PREFACE 

The  Problem  and  Its  Solution 

Can  the  student  of  the  Bible  be  assisted  in  discovering  and  formulating  the  truths  in  the 
Scriptures  and  in  tracing  them  in  all  their  varying  phases,  through  the  Scriptures,  so  as  to 
find  all  passages  relating  thereto?  In  other  words,  can  a  system  of  references  be  devised 
that  will  connect  every  passage  containing  any  given  subject  or  subjects  with  every  other 
passage  containing  the  same  subject  or  subjects  in  a  plain  and  convenient  form,  adapted  to 
the  ordinary  Bible  reader  as  well  as  to  the  experienced  student? 

It  is  believed  that  this  problem  has  been  solved.  A  corps  of  trained  and  skillful  experts 
in  analysis  made  a  careful  study  for  subjects  of  each  verse,  paragraph,  chapter,  and  group  of 
chapters,  each  verse  passing  through  the  hands  of  all  the  workers.  Notes  of  all  subjects  found 
therein  were  made  by  each  of  them  in  the  margins,  opposite  the  passages,  as  for  example,  in 
the  first  verse  of  the  Bible  were  noted  five  topics:  Time;  God,  creator;  Creation,  beginning  of; 
Heavens,  physical;  Earth,  created.  In  Matt.  5:3,  seven  topics  were  noted:  Spiritual  Peace; 
Righteous,  described;  Humility;  Christian  Graces;  Promise,  to  the  righteous;  Righteous,  jyromises 
to;  Kingdom  of  Heaven.  In  verse  45  eleven  topics,  and  in  verse  48  eight  topics  were  noted. 
Some  verses  were  found  to  contain  more,  and  some  less,  than  these  examples.  More  than 
80,000  annotations  were  thus  made  in  the  margins,  embracing  all  sorts  of  topics :  religious,  secu- 
lar, biographical,  geographical,  sociological;  relating  to  arts,  history,  poetry,  customs,  manners, 
etc.  Following  each  marginal  note,  the  book,  chapter,  and  verse  were  given  connecting  them 
with  the  footnotes  (described  below). 

The  subjects  in  the  verses  having  been  thus  annotated,  all  passages  from  all  parts  of  the 
Bible,  relating  to  each  subject,  were  collected  and  arranged  under  descriptive  subheadings, 
creating  footnotes,  which  were  located  in  selected  places,  as  for  example,  all  passages  teaching 
any  truth  about  God  were  assembled  in  a  footnote,  God,  beginning  on  page  3,  which  b 
cited  from  Gen.  2:2,  by  a  star  before  the  word  "God."  These  passages  were  arranged  under 
subheadings,  such  as  Goodness  of.  Love  of,  Mercy  of.  Providence  of,  etc.,  according  to  the 
contents  of  the  passages.  In  hke  manner  all  scriptures  containing  any  truth  or  fact  about 
Jesus  were  assembed  and  arranged  in  a  footnote,  Jesus.  This  footnote  begins  on  page 
1298,  and  is  cited  from  Matt.  1:21,  by  a  star  before  the  word  "Jesus."  This  plan  was  carried 
out  with  respect  to  all  subjects,  as  exhaustively  and  thoroughly  as  possible,  in  order  that  the 
student  might  find  in  the  margins,  opposite  the  verse  he  is  reading,  topical  notes  of  all  subjects 
contained  in  the  verse  and  a  reference  to  an  elaborate  footnote  of  each  subject,  enabling  hini 
to  pursue  it  to  its  end.  By  this  system  it  matters  not  in  what  passage  a  subject  attracts  atten- 
tion, it  may  be  followed  from  that  passage  through  all  its  ramifications  of  the  Scriptures. 

The  Commentary  value  of  the  marginal  notes.  The  marginal  notes  on  the  text  not  only 
lead  the  way  to  an  exliaustive  study  of  the  subjects  in  the  Scriptures  but  they  serve  the  very 
useful  purpose  also  of  a  brief,  suggestive  commentary,  bringing  to  the  student  of  the  Bible  in 
terse  form  the  gist  of  all  the  standard  commentaries  as  well  as  the  topical  suggestions  of  a 
corps  of  annotators,  who  had  a  genius  for  analytical  study  of  the  Word  of  God. 

Footnotes 

The  footnotes  are,  approximately,  an  exhaustive  exhibit  of  their  subjects,  and  are  based 

wholly  on  the  Revised  Version  text.  Wlien  it  has  been  practicable  the  passages  under  general 
headings  have  been  grouped  under  subheadings.  The  passages  under  some  headings  furnish 
a  large  variety  of  subtopical  features  of  subjects  and  admit  of  instructive  and  useful  divisions 


g  PREFACE 

under  subheadings,  while  those  under  other  headings  do  not  furnish  any  opportunity  of  sub- 
topical  arrangement.  For  example,  in  the  subject  God,  pp.  3-6,  there  are  forty-seven  principal 
subheadings  and  two  hundred  and  eighty-one  subordinate  subheadings,  citing  more  than  5,000 
verses  of  Scripture.  It  was  practicable  to  subdivide  the  passages  cited  under  the  princijjal  sub- 
headino-  Condescension,  p.  3,  into  nine  subordinate  groups,  as  they  teach  nine  different  phases  of 
God's  condescension ;  but  the  passages  cited  under  the  next  subheading.  Creator,  of  the  earth, 
p.  3,  fifty  in  number,  cannot  be  so  subdivided,  the  passages  being  mere  statements  of  the  one 
fact  that  the  earth  was  created  by  God.  There  is  an  equal  number  under  Creator,  of  man, 
and  more  than  that  number  under  Fatherhood,  taught  by  Jesus  and  tamjht  by  the  apostles,  p.  3. 
These  groups  look  formidable,  but  do  not  admit  of  subdivision  for  the  reason  that  the  pas- 
sages contain  no  notable  differences;  and  being  arranged  in  the  order  of  the  books  of  the 
Bible,  it  recjuires  only  a  short  time  to  turn  to  all  the  citations.  It  was  necessary  in  cases  of  this 
kind  to  choose  between  two  plans,  eitlier  to  cite  only  the  most  striking  passages  or  to  cite  all. 
The  latter  plan  has  been  adopted  throughout  this  book  for  two  reasons:  First,  for  the  benefit 
of  those  who  want  all  that  the  Bible  contains  on  any  given  subject;  and  second,  because  few 
persons  would  agree  as  to  which  passages  should  be  omitted  and  which  retained  on  a  theory  of 
relative  value. 

The  location  of  footnotes.  A  natural  way  would  have  been  to  locate  the  footnote  of  a  sub- 
ject where  that  subject  first  a])pears  in  the  Bible.  This  was  found  impracticable  for  the  reason 
that  a  large  proportion  of  subjects  first  appear  in  the  Pentateuch,  a  large  percentage  of  all  in 
Genesis,  and  many,  indeed,  in  the  first  half  dozen  of  its  chapters.  The  rule  adopted,  therefore, 
is  to  connect  the  footnote,  when  practicable,  with  the  passage  that  is  most  naturally  suggested 
to  the  mind  of  the  student,  as  for  example,  the  subject  Heavens,  physical,  has  its  footnote  sign 
in  Psa.  8:3,  "When  I  consider  thy  heavens,  the  work  of  thy  hands,"  a  familiar  passage  to  all 
Bible  students.  Often,  however,  it  has  been  impracticable  to  connect  it  with  the  verse  best 
adapted  to  the  subject  on  account  of  other  footnotes  forcing  themselves  to  the  same  place  or  in 
close  proximity. 

Much  care  has  been  given  to  the  location  of  footnotes  to  prevent  too  many  falling  together, 
and  at  the  same  time  to  connect  them  with  verses  befitting  them. 

The  cyclopedic  valw,  of  the  footnotes.  The  footnotes  constitute  a  Bible  dictionary,  or 
cyclopedia,  condensed  to  narrow  limits.  They  omit  extended  discussions  of  features,  but 
they  contain  all  the  matter  necessary  to  a  complete  biblical  study  of  their  subjects. 

Index-Concordance 

To  enable  the  student  to  pursue  the  study  of  any  biblical  subject  an  elaborate  index 
has  been  compiled,  with  copious  synonyms  and  kindred  terms,  citing  the  pages  on  which 
footnotes  of  the  subjects  are  located.  Concordance  references  have  been  added  to  enable  the 
student  to  find  any  verse  he  may  need.     This  index-concordance  is  in  the  back  part  of  the 

book. 

Alternate  Readings 

Where  the  translation  in  the  Revised  Versions  differs  essentially  from  that  of  the  King 
James  translation  the  revised  reading  is  noted  in  the  margin  and  is  connected  with  the  text  hy 
a  numeral.  Where  the  English  and  American  Committees'  renderings  agree  the  simple  abbre- 
viation R.  V.  precedes  the  reading.  Where  the  American  Conmiittee's  rendering  differs  from 
that  of  the  English  Committee's  the  American  Committee's  rendering  is  given  the  preference, 
and  in  such  cases  the  reading  in  the  margin  is  preceded  by  the  abbreviation  Am.  R.  V. 

In  certain  instances  where  the  alternate  readings  in  the  Revised  Versions  indicate  specially 
useful  suggestions  as  the  possi])le  renderings  of  the  original,  diey  have  been  printed  in  the  margins 
without  attributing  them  to  the  Revised  Versions.     They  are  usually  preceded  by  the  word  Or. 

When  the  Revised  Versions  omit  a  verse,  or  an  essential  part  of  a  verse,  of  the  King  James 
Version,  this  fact  is  noted  in  the  margin,  but  the  subjects  in  such  omitted  passages  are  noted, 
as  usual,  without  regard  to  such  omission. 


PREFACE  Hi 

Parallel  Scriptures 

To  a  limited  extent  parallel  passages  are  cited  in  the  margins  without  topical  notes, 
after  the  custom  in  ordinary  reference  Bibles,  This  method,  however,  is  confined  strictly 
to  parallels,  and  thus  the  student  is  not  left  in  uncertainty  as  to  what  will  be  found  at  the 
places  cited. 

Messianic  Scriptures 

INIessianic  scriptures  have  been  annotated  under  the  term  "Jesus"  instead  of  "Messiah"  for 
the  reasons:  1st.  The  Messiah  is  foresliadowed,  first,  in  the  promise  that  the  seed  of  the  woman 
shall  bruise  the  serpent's  head,  the  ISIessiah  triumphing  over  the  power  of  evil;  second,  he  is 
foreshadowed  in  the  types  of  atoning  animal  sacrifices  as  the  Savior  of  the  world  from  their  sins. 
These  are  the  dominant  themes  of  the  INIessianic  message  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments,  and 
they  identify  Jesus  tlie  Savior  of  the  New  Testament  with  the  promised  Savior  and  triumphing 
Messiah  of  the  Old  Testament.  The  term  "Messiah"  does  not  express  the  idea  of  savior.  The 
term  "Jesus"  does  exactly  express  it,  and  its  use  serves  the  double  purpose  of  exact  expression 
and  of  identifying  the  Son  of  man  of  tlie  New  Testament  with  the  promised,  and  typified, 
atoning  Redeemer  of  the  Old  Testament.  2d.  The  Messianic  idea  of  the  Old  Testament  in  the 
promise  to  David  that  his  seed  should  reign  forever,  and  tlie  prophecies  of  the  glorious  king- 
dom of  Israel's  hope,  foreshadowed  not  a  savior  or  redeemer  but  a  king  to  whose  standard 
all  nations  should  come,  and  whose  kingdom  of  righteousness,  triumphing  over  the  powers  of 
evil,  should  become  an  universal  and  everlasting  kingdom.  In  annotating  passages  of  this 
class  the  natural  term  would  be  Messiah.  In  order  to  avoid  confusion  by  using  different  terms 
to  represent  the  different  phases  of  his  mission  and  to  impress  all  students  with  the  essential 
identity  of  the  Savior  of  the  Neiv  Testament  with  the  typified  redeemer  and  glorious  Messiah  of 
the  Old  Testament,  one  term  Jesus,  his  revealed  name,  was  chosen,  and  under  this  term  were 
grouped  all  scriptures  relating  to  both  Savior  and  triumphant  Lord. 

Chronology 

The  latest  conclusions  drawn  from  well-established  and  generally  accepted  sciences,  as 
well  as  recent  archaeological  discoveries,  have  discredited  Archbishop  Usher's  chronology,  which 
has  been  adopted  in  Bibles  generally.  While  thus  discredited,  nevertheless,  it  has  its  value.  It 
has  been  adopted  in  this  Bible,  but  is  followed  by  an  interrogation  point,  in  order  to  suggest 
that  the  time  indicated  is  of  uncertain  value,  and  the  student  is  referred  to  the  footnote  Time, 
which  occurs  at  Rev.  10:6,  p.  1702,  where  the  general  topic  Time  is  elaborated. 


Orville  J.  Nave. 


EXPLANATION 


The  first  superior  letter  in  the  text,  Gen.  1:1,  is  "a,"  which  refers  the  student  to  the 
corresponding  letter  in  the  margin,  where  he  will  find  the  topic  Time  citing  Rev.  10:6.  At 
the  bottom  of  the  page,  under  Rev.  10:6,  is  a  footnote,  Time,  containing  an  elaborate  exhibit 
of  aU  the  facts  and  other  useful  information  in  the  Bible  relating  to  the  subject  Time. 
Footnotes  are  reached  by  star,  dagger,  double  dagger,  etc.,  in  the  text. 

The  next  letter  is  '"b,"  which  refers  to  the  marginal  note  God,  creator,  Gen,  2:2.  Refer- 
ring to  Gen.  2:2,  page  3,  the  student  finds  a  footnote  containing  an  elaborate  exhibit  of  the 
truths  taught  in  the  Bible  about  God.  As  in  Gen.  1 :1  the  marginal  note  God  cites  Gen. 
2:2,  so  in  all  scriptures,  where  a  notable  fact  concerning  God  occurs,  the  marginal  note 
cites  Gen.  2:2.  As  with  the  topic  God  in  this  instance,  so  of  all  subjects,  the  marginal  notes 
cite  the  footnotes  of  the  subjects. 

The  next  letter  is  "c,"  which  refers  to  the  marginal  note  Creation,  beginning  of,  Mark 
13:19.  In  Mark  13:19,  a  dagger  i})  a})pcars  before  the  word  Creation,  which  leads  to  the 
footnote  Creation  at  bottom  of  the  page,  where  all  facts  noted  in  the  Bible  and  all  useful 
scriptures  relating  to  that  subject  are  cited,  just  as  everything  ia  found  in  the  footnotes 
described  above  relating  to  their  subjects.  In  other  scriptures,  where  the  subject  Creation 
occurs,  reference  is  made  in  the  margins  to  Mark  13:19. 

In  the  margin  of  the  first  verse  of  the  Bible  are  the  snbjccts  Time,  God,  Creation, 
Heavens,  Earth;  in  the  second  verse  Holy  Spirit,  Water.  These  are  all  the  subjects  con- 
tained in  these  verses.  No  marginal  notes  appear  opposite  verses  4,  5,  7,  and  8,  but  these 
verses  contain  letters  and  typographical  signs  which  show  that  they  have  been  completely 
analyzed  and  that  the  subjects  contained  therein  are  in  the  margins  of  preceding  verses  and 
in  the  footnotes.  In  this  manner  all  verses  of  the  Bible  are  topically  analyzed,  the  subjects 
being  placed,  as  nearly  as  is  practicable,  immediately  opposite  the  verses  which  contain  them, 
except,  of  course,  those  that  appear  in  preceding  verses.  In  such  cases  the  letter  which 
belongs  to  the  marginal  subject  where  it  first  appears  is  repeated  in  the  text  of  the  verses 
following,  but  the  suV)ject  is  not  repeated  in  the  margin. 

The  subjects  in  the  margins  always  refer  to  their  footnotes  which  are  located  at  the  most 
suitable  places  in  the  Bible  that  could  be  found  for  them.  On  the  first  page  are  footnotes 
of  the  subjects  Darkness,  Light,  Day,  Night,  etc.  Under  the  topics  Light  and  Day,  and  so 
also  of  other  subjects,  it  has  been  thought  not  necessary  to  refer  to  every  scripture  where  the 
word  light  or  day  appears,  as  is  done  in  complete  Concordances,  but  rather  to  refer  the 
student  to  those  scriptures  only  that  have  a  topical  value.  It  can  be  relied  upon  that  aU 
footnotes  contain  all  useful  facts  relating  to  the  subjects  in  hand.

'"seed  "after  his  kind,  and  the 
tree  yielding  fruit,  whose  seed 
was  in  itself,  after  his  kind:  and 
*God  saw  that  it  was  good. 

13  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  third  May. 

14  t  And  "God  said.  Let  there 
be  "'^lights  in  the  ^firmament  of 
the  heaven  to  divide  the  May 
from  the  "night;  and  let  them  be 
for  *signs,  and  for  ''seasons,  and 
for  days,  and  *years: 

15  And  let  them  be  for  lights  in 
the  ^firmament  of  the  heaven  to 
give  ^light  upon  the  ''earth:  and 
it  was  so. 

16  And  ^God  made  two  great 
lights;  the  "greater  light  to  rule 
the  ■''day,  and  the  ^lesser  light  to 
rule  the  "night:  he  made  the 
'stars  also. 

17  x\nd  *God  set  them  in  the 
^firmament  of  the  heaven  to  give 
light  upon  the  *earth. 

18  And  to  rule  over  the  ^day 
and  over  the  "night,  and  to  di- 
vide the  ^light  from  the  *dark- 
ness :  and  ''God  saw  that  '?'/  was 
good. 

19  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  fourth   May. 

20  And  "God  saitl,  Let  the  "wa- 
ters ^'^bring  forth  abundantly 
the  moving  "creature  that  hath 
life,  and  "fowl  that  may  fly  above 
the  earth  ^in  the  open  ^firma- 
ment of  heaven. 

21  And  ''God  created  great 
"'whales,  and  every  living  crea- 
ture that  moveth,  which  the  ''wa- 
ters ^brought  forth  abundantly, 
"after  their  kind,  and  every 
winged  "fowl  after  his  kind :  and 
God  saw  that  Ht  tvas  good. 

22  And  "God  ^blessed  them, 
saying,  *Be  fruitful,  and  multi- 
ply, and  fill  the  "waters  in  the 
'^seas,  and  let  "fowl  multiply  in 
the  earth. 

23  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  fifth  May. 

24  Tl  And  God  said.  Let  the 


''earth  ^bring;  forth  the  living 
creature  "after  his  kind,  ^cattle, 
and  ^creeping  thing,  and  beast  of 
the  earth  after  his  kind:  and  it 
was  so. 

25  And  "God  made  the  ^beast 
of  the  earth  "after  his  kind,  and 
cattle  after  their  kind,  and  every 
thing  that  ^creepeth  upon  the 
earth  after  his  kind:  and  God 
saw  that  Ht  was  good. 

26  T[  And  "God  said,  Let  us 
make  '^•'^man  in  our  ''image,  after 
our  likeness :  and  let  ^them  have 
dominion  over  the  "fish  of  the

and  over  the  Vattle,  and  over  all 
the  'earth,  and  over  every 
^creeping  thing  that  creepeth 
upon  the  earth. 

27  So  "God  created  "■'^man  in 
his  own  ''image,  in  the  image  of

'"female  created  he  them. 

28  And  "God  "blessed  them,

'■•*!  have  given  you  every  herb 
bearing  seed,  which  is  upon  the

tree,  in  the  which  is  the  fruit

there  is  ^-"life,  ''•^I  have  given

the  Lord  God  had  not  caused  it

23  And  Ad'S,m  said,  This  is 
now  bone  of  my  bones,  and  flesh

were  ^not  ashamed. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  serpent  deceives  Eve.  6  Man's  fall.  9 
God  arraigns  them.  14  The  serpent  is 
cursed,  lb  The  promised  seed.  16  The 
punishment  of  mankind.  21  Their 
first  clothing.  23  The u  are  driven  out  of 
paradise. 

MOW  the  "■"serpent  was 
1*  more  ''subtil  than  any 
beast  of  the  field  which  the 
Lord  God  had  made.  And  he 
"•^said  unto  the  %oman.  Yea, 
hath  God  said.  Ye  shall  not  eat 
of  every  tree  of  the  garden  ? 

2  And  the  ^woman  said  imto 
the  "■  ''serpent,  ^Ve  may  eat  of  the 
fruit  of  the  trees  of  the  garden: 

3  But  of  the  fruit  of  the  ''■"tree 
which  is  in  the  midst  of  the  gar- 
den, God  hath  said,  'Ye  shall 
not  eat  of  it,  neither  shall  ye 
touch  it,  lest  ye  die. 

4  And  the  "■^serpent  'said  unto 
the  ''woman,  ''■^Ye  shall  not 
surely  die: 

5  ''•''For  God  doth  know  that  in 


the  day  ye  eat  thereof,  then  your 
eyes  shall  be  opened,  and  ye 
shall  be  as  ^gods,  M-cnowing 
"^good  and  evil. 

6  '"And  when  the  ''woman  saw 
that  the  ''tree  toas  ''good  for  food, 
and  that  it  loas  pleasant  to  the 
eyes,  and  a  tree  ^to  be  "■^desired 
to  make  one  ''wise,  ^she  ''took  of 
the  fi-uit  thereof,  and  did  eat, 
and  ''gave  also  unto  her  *hus- 
band  with  her;  and  ^he  did  eat. 

7  'And  the  eyes  of  them  both 
were  opened,  and  they  ''knew 
that  they  were  naked;  and  they 
sewed  *'fig  leaves  together,  and 
made  themselves  ^^ '^aprons. 

8  And  they  heard  the^'  ^voice  of 
the  TvORD  God  walking  in  the 
garden  in  the  ^cool  of  the  day 
and  ®'*Ad'am  and  his  ''wife 
"■  ^hid  themselves  from  the  pres 
cnce  of  the  Lord  ^God  amongst 
the  trees  of  the  garden. 

9  And  the  Lord  God  called 
unto  ^'"Ad'Sm,  and  said  unto 
him.  Where  art  thou? 

10  And  "he  said,  I  heard  thy 
voice  in  the  garden,  and  I  was 
"■"^afraid,  because  I  was  naked; 
and  I  hid  myself. 

11  And  he  said.  Who  told  thee 
that  thou  wast  naked  ?  ^■''Hast 
thou  eaten  of  the  tree,  whereof 
I  commanded  thee  that  thou 
shouldest  not  eat  ? 

12  And  the  man  ^'^said,  "The 
''woman  whom  thou  gavest  io 
be  with  me,  she  gave  me  of  tiie 
tree,  and  I  Mid  eat. 

13  And  the  Lord  God  said  un- 
to the  ''woman.  What  is  this 
that  thou  hast  done  ?  And  the 
woman  "said.  The  ^■^erpent  be- 
guiled me,  and  I  Mid  eat. 

14  And  the  Lord  God  said  un- 
to the  *■ 'serpent,  Because  thou

and  to  his  ''■''offermg: 

5  But  unto  *Cain  and  to  his 
''offering  he  had  not  respect. 
And  Cain  was  very  '•^'^ wroth,

Lord  set  a  mark  upon  Cain,

CHAPTER  6 

The  wickedness  of  the  world,  which  provoked 
God's  wrath,  and  caused  the  flood.  8 
Noah  finds  grace.  14  The  order,  form, 
and  use  of  the  ark. 

AND   it   came  to  pass,  when 
*men  began  to  multiply  on 
the  face  of  the  earth,  and  daugh- 
ters were  born  unto  them, 
2  That  the  sons  of  God  saw 


the  daughters  of  men  that  they 
were  fair;  and  they  "took  them 
wives  of  all  which  they  chose. 

3  And  the  "Lord  said,  ''My 
spirit  .^hall  not  always  strive  with 
''man,  for  that  he  also  is  flesh : 
yet  his  days  shall  be  ''an  hun- 
dred and  twenty  years. 

4  There  were  giants  in  the 
earth  in  those  days;  and  also 
after  that,  when  the  sons  of  God 
came  in  unto  the  daughters  of 
men,  and  they  bare  children  to 
thera,  the  same  became  mighty 
men  which  were  of  old,  men  of 
renown. 

5  *[[  And  ^God  saw  that  the 
"wickedness  of  *'''man  was  great 
in  the  earth,  and  tJiat  every 
^imagination  of  the  thoughts  of 
his  *heart  was  only  evil  con 
tinually. 

6  'And  it  ^'h-epented  the 
'"Lord  that  he  had  made  ''man 
on  the  earth,  and  it  grieved  him 
at  his  heart. 

7  And  the  Lord  said,  I  will 
"•"destroy  ''man  whom  I  have 
created  from  the  face  of  the 
earth;  both  man,  and  *beast,  and 
the  ''creeping  thing,  and  the 
fowls  of  the  air;  for  'it  repenteth 
me  that  I  have  made  them. 

8  But  *Nu'ah  found  'grace  in 
the  eyes  of  the  Lord. 

9  ^  These  are  the  "generations 
of  *No'ali:  No'ah  was  a  just  man 
a7id  '-"perfect  in  his  generations, 
and  No'ah  "'•  ^walked  with  God 

10  And  *N6'ah  begat  three 
sons,  ^Shem,  ^Ham,  and  ^Ja'-

1 1  The  earth  also  was  "corrupt 
before  God,  and  the  earth  was 
filled  with  violence. 

12  And  God  looked  upon  the 
earth,  and,  behold,  it  was  "cor- 
rupt; for  all  flesh  had  corrupted 
his  way  upon  the  earth. 

13  And  "God  ^said  unto 
''No'ah,  The  end  of  all  flesh  is 
come  before  me ;  for  the  earth  is 
filled  with  violence  through 
them;  and,  behold,  I  will  *de- 
stroy  them  with  the  earth. 

14  /Make  ^thee  an  "ark  of 
gopher  wood;  rooms  shalt  thou 
make  in  the  ark,  and  shalt  pitch 
it  within  and  without  with  ''pitch. 

15  And  this  is  the  fashionwh'ich 
thou  shalt  make  it  of:  The 
length  of  the  "ark  shall  be  three 
hundred  ''cubits,  the  breadth  of 
it  fifty  cubits,  and  the  height  of  it 
thirty  cubits. 

16  A  ^-Vindow  shalt  thou 
make  to  the  "ark,  and  in  a  ''cubit 
shalt  thou  finish  it  above;  and 
the  door  of  the  ark  shalt  thou  set 
in  the  side  thereof;  tvith  lower, 
second,  and  third  stories  shalt 
thou  make  it. 

17  And,  behold,  *I,  even  I,  do 
bring  a  ^flood  of  waters  upon  the 
earth,  to  ^destroy  all  flesh, 
wherein  is  the  breath  of  life, 
from  under  heaven;  and  every 
thing  that  is  in  the  earth  shall 
'^die. 


18  But  with  '^•'thee  will  "'I 
establish  my  "^covenant;  and 
thou  shalt  come  into  the  "ark, 
thou,  and  thy  "sons,  and  thy 
wife,  and  thy  sons'  wives  with 
thee. 

19  And  of  every  ^living  thing  of 
all  flesh,  two  of  every  sort  shalt 
thou  bring  into  the  "ark,  to  keep 
them  alive  with  thee;  they  shall 
))e  male  and  female. 

20  Of  fowls  after  their  kind, 
and  of  cattle  after  their  kind,  of 
every  creeping  thing  of  the  earth 
after  his  kind,  two  of  every  sort 
shall  come  unto  thee,  to  keep 
them  alive. 

21  And  take  '^thou  unto  thee  of 
all  'food  that  is  eaten,  and  thou 
shalt  gather  it  to  thee;  and  it 
shall  be  for  food  for  thee,  and 
for  ^them.

to  all  that  God  commanded 
him,  so  did  he.

"No'ah,  and  "Shem,  and  ^Ham, 
and  ^Ja'pheth,  the  sons  of 
No'ah,  and  No'ah's  wife,  and 
the  three  wives  of  his  sons  with 
them,  into  the  ''ark; 

14  They,  and  every  ^beast  after 
his  kind,  and  all  the  cattle  after 
their  kind,  and  every  creeping 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth  after  his  kind,  and  every 
''fowl  after  his  kind,  every  bird 
of  every  sort. 

15  And  they  went  in  unto 
''No'ah  into  the  ''ark,  two  and 
two  of  all  flesh,  wherein  la  the 
■^breath  of  life. 

16  Antl  they  that  went  in,  went 
in  male  and  female  of  all  flesh, 
as  God  had  commanded  him 
and  the  Lord  shut  him  in. 

17  And    the    '"flood  was  'forty 
days  upon  the  earth ;  and  the  wa 
ters  increased,  and  bare  up  the 
*ark,  and  it  was  lift  up  above 
the  earth. 

18  And  the  waters  ])revailed, 
and  were  increased  greatly  upon 
the  earth ;  and  the  ^ark  went  up 
on  the  face  of  the  waters. 

19  And  the  waters  prevailed  ex- 
ceedingly upon  the  earth;  and  all 
the  high  'hills,  that  were  under 
the  whole  heaven,  were  covered. 

20  Fifteen  '^cubits  upward  did 
the  waters  prevail;  and  the 
mountains  were  covered. 

21  And  all  flesh  ^'-Mied  that 
moved  upon  the  earth,  both  of 
fowl,  and  of  cattle,  and  of  beast.

22  All  in  whose  nostrils  was  the 
^breath  of  life,  of  all  that  was  in 
the  dry  land,  ''^■''died. 

23  And  every  living  substance 
was  ^destroyed  which  was  upon 
the   face   of   the   ground,    both 

man,  and  ^cattle,  and  the  creep- 
ing things,  and  the  ^fowl  of  the 
heaven ;  and  they  were  destroyed 
from  the  earth :  and  "No'ah  only 
remained  alive,  and  they  that 
were  with  him  in  the  ^ark. 

24  And  the  '"waters  prevailed 
upon  the  earth  an  hundred  and 
fifty  days. 

CHAPTER  8 

The  waters  assuage.  4  The  ark  rests  on 
Ararat.  7  The  raven  and  the  dare,  lo 
Noah,  being  commanded,  18  gocth  lorth 
out  of  the  ark.  20  He  builds  an  attar,  and 
offers  sacrifice,  21  wliich  God  accepts,  and 
■promises  to  curse  the  earth  no  more. 

AND  "God  ''remembered 
"^Nd'ah,  and  every  living 
thing,  and  all  the  cattle  that  was 
with  him  in  the  '^ark:  and  God 
made  a  *wind  to  pass  over  the 
earth,  and  the  ''waters  as- 
suaged : 

2  The  fountains  also  of  the  deep 
and  the  windows  of  heaven  were 
stopped,  and  the  ''rain  from 
heaven  was  restrained; 

3  And  the  waters  returned  from 
off  the  ^carth  continually:  and 
after  the  end  of  the  hundred  and 
fifty  days  the  waters  were 
abated. 

4  And  the  ''ark  rested  in  the 
seventh  'inonth,  on  the  seven- 
teenth day  of  the  month,  upon 
the  mountains  of    Ar'a-rat. 

5  And  the  ^waters  decreased 
continually     until      the      tenth 


'month:  in  the  tenth  month,  on 
the  first  day  of  the  month,  were 
the  tops  of  the  mountains  seen. 

6  *\  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  ^forty  days,  that  '^No'ah 
opened  the  ^window  of  the  ''ark 
which  he  had  made: 

7  And  he  sent  forth  a  'raven, 
which  went  forth  to  and  fro,  un 
til   the   "waters  were  dried  up 
from  off  the  'earth. 

8  Also  he  sent  forth  a  ^dove 
from  him,  to  see  if  the  ''waters 
were  abated  from  off  the  face  of 
the  ground ; 

9  But  the  ^dove  found  no  rest 
for  the  sole  of  her  foot,  and  she 
returned  unto  him  into  the  ''ark, 
for  the  waters  loere  on  the  face  of 
the  whole  earth:  then  he  put 
forth  his  hand,  and  took  her,  anc 
pulled  her  in  unto  him  into  the 
ark. 

10  And  he  stayed  yet  other 
'"seven  days;  and  again  he  sent 
forth  the  '^dove  out  of  the  ''ark; 

11  And  the  ^dove  came  in  to 
him  in  the  evening;  and,  lo,  in 
her  mouth  was  an  ''olive  leaf 
pluckt  off:  so  No'ah  knew  that 
the  waters  were  abated  from  off 
the  ''earth. 

12  And  he  stayed  yet  other 
'"seven  days;  and  sent  forth  the 
^dove;  which  returned  not  again 
unto  him  any  more. 

13  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
six  hundredth  and  first  year,  in 
the  first  ^month,  the  first  day  of 
the  month,  the  ''waters  were 
dried  up  from  off  the  earth :  and 
'^No'ah  removed  the  covering  of 
the  ''ark,  and  looked,  and,  be- 
hold, the  face  of  the  "ground 
was  dry.

that  they  may  ■'^breed  abundant-

his  sons,  and  his  wife,  and  his 
sons'  wives  with  him : 

19  Every  beast,  every  creeping 
thing,  and  every  fowl,  and  what- 
soever creepeth  upon  the  earth, 
after  their  kinds,  went  forth  out 
of  the  ark.

7  And  you,  '^•^be  ye  fruitful,  and

in  the  earth,  and  multiply

^  And  ^God  spake  unto

9  And  I,  benold,  ^I  establish 
my  ^covenant  with  you,  and 
with  your  seetl  after  you : 

10  ^And  with  every  ^living

all  flesh  be  cut  off  any  more  by 
the  '^waters  of  a  *flood;  neither 
shall  there  any  more  be  a  flood 
to  destroy  the  earth. 

12  And  '^God  said,  This  is  the

make  between  me  and  you  antl

that  "I  may 'remember  the  ever-

AND  the  whole  earth  was  of 
one  °  language,  and  of  one 
speech. 

2  And  It  came  to  pass,  as  they 
journeyed  from  the  east,  that 
they  found  a  plain  in  the  land  of 
''ShI'nar;  and  they  dwelt  there. 

3  And  they  said  one  to  another, 
Go  to,  let  us  "^make  *brick,  and 
burn  them  thoroughly.  And 
they  had  brick  for  stone,  and 
^slime  had  they  for  ''morter. 

4  And  they  said.  Go  to,  ''let  us 
build  us  a  city  and  a  ^tower, 
whose  top  may  reach  unto  heav- 
en ;  and  let  us  ''make  us  a  name, 
lest  we  be  scattered  abroad  upon 
the  face  of  the  whole  earth. 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  to 
^see   the   city   and   the   'tower, 

which    the     children     of    men 
builded. 

6  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold, 
the  people  is  one,  and  they  have 
all  one  ''language;  and  this  they 
begin  to  do:  and  now  nothing 
will  be  restrained  from  them, 
which  they  "have  imagined  to 
do. 

7  Go  to,  let  us  go  down,  and 
there  ''confound  their  language, 
that  they  may  not  understand 
one  another's  speech. 

8  So  the  Lord  "scattered  them

CHAPTER  12 

God  calls  Abram,  and  blesses  Mm.  3  A 
promise  of  Messiah.  4  Abram  departeth 
with  Lot  from  Haran.  6  He  journeys 
through  the  land  of  Canaan,  7  which  is 
promised  him  in  a  vision.  10  He  is 
driven  by  a  famine  into  Egypt.  11  Fear 
makes  Mm  feign  Ms  wife  to  be  his  sister. 
14  Pharaoh,  having  taken  her  from  him, 
is  compelled  by  plagues  to  restore  her. 

lyrOW  the  Lord  had  said 
IN  unto  '^A'bram,  ''•'^•'^Get 
thee  out  of  thy  country,  and 
from  thy  kindred,  and  from  thy 
father's  house,  unto  a  ^land  that 
^I  will  shew  thee: 

2  And  ^I  will  make  of  "•''thee  a 
great  nation,  and  I  will  '^bless 
thee,  and  make  thy  name  great; 
and  thou  shalt  be  a  blessing: 

3  And  ^I  will  bless  them  that 
bless  thee,  and  curse  him  that 


curseth  thee:  and  ■■'in  "thee 
shall  *all  'families  of  the  earth 
be  blessed. 

4  So  "A'bram  "''"departed,  as 
the  Lord  had  spoken  unto  him; 
and  "Lot  went  with  him:  and 
A'bram  was  seventy  and  five 
years  old  when  he  departed  out 
of  ^Ha'ran. 

5  And  "A'bram  took  ^Sa'rai 
his  wife,  and  "Lot  his  brother's 
son,  and  all  their  substance  that 
they  had  gathered,  and  the  souls 
that  they  had  gotten  in  ^Ha'ran ; 
and  they  went  forth  to  go  into 
the  land  of  ''Ca'naan:  and  into 
the  land  of  Ca'naan  they  came

of  Si'chem,  unto  the  ^plain  of

was  then  in  the  land. 

7  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
"A'bram,  and  said,  Unto  thy

there  "builded  he  an  "'^  ^altar  un-

*  PKOPHECIES  Concerning  Jesus,  the  Messiah, 
and  their  Fultillnient.  Many  of  the  prophetic  scriptures, 
which  are  commonly  described  as  Messianic,  find  their  ful- 
flliment,  according  to  the  common  view  among  Christian 
interpreters,  in  Jesus,  the  Saviour;  such  as,  the  prophetic 
announcement  of  the  victor  over  Satan  described  as  "  the 
seed  of  the  woman.  "  Gen.  3:15,  and  the  promise  to  Abra- 
ham "In  thy  seed  shall  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  be 
blessed,"  Gen.  22:18.  Other  Messianic  scriptures  relate

plain  of  ^' Jor'dan ;  and  Lot  jour- 
neyed ea^t:  and  they  separated 
themselves  the  one  from  the 
other.

pitched  Ills  tent  Howard  ^Sod'- 
om.

were  ^wicked  and  sinners  before 
the  Lord  exceedingly. 

14  T[  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
"A'bram,  after  that  Lot  was 
separated  from  him,  Lift  up  now 
thine  eyes,  and  look  from  the 
^place  where  thou  art  north-

so  that  if  a  man  can  number  the

17  Arise,  walk  through  the

which  is  by  the  wihlcrness. 

7  And  they  returned,  and  came 
to  En-mish'pat,  which  is  ■''Ka'-

of  the  'Am'a-lek-ites,  and  also 
the  "Am'or-Ites,  that  dwelt  in 
""  Haz'e-zon-ta'mar . 

8  And  there  went  out  the  king 
of  ''Sod'om,  and  the  king  of

^Ad'mah,  and  the  king  of  "Ze-

king  of  "Shl'nar,  and  A'ri-och

with  five. 

10  And  the  vale  of  SidMim  was 
full  of  "slimepits;  and  the  kings 
of  ''Sod'om  and  *G6-m6r'rah 
fled,  and  fell  there;  and  they  that 
remained  fled  to  the  mountain. 

11  And  they  took  all  the  "goods 
of  '^Sod'om  and  '^Go-mor'rah, 
and  all  their  victuals,  and  went 
their  way, 

they    took     ^'^Lot,

''Sod'om,     and     his

pursued  them  unto  ^Ditn.

which  is  on  the  ^left  hand  of

Mam're;  let  them  take  their

CHAPTER  15 

God  encourages  Abram.  2  Abram  com- 
plains for  want  of  an  heir.  4  God  prom- 
ises him  a  son,  and  a  numerous  seed. 
6  Abraham  Is  justified  by  faith.  7 
Canaan  is  promised  again,  and  con- 
firmed by  a  sign,  12  and  a  vision. 

AFTER  these  things  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  '^•*A'br2,m  in  a  "vision,  say- 
ing, Fear  not,  A'bram:  ^•'•'l  am 
thy  "shield,  arid  thy  exceeding 
jrreat  reward. 

2  And  "A'bram  ''said.  Lord 
God,  Vhat  wilt  thou  give  me, 
seeing  I  go  childless,  and  Hhe 
steward  of  my  house  is  this  'E-li- 
e'zer  of  *Da-mas'cus  ? 

3  And  "xA-'bram  said,  Behold,  to 
me  thou  hast  given  no  seed :  and, 
lo,  one  born  in  my  house  is  mine 

•'heir. 

4  And,  behold,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  him,  saying, 
This  shall  not  be  thine  *heir; 
but  ^■'"he  that  shall  come  forth 
out  of  thine  own  bowels  shall  be 
thine  heir. 

5  And  he  brought  him  forth 
abroad,  and  said.  Look  now  to- 


ward heaven,  and  tell  the  stars, 
if  thou  be  able  to  number  them : 
and  he  said  unto  him,  So  shall 
thy  "'"seed  be. 

6  And  he  ^believed  in  the 
Lord;  and  he  ^counted  it  to  him 
for  ^righteousness. 

7  And  he  said  unto  him,  '^I  am 
the  Lord  that  brought  thee  out 
of  ''Ur  of  the  'Chal'dees,  to  give 
thee  this  'land  to  inherit  it. 

8  And  he  "said.  Lord  God, 
"  ""whereby  shall  I  know  that  I 
shall  inherit  it  ? 

9  And  he  said  unto  him.  Take 
me  an  ^heifer  of  three  years  old, 
and  a  she  ^goat  of  three  years 
old,  and  a  ram  of  three  years  old, 
and  a  ^turtledove,  and  a  young 
^pigeon. 

10  And  he  took  unto  him  "all 
these,  and  divided  them  in  the 
midst,  and  laid  each  piece  one 
against  another:  but  the  birds 
divided  he  not. 

11  And  when  the  fowls  came 
down  upon  the  carcases, 
''A'bram  drove  them  away. 

12  And  when  the  sun  was  going 
down,  a  deep  '^sleep  fell  upon 
''A'bram;  and,  lo,  an  horror  of 
great  darkness  fell  upon  him. 

13  And  he  said  unto  ''A'bram, 
Know  of  a  surety  "^that  thy  ^seed 
shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  ''land 
that  is  not  their's,  and  shall  serve 
them ;  and  they  shall  afflict  them 
^four  hundred  years; 

14  And  also  that  ''nation,  whom 
^they  shall  serve,  will  I  'judge: 
and  afterward  shall  they  come 
out  with  great  substance. 

15  And  Hhou  shalt  'go  to  thy 
fathers  in  peace;  thou  shalt  be 
buried  in  a  good  *old  age.

18  In  the  same  day  the  Lord 
made  a  ''covenant  with  "A'bra.m, 
saying.  Unto  thy  seed  have  I 
given  this  *land,  from  the  river 
of  "E'gypt  unto  the  great  river, 
the  river  ^Eu-phra'tes : 

19  The  'K^n'ltes,  and  the  Kgn'-

CHAPTER  16 

Saral  ffives  Hagar  to  Abram;  6  who  fleeing 
from  her  mistress,  7  is  sent  bach  by  an 
angel.     15  Ishmael  is  born. 

NOW  ''Sa'rai  "A'brjim's  wife 
bare  him  no  children; 
and  she  had  an  ''handmaid,  an 
£-gyp'tian,  whose  name  was 
*Ha'gar. 

2  And  "Sa'rai  said  unto 
''A'bram,  Behold  now,  the 
Lord  hath  ''restrained  me  from 
bearing:  I  pray  thee,  go  in  unto 
my  *'''niaid;  it  may  be  that  I 
may  obtain  children  by  her. 
And  A'bram  hearkened  to  the 
voice  of  Sa'rai. 

3  And  "Sa'rai  ^A^brSm's  wife 
took  *Ha'gar  her  ''maid  the 
£-gyp'tian,    after  A'brS.m   had 


dwelt  ten  years  in  the  land  of 
Ca'niian,  and  *gave  her  to  her 
husband  A'brilin  to  be  his 
'wife. 

4  And  he  went  in  unto  *Ha'gar, 
and  she  conceived :  and  when  she 
saw  that  she  had  conceived,  her 
mistress  was  "despised  in  her 
eyes. 

5  ''And  '^Sa'rai  said  unto 
^A'briiu,  ^'^'-^My  wrong  be  upon 
thee:  I  have  given  my  "maid  into 
thy  bosom;  and  when  she  saw 
that  she  had  conceived,  I  was 
despised  in  her  eyes:  the 
'Lord  judge  between  me  and 
thee. 

6  But  "Abram  said  unto  "Sa'- 
rai, Behold,  thy  ''maid  is  in  th}' 
hand;  do  to  her  as  it  pleaseth 
thee.  And  when  '"Sa'rai  ''-"dealt 
hardly  with  her,  she  fled  from 
her  face. 

7  ^  And  the  ^angel  of  the  Lord 
''found  *her  by  a  fountain  of 
water  in  the  wilderness,  by  the 
fountain  in  the  way  to  ^Shur. 

8  And   he  said,  *Ha'gar,  Sa' 
rai's     -maid,     whence     camest 
thou  ?  and  whither  wilt  thou  go  ? 
And  she  said,  I  flee  from  the  face 
of  my  mistress  Sa'rai. 

9  And  the  ^angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  *'''her.  Return  to  thy 
mistress,  and  submit  thyself  un 
der  her  hands. 

10  And  the  ^angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  *her,  I  will  multiply 
thy  seed  exceedingly,  that  it  shall 
not  be  numbered  for  multi- 
tude. 

1 1  And  the  ^angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  *her.  Behold,  thou  art 
with  child,  and  shalt  bear  a  son,

15  The  name  of  Saral  is  changed,  and

7  And  I  will  establish  my  "cove

Every  man  child  among  you 
shall  be  ^circumcised. 

11  And  ye  shall  ^'circumcise 
the  flesh  of  your  foreskin;  and  it 
shall  be  a  ''token  of  the  *cove- 
nant  betwixt  me  and  you. 

12  *And  he  that  is  eight  days 
old  shall  be  ^circumcised  among 
you,  every  man  child  in  your

"money  of  any  stranger,  which 
is  not  of  thy  seed. 

13  'He  that  is  born  in  thy  house, 
and  he  that  is  bought  with  thy 

money,  must  needs  be  'circum-

14  And  the  uncircumcised  man

I  will  l)less  her,  and  she  shall  be 
a  mother  of  nations;  kings  of 
people  shall  be  of  her. 

17  Then  *A'bra-ham  fell  upon 
his  face,  and  laughed,  and  ^said 
in  his  heart.  Shall  a  child  be  born 
unto   him   that   is   an   hundred 


years  old  ?   and  shall    ^Sa'rah, 
that  is  ninety  years  old,  bear  ?

19  And  God  said,  ^Sa'rah  thy

and  thou  shalt  call  his  name 
"I'saac:  and  I  will  establish  my 
'covenant  with  him  for  an  ever- 
lasting covenant,  and  with  his 
^"seed  after  him. 

20  And  as  for  "Ish'ma-el,  I 
have  ''heard  thee:  Behold,  I  have 
blessed  him,  and  will  make  him 
fruitful,  and  will  multiply  hira 
exceedingly;  twelve  princes  shall 
he  beget,  and  I  will  make  him

establish  with  '^I'saac,  which

26  In  the  selfsame  day  was

Ish'ma-el  his  son. 

27  And  all  the  men  of  his 
house,  born  in  the  house,  and

CHAPTER  18 

The  Lord  appears  unto  Abraham.  2  He 
entertains  three  strangers.  9  Sarah  is 
reproved  for  laughing  at  God's  promise. 
17  The  destruction  of  Sodom  is  revealed 
to  Abraham,  23  who  makes  intercession 
for  the  men  thereof. 

AND  the  "Lord  appeared 
unto  "him  4n  the  plains 
of  '^Mam're:  and  he  sat  in  the 
'^tent  door  in  the  heat  of  the  day; 

2  And  he  lift  up  his  eyes  and 
looked,  and,  lo,  three  ^-'men 
stood  by  him :  and  when  he  saw 
them,  he  ran  to  meet  them  from 
the  ''tent  door,  and  *■ ''bowed 
himself  toward  the  ground, 

3  And  said,  My  Lord,  if  now  I 
have  found  favour  in  thy  sight, 

-pass  not  away,  I  pray  thee, 
fiom  thy  servant: 

4  Let  a  little  water,  I  pray  you, 
be  fetched,  and  Vash  your  feet, 
and  rest  yourselves  under  the 
tree: 

5  ''And  I  will  fetch  a  morsel  of 
^bread,  and  comfort  ye  your 
hearts;  after  that  ye  shall  pass 
on :  for  therefore  are  ye  come  to 
your  servant.  And  ''they  said,  So 
do,  as  thou  hast  said. 

6  And  "A'bra-ham  hastened  in- 
to the  tent  unto  ^•'•'"Sa'rah,  and 
said,  ISIake  ready  quickly  three 
"measures  of  fine  meal,  knead  it, 
and  make  'cakes  -upon  the 
hearth.

7  And  *A'br3,-hS,m  ran  unto 
the  herd,  and  fetcht  a  calf  tender 
and  good,  and  gave  it  unto  ^a 
young  man;  and  he  hasted  to 
dress  it. 

8  And  he  took  """butter,  and 
"milk,  and  the  calf  which  he  had 
dressed,  and  set  it  before  them ; 
and  he  stood  by  them  under  the 
tree,  and  they  did  -^eat. 

9  ^  And  they  said  unto  ''him, 
Where  is  ^Sa'rah  thy  ""wife? 
And  he  said.  Behold,  in  the 
''tent. 

10  And  he  said,  I  will  certainl} 
return  unto  thee  according  to 
the  time  of  life;  and,  lo,  ^Sa'rah 
thy  '"wife  shall  have  a  ^son.  And 
Sa'rah  heard  it  in  the  ''tent  door, 
which  was  behind  him. 

11  Now  "A'bra-ham  and  ^'Sa'- 
rah were  old  and  well  stricken  in 
age;  and  it  ceased  to  be  with  Sa'- 
rah after  the  ^manner  of  women. 

12  Therefore  '^Sa'rah  '^laughed 
within  herself,  saying,  'After  I 
am  waxed  old  shall  I  have  pleas- 
ure, my  ''•'lord  being  old  also? 

13  And  the  "Lord  said  unto 
*A'bra-ham,  Wherefore  did 
'^Sa'rah  laugh,  saying,  Shall  I  of 
a  surety  bear  a  child,  which  am 
old? 

14  Is  any  thing  too  hard  for  the 
"Lord  ?  At  the  time  appointed 
I  will  return  unto  thee,  accord- 
ing to  the  time  of  life,  and  Sa'rah 
"'shall  have  a  son. 

15  Then  ^Sa'rah  ''■Hemed, 
saying,  I  laughed  not;  for  she 
was  afraid.  And  he  said,  Nay; 
but  thou  didst  laugh. 

16  1[  And  the  men  rose  up 
from  thence,  and  looked  toward 
^Sod'om:  and  ''A'bra-ham  went 
with  them  to  bring  them  on  the 
way.

17  And  the  Lord  said,  Shall  I 
hide    from    "A'bra-ham    that 

thing  which  I  do ; 

18  Seeing  that  «A'bra-ham 
shall  surely  become  a  great  and 
mighty  nation,  and  ''all  the  "na- 
tions of  the  earth  shall  be 
blessed  in  him  ? 

19  For  I  know  "him,  that  '^•^he 
will  command  his  children  and 
his  'household  after  him,  and 
they  shall  "keep  the  way  of  the 
Lord,  to  do  justice  and  judg- 
ment; that  the  Lord  may  bring 
upon  A'l)ra,-ham  that  which  he 
hath  spoken  of  him. 

20  And  the  ''Lord  said,  Be- 
cause the  cry  of  'S(5d'om  and 
'G6-mor'rah  is  great,  and  be- 
cause *'Hheir  '"sin  is  very  griev- 
ous; 

21 1  will  go  down  now,  and  ''see 
whether  'they  have  done  alto- 
gether according  to  the  cry  of  it, 
which  is  come  unto  me;  and  if 
not,  I  will  know. 

22  And  the  "men  turned  their 
faces  from  thence,  and  went  to- 
ward 'S6d'om:  but  "A'bra-ham 
stood  yet  before  the  Lord. 

23  t  And  '^A'bra-ham  Mrew 
near,  and  ^-'said,  Wilt  thou  also 
^destroy  the  righteous  with  the 
wicked  ? 

24  "Peradventure  there  be  fifty 
righteous  within  the  city:  'wilt 
thou  also  destroy  and  not  spare 
the  place  for  the  fifty  righteous 
that  are  therein  ? 

25  "-'That  be  far  from  thee  to 
lo  after  this  manner,  to  slay  the 

righteous  with  the  wicked:  and 
that  the  righteous  should  be  as 
the  wicked,  that  be  far  from 
thee :  Shall  not  the  ''Judge  of  all 
the  earth  Mo  right  ? 

26  And  the  Lord  said,  If  I  find 
in  'Sod'om  fifty  righteous  within 
the  city,  then  ''I  will  spare  all 
the  place  for  their  "sakes. 


27  And  "A'brS,-hiim  answered 
and  'said.  Behold  now,  "'I  have 
taken  upon  me  to  speak  unto  the 
Lord,  ^-  ^which  am  but  dust  and

28  ^Perad venture  there  shall

"wilt  thou  destroy  all  the  city  for

I  find  there  forty  and  five,  I  will 
not  destroy  it. 

29  And  he  ''spake  unto  him  yet 
again,  and  said,  Peradventure 
there  shall  be  forty  found  there 
And  he  said,  *-'I  will  not  do  it 
for  forty's  "sake. 

30  And  he  "said  unto  him,  ^Oh 
let  not  the  Lord  be  angry,  and  I 
will  speak:  Peradventure  there 
shall  thirty  be  found  there.  And 
he  said,  *•'•"!  will  not  do  it,  if  I 
find  thirty  there. 

31  And  he  ^•"'said.  Behold  now, 
I  have  taken  upon  me  to  speak 
unto  the  Lord:  Peradventure 
there  shall  be  twenty  found 
there.  And  he  said,  *'^I  will  not

32  And  he  "-^said.  Oh  let  not 
the  Lord  be  angry,  and  I  will 
speak  yet  but  this  once:  Perad-

And  he  said,  *''I  will  not  destroy

us,  that  we  may  '"know  them. 

6  And  '^LSt  went  out  at  the  door 
unto  them,  and  shut  the  door 
after  him, 

7  And  said,  I  pray  you,  ^breth- 
ren, do  not  so  wickedly. 

8  Behold  now,  I  have  two 
daughters  which  have  not  known 
man;  let  me,  I  pray  you,  bring 
them  out  unto  you,  and  do  ye  to 
them  as  is  good  in  your  eyes: 
only  unto  ^these  men  do  noth- 
ing; for  therefore  came  they  "un- 
der the  shadow  of  my  roof. 

9  And  they  said,  Stand  back. 
And  they  said  again,  This  one 
fellow  came  in  to  sojourn,  and  he 
will  needs  be  a  judge:  now  will 
we  deal  worse  with  thee,  than 
with  them.  And  they  "pressed 
sore  upon  the  man,  even  '^Lot, 


and    came    near  to  break  the 
door. 

10  But  the  "men  put  forth  their 
hand,  and  pulled  Lot  into  the 
house  to  them,  and  shut  to  the 
door. 

11  And  "they  smote  the  ■'■men 
that  were  at  the  door  of  the  house 
with  "'^blindness,  both  small 
and  great:  so  that  they  wearied 
themselves  to  find  the  door. 

12  j[  'And  the  "men  said  unto 
''Lot,  Hast  thou  here  any  be- 
sides? ^son  in  law,  and  thy 
'^sons,  and  thy  daughters,  and 
whatsoever  thou  hast  in  the  city, 
bring  them  out  of  this  place : 

13  For  we  will  Mestroy  this 
place,  because  the  'cry  of  "them 
is  waxen  great  before  the  face  of 
the  Lord;  and  the  Lord  hath 
sent  us  to  destroy  it. 

14  And  "^LSt  went  out,  and 
spake  unto  his  ^sons  in  law, 
which  married  his  daughters, 
and  said.  Up,  get  you  out  of  "this 
place;  for  the  Lord  will  *de- 
stroy  this  city.  But  he  seemed  as 
one  that  mocked  unto  his  ""sons 
in  law. 

15  T[  And  when  the  morning 
arose,  then  the  "angels  hastened 
•^Lot,  saying.  Arise,  take  thy  wife, 
and  thy  two  daughters,  which 
are  here ;  lest  thou  be  consumed 
in  the  ^•'iniquity  of  the  city. 

16  And  while  he  lingered,  the 
"men  laid  hold  upon  his  hand, 
and  upon  the  hand  of  his  wife, 
and  upon  the  hand  of  his  two 
'daughters;  the  ^Lord  being 
merciful  unto  him:  and  they 
brought  him  forth,  and  set  him 
without  the  city. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  brought  them  forth 
abroad,   that  "he  said.   Escape

for  thy  life;  look  not  behind 
thee,  neither  stay  thou  in  all  the 
plain;  escape  to  the  mountain, 
lest  thou  be  '•'consumed. 

18  Anil  Lot  said  unto  them, 
Oh,  not  so,  my  Lord: 

19  Behold  now,  thy  servant 
hath  found  grace  in  thy  sight, 
and  thou  hast  magnified  ^thy 
mercy,  which  'thou  hast  shewed 
unto  me  in  saving  my  life;  and  I 
cannot  escape  to  the  mountain, 
lest  some  evil  take  me,  and  I  die : 

20  Behold  now,  this  ^city  is 
near  to  flee  unto,  and  it  is  a  little 
one:  Oh,  let  me  escape  thither, 
{is  it  not  a  little  one  ?)  and  my 
soul  shall  live. 

21  And  he  said  unto  him,  See,  I 
have  accepted  thee  concerning 
this  thing  also,  that  I  will  not 
overthrow  this  city,  for  the 
which  thou  ^hast  spoken. 

22  Haste  thee,  escape  thither; 
for  I  cannot  do  any  thing  till 
thou  be  come  thither.  Therefore 
the  name  of  the  city  was  called 
"Zd'ar. 

23  The  sun  was  risen  upon  the 
earth  when  *L6t  entered  into 
"Zo'ar. 

24  Then  the  Lord  '^•'^' ^rained 
upon  ''Sod'om  and  upon  "Go- 
mor'rah  ^brimstone  and  'fire 
from  the  Lord  out  of  heaven : 

25  And  he  ''overthrew  those 
cities,  and  all  the  plain,  and  all 
the  ^inhabitants  of  the  cities, 
and  that  which  grew  upon  the 
ground. 

26  But  his  ^vife  ^looked  back 
from  behind  him,  and  she  be- 
came a  ']ullar  of  "'salt. 

27  And  "A'bra-ham  *gat  up 
early  in  the  morning  to  the  place 
where  he  stood  before  the  Lord: 

28  And  he  looked  toward  'S5d'- 
lom  and  "Go-mor'rah,  and  to- 
Iward  all  the  land  of  the  plain, 


and  beheld,  and,  lo,  the  smoke 
of  the  country  went  up  as  the 
smoke  of  a  furnace. 

29  If  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
God  destroyed  the  cities  of  the 
plain,  that  "God  p- 'remembered 
"A'bra-ham,  and  sent  *L6t  out 
of  the  midst  of  the  overthrow, 
when  he  overthrew  the  cities  in 
the  which  Lot  dwelt. 

30  Tf  And  *L6t  went  up  out  of 
"Zo'ar,  and  dwelt  in  the  moun 
tain,  and  his  two  daughters  with 
him;  for  he  ''feared  to  dwell  in 
Zo'ar:  and  he  dwelt  in  a  cave, 
he  and  his  two  daughters. 

31  And  the  'firstborn  said  unto 
the  younger,  Our  father  is  old, 
and  there  is  not  a  man  in  the 
earth  to  ^come  in  unto  us  aftei 
the  manner  of  all  the  earth: 

32  Come,  let  *us  make  our  fa 
ther  drink  "wine,  and  we  will 
''  ^'lie  with  hirc.  that  we  may  pre- 
serve seed  of  our  father. 

33  And  *they  made  their  ''fa 
ther  drink  "wine  that  night:  and 
the  firstborn  went  in,  and  '^lay 
with  her  father;  and  ""he  per 
ceived  not  when  she  lay  down, 
nor  w^hen  she  arose. 

34  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  'firstborn  said 
unto  the  younger.  Behold,  I  "lay 
yesternight  with  my  father:  let 
us  make  him  "'drink  "wine  this 
night  also;  and  go  thou  in,  and 
lie  with  him,  that  we  may  pre 
serve  seed  of  our  father. 

35  And  *they  made  their  ^father 
"'drink  "wine  that  night  also 
and  the  younger  arose,  and  ^lay 
with  hhn;  and  he  perceived  not 
when  she  lay  down,  nor  when 
she  arose. 

36  Thus  were  both  the  *daugh 
ters  of  *L6t  with  child  by  their 
father.

CHAPTER  20 

Abraham  sojourncth  at  Gerar,  2  and  denies 
Ms  wife.  3  Abimclech  taking  her  is 
reproved  in  a  dream .  9  He  rebukes  Abra- 
ham, 14  restores  Sarah,  16  and  reproves 
her.  17  At  the  intercession  of  Abraham, 
he  is  healed. 

A  ND  "A'bra-ham  journeyed 
-^^  from  thence  toward  the 
south  country,  and  dwelled  be- 
tween ''Ka'desh  and  '"Shur,  and 
sojourned  in  *Ge'rar. 

2  And  '^A'bra-ham  '*,''said  of 
'Sa'rah  his  wife,  She  is  my  sis- 
ter: and  "A-bim'e-lech  king  of 
Ge'riir  sent,  and  took  Sa'rah. 

3  But  "God  came  to  "A-bim'e- 
lech  in  a  Mream  by  night,  and 
said  to  him,  Behold,  thou  art  but 
a  dead  man,  for  the  ^woman 
which  thou  hast  taken;  for  she  is 
a  man's  %ife. 

4  But  "A-bim'e-lech  had  not 
come  near  her:  and  he  said, 
*^Lord,  wilt  thou  slay  also  a 
righteous  ^nation  ? 

5  '^Said  he  not  unto  me.  She  is 
my  sister  ?  and  she,  even  she  her- 
self said,  He  is  my  brother:  in 
the  '"integrity  of  my  heart  ami 
innocency  of  my  hands  have  I 
done  this. 

6  And  God  said  unto  him  in  a 
dream.  Yea,  "I  know  that  thou 

didst  this  in  the  '"integrity  of  thy 
heart;  for  I  also  "withheld  thee 
from  sinning  against  me:  there- 
fore suffered  I  thee  not  to  touch 
her. 


7  Now  therefore  restore  the 
"man  his  'wife;  for  he  is  a 
prophet,  and  he  shall  ^-'pray  for 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  Uve:  and  '^if 
thou  restore  her  not,  know  thou 
that  thou  shalt  surely  flie,  thou, 
and  all  that  are  thine. 

8  Therefore  ^A-bim'e-lech  *rose 
early  in  the  morning,  and  called 
all  his  servants,  and  told  all  these 
things  in  their  ears:  and  the  men 
were  sore  afraid. 

9  Then  ''A-bim'e-lech  called 
"A'bra-ham,  and  said  unto  him, 
'What  hast  thou  done  unto  us  ? 
and  what  have  I  offended  thee, 
that  thou  hast  brought  on  me 
and  on  my  'kingdom  a  great  sin  ? 
thou  hast  done  deeds  unto  me 
that  oaght  not  to  be  done. 

10  And  "A-bim'e-lech  said  unto 
"A'bra-ham,  What  sawest  thou, 
that  thou  hast  done  this  thing  ? 

11  And  "A'bra-ham  said,  "be 
cause  I  "thought,  Surely  the 
"'fear  of  God  is  not  in  this  place ; 
and  they  will  slay  me  for  my 
•^wife's  sake. 

12  And  yet  indeed  she  is  my  sis 
ter;  she  is  the  daughter  of  my  fa 
ther,  but  not  the  daughter  of  my 
mother;  and  she   "became  my 
wife. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
''God  caused  me  to  wander  from 
my  father's  house,  that  I  ''said 
unto  her.  This  is  thy  kindness 
which  thou  shalt  shew  unto  me ; 
at  every  place  whither  we  shall 
come,  *'^say  of  me.  He  is  my 
brother. 

14  And  °A-b!m'e-lech  took 
sheep,  and  oxen,  and  menserv 
ants,  and  womenservants,  and 
^•*gave  them  unto  '^A'bra-ha.m,

the  Lord  did  unto  Sa'rah  as 
he  had  spoken.

a  son  in  his  old  age. 

8  And  the  child  grew,  and  was

a  great  'feast  the  same  day  that 
^i'saac  was  weaned.

"child,  and  sent  her  away:  and 
she  departed,  and  wandered  in 
the  wilderness  of  '^Be'er-she'ba. 

15  *And  the  water  was  spent  in 
the  bottle,  and  she  cast  the 
"child  under  one  of  the  shrubs. 

16  *And  she  went,  and  sat  her 
down  over  against  him  a  good 
way  off,  as  it  were  a  bowshot: 
for  'she  said,  Let  me  not  see  the 
death  of  the  child.  And  she  sat 
over  against  him,  and  lift  up  her 
voice,  and  wept. 

17  And  ''^God  heard  the  voice  of 
the  lad;  and  ihe  angel  of  God 
called  to  "Ha'gar  out  of  heaven, 
and  said  unto  her,  What  aileth 
thee,  Ha'gar  ?  'fear  not;  for  God 
hath  heard  the  voice  of  the  lad 
where  he  is. 

18  'Arise,  lift  up  the  °lad,  and 
hold  him  in  thine  hand;  *for  I 
will  make  ''•''him  a  great  nation. 

19  And  God  opened  her  eyes, 
and  she  saw  a  "well  of  water; 
and  she  went,  and  filled  the 
^bottle  with  water,  and  gave  the 
"lad  drink. 

20  And  '"God  was  with  the 
"^lad;  and  he  grew,  and  dwelt  in 
the  wilderness,  and  became  an 
^archer. 

21  And  he  dwelt  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  ■•■Pa'ran:  and  his  mother 
took  him  a  "wife  out  of  the  land 
ofE'gypt.    ^ 

22  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  at 
that  time,  that  ^A-bim'e-lech 
and  'Phi'chol  the  chief  ''captain 
of  his  host  spake  unto  ^A'brS.- 
ham,  *saying,  '"•'God  is  with 
thee  in  all  that  thou  doest: 

23  "Now  therefore  "swear  unto 
me  here  by  God  that  thou  wilt 


not  deal  falsely  with  me,  nor 
with  my  son,  nor  with  my  son's 
son:  hut  according  to  the  kind 
ness  that  I  have  done  unto  thee, 
thou  shalt  do  unto  me,  and  to 
the  land  wherein  thou  hast  so- 
journed. 

24  And  A'br3,-ha,m  said,  I  will 
"swear. 

25  And  A'bra-ha.m  reproved 
^A-bim'e-lech  because  of  a 
"•"'well  of  water,  which  A-bim'e 

lech's   ^servants  had   ^violently 
^taken  away. 

26  And  '^A-bim'e-lech  said,  I 
wot  not  who  hath  done  this 
thing:  neither  didst  thou  tell  me, 
neither  yet  heard  I  oj  it,  but  to 
day. 

27  And  "A'bra-h^-m  took  "sheep 
and  oxen,  and  gave  them  unto 
'^A-bim'e-l6ch ;  and  both  of  them 
made  a  ''covenant. 

28  And  ''A'bra-ham  set  ^seven 
ewe  lambs  of  the  flock  by  them 
selves. 

29  And  "A-bTm'e-lech  said  unto 
''A'brS.-ham,  What  mean  these 
^seven  ewe  lambs  which  thou 
hast  set  by  themselves  ? 

30  And  "he  said.  For  these  ^sev 
en  ewe  lambs  shalt  "thou  take  of 
my  hand,  that  they  may  be  a 
''witness  unto  me,  that  I  have 
digged  this  "well. 

31  Wherefore  he  called  that 
place  'Be'er-she'ba ;  because 
there  they  "sware  both  of  them

AND  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  °God 
did  ^' ''tempt  ^A'brS.-hAm,  and 
''said  unto  him,  A'bni-ham:  and 
he  said,  Behold,  here  I  am. 

2  And  he  said,  *Take  now  thy 
son,  thine  only  son  ^I'saac, 
whom  thou  lovest,  and  get  thee 
into  the  land  of  ^M6-rI'ah;  and 
offer  *him  there  for  a  burnt  *of- 
fering  upon  one  of  the  ^'  '^moun-

3  And  '^•'A'bra-ham  ""rose  up 
early  in  the  morning,  and  sad- 
dled his  "ass,  and  took  two  of 
his  "young  men  with  him,  and 
'I'saac  his  son,  and  clave  the 
wood  for  the  burnt  'offering,  and 
rose  up,  and  went  unto  the  place 
of  which  God  had  told  him. 

4  Then  on  the  third  day  '^A'bra- 
ham  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw 
the  place  afar  off. 

5  And  '^A'brS-ham  said  unto  his 
"young  men.  Abide  ye  here  with 
the  "ass;  and  I  and  the  ''lad  will 
go  yonder  and  ^worship,  and 
come  again  to  you. 


6  And  ^■'A'bra-ham  took  the 
wood  of  the  burnt  'offering,  and 
laid  it  upon  ''P.saac  his  son;  and

My  father:  and  he  said.  Here  am 
I,  my  son.  And  he  said.  Behold

hani  went  and  took  the  ram, 
and  offered  him  up  for  a  burnt 
offering  ^in  the  stead  of  his 
son. 

14  And  A'bra-ham  called  the 
name  of  that  place  ^Je-ho'vah-

In  the  moimt  of  the  Lord  it 
shall  be  \seen. 

15  If  And  the  'angel  of  the 
Lord  called  unto  A'bra-ha,m 
out  of  heaven  the  second  time. 

16  And  said,  ^By  myself  have  I 
"•''sworn,  saith  the  Lord,  for 
'^because  thou  hast  done  this 
thing,  and  hast  '^not  withlield 
thy  *son,  thine  only  son :

''thee,  and  in  multiplying  I  will 
multiply  thy  ^'''seed  as  the  stars 
of  the  heaven,  and  as  the  sand 
which  is  upon  the  sea  shore;  and 
thy  *seed  shall  possess  the  gate

19  So  "A'bra-ham  returned  un- 
to his  young  men,  and  they  rose 
up  and  went  together  to  "Be'er-

unto  liim, 

6  Hear  u.s,  my  lord:  thou  art  a

choice  of  our  ^sepulchres  'bury 
thy  dead;  'none  of  us  sliall  with- 
hold from  thee  his  sepulchre,  but 
that  thou  mayest  bury  thy  dead. 

7  And  *A'br3.-ham  stood  up, 
and  '"bowed  himself  to  the  peo- 
ple of  the  lantl,  even  to  the  Y'hil- 
dren  of  Heth. 

8  And  he  communed  with 
them,  sajnng.  If  it  be  in  your 
mind  that  I  should  'bury  my 
deatl  out  of  my  sight;  hear  me, 
and  intreat  for  me  to  ■'E'phron 
the  son  of  "Zo'hiir, 

9  That  he  may  give  me  the 
"•^cave  of  "M3,ch-pe'lah,  which 
he  hath,  which  is  in  the  end  of 
his  field ;  for  as  much  'money  as 
it  is  worth  he  shall  give  it  me  for 
a  possession  of  a  ^buryingplace 
amongst  you. 

10  And  ^E'phron  dwelt  among 
the  'children  of  Heth:  and 
E'phron  the  Hit'tlte  answered 
^A'brii-ham  in  the  audience  of 
the  chiklren  of  Heth,  even  of  all 
that  went  in  at  the  ""gate  of  his 
city,  saying, 

11  Nay,  my  lord,  hear  me:  'the 
''field  give  1  thee,  and  the  "cave 
that  is  therein,  I  give  it  thee;  *in 
the  presence  of  the  sons  of  my

dead. 

12  And  A'bra-ham  '"bowed 
down  himself  before  the  people

I  13  And  he  spake  unto  ^E'phron 
in  the  audience  of  the  people  of 
the  land,  saying,  But  if  tliou  tvilf 
(jive  it,  I  pray  thee,  hear  me:  I 
will  give  thee  ''money  for  the 
''field;  take  it  of  me,  and  I  will 
bury  my  dead  there. 

14  And  ^E'phron  answered 
'A'bra-hSm,  saying  unto  him, 


15  My  lord,  hearken  unto  me: 
the  ''land  is  worth  four  hundred 
'shekels  of  ''silver;  what  is  that 
betwi.xt  me  and  thee  ?  bury 
therefore  thy  dead, 

16  And  A'brS,-ham  hearkened 
unto  •^E'phron;  and  A'bra-ha.m 
weighed  to  E'phron  the  "silver, 
which  he  had  named  in  the  audi- 
ence of  the  sons  of  Heth,  four 
hundred  shekels  of  silver,  cur- 
rent ^nioney  with  the  "mer- 
chant. 

17  And  the  "'field  of  ^E'phron, 
which  was  in  "M3.ch-pe'lah, 
which  was  before  ^M3.m're,  the 
field,  and  the  cave  which  was 
therein,  and  all  the  trees  that

my  thigh : 

3  And  I  will  make  ''•^thee 
^swear  by  the  Lord,  the  ''God  of 
heaven,  and  the  God  of  the 
earth,  that  thou  shalt  not  ''take 

Hvife  unto  my  son  of  the 
daughters  of  the  'Ca'naan-Ites, 
among  whom  I  dwell : 

4  But  '^•^thou  shalt  go  unto 
my  country,  and  to  my  kindred, 
and  take  a  *wife  unto  my  son 
^Psaac. 

5  And  the  '^' ^servant  said  unto 
him,  Peradventure  the  woman 
will  not  be  wilHng  to  follow  me 
unto  this  land:  must  I  needs 
bring  thy  ^'son  again  unto  the 
land  from  whence  thou  camest  ? 

6  And  '^A'bra-ham  said  unto 
him.  Beware  thou  that  thou 
bring  not  my  *son  thither  again. 

7  The  Lord  ^God  of  heaven 
which  took  me  from  my  father's 
house,  and  from  the  land  of  my 
kindred,  and  which  spake  unto 
me,  and  that  'sware  unto  me, 
sajing,  Unto  thy  seed  will  I  give 
this  '"land;  "he  shall  send  his 
"angel  before  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  *take  a  *wife  unto  my  son 
from  thence. 

8  And  if  the  woman  will  not  be 
willing  to  follow  thee,  then  thou 
shalt  be  clear  from  this  my 
^oath:  only  bring  not  my  son 
thither  again. 

9  And  the  ''•^servant  put  his 
hand  under  the  thigh  of  "A'br^- 
ham  his  master,  and  ''sware  to 
him  concerning  that  matter. 

10  t  And  the  '^•''servant  took 
ten  ^camels  of  the  camels  of  his 
master,  and  departed ;  for  all  the 
goods  of  his  master  were  in  his 
hand :  and  he  arose,  and  went  to 


*Mes-o-p6-ta'mi-a,  unto  the  city 
of  «Na'h6r. 

1 1  And  he  made  his  ^camels  to 
kneel  down  without  the  city  by  a 
well  of  water  at  the  time  of  the 
evening,  e-ye^i  the  time  that 
''women  go  out  to  draw  wafer. 

12  And  ''he  'said,  O  Lord  God 
of  my  master  '^A'brS.-hS.m,  I  pray 
thee,  'send  me  good  speed  this 
day,  and  "shew  kindness  unto 
my  master  A'brS,-hS,m. 

13  *Behold,  I  stand  here  by  the 
well  of  water;  and  the  daugh-

out  to  draw  water.

pointed for  thy  servant  ^Psaac;

destitute  my  master  of  'his  mercy

lets upon  his  sister's  hands,  and 
when  he  heard  the  words  of  ^Re-,

spake  the  "man  unto  me;  that  he 
came  unto  the  man;  and,  be-

will  send  his  'angel  with  thee,

comest  to  my  kindred:  and  if 
they  give  not  thee  mie,  thou  shalt 
be  clear  from  my  oath. 

42  And  I  came  this  day  unto 
the  well,  and  "said,  O  Lord 
God  of  my  master  "^A'bra-ham, 
if  now  thou  do  '"prosper  my  way 
which  I  go: 

43  Behold,  I  stand  by  the  well 
of  water;  and  it  shall  come  to

eth  forth  to  draw  water,  and  I 
say  to  her.  Give  me,  I  pray  thee, 
a  little  water  of  thy  pitcher  to

44  And  she  say  to  me.  Both 
drink  thou,  and  I  will  also  draw 
for  thy  camels:  let  the  same  be 
the  woman  whom  the  Lord 
hath  appointed  out  for  my  mas-

45  And  before  I  had  done 
''speaking  in  mine  heart,  behold, 
^Re-bek'ah  came  forth  with  her 
pitcher  on  her  shoulder;  and  she 
went  down  unto  the  well,  and 
drew  water :  and  I  said  unto  her, 
Let  me  drink,  I  pray  thee. 

46  And  'she  made  haste,  and 
let  down  her  pitcher  from  her 
shoulder,  and  said.  Drink,  and 
I  will  give  thy  'camels  drink  al- 
so:  so  I  drank,  and  she  made  the 
camels  drink  also. 

47  And  I  asked  her,  and  said, 
Whose  daughter  art  thou  ?  And 
she  said.  The  daughter  of  ^Beth- 
u'el,  ''Na'hor's  son,  whom  *Mt1'- 


cah  bare  unto  him :  and  I  put  the 
^•'earring  upon  her  ^face,  and 
the  "  bracelets  upon  her  hands.

blessed  the  Lord  God  of  my

"led  me  in  the  right  way  to  take

me;  and  if  not,  tell  me;  that  I 
may  turn  to  the  right  hand,  or 
to  the  left.

let  her  be  thy  master's  son's

Cod  instructs  and  blesses  him.  7  He  is 
reproved  Og  Ahlmelech  for  dcnglng  Ms

Ablmelech  makes  a  covenant  with  him  at 
Beer-shcba.     34  Esau's  wives. 

AND  there  was  a  "famine  in 
the  land,  beside  the  first 
famine  that  was  in  the  days 
of  *A'bra-hS,m.  And  "^P.saac 
went  unto  A-bim'e-l&ch  king  of 
the   *Ph!-lis'ti'nes  unto  ''Ge'riir. 

2  And  the  ^Lord  appeared  un- 
to him,  and  said,  Go  not  down 
into  'E'gypt;  dwell  in  the  "land 
which  I  shall  tell  thee  of: 

3  ''Sojourn  in  this  "land,  and  ''I 
will  be  with  thee,  and  will  l)less 
thee;  for  unto  thee,  and  unto  thy 
'■^seed,  I  will  give  all  these  coun- 
tries, and  I  will  ^perform  the 
'^•'oath  which  I  sware  unto

4  And  '^I  will  make  '"thy  *'seed

en, and  will  "give  unto  thy  seed 
all  these  "countries;  and  in  thy 
^seed  shall  all  the  "nations  of  the 
earth  be  blessed; 

5  Because  that  *A'bra-h3,m 
''obeyed  my  voice,  and  kept  my 
charge,  my  commandments,  my 
statutes,  and  my  laws. 

6  T[  And  '^I'.saac  dwelt  in 
'^Ge'rar: 

7  And  the  men  of  the  place 
asked  "him  of  his  '^wife;  and  "he 
'•"•"said,  She  is  my  sister:  for  he 
"'feared  to  say.  She  is  my  wife; 
lest,  said  he,  the  men  of  the  place 
should  kill  me  for  ^Re-bek'ah; 
because  she  was  ^fair  to  look 
upon. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
had  been  there  a  long  time,  that 
A-bim'e-lech  king  of  the  *Phi- 
lis'tlnes  looked  out  at  a  ^window, 
and  saw,  and,  behold,  Fsaac 
was  sporting  with  ^Re-bSk'ah 
his  wife. 

9  And  A-bim'e-lech  calle( 
"I'saac,  and  said.  Behold,  of  i 
surety  *she  is  thy  ''wife:  and 
how  "^'^saidst  thou.  She  is  my 
sister  ?  And  I'saac  said  unto 
him,  'Because  I  said,  Lest  I  die 
for  her. 

10  And  ""A-bim'e-lgch  said.

us  ?  one  of  the  people  might 
lightly  have  lien  with  thy  ''wife,

11  And  A-btm'e-lech  ''charged 
all  his  people,  saying.  He  that 
toucheth  this  '^inan  or  his  ''wife

12  Then  "I'saac  'sowed  in  that

15  For  all  the  "wells  which  his 
father's  "servants  had  digged  in 
the  days  of  ^A'bra-ham  his  fa- 
ther, the  *Phi-hs'tTnes  had 
stopped  them,  and  filled  them 
with  earth. 

16  And  A-bim'e-lech  said  unto 
"I'saac,  Go  from  us;  for  thou  art 
much  mightier  than  we< 

17  Tf  And  "Psaac  departed 
thence,  and  pitched  his  tent  in 
the  valley  of  *Ge'rar,  and  dwelt 
there. 

18  And  Fsaac  digged  again  the 
""  '^wells  of  water,  which  they  had 
digged  in  the  days  of  ^A'bra- 
hS,m  his  father;  for  the  *Phi-

the  death  of  A'bra-hfi,m :  and  he 
called  their  names  after  the 
names  by  which  his  father  had 
called     them. 

19  And  "I'saac's  "servants 
digged  in  the  valley,  and  found 
there  a  "well  of  springing  water. 

20  And  the  herdmen  of  *Ge'- 
rar  did  "strive  with  Fsaac's  herd- 
men,  saying.  The  water  is  ours : 
and  he  called  the  name  of  the 
well  -E'sSk;  because  they  strove 
with  him. 

21  And  they  digged  another 
"well,  and  ^strove  for  that  also: 
and  he  called  the  name  of  it 
^Sit'nah. 

22  And  "''he  removed  from 
thence,  and  digged  another 
"well;  and  for  that  they  'strove 
not:  and  he  called  the  name  of  it 
^Rg-ho'both;  and  he  "said,  For 
now  the  Lord  hath  made  room 
for  us,  and  we  shall  be  fruitful 
in  the  Land. 


23  And  he  went  up  from 
thence  to  ''Be'er-she'ba. 

24  And  the  Lord  appeared  un- 
to him  the  same  night,  and  said, 
I  am  the  God  of  A'bra-h5.m  thy 
father:  *"fear  not,  for  'I  am  witii 
^thee,  and  will  bless  thee,  and 
multiply  thy  seed  for  my  servant 
A'bra-ham's  sake. 

25  And  he  builded  an  ^altar 
there,  and  "called  upon  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  and  pitched  his 
''tent  there:  and  there  "Pgaac's 
"^servants  digged  a  ^Well. 

26  1[  Then"A-bim'e-lech  went 
to  '"him  from  'Ge'riir,  and 
A-hiiz'zath  one  of  his  friends, 
and  ^Phi'chol  the  chief  captain 
of  his  army 

27  And  ^I'saac  said  unto  them. 
Wherefore  come  ye  to  me,  seeing 
ye  ''hate  me,  and  have  sent  me 
away  from  you  ? 

28  And  they  'said.  We  saw  cer- 
tainly that  the  Lord  was  with 
thee :  and  we  said,  Let  there  be 
now  an  'oath  betwixt  us,  even 
betwixt  us  and  thee,  and  let  us 
make  a  *• 'covenant  with  thee 

29  "'That  thou  wilt  do  us  no

thee,  and  as  we  have  done  unto

not  a  ^blessing. 

13  And  his  ''•Mother  said  unto 
him,  ^Upon  me  be  thy  "curse, 
my  son :  only  obey  my  voice,  and 
s:o  fetch  me  them. 

14  And  ''^he  went,  and  fetched, 
and  brought  them  to  his  mother: 
and  his  ''•'mother  made  savoury 
"meat,  such  as  his  father  loved. 

15  And  ''•'Re-bek'ah  took  good- 
ly raiment  of  her  eldest  son 
•^E'sau,  which  were  with  her  in 
the  house,  and  put  them  upon 
^Ja'cob  her  younger  son: 

16  And  ''•'she  put  the  skins  of 
the  kids  of  the  '"goats  upon  his 
hands,  and  upon  the  smooth  of 
his  neck: 

17  And  she  *gave  the  savoury 
"meat  and  the  'bread,  which  she 
had  prepared  into  the  hand  of 
her  son  ^Ja'cob. 

18  II  And  ^he  came  unto  his 
"father,  and  said.  My  father: 
and  he  saitl.  Here  am  I ;  who  art 
thou,  my  son  ? 

19  And  ^Ja'cob  '"■'•'said  unto 
his  father,  I  am  E'sau  thy  "first- 
born; I  have  done  according  as 
thou  badest  me:  arise,  I  pray 
thee,  sit  and  eat  of  my  venison, 
that  "thy  soul  may  bless  me. 

20  And  "Psaac  said  unto  his 
^son,  How  is  it  that  thou  hast 
found  it  so  quickly,  my  son  ? 
And  he  ''•'•'said,  Because  the 
Lord  thy  God  '■'brought  it  to 
me. 

21  And  "Fsaac  said  unto  ^Ja'- 
cob,  Come  near,  I  pray  thee, 
that  I  may  feel  thee,  my  son, 
whether  thou  be  my  very  son 
E'sau  or  not. 

22  And  ^Ja'cob  went  near  unto 
I'§aac  his  father;  and  he  felt 
him,  and  said,  The  voice  is  Ja'- 


cob's  voice,  but  the  hands  are 
the  hands  of  E'sau. 

23  And  he  discerned  him  not, 
because  his  hands  were  hairy,  as 
his  brother  E'sau's  hands:  so 
"he  "blessed  him. 

24  And  he  said.  Art  thou  my 
very  son  E'sau?  And  ^he 
''■'•'said,  I  am. 

25  And  he  said.  Bring  if  near 
to  me,  and  I  will  eat  of  my  son's 
venison,  "that  my  soul  may  bless 
thee.  And  he  brought  it  near  to 
him,  and  he  did  eat:  and  he 
brought  him  "'wine,  and  he 
drank. 

26  And  his  ^father  I'.saac  said 
unto  him.  Come  near  now,  and 
^kiss  me,  my  son. 

27  And  he  came  near,  and 
^kissed  him:  and  he  smelled 
the  smell  of  his  raiment,  and 
"blessed  ^him,  and  said,  See,  the 
smell  of  my  son  is  as  the  smell  of 
a  field  which  the  Lord  hath 
blessed : 

28  Therefore  *'•  ^God  give  "thee 
of  the  ''dew  of  heaven,  and  the 
•^fatness  of  the  earth,  and  plenty 
of  corn  and  wine : 

29  ''Let  people  serve  "thee,  and 
nations  bow  down  to  thee:  be 
lord  over  thy  brethren,  and  let 
thy  mother's  sons  bow  down  to 
thee:  ^cursed  be  every  one  that 
curseth  thee,  and  blessed  be  he 
that  blesseth  thee. 

30  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  ^I'.saac  had  made  an  end 
of  "blessing  '•'Ja'cob,  and  Ja'cob 
was  yet  scarce  gone  out  from  the 
presence  of  Fgaac  his  father, 
that  ''E'sau  his  brother  came  in 
from  his  *hunting.

his  father,  and  said  unto  his  fa-

unto  him,  Who  art  thou  ?  And 
he  said,  I  am  thy  son,  thy  'first-

have  eaten  of  all  before  thou 
camest,  and  have  ^blessed  him  ? 
yea,  and  he  shall  be  blessed. 

34  And  when  ''E'sau  heard  the 
words  of  his  father,  he  cried  with 
a  great  and  exceeding  bitter  cry, 
and  said  unto  his  father,  "Bless 
me,  even  me  also,  O  my  father.

he  took  away  %iy  'birthright; 
and,  behold,  now  he  hath  taken 
away  my  blessing.  And  he  said, 
Hast  thou  not  reserved  a  "bless- 
ing for  me  ? 

37  And  'I'.saac  answered  and 
said  unto  "E'sau,  Behold,  »I 
have  made  him  thy  lord,  and  all 
his  brethren  have  I  given  to  him 
for  servants;  and  with  corn  and

38  And  ''E'sau  said  unto  his

lifted  up  his  voice,  and  '"wept.

swered and  said  unto  him,  "Be-

'•"slay  my  brother  Ja'cob.

to  the  house  of  "Beth-u'el  thy 
'mother's  father;  and  ^take  thee 
a  %ife  from  thence  of  the  daugh- 
ters of  ^La'ban  thy  mother's 
brother. 

3  And  "^'^God  Almighty  bless 
thee,  and  make  thee  'fruitful, 
and  multiply  thee,  that  thou 
mayest  be  a  multitude  of  people; 

4  ^And  give  thee  the  '"blessing 
of  "A'bra-ha,m,  to  thee,  and  to 
thy  seed  with  thee;  that  thou 
mayest  inherit  the  "land  wherein 
thou  art  a  stranger  which  God 
irave  unto  A'bra,-h3,m. 

5  And  I'saac  sent  away  Ja'- 
cob :  and  he  went  to  *Pa'dan-a'- 
ram  unto  '^La'ban,  son  of  ''Beth- 
u'el  the  'Syr-i'an,  the  brother  of 
'Re-bek'ah,  Ja'cob's  and  ^E'sau's 
mother. 

6  T[  When  ^E'sau  saw  that 
"I'-saac  had  '^blessed  *Ja'cob, 
and  sent  him  away  to  *Pa'dan- 
a'ram,  to  take  him  a  'wife  from 
thence;  and  that  as  he  blessed 
him  he  gave  him  a  charge,  say- 
ing, Thou  shalt  not  take  a  wife 
of  the  ''daughters  of  Ca'nSan ; 

7  And  that  "Ja'cob  obeyed  his 
father  and  his  mother,  and  was 
gone  to  *Pa'dan-a'ram; 

8  And  ^E'sau  seeing  that  the 
"daughters  of  Ca'naan  pleased 
not  "I'.saac  his  father; 

9  Then  went  ^E'sau  unto  *Ish'- 
ma-el,  and  '^took  unto  the  wives 
which  he  had  *Ma'ha-lath  the 
daughter  of  Ish'ma-el  A'brS,- 
ham's  son,  the  sister  of  'Ne-ba'- 
joth,  to  be  his  wife. 

10  T[  And  Ja'cob  went  out 
from  "Be'er-she'ba,  and  went 
toward  ''Ha'ran. 

1 1  And  ''he  lighted  upon  a  cer- 
tain "place,  and  tarried  there  all 
niglit,  because  the  sun  was  set; 


and  he  took  of  the  stones  of  that 
place,  and  put  them  for  his  pil- 
lows, and  lay  down  in  that  place 
to  sleep. 

12  And  *he  ^-Mreamed,  and 
behold  a  ladder  set  up  on  the 
earth,  and  the  top  of  it  reached 
to  heaven:  and  behold  the  ^an- 
gels of  God  ascending  and 
descending  on  it. 

13  And,  behold,  the  Lord 
"stood  above  it,  and  "said,  1  am 
the  Lord  God  of  ''A'bra-ham 
thy  father,  and  the  God  of 
'^I'.saac:  the  *land  whereon  thou 
liest,  to  'thee  will  I  "give  it,  and 
to  thy  seed ; 

14  And  thy  *seed  shall  be  as  the 
dust  of  the  earth,  and  thou  shalt 
spread  abroad  to  the  west,  and 
to  the  east,  and  to  the  north,  and 
to  the  south :  and  in  thee  and  in 
thy  *seed  shall  all  the  'families 
of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

15  And,  behold,  I  am  with 
^thee,  and  will  'keep  thee  in  all 
places  whither  thou  goest,  and 
will  bring  thee  again  into  this 
'land;  for  '"I  will  not  leave  thee, 
until  I  have  done  tJiat  which  I 
have  spoken  to  thee  of. 

16  Tf  And  ''Ja'cob  awaked  out 
of  his  sleep,  and  he  said.  Surely 
the  "Lord  is  in  this  place;  and 
I  knew  it  not. 

17  And   he  was   "afraid,   and 
said,  How  dreadful  is  this  place 
this  is  none  other  but  the  house 
of  God,  and  this  is  the  ^gate  of 
heaven. 

18  And  ''Ja'cob  'rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  took  the 
'^stone  that  he  had  put  for  his 
pillows,  and  set  it  up  for  a  ■^pil 
lar,  and  *poured  'oil  upon  the 
top  of  it.

CHAPTER  29 

.Jacob  comes  to  the  well  of  Haran.  9  He 
meets  Rachel;  13  and  Is  entertained  by 
I.ahnn.  18  He  covenants  for  Rachel,  23 
but  is  deceived  with  Leah.  28  He  marries 
Riichrl  also,  and  serves  lor  her  seven  years 
more.  32  Leah  bears  Reuben.  S3  Simeon, 
34  Levi,  35  and  Juilah. 

THEN  "Ja'cob   went    on    his 
journey,  and  came  into  the 
and  of  the  people  of  the  east. 

2  And  he  looked,  and  behold  a 
'well  in  the  field,  and,  lo,  there 
ivcre  three  flocks  of  ''sheep  lying 
by  it;  for  out  of  that  well  "they 
watered  the  flocks:  and  a  great 
stone  was  upon  the  well's  mouth. 

3  And  thither  were  all  the 
flocks  gathered :  and  "they  rolled 
the  stone  from  the  "well's  mouth, 
and  watered  the  ^sheep,  and  put 
the  stone  again  upon  the  well's 
mouth  in  his  place. 

4  And  "Ja'cob  said  unto  them, 
My  brethren,  whence  be  ye  ? 
And  they  said,  Of  ^Ha'ran  arc 
we. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  Know 
ye  ^La'ban  the  son  of  "Na'hor  ? 
and  they   said,  We  know  him. 


6  And  °he  said  unto  them,  Is 
^he  well  ?  And  they  said.  He  is 
well:  and,  behold, '*Ha'chel  his 
daughter  cometh  with  the 
sheep, 

7  And  "he  said,  Lo,  it  is  yet 
high  day,  neither  w  it  time  that 
the  cattle  should  be  gathered  to- 
gether: water  ye  the  ''sheep,  and 
go  and  feed  them. 

8  And  they  said,  We  cannot, 
until  all  the  flocks  be  gathered 
together,  and  till  they  roll  the 
stone  from  the  "well's  mouth; 
then  we  water  the  sheep. 

9  ^  And  while  he  yet  spake  with 
them,  *Ha'chel  came  with  her 
father's  sheep:  for  ''she  kept 
them. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"  Ja'cob  saw  *Ra'chel  the  daugh- 
ter of  'La'ban  his  ^mother's 
brother,  and  the  sheep  of  La'ban 
his  mother's  brother,  that  Ja'cob 
went  near,  and  rolled  the  stone 
from  the  well's  mouth,  and  wa- 
tered the  Hock  of  La'ban  his 
mother's  brother. 

11  And  Ma'cob  'kissed  *Ra 
chel,  and  lifted  up  his  voice,  and 
wept. 

12  And  "Ja'cob  told  *Ra'chel 
that  he  was  her  'father's  brother, 
and  that  he  was  'Re-b6k'ah's 
son:  and  she  ran  and  told  her 
father. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'La'ban  heard  the  tidings  of 
"Ja'cob  his  'sister's  son,  that  he 
ran  to  meet  him,  .Qnd  embraced 
him,  and  'kissed  him,  and 
^brought  him  to  his  house.  And 
he  told  La'ban  all  these  things.

15  T[  And  La'ban  said  unto 
"Ja'cob,  Because  thou  art  my 
brother,  shouldest  thou  there- 
fore serve  me  for  nought  ?  tell 
me,  what  shall  "'thy"  wages  he? 

16  And  La'ban  had  two 
daughters :  the  name  of  the  elder 
was  ^Le'ah,  and  the  name  of  the 
younger  was  *Ra'chel. 

17  ^Le'ah  was  tender  eyed ;  but 
*Ra'chel  was  "beautiful  and  Avell 
favoured. 

18  And  '^Ja'cob  loved  *Ra'- 
ehel ;  and  said,  I  will  '"serve  thee 
^seven  years  *for  Ra'chel  thy

19  And  La'ban  said,  It  is  bet- 
ter that  I  '■give  her  to  thee  than 
that  1  should  give  her  to  another 
man:  abide  with  me. 

20  And  "Ja'cob  served  ^sevcn 
years  'for  *Ra'chel;  and  they 
seemed  unto  him  hut  a  few  days, 
for  the  love  he  had  to  her. 

21  T[  And  "Ja'cob  said  unto 
'La'ban,  Give  me  my  '"wife, 
for  my  days  are  fulfilled,  that  I 
may  go  in  unto  her. 

22  And  La'ban  gathered  to- 
gether all  the  men  of  the  place, 
and  made  a  *'feast. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
evening,  that  he  "'•^took  ^Le'ah 
his  daughter,  and  'brought  her 
to  him;  and  he  went  in  unto  her. 

24  And  La'ban  gave  unto  his

^maid  jot  an  handmaid. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in 
the    morning,    behold,    it    was 

^Le'ah:  and  "he  said  to  ^La'ban, 
What  is  this  thou  hast  done  unto 


me  ?  did  not  1  serve  with  thee  for 
*Ra'chel  ?  wherefore  then  hast 
thou  *^beguiled  me  ? 

26  And  *La'ban  said.  It  must 
not  be  so  done  in  our  country,  to 
give  the  younger  before  the

28  And  "Ja'cob  did  so,  and  ful 
filled  her  week :  and  he  gave  him

31  If  And  when  the  Lord  saw 
that  ^Le'ah  was  '•"'hated,  he 
opened  her  womb :  but  *Ra'chel 
was  "barren. 

32  And  ^Le'ah  conceived,  and 
bare  a  son,  and  she  called  his

given  them  to  me.

time  that  the  ^cattle  '"conceived, 
that  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and 
saw  in  a  '^dream,  and,  behold, 
the  ^rams  which  leaped  upon  the 
^cattle  were  ringstraked,  spec 
kled,  and  grisled.

12  And  he  said.  Lift  up  now 
thine  eyes,  and  see,  all  the  ^rams 
which  leap  upon  the  ^cattle  are 
ringstraked,  speckled,  and  gris 
led:  for  I  have  seen  all  that 
'^La'ban  doeth  unto  thee. 

13  I  am,  the  God  of  ^Beth'el, 
where  thou  ''anointedst  the  '^pil

thee  out  from  this  land,  and  re- 
turn unto  the  land  of  thy

14  And  '-'Ra'chel  and  "-'Le'ah 
answered  and  said  unto  him,  Is 
there  yet  any  portion  or  "inheri- 
tance for  us  in  our  father's 
house  ? 

15  Are  we  not  counted  of  him 
strangers  ?  for  he  hath  sold  us, 
and  hath  quite  devoured  also 
our  "money. 

16  For  all  the  "'riches  which 
God  hath  taken  from  our  father, 
that  is  our's,  and  our  children's: 
now  then,  whatsoever  God  hath 
said  unto  thee,  do. 

17  Tl  Then  Ja'cob  rose  up,  and 
set  his  sons  and  his  wives  upon 

camels ; 

18  And  he  carried  away  all  his 
cattle,  and  all  his  goods  which  he 
had  gotten,  the  cattle  of  his  get- 
ting, which  he  had  gotten  in 
^Pa'dan-a'ram,  for  to  go  to 
^I'.saac  his  father  in  the  land  of 
'^Ca'n§,an. 

19  And  *La'ban  went  to  shear 
his  '^sheep:  and  "^-^Ra'chel  had 
'stolen  the  "■''images  that  were 
her  father's. 

20  And  *Ja'cob  stole  away  un- 
awares to  ^La'ban  the  Syr'i-an, 
in  that  he  told  him  not  that  he 
fled. 

21  So  he  fled  with  all  that  he 
had;  and  he  rose  up,  and  passed 
over  the  'river,  and  set  his  face 
toward  the  mount  ''^Gtl'e-ad. 

22  And  it  was  told  "La'ban  on 
the  third  day  that  'Ja'cob  was 
fled. 

23  And  he  took  his  brethren 
with  him,  and  pursued  after  him 
seven  days'  journey;  and  they 
overtook    him    in    the    mount 

Gil'e-ad. 

24  And  'God  came  to  *La'ban 
the  Syr'i-an  in  a  '"dream  by 
night,  and  said  unto  him.  Take 
heed  that  thou  speak  not  to 
'Ja'cob  either  good  or  bad. 

25  ^  Then  "La'ban  overtook 
'Ja'cob.  Now  Ja'cob  had 
pitched  his  "tent  in  the  mount: 


and  La'ban  with  his  brethren 
pitched  in  the  mount  of  *GiI'- 
e-ad. 

26  And  *La'ban  said  to  'Ja'cob, 
What  hast  thou  done,  that  thou 
hast  stolen  away  unawares  to 
me,  and  carried  away  my  daugh 
ters,  as  captives  taken  with  the 
sword  ? 

27  Wherefore  didst  thou  flee 
away  secretly  and  steal  away 
from  me;  and  didst  not  tell  me, 
that  I  might  have  sent  thee  away 
with  mirth,  and  with  "songs, 
with  tabret,  and  with  ^harp  ? 

28  And  hast  not  suffered  me  to 
*kiss  my  sons  and  my  daugh 
ters  ?  thou  hast  now  done  fool 
ishly  in  so  doing. 

29  It  is  in  the  power  of  my 
hand  to  do  you  hurt:  'but  the 
God  of  your  father  spake  unto 
me  yesternight,  saying.  Take 
thou  heed  that  thou  speak  not  to 
'Ja'cob  either  good  or  bad. 

30  And    now,    though    thou 
wouldest  needs  be  gone,  because 
thou  sore  longedst  after  thy  fa 
ther's  house,  yet  wherefore  hast 
thou  'stolen  my  "•''gods  ? 

31  And  'Ja'cob  answered  and 
said  to  ^La'ban,  Because  1  was 
'afraid :  for  I  said,  Peradventure 
thou  wouldest  take  by  force  thy 
daughters  from  me. 

32  With  whomsoever  thou  find- 
est  thy  "■''gods,  let  him  not  live 
before  our  brethren  discern  thou 
what  is  thine  with  me,  and  take 
it  to  thee.  For  Ma'cob  knew 
not  that  ''Ra'chel  had  'stolen 
them. 

33  And  ^La'ban  went  into  *Ja'- 
cob's  "tent,  and  into  '-"Le'ah's 
tent,  and  into  the  two  "maid- 
servants' tents;  but  he  found 
them  not.  Then  went  he  out  of 
Le'ah's  tent,  and  entered  into 
Ra'chel's  tent. 

34  Now  '^Ra'chel  had  taken  the 
"■''images,  and  put  them  in  the 
"'camel's  furniture,  and  sat  upon

Let  it  not  displease  my  lord  that

Ja'cob  answered  and  said  to 
La'ban,  \Yhat  is  my  trespass  ? 
what  is  my  sin,  that  thou  hast  so 
hotly  pursued  after  me  ? 

37  Whereas  thou  hast  searched 
all  my  stuff,  what  hast  thou 
found  of  all  thy  household  stuff  ? 
set  it  here  before  my  brethren 
and  thy  brethren,  that  they  may 
''judge  betwi.xt  us  both. 

38  This  twenty  years  have  '^•'1 
hern  with  thee;  thy  ewes  and  thy 
she  goats  have  not  cast  their 
young,  and  the  rams  of  thy  flock 
have  I  not  eaten. 

39  That  which  was  torn  of 
beasts  I  brought  not  unto  thee;  I 

jare  the  loss  of  it  ;  of  my  hand 
Midst  thou  require  it,  whether 
stolen  by  day,  or  stolen  by  night. 

40  Thus  I  was;  in  the  day  the 
drought  consumed  me,  and  the 

frost  by  night;  and  my  sleep  de- 
parted from  mine  eyes. 

41  TIuis  have  ''1  l)ccn  twenty 
years  in  thy  house;  I  served  thee 
fourteen  years  "''for  thy  two 
daughters,  and  si.x  years  for  thy 
■cattle:  and  thou  hast  changed 
my    wages  ten  times. 

42  'E.xcept  the  Hlod  of  my  fa- 
ther, the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  and 
the  fear  of  I'.^aac,  had  been  with 
me,  surely  thou  hadst  sent  me 
away  now  empty.  God  hatli  seen 
mine  'affliction  and  the  labour 
of  my  hands,  and  rebuked  thee 
yesternight.

these  'children  are  my  children, 
and  these  -cattle  arc  my  ^cattle,

44  Now  therefore  come  tiiou, 
let  us  make  a  '"covenant,  I  and 
thou;  and  let  it  be  for  a  witness

and  set  it  up  for  a,  "jHllar. 

40  And  ''Ja'cob  said  unto  his 
brethren,  Gather  "stones;  and 
they  took  stones,  and  made  an

upon  the  heap. 

47  And  '^La'ban  called  it  'Je'-

called  it  "Care-ed.

was  the  name  of  it  called

16  And  "he  deb'vered  ihem  into 
the  hand  of  his  ^servants,  every 
drove  by  themselves;  and  said 
unto  his  servants.  Pass  over  be- 
fore me,  and  put  a  space  be- 
twixt drove  and  drove. 

17  And  he  commanded  the 
foremost,  saying.  When  ''E'sau 
my  brother  meeteth  thee,  and 
asketh  thee,  saying,  Whose  art 
thou?  and  whither  goest  thou? 
and  whose  arc  these  before  thee  ? 

IS  ''Then  thou  shalt  say,  Theij 
be  thy  servant  "Ja'cob's;  it  is  a 
•'^present  sent  unto  my  lord 
''E'sau:  and,  behold,  also  he  w 
behind  us. 

19  And  so  commanded  he  the 
second,  and  the  third,  and  all 
that  followed  the  droves,  saying, 
On  this  manner  shall  ye  speak 
unto  '^E'sau,  when  ye  find  him. 

20  And  say  ye  moreover,  Be- 
hold, thy  servant  "Ja'cob  is-  be- 
lind  us.  For  he  said,  '^I  will  ap- 
pease him  with  the  ■'■jM-esent  that 
goeth  before  me,  and  afterward 
I  will  see  his  face;  peradventure 
he  will  accept  of  me. 

21  So  went  the  ■'^present  over 
)efore  him:  and  himself  lodged 

that  night  in  the  company. 

22  And  he  rose  up  that  night, 
and  took  his  two  wives,  and  his 
two  ^vomenservants,  and  hi.s 
eleven  sons,  and  passed  over  the 

ord  "Mab'bok. 

23  And  he  took  them,  and  sent 
them  over  the  brook,  and  sent 
over  that  he  had. 

24  1[  And  Ja'cob  was  left 
alone;  and  there  ^wrestled  a 
man  with  him  until  the  break- 
ing of  the  day. 


25  And  when  he  saw  that  he  gee foftnoVe^  w 


prevailed    not   against    him,    he 
touched  the  hollow  of  his  thigh ; 
and     the     hollow     of     Ja'cob's 
thigh   was  'out  of  joint,   as   h 
■^wrestled  with  him. 

26  And  he  said.  Let  me  go,  for 
the  day  breaketh.  And  he  ^said, 
'I  will  not  let  thee  go,  except 
thou  bless  me. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him,  What 
is  thy  '^name  ?  And  he  said, 
"Ja'cob. 

28  And  he  said.  Thy  "name 
shall  l)e  called  no  more  *Ja'cob, 
but  "I.s'ra-el:  foi  -as  a  prince 
hast  thou  '^power  with  God  and 
with  men,  and  hast  prevailed. 

29  And  ''Ja'cob  asked  hirn,  and 
said,  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  thy 
name.  And  he  said.  Wherefore 
is  it  ihat  thou  dost  ask  after  my 
name  ?  And  he  '^blessed  him 
there. 

30  And  *Ja'cob  called  the  name 
of  the  place  *Pe-nT'el:  for  I 
have  seen  '(jod  face  to  face,  and 
my  life  is  preserved. 

31  And  as  he  pas.sed  over  *Pe 
nu'el  the  sun  rose  upon  him,  and 
he  halted  ujxtn  his  thigh. 

32  Therefore  the  children  of 
IsVa-el  eat  not  of  the  sinew 
^which  shrank,  which  is  upon 
the  hollow  of  the  thigh,  unto  this 
day:  because  he  touched  the  hol-

thou  by  all  this  drove  which  I

to  find  grace  in  the  sight  of  my

9  And  "E'sau  said,  n  have 
enough,  my  brother;  keep  that 
thou  hast  unto  thyself. 

10  And  ''Ja'cob  said,  Nay,  I 
pray  thee,  if  now  I  have  found 
grace  in  thy  sight,  then  receive 
my  "^p resent  at  my  hand:  *for 
therefore  I  have  seen  thy  face,

him,  and  he  took  it. 

12  And  he  said.  Let  us  take  our 
journey,  and  let  us  go,  and  I  will 
go  before  thee. 

13  And  "he  said  unto  *him,  JNIy

are  tender,  and  the  flocks  and 
herds  with  young  are  with  me: 
and  *if  men  should  overdrive 
them  one  day,  all  the  flock  will

14  Let  my  lord,  I  pray  thee, 
pass  over  before  his  servant :  and 
I  will  lead  on  softly,  according 
as  the  cattle  that  goeth  before  me

of  "Ha'mor  the  '^Hl'vlte,  prince 
of  the  country,  saw  her,  he  took 
her,  and  ''"'lay  with  her,  and  Me- 
filed  her. 

3  And  his  soul  clave  unto^Di'- 
nah  the  daughter  of  '^  Ja'cob,  and 

he  loved  the  damsel,  and  sj)ake 
"kindly  unto  the  damsel. 

4  And  "^Slie'chem  spake  unto 
his  father  Ha'mor,  saying.  Get 
me  this  damsel  to  ^-  ^wife. 

5  .\nd   '^.Ta'cob  heard  thai  he 


had  defiled  "Dl'nah  his  daugh- 
ter: now  his  sons  were  with  his 
cattle  in  the  field:  and  Ja'cob 
''held  his  peace  until  they  were 
come. 

6  Tl  And  Ha'mor  the  father  of 
*She''chem  went  out  unto  '^Ja' 
cob  to  commune  with  him. 

7  And  the  sons  of  Ja'cob  came 
out  of  the  field  when  they  heard 
it:  and  the  men  were  grieved, 
and  they  were  very  'wroth,  be- 
cause he  had  wrought  folly  in 
Is'ra-el  in  *• 'lying  with  Ja'cob's 
daughter;  which  thing  ought  not 
to  be  done. 

8  And  Ha'mor  communed 
with  them,  saying,  The  soul  of 
my  son  "She'chem  longeth  for 
your  daughter:  I  pray  you  give 
'her  him  to  ''•  ^wife. 

9  And  make  ye  ^marriages  with 
us,  and  give  your  daughters 
unto  us,  and  take  our  daughters 
unto  you. 

10  And  ye  shall  dwell  with  us: 
and  the  land  shall  be  before  you; 
dwell  and  trade  ye  therein,  and 
get  you  possessions  therein. 

11  And  She'chem  said  unto 
her  father  and  unto  her  breth- 
ren, Let  me  find  grace  in  your 
eyes,  and  what  ye  shall  say  unto 
me  I  will  give.

but  give  me  the  "••'damsel  to 
^'  ^vife. 

13  And  the  sons  of  '^Ja'cob  an- 
swered *She'cheni  and  "Ha'- 
mor  his  father  ^deceitfully,  and 
said,  because  he  had  defiled 
"Dl'nah  their  sister: 

14  And  they  said  unto  them, 
^Ve  cannot  do  this  thing,  to  give 
our  sister  to  one  that  is  uncir- 
cumciscd;  for  that  ivcre  a  re- 
proach unto  us: 

15  But  in  this  will  we  consent 
unto  you:  '^If  ye  will  be  as  we  he, 
that  every  male  of  you  be  ^cir- 
cumcised ; 

16  ^'"'Then  will  we  give  our 
daughters  unto  you,  and  we  will 
take  your  daughters  to  us,  and 
we  will  dwell  with  you,  and  we 
will  become  one  people. 

17  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken 
unto  us,  to  be  'circumcised;  then 
will  we  take  our  daughter,  and 
we  will  be  gone. 

18  And    their   words    pleased 
Ha'mor,  and   *She'chem  Ha'- 

mor's  son. 

19  And  the  young  man  deferred 
not  to  do  the  thing,  because  he 
had  delight  in  '"Ja'cob's  "daugh- 
ter :  and  he  was  more  honourable 
than  all  the  house  of  his  father. 

20  And  "Ha'mor  and  *She'- 
chem  his  son  came  unto  the 
"gate  of  their  city,  and  com- 
muned with  the  men  of  their 
city,  saying, 

21  These  men  are  peaceable 
with  us ;  therefore  let  them  dwell 
in  the  land,  and  trade  therein; 
for  the  land,  behold,  it  is  large 
enough  for  them;  let  us  ^take 
their  daughters  to  us  for  wives, 
and  let  us  give  them  our  daugh- 
ters. 

22  Onlv  herein  will  the  men 


consent  unto  us  for  to  dwell  with 
us,  to  be  one  people,  if  every 
male  among  us  be  'circumcised, 
as  they  are  circumcised. 

23  Shall  not  their  cattle  and 
their  substance  and  every  beast 
of  their's  be  our's  ?  only  let  us 
consent  unto  them,  and  they  will 
dwell  with  us. 
2-1  And  unto  "Ha'mor  and  unto 
"She'chem  his  son  hearkened  all 
that  went  out  of  the  ''gate  of  his 
city;  and  every  male  was  'cir- 
cumcised, all  that  went  out  of 
the  gate  of  his  city. 

25  Tl  And  it  came  to  pass  on  tlu 
third  day,  when  they  were  sore 
that  two  of  the  sons  of  '^Ja'cob, 
"Sim'e-on  and  ^'Le'vi,  Di'nah's 
brethren,  took  each  man  hi 
^sword,  and  came  upon  the  city 
^boldly,  and  ''•^slew  all  the  males. 

26  And  they  ''•'slew  "Ha'mor 
and  She'chem  his  son  with  the 
edge  of  the  ^sword,  and  took 
Dl'nah  out  of  She'chem's  house, 
and  went  out. 

27  The  sons  of  Ja'cob  came  up- 
on the  slain,  and  'spoiled  the 
city,  because  they  had  ^-Mefiled 
their  sister. 

28  They  took  their  'sheep,  and 
their  oxen,  and  their  asses,  and 
that  which  tvas  in  the  city,  and 
that  which  was  in  the  field. 

20  And  all  their  wealth,  and  all 
their  little  ones,  and  their  wives 
took  they  captive,  and  'spoiled 
even  all  that  was  in  the  house 

30  And  ^Ja'cob  said  to  "Sim'e- 
on  and  ''Le'vl,  Ye  have  troubled 
me  to  make  me  to  stink  among 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
among  the  "Ca'naan-Itcs  and  the 
"Per'iz-zites :  and  I  bcwg  few  in

''Beth'el,  and  dwell  there:  and 
'^■''niake  there  an  ''altar  unto 
God,  that  appeared  unto  thee 
when  thou  fleddest  from  the  face 
of  ^E'sau  tliy  brother. 

2  Then  ''Ja'cob  said  unto  his 
household,  and  to  all  that  were 
with  him,  ^Put  away  the  strange 
''gods  that  are  among  you,  and 
^■'■■'be  clean,  and  change  your 
garments : 

3  And  let  ^us  arise,  and  go  up 
to  ^Beth'el;  and  ^I  will  make 
there  an  ''altar  unto  God,  '"who 
answered  me  in  the  day  of  my 
distress,  and  was  with  me  in  the 
way  which  I  went. 

4  And  they  gave  unto  ''Ja'cob 
all  the  strange  '^gods  which  were 
in  their  hand,  and  all  their  "■  ''ear- 
rings which  were  in  their  ears ; 
and  Ja'cob  hid  them  under  the 

■   oak  which  was  by'^She'chem. 

5  And  they  journeyed :  and  the 
terror  of  God  was  upon  the 
cities  that  were  r xmd  about 
them,  and  they  did  not  pursue 
after  the  sons  of  "Ja'cob. 

6  If  So  ''Ja'cob  came  to  Lfiz, 
whicii  i.s'  in  the  land  t.f  ''Ca'niian, 
that  is;  ''Beth'el,  he,  and  all  the 
people  that  were  with  him. 

7  And  he  built  there  an  ''altar, 
and  called  flic  ))lacc  ^El-beth'- 
el:  because  there  God  a))j)eared 
unto  him,  when  he  fle(l  from  the 
face  of  his  brother. 

8  But  '•Dcb'o-rah  ^Re-bek'ah's 
'nurse  died,  and  she  was  l)Uried 


beneath     *Beth'el      "under     an 
oak:  and  the  name  of  it  was 
called  Urion-bach'uth. 

9  Tf  And  ^'God  appeared  unto 
'^ Ja'cob  again,  when  he  came 
out  of  '"Pii'dan-a-'ram,  and 
^blessed  him. 

10  And  God  said  unto  him. 
Thy  ^name  is  Ja'cob :  thy  name 
shall  not  be  called  any  more  Ja'- 
cob, but  ^Is'ra-el  sliall  be  thy 
name:  antl  he  called  his  name

11  And  God  said  unto  him,  I 
am.  ^-"God  Almighty:  be  fruitful 
and  multiply;  a  "nation  and  a 
company  of  nations  shall  be  of 
thee,  and  kings  shall  come  out  of

12  And  the  ''land  which  I  gave 
''A'bra-ham  and  ''Psaac,  to  thee 
I  will  give  it,  and  to  thy  seed 
after  thee  will  I  give  the  land 

13  And  God  \\'ent  up  from  him 
in  the  place  where  he  ''talked 
with  him. 

14  And  ^^ Ja'cob  set  up  a  ''pillar 
in  the  place  where  he  talked  with 
him,  even  a  pillar  of  stone:  and 
he  poured  a  drink  ^offering  there 
on,  and  he  'poured  *oil  thereon 

15  And  ''Ja'cob  called  the  name 
of  the  place  where  God  ''spake 
with  him,  ^Beth'el. 

16  Tf  And  they  journeyed  from 
'Beth'el:    and   there  was  but  a 
little  way  to  come  to  '"Eph'rath: 
and  '^Ra'chel  travailed,  and  sh 
had  hard  labour. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"she  was  in  hard  labour,  that  the 
^midwife  said  unto  her.  Fear  not ; 
thou  shalt  have  this  son  also. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  "her

CHAPTER  37 

Joseph  is  hated  of  his  brethren.  .5  His  two 
dreams.  13  .lacob  sends  him  to  visit  his 
brethren.  18  His  brethren  conspire  to 
slat/  him.  21  Reuben  saves  him.  26 
They  sell  him  to  the  Ishmaelites.  31  His 
father,  deceived  by  Vie  bloody  coat,  mourns 
lor  him.  36  He  is  sold  to  Potlphar  in 
Egv<. 

AND  "JaVob  dwelt  in  the 
land  wherein  his  father 
was  a  stranger,  in  the  land 
of    Ca'naan. 


2  These  are  the  generations  of 
"Ja'cob.  ''Jo'.seph,  bcuig  seven- 
teen years  old,  was  feeding  the 
flock  with  his  brethren,  and  the 
lad  was  with  the  sons  of  '^Bil'- 
hah,  and  with  the  sons  of  ''Zil'- 
pah,  his  father's  -wives,  and  Jd'- 
seph  'brought  unto  his  father 
their  evil  report. 

3  Now  ''■"I.s'ra-el  loved  "Jo'- 
.seph  ''more  than  ;dl  his  'children, 
l)ecause  he  was  the  son  of  iiis  old 
age:  and  he  made  him  'a  coat  of 
many  colours. 

+  And  when  his  brethren  saw 
that  their  '^•"father  loved  him 
''■'more  than  all  his  brethren, 
they  ^  '^'•'hatetl  him,  and  could 
not  speak  |)eaeeably  unto  him. 

6  t  And  "Jo'.seph  dreamed  a 
'"dream,  and  he  told  if  his  breth- 
ren: and  they  diated  hiin  yet  the 
more. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them,  ITear, 
1  pray  you,  this  '"dream  which  I 
have  dreamed: 

7  For,  behold,  we  were  binding 
sheaves  in  the  field,  and,  lo  my 
sheaf  arose,  and  also  stood  up 
right;  and,  behold,  your  sheaves 
stood  round  about,  and  made 
obeisance  to  my  sheaf. 

8  And  his  brethren  said  to  him, 
Shalt  thou  indeed  reign  over  us  ? 
or  shalt  thou  indeed  have  do- 
minion over  us  ?  And  they 
'*• 'hated  him  yet  the  more  for 
li  i  s  '"dreams,  and  for  his 
words. 

9  And  he  dreamed  yet  another 
"'dream,  and  told  it  his  brethren, 
and  said.  Behold,  I  have 
dreamed  a  dream  more;  and, 
behold,  the  "sun  and  the  "moon

10  .Vnd  he  told  it  to  his  father, 
ami  to  liis  brethren:  and  his  fa- 
ther rebuked  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  What  is  this  '"dream  that 
thou  hast  dreamed  ?  Shall  I  and 
thy  mother  and  thy  brethren  in- 
deed come  to  ''bow  down  our- 
selves to  thee  to  the  earth  ? 

11  And  his  brethren  ^'envied 
him;  but  his  "-"father  observed 
the  sayiniv. 

12  Tf  And  his  brethren  went  to 
feed  their  father's  flock  in  ^She'- 
chem. 

13  And  "I.s'ra-el  said  unto  Mo'- 
§eph.  Do  not  thy  brethren  feed 
the  flock  in  '^She'chem  ?  come, 
and  I  will  send  thee  unto  them. 
And  he  said  to  him,  Here  (Dn  I. 

14  And  he  said  to  him,  Go,  I 
pray  thee,  see  whether  it  be  well 
with  thy  brethren,  and  well  with 
the  flocks:  and  bring  me  word 
again.  So  he  sent  him  out  of  the 
vale  of  ^Ile'bron,  and  he  came  to 
'She'chem. 

15  And  a  certain  man  found 
him,  and,  behold,  Jte  was  wan- 
dering in  the  field;  and  the  man 
asked  him,  saying.  What  seekest 
thou? 

16  And  he  said,  I  seek  my 
brethren:  tell  me,  I  pray  thee, 
where  they  feed  their  jhcks. 

17  And  the  man  said,  They  are 
departed  hence;  for  I  heard 
them  say.  Let  us  goto  'Do'than. 
And  ''.lo'seph  went  after  his 
brethren  and  found  them  in 
Dd'than. 

18  Tf  And  when  they  saw  him 
afar  off,  even  before  he  came 
near  unto  them,  they  "'^^'con- 
spired  against  him  to  slay  him. 


19  And  they  said  one  to  an- 
other, Behold,  this  dreamer 
Cometh. 

20  "Come  now  therefore,  and 
'■^  'let  us  slay  him,  and  cast  him 
uito  some  pit,  and  we  will  "say. 
Some  evil  beast  hath  devoured 
him :  and  we  shall  see  what  will 
become  of  his  '"dreams. 

21  And  '"■  ^Reii'ben  heard  it, 
and  he  delivered  him  out  of  their 
hands;  and  ^said,  Let  us  not 
kill  him. 

22  And  «'•  ^Reii'ben  ^^said  unto 
them,  Shed  no  blood,  hut  cast 
him  into  this  j)it  that  is  in  the 
wilderness,  and  lay  no  hand  uj)- 
on  him;  that  he  might  rid  him 
out  of  their  hands,  to  deliver  him 
to  his  father  again. 

23  T[  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jo'seph  was  come  unto  his 
brethren,  that  they  stript  Jo'- 
seph out  of  his  coat,  his  coat  of 
many  colours  that  luas  on  him; 

24  And  they  took  him,  and 
^cast  him  into  a  pit:  and  the  pit 
was  empty,  tJiere  was  no  water 
in  it. 

25  And  they  sat  down  to  eat

26  And  •'•Ju'dah  ^said  unto  his

slay  our  '•  ^brother,  and  conceal 
his  blood  ?

he  'slew  him  also. 

11  Then  said  Mu'dah  to  "Tfi'- 
mar  his  daughter  in  hi  w,  Remain 
a  wi(K)W  at  tiiy  father's  house, 
till  ^She'lah  my  son  be  grown, 
for  he  said,  Lest  perad venture  he 
die  also,  as  his  hn^thren  (/id. 
And  Ta'mar  Avent  and  dwelt  in 
her  father's  house. 

12  Tf  And  in  process  of  time  the 
daughter  of  '^Shii'ah  "Ju'dah's 
wife  died;  and  Ju'dah  was  com- 
forted, and  went  up  unto  his 
sheepshearers  to  Tim'nath,  he 
and  his  friend  Hi'rali  the  A-duI'- 
lam-Ite. 

13  And  it  was  told  "Ta'mar, 
saying,  Behold  thy  "father  in  law 
goeth  up  to  Tim'nath  to  shear 
his  ''sheep. 

14  And  "'she  put  her  Widow's 
garments  off  from  her,  and  cov- 
red     her    with     a     ^'ail,     and 

wrapi^ed  herself,  and  sat  in  'an 
open  place,  which  is  by  the  way 
to  Tim'nath;  for  she  saw  that 
^She'lah  was  grown,  and  she 
was  not  given  imto  him  to  wife. 

15  When  "Ju'dah  saw  her,  he 
thought  her  to  be  an  '"harlot;  be- 
cause she  had  covered  her  face. 

16  And  "he  turned  unto  her  by 
the  way,  and  said.  Go  to,  I  pray 
thee,  "let  me  come  in  unto  thee; 
(for  he  knew  not  that  she  was  his 

laughter  in  law.)  And  "she 
said,  What  wilt  thou  give  me, 
that  thou  mayest  come  in  unto 
me  ? 

17  And  he  said,  I  will  send  /l/rf 
a  kid  from  the  flock.  And  she 
.said.  Wilt  thou  give  mc  a 
"pledge,  till  thou  send  it  f 

18  And  he  saifl,  What  "pledge 
shall  I  give  thee  ?   And  she  said, 

Thy  ^signet,  and  thy  bracelets, 
and   thy  staff  that  is  in   thine 


19  And  "she  arose,  antl  went 
away,  and  laid  by  her  ^^ail  from 
her,  and  put  on  the  'garments  of 
her  'widowhood. 

20  And  Ma'dah  sent  the  kid  by 
the  hand  of  his  friend  the  A-dul'- 
lam-Ite,  to  receive  his  "pledge 
from  the  woman's  hand:  but  he 
found  her  not. 

21  Then  he  asked  the  men  of 
that  place,  saying.  Where  is  the 
'"harlot,  th.at  ^vas  openly  by  the 
way  side  ?  And  they  said,  There 
was  no  harlot  in  this  place. 

22  And  he  returned  to  "Ju'dah, 
and  said,  I  cannot  find  her;  and 
also  the  men  of  the  place  said, 
that  there  was  no  '"harlot  in  this 
place. 

23  And  "Ju'dah  said,  Let  her 
take  it  to  her,  lest  we  be  shamed : 
behold,  I  sent  this  kid,  and  thou 
hast  not  found  her. 

24  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
three  months  after,  that  it  was 
told  "Ju'dah,  saying,  "Ta'mar 
thy  daughter  in  law  hath  'Splayed 
the  "'harlot;  and  also,  behold, 
she  is  with  child  I)y  whoredom. 
x\nd  '"Ju'dah  said.  Bring  her 
forth,  and  *let  her  be  '"Inirnt. 

25  When  'she  was  brought 
forth,  she  sent  to  her  father  in 
law,  saying.  By  the  man,  whose 
these  are,  am  I  with  child:  an( 
she  said.  Discern,  I  pray  thee, 
whose  are  these,  the  ''signet,  and 
^bracelets,  and  staff. 

26  And  "Ju'dah  acknowledged 
fhrm,  and  'said,  She  hath  been 
more  righteous  than  I;  because 
that  I  gave  her  not  to  '''She'lah

CHAPTER  39 

Joseph,  advanced  in  Pottphar's  house,  7 
resists  his  tnlstress's  temptation.  13  He 
is  fdscli/  accused,  20  and  cast  into  prison. 
21  God  Is  with  him. 

ND  "Jo'scph  was  brought 
down  to  ''E'gvpt;  and  ''Pot'- 
i-phar,  an  officer  of  '^Pha'- 
radh,  captain  of  the  guard, 
an  E-gyp'tian,  bought  him  of 
the  hands  of  the  *Ish'rae-el-rtes, 
which  had  brought  him  down 
thither. 

2  And  the  ^■-'Lord  was  with 
"Jo'i^eph,  and  he  was  a  prosper- 
ous man;  and  ^he  was  in  the 
house  of  his  '^master  the  !E-gyp'- 
tian. 

3  And  his  ''master  saw  that  the 
'^'^LoRD  tens  wilh  him  and  that 
the  I./ORD  made  all  that  he  did 
to  ''prosper  in  his  hand. 

4  And  '^Jo'.scpli  found  grace  in 
his  sight,  and  ''he  served  him: 
and  he  'made  him  overseer  over 
his  house,  and  all  that  he  had  he 
put  into  his  hand. 

5  .\.nd  it  came  to  pass  from  the 
time  iJiat  he  had  'made  him  over- 
seer in  his  house,  and  over  all 
that  he  had,  that  the  "^Lord 
blessed  the  E-gyp'tian's  house 
'for  Jo'seph's  sake;  and  the 
''blessing  of  the  Lord  was  upon 


all  that  he  had  in  the  house,  and 
in  the  field. 

6  And  he  left  all  that  he  had  in 
"  Jo'.seph'shand ;and  he knewnot 
ought  he  had,  save  the  bread 
which  he  did  eat.  And  Jo'.seph 
was  a  ^goodly  person,  and  well 
favoured. 

7  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  his  '^master's 
'•"'wife  cast  her  eyes  upon  "Jo'- 
seph ;  and  she  "said.  Lie  with  me. 

8  But  "he  ^•'^•'■' 'refused,  and 
said  unto  his  master's  wife,  Be- 
hold, my  master  Svotteth  not 
what  is  with  me  in  the  house, 
and  he  hath  committed  all  that 
he  hath  to  my  hand; 

9  There  is  none  greater  in  this 
house  than  I;  neither  hath  he 
kept  back  any  thing  from,  me 
but  thee,  because  thou  art  his 
wife:  'how  then  can  I  do  this 
great  wickedness,  and  sin 
against  God  ? 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
'•"'she  spake  to  "Jo'seph  day  by 
day,  that  he  *•''•  "hearkened  not 
unto  her,  to  lie  by  her,  or  to  be 
with  her. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
this  time,  that  Jo'seph  went  into 
the  house  to  do  his  business;  and 
there  was  none  of  the  men  of  the 
house  there  within. 

12  And  '"'she  caught  him  by 
his  P'arment,  saving,  "I>ie  with 
me:  and  '■•"•"he  left  his  garment 
in  her  hand,  and  fled,  and  got 
him  out. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  saw  that  he  had  left  his  gar- 
ment in  her  hand,  and  was  fled 
forth,

^dream  to  ^o'seph,  and  said  to 
him,  In  my  dream,  behold,  a 
vine  wa.s  before  me; 

10  And  in  the  vine  were  three 
branches:  and  it  was  as  though 
it  budded,  and  her  blossoms  shot 
forth;  and  the  clusters  thereof 
brought  forth  ripe  grapes : 

11  And  ^Pha'raoh's  cup  tvas  in 
my  hand :  and  "I  took  the  grapes, 
and  pressed  them  into  Pha'- 
raoh's  cup,  and  1  gave  the  cup 
into  Pha'raoh's  hand, 

12  And  'Jo'seph  said  unto  him, 
This  is  the  ''interpretation  of  it: 
The  three  branches  are  three 
days : 

13  Yet  within  three  days  shall 
''Pha'raoh  lifv.  up  thine  head,  and 
restore  thee  unto  thy  place:  and 
thou  shalt  deliver  Pha'raoh's  cup 
into  his  hand,  after  the  former 
manner  when  thou  wast  his 
"butler. 

14  But  think  on  me  when  it 
shall  be  well  with  thee,  and  shew 
kindness  I  pray  thee,  unto  me, 
and  "'make  mention  of  me  unto 
Pha'raoh,  and  bring  me  out  of 
this  house: 

15  For  indeed  ^I  was  stolen 
away  out  of  the  "land  of  the 
^Ile'brews:  and  here  also  "have 
1  done  nothing  that  ^they  should 
put  me  into  the  dungeon. 

16  When  the  chief  '^baker  saw 
that  the  interpretation  was 
good,  he  said  unto  'Jo'scph,  I 
also  was  in  my  ^dream,  and,  be- 
hold, ^I  had  three  white  *bas- 
kets  on  my  head : 

17  And  in  the  uppermost  ''bas- 
ket there  was  of  all  manner  of 
bakemeats  for  Pha'raoh;  and  the 
Hjirds  did  eat  them  out  of  the 
basket  upon  my  head. 

18  And  'Jo'.seph  answered  and 
said,  This  is  the  *interpretation 


thereof:  The  three  *  baskets  arc 
three  days: 

19  Yet  within  three  days  shall 
'^Pha'raoh  lift  up  thy  head  from 
off  thee,  and  shall  ^'liang  thee 
on  a  tree;  and  the  '^birds  shall  eat 
thy  flesh  from  off  thee. 

20  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
third  day,  which  was  Pha'raoh's 
"^birthday,  that  he  made  a  "feast 
unto  all  his  servants:  and  he 
lifted  up  the  head  of  the  chief 
butler  and  of  the  chief  baker 
among  his  servants. 

21  And  he  restored  the  chief 
butler  unto  his  butlership 
again ;  and  he  gave  the  cup  unto 
Pha'raoh's  hand: 

22  But  he  *•'• ''hanged  the  chief 
baker:  as  'Jo'.seph  had   *inter 
preted  to  them. 

23  Yet  did  not  the  chief  "'butler 
remember  'Jo'seph,  but  ^forgat 
him.

on one  stalk,  ^ranlc  and  good. 

6  And,  behold,  seven  thin  ears 
and  bhistetl  witli  the  east  ''wind 
sprung  up  after  them. 

7  And  the  "^seven  tliin  ears  de- 
voured the  seven  ^rank  and  full 
ears.  And  "Pha'raoh  awoke, 
and,  behold,  it  was  a  Mream. 

S  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning  tiiat  his  spirit  was  trou- 
bled; and  he  sent  and  called  for 
all  the  ^'^'^magicians  of  *E'gypt, 
and  all  the  wise  men  thereof: 
and  Pha'raoh  told  them  his 
dream;  but  tJierc  was  none  that 
could  interpret  them  unto  Pha'- 
I'aoh. 

9  ^  Then  *spake  the  chief  *but- 
ler  unto  ''Pha'raoh,  saying,  'I  do 
i-emember  my  faults  this  day: 

10  "Pha'raoh  was  'wroth  with 
his  servants,  and  'jnit  me  in 
ward  in  the  captain  of  the 
guard's  house,  both  me  and  the 
chief  baker: 

11  And  we  dreamed  a  ''dream 
in    one    night,    I    r.nd    he;    we 

reamed  each  man  according 
to  tlie  interpretation  of  his 
dream. 

12  ''And  there  was  thei-e  with 
us  a  young  man,  an  '"He'brew, 
"servant  to  the  cajjtain  of  the 
uuard;  and  we  told  him,  and  he 
"interpreted  to  us  our  dreams;  to 
each  man  according  to  his  dream

13  ''And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
interpreted  to  us,  so  it  was;  me 
he  restored  unto  mine  ofhce,  and 
him  he  '^  ''hanged. 

14  ^  Then  '^Pha'radh  sent  and 
ailed       Mo'seph,       and       tliev 


Mungeon;  and  he  shaved  him-

and  came  in  unto  Pha'raoh. 

15  And  ''Pha'radh  said  unto 
'^Jo'.sej)h,  1  have  dreamed  a

can  "interpret  it:  and  I  have 
heard  say  of  thee,  that  thou  canst 
understand  a  dream  to  inter- 
pret it.

"Pha'raoh,  saying,  '^It  is  not  in 
me:  God  shall  give  Pha'raoh  an 
answer  of  peace.

out  of  the  river  ''seven  kine,  fat-

they  fed  in  a  meadow:

this  unto  the  ^"magicians;  but 
there  was  none  that  could  "de- 
clare it  to  me. 

25  \  And  '^' " Jo'seph  said  unto 
"Pha'raoh,  The  Mream  of  Pha'- 
raoh  is  one:  ''God  hath  shewed 
Pha'raoh  what  he  is  about  to 
do. 

26  The  '^seven  good  kine  are 
seven  years;  and  the  seven  good 
ears  are  seven  years:  the  dream 
is  one. 

27  And  the  seven  thin  and  ill 
favoured  kine  that  came  up  after 
them  are  seven  years;  and  the 
seven  empty  ears  blasted  with 
the  east  ^wind  shall  be  ^seven 
years  of  ''famine. 

28  This  is  the  thing  which  I 
have  spoken  unto  "Pha'raoh: 
What  "God  is  about  to  do  he 
sheweth  unto  Pha'raoh. 

29  Behold,  there  come  ''seven 
years  of  great  plenty  throughout 
all  the  land  of  *E'gypt: 

30  And  there  shall  arise  after 
them  ''seven  years  of  ''famine; 
and  all  the  plenty  shall  l)e  for- 
gotten in  the  land  of  pygypt;  and 
the  famine  shall  consume  the 
land ; 

31  And  the  plenty  shall  not  be 
known  in  the  land  by  reason  of 
that  ^famine  following;  for  it 
shall  he  very  grievous. 

32  And  for  that  the  *dream  was 
doubled  unto  Pha'raoh  twice;  it 
is  because  the  thing  is  estab- 
lished by  "'God,  and  '"God  will 
shortly  bring  it  to  pass. 

33  ^Now  therefore  let  Pha'raoh 
look  out  a  man  ^discreet  and 
wise,  and  set  him  over  the  land 
of  *E'gypt. 

34  Let  Pha'raoh  do  this,  and  let 
him  appoint  ^officers  over  the 
land,  and  take  up  the  ^fifth  part 
of  the  land  of  "E'gypt  in  the 
seven  plenteous  years. 

35  And  let  them  o;ather  all  the 


food  of  those  good  years  that 
come,  and  lay  up  corn  under 
the  hand  of  Pha'raoh,  and  let 
them  keep  food  in  the  "cities. 

36  And  that  food  shall  l^e  for 
store  to  the  land  against  the 
'^seven  years  of  ''famine,  which 
shall  be  in  the  land  of  E'gypt; 
that  the  land  perish  not  througl 
the  famine. 

37  T[  And  the  thing  was  good  in 
the  eyes  of  Pha'raoh,  and  in  the 
eyes  of  all  his  servants. 

38  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  his 
servants,  Can  we  find  such  a  one 
as  this  is,  a  man  in  whom  the 
-^Spirit  of  God  is  ? 

39  And  Pha'vaoh  said  unto 
''•'Jd'.seph,  Forasmuch  as  God 
hath  shewed  thee  all  this,  the,re 
is  none  so  discreet  and  wise  as 
thou  art: 

40  '■^•''•^Thou  shalt  be  over 
my  house,  and  according  unto 
thy  wovd  shall  all  my  people  be 
ruled:  only  in  the  throne  will  I 
be  greater  than  thou. 

41  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto 
"Jo'.seph,  See,  I  have  "''set  ''thee 
over  all  the  land  of  *E'gypt. 

42  And  Pha'raoh  took  oflf  his 
^ring  from  his  hand,  and  put  it 
upon  ^Jo'seph's  hand,  and  ar 
ra}"ed  him  in  vestures  of  ^fine 
''linen,  and  put  a  'gold  '"chain 
about  his  neck;

46  And  ^Jo'seph  was  thirty 
years  okl  when  he  stood  before

Jo'.seph  went  out  from  the  pres-

tliroughout  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt. 

47  And  in  the  *seven  plenteous 
years  the  earth  brought  forth  by

48  And  he  gathered  up  all  the

were  in  the  land  of  *E'gvpt,  and 
laid  uj)  the  food  in  the  \'ities:  the 
food  of  the  field,  which  was 
round  about  every  city,  laid  he 
up  in  the  same. 

49  And  ''Jo'seph  gathered  'corn 
as  the  sand  of  the  sea,  very 
much,  until  he  left  numbering; 
for  it  was  without  number.

5  And  the  sons  of  "Is'ra-el  came 
to  buy  ^coni  among  those  that 
came :  for  the  ''famine  was  in  the 
land  of  'Ca'naan. 

6  And  ''Jo'seph  was  the  gov- 
ernor over  the  land,  and  he  it 
was  that  sold  to  all  the  people  of 
the  land :  and  Jo'seph's  brethren 
came,  and  ^bowed  down  them- 
selves before  him  tuith  their 
faces  to  the  earth. 

7  And  '^Jo'seph  saw  his  breth- 
ren, and  he  knew  them,  but 
^made  himself  strange  unto 
them,  and  spake  roughly  unto 
them;  and  he  said  unto  them, 
Whence  come  ye  ?  And  they 
said,  From  the  land  of  'Ca'naan 
to  buy  food. 

8  And  '^' Jo'seph  knew  his  breth- 
ren, but  they  knew  not  him. 

9  And  '^Jo'.seph  remembered 
the  'dreams  which  he  dreamed 
of  them,  and  said  unto  them, 
'"Ye  ctre  "^spies;  to  see  the  naked- 
ness of  the  land  ye  are  come. 

10  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Nay,  my  lord,  but  to  buy  "food 
are  thy  servants  come. 

11  We  are  all  one  man's  sons; 
we  are  true  men,  thy  servants  are 
no  "spies. 

12  And  he  '"said  unto  them. 
Nay,  but  to  see  the  nakedness  of 
the  land  ye  are  come. 

13  And  they  said,  Thy  servants 
are  twelve  brethren,  the  sons  of 
one  man  in  the  land  of  'Ca'naan ; 
and,  behold,  the  '^youngest  is 
this  day  with  our  father,  and  one 
is  not. 

14  And  '^Jo'.seph  said  unto 
them,  That  is  it  that  I  spake 
unto  you,  '"saying.  Ye  ai-e  "spies: 

15  Hereby  ye  shall  be  proved: 
By  the  life  of  ^Pha'raoh  ye  shall 
not  go  forth  hence,  except  your 
'^youngest  brother  come  hither. 


16  Send  one  of  you,  and  let  him 
fetch  your  brother,  and  ye  shall 
be  'kept  in  prison,  that  your 
words  may  be  proved,  whether 
there  be  any  truth  in  you:  or  else 
by  the  life  of  ^Pha'raoh  surely 
ye  are  "spies.

gether into  ''ward  three  days.

the  third  day.  This  do,  and  live;

19  If  ye  he  true  men,  let  one  of 
your  brethren  be  bound  in  the 
hcjuse  of  your  'prison:  go  ye,

your  houses : 

20  But  bring  your  ''youngest 
brother  Uiito  me;  so  shall  your 
words  be  verified,  and  ye  shall 
not  die.     And  they  did  so. 

21  T[  And  '"  "they  said  one  to  an- 
other, ''W^e  are  verily  guilty  con- 
cerning our  brother,  in  that  we 
saw  the  anguish  of  his  soul,

3  And  '^Ju'dah  spake  unto  him, 
saying,  The  ''man  did  solemnly 
protest  unto  us,  saying.  Ye  shall 
not  see  my  face,  except  your 
'brother  be  with  you. 

4  If  thou  wilt  send  our  ''brother 
with  us,  we  will  go  down  and 
buy  thee  food: 

5  But  if  thou  wilt  not  send  him, 
we  will  not  go  down :  for  the 
^man  said  unto  us.  Ye  shall  not 
see  my  face,  except  your  brother 
be  with  you. 

G  And  "Ls'ra-el  said.  Wherefore 
dealt  ye  so  ill  with  me,  as  to  tell 
the  man  whether  ye  had  yet  a 
brother  ? 

7  And  they  .said,  The  "man 
asked  us  straitl}  of  our  state, 
and  of  our  kindred,  saying,  Is 
your  father  yet  alive  ?  have  ye 
another  brother  ?  and  we  told 
him  according  to  the  ti'uor  of 
tiiese  words:  could  we  certainly 
know  that  he  would  say,  Bring 
your  'bnjther  down  ?

8  And  ''Ju'dah  said  unto  ^Is'- 
ra-el  his  father,  Send  the  lad 
with  me,  and  we  will  arise  and 
go;  that  we  may  live,  and  not 
die,  both  we,  and  thou,  ami  also 
our  little  ones. 

9  I  will  be  surety  for  him ;  of  my 
hand  shalt  thou  require  him:  if 
I  bring  him  not  unto  thee,  and 
set  him  before  thee,  then  Het  me 
bear  the  blame  for  ever: 

10  For  except  we  had  lingered, 
surely  now  we  had  returned  this 
second  time. 

11  And  their  father  '^I.s'ra-el 
said  unto  them,  If  it  must  be  so 
now,  do  this;  take  of  the  best 
fruits  in  the  land  in  your  vessels, 
and  carry  down  the  man  a  '^pres- 
ent, a  little  ''balm,  and  a  little 

honey,  ^spices  and  ''^myrrh, 
^nuts,  and  *almonds: 

12  And  take  double  ^money  in 
your  hand;  and  the  money  that 
was  brought  again  in  the  mouth 
of  your  sacks,  '"carry  it  again  in 
your  hand;  peradventure  it  iva^' 
an  oversight: 

13  Take  also  your  TDrother,  and 
arise,  go  again  unto  the  *man: 

14  And  "■''God  Almighty  give 
you  mercy  before  the  man,  that 
he  may  send  away  your  ^other 
brother,  and  ''Ben'ja-min.  If  *I 
be  bereaved  of  my  children,  I  am 
bereaved. 

15  ^  And  the  men  took  that 
'present,  and  they  took  double 
'money  in  their  hand,  and  ^Ben'- 
ja-min;  and  rose  up,  and  went 
down  to  *E'gypt,  and  stood  be- 
fore ^Jo'.geph. 

16  And  when  ^Jo'.seph  saw 
'Ben'ja-min  with  them,  he  said 
to  the  ^ruler  of  his  house,  Bring 
these  men  home,  and  slay,  and 
make  ready;  for  these  men  shall 
dine  with  me  at  noon. 


17  And  the  man  did  as  '^Jo'.seph 
bade;  and  the  man  brought  the 
men  into  Jo'seph's  house. 

18  And  the  men  were  afraid, 
because  they  were  brought  into 
*Jo',seph's  house;  and  they  said. 
Because  of  the  'money  that  was 
returned  in  our  saclvs  at  the  first 
time  are  we  brought  in;  that  he 
may  seek  occasion  against  us, 
and  fall  upon  us,  and  take  us  for 
'^bondmen,  and  our  asses. 

19  And  they  came  near  to  the 
^steward  of  Jo'seph's  house,  and 
they  communed  with  him  at  the 
door  of  the  house. 

20  And  said,  O  sir,  we  came  in 
deed  down  at  the  first  time  to 
buy  *food: 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
we  came  to  the  inn,  that  we 
opened  our  sacks,  and,  behold, 
evcrjj  man's  'money  was  in  the 
mouth  of  his  sack,  our  money 
in  full  weight:  and  we  have 
"'brought  it  again  in  our  hand 

22  And  other  'money  have  we 
brought  down  in  our  hands  to 
buy  "food:  we  cannot  tell  who 
put  our  money  in  our  sacks. 

23  And  'he  said,  Peace  be  to 
you,  fear  not:  your  God,  and  the 
God  of  your  father,  hath  given 
you  "treasure  in  your  sacks: 
I  had  your  money.  And  he 
brought  ^Sim'e-on  out  unto 
them. 

24  And  the  ^man  brought  the 
men  into  ^Jo'.seph's  house,  and 
jifave  them,  water,  and  thev 
"washed  their  "'feet;  and  he  gave 
their  '''asses  provender. 

25  And  they  made  ready  the

27  And  he  asked  them  of  their 
weh'are,  and  said,  Is  your  father 
well,  the  old  man  of  whom  ye 
spake  ?  Is  he  yet  alive  ? 

28  Antl  they  answered,  Thy 
servant  our  father  is  in  good 
health,  he  is  yet  alive.  And  they 
bowed  down  theii  heads,  and 
made  ^obeisance. 

29  And  he  lifted  up  nis  eyes, 
and  saw  his  brother  Bcn'ja-min, 
his  mother's  son,  and  said,  Is 
this  your  younger  brother,  of 
whom  ye  spake  unto  me  ?  And 
he  'said,  God  be  gracious  unto 
thee,  my  son. 

30  And  "Jo'seph  made  haste; 
for  his  ''bowels  did  yearn  upon 
his  '^•'^brother:  and  he  sought 
where  to  weep;  and  he  entered 
into  his  chamber,  and  "^wept 
there. 

31  And  he  %ashed  his  face, 
and  went  out,  and  refrained  him-

32  And  they  set  on  for  him  by 
himself,  and  for  them  by  them- 
selves, and  for  the  ''E-gyp'tian.s, 
which  did  eat  with  him,  by  them-

migjit  not  eat  l)read  with  the 
'He'brew.s ;  for  that  is  an  abom-

the   'firstborn  according   to  his

were  merry  with  him.

ing, Fill  the  men's  sacks  witli 
food,  as  much  as  they  can  carry, 
and  put  every  man's  ''money  in

2  And  put  my  *cup,  the  silver

•^youngest,  and  his  corn  money. 
And  he  did  according  to  the 
word  that  Jo'seph  had  spoken. 

3  As  soon  as  the  morning  was 
light,  the  men  were  sent  away, 
they  and  their  ^asses. 

4  And  when  they  were  gone  out 
of  the  city,  and  not  yet  far  ofl:\

Up,  follow  after  the  men;  and

ye  rewarded  ''evil  for  good  ? 

5  Is  not  this  it  in  which  my  lord 
drinketh,  and  whereby  indeed  he 
^divineth  ?  ye  have  done  evil  in 
so  doing. 

6  And  he  overtook  them,  and 
he  spake  unto  them  these  same 
words. 

7  And  they  said  unto  him. 
Wherefore  saith  my  lord  these 
words  ?  God  forbid  that  thy 
servants  should  do  according  to 
this  thing: 

8  Behold,  the  '^money,  which 
we  fountl  in  our  sacks'  mouths,

11  Then  they  speedily  took 
down  every  man  his  sack  to  the 
ground,  and  opened  every  man 
his  sack. 

12  And  he  searched,  aiul  began 
at  the  eldest,  and  left  at  the 
youngest:  and  the  *cup  was 
found  in  '^Ben'ja-min's  sack. 

13  Then  ^they  'rent  their 
clothes,  and  laded  every  man  his 
ass,  and  returned  to  the  city. 

14  And  '"  Ju'dah  and  his  breth- 
ren came  to  °Jo'seph's  house; 
for  he  was  yet  there:  and  they 
fell  before  him  on  the  ground. 

15  And  "Jo'seph  "said  unto 
them,  "What  deed  is  this  that  ye 
have  done  ?  Hvot  ye  not  that 
such  a  man  as  I  can  certainly 
"divine  ? 

16  And  '"Ju'dah  said.  What 
shall  we  say  unto  my  lord  ?  what 
shall  we  speak  ?  or  how  shall  we 
clear  ourselves  ?  ^God  hath 
found  out  the  '^iniquity  of  thy  ser- 
vants: behold,  we  are  my  lord's 
servants,  both  we,  and  he  also 
with  whom  the  *cup  is  found. 

17  And  he  said,  God  forbid  that 
I  should  do  so:  but  the  man  in 
whose  hand  the  *cup  is  found, 
he  shall  be  my  servant;  and  as 
for  you,  get  you  up  in  peace  unto 
your  father. 

'  18  ^  Then  '"•^•* Ju'dah  came 
near  unto  him,  and  said.  Oh  my 
lord,  let  thy  servant,  I  pray  thee, 
speak  a  word  in  my  lord's  ears, 
and  let  not  thine  anger  burn 
against  thy  servant :  for  thou  aii 
even  as  'Pha'raoh. 

19  INIy  lord  asked  his  servants, 
saying.  Have  ye  a  "father,  or  a 
brother  ? 

20  And  we  said  unto  my  lord, 
We  have  a  "father,  an  old  man, 
and  a  "^child  of  his  old  age,  a  lit- 
tle one;  and  his  '^brother  is  dead. 


and  he  alone  is  left  of  his  mother, 
and  his  father  loveth  him. 

21  And  thou  saidst  unto  thy 
servants.  Bring  ''him  down  unto 
me,  that  I  may  set  mine  eyes 
upon  him. 

22  And  we  said  unto  my  lord, 
The  ''lad  cannot   leave  his  "fa 
ther:  for  if  he  should   leave  his 
father,  his  father  would  die. 

23  And  thou  saidst  unto  thy 
servants.  Except  your  ''youngest 
brother  come  down  with  you,  ye 
shall  see  my  face  no  more. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass  when 
we  came  up  unto  thy  servant  my 
"father,  we  told  him  the  words 
of  my  lord. 

25  And  our  "father  said.  Go 
again,  ami  buy  us  a  little  food. 

26  And  we  said,  We  cannot  go 
down:  if  our  ''youngest  brother 
be  with  us,  then  will  we  go 
down:  for  we  may  not  see  the 
man's  face,  except  our  youngest 
brother  be  with  us. 

27  And  thy  servant  my  "father 
said  unto  us.  Ye  know  that  my 
wife  bare  mc  two  sons: 

28  And  the  ''one  went  out  from 
me,  and  I  said,  Surely  he  is  torn 
in  pieces;  and  I  saw  him  not 
since : 

29  And  if  ye  take  "this  also 
from  me,  and  mischief  befall 
him,  ye  shall  bring  down  my  gray 
hairs  with  sorrow  to  the  ^grave. 

30  Now  therefore  when  *I  come 
to  thy  servant  my  "father,  and 
the  "lad  be  not  with  us;  seeing 
that  ^his  life  is  bound  up  in  the

31  It  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
"he  seeth  that  the  ''lad  is  not 
with  us,  that  he  will  die:  and  thy

CHAPTER  45 

Joseph  makes  liimsrlf  known  to  his  brethren: 
5  anil  comforts  them  in  God's  providence. 
9  He  sends  for  Ms  falher.  16  Piiaraoh 
confirms  it.  21  Joseph  furnishes  them 
for  their  journeu,  and  exhorts  them  to 
concord.  25  Jacob  is  revived  with  the 
neii':. 

THEN  ^Jo'.seph  could  not 
refrain  himself  before  all 
them  that  stood  by  him;  and 
he  cried,  Cause  every  man  to 
go  out  from  me.  And  there 
stood  no  man  with  him,  while 
Jo'.seph  made  himself  known 
unto  his  ''brethren. 

2  And  he  ^'wept  aloud:  and  the 
''E-gyp'tian.s  and  the  house  of 
^Pha'radh  heard. 

3  And  '^Jo'.seph  said  unto  his 
brethren,  I  avi  Jo'seph;  doth  my 
father  yet  live  ?  And  ''his  breth- 
nm  could  not  answer  him;  for 
they  were  '^troublcd  at  his  pres- 
ence. 

4  .Vnd  ^Jr/.seph  said  unto  his 
brethren,  ^Come  near  to  me,  I 
pray  you.  And  they  came  near. 
And  he  said,  I  am  Jo'seph  your 
'^brother,  whom  ye  sold  into 
^-E'gypt. 

5  "  "Now  tliercforc  be  not 
grieved,  nor  angry  with  your- 
selves, that  ye  sold  me  hither: 
f(jr  KUyI  did  send  me  before  you 
'"to  preserve  life. 

6  For  these  two  years  lialJi  the 
"famine  been  in  the  land :  and  yet 
there  are  five  years,  in  the  which 


there  sJiall  neither  be  earing  nor 
harvest. 

7  "And  'God  sent  me  before  you 
to  preserve  you  a  'posterity  in 
the  earth,  and  to  save  your  lives 
I)y  a  great  deliverance. 

8  "■''"So  now  it  ivas  not  you 
that  sent  me  hither,  but  God: 
and  he  hath  matle  me  a  father  to 
"Pha'raoh,  and  lord  of  all  his 
house,  and  a  ruler  throughout 
all  the  land  of  '^E'gypt. 

9  Haste  ye,  and  go  up  to  ^my 
^•'"father,  and  say  unto  him, 
Thus  saith  thy  son  '^Jo'.seph, 
God  hath  made  me  lord  of  all 
^E'gypt:  come  down  unto  me, 
tarry  not: 

10  And  thou  shalt  dwell  in  the 
land  of  *G6'shen,  and  thou  shalt 
be  near  unto  me,  thou,  and  thy 
children,  and  thy  chiklren's 
children,  and  thy  flocks,  and 
thy  herds,  and  all  that  thou 
hast: 

11  And  there  will  '^■^I  nourish 
thee;  for  yet  there  are  five  years 
of  "famine;  lest  thou,  and  thy 
household,  and  all  that  thou 
hast,  come  to  poverty. 

12  And,  behold,  your  eyes  see, 
and  the  eyes  of  my  brother 
*Ben'ja-mm,  that  it  is  my  mouth 
that  sj)eaketh  unto  you. 

13  And  ye  shall  tell  my  ''^father 
of  all  my  glory  in  ''E'gypt,  and  of 
all  that  ye  liave  seen;  and  ye 
tihall  haste  and  bring  down  my 
father  hither. 

14  And  he  fell  upon  his  brother 
*Ben'ja-min's  neck,  and  *wept; 
and  Ben'ja-min  wept  upon  his 
neck. 

15  Moreover  he  'kissed  all  his 
brethren,  and  ''wept  upon  them 
and    after    tiiat    his    brethren 
talked  with  him.

well,  and  hi.s  servant.s. 

17  And  i^Pha'raoh  said  unto 
Jo'seph,  "Say  unto  tliy  breth- 
ren, This  do  je:  lade  vour 
beasts,  and  go,  get  you  unto  the 
land  of  '-'Ca'naan; 

18  And  take  your  ^father  and 
your  households,  and  '"'come  un- 
to me:  and  I  will  ^give  you  the 
good  ^i  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and 
ye  shall  -at  the  ^fat  of  the  land. 

19  "Now  thou  art  commanded, 
this  do  ye;  take  you  ^vagons  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  your 
little  ones,  and  for  your  wives, 
and  ^bring  your  father,  and 
come. 

20  Also  regard  not  your  stuff; 
for  "-"the  good  of  all  the  land  of 

E'gypt  is  3'ours. 

21  And  the  children  of  '^I§'ra-el 
did  so:  and  ^Jo'seph  gave  them 
^wagons,  according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  ^'Phri'radh,  and 
gave  them  provision  for  tiie  way. 

22  To  all  of  them  he  gave  each 
man  changes  of  ''raiment;  but  to 
'Ben'ja-niTn  he  gave  'three  hun- 

Ired  pieces  of  ^silver,  and   five 

changes  of  raiment. 

23  And  to  his  "^fatiier  he  sent  af- 
ter this  viauner;  'ten  asses  laden 
with  the  good  things  of  '^E'gypt, 
and  ten  she  asses  laden  with 
corn  and  bread  and  meat  for 
his  father  by  the  way. 

24  So  he  sent  his  brethren 
away,  and  they  departed:  and 
he  said  unto  them,  'See  that  ye 

'fall  not  out  by  the  way. 

25  And  they  went  up  out  of 
E'gypt,  and  came  into  the  land 

of  "Ca'naan  unto  'Ma'cob  their 
father, 

26  And  told  '^'hini,  saying,* Jo'-

words  of  ^Jo'seph,  which  he  had 
said  unto  them:  and  when  he 
saw  the  'wagons  which  Jo'.^eph 
had  sent  to  carry  him,  the  spirit 
of  Ja'cob  their  father  revived: 

28  And  ''Is'ra-el  said,  //  is

30  And  ^Is'ra-el  said  unto  ''Jo'-

have  seen  thy  face,  because  thou 
art  yet  alive. 

31  And  ''J5',seph  said  unto  his

^Pha'raoh,  and  say  unto  him,

°Ca'naan,are  come  imto  me; 

32  And  the  men  are  ^shepherds, 
for  their  trade  hath  been  to  feed 
cattle;  and  they  have  brought 
their  flocks,  and  their  herds,  and 
all  that  they  have. 

33  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  Pha'raoh  shall  call  you, 
and  shall  say,  What  is  your 
occupation  ? 

34  That  ye  shall  say,  Thy  serv- 
ants' trade  hath  been  about  cat- 
tle from  our  youth  even  until 
now,  both  we,  and  also  our  fa- 
thers: that  ye  may  dwell  in  the 
land  of  ^Go'shen;  for  every

CHAPTER  47 

Joseph  presents  five  of  his  brethren,  7  and 
his  father,  before  Pharaoh.  11  He  gives 
them  habitation  and  maintenance.  13 
He  obtains  all  the  Eguptinns'  money,  16 
their  cattle,  18  and  their  lands,  for  Pha- 
raoh. 22  The  priests'  land  was  not  bought. 
23  He  lets  out  the  land  for  a  fifth  part. 
28  Jacob's  age.  2!)  He  swears  Joseph  to 
bury  him  with  his  fathers. 

THEN    "Jd'seph     came    and 
told  ''Pha'raoh,   and  said, 
jNIy  '^father    and    my    brethren, 


and  their  flocks,  and  their  herds, 
and  all  that  they  have,  are  come 
out  of  the  land  of  ''Ca'naan; 
and,  behold,  they  arc  in  the 
land  of  '^Go'shen. 

2  And   he  took   some   of   his 
brethren,  even  five  men,  and  pre 
sented  them  unto  ''Pha'raoh. 

3  And  ''Pha'raoh  said  unto  his 
brethren,  What  is  your  occupa- 
tion ?  And  they  said  unto  Pha'- 
raoh, Thy  servants  are  'shep- 
herds, both  we,  and  also  our 
fathers. 

4  They  said  moreover  unto 
''Pha'raoh,  For  to  sojourn  in  the 
land  are  we  come;  for  thy  serv- 
ants have  no  pasture  for  their 
flocks ;  for  the  ^famine  is  sore  in 
the  land  of  ''Ca'naan :  now  there- 
fore, we  pray  thee,  let  thy  serv- 
ants dwell  in  the  land  of  Go'- 
shen. 

5  And  ''Pha'raoh  spake  unto 
"Jo'.seph,  saying.  Thy  father  and 
thy  brethren  are  come  unto 
thee: 

6  ''The  land  of  'E'gvpt  is  before 
thee;  in  the  best  of  the  land 
make  thy  father  and  brethren  to 
dwell;  in  the  land  of  ^Go'shen 
let  ^them  dwell:  and  if  thou 
knowest  any  ^men  of  activity 
among  them,  then  make  them 
rulers  over  my  cattle. 

7  And  "Jo'.seph  brought  in  '^ Ja'

fore     ''Pha'raoh:     and     Ja'cob 
''blessed  Pha'raoh. 

8  And  ''l^ha'raoh  said  unto 
"^Ja'cob,  How  old  art  thou  ? 

9  And  ^Ja'cob  said  unto  "Pha' 
radh.  The  days  of  the  'years  of 
my  pilgrimage  are  an  hundred 
and  thirty  years:  few  and  evil 
have  the  days  of  the  years  of  my

as  Pha'raoh  had  commantled. 

12  And  ""Jo'-seph  nomished 
his  father,  and  his  brethren,  and 
all  his  father's  household,  with 
bread,  according  to  their  fam- 
ilies. 

13  T[  And  ihcre  was  no  bread  in 
all  the  land ;  for  the  ^famine  was 
very  sore,  so  that  the  land  of 

E'gvpt  and  all  the  land  of  '^Ca'- 
naan  fainted  by  reason  of  the 
famine. 

14  PAnd  "Jo'.seph  gathered  up 
all  Ihe  *money  that  was  found  in 
the  land  of  'E'gvpt,  and  in  the 
land  of  '^Ca'naan.  for  the  ''corn 
which  they  bought:  and  Jo'seph 
brought  the  money  into  *Pha'- 
raoh's  house. 

15  And  when  ^money  failed  in 
the  land  of  'E'gypt,  and  in  the 
land  of  ''Ca'naan,  all  the  £l-gyp'- 
tian.^i  came  unto  Jo'.seph,  and 
said.  Give  us  bread:  for  why 
should  we  die  in  thy  presence  ? 
for  the  money  faileth. 

16  And  °Jd',sei)h  said,  ^Give 
your  cattle;  and  I  will  give  you

for  the  cattle  of  the  herds,  and 
for  the  'asses:  and  he  ^fed  them 
with  bread  for  all  their  cattle  for

that  our  money  is  sjjent;  ^my 
lord  also  hath  our  herds  of  cat- 
tle; there  is  not  ought  left  in  the 
•sight  of  my  lord,  but  our  bodies, 
and  our  lands:

be  servants  unto  ''Pha'raoh :  and 
give  us  seed,  that  we  may  live, 
and  not  die,  that  the  land  be  not 
desolate. 

20  And  '^Jo'.seph  ''bought  all 
the  ^land  of  'E'gypt  for  Pha' 
raoh;  for  the  £-gyp'tian,s  sold 
every  man  his  field,  because  the 
"famine  prevailed  over  them :  so 
the  land  became  ''Pha'raoh's. 

21  And  as  for  the  people,  he  re- 
moved them  to  "'cities  from  ojie 
end  of  the  borders  of  E'gvpt 
even  to  the  other  end  thereof. 

22  Only  the  ^land  of  the 
^priests  bought  he  not;  for  the 
priests  had  a  portion  assirpied 
them  of  *Pha'radh,  and  did  eat 
their  portion  which  Pha'iaoh 
gave  them:  wherefore  they  sold 
not  their  lands. 

28  Then  ''Jo'seph  said  unto  the 
people.  Behold,  I  have  "bought 
you  this  day  and  your  land  for 
Pha'raoh:  lo,  here  is  seed  for

the  increase,  that  ye  shall  give

will  make  thee  fruitful,  and  mul- 
tiply thee,  and  I  will  make  of 
thee  a  multitude  of  people;  and 
will  give  this  land  to  thy  ''seed 
after  thee  for  an  everlasting 
possession. 

5  And  now  thy  two  sons, 
''E'phril-im  and  ''Ma-nas'seh, 
which  were  born  unto  thee  in  the 
land  of  ''E'gypt  before  I  came 
unto  thee  into  E'gypt,  *are 
mine;  as  *Reu'ben  and  'Sim'- 
e-on,  they  shall  be  mine. 

6  And  thy  issue,  which  thou  ^be- 
gettest  after  them,  shall  be  thine, 
and  shall  be  called  after  the 
name  of  their  brethren  in  their 
inheritance. 

7  And  as  for  me,  when  I  came 
from  Pa'dan,  ^Ra'chel  died  'by 
me  in  the  land  of  ^Ca'naan  in  the 
way,  when  yet  there  tvas  but  a 
little  way  to  come  unto  Eph'- 
rath:  and  I  ^juried  her  there  in 
the  way  of  Eph'rath;  the  same 
is  ^Beth'-le-hem. 

8  And  "I§'ra-el  beheld  °J6'- 
.^eph's  sons,  and  said.  Who  are 
these  ? 

9  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  fa- 
ther. They  are  my  "'sons,  whom 
God  hath  given  me  in  this  place. 
And  he  said.  Bring  them,  I  pray 
thee,  unto  me,  and  I  will  "bless 
them. 

10  Now  the  eyes  of  ''Ls'ra-el  were 
dim  forage,  so  that  he  could  "not 
see.  And  he  brought  them  near 
unto  him;  and  ^he  "kissed  them, 
and  embraced  them.

11  And  ^T.s'ra'cl  '.said  unto 
"Jo'.seph,  I  had  not  thought  to 
see  thy  face:  and,  lo,  God  hath 
shewed  me  also  thy  seed. 

12  And  "-Mr/.scph  broui^ht 
them  out  from  between  his 
knees,  and  he  bowed  himself 
with  his  face  to  the  earth. 

13  And  "Jo'seph  took  them

hand  to\^'a^d  Is'i-a-el's  left 
hand,  and '^Ma-nas'seh  in  his  left 
hand  toward  Ls'i-a-el's  right 
hand,  and  brought  tit  cm  near 
unto  him. 

14  And  "Is'ra-el  stretched  out 
his  right  'haml,  and  laid  // 
upon  '^E'phra-un's  head,  who 
was  the  younger,  and  his  left 
hand  upon  '^Ma-nas'seh's  head, 

gui(hng  his  hands  wittingly; 
for  Ma-nas'seh  was  the  "first- 
born. 

1511  And  iie  blessed  Jo'seph, 
and  said,  God,  before  whom 
my  fathers  "'A'bra-ham  and 
•^I'.saac  did  walk,  the  ^God  which 

fed  me  all  my  life  long  unto 
this  day, 

16  "The  ''Angel  wliich  re-

of  my  fathers  A'bra-ham  and 
I'saac;  and  let  them  grow  into  a 
multitude  in  the  midst  of  the 
earth. 

17  And  when  Jd'seph  saw  tliat 
his  father  laid  his  right  ''hand 
upon  the  head  of  '^E'{)hra-im,  it 
displeased  him ;  and  he  held  up 
his  father's  hand,  to  remove  it 
from  E'phra-im's  head  unto 
^Ma-nas'seh's  head. 

18  And  Jo'.seph  said  imto  iiis 
father,  Not  so,  my  father;  for 
this  is  the  ^■''firstborn;  put  thy 
right  hand  upon  his  head. 

19  And  his  father  refused,  and 
said,  I  know  it,  my  son,  I  know 
it:  "he  also  shall  become  a  peo- 
ple, and  he  also  shall  be  great: 


but  truly  his  younger  ''brother 
shall  be  greater  than  h(\  and  his

20  And  "he  blessed  them  that

'^E'phra-im  and  as  '"jMa-nas'seh : 
and  he  set  E'phni-im  before

21  And  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Jo'-

shall  be  with  you,  and  bring  you

thou  bury  me.  Now  therefore  let 
me  go  up,  1  pray  thee,  and  ''bury

6  And  'Pha'raoh  said,  Go  up, 
and  "bury  thy  father,  according 
as  he  m;:de  thee  ^swear. 

7  %  And  ''Jo'.seph  '"went  up  to 
"bury  his  father:  and  with  him 
went  up  all  the  servants  of  'Pha'- 
raoh,  the  elders  of  his  house,  and 
all  the  elders  of  the  land  of 
"E'gypt, 

8  And  all  the  house  of  "  Jo'.seph, 
and  his  brethren,  and  his  fa- 
ther's house:  only  their  little 
ones,  and  their  flocks,  and  their 
herds,  they  left  in  the  land  of 
^Go'shen. 

9  And  there  went  up  with  him 
both  ^chariots  and  horsemen: 
and  it  was  a  very  great  company. 

10  And  they  came  to  the  thresh- 
ing-floor of  x-V'tad,  which  is  be- 
yond  '^Jor'dan,  and  there  they 

mourned  with  a  great  and  very 
sore  lamentation:  and  he  made 
a  mourning  for  his  father  *seven 
da}'s. 

11  And  when  the  inhal)itants  of 
the  land,  the  'Ca'naan-ites,  saw 
the  ^mourning  in  the  floor  of 
A'tad,  they  said,  This  is  a  griev- 
ous mourning  to  the  E-gyp'- 
tian.s:  wherefore  the  name  of 
it  was  called  A'bel-miz'ra-im, 
which  is  beyond  '^Jor'dan. 

12  And  his  ''sons  "did  unto  him 
according  as  he  commanded 
them : 

13  For  his  sons  carried  him  into 
the  land  of  '"Ca'naan,  and  "bur- 
ied him  in  the  "cave  of  the  field 
of  ''Mach-pe'lah,  which  "'A'bra- 
ham  bought  with  the  field  for  a 
possession  of  a  ^buryingplace  of 
^E'phron  the  Hit'tlte,  before 
^Mam're. 

14  And  '^Jo^.seph  returned  into 
"E'gypt,  he,  and  his  brethren, 
and  all  that  went  up  with  him  to 


bury   his   father,   after   he   had 
buried  his  father. 

15  T[  And  when  Jo'seph's  breth- 
ren saw  that  their  father  was 
dead,  ^"they  said,  Jo'.seph  will 
peradventure  hate  us,  and  will 
certainl}'  requite  us  all  the  evil 
which  we  did  unto  him. 

16  And  they  sent  a  messenger 
unto  ''Jo'.seph,  saying,  Thy  '^fa 
ther   did    command    before    he 
died,  saying, 

17  So  shall  ye  say  unto  ''Jo'- 
.seph,  ''Forgive,  I  pray  thee  now, 
the  trespass  of  thy  brethren,  and 
their  sin;  for  they  did  unto  thee 
evil :  and  now,  '^we  pray  thee,  for- 
give the  trespass  of  the  servants 
of  the  God  of  thy  father.  And 
Jo'.seph  ^wept  when  they  spake 
unto  him. 

18  And  his  brethren  also  went 
and  fell  down  before  his  face; 
and  they  said.  Behold,  we  he  thy 
sei'vants. 

19  And  ^•'''Jo'seph  said  unto 
them,  ''-^Fear  not :  for  am  I  in  the 
place  of  God  ? 

20  But  as  for  you,  •'ye  thought 
evil  against  me;  but  ^''Goc 
meant  it  unto  good,  to  bring  to

much  people  alive. 

21  ''''Now  therefore  fear  ye  not: 
I  M  ill  nourish  you,  and  your  little

and  spake  ^kindly  unto  them

4  'Dan,  and  "'Naph'ta-ll,  "Gad,

5  And  all  the  ''souls  that  came 
out  of  the  loins  of  'Ma'colj  were 
seventy  souls:  for  ^Jo'.seph  was 
in  ''E'gypt  alreadij. 

6  And  ^Jo'seph  died,  and  all 
his  brethren,  and  all  that  gen- 
eration. 

7  And  the  children  of  ''Ts'ra-el 
were  fruitful,  and  increased 
abundantly,  and  multiplied,  and 
waxed  exceeding  mighty;  and 
the  land  was  filled  with  them. 

8  *\  Now  there  arose  up  a  new 
king  over  '^E'gypt,  ''which  knew 
not  ^Jf/seph, 

9  And  he  said  unto  his  people, 
Behold,  the  people  of  the  chil- 
dren of  'Is'ra-ei  are  ^more  and 
mightier  than  we: 


10  Come  on,  let  us  deal  ^wisely 
with  *them;  lest  they  multiply, 
and  it  come  to  pass,  thixt,  when 
there  falleth  out  any  war,  they 
join  also  our  enemies,  and  fight 
against  us,  and  so  get  them  up 
out  of  the  land. 

11  Therefore  they  did  set  over 
''them  taskmasters  to  'afflict 
them  with  their  burdens.  And 
they  built  for  *Pha.'ra6h  ^treas- 
ure cities,  Pi'thom  and  "Rfi- 
fim'se.s. 

12  But  the  more  they  'afflict- 
ed *thera,  th3  more  they  multi 
plied  and  grew.    And  they  were 
grieved  because  of  the  children 
of  I.s'ra-el. 

13  And  the  ^l5-gyp'tian.s  made 
the  children  of  I§'ra-el  to  serve 
with  rigour: 

14  And  they  made  their  lives 
bitter  with  'hard  H)ondage,  in 
'"morter,  and  in  brick,  and  in  all 
manner  of  service  in  the  field: 
all  their  service,  wherein  they 
made  them  serve,  was  with 
rigour. 

15  ^  And  the  *■  ^king  of  E'gypt 
spake  to  the  He'brew  ^mid- 
wives,  of  which  the  name  of  the 
one  was  Shiph'rah,  and  the 
name  of  the  other  Pu'ah: 

16  And  ^he  said,  When  ye  do 
the  office  of  a  ^midwife,  to  the 
He'brew  women,  and  see  them

upon  the  stools;  if  it  he  a  son, 
then  ye  shall  "kill  him:  but  if  it 
be  a  daughter,  then  she  shall  live. 

17  But  the  ^midwives  ^feared 
God,  and  "did  not  as  the  *king 
of  E'gypt  commantled  them,  but 
saved  the  men  children  alive. 

18  And  the  "king  of  E'gvpt 
called  for  the  '^mid wives,  and 
said  unto  them.  Why  have  ye 
done  this  thing,  and  have  saved 
the  men  children  alive  ? 

19  And  the  mid  wives  said  unto 
Pha'raoh,  Because  the  ''He'- 
brew  women  are  not  as  the 
£-gyp'tian  women;  for  they  are 
lively,  and  are  delivered  ere  the 
midwives  come  in  unto  them. 

20  Therefore  '^God  'dealt  well 
with  the  midwives:  and  the  peo- 
ple multiplied,  and  waxed  very 
mighty. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  because 
the  "midwives  ^feared  God,  that 
he  made  them  houses. 

22  And  Pha'raoh  charged  all 
his  people,  saying.  Every  ''son 
that  is  born  ye  shall  "cast  into 
the  river,  and  every  daughter  ye 
shall  save  alive. 

CHAPTER  2 

Moses  is  born,  3  and  placed  in  an  ark 
among  the  flags  of  the  river.  5  He  is  found, 
and  brought  up  by  Pharaoh's  daughter. 
11  He  Slavs  an  Egyptian.  13  He  re- 
proves a  Hebrew.  15  He  flees  into 
Midian.  21  He  marries  Zipporah.  22 
Gershom  is  born.  23  God  respects  the 
Israelites'  cry. 

AND   there  went  a  "man  of 
the  house  of  "Le'vi,  and 
took  to  wife  a  '^daughter  of  Le'vi. 

2  And  the  ^woman  conceived, 
and  bare  a  son:  and  when  she 
saw  him  that  "^he  was  a  goodly 
child,  she  hid  him  three  months. 

3  And   when   ''she   could   not 


longer  hide  him,  she  took  for 
him  an  ark  of  *  bulrushes,  and 
daubed  it  with  'sliine  and  with 
"pitch,  and  put  the  child  therein ; 
and  she  laid  it  in  the  flags  by  the 
river's  brink. 

4  And  his  ''sister  stood  afar  off, 
to  wit  what  would  be  done  to  him. 

5  t  And  the  daughter  of  'Pha'- 
raoh came  down  to  'wash  her- 
self at  the  river;  and  her  maidens 
walked  along  by  the  river's  side; 
and  when  she  saw  the  ark  among 
the  f^ags,  she  sent  her  maid  to 
fetch  it. 

6  And  when  she  had  opened  it, 
she  saw  the  child:  and,,  behold, 
the  babe  wept.  And  she  had 
^compassion  on  him,  and  said. 
This  is  one  of  the  'He'brewg' 
children. 

7  Then  said  his  ''sister  to  *Pha'- 
raoh's  daughter.  Shall  1  go  and 
call  to  thee  a  "'nurse  of  the  ^He' 
brew  women,  that  she  may  nurse 
the  "child  for  thee  ? 

8  And  *Pha'raoh's  daughter 
said  to  her,  Go.  And  the  "maid 
went  and  called  the  child's 
'^mother. 

9  And  'Pha'raoh's  daughter 
said  unto  her.  Take  this  "child 
away,  and  '"nurse  it  for  me,  and  I 
will  give  thee  thy  "wages.  And 
the  woman  took  the  child,  and 
nursed  it. 

10  And  the  child  grew,  and  she 
brought  him  unto  'Pha'raoh's 
daughter,  and  he  ^became  her 
son.  And  she  called  his  name 
^M6'.ses:  and  she  said.  Because 
I  drew  him  out  of  the  water 

11  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
those  days,  "when  ^Mo'se.s  was 
grown,  that  he  went  out  unto  his

brethren,  and  looked  on  their 
burdens:  and  he  spied  an 
E-gyp'tian  smiting  an  'He'brew, 
one  of  his  brethren. 

12  And  ^he  looked  this  way 
and  that  way,  and  'when  he  saw 
that  there  was  no  man,  he  ''•^slew 
the  E-gyp'tian,  and  hid  him  in 
the  sand. 

13  And  'when  he  went  out  the 
second  day,  behold,  two  men  of 
the  ^PIe''brevY.s  strove  together: 
and  he  said  to  him  that  did  the 
wrong,  Wherefore  ''smitest  thou 
thy  fellow  ? 

14  And  he  said,  «Who  made 
thee  a  prince  and  a  judge  over 
us  ?  intendest  thou  to  kill  me,  as 
thou  killedst  the  E-gyp'tian  ? 
And  'jMo'.ses  feared,  and  said. 
Surely  this  thing  is  known. 

15  Now  when  'Pha'raoh  heard 
this  thing,  he  sought  to  slay 
^Mo'ses.  ^'But  INIo'ses  "fled  from 
the  face  of  Pha'raoh,  and  dwelt 
in  the  land  of  ^Mid'i-an :  and  he 
sat  down  by  a  well. 

16  Now  the  'Spriest  of  Midl-an 
had  seven  daughters:  and  -^they 
came  and  drew  water,  and  filled 
the  troughs  to  water  their  fa- 
ther's flock. 


17  And  the  ^shepherds  came 
and  drove  them  away;  but  Mo'- 
se.s  stood  up  and  ^helped  them, 
and  watered  their  flock. 

18  And  when  they  came  to 
"Reu'el  their  father,  he  said, 
How  is  it  thai  ye  are  come  so 
soon  to  day? 

19  And  they  said,  An  E-gyp'- 
tian delivered  us  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  "shepherds,  and  also  drew 
water  enough  for  us,  and  "^wa- 
tered the  flock. 

20  And  he  said  unto  his  daugli 
ters.  And  where  is  he  ?  why  is  it 
tJiat  ye  have  left  tlie  '^man  ?  *call 
him,  that  he  may  eat  bread.

'"groaning,  and  "God  remem- 
bered his  "covenant  with  ^A'bra- 
ham,  with  *I'saae,  and  witli 
^Ja'cob. 

25  And  God  looked  upon  the 
cliildren  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  *God 
had  respect  unto  them. 

CHAPTER  3 

Af  OSes  keeps  Jcthro's  flock.  2  God  appears 
to  him  in  a  burning  bush;  9  and  setids 
him  to  detiiwr  Israel.  14  The  -lame  of 
God.     15  His  tncssage  to  Israel. 

^OW  "IVlo'se.s  *kept  the  flock 
-^y  of  *Jeth'r6  his  father  in 
hiw,  the  priest  of  '^Mid'ian:  and 
he  led  the  flock  to  the  backside 
of  the  ^desert,  and  came  to 
the  mountain  of  God,  even  to 
+Horeb. 

2  And  the  '^angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  in  a  flame  of 
^fire  out  of  the  midst  of  a  bush: 
and  he  looked,  and,  behold,  the 
"^bush  burned  with  fire,  and  the 
bush  'was  not  consumed. 

3  And  "Mo'.se.s  said,  I  will  now 
turn  aside,  and  see  this  great 
sight,  why  the  brsh  ^is  not  burnt. 

4  And  when  the  Lord  ^saw 
that  he  turned  aside  to  see,  God 
called  unto  him  out  of  the  midst 
of  the  ■''bush,  and  said,  ^Mo'ses, 
Md'.se.s.  And  he  said.  Here  am  1. 

5  And  he  said,  '^•^DraAV  not  nigh 
hither:  ^put  off  thy  ^'shoes  from 
off  thy  feet,  for  the  place  where- 
on thou  standest  is  holy  ground. 

6  Moreover  he  said,  I  am  the 
'God  of  thy  father,  the  God  of 
A'bra-ham,  the  God  of  I'saac, 
and  the  God  of  Ja'cob.  And 
''Mo'se.s  hid  his  face;  for  he  was 
afraid  to  look  upon  God. 

7  T[  And  the  '"Lord  said,  I 
have  surely  seen  the  '^affliction  of 
my  people  which  are  in  E'gypt, 
and  have  heard  their  "cry  by 


reason  of  their  taskmasters;  for 
I  know  their  sorrows ; 

8  And  ^I  am  come  down  to  de- 
liver them  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
*E-gyp'tian.s.  and  to  bring  them 
up  out  of  that  land  unto  a  good 
land  and  a  large,  unto  a  land 
flowing  with  '^milk  and  ^'honey; 
unto  the  place  of  the  'Ca'naan- 
Ites,  and  the  "Hit'tltes,  and  the 
"Am'or-Ites,  and  the  ""Per'iz 
zites,  and  the  Hi'vites,  and  the 
■^Jeb'u-sltes. 

9  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
"cry  of  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  is 
come  unto  me:  and  I  have  also 
seen  the  ^oppression  wherewith 
the  ^E-gyp'tians  oppress  them 

10  ^Come  now  therefore,  and  I 
will  send  thee  unto  "Pha'raoh, 
that  thou  mayest  bring  forth  my 
people  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el 
out  of  E'gypt. 

11  ^  And  "Mo'.ses  *said  unto 
God,  '^•''Who  a??i  I,  that  I  should 
go  unto  "Pha'raoh,  and  '"that  I 
should  bring  forth  the  children 
of  Ls'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt  ? 

12  And  he  said,  ''Certainly  I 
''will  be  with  thee;  and  this  shall 
be  a  ''token  unto  thee,  that  I  have 
sent  thee:  When  thou  hast 
brought  forth  the  people  out  of 
E'gypt,  ye  shall  serve  God  upon 
this  'mountain. 

13  And  "Mo'.ses  ''•"said  unto 
God,  Behold,  wheji  I  come  unto 
the  children  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  shall 
say  unto  them.  The  God  of  your 
fathers  hath  sent  me  unto  you; 
and  they  shall  say  to  me.  What  is 
his  name  ?  what  shall  I  say  unto 
them  ? 

14  And  'God  *said  unto  "Mo'- 
,se.s,  n  AIM  THAT  I  AM: 
and  he  'said.  Thus  shalt  '"thou 
say  unto  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el, 
I  AM  hath  sent  me  unto  you.

12  So  the  people  were  scattered 
abroad  throughout  all  the  land 
of  'E'gvpt  to  gather  stubble  in- 
stead of  "straw. 

13  And  the  taskmasters  '"hasted 
them,  saying,  Fulfil  your  works, 
your  daily  tasks,  as  when  there 
was  "straw, 

14  And  the  officers  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  which  Fha'- 
raoh's  taskmasters  had  set  over 
them,  were  *-'"beaten,  and  de- 
manded, Wherefore  have  ye  not 
fulfilled  your  task  in  making 
Pbrick  both  yesterday  and  to 
day,  as  heretofore  ? 

15  Tl  Then  the  oHicers  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  came  and 
'cried  unto  Pha'raoh,  saying, 
Wherefore  dealest  thou  thus 
with  thy  servants  ? 

16  ''There  is  no  straw  given  un- 
to thy  servants, and  '■'"they  say  to 
us,AIake  ^brickrand,  behold, thy 
servants  are  *beaten;  but  the 
fault  is  in  thine  own  people. 

17  But  he  said,  Ye  are  idle,  ye 
are  idle:  therefore  ye  say,  Let  us 
go  atid  do  ^sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

18  Go  therefore  now,  a7id  work ; 
for  there  shall  no  "straw  be  given 
you,  '"yet  shall  ye  deliver  the 
tale  of  ^bricks. 

19  And  the  officers  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  did  see  that  they 
-were  in  evil  case,  after  it  was 
said,  Ye  shall  not  minish  ought 
from  your  ^bricks  of  your  daily 
task. 

20  t  And  they  met  "Mo'.se.g  and 
''Aar'on,  who  stood  in  the  way, 
as  they  came  forth  from  "^Pha'- 
raoh : 

21  And  they  'said  unto  them, 
'•"The  *'LoRD  look  upon  you, 
and    judge;    becau.se    ye    have 


made  our  savour  to  be  abhorred 
in  the  eyes  of  Pha'raoh,  and  in 
the  eyes  of  his  servants,  to  put  a 
sword  in  their  hand  to  slay  us. 

22  And  '^•^Mo'.se.s  returned 
unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  ''Lord, 
wherefore  hast  thou  so  evil  en- 
treated this  people  ?  why  is  it 
that  thou  hast  sent  me  ? 

23  For  since  I  came  to  Pha'- 
raoh to  speak  in  thy  name,  he 
hath  done  evil  to  this  people; 
neither  hast  thou  delivered  thy 
people  at  all.

see  wliat  I  will  do  to  "Pha'raoh : 
for  with  a  strong  hand  shall  he 
let  '"them  go,  and  with  a  strong 
hand  shall  he  drive  them  out  of

"did  as  the  Lord  commanded 
them,  so  did  they. 

7  And  °Mo'§e.s  was  fourscore 
years  old,  and  '^Aar'on  fourscore 
and  three  years  old,  when  they 
spake  unto  Tha'raoh. 

8  H  And  the  ^Lord  'spake  un-

saying, 

9  When  "I'ha'raoh  shall  speak

unto  ^Aar'on,  Take  thy  "rod,

"did  so  as  the  Lord  had  com-

11  Then  Pha'raoh  also  called 
the  wise  men  and  the  ^sorcerers: 
now  the  ^magicians  of  E'gvpt, 
they  also  did  in  like  manner  with 
their  enchantments. 

12  For  they  cast  down  every 
man  his  rod,  and  they  'became

swallowed  up  their  rods. 

13  And  ^'he  hardened  *Pha'-

15  Get  thee  unto  ^Pha'raoh  in

that  they  may  serve  me  in  the

'this  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am

with  the  rod  that  is  in  mine

18  "And  the  fish  that  is  in  the

and  tliat  there  may  be  ^blood 
throughout  all  the  land  of

tlitl  he  hearken  unto  them;  as 
the  Lord  had  said. 

23  And  Phu'raoh  turned  and 
went  into  his  house,  'neither  did 
he  set  his  heart  to  this  also. 

24  And  all  the  '1^-gyp'tians 
digged  round  about  the  river  for 
water  to  drink ;  for  they  could  not 
drink  of  the  water  of  the  river. 

25  And  seven  days  were  ful- 
filled, after  that  the  Lord  had 
smitten  the  river. 

CHAPTER  8 

Frogs  are  se7U.  8  Pharaoh  asks  Moses  to 
entreat  the  Lord  for  their  removal.  12 
Moses'  prayer  answered.  16  The  dust 
is  turned  into  lice,  which  the  magicians 
could  not  do.  20  The  swarms  of  flics. 
25  Pharaoh  inclines  to  let  the  people  go, 
32  but  yet  is  hardened. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
°INIo'.ses,  Go  unto  ^-^Plia'- 
raoh,  and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Let  my  people 
go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 

2  And  if  thou  refuse  to  let  ihcm 
go,  behold,  I  ''will  smite  all  thy 
borders  with  *frogs: 

3  *'And  the  river  shall  bring 
forth  *frogs  abundantly,  which 
shall  go  up  and  come  into  thine 
house,  and  into  thy  bedchamber, 
and  upon  thy  bed,  and  into  the 
house  of  thy  servants,  and  upon 
thy     people,     and     into     thine 

ovens,  and  into  thy  'kneading- 
t  roughs: 

4  And  the  *fn)gs  .shall  come  up 
both  on  thee,  and  upon  thy  peo- 
ple, and  upon  all  thy  servants. 

5  t  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
"jNIo'.se.s,  Say  unto  ''Aar'on; 
Stretch  forth  thine  hand  with  thy 
''rod  over  the  'streams,  over  the 
rivers,  and  over  the  ponds,  and 
cause  frogs  to  come  uj)  upon  the 
land  of  'E'gypt. 

6  And  ^Aar'on  stretched  out  his 
hand  over  the  waters  of  E'gypt; 
and  the  '*'frogs  came  up,  and 
covered  the  land  of  E'gypt. 


7  And  the  ^magicians  *did  so 
with  their  'enchantments,  and 
brought  up  *frogs  upon  the  land 
of  'E'g.N'pt. 

8  H  Then  "Pha'raoh  '"called  for 
'^jMo'.ses  and  "Aar'on,  and  said, 
"Intreat  the  Lord,  that  he  may 
take  away  the  *frogs  from  me, 
and  from  my  people;  and  I  will 
let  the  people  go,  that  they  may 
do  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  "JNIo'.ses  said  unto  ^Pha 
raoh,  Glory  over  me:  when  shall 
I  "intreat  for  thee,  and  for  thy 
servants,  and  for  thy  people,  to 
destroy  the  *frogs  from  thee  and 
thy  houses,  that  they  may  re- 
main in  tlie  river  only  ? 

10  And  he  said,  To  morrow. 
And  he  said.  Be  it  according  to 
thy  word:  that  thou  mayest 
know  that  there  is  none  like  unto 
the  Lord  our  God. 

11  And  the  *frogs  shall  depart 
from  thee,  and  from  thy  houses, 
and  from  thy  servants,  and  from 
thy  people;  they  shall  remain  in 
the  river  only. 

12  And  "Mo'se.g  and  "Aar'on 
went  out  from  "Pha'raoh:  anc 
iNIo'.ses   "cried  unto  the  Lord 
because  of  the  *frogs  which  he 
had  brought  against  Pha'raoh. 

13  And  the  Lord ''did  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  Mo'.ses;  and 
the  '^frogs  died  out  of  the  houses, 
out  of  the  villages,  and  out  of 
the  fields. 

14  And  they  gathered  them  to- 
gether u[)()n  lieaps:  and  the  land 
stank. 

15  *But  when  ^Pha'raoh  saw 
that  there  was  respite,  ''•^he 
'hardened  his  "heart,  and 
'hearkened  not  unto  them;  as 
the  Lord  had  said. 

16  Tf  And  the  Lord  said  unto

the  dust  of  the  land,  that  it  may 
become  ^•"'•''lice  throughout  all 
the  land  of  E'gypt. 

17  And  they  did  so;  for  ^Aar'on 
stretched  out  his  hand  with  his 
''rod,  and  smote  the  dust  of  the 
earth,  and  it  ''^became  ^■''''  ^Hce  in 
man,  and  in  beast;  all  the  dust  of 
the  land  became  lice  throughout 
all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

18  And  the  'magicians  did  so 
with  their  'enchantments  to 
bring  forth  lice,  but  they  could 
not :  so  there  were  ^'  ^lice  upon 
man,  and  upon  beast. 

19  Then  the  magicians  said  un- 
to Pha'raoh,  This  is  the  finger 
of  ^God:  and  Pha'raoh's  ''-^heart 
was  hardened,  and  he  heark- 
ened not  unto  them;  as  the 
Lord  had  said. 

20  ^  And  the  Lord  said  imto 
''Mo'se.s,  'Rise  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  stantl  before  'Pha'- 
raoh ;  lo,  he  Cometh  forth  to  the 
water;  and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Let  my  ''people 
go,  that  they  rnay  serve  me. 

21  Else,  if  thou  wilt  not  let  my 
'^people  go,  behold,  I  Svill  send 
swarms  of  ^fics  upon  thee,  and 
upon  thy  servants,  and  upon  thy 
people,  and  into  thy  houses :  and 
the  houses  of  the  ^E-gyp'tian.s 
shall  be  full  of  swarms  of  flies, 
and  also  the  ground  whereon 
they  are. 

22  iVnd  ^I  will  sever  in  that  day 
the  land  of  ^Go'shen,  in  which 

Y  ''people  dwell,  that  no 
swarms  of  ^ flies  shall  be  there; 
to  the  end  thou  mayest  know 
that  '^I  am  the  Lord  in  the 
midst  of  the  earth. 

23  And  I  will  ^put  a  division  be- 
tween my  ''people  and  thy  peo- 
ple :  to  morrow  shall  this  ^sign  be. 

24  x\nd  the  Lord  did  so;  and 
there  came  a  giievous  swarm  of 
'flies  into  th;^  house  of  '^Pha'raoh, 
and  i7ito  his  servants'  houses, 
and  into  all  the  land  of  E'gypt: 


the  land  was  'corrupted  by  rea- 
son of  the  swarm  of  flies. 

25  Tf  And  Pha'raoh  called  for 
'^Mo'.se.s  and  for  'Aar'on,  and 
said,  "'Go  ye,  "sacrifice  to  your 
God  in  the  land. 

26  And  ''Mo'se.s  said.  It  is  not 
meet  so  to  do;  for  we  shall  sac- 
rifice the  abomination  of  the 
E'gyp'tians  to  the  Lord  our 
God;  lo,  shall  we  sacrifice  the 
abomination  of  the  E-gyp'tians 
before  tlieir  eyes,  and  will  they 
not  stone  us  ? 

27  We  will  go  three  days'  jour- 
ney into  the  wilderness,  and 
"sacrifice  to  the  Lord  our  God, 
a3  he  shall  command  us. 

28  And  T^ha'raOh  said,  '"I  will 
let  you  go,  that  ye  may  "^sacrifice 
to  the  Lord  your  God  in  the 
wilderness;  only  ye  shall  not  go 
very  far  away:  "intreat  for  me. 

29  And  '^Mo'se.s  said,  Behold,  I 
go  out  from  thee,  and  I  will  in- 
treat the  Lord  that  the  swarms 
of  'flics  may  depart  from  ''Pha'- 
raoh, from  his  servants,  and 
from  his  people,  to  morrow:  but 
let  not  Pha'raoh  deal  ''deceitfully 
any  more  in  not  letting  the  peo- 
ple go  to  sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

30  And  Mo'.se.s  went  out  from 
Pha'raoh,  and  ^intreated  the 
Lord. 

31  And  the  Lord  did  accord- 
ing to  the  '^word  of  Mo'.ses ;  and  he 
removed  the  swarms  of  flies  from 
Pha'raoh,  from  his  servants,  and 
from  his  people;  there  remained 
not  one.

saith  the  Lord  God  of  the  '^He'- 
brew.3,  Let  my  "^people  go,  that 
they  may  serve  me. 

2  For  if  thou  refuse  to  let  the  in 
go,  and  wilt  hold  them  still, 

3  Behold,  the  '^hand  of  the 
Lord  is  upon  thy  'cattle  which 
is  in  the  field,  upon  the  "horses, 
upon  the  ''asses,  ui)on  the  'cam- 
els, upon  the  oxen,  and  upon  the 
sheep :  tlure  shall  be  a  very  griev- 
ous murrain. 

4  And  the  'Lord  shall  sever  be- 
tween the  cattle  of  ''Is'ra-el  and 
the  cattle  of  E'gypt:  and  there 
shall  nothing  die  of  all  that  is  the 
children's  of  I.s'ra-el. 

5  And  the  Lord  appointed  a 
set  time,  saying.  To  morrow  the 
Lord  shall  do  this  '^thing  in  the 
land. 

6  And  the  Lord  did  that  '^thinir 
on  the  morrow,  and  all  the  'cattle 
of  E'gypt  died :  but  of  the  cattle 
of  the  children  of  '^Is'ra-el  died 
not  one. 

7  And  ''Pha'radh  sent,  and,  be- 
hold, there  was  not  one  of  the 
cattle  of  the  '^Is'ra-el-Ites  dead. 
And  the  heart  of  Pha'nioh  was 
'"^hardened,  and  he  ^did  not  let 
the  people  go. 

8  li  And  the  Lord  .said  unto 
"Mo'se.s  and  unto  '"Aar'on,  Take 
to  you  handfuls  of  ashes  of  the 
furnace,  and  let  Mo'.se.s  sprinkle 
it  toward  the  heaven  in  the  sight 
of  "Pha'raoh. 

9  And  it  shall  become  small 
dust  in  all  the  land  of  "E'gypt, 
and  shall  l)e  a  *boil  breaking 
forth  ivith  blains  upon  man,  and 
upon  'beast,  throughout  all  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

10  And  they  took  ashes  of  the 
furnace,  and  stood  before  "Pha'- 
radh ;  and  "Mo'.se.s  sprinkled  it  up 
toward  heaven;  and  it  became  a 

boil  l)reaking  forth  uu'lh  blains 
upon  man,  and  upon  beast. 


11  And  the  "magicians  could 
not  stand  before  "Mo'.se.s  because 
of  the  '"^boils;  for  the  boil  was  up- 
on the  magicians,  and  upon  all 
the  "E-gyp'tian.s. 

12  And  the  Lord  hardened  the 
'^heart  of  Pha'raoh,  and  he 
'hearkened  not  unto  them;  as  the 
Lord  had  spoken  unto  ^Id'.se.s. 

13  t  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
"Mo'.ses,  ^'Rise  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  stand  before 
"Pha'raoh,  and  say  unto  him, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  the 
'^He'brew.s,  Let  my  '^people  go, 
that  they  may  serve  me. 

14  For  I  will  at  this  time  send 
all  my  ''plagues  upon  thine  heart, 
and  upon  thy  servants,  and  upon 
thy  people;  ''that  thou  mayest 
know  that  there  is  none  like  me 
in  all  the  earth. 

15  For  now  I  will  stretch  out 
my  hand,  that  I  may  smite  thee 
and  thy  "people  with  "pestilence; 
and  thou  shalt  be  cut  off  from 
the  earth. 

16  And  in  very  deed  *for  this 
'cause  have   "I  "raised  thee  up, 
for  to  shew  ^in  thee  my  power; 
and  that  my  name  may  be  de 
clared  throughout  all  the  earth 

17  As  yet  '"exaltest  thou  thyself 
against  my  '^people,  that  thou 
wilt  not  let  them  go  ? 

18  Behold,  to  morrow  about 
this  time  I  will  cause  it  to  rain  a 
very  grievous  ^hail,  such  as  hath 
not  been  in  E'gypt  since  the 
foundation  thereof  even  unti' 
now. 

19  Send  therefore  now,  and 
gather  thy  cattle,  and  all  that 
thou  hast  in  the  field;  for  upon 
every  man  and  'beast  which  shall 
be  found  in  the  field,  and  shall 
not  be  brought  home,  the  ^hail 
shall  come  down  upon  them,

God 


of  the  Lord  among  the  servants 
of  Pha'raoh  made  his  servants 
and  his  cattle  flee  into  the 
houses : 

21  And  he  that  '^regarded  not 
the  word  of  the  Lord  left  his 
servants  and  his  cattle  in  the 
field. 

22  Tf  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
"Mo'.s&s,  Stretch  forth  thine 
hand  toward  heaven,  that  there 
may  be  ^•'^•''hail  in  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  upon  man,  and  upon 
'beast,  and  upon  every  herb  of 
the  field,  throughout  the  land  of 
E'gvpt. 

23  And  ''Mo'ses  stretched  forth 
his  ^rod  toward  heaven:  and  the 
Lord  sent  ''tliundcr  and  hail, 
and  the  'fire  ran  along  upon  the 
ground;  and  the  I^ord  rained 
hail  upon  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

24  So  there  was  ''•'^hail,  and  *fire 
^mingled  with  the  hail,  very 
grievous,  such  as  there  was  none 
like  it  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt 
since  it  l)ecame  a  nation. 

25  And  the  ''•''hail  smote 
throughout  all  the  land  of  J'^gypt 
all  that  was  in  the  field,  both 
'man  and  '^beast;  and  the  hail 
smote  every  herb  of  the  field, 
and  brake  every  tree  of  the  field. 

26  Only  in  the  land  of  '^Go'- 
shen,  where  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el  were,  was  there  no  '•''hail. 

27  Tl  And  'Pha'raoh  '"sent,  ami 
called  for  M6'.se,s  and  Aar'on, 
'and  said  unto  them,  "'"-pI  have 
j*sinned  this  time:  the  ''Lord  is 
jrighteous,  and  I  and  my  people 
are  wicked. 

28  ^Intreat  the  Lord  **(for  it  is 
enoui'-h)  tliat  there  be  no  more 
hnightv  ''thunderings  and  ''hail; 
land  1  will  let  you  go,  and  ye  shall 
stay  no  longer. 

I  29  And  Mouses  said  unto  him, 


As  soon  as  I  am  gone  out  of  the 
city,  I  will  spread  abroad  my 
hands  unto  the  Lord;  and  the 
thunder  shall  cease,  neither  shall 
there  be  any  more  hail;  'that 
thou  mayest  know  how  that  the 
earth  is  the  "Lord's. 

30  But  as  for  thee  and  thy  serv- 
ants, I  know  that  ye  ^•'"will  not 
yet  fear  the  Lord  God. 

31  And  the  ^flax  and  the  •'^bar- 
ley was  smitten:  for  the  barley 
was  in  the  ear,  and  the  flax  hvas 
boiled. 

32  But  the  ^wheat  and  the  ^rie 
were  not  smitten :  for  they  were 
not  grown  up. 

33  And  Mo'.se.s  went  out  of  the 
ciry  from  Pha'raoh,  and  ^spread 
abroad  his  hands  unto  the 
Lord:  and  the  "thunders  and 
''hail  ceased,  and  the  ''rain  was 
not  poured  upon  the  earth. 

34  And  when  Pha'raoh  saw 
that  the  ''rain  and  the  ''hail  an:l 
the  "thunders  were  ceased,  ''•''he 
sinned  yet  more,  and  'hardened 
his  heart,  he  and  his  servants. 

35  And  the  heart  of  Pha'raoh 
was  'hardened,  ''neither  would 
he  let  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  go; 
as  the  Lord  had  spoken  by 
Mo'§es.

4  Else,  if  thou  refuse  to  let  my

thy  ^coast: 

5  And  '-'"they  shall  cover  the

be  able  to  see  the  earth :  and  they 
shall  eat  the  residue  of  that

eth  unto  you  from  the  "hail,  and 
shall  eat  every  tree  Avhich  grow- 
eth  for  you  out  of  the  field  : 

6  Ami  '"'they  shall  fill  thy

thy  fathers,  nor  thy  fathers'  fa- 
thers have  seen,  since  the  day 
that  they  were  upon  the  eartli 
unto  this  day.  And  he  turned 
himself,  and  went  out  from 
'Pha'raoh. 

7  And  Pha'radh's  servants  said 
unto  him,  How  long  shall  this 
man  ])e  a  snare  unto  us  ?  "let  the 
men  go,  that  they  may  serve  the 
EoRD  their  God:  knowest  thou 
not  yet  diat  E'gypt  is  destroyed  ? 

8  And  "Md'.se.s  and  ^Aar'on 
were  brought  again  unto  ''Pha'- 
raoh:  and  he  said  unto  them, 
Go,  serve  the  Lord  your  God: 
but  who  are  they  that  shall  go  ? 

9  And  «Mo'.se.s"said,  We  will  go 
with  cur  young  and  with  our  old, 
with  our  sons  and  with  our 
daughters,  with  our  flocks  and 
with  our  herds  will  we  go;  for  we 
must  hold  a  ^feast  unto  the 
Lord. 


10  And  he  said  unto  them,  Let 
the  Lord  be  so  with  you,  as  I 
will  let  you  go,  and  your  little  ones 
look  to  if;  for  evil  w  before  you. 

11  Not  so:  go  now  ye  that  arc 
men,  and  serve  the  Lord;  for 
that  ye  did  desire.  And  they 
were  ^driven  out  from  Pha'- 
raoh's  presence. 

12  \  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
''Mo'.se.s,  Stretch  out  thine  hand

mighty  strong  west  ^'^wind, 
which  took  away  the  "locusts, 
and  cast  them  into  the  ^Red  sea; 
there  remained  not  one  locust  in 
all  the  ^coasts  of  E'gypt. 

20  But  the  Lord  hardened 
"Pha'rauh's  '"heart,  so  that  he 
'^would  not  let  the  children  of 

Ls'ra-el  go. 

21  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
^Mo'.ses ,  Stretch  out  thine  hand 
toward  heaven,  that  there  may 
be  ^darkness  over  the  land  of 
''E'gypt,  ^even  darkness  which 
may  be  felt. 

22  And  'Mo'.se.s  stretched  forth 
his  hand  toward  heaven;  and 
there  was  a  thick  ^•'•■''darkness  in 
all  the  land  of ''E'gypt  three  days: 

23  They  saw  not  one  another, 
neither  rose  any  from  his  place 
for  three  days:  but  all  the  chil- 
dren of  'Is'ra-el  had  light  in  their 
dwellings. 

24  Tf  And  ''Pha'raoh  called  unto 
^JNIo'.se.s,  and  said.  Go  ye,  serve 
the  Lord;  only  let  your  flocks 
and  your  herds  be  stayed:  let 
your  little  ones  also  go  with  you. 

25  And  'M5'§e.§  said,  Thou 
must  give  us  also  sacrifices  and 
burnt  ^offerings,  that  we  may  sac- 
rifice unto  the  Lord  our  God. 

26  Our  cattle  also  shall  go  with 
us;  there  shall  not  an  hoof  be 
left  behind ;  for  thereof  must  we 
take  to  serve  the  Lord  our  God; 
and  we  know  not  with  what  we 
must  serve  the  Lord,  until  we 
come  thither. 

27  Tf  But  the  Lord  hardened 
''Pha'raoh's  ''heart,  and  he 
''would  not  let  them  go. 


28  And  Tha'raoh  said  unto 
him,  'Get  thee  from  me,  take

more;  for  in  that  day  thou  seest

at  the  "door  of  his  house  until

23  For  the  Lord  will  pass

blood  upon  the  lintel,  and  on

pass  over  the  "door,  and  will  not

unto  your  houses  to  smite  "^yuu. 

24  And  ye  shall  observe  "this 
thing  for  an  '^ordinance  to  thee 
and  to  thy  sons  for  ever. 

25  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  ye  be  come  to  the  land 
which  the  Lord  will  give  you, 
according  as  he  hath  promised, 
that  ye  shall  keep  this  ''service. 

26  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  your  'children  shall  say 

unto  you,  What  mean  ye  by  this 
''service  ? 

27  That  "ye  shall  "say.  It  is  the 
sacrifice  of  the  Lord's  ''pass- 
over,  who  passed  over  the  houses 
of  the  children  of  ''I.s'ra-el  in 
^'g.VPt»  ^^'hen  he  "smote  the 
E-gvp'tians,  and  delivered  our 
houses.  And  the  people  bowed 
the  head  and  '^'worshipped. 

28  And  the  children  of  I.s'ra-el 
went  away,  and  -"did  as  the 
Lord  had  commanded  Mo'se.s 
and  Aar'on,  so  did  they. 

29  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
at  midnight  the  Lord  "smote  all 
the  2'' ^firstborn  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  from  the  firstborn  of 
''Pha'ra5h  that  sat  on  his  throne 
unto  the  firstborn  of  the  "captive 
that  was  in  the  dungeon;  and  all 
the  firstborn  of   "cattle. 

30  And  "Pna'raoh  rose  up  in 
the  night,  he,  and  all  his  serv- 
ants, and  all  the  lil-gyp'tians; 
and  there  was  a  great  "^cry  in 
E'gypt;    '^for   there   was   not    a 


house  where  there  was  not  one 
dead. 

31  1[  «And  °he  called  for  'Uo'- 
ses  and  ^'Aar'on  by  night,  and 
said.  Rise  up,  and  ''get  you  forth 
from  among  my  people,  l^oth  ye 
and  the  children  of  'Ls'ra-el;  and 
go,  serve  the  Lord,  as  ye  have 
said. 

32  Also  take  your  flocks  and 
your  herds,  as  ye  have  said,  and 
''be  gone;  and  'bless  me  also 

33  And  the  'E-gyp'tian.3  were

they  might  send  them  out  of  the

35  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
did  according  to  the  word  of 
Mo'se.s;  and  they  ''•"•^borrowed

they  prepared  for  themselves 
any  victual. 

40  Tf  Now  the  sojourning  of  the 
children  of  "'Ls'ra-el,  who  dwelt 

E'gvpt,  was   ^four  hundred 
and  thirty  years. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  the  ^four  hundred  and 
thirty  years,  even  the  selfsame 
day  it  came  to  pass,  that  all  the 
hosts  of  the  Lord  went  out  from 
the  land  of  E'gypt. 

42  It  is  a  night  to  be  much  ob- 
served unto  the  Lord  for  bring- 
ing them  out  from  the  land  of 
E'gypt:  this  is  that  night  of  the 
Lord  to  be  observed  of  all  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el  in  their 
generations. 

43  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
]\Id'se.s  and  Aar'on,  This  is  the 
ordinance  of  the  ^passover: 
There  shall  no  ^' ^stranger  eat 
thereof : 

44  But  every  man's  '^servant 
that  is  bought  for  "money,  when 
thou  hast  '^circumcised  him,  then 
shall  he  eat  thereof. 

45  A  ^■'^foreigner  and  an  *hired 
servant  shall  not  eat  thereof. 

46  In  one  bouse  shall  'it  be  eat- 
n;  thou  shalt  not  carry  forth 

ought  of  the  flesh  abroad  out  of 
the  house;  ^neither  shall  ye 
break  a  ''bone  thereof. 

47  All  the  congregation  of  Is'- 
ra-el  shall  keep  'it. 

48  And  when  a  'stranger  shall 
sojourn  with  thee,  and  will  keep 
the  'passover  to  the  Lord,  let  all 
his  males  be  '^circumcised,  and 
then  let  him  come  near  and  keep 
it;  and  ^he  shall  be  as  one  that  is 
born  in  the  land:  for  no  uncir- 
cumcised  person  shall  eat  there- 
of. 

49  One  '•'law  shall  be  to  him 
that  is  homeborn,  and  unto  the 


'stranger  that  sojourneth  among 
you. 

50  Thus  ^xlid  all  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el;  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo'ses  and  Aar'on,  so 
did  they. 

51  And  it  came  to  pass  the  self- 
same day,  that  the  Lord  did 
bring  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt  by  their 
^"armies. 

CHAPTER  13 

The  firstborn  are  to  be  sanctified  to  God.  3 
2'he  memorial  of  the  passover  is  com- 
manded. 11  The  firstlings  of  beasts  are 
to  be  set  apart.  17  The  Israelites  go  out 
of  Egypt,  and  carry  Joseph's  bones  with 
them.  20  Tliey  come  to  Etham.  21  God 
guides  them  by  a  pillar  of  a  cloud,  and  a 
pillar  of  fire. 

AND  the   Lord  spake   unto 
"jNIo'se.s,  saying, 

2  ''■ '^Sanctify  unto  me  all  the 
''firstborn,  whatsoever  openeth 
the  womb  among  the  children  of 
'^  Ls'ra-el,  both  of  man  and  of 
beast:  it  is  mine. 

3  Tf  And  ''Mo'.se.s  said  unto  the 
people,  'Remember  this  day,  in 
which  ye  came  out  from  ^E'gypt, 
out  of  the  house  of  bondage;  for 
by  strength  of  hand  the  ''Lord 
brought  you  out  from  this  place 
there  shall  no  'leavened  'bread 
be  eaten. 

4  This  day  came  ye  out  in  the 
^month  *A'bib. 

5  And  it  shall  be  when  the 
Lord  shall  bring  thee  into  the 
'land  of  the  '"Ca'naan-ites,  and 
the  "Hit'tltes,  and  the  "Am'or- 
ites,  and  the  ^Hl'vites,  and  the 
^Jeb'u-sltes,  which  he  '^■*sware 
unto  thy  fathers  to  give  thee,  a 
land  flowing  with  'milk  and 
"honey,  that  thou  shalt  keep 
"this  service  in  this  '  •  '^month. 

6  "'Seven  days  thou  shalt  eat 
unleavened  bread,  and  in  the 
seventh  day  shall  be  a  ^-  ^feast  to 
the  Lord.

the  way  of  the  land  of  the  ^Phi- 
lis'tine.s,  although  that  ^LXls  near; 
for  God  said,  Lest  perad venture 
the  people  ^repent  when  they 
see  ^war,  and  they  return  to 
E'gypt: 

18  But  °God  led  the  ''people 
about,  ihrough  the  way  of  the 
wilderness  of  the  '^Red  sea:  and 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  up 
^harnessed  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt. 

19  And  '^'Mo'.se§  took  the  bones 
of  ^Jo'.seph  with  him:  for  he  had 
straitly  'sworn  the  children  of 
"Ig'ra-el,  saying,  God  will  surely 
visit  you;  and  ye  shall  carry 
up  my  bones  away  hence  with 
you. 

20  II  And  "they  took  their  jour- 
ney from  ''Suc'coth,  and  en- 
camped in  "''E'tham,  in  the 
edge  of  the  wilderness. 

21  And  the  'Lord  went  before 
them  by  day  in  a  ^•'pillar  of  a 
cloud,  to  lead  them  the  way;  an( 
by  night  in  a  pillar  of  fire,  to  give 
them  light;  to  go  by  day  anc 
night : 

22  He  took  not  away  ^-Hhe  pil 
hir  of  the  cloud  by  day,  nor  the 
pillar  of  fire  by  night,  ]rom  be- 
fore the  people.

AND  the  "Lord  ''spake  unto 
'^Mo'ses,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  chiklren  of 
''Is'ra-el,  that  they  turn  and  en- 
camp before  ^Pl'-ha-hl'roth,  be- 
tween ^]Mig'dol  and  the  ^sea, 
over  against  ''Ba'al-ze'phon :  be- 
fore it  shall  ye  encamp  by  the 
sea. 

3  For  ^Pha'raoh  will  say  of  the 
children  of  ''I.s'ra-el,  They  are 
entangled  in  the  land,  the  wil- 
derness hath  shut  them  in. 

4  ^And  ^I  will  harden  Tha'- 
raoh's  'heart,  that  he  shall  follow 
after  them;  and  '"I  will  be  hon- 
oured upon  Pha'raoh,  and  upon 
all  his  host;  that  the  "'"E-gyp'- 
tian.s  ^may  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord.  And  they  did  so. 

5  T[  And  it  was  told  the  *king 
of  E'gypt  that  the  people  fled: 
'and  the  "heart  of  ^Pha'raoh  and 
of  his  servants  was  *• 'turned 
against  the  people,  and  they 
said,  Why  have  we  done  this, 
that  we  h&,ve  let  ^T.s'ra-el  go 
from  serving  us  ? 

6  And  *he  made  ready  his 
"chariot,  and  took  his  "'people 
with  him : 

7  And  %e  took  six  hundred 
chosen  ''chariots,  and  all  the 
chariots  of  ^E'gypt,  and  cap- 
tains over  every  one  of  them. 

8  And  the  Lord  hardened  the 
heart    of    ^Pha'raoh    ^king    of 

E'gypt,  and  he  pursued  after  the 
children  of  "I.s'ra-el:  and  the 
children  of  I.s'ra-el  went  oi't  with 
an  high  hand. 

9  But  the  ^E-gvp'tians  pursued 
after  them,  all  the  ^horses  and 
chariots  of  "Pha'raoh,  and  his 
^horsemen,  and  his  '^army,  and 
overtook  them  encamping-  by  the 


lifted  up  their  eyes,  and,  be- 
hold, the  E-gyp'tian§  marched 
after  them;  and  they  were  sore 
"•''afraid:  and  the  children  of  Ls'- 
ra-el  ''^cried  out  unto  the  Lord. 

11  And  *-'they  '"said  unto  Mo'- 
■ses,  "Because  there  were  no 
"gra'^'^es  in  E'gypt,  hast  thou 
taken  us  away  to  ^die  in  the 
wilderness  ?  wherefore  hast 
thou  dealt  thus  with  us,  to 
carry  us  forth  out  of  E'gypt  ? 

12  ^-"'Is  not  this  the  word  that 
we  did  tell  thee  in  E'gypt,  say- 
ing. Let  us  alone,  that  we  may 
serve  the  F-gyp'tian.s  ?  For  '^it 
It  ad  been  better  for  us  to  serve  the 
E-gyp'tian.s,  than  that  we  should 
die  in  the  wilderness. 

13  1  And^'^Mo'se.s  said  unto 
the  people,  *-'Fear  ye  not,  stand 
still,  and  see  the  ".salvation  of  the 
"Lord,  which  he  will  shew  to 
you  to  day:  for  the  £-gyp'tian§ 
whom  ye  have  seen  to  day,  ye 
shall  see  them  again  no  more

14  The  ''Lord  shall  "'fight  for 
you,  and  ye  shall  hold  your 
peace. 

15  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'.se.s,  ^Wherefore  ^'^criest 
thou  unto  me?  speak  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  go 
forward : 

16  But  lift  thou  up  thy  "rod, 
and  stretch  out  thine  hand  over 
the  *sea,  and  divide  it:  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  go  on 
dry  ground  through  the  midst  of

17  And  I,  behold,  I  will  harden 
the  '^hearts  of  the  '^E-gyp'tians

I  have  gotten  me  honour  upon 
Pha'raoh,  upon  his  chariots,  and 
upon  his  "horsemen. 

19  If  And  the  *angel  of  'God, 
which  went  before  tiie  camp  of 
I.s'ra-el,  removed  and  went  be- 
hind them;  and  the  '•^pillar  of 
the  cloud  went  from  before  their 
face,  and  stood  behind  them: 

20  And  ^it  came  between  the 
camp  of  the  "^E-gyp'tians  and 
the  camp  of  Ls'ra-el;  and  it  was 
a  cloud  and  darkness  to  them, 
but  it  gave  light  by  night  to  these : 
so  that  the  one  came  not  near  the 
other  all  the  night. 

21  And  iMo'.ses  stretched  out 
his  hand  over  the  "sea;  and  the 
Lord  'caused  the  sea  to  go  hack 
by  a  strong  east  '"•"wind  all  that 
night,  and  made  the  sea  dry 
land,  and  the  waters  were 
divided. 

22  And  the  children  of  "Is'ra-el 
went  into  the  midst  of  the  ^sea 
ui)on  the  dry  ground:  and  the 
waters  ivere  a  wall  unto  them  on 
their  right  hand,  and  on  their 
left. 

23  T[  And  the  '^E-gyp'tians  pur- 
sued, and  went  in  after  them  to 
the  midst  of  the  *sea,  even  all 
Pha'raoh's  horses,  his  chariots, 
and  his  ''horsemen. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in 
the  morning  ^' 'watch  the  Lord 
'looked  unto  the  host  of  the 
f^-gyp'tian,s  through  the  ^pillar 
of  fire  and  of  the  cloud,  and 
^•'troubled  the  host  of  the 
E-gyp'tian.s. 

25  And  took  off  their  'chariot 
Avheels,  that  they  drave  them 
heavily:  "so  that  the  E-gyp'tians 
said,  Let  us  flee  from  tiie  face  of 
Ts'ra-el;  for  the  Lord  "fightcth 
for  them  against  the  E-gyp'- 
tians. 


26  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
INIo'.ses,  Stretch  out  thine  hand 
over  the  ''sea,  that  the  waters 
may  come  again  upon  the 
''E-gyp'tian.s,  upon  their  char- 
iots, and  u})on  their  ^horsemen. 

27  And  Mo'.se.s  stretched  forth 
his  hand  over  the  ''sea,  and  the 
sea  returned  to  his  strength 
when  the  morning  appeared; 
and  the  Ivgyp'tian.s  fled  against 
it;  and  the  Lord  overthrew  the 
"'E-gyp'tian.s  in  tiie  midst  of  the 
sea. 

28  And  the  waters  returned, 
and  covered  the  chariots,  and 
the  ''horsemen,  and  all  the  "'host 
of  Pha'raoh  that  came  into  the 
sea  after  them;  there  remained 
not  so  much  as  one  of  them. 

29  But  the  children  of  "Is'ra-el 
walked  upon  dry  land  in  the 
midst  of  the  *sea ;  and  the  waters 
were  a  wall  unto  them  on  their 
right  hand,  and  on  their  left. 

30  Thus  the  ^Lord  saved  Ls'- 
ra-el  that  day  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  E-gyp'tians ;  and  Is'ra-el  saw 
the  E-gyp'tian.s  "'dead  upon  the 
sea  shore. 

31  And  Is'ra-el  saw  that  "great 
work  which  the  Lord  did  upt)n 
the  "'E-gyp'tian.s:  and  the  pe()])le

"salvation:  he  is  my  God,  and  I 
will  prepare  him  an  habitation ; 
my  father's  God,  and  I  will  "ex- 
alt him. 

3  The  Lord  is  a  man  of  war: 
the  ^LoRD  is  his  name. 

4  ^Pha'raoh's  ''chariots  and  his 
'host  hath  he  cast  into  the  sea: 
his  chosen  captains  also  are 
'drowned  in  the  'Red  sea. 

5  The  depths  have  covered 
*them :  they  sank  into  the  bot- 
tom as  a  stone. 

6  Thy  right  hand,  O  Lord,  is 
become  glorious  in  "power:  thy 
right  hand,  O  Lord,  hath 
dashed  in  pieces  the  ^enemy. 

7  And  in  the  greatness  of  thine 
excellency  thou  hast  over- 
thrown them  that  rose  up 
against  thee:  thou  sentest  forth 
thy  "'wrath,  which  consumed 
them  as  stul:)ble. 

8  And  with  the  ^blast  of  thy 
nostrils  the  waters  were  gathered 
together,  the  floods  stood  up- 
right as  an  heap,  aiul  the  depths 
were  congealed  in  the  heart  of 
the  'sea. 

9  The  ^enemy  said,  I  will  pur- 
sue, I  will  overtake,  I  will  divide 
the  ^spoil;  my  lust  shall  be  satis- 
fied upon  them;  I  will  draw  my 
sword,  my  hand  shall  destroy 
them. 

10  Thou  didst  blow  with  thy 
^•"wind,  the  sea  covered  them: 
they  sank  as  ''lead  in  the  mighty 
waters. 

11  Who  is  like  unto  thee,  O 
Lord,  among  the  gods  ?  who  is 
like  "^thee,  glorious  in  holiness, 
fearfuh"?i  praises,  doing  wonders  ? 

12  Thou  stretchedst  out  thy 
right  '^hand,  *the  earth  swal- 
lowed them. 


13  Thou  in  thy  ^mercy  hast  ^led 
forth  the  people  ivhieh  thou  hast 
''redeemed:  thou  hast  guided 
them  in  thy  strength  unto  thy 
holy  habitation. 

14  The  people  shall  hear,  and 
be  ^''afraid:  sorrow  shall  take 
hold  on  the  inhabitants  of 
^"^Pal-es-tl'na. 

15  Then  the  'dukes  of  '"E'dom 
shall  be  amazed;  the  mighty 
men  of  "Mo'ab,  trembling  shall 
take  hold  upon  them;  all  the 
"inhabitants  of  Ca'naan  shall 
melt  away. 

16  Fear  and  dread  shall  fall  up- 
on them;  by  the  ^greatness  of 
thine  arm  they  shall  be  as  still  as 
a  stone;  till  thy  people  pa.ss  over, 
O  Lord,  till  the  people  pass 
over,  which  thou  hast  purchased 

17  Thou  shalt  bring  them  in 
and  plant  them  in  the  mountain 
of  thine  inheritance,  in  the  place, 
O  Lord,  which  thou  hast  made 
for  thee  to  dwell  in,  in  the 
^Sanctuary,  O  Lord,  which  thy 
hands  have  established. 

18  The  '-^LoRD  shall  reign  for 
ever  and  ever. 

19  For  the  horse  of  Pha'raoh 
went  in  with  his  chariots  and 
with  his  '-"horsemen  into  the 
"sea,  and  the  Lord  brought 
again  the  waters  of  the  sea  upon 
them;  but  the  children  of  '"Ls'- 
ra-el  went  on  dry  land  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea. 

20  \  And  *'^Mir'i-am  the 
^prophetess,  the  sister  of  ^Aar' 
on,  took  a  ^timbrel  in  her  hand 
and  all  the  women  went  out  after 
her  with  timbrels  and  with 
"dances. 

21  And  *'''Mir'l-am  answered

were  bitter:  therefore  the  name

The  Israelites  come  to  Sin.  2  They  mur-

AND  they  took  their  journey 
from  '«E'lim,  and  all  the 
congregation  uf  the  children  of 
''I.s'ra-el  came  unto  the  wilder- 
ness of  '^Sin,  which  is  between 
E'lim  and  *Srnrii,  on  the  fif- 
teenth day  of  the  second  ''month 
after  their  depai-ting  out  of  the 
land  of  '^E'gypt. 

2  And  the  whole  congregation 
of  the  children  of  ''I.s'ra-el 
''•'^murmured  against  '^Md'.ses 
and  ^Aar'on  in  the  Svilderncss : 

3  ''And  the  children  of  a.s'ra-el 
'^'said  unto  them.  Would  Ho  God 
we  had  died  by  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  in  the  land  of  E'gvpt, 
when  we  sat  by  the  flesh  pots, 
and  when  we  did  eat  'bread  to 
the  full;  for  '"-'^ye  have  brought 
us  forth  into  this  '^wilderness,  to 
kill  this  whole  asseml)ly  with

that  on  the  sixth  day  they  shall 
prepare  that  which  they  bring  in;

they  gather  daily.

foi-  he  hath  ''heard  your  ''mur- 
murings. 

10  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
''Aar'on  spake  unto  the  whole 
congregation  of  the  children  of 
''I.s'ra-el,  that  they  looked  to- 
ward the  ^wilderness,  and,  be- 
hold, the  "glory  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peared in  the  *cloud. 

11  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
"Mo'.se.s,  saying, 

12  I  have  heard  the  ''murmur- 
ings of  the  children  of  '^I.g'ra-el: 
speak  unto  them,  saying.  At 
even  ye  shall  eat  ^' 'flesh,  and  in 
the  morning  ye  shall  be  filled 
with  *bread;  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 
'•*God. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at 
even  the  ^quails  came  up,  and 
covered  the  camp:  and  in  the 
morning  the  'dew  lay  round 
about  the  ^host. 

14  And  when  the  Mew  that  lay 
was  gone  up,  behold,  upon  the 


face  of  the  wilderness  there  lay  a 
small  round  thing,  as  small  as 
the  hoar  frost  on  the  ground. 

15  And  when  the  children  of 
'^Is'ra-el  saw  it,  they  said  one  to 
another,  ^It  i?  manna :  for  they 
wist  not  what  it  was.  And  '^Mo'- 
.se.5  said  unto  them,  'This  is  the 
bread  which  the  '^•'"Lord  hath 
given  you  to  eat. 

16  This  is  the  thing  which  the 
Lord  hath  comnianded,  Gather 
of  it  every  man  acc^ording  to  his 
eating,  an  ''omer  for  every  man, 
accordiiig  to  the  number  of  your 
persons;  take  ye  every  man  for 
them  which  are  in  his  "tents. 

17  And  the  children  of  '^I.i^'ia-el 
did  so,  and  gathered,  some  more, 
some  less. 

18  And  when  they  did  '^mete  it 
with  an  omer,  ^he  that  gath- 
ered much  had  nothing  over, 
and  he  that  gathered  little  had 
no  lack;  they  gathered  every 
man  according  to  his  eating. 

19  And  ''Mo'.seg  said,  "Let  no 
man  leave  of  it  till  the  morn- 
ing. 

20  Notwithstanding  '^they 
'hearkened  not  unto  ''Mo'.seg; 
but  some  of  them  left  of  it  until 
the  morning,  and  it  bred  •'worms, 
and  stank:  and  Mo'se.s  was 
'wroth  with  them. 

21  And  they  gathered  it  every 
morning,  every  man  according 
to  his  eating:  and  when  the  sun 
waxed  hot,  it  melted. 

22  T[  Ami  it  came  to  pass,  that 
on  the  sixth  day  they  gathered 
twice  as  much  bread,  two 
omers  for  one  man:  and  all  the 
"rulers  of  the  congregation  came 
and  told  Mo'se.s. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them, 
This  is  that  which  the  IvORD 
hath  said.  To  morrow  is  the 
*'rest  of  the  holy  ^sabbath  unto

24  And  they  laid  "it  up  till  the 
morning,  as  "Md'.se.s  bade:  and 
it  -^did  not  stink,  neither  was 
there  any  worm  therein. 

25  And  "Mo'se.s  saitl,  Eat  that

there  ''went  out  some  of  the  peo- 
ple on  the  ^seventh  day  for  to 
gather,  and  they  found  none. 

28  And  the  Loud  said  unto 
"Mo'.se.s,  How  long  '^ refuse  ye  to

29  See,  for  that  the  Lokd  hath

oO  So  the  pe()})le  'rested  on  the

31  And  the  house  of  "T.s'ra-el 
called  the  name  thereof  "Man- 
na: and  it  was  like  ''coriander

was     like     wafers     viade     with

32  ^  And  '^ISIo'se.s  said,  This  is

mandeth,  Eill  an  '^omer  of  it  to  be 
kept  for  your  generations;  '■''that 
they  may  see  the  bread  where- 
with ''I  have  fed  you  in  the  wil- 
derness, when  I  l)rought  you 
forth  from  the  land  of  'E'gypt. 

33  And  ''JNIo'.se.s  said  unto 
'Aar'on,  Take  a  pot,  and  put  an 
^omer  full  of  "manna  therein, 
and  lay  it  up  before  the  Lord, 
to  be  ^'kej)t  for  your  generations. 

34  As  the  Lord  commanded 
''Mo'.ses,  so  ^Aar'on  laid  "it  up 
before  the  'Testimony,  to  be 
kept. 

35  And  the  children  of  "I.s'ra-el 
did  eat  "manna  '"forty  years,  un- 
til they  came  to  a  land  inhabited ; 
they  did  eat  manna,  until  they

chide  with  ''Md'.ses,  and  said, 
Give  us  water  that  we  may 
drink.  And  Mo'se-s  said  unto 
them,  ''Why  -chide  ye  with  me  ? 
wherefore  do  ye  ''tempt  the 
Lord  ? 

3  And  the  "peojile  thirsted  there 
for  "water;  and  the  people 
''•''murmured  ''against  '^Mo'.se.s, 
and  said,  ^Wlierefore  is  this  that 
thou  hast  brought  us  up  out  of 
^E'gypt,  to  kill  us  and  our  chil- 
dren and  our  cattle  with  thirst  ? 

4  And  ''IMo'.se.s  ^'cried  unto  the 
Lord,  saying.  What  shall  I  do 
unto  this  people  ?  they  be  al- 
most ready  to  'stone  me. 

5  And  the  Lord  "'said  unto 
''Mo'.se.s,  Go  on  before  the  peo- 
ple, and  lake  with  thee  of  the 
"•"elders  of  I§'ra-el;  and  thy 
''rod,  wherewith  thou  smotest 
the  river,  take  in  thine  hand, 
and  go. 

6  Behold,  "■'!  will  stand  before 
thee  there  upon  the  rock  in  *H6'- 
reb;  and  thou  shalt  smite  the 
rock,  and  there  'shall  come  "wa- 
ter out  of  it,  that  the  people  may 
drink.  And  !^L■)',se,s  did  so  in  the 
sight  of  the  "■''elders  of  Ls'ra-el. 

7  And  he  called  the  name  of  the 
place  Mas'sah,  and  ■^Mer'i-bah, 
because  of  the  ^chiding  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  because 
they  "tempted  the  Lord,  "'•  "^say- 
ing. Is  the  Lord  among  us,  or 
not? 

8  ^  Then  came  ^Am'a-lek,  and 
"fought  with  "Ls'ra-el  in  ^Rcph'- 
i-dim. 

9  And  "Mo'se.s  said  unto 
'^Josh'u-a,  Choose  us  out  men, 
and  go  out,  fight  with  ''Am'a- 
lek:  to  morrow  I  will  '^stand  on 
the  top  of  the  hill  with  the  'rod 
of  God  in  mine  hand. 

10  So  ^Josh'u-:V  did  as  ^Mo'.se.s 
had  said  to  him,  and  ^fought 
with    '^Ara'a-lek:    and    Md'.se.s, 


''A^r'on,  and  ^Hur  went  up  to 
the  top  of  the  hill. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"Mo'.ses  'held  up  his  hand,  that 
"•*I.s'ra-el  prevailed:  and  when 
he  let  down  his  hand,  '^Am'a-lek 
prevailed. 

12  But  *i\Io'.se§'  hands  ^vere 
heavy;  and  they  took  a  stone, 
and  put  it  under  him,  and  he  sat 
thereon;  and  '^Aar'on  and  'Hur 
stayed  up  his  hands,  the  one  on 
the  one  side,  and  the  other  on 
the  other  side;  and  *his  hands 
were  steady  until  the  going  down 
of  the  sun 

13  "And  '^Josh'u-a  discomfited 
'^Am'a-lek  and  his  people  with 
the  edge  of  the  ^sword 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
''Mo'.se.s,  W^rite  this  for  a  '"me 
morial  in  a  "book,  and  rehearse 
it  in  the  ears  of  ''Josh'u-a:  for  I 
will  utterly  "put  out  the  remem 
brance  of  ''Am'a-lek  from  under 
heaven. 

15  And  Mo'.se.s  built  an  *■ 'altar 
and  called  the  name  of  it  Je- 
ho'vah-nis'sl: 

16  For  *he  said,  Because  the 
Lord  hath  'sworn  that  the

a-lek  from  generation  to  gener- 
ation.

the  name  oi  the  one  was  'Ger'- 
shom;  for  he  said,  I  have  been 
^an  ^aUen  in  a  strange  land : 

4  And  the  name  of  the  other 
was  'E-li-e'zer;  for  tlio  ^God  of 
my  father,  said  he,  was  mine 
help,  and  delivered  me  from  the 
sword  of  '"Pha'raoh: 

5  And  "Jeth'ro,  ^Mo'.ses'  '^fa- 
ther  in  law,  came  with  his  'sons 
and  his  *wife  unto  IM5'.ses  into 
the  wilderness,  where  he  en- 
camped at  the  "mount  of  God: 

6  And  "he  said  unto  '^Mo'.se.s,  I 
thy  '^father  in  law  Jeth'ro  am 
come  unto  thee,  and  thy  ''wife, 
and  her  two  'sons  with  her. 

7  And  "^Mo'-scs  went  out  to  meet 
his  ^father  in  law,  and  did  "obei- 
sance, and  ^kissed  him ;  and  they 
asked  each  other  of  thHr  welfare; 
and  they  came  into  the  *tent. 

8  And  '^Mo'.se.s  told  his  "father 
in  law  all  that  the  Lord  had 
done  unto  '"Pha'raoh  and  to  the 

E-gyp'tian-s  for  'Ls'i-a-el's  sake, 
and  all  the  travail  that  had  come 
upon  them  by  the  way,  and  how 
the  *LoRD  delivered  them. 

9  And  "Jcth'ro  rejoiced  for  all 
the  goodness  which  the  *Lord 
had  done  to  'l.s'ra-el,  whom  he 
had  delivered  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  '■£-gyp'tian.s. 

10  And  Jt  th'ro  said,  'Blessed  be 
the  *LoRD,  who  hath  dehvered 
you  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
''E-gyp'tian.s,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of  "'Pha'radh,  who  hath 
delivered  the  people  from  under 
the  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tian.s. 

11  Now  I  "know  that  the 
'Lord  is  greater  than  all  gods: 
"for  in  the  thing  wherein  they 
dealt  })roudly  ^he  tvas  above 
them. 

12  And  Jeth'ro,  INIo'.ses'  fa- 
ther in  law,  took  a  "'burnt  offer- 
ing; and  sacrifices  for  God:  and 


■''A^r'on  came,  and  all  the  ^' ^el- 
ders of  Ls'ra-el,to  "eat  bread  with 
Mo'.se.s'  father  in  law  before  God. 

13  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  morrow,  that  ^■'^Mo'se.s  sat 
to  '^' "judge  the  people:  and  the 
people  stood  by  ]\Ir/.se.s  from  the 
morning  unto  the  evening. 

14  And  when  "jNIcVscs'  ^father 
in  law  saw  all  that  he  did  to  the 
]:)eople,  he  ^said.  What  is  this 
thing  that  thou  doest  to  the  peo- 
ple ?  why  sittest  thou  thyself 
alone,  and  all  the  people  stand  by 
thee  from  morning  unto  even  ? 

15  And  *j\Io'.se.s  said  unto  his 
''father  in  law,  Because  the  peo- 
ple come  unto  me  ''to  enquire 
of  God : 

16  When  they  have  a  "matter, 
they  come  unto  me;  and  "•''I 
judge ''between  ''one  and  another, 
and  I  do  hiiake  them  know  the 
^statutes  of  God,  and  his  laws. 

17  And  ]\L3'.se.s'  %ther  in  law 
said  unto  him,  ^•'''The  thing  that 
thou  doest  is  not  good. 

18  ''•''Thou  wilt  surely  wear 
away,  both  thou,  and  this  people 
that  is  with  thee:  for  this  thing  is 
too  heavy  for  thee,  thou  art  not 
able  to  perform  it  thyself  alone. 

19  Hearken  now  unto  my  voice, 
'I  wall  give  thee  ^counsel,  and 
^God  shall  be  with  thee: '''"'Be 
thou  for  the  people  to  God-ward, 
that  thou  mayest  bring  the 
causes  unto  God: 

20  And  *''^thou  shalt  'teach 
them  ordinances  and  ^laws,  and 
shalt  shew  them  the  "way  where- 
in they  must  walk,  and  the 
"work  that  they  must  do. 

21  Moreover  ^thou  shalt  pro- 
vide out  of  all  the  people  able

CHAPTER  19 

The  people  come  to  Sinai.  3  God's  message 
bu  Moses  unto  the  people  from  the  mount, 
8  and  their  ansu'er  in  return.  10  The 
people  are  to  be  prepared  against  the 
third  day.  12  The  mountain  not  to  be 
touched.  16  The  presence  of  God  ufwn 
the  mount. 

IX  the  "third  ''month,  when  the 
children  of  '^Is'ra-el  were 
gone  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
''E'gyjjt,  the  same  day  came  they 
into  the  wilderness  of  ^Sl'nai. 

2  For  they  were  departed  from 
'Reph'i-dim,  and  were  come  to 
the  desert  of  ^Si'nai,  and  had 
pitched  in  the  wilderness;  and 
there  '^Ls'ra-el  camped  before 
the  mount. 

3  And  ''iNId'.se.s  went  up  unto 
God,  and  the  Lord  called  unto 
him  out  of  the  ^mountain,  say- 
ing, Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  the 
hou.se  of  Ja'cob,  and  tell  the 
children  of  '^Ls'ra-el; 

4  ''Ye  have  seen  what  I  did  unto 
the  *£-gyp'tian.s,  and  how  '-^I 
bare  you  on  'eagles'  wings,  and 
brought  you  unto  myself. 

5  Now  therefore,  "'if  ye  will 
"obey  "my  voice  indeed,  and 
keep  my  ^covenant,  'then  ''ye 
shall  be  a  peculiar  treasure  unto 
me  above  all  people:  for  all  the 
*earth  w'mine: 

6  And  '"ye  shall  be  unto  me  a 
"kingdom  of  "priests,  and  an 
"'holy  nation.      ^These  are  the 


words  which  thou  shalt  speak 
unto  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el. 

7  Tf  And  ''jNIo'.ses  came  and 
called  for  the  ^elders  of  the  peo- 
ple, and  laid  before  their  faces 
all  the.se  ^words  which  the  Lord 
commanded  him. 

8  And  all  the  people  answered 
together,  and  said,  "All  that  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  *we  will 
do.  And  '^JNIo'.ses  returned  the 
words  of  the  people  unto  the 
Lord. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
•^jNId'.se.s,  Lo,  ''I  come  unto  thee 
in  a  thick  ^-^cloud,  that  the  peo- 
ple may  hear  when  I  speak  with 
thee,  and  believe  thee  for  ever. 
And  Mo'.ses  told  the  words  of  the 
people  unto  the  Lord. 

10  Tf  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'.ses,  Go  unto  the  people,  and 
"sanctify  them  to  day  and  to  mor- 
row, and  let  them  *'''wash  their 
clothes, 

11  And  be  ready  against  the 
third  day:  for  the  third  day  the 
Lord  will  come  down  in  the 
sight  of  all  the  people  upon 
mount  'Si'nai. 

12  And  thou  shalt  set  bounds 
unto  the  people  round  about, 
saying,  'Take  heed  to  yourselves, 
that  yr  go  not  \\\)  into  the  mount, 
or  touch  the  border  of  it:  ''^who- 
soever toucheth  the  mount  shall 
be  surely  'put  to  "'death : 

13  "^There  shall  not  an  hand 
touch  it,  but  he  shall  surely  be 
"stoned,  or  shot  through;  wheth- 
er it  he  beast  or  man,  it  shall 
'•"'not  live:  when  the  ^trumpet

that  stn  defiles.  To  keep  thi.s  preat  truth  constantly  before 
the  Israelites,  specific  ordinances  concerning  washings 
were  given  to  Moses.  The  purpose  was  to  teach,  by  this

14  T[  And  ^jNIo'.se.s  went  down 
from  the  'mount  unto  the  people, 
and  ^sanctified  the  people;  and 
they  ''washed  their  clothes. 

15  And  he  said  unto  the  people. 
Be  ready  against  the  third  day: 
'come  not  at  your  wives. 

16  T[  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  third  day  in  the  morning, 
that  '^there  were  ^thunders,  and 
'lightnings,  and  a  "thick  ^cloud 
upon  the  'mount,  and  the  voice 
of  the  ^trumpet  exceeding  loud ; 
so  that  all  the  people  that  tvas  in 
the  camp  ^trembled. 

17  And  ^JMo'.scs  brought  forth 
the  people  out  of  the  camp  to 
"'meet  with  God ;  and  they  stood 
at  the  nether  part  of  the  'mount. 

18  And  movmt  'Si'nai  was  alto- 
gether on  a  smoke,  because  the 
'Lord  descended  upon  it  in 
^fire:  and  the  smoke  thereof  as- 
cended as  the  smoke  of  a  fur- 
nace, and  ^the  whole  mount 
^quaked  greatly. 

19  And  when  the  voice  of  the 
"trumpet  sounded  long,  and 
waxed  louder  and  louder,  *Mo'- 
se.s  spake,  and  God  answered 
him  by  a  '^voice. 

20  And  the  Lord  came  down 
upon  mount  ''Si'nai,  on  the  top 
of  the  mount:  and  the  Lord 
'^called  M5',se.s  up  to  the  top  of

that  the  'poor  of  thy  people  may 
eat:  and  what  they  leave  the

CHAPTER  24 

Moses  is  called  up  into  the  mountain.  3 
The  people  promise  obedience.  4  Moses 
builds  an  altar,  and  tivelve  pillars.  6  He 
sprinkles  the  blood  of  the  covenant.  9 
The  glonj  of  God  appears.  14  Aaron  and 
Hur  have  the  charge  of  the  people.  l'> 
Moses  goes  into  the  7nountain,  where  lie 
continues  forty  days  and  forty  nights. 

AND  he  said  unto  "Mo'.^es, 
Come  up  unto  the  Lord, 
thou,  and  "Aar'on,  *Na'dab, 
and  'A-!)l'hu,  and  '^seventy  of 
the  *• 'elders  of  Is'ra-el;  and 
''worship  ye  afar  off. 

2  And  '"Mo'ses  alone  ''shall 
come  near  the  Lord:  but  they 
shall  not  come  nigh;  neither 
shall  the  people  go  up  with  him. 

3  ^  And  "^Mo'seg  came  and  told 
the  people  all  the  w^ords  of  the 
Lord,  and  all  the  judgments: 
and  all  the  'people  answered 
with  one  voice,  and  said,  'AH  tlie 
'words  \\iiich  the  Lord  hath 
said  'will  we  do. 

4  And  "^Nlr/se^  wrote  all  the 
''words  of  the  Lord,  and  rose  up 
earlv  in  the  morning,  and  build- 


ed  an  '"altar  under  the  hill,  and 
twelve  "pillars,  according  to  the 
twelve  tribes  of  Ls'ra-el. 

5  And  he  sent  "young  men  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  of- 
fered ''burnt  '^offerings,  and  sac- 
rificed '"peace  offerings  of  oxen 
unto  the  Lord, 

6  And  «Mo'se.s  took  half  of  the 
^•'blood,  and  put  it  in  basons; 
and  half  of  the  blood  he  sprin- 
kled on  the  '"altar. 

7  And  he  took  the  l)ook  of  the 
"covenant,  and  read  in  the  audi- 
ence of  the  people :  and  they  said, 
'All  that  the  Lord  hath  said 
'will  w^e  do,  and  be  "obedient. 

8  And  "Mo'scs  took  the 
^' 'blood,  and  sprinkled  if  on  the 
people,  and  said,  Behold  the 
'blood  of  the  covmant,  which 
the  Lord  hath  made  w-ith  you 
concerning  all  these  '^vords. 

9  ^  Then  went  up  "Mo'scs,  and 
"Aar'on,  *Na'dab,  and  ^A-bl'hu, 
and  ''seventy  of  the  *■ ''elders  of 
I.s'ra-el: 

10  And  they  '"saw  the  ^God  of 
Ls'ra-el:  and  there  was  under  his 
feet  as  it  were  a  paved  w^ork  of  a 
^' ^sapphire  stone,  and  as  it  were 
the  body  of  heaven  in  his 
clearness. 

11  And  upon  the  nobles  of  the 
children  of  "Is'ra-el  he  laid  not 
his  hand:  also  they  saw  ''God, 
and  ditl  eat  and  drink. 

12  Tl  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
"^Mo'.se.s,  Come  up  to  me  into  the 
''mount,  and  l)e  there:  and  I  will

be  *hallowed,  and  his  garments, 
and  his  sons,  and  his  sons'  gar-

22  Also  thou  shalt  take  of  the 
"•'ram  the  ^fat  and  the  ^rump, 
and  the  fat  that  covereth  the  in- 
wards, and  the  ^caul  above  the 
'liver,  and  the  two  ''kidneys,  and 
the  fat  that  is  upon  them,  and

ram  of  *■' consecration: 

23  And  one  loaf  of  ^bread,  and 
one  cake  of  oiled  bread,  and  one 
'wafer  out  of  the  '^basket  of  the 
unleavened  bread  that  is  before 
the  Lord: 

24  *And  thou  shalt  put  all  in 
the  hands  of  '^Aar'on,  and  in  the 
hands  of  his  sons;  and  shalt 
wave  them  for  a  "wave  offering 
before  the  Lord. 

25  And  thou  shalt  receive  them 
of  their  hands,  and  burn  them 
upon  the  ^altar  for  a  ''Inirnt  of- 
fering, for  a  sweet  savour  before 
the  Lord  :  it  is  an  offering  made 
by  fire  unto  the  Lord. 

26  And  thou  shalt  take  the 
breast  of  the  ram  of  ''Aar'on's 
'consecration,  and  wave  it  for  a 
''wave  offering  before  the  Lord: 
and  "it  shall  be  thy  part. 

27  And  thou  shalt  sanctify  the 
breast  of  the  "wave  offering,  and 
the  ^shoulder  of  the  "'heave  of- 
fering, which  is  waved,  and 
which  is  heaved  up,  of  the  ram 
of  the  ^consecration,  ei^en  of 
^that  which  is  for  Aar'on,  and  of 
that  which  is  for  his  sons : 

28  And  ''it  shall  be  Aar'on's 
and  his  sons'  ^'by  a  statute  for 
ever  from  the  children  of  Is'ra- 
el:  for  it  is  an  '"heave  offering: 
and  it  shall  be  an  heave  offering 
from  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  of 
the  sacrifice  of  their  'peace  offer- 
ing, even  their  heave  offering 
unto  the  Lord. 

29  ^  And  the  holy  ^garments  of 
'^Aar'on  shall  be  his  sons'  after 


him,  to  be  anointed  therein,  and 
to  be  *•■' consecrated  in  them. 

30  And  that  son  that  is  priest  in 
his  stead  shall  put  them  on  ^sev- 
en days,  when  he  cometh  into 
the  'tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion to  minister  in  the  4ioly 
place. 

31  T[  And  thou  shalt  take  the 
"ram  of  the  ''consecration,  and 
seethe  his  flesh  in  the  ""holy  place. 

32  And  *''^x\ar'on  and  his  sons 
shall  eat  the  '"flesh  of  the  ram, 
and  the  ''bread  that  is  in  the 
^basket,  bi/  the  door  of  the  ^tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation. 

33  *And  they  shall  eat  ^those 
things  wherewith  the  ^atone- 
ment was  made,  to  "consecrate 
a7id  to  ''sanctify  them:  but  a 
'stranger  shall  not  eat  thereof, 
because  they  are  holy. 

34  And  if  ought  of  the  flesh  of 
the  ''consecrations,  or  of  the 
'bread,  remain  unto  the  morn- 
ing, then  ■'thou  shalt  burn  the  re- 
mainder with  fire :  it  shall  not  be 
eaten,  because  it  is  holy. 

35  *And  thus  shalt  thou  do  un- 
to '^Aar'on,  and  to  his  sons,  ac- 
cording to  all  things  which  I 
have  commanded  thee:  ''^seven 
days  shalt  thou  "consecrate 
them. 

36  And  thou  shalt  offer  every 
day  a  ^bullock  for  a  'sin  '"offer- 
ing for  ^atonement:  and  thou 
shalt  cleanse  the  "altar,  when 
thou  hast  made  an  atonement 
for  it,  and  thou  shalt  "anoint  it, 
to  ''sanctify  it. 

37  ^Seven  days  thou  shalt  make 
an  ^atonement  for  the  "altar,  and 
''sanctify  it;  and  it  shall  be  an 
altar  most  ''holy:  ^■''whatsoever 
toucheth  the  altar  shall  be  holy.

thou  shalt  ^' 'offer  upon  the  altar;

12  "When  thou  takest  the  ''sum 
of  the  chil(h-en  of  '^I.s'ra-el  after 
their  number,  then  shall  they 
give  every  man  a  '^^ ''ransom  for 
his  soul  unto  the  Lord,  when 
thou  numberest  them;  that  there 
be  no  plague  among  them,  when 
tJiou  numberest  them. 

13  ^This  ^they  shall  give,  every 
one  that  passeth  among  them 
that  are  ''numbered,  half  a 
■^shekel  after  the  shekel  of  the 
sanctuary:  (a  shekel  is  twenty 
^gerahs :)  an  half  shekel  shall  be 
the  offering  of  the  Lord. 

14  ^Evcry  one  that  passeth 
among  them  that  are  ''num- 
bered, from  twenty  years  old  and 
above,  shall  give  an  offering  un- 
to the  Lord. 

15  The  rich  shall  not  give  more, 
and  the  ''poor  shall  not  give  less 
than  half  a  "^shekel,  when  they 
give  an  offering  unto  the  Lord, 
to  make  an  'atonement  for  your 
souls. 

16  And  thou  shalt  take  the 
'atonement  ^money  of  the  chil- 
dren of  ''Is'ra-el,  and  shalt  ap- 
point it  for  the  service  of  the 
^' ^'tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion ;  that  it  may  be  a  memorial 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  be- 
fore the  Lord,  to  make  an 
atonement  for  your  souls. 

17  Tl  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
^Mo'se.s,  saying, 

18  Thou  shalt  also  make  a 
^laver  of  '"brass,  and  his  foot  also 


of  brass,  to  wash  withal:  and 
thou  shalt  put  it  between  the 
"tabernacle  of  the  congregation 
and  the  altar,  and  thou  shalt  put 
water  therein. 

19  For  "Aar'on  and  his  "sons 
shall  ^wash  their  hands  and 
their  feet  thereat: 

20  When  °they  go  into  the 
^•"tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, they  shall  ^wash  with  wa- 
ter, that  they  die  not;  or  when 
they  come  near  to  the  altar  to 
minister,  to  «burn  offering  made 
by  five  unto  the  Lord: 

21  So  "they  shall  ^'wash  their 
hands  and  their  feet,  that  they 
die  not :  and  it  shall  be  a  statute 
for  ever  to  them,  eve7i  to  him  and 
to  his  seed  throughout  their 
generations. 

22  ^  Moreover  the  Lord  spake 
unto  ^jNIo'scs,  saying, 

23  ''Take  thou  also  unto  thee 
principal  spices,  of  pure  "myrrh 
five  hundred  ^shekels,  and  of

*Be-zal'e-el  the  son  of  ''U'rl,  the 
son  of  ^Hfir,  of  the  tribe  of

that  I  am  the  IvORD  that  doth 
''•^sanctify  you. 

14  ^Ye  shall  keep  the  ^'sabbath 
therefore ;  for  it  is  holy  unto  you : 
every  one  that  ^defileth  it  shall 
surely  be  'put  to  '"death:  for 
"whosoever  doeth  antj  "work 
therein,  that  soul  shall  be  ^cut 
off  from  among  his  people. 

15  Six  days  may  "work  be  done; 
but  in  the  seventh  is  the  'sab- 
bath of  *rest,  holy  to  the  Lord: 
"whosoever  doeth  an;/  work  in

'^Is'ra-el  shall  keep  the  sabbath, 
to  observe  the  sabbath  through-

17  It  is  a  ^sign  between  me  and 
the  children  of  '^Is'ra-el  for  ever: 
for  in  six  days  the  'Lord  made

AND  when  the  "people  saw- 
that  "Mo'.seg  delayed  to 
come  down  out  of  the  '^mount, 
''•''the  people  gathered  them- 
selves together  unto  'Aar'on,  and 
said  unto  him.  Up,  ^make  us 
''gods,  which  shall  go  before  us; 
for  as  for  this  Mo'§es,  the  man 
that  brought  us  up  out  of  the 
land  of  'E'gypt,  we  wot  not  what 
is  become  of  him. 

2  And  ^Aitr'on  said  unto  them, 
Break  off  the  goklen  'earrings, 
which  are  in  the  ears  of  your 
'wives,  of  your  'sons,  and  of 
your  daughters,  and  bring  them 
unto  me. 

3  And  all  the ''  ''people  brake  off 
the  golden  'earrings  which  were 
in  their  ears,  and  brought  them 
unto  ^Aar'on. 

4  And  he  received  them  at  their 
hand,  and  '"fashioned  "it  with 
a  *graving  tool,  after  he  had 
made  it  a  "molten  "calf:  and 
''they  said  .These  be  thy  gods,  O 
Is'ra-el,  which  brought  thee  up 
out  of  the  land  of  'E'gypt. 

5  And  when  ^Aar'on  saw  it,  he 
built  an^altar  before  it;  and  Aar'- 
on  made  proclamation,  and  said. 
To  morrow  is  a  feast  to  the 
Lord. 

6  And  they  ''rose  up  early  on  the 
morrow,  and  ^offered  'burnt  of- 
ferings, and  "brought  ^peace  of-

down  to  ^eat  and  to  drink,  and 
rose  up  to  play.

est  out  of  the  land  of  *E'gypt 
have  corrupted  themselves: 

8  They  have  '^■^ ^turned  aside 
quickly  out  of  the  way  which  I 
commanded  them:  they  have 
made  them  a  "molten  ''calf,  and 
have  ''worshipped  "it,  and  have 
sacrificed  thereunto,  and  said, 
These  be  thy  gods,  O  Ls'ra-el, 
which  have  brought  thee  up  out 
of  the  land  of  'E'gypt. 

9 And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'se.s,  I  have  seen  this  people, 
and,  behold,  it  is  a  'stifi'necked 
people: 

10  Now  therefore  let  me  alone, 
that  my  "wrath  may  wax  hot 
against  them,  and  that  I  may 
"consume  them :  and  I  will  make 
of  "^tliee  a  great  nation. 

1.1  And  '^INIo'.se.s  ''l)esought  the 
Lord  his  God,  and  said.  Lord, 
why  doth  thy  "wrath  wax  hot 
against  thy  ^people,  which  thou 
hast  brought  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  'E'gypt  with  great  power, 
and  with  a  mighty  hand  ? 

12  '^■nVherefore  should  the 
''E-gyp'tian.s  speak,  and  say,  For 
mischief  did  he  bring  them  out, 
to  slay  them  in  the  mountains, 
and  to  consume  them  from  the 
face  of  the  earth  ?  Turn  from 
thy  fierce  "wrath,  and  repent  of 
this  evil  against  thy  people. 

13  '^•'Remember  'A'bnVham, 
'I'.saac,  and  *  Ls'ra-el,  thy  serv- 
ants, to  whom  thou  ''"swarest  by 
thine  own  self,  and  saidst  unto 
them,  I  will  multiply  your  "seed 
as  the  stars  of  "heaven,  and  all 
this  ''land  that  I  have  spoken  of 
will  I  give  unto  your  seed,  and 
they  shall  inherit  it  for  ever. 

14  And  the  '■''Lord  ^''repented 
of  the  evil  which  he  thought  to 
do  unto  his  people. 

15  H  And  "^Md'.se.s  turiicd,  and 
went  down  from  the"mount,  and 
the  two  '^'tables  of  the  *"■  ^te.sti- 
mony  were  in  his  hand:  the  ta- 
bles were  written  on  both  their 

14 


sides;  on  the  one  side  and  on  the 
other  were  they  written. 

16  And  the  'tables  were  the 
work  of  God,  and  the  ^  ^writing 
teas  the  writing  of  God,  graven 
upon  the  tables. 

17  And  when  ^Josh'u-a  heard 
the  noise  of  the  people  as  they 
shouted,  he  said  unto  JMo'.ses, 
There  is  a  noise  of  war  in  the 
camp. 

18  And  he  said,  It  is  not  the 
voice  of  them  that  shout  for  mas- 
tery, neither  is  it  the  voice  of 
them  that  cry  for  being  over- 
come: but  the  noise  of  them  that 
sing  do  I  hear. 

19  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  he  came  nigh  unto  the 
camp,  that  he  saw  the  "calf,  and 
the  ''dancing:  and  '"Mo'se.s'  '^an- 
ger waxed  hot,  and  he  cast  the 
'^tables  out  of  his  hands,  and 
brake  them  beneath  the  'mount. 

20  And  ^•^•"he  took  the  "calf 
which  they  had  made,  and 
'burnt  it  in  the  fire,  and  ground 
it  to  powder,  and  strawed  it  up- 
on the  water,  and  made  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  drink  of  it. 

21  And  '^Md'.se.s  said  unto 
'Aar'on,  ^What  did  this  people 
unto  thee,  that  thou  hast  brought 
so  gr(;at  a  sin  upon  them  ? 

22  And  'Aar'on  '''said,  I>(>t  not 
the  anger  of  my  lord  wax  hot: 
thou  knowest  the  people,  that 
they  are  set  on  mischief. 

23  *'^For  they  .said  unto  me. 
Make  us  gods,  which  shall  go  be- 
fore us:  for  as  for  this  ''Md'ses, 
the  man  that  brought  us  uj)  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  we  wot  not 
what  is  become  of  him. 

24  And  '■■T  said  unto  them, 
Whosoever  hath  any  gold,  let 
them  break  //  off.  So  they  gave 
//  ine:  then  I  cast  it  into  the  fire, 
and  there  came  out  this  "calf. 

25  ^  And  when  '"Md'.ses  saw 
that  the  people  xvere  ^naked ;  (for 
'Aar'on  had  made  them  naked

26  Then  '^INIo'.se.s  stood  in  the 
gate  of  the  camp,  and  said,  Who 
is  on  the  Lord's  side  ?  let  him 
come  unto  me.  And  all  the  sons 
of  '"Le'vi  gathered  themselves 
together  unto  him. 

27  And  '^he  said  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Put  every  man  his 
sword  by  his  side,  and  go  in  and 
out  from  gate  to  gate  through- 
out the  camp,  and  "slay  every 
man  his  brother,  and  every  man 
his  companion,  and  every  man 
his  neighbour. 

28  And  the  ^children  of  '"Le'vi 
did  according  to  the  word  of 
'^Mo'ses:  and  there  fell  of  the 
people  that  day  about  three 
thousand  men. 

29  For  '^Mo'se.s  had  said,  Con- 
secrate yourselves  to  day  to  the 
Lord,  even  every  man  upon  his 
son,  and  upon  his  brother;  that 
he  may  bestow  upon  you  a  bless- 
ing this  day. 

30  T[  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  '^Mo'.se.s  said  unto 
the  people.  Ye  have  sinned  a 
great  "sin  :  and  now  I  will  ^go  up 
unto  the  Lord;  peradventure  I 
shall  make  an  'atonement  for 
your  sin. 

31  And  Mo'.se.s  '^■''returned  unto 
the  Lord,  and  ^said.  Oh,  this 
people  have  sinned  a  great  "sin, 
and  *have  made  them  'gods  of 
gold. 

32  ''Yet  now,  if  thou  wilt  "for- 
give their  "sin — ;  and  *'if  not, 
"'blot  me,  I  pray  thee,  out  of  thy 
^book  which  thou  hast  writ- 
ten. 

33  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
i\Io'se§,  ^W  hosoever  hath 
^sinned  against  me,  him  will  I 
blot  out  of  my  ^book. 

34  Therefore  now  go,  lead  the 
people  unto  '^the  place  of  which  I 
have  spoken  unto  thee:  behold. 


mine^'  ^x\ngel  shall  go  before  thee : 
nevertheless  in  the  day  when  I 
visit  I  will  visit  their  ""sin  upon 
''them. 

35  And  the  Lord  "plagued  the 
'people,  because  they  ^made  the 
''calf,  which  x\ar'on  made. 

CHAPTER  33 

The  Lord  refuses  to  go,  as  he  had  promised, 
with  the  people.  4  The  people  mourn 
thereat.  7  The  tabernacle  is  removed  out 
of  the  camp.  9  The  Lord  talks  face  to 
face  with  Moses.  12  Moses  praijs  for 
God's  presence,  18  and  desires  to  see  his 
glory. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto 
"Mo'.ses,  Depart,  and  go 
up  hence,  thou  and  the  people 
which  thou  hast  brought  up  out 
of  the  land  of  "E'gypt,  unto  the 
'^land  which  I  '^•"sware  unto 
'A 'bra-ham,  to  ^I'.saac,  and  to 
''Ja'cob,  saying.  Unto  thy  seed 
will  I  give  it: 

2  And  I  will  send  an  'angel  be- 
fore thee;  and  I  will  drive  out  the 
'Ca'naan-ite,  the  ^ Am'or-ite,  and 
the  'Hit'tite,  and  the  '"Pcr'iz-zite, 
the  "Hi'vite,  and  the  "Jeb'u- 
site: 

3  Unto  a  "^land  flowing  with 
''milk  and  "honey:  for  ''I  will  not 
go  up  in  the  midst  of  thee;  for 
thou  art  a  ^stiffnecked  people: 
lest  'I  "consume  thee  in  the 
way. 

4  ^  And  when  the  "people 
heard  these  evil  tidings,  "'they 
^mourned :  and  no  man  did  put 
on  him  his  ^ornaments. 

5  For  the  Lord  had  said  unto 
Mo'.se.s,  Say  unto  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,  Ye  are  a  ^stiffnecked 
people:  'I  will  come  up  into  the 
midst  of  thee  in  a  moment,  and 
"consume  thee:  therefore  now 
put  oflf  thy  ^ornaments  from 
thee,  that  I  may  know  what  to 
do  unto  thee. 

6  And  the  children  of  "Ls'ra-el 
stripped  themselves  of  their  ^or-

nacle,  and  pitched  it  without  the 
camp,  afar  off  from  the  camp, 
and  called  it  the  ^-"Tabernacle 
of  the  congregation.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  that  every  one 
which  *sought  the  Lord  went 
out  unto  the  ^tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  which  'ivas  without 
the  camp. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"^Mo'.se.s  went  out  unto  the  tab- 
ernacle, that  all  the  people  '^rose 
up,  and  stood  every  man  at  his 
tent  door,  and  looked  after  Mo'- 
.se.s,  until  he  was  gone  into  the 
'•"tabernacle. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  jNIo'- 
.ses  encered  into  the  '"taber- 
nacle, the  cloudy  ""pillar  descend- 
ed, and  stood  at  the  door  of 
the  'tabernacle,  and  tlie  Lord 
%lked  with  ^Mo'scs. 

10  And  all  the  people  saw  the 
cloudy  ''pillar  stand  at  the  '"tab- 
ernacle door:  and  all  the  people 
rose  up  and  '' worship j)ed,  every 
man  in  his  tent  door. 

11  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
''Mo'.se.s  face  to  face,  ^as  a  man 
speaketh  unto  his  *friend.  And 
he  turned  again  into  the  camp: 
but  his  servant  *Josh'u-u,  the 
son  of  Nun,  a  'young  man,  de- 
parted not  out  of  the  '•"taber- 
nacle. 

12  Tf  And  Mo'.scs  ^''said  unto 
the  Lord,  See,  thou  sayest  unto 
me.  Bring  up  this  people:  and 
thou  hast  not  let  me  know  whom 
thou  wilt  send  with  me.  Yet 
thou  hast  said,  I  know  thee  by 
name,  and  thou  hast  also  found 
'"grace  in  my  sight. 

13  Now  therefore,  I  ^•"pray 
thee,  if  I  have  found  '"grace  in 
thy  sight,  "■''shew  me  now  thy 
way,  that  I  may  know  thee,  that 


I  may  find  grace  in  thy  sight: 
and  'consider  that  this  nation  is 
thy  people. 

14  And  he  said,  ''jNIy  '■'presence 
shall  go  with  ^'thce,  and  I  will 
give  thee  rest. 

15  And  he  '^■"said  unto  him,  "If 
thy  'presence  go  not  witJi  me, 
carry  us  not  up  hence. 

16  For  wherein  shall  it  be 
known  here  that  I  and  thy  peo- 
ple have  found  '"grace  in  thy 
sight  ?  "is  it  not  in  that  ''thou  go- 
est  with  us  ?  "so  shall  "'we  be 
^separated,  I  and  thy  ^people, 
from  all  the  people  that  arc  upon 
the  face  of  the  earth. 

17  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'se.s,  ^I  will  do  this  thing  also 
that  thou  hast  spoken:  for  thou 
hast  found  "grace  in  my  sight, 
and  I  know  thee  by  name. 

18  And  he  "•^said,  I  beseech 
thee,  ''shew  me  thy  ''glory. 

19  And  he  said,  'I  will  make  all 
my  ^goodness  pass  before  thee, 
and  I  will  proclaim  the  name  of 
the  Lord  before  thee;  and 
''•Hvill  be  "gracious  to  whom  I 
will  be  gracious,  and  will  shew 
'mercy  on  whom  I  will  shew 
mercy. 

20  And  he  said,  '^Thou  canst 
not  see  my  face:  for  there  shall 
no  man  see  me,  and  live. 

21  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold, 
there  is  a  place  by  me,  and  thou 
shalt  stand  upon  a  rock: 

22  And  it  shall  crjme  to  pass, 
while  my  "glory  passeth  by,  that 
I  will  put  thee  in  a  clift  of  the 
rock,  and  will  cover  thee  with 
my  hand  while  I  pass  by: 

23  And  I  will  take  away  mine 
hand,  and  thou  shalt  see  my 
back  parts:  but  ^my  face  shall 
not  be  seen.

CHAPTER  34 


The  tables  are  renewed.  5  The  name  of  the 
LORD  proclaimed.  8  Moses  entreats 
God  to  go  with  them.  10  God  makes  a 
covenant  with  them,  repeating  certain 
duties  engraved  on  the  first  tables.  28 
Moses  after  forty  days  in  the  mount  comes 
down  IV ith  the  tables.  20  His  face  shines, 
and  he  covers  it  with  a  veil. 

AND  the  Lord  "said  unto 
''INIo'.ses,  Hew  thee  two 
''tables  of  "stone  like  unto  the 
first:  and  I  will  write  upon  these 
tables  the  ''words  that  were  in 
the  first  tables,  which  thou 
brakest. 

2  And  be  ready  in  the  morning, 
and  come  up  in  the  morning 
unto  mount  ^Sl'nai,  and  present 
thyself  there  to  me  in  the  top  of 
the  mount. 

3  And  no  man  shall  come  up 
with  thee,  neither  let  any  man  be 
seen  throughout  all  the  ^mount; 
neither  let  the  flocks  nor  herds 
feed  before  that  mount. 

4  If  And  "he  ''hewed  two  ^ta- 
bles of  stone  like  unto  the  first, 
and  Mo'se.s  *rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  went  up  unto 
mount  ''Si'nai,  as  the  Lord  had 
commanded  him,  and  took  in 
his  hand  the  two  taliles  of  stone. 

5  And  the  Lord  descended  in 
the  '•■'cloud,  and  stood  with  him 
there,  and  proclaimed  the  ^name 
of  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  Lord  passed  by  be- 
fore him,  and  proclaimed.  The 
Lord,  The  Lord  'God,  hner- 
ciful  and  gracious,  ^'"'longsufl^er- 
ing,  and  abundant  in  "^goodness 
and°'^truth, 

7  Keeping  'mercy  for  thou- 
sands, ''forgiving  iniquity  and 
transgression  and  sin,  and  "that 
will  by  no  means  clear  the  guilt t/; 
'•"visiting  the  "•"'inicjuity  of  the 
^fathers  upon  the  ^children,  and 
^upon  the  children's  children, 
unto  the  third  and  to  the  fourth 
cjencration. 

8  And  INIo'.se.s  made  haste,  and 
"^bowed  his  head  toward  the 
earth,  and  worshipped. 


9  And  he  ^•'^said.  If  now  I  have 
found  grace  in  thy  sight,  O 
Lord,  let  my  Lord,  I  pray 
thee,  go  among  us;  for  it  is  a 
'^^ ''stiff necked  ^people;  and  par- 
don ova-  iniquity  and  our  sin.  and 
take  us  for  thine  inheritance. 

10  Tf  And  he  said,  Behold,  I 
make  a  ''covenant :  before  all  thy 
people  I  will  do  marvels,  such  as 
have  not  been  done  in  all  the 
earth,  nor  in  any  ''nation:  and 
all  the  people  among  which  thou 
art  shall  see  the  work  of  the 
Lord:  for  it  is  a  terrible  thing 
that  I  will  do  with  thee. 

11  01)serve  thou  that  which  I 
command  thee  this  day:  behold, 
I  drive  out  before  thee  the  ^\m'- 
6r-Ite,  and  the  'Ca'naan-Ite,  and 
the  ^Hit'tlte,  and  the  Ter'iz- 
zlte,  and  the  '"Hi'vite,  and  the 
"^Jeb'u-site. 

12  "Take  ^heed  to  thyself,  lest 
thou  make  a  *• ''•  "covenant  with 
the  'inhabitants  of  the  land 
whither  thou  goest,  lest  it  be  for 
a  "snare  in  the  midst  of  thee : 

13  But  ye  shall  destroy  their 
altars,  *'l)reak  their  ^images,  and 
cut  down  their  ^groves: 

14  For  '"thou  shalt  worship  no 
other  god :  for  the  ^Lord,  whose 
name  is  Jealous,  is  a  ^jealous 
God: 

15  "•^Lest  thou  make  a  '■''■"cov- 
enant with  the  'inhabitants  of 
the  land,  and  they  go  a  whoring 
after  their  gods,  and  do  sacrifice 
unto  their  gods,  and  one  call 
thee,  and  thou  eat  of  his  sac- 
rifice; 

16  "•^And  thou  '•"take  of  their 
daughters  unto  thy  sons,  and 
their  daughters  go  a  whoring 
after  their  gods,  and  make  thy 
sons  go  a  whoring  after  their 
gods.

INIo^ses,  Write  t  h  o  u  these 
'"wortls:  for  after  the  tenor  of 
these  words  I  have  made  a  "cove- 
nant with  thee  and  Avith  Is'ra-el. 

28  And  he  was  there  ^with  the 
Lord  ^forty  days  and  forty 
nights;  he  ''did  neither  eat  bread, 
nor  drink  W'ater.  And  he  wrote 
upon  the  ''tables  the  words  of  the 
"covenant,  the  ten  *command- 
ments. 

29  Tl  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'jMo'.ses  came  down  from  mount 
"Sl'nai  with  the  two  'tables  of 
"testimony  in  Mo'ses'  hand, 
when  he  came  down  from  the 
mount,  that  Mo'.se.s  w^st  not  that 
the  skin  of  his  '''■"'face  ""■  ^-^shone 
"while  he  talked  with  him. 

30  And  when  "Aar'on  and  all 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  saw 
"Mo',se,s,  behold,  the  skin  of  his 
''"•'"face  '^shone;  and  they  were 
afraid  to  come  nigh  him. 

31  And  ]\Io'.se.s  called  unto 
them;  and  ''Aar'on  and  all  the 
''"'rulers  of  the  congregation  re- 
turned unto  him:  and  Mo'.se.s 
talked  with  them. 

32  And  afterward  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  came  nigh:  and 
he  gave  them  in  commandment 
all  that  the  Lord  had  spoken 
with  ^him  in  mount  '''Sl'nai. 

33  And  till  "Mo'ses  had  done 
speaking  with  them,  he  'put  a 
■'vail  on  his  face. 

34  But  when  Mo'.se.s  went  in  be- 
fore the  I.,ORD  to  speak  with  him, 
he  took  the ^-ail  off, until  he  came 
out.  And  he  came  out,  and  spake 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that 
which  "he  was  commanded. 

35  And  the  children  of  I.s'ra-el 
saw  the  ''face  of  Mo'.se.s,  that  the 
skin  of  "Mo'scs'  <^face  ''shone: 
and  Mo'.ses  put  the  ^vail  upon 
his  face  again,  until  he  went  in 
to  speak  with  him.

every  wise  hearted  man,  in 
whose  heart  the  Lord  had 
^•'^put  '^wisdom,  even  every  one 
whose  heart  stirred  him  up  to 
come  unto  the  work  to  do  it: 

3  And  they  received  of  ^Mo'.se.s 
all  the  off(Mung,  which  the  chil- 
dren of  ''Is'ra-el  had  brought  for 
the  work  of  the  service  of  the 
''sanctuary,  to  make  it  witJial. 
And  they  'brought  yet  unto  him 
free  offerings  eveiy  morning. 

4  ^  And  all  the  wise  men,  that 
wrought  all  the  work  of  the 
''sanctuary,  came  every  man 
from  his  work  which  they  matle ; 

5  And  they  spake  unto  ''Mo'.se.s, 
saying,  ''The  people  'bring  much 
more  than  enough  for  the  service 
of  the  work,  which  the  Lord 
commanded  to  make. 

6  And  ^Mo'se.s  gave  command- 
ment, and  they  caused  it  to  be 
prockiimed  throughout  the 
camjD,  saying,  Let  neither  man 
nor  woman  make  any  more 
work  for  the  offering  of  the 
''sanctuary.  So  ''the  people  were 
restrained  from  bringing. 

7  'For  tlic  stuff  they  had  was 
sufficient  for  all  the  work  to 
make  it,  and  too  much. 

8  ^  And  every  Avise  hearted 
man  among  them  that  wrought 
the  work  of  the  ^tabernacle  made 
ten  ^-'curtains  of  fine  twined 
"'linen,  and  "blue,  and  "purple, 
and  "scarlet :  with  "cherubims  of 
cunning  work  made  he  them. 

9  The  length  of  one  ^curtain 
was  twenty  and  eight  ^cubits, 
and  the  breadth  of  one  curtain 
four  cubits :  the  curtains  uiere  all 
of  one  size. 

10  And  he  coupled  the  five 
^curtains  one  unto  another:  and 
the  other  five  curtains  he  coupled 
one  unto  another. 

11  And  he  made  loops  of  "blue 
on  the  edge  of  one  ^curtain  from 


the  selvedge  in  the  coupling: 
likewise  he  made  in  the  utter- 
most side  of  another  curtain,  in 
tne  coupling  of  the  second. 

12  Fifty  loops  made  he  in  one 
''curtain,  and  fifty  loops  made  he 
in  the  edge  of  the  curtain  which 
was  in  the  coupling  of  the  sec- 
ond: the  loops  held  one  curtain 
to  another. 

13  And  he  made  fifty  Caches  of 
^gold,  and  coupled  the  ''curtains 
one  unto  another  with  the 
Haches:  so  it  became  one  'taber- 
nacle. 

14  T[  And  he  made  ^'curtains  of 
''goats'  Jiair  for  the  tent  over  the 
tabernacle:  eleven  curtains  he 
made  them. 

15  The  length  of  one  ^curtain 
uxis  thirty  ^cubits,  and  four  cu- 
l)its  ivas  the  breadth  of  one  cur- 
tain :  the  eleven  curtains  were  of 
one  size. 

16  And  he  coupled  five  ^cur- 
tains by  themselves,  and  six  cur- 
tains by  themselves. 

17  And  he  made  fifty  loops  up- 
on the  uttermost  edge  of  the 
''curtain  in  the  coupling,  and 
fifty  loojw  made  he  upon  the 
edge  of  the  curtain  which  coup- 
leth  the  second. 

18  And  he  made  fifty  Haches  of 
''brass  to  couple  the  tent  togeth- 
er, that  it  might  be  one. 

19  ^  And  he  made  a  covering 
for  the  tent  of  rams'  skins  dyed 
"red,  and  a  covering  0/  ^'*badg- 
ers'  skins  above  that. 

20  Tf  And  he  made  boards  for 
the  Habernacle  of  'shittim 
wood,  standing  up. 

21  The  length  of  a  board  was 
ten  ^cubits,  and  the  breadth  of  a 
board  one  cubit  and  a  half. 

22  One  ])oard  had  two  tenons, 
^equally  distant  one  from  anotii- 
er:  thus  did  he  make  for  all  the 
boards  of  the  'tabernacle.

the  south  side  southward: 

2-i  And  forty  sockets  of  "silver 
he  made  under  the  twenty

two  sockets  under  another  board 
for  his  two  tenons.

the  two  sides. 

29  And  they  were  'coupled  be- 
neath, and  coupled  together  at 
the  head  thereof,  to  one  ring: 
thus  he  did  to  both  of  them  in 
both  the  corners. 

30  And  there  were  eight  boards ; 
and  their  sockets  were  sixteen 
sockets  of  ''silver,  under  every 
board  two  sockets.

33  And  he  made  the  middle  bar 
to  shoot  through  the  boards  from 
the  one  end  to  the  other. 

34  And  he  overlaid  the  boards 
with  ''gold,  and  made  their  rings

nine  ■'^talents,  and  seven  hun- 
dred and  thirty  ^shekels,  after 
the  shekel  of  the  'sanctuary. 

25  And  the  '"silver  of  them  that

26  A  "bekah  for  every  man,  that 
is,  half  a  ^'shekel,  after  the  shekel 
of  the  'sanctuary,  for  every  one 
that  went  to  be  "numbered,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward, 
for  six  hundred  thousand  and 
three  thousand  and  five  hundred

27  And  of  the  hundred  ^talents 
of  '"silver  were  ^cast  the  sockets 
of  the  'sanctuary,  and  the  sock- 
ets of  the  'vail ;  an  hundred  sock- 
ets of  the  hundred  talents,  a  tal-

29  And  the  'brass  of  the  offer- 
ing was  seventy  ■'■talents,  and 
two  thousand  and  four  hundred

approved  by  Piloses. 

AND  of  the  "blue,  and  "pur-

made  k-loths  of  service,  to  do 
service  in  the  "holy  place,  and 
made  the  holy  '^garments  for 
''Aar'on;  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded ^'^Mo'.ses. 

2  And  he  made  the  ''ephod  of 
"gold,  "blue,  and  "purple,  and 
"scarlet,  and  fine  twined  ''linen. 

3  And  they  did  beat  the  ''gold 
into  thin  plates,  and  cut  it  into 
wires,  to  'work  it  in  the  "blue, 
and  in  the  "purple,  and  in  the 
"scarlet,  and  in  the  fine  *linen, 
with  cunning  w^ork. 

4  They  made  shoulderpieces 
for  'it,  to  couple  it  together:  by 
the  two  edges  was  it  coupled 
together. 

5  And  the  curious  'girdle  of  his 
'ephod,  that  ivas  upon  it,  was  of 
the  same,  according  to  the  work 
thereof;  of  ''gold,"blue,  and  "pur-

the  "breastplate  double:  a  ^span 
%vas  the  length  thereof,  and  a 
span  the  breadth  thereof,  heing 
doubled. 

10  And  they  set  in  it  four  rows 
of  *stones:  the  first  row  was  a 
^sardius,  a  ''topaz,  and  a  *car- 
buncle:  this  was  the  first  row. 

11  And  the  second  row,  an 
'emerald,  a  "sapphire,  and  a 
^diamond. 

12  And  the  third  row,  a

13  And  the  fourth  row,  a 
^beryl,  an  ''^onyx,  and  a  ^jasper: 
they  were  inclosed  in  ouches  of 
"gold  in  their  inclosings. 

14  And  the  *stones  were  ac- 
cording to  the  names  of  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el,  twelve,  ac- 
cording to  their  names,  like  the 
"engravings  of  a  '^signet,  every 
one  with  his  name,  according  to 
the  twelve  tribes. 

15  And  they  made  upon  the 
''breastplate  ^chains  ^at  the  ends, 
of  wreathen  work  of  pure  "gold. 

IG  And  they  made  two  ouches

ends  of  the  ^breastplate,  upon 
the  border  of  it,  which  was  on 
the  side  of  the  ''ephod  in-

the  rings  of  the  ^ephod  with  a

of  an  ''habergeon,  with  a  band 
round  about  the  hole,  that  it

X  HOLINESS.  [Sin  and  Holiness,  sinful  man  and  tlie 
Holy  Jehovah,  were  the  dominant  ideas  in  the  Mosaic  law. 
To  impress  the  nation  of  Israel,  which  was  to  become  a 
separated  and  holy  people,  and  through  them,  as  the 
medium  of  the  divine  revelation,  to  impress  all  people  for 
all  time  with  the  great  and  central  truth  of  the  true  religion, 
namely,  that  a  holy  God  can  be  pleased  by  none  but  holy 
people,  was  the  supreme  purpose  of  the  system  of  Mosaic 
ordinances.  The  student  must,  therefore,  seek  for  this 
spiritual  purpose  throug-h  all  the  ordinances  of  the  law. 
Delilement  and  uncleanness,  exclusion  of  the  unclean  from 
the  congregation,  atonements  and  atoning  sacrifices, 
washings  and  purifications,  whole  burnt  otTerings,  unblem- 
ished priests  and  unblemished  offerings  typical  of  unblem- 
ished and  uncorrupled  motives  in  worship  and  service, 
•were  ordained  as  object  lessons  to  teach  that  there  Is  a 
dilference  between  unholiness  and  holiness,  and  between 
the  unholy  and  the  holy,  and  thus  to  exalt  holiness  as  the 
supreme  lesson  of  life. 

As  in  the  books  of  the  Mosaic  law,  so  throughout  the  Holy 
Scriptures,  the  attainment  of  holiness  Is  the  dominant  theme.]

all  his  vessels,  and  "''"sanctify 
the  altar:  and  it  shall  be  an  altar 
most  holy. 

11  And  thou  shalt  'anoint  the 
•^laver  and  his  foot,  and  ""'sanc- 
tify it. 

12  And  -'thou  shalt  'bring 
"Aar'on  and  his  sons  unto  the 
door  of  the  ^tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  *''^wash  them 
with  water. 

13  And  thou  shalt  put  upon 
"•''Aar'on  the  holy  ''garments, 
and  ''•''anoint  him,  and  '^■^sancti- 
fy  him;  that  he  may  minister  un- 
to me  in  the  priest's  office. 

14  And  thou  shalt  bring  his 
sons,  and  clothe  them  with  coats : 

15  And  thou  shalt  ''•^anoint 
"them,  as  thou  didst  anoint  their 
father,  that  they  may  minister 
unto  me  in  the  priest's  office :  for 
their  anointing  shall  surely  be  an 
everlasting  priesthood  through- 
out their  generations. 

16  TJius  'did  '^Mo'.ses:  accord- 
ing to  all  that  the  Lord  com- 
manded him,  so  did  he. 

17  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
first  'month  in  the  second  year, 
on  the  first  dai/  of  the  month, 
that  the  '"tabernacle  was  reared 
up. 

18  And  Mouses  reared  up  the 
'"tabernacle,  and  fastened  his 
sockets,  and  set  up  the  boards 
thereof,  and  put  in  the  bars 
thereof,  and  reared  up  his 
pillars. 

19  And  he  spread  abroad  the 
tent  over  the  "'tabernacle,  and 
put  the  covering  of  the  tent 
above  upon  it;  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo'.ses. 

20  f  And  he  took  and  put  the 
"testimony  into  the  °ark,  and  set 
the  staves  on  the  ark,  and  put 
the  ^mercy  seat  above  upon  the 
ark: 

21  And  he  brought  the  ^ark  into 
the  "'tabernacle,  and  set  up  the 


'■'^■'vail  of  the  covering,  and  cov- 
ered the  ark  of  the  testimony;  as 
the  Lord  commanded  Mo'.ses. 

22  t  And  he  put  the  "table  in 
the  tent  of  Hhe  congregation,  up- 
on the  side  of  the  tabernacle 
northward,  "without  the  vail. 

23  And  he  set  the  "bread  in 
order  upon  it  before  the  Lord; 
as  the  Lord  had  commanded 
Mtl'.se.s. 

24  Tf  And  he  put  the  "'candle- 
stick in  the  tent  of  'the  congre- 
gation, over  against  the  "table, 
on  the  side  of  the  '"tabernacle 
southward. 

25  And  he  lighted  the  ""lamps 
before  the  Lord;  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses. 

26  ^  And  he  put  the  golden 
•'^altar  in  the  tent  of  'the  congre- 
gation before  the  vail: 

27  And  he  burnt  sweet  ^incense 
thereon;  as  the  Lord  command- 
ed ]Mo'§e.s. 

28  Tf  And  he  set  up  the  hanging 
at  the  door  of  the  '"tabernacle. 

29  And  he  put  the  ^altar  of 
burnt  offering  bi/  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  tent  of  'the 
congregation,  and  offered  upon 
it  the  "burnt  offering  and  the 
''meat  offering:  as  the  Lord 
commanded  '^Mo'.se.g. 

30  t  And  he  set  the  '^laver  be- 
tween the  tent  of  Hhe  congrega- 
tion and  the  ''altar,  and  put  wa- 
ter there,  to  %ash  withal. 

31  And  '^Mo'ses  and  ''Aar'on 
and  his  sons  ^'''-^washed  their 
hands  and  their  feet  thereat: 

32  When  ''•"they  went  into  the 
tent  of  Hhe  congregation,  and 
when  they  came  near  unto  the 
"altar,  they  ^•''*' 'washed;  as  the

33  And  he  reared  up  the  'court 
round  about  the  ^'tabernacle  and

CHAPTER  1 

The  burnt  offerings  of  the  herd;  10  of  the 
flocks;  14  and  of  the  fowls. 

AND  the  Lord  called  unto 
"^Nid'ses,  and  ''■^spake  un- 
to him  out  of  the  ^' '^tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
''Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them.  If 
any  man  of  you  bring  an  -•^•''of- 
fering unto  the  Lord,  ye  shall 
bring  your  -offering  of  the  cattle, 
even  of  the  herd,  and  of  the 
flock. 

3  If  his  ^offering  he  a  ^burnt 
^•"sacrifice  of  the  herd,  let  him 
offer  a  male  ^without  '•^blemish: 
he  shall  offer  ^it  of  his  own  vol- 
untary will  at  the  door  of  the 
'taljernade  of  the  congregation 
before  the  Lord. 

4  And  he  shall  ])ut  his  'hand  up- 
on the  head  of  the  'burnt  ''oft'er- 
ing;  and  it  .shall  be  accepted  *for 
him  to  make  '"•"atcmement  for 
him. 

5  And  he  shall  "kill  the  bullock 
before  the  Lord:  and  the 
^priests,  Aar'on's  sons,  shall 
bring  the  ^- 'blood,  and  sprinkle 


the  blood  round  about  upon  the 
'^altar  that  is  by  the  door  of  the 
Habernacle  of  the  congregation. 

6  And  ^he  shall  flay  the  ''l)urnt 
offering,  and  cut  it  into  his 
pieces. 

7  And  the  sons  of  Aar'on  the 
Spriest  shall  put  fire  upon  the 
''altar,  and  lay  the  wood  in  order 
upon  the  fire: 

8  And  the  ^priests,  Aar'on's 
sons,  shall  lay  the  parts,  the 
head,  and  the  4"at,  in  order  upon 
the  wood  that  is  on  the  fire 
which  is  upon  the  ''altar: 

9  But  his  inwards  and  his  legs

CHAPTER  5 

For  Mm  that  sins  in  concealing  Ms 
knowledye.  2  hi  touching  an  unclean 
thing.  4  or  in  making  an  oath,  there  shall 
be  a  trespass  offering  of  the  flock.  7  of 
fowls.  11  or  of  flour.  14  The  trespas.'s 
offering  for  sacrilege,  17  and  for  sins  of 
ignorance. 

AND  if  a  soul  sin,  and  hear 
the  voice  of  swearing,  and 
is  a  "witness,  whether  he  hath 
seen  or  known  of  it;  if  he  do  not 
utter  ?"/,  then  he  shall  bear  his 
^iniquity. 

2  'X)r  if  a  soul  touch  any  un- 
clean thing,  whether  it  be  a  car- 
case of  an  unclean  beast,  or  a 
carcase  of  unclean  cattle,  or 
the  carcase  of  unclean  ''creeping 
things,  and  i]  it  be  hidden  from 
him;  he  also  shall  be  "•^unclean, 
and  guilty. 

3  Or  if  he  touch  the  unclean- 
ness  of  man,  whatsoever  un- 
cleanness  it  he  that  a  man  shall  be 
*'Mefiled  withal,  and  it  be  'hid 
from  him;  when  he  knoweth  0/ 
it,  then  he  shall  be  guilty. 

4  Or  if  a  soul  ^swear,  pronounc- 
ing with  liis  lips  to  do  evil,  or  to 
do  good,  whatsoever  it  he  that  a 
man  shall  pronounce  with  an 
''oath,  and  it  be  'hid  from  him; 
when  he  knoweth  0/  it,  then  he 
shall  be  guilty  in  one  of  these. 

5  And  it  shall  be,  when  he  shall 
be  guilty  in  one  of  these  things, 
that  he  shall  'confess  that  he 
hath  sinned  in  that  tJiincj: 

6  And  he  shall  bring  his  tres- 
pass 'offering  unto  the  Lord  for 
his  sin  wliich  he  hath  sinned,  a 
female  from  the  flock,  a  lamb  or 
a  kid  of  the  goats,  for  a  ^sin  'of- 
fering; and  the  'priest  shall  make 
an  "'"atonement  for  him  con- 
cernin"-  his  sin. 


7  And  if  "he  be  not  able  to 
bring  a  ^'lainij,  then  he  shall 
bring  for  his  'trespass  which  he 
hath  committed,  two  'turtle- 
doves, or  two  young  ''pigeons,  un- 
to the  Lord;  one  for  a  'sin  'of- 
fering, and  the  other  for  a  ''burnt 
offering. 

8  And  he  shall  bring  them  unto 
the  'priest,  who  shall  offer  that 
which  is  for  the  ^sin  'offering 
first,  and  wring  off  his  head  from 
his  neck,  but  shall  not  divide  it 
asunder: 

9  And  he  shall  sprinkle  of  the 
'■"blood  of  the  *'sin 'offering  up- 
on the  side  of  the  altar;  and  the 
rest  of  the  blood  shall  |je  wrung 
out  at  the  bottom  of  the  altar :  it 
is  a  sin  offering. 

10  And  he  shall  offer  the  second 
for  a  *burnt  offering,  according 
to  the  ^manner:  and  the  'priest 
shall  make  an  '"  "atonement  for 
him  for  his  sin  which  he  hath 
sinned,  and  it  shall  be  "forgiven 
him. 

11  But  if  °he  be  not  able  to 
bring  two  ^"turtledoves,  or  two 
young  ''^■'■pigeons,  then  he  that 
sinned  shall  bi'ing  for  his  ^offer- 
ing the  tenth  part  of  an  "'ephah 
of  fine  flour  for  a  sin  offering;  he 
shall  put  no  ^oil  upon  it,  neither 
shall  he  put  any  ^frankincense 
thereon:  for  it  is  a  sin  offering. 

12  Then  shall  he  bring  it  to  the 
priest,  and  the  'priest  shall  take 
his  handful  of  it,  even  a  memo- 
rial thereof,  and  burn  it  on  the 
altar,  according  to  the  offerings 
made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord:  it 
is  a  sin  offering. 

13  And  the  'priest  shall  make 
an  atonement  for  him  as  touch-

20  This  is  the  ^"oflFering  of 
^Aar'on  and  of  his  sons,  which 
they  shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  in 
the  day  when  he  is  *■  ""anointed ;

perpetual,  half  of  it  in  the

21  In  a  pan  it  shall  be  made 
with  ^oil;  ^^and  when  it  is  baken, 
thou  shalt  bring  it  in:  and  the 
baken  pieces  of  the  ^^meat  ^offer-

22  And  the  Spriest  of  ^his  sons 
that  is  ''anointed  in  his  stead

"killed  shall  the  sin  offering  be 
"killed  before  the  Lord:  it  is 
most  holy.

26  And  out  of  the  basket  of  un-

ened cake,  and  a  cake  of  oiled 
bread,  and  one  wafer,  and  put 
them  on  the  "^fat,  and  upon  the

28  And  ''Mo'.ses  took  them  from 
off  their  hands,  and  burnt  them 
on  the  %ltar  upon  the  ''burnt  of- 
fering: they  were  consecrations 
for  a  sweet  savour:  it  is  an  offer- 
ing made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord. 

29  And  M5'.se§  took  the  breast, 
and  waved  it  for  a  "A\ave  offer- 
ing before  the  Lord:  for  of  the 
ram  of  ^consecration  it  was  Mo'-

manded Mouses. 

30  And  '^Md'ses  took  of  the 
^anointing  ^oil,  and  of  the 
''■^blood  which  was  upon  the  'al- 
tar, and  sprinkled  it  upon 
'Aar'on,  and  upon  his  gar- 
ments, and  upon  his  sons,  and 
upon  his  sons'  garments  with 
him;  and  ^■'^•^sanctified  Aar'on, 
aiid  his  garments,  and  his  sons, 
and  his  sons'  garments  with 
him. 

31  ^  And  ''Mo'ses  said  unto 
'A&r'on  and  to  his  sons,  Boil  the 


flesh  at  the  door  of  the  ^■"'taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation:  and 
there  eat  it  with  the  bread  that  is 
in  the  basket  of  consecrations,  as 
I  commanded,  saying,  Aar'on 
and  his  sons  shall  eat  it. 

32  And  "that  which  remaineth 
of  the  flesh  and  of  the  bread 
shall  ye  burn  wdth  fire. 

33  And  ye  shall  not  go  out  of 
the  door  of  the  ^■"'tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  in  -^seven  days, 
until  the  days  of  your  ^consecra- 
tion be  at  an  end :  for  seven  days 
shall  he  consecrate  you. 

34  As  he  hath  done  this  day,  so 
the  Lord  hath  commanded  to 
do,  to  make  an  ^-'atonement  for 
you. 

35  Therefore  shall  ye  abide  at 
the  door  of  the  ^'"'tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  day  and  night 
^seven  days,  and  ^keep  the 
charge  of  the  Lord,  that  ye  die 
not :  for  so  I  am  commanded. 

36  So  Aar'on  and  his  sons  did 
all  things  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded by  the  hand  of  Mouses.

7  And  °]\Io'.ses  said  unto 
''•'Aar'on,  Go  unto  the  '"altar, 
and  offer  thy  '^sin  ''offering,  and 
thy  ''burnt  offering,  and  make  an 
"■  "atonement  for  thyself,  and  for 
the  people:  and  offer  the  ^offer- 
ing of  the  people,  and  make  an 
atonement  for  them;  as  the 
Lord  commanded. 

8  ^  *'^Aar'on  therefore  went 
unto  the  altar,  and  ^slew  the  calf 
of  the  '^sin  ''offering,  which  tvas 
for  himself. 

9  And  the  sons  of  *x\ixr'on 
brought  the  *' ''blood  unto  him: 
and  'he  dipped  his  finger  in  the 
blood,  and  put  it  upon  the  horns 
of  the  '"altar,  and  poured  out  the 
blood  at  the  bottom  of  the  altar : 

10  But  the  *fat,  and  the  Hdd- 
neys,  and  the  "caul  above  the 
"^liver  of  the  ''sin  offering,  he 
burnt  upon  the  altar;  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'.se.s. 

11  And  ""the  fiesh  and  the  hide 
he  burnt  with  fire  without  the 
camp. 

12  And  'he  ^slew  the  H^urnt 
^offering;  and  Aar'on's  sons 
j)resented  unto  him  the  ^•'^blood, 
which  he  sprinkled  round  about 
upon  the  '"altar. 

13  And  they  presented  the 
'burnt  offering  unto  him,  with  the 
pieces  thereof,  and  the  head :  and 
he  Ijurnt  them  upon  the  "'altar. 

14  And  he  did  ^-^-^wash  the 
inwards  and  the  legs,  and  burnt 


them  upon  the  ''burnt  offering  on 
the  altar. 

15  ^  And  he  brought  the  peo- 
ple's 'offering,  and  took  the 
goat,  which  ivas  the  ''sin  '^offer- 
ing for  the  people,  and  ^slcw  it, 
and  offered  it  for  sin,  as  the  first. 

16  And  he  brought  the  ''burnt 
'^off'ering,  and  offered  it  accord- 
ing to  the  ^manner. 

17  And  he  brought  the  ^'^'meat 
offering,  and  took  an  handful 
thereof,  and  burnt  it  upon  the 
'"altar,  besitle  the  burnt  ^sacri- 
fice of  the  morning. 

18  He  ^slew  also  the  l)ullock 
and  the  ram  for  a  sacrifice  of 
'peace  ^offerings,  which  ivas  for 
the  people:  and  Aar'on's  sons 
presented  unto  him  the  ^•'^blood, 
which  'he  sprinkled  upon  the 
altar  round  about, 

19  And  the  *fat  of  the  bullock 
and  of  the  ram,  the  ^rump,  and 
that  which  covereth  the  inwards, 
and  the  Hvidneys,  and  the  "caul 
above  the  ^'liver: 

20  And  they  put  the  *fat  upon 
the  breasts,  and  he  burnt  the  fat 
upon  the  '"altar: 

21  And  the  breasts  and  the 
right  ^shoulder  Aar'on  waved 
for  a  ^wave  offering  before  the 
Lord;  as  Mo'ses  commanded. 

22  And  "Aar'on  lifted  up  his 
''hand  toward  the  people,  and 
'^blessed  them,  and  came  down 
from  offering  of  the  ''sin  '^offer- 
ing, and  the  ''burnt  offering,  and 
"peace  oft'erings. 

23  And  ''Mo'se.s  and  ''Aar'on 
went  into  the  ^tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  came  out,  and 
"blessed  the  people:  and  the 
'glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  un- 
to all  the  people. 

24  And  there  came  a  '-'^fire  out 
from  before  the  Lord,  and  c(ni- 
sumed  upon  the  altar  the  ''burnt 
offering  and  the  fat:  which 
when  all  the  people  saw,  they 
shouted,  and  fell  on  their  faces.

CHAPTER  10 


Nadab  and  Abihu,  for  offerlpg  strange  fire, 
are  consumed.  6  ,laro«  and  his  sons  are 
forbidden  to  mourn  for  them.  8  The 
priests  are  forbidden  icine  ivhen  they  go 
ir to  the  tabernacle.  12  The  law  of  eating 
the  holy  things.  16  Aaron's  excuse  for 
transgressins  thereof. 


AND  "-"Na'dab  and '^^ '^A-bf- 
hu,  the  sons  of  '^Aar'on, 
took  either  of  them  his  ^censer, 
and  put  fire  therein,  and  put  ^in- 
cense thereon,  and  "'''offered 
strange  fire  before  the  Lord, 
which  he  commanded  them  not. 

2  And  there  went  out  ^••'fire 
from  the  Lord,  and  ^devoured 
them,  and  they  died  before  the 
Lord. 

3  Then  'Mo'ses  said  unto 
'^AS.r'on,  This  is  it  that  the 
Lord  spake,  saying,  I  will  be 
sanctified  in  '"them  that  come 
nigh  me,  and  before  all  the 
people  I  will  be  glorified.  And 
Aar'on  "held  his  peace. 

4  And  'Mouses  called  "Mish  Vel 
and  ^El'za-phan,  the  sons  of 
*Uz'zi-el  the  uncle  of  Aar'on, 
and  said  unto  them,  Come  near, 
carry  your  brethren  from  before 
the  sanctuary  out  of  the  camp. 

5  So  they  went  near,  and  car- 
ried them  in  their  ''coats  out  of 
the  camp;  as  'Mo'ses  had  said. 

6  And  ^Mo'se.s  said  unto  '^Aiir'- 
on,  and  unto  *E-le-a'zar  and  un- 
to 'Ith'a-mar,  his  sons,  ^'"'"Un- 
cover not  your  heads,  neither 
""rend  your  clothes;  lest  ye  die, 
and  lest  wrath  come  upon  all  the 
people:  but  let  your  brethren, 
the  whole  house  of  Ls'ra-el,  be- 
wail the  burning  which  the 
Lord  hath  kindled. 

7  And  ye  shall  not  go  out  from 
the  door  of  the  'tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  lest  ye  die:  for  the 
^anointing  ^oil  of  the  Lord  is 
upon  you.  And  they  did  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  'Mo'ses. 


8  ^  And  the  Lord  ^spake  unto 
'^Aar'on,  saying, 

9  •''Do  not  drink  '^wine  nor 
strong  drink,  thou,  nor  thy  sons 
with  thee,  when  ye  go  into  the 
"tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
lest  ye  die :  it  shall  be  a  statute  for 
ever  throughout  your  genera- 
tions: 

10  And  '^that  ye  may  put  differ- 
ence between  ^holy  and  unholy, 
and  between  ^unclean  and  clean; 

11  And  that  "ye  may  ''teacti  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el  all  the  'stat- 
utes which  the  Lord  hath 
spoken  unto  them  by  the  hand 
of  Mo'§e§. 

12  t  And  'Mouses  spake  unto 
° Aar'on,  and  unto  ^E-le-a'zar 
and  unto  'Ith'a-mar,  his  sons 
that  were  left.  Take  the  ■'^■"'meat 
'"■"offering  that  remaineth  of  the 
offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire,  and  eat  it  without  leaven 
beside  the  altar:  for  "it  is  most 
holy: 

13  And  ye  shall  eat  it  in  the 
holy  place,  because  "it  is  thy 
due,  and  thy  sons'  due,  of  the 
^sacrifices  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire:  for  so  I  am  commanded. 

14  And  the  wave  breast  and 
heave  ^shoulder  shall  ye  eat  in  a 
clean  place;  thou,  and  thy  sons, 
and  thy  daughters  with  thee :  for 
"^they  be  thy  due,  and  thy  sons' 
due,  which  are  given  out  of  the 
sacrifices  of  ^peace  offerings  of 
the  children  of  Ls'ra-el. 

15  The  heave  ^shoulder  and  the 
wave  breast  shall  they  bring  with 
the  offerings  made  by  fire  of  the 
"fat,  to  wave  it  for  a  ''wave  offer- 
ing before  the  Lord;  and  "it 
shall  be  thine,  and  thy  sons'  with 
thee,  ^by  a  statute  for  ever;  as 
the  Lord  hath  commanded.

skin  of  his  flesh  a  rising,  a  ''scab, 
or  bright  spot,  and  it  be  in  the 
skin  of  his  flesh  like  the  plague 
of  *leprosy;  then  he  shall  be 
brought  unto  '^Aar'on  the  priest, 
or  unto  one  of  his  sons  the 
priests : 

3  And  the  Spriest  shall  ''look  on 
the  plague  in  the  skin  of  the 
flesh:  and  wJien  the  hair  in  the 
plague  is  turned  white,  and  the 
plague  in  sight  be  deeper  than 
the  skin  of  his  flesh,  It  is  a  plague 
of  leprosy:  and  the  priest  shall 
look  on  him,  and  pronounce  him 
"■''unclean. 

4  If  the  bright  spot  be  white  in 
the  skin  of  his  flesh,  and  in  sight 
be  not  deeper  than  the  sldn,  and 
the  hair  thereof  be  not  turned 


white;  then  the  Spriest  shall

plague  'seven  days:

him  the  seventh  day:  and,  be-

at  a  stay,  aiid  the  plague  spread 
not  in  the  skin;  then  the  priest 
shall  'shut  him  up  'seven  days 
more :

him  again  the  seventh  day:  and, 
behold,  if  the  plague  ^be  some- 
what dark,  and  the  plague 
spread  not  in  the  sldn,  the  priest 
shall  pronounce  him  clean :  it  is 
but  a  scab:  and  he  shall  ^wash 
his  clothes,  and  be   'clean. 

7  But  if  the  scab  spread  much 
abroad  in  the  skin,  after  that  he 
hath  been  seen  of  the  priest  for 
his  cleansing,  he  shall  be  seen  of 
the  priest  again : 

8  And  if  the  priest  ^see  that, 
behold,  the  scab  spreadeth  in  the 
skin,  then  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  "•''unclean:  it  is  a

t  BLEMISH,  a  physical  deformity.  The  Mosaic  \&\\ 
prohibited  blemished  persons  from  exercising-  the  functions 
of  the  priest's  office  and  prohibited  the  offering  of  blem- 
ished animals  for  sacrifices.  The  blemish  was  an  imper- 
fection, and  this  imperfection  disqualifled  persons  and 
things  for  sacred  uses.  It  was  intended  to  teach  by  this 
object  lesson  that  no  one  whose  heart  was  imperfect  could 
enjoy  the  privileges  of  divine  worship.  The  blemish  thus 
became  a  ti/jx  of  sin  and  the  oflerlng  without  blemish 
became  a  type  of  holiness.

away  the  stones,  and  after  he 
hath  scraped  the  house,  and  after

it  is  a  fretting  ^leprosy  in  the

shall  carry  thevi  forth  out  of  the

46  Moreover  he  that  goeth  into

in  the  '^house,  after  the  house 
was  plaistered:  then  the  priest 
shall  pronounce  the  house  clean, 
because  the  plague  is  healed. 

49  And  he  shall  take  to  '"cleanse 
the  house  two  birds,  and  "cedar 
wood,  and  "scarlet,  and  ^hys- 
sop: 

50  And  he  shall  *kill  the  one  of 
the  birds  in  an  earthen  vessel 
over  running  water:

"scarlet,  and  the  living  bird,  and 
dip  them  in  the  '^blood  of  the 
slain  bird,  and  in  the  running

''house  with  the  ''blood  of  the 
bird,  and  with  the  running  wa-

and  with  the  "cedar  wood  and 
with  the  ^hyssop,  and  with  the

bird  out  of  the  city  into  the  open 
fields,  and  make  an  ^atonement 
for  the  house:  and  it  shall  be 
'clean.

time  of  her  ^separation;  all  the 
days  of  the  issue  of  her  *''un- 
cleanness  shall  be  as  the  days  of 
her  separation:  she  shall  be 
unclean. 

26  Every  bed  whereon  she  lieth 
all  the  days  of  her  "issue  shall  be 
unto  her  as  the  bed  of  her  ''"sep- 
aration :  and  whatsoever  she  sit- 
teth  upon  shall  be  ^"'unclean,  as 
the  uncleanness  of  her  Repara- 
tion. 

27  And  whosoever  toucheth 
those  things  shall  be  unclean, 
and  shall  ''■  'wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be 
'^^ ''unclean  until  the  even. 

28  But  if  "she  be  'cleansed  of 
her  issue,  then  she  shall  number 
to  herself  *seven  days,  and  after 
that  she  shall  be  'clean. 

29  xA.nd  on  the  eighth  day  she 
shall  take  unto  her  two  '"turtles, 
or  two  young  "pigeons,  and 
bring  them  unto  the  priest,  to  the 
door  of  the  -tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

30  And  the  ''j)ricst  shall  offer 
the  one  for  a  sin  ^•''offering,  and 
the  other  for  a  ])urnt  ^offering; 
and  the  priest  shall  make  an 
'■-'atonement  for  her  before  the 
Lord  for  the  issue  of  her  ^■''un- 
cleanness. 

31  Thus  shall  ye  'separate  the 
children  of  ''Is'ra-el  from  their 
'^■''uncleanness;  that  they  die  not 
in  their  ^■'uncleanness,  when  they 
defile  my  ^tabernacle  that  is 
among  them. 

32  This  is  the  *law  of  him  that 
hath  an  issue,  and  of  him  whose 
seed  goeth  from  him,  and  is 
^■Mefiled  therewith; 

33  And  of  her  that  is  sick  of 
her ''^'flowers,  and  of  him  that 
hath  an  issue,  of  the  man,  and 
of  the  "woman,  and  of  him

CHAPTER  16 

Hjw  the  high  priest  must  enter  into  the  holy 
place.  11  The  sin  offering  for  himself. 
15  The  sin  offering  for  the  people.  20 
The  scapegoat.    29  The  yearly  atonement. 

AND  the  Lord  "spake  unto 
"Mo'ses  after  the  death 
of  the  two  sons  of  Aar'on,  when 
they  offered  before  the  Lord, 
and  died; 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
^IMo'.ses,  Speak  unto  '^Aar'on  thy 
brother,  that  he  come  not  at  all 
times  into  the  ''holy  place  within 
the  'vail  before  the  'mercy  seat, 
which  is  upon  the  ^ark;  that  he 
die  not:  for  I  will  appear  in  the 
*• ''cloud  upon  the  mercy  seat. 

3  Thus  shall  '^Aar'on  come  into 
the  ''holy  place:  with  a  young 
'bullock  for  a  'sin  ^offering,  and 
a  ram  for  a  'burnt  offering. 

4  He  shall  put  on  the  '"hoJy 
linen  coat,  and  he  shall  have  the 
linen  "breeches  upon  his  flesh, 
and  shall  be  girded  with  a  linen 
"girdle,  and  with  the  linen  ^mitre 
shall  he  be  attired:  these  are 
'"holy  garments;  therefore  shall 
he  '■''wash  his  flesh  m  water,  and 
so  put  them  on. 

5  And  he  shall  take  of  the  con- 
gregation of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el  two  ^kids  of  the  goats  for  a 
'sin  '^offering,  and  one  ram  for 
a  'burnt  offering. 

6  And  '^Aar'on  shall  offer  his 
'bullock  of  the  'sin  offering, 
which  is  for  himself,  and  make

"tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

8  And  "^Aar'on  shall  cast  ''lots

6  And  the  priest  .shall  ^sprinkle 
the  '-'"blood  upon  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  at  the  door  of  the  ^'^taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  and 
burn  the  "fat  for  a  sweet  savour 
unto  the  Lord. 

7  And  they  shall  no  more  ^offer 
their  ^sacrifices  unto  ^'"devils, 
after  whom  they  have  gone  a 
whoring.  This  shall  be  a  statute 
for  ever  unto  them  throughout 
their  generations. 

8  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them, 
Whatsoever  man  there  be  of  the 
house  of  ''Is'ra-el,  or  of  the 
''strangers  which  sojourn  among 
you,  that  offereth  a  "burnt  offer- 
ing or  sacrifice, 

9  And  bringeth  ^it  not  unto  the 
door  of  the  '"'tal)ernacle  of  the 
congregation,  to  offer  it  unto  the 
Lord;  even  that  man  shall  be 
''•'cutoff  from  among  his  people. 

10  *\  And  whatsoever  man 
there  he  of  the  house  of  ''Ls'ra-el, 
or  of  the  ^strangers  that  sojourn 
among  you,  that  ''eateth  any 
maimer  of  *blood;  I  will  even  set 
my  face  against  that  soul  that 
eateth  blood,  and  will '''■'cut  him 
off  from  among  his  people. 

11  For  the  life  of  the  fiesh  is  in 
the  'blood:  and  I  have  given  it  to 
you  uport.the  altar  to  make  an 

•"atonement  for  your  souls:  for 
it  is  the  ''"blood  that  maketh  an 
atonement  ''for  the  soul. 

12  Therefore  I  said  unto  the 
children  of  ''Ls'ra-el,  Xo  soul  of 
you  shall  eat  ''blood,  neither 
shall  any  ''stranger  that  sojourn- 
eth  among  you  eat  l)lood. 


13  And  whatsoever  man  there 
be  of  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el,  or 
of  the  ^strangers  that  sojourn 
among  you,  which  'huntcth  and 
catcheth  any  ""beast  or  fowl  that 
may  be  eaten;  '^he  shall  even 
poui  out  the  "blood  thereof,  and 
cover  it  with  dust. 

1-4  For  it  is  the  life  of  all  flesh; 
the  'blood  ®of  it  is  for  the  life 
thereof:  therefore  I  said  unto  the 
children  of  ''I.s'ra-el,  Ye  shall 
''■'"eat  the  "blood  of  no  manner  of 
flesh :  for  the  life  of  all  flesh  is  the 
l)lood  thereof:  whosoever  eateth 
it  shall  be  "'cut  off. 

15  And  every  sovU  that  '^''''eateth 
that  which  dietl  of  itself,  or  that 
which  was  torn  with  beasts, 
ivhether  it  be  one  of  your  own 
country,  or  a  ^stranger,  he  shall 
both  -^^  "wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be 
^'"unclean  until  the  even:  then 
shall  he  be  ''clean. 

16  But  if  he  '^•''wash  them  not, 
nor  bathe  his  flesh;  then  he  shall 
bear  his  ''inicjuity.

14  A  ^widow,  or  a  divorced

15  Neither  shall  he  profane  his 
seed  among  his  peo])le:  for  I  the 
Lord  do  'sanctify  him. 

16  T[  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
^Mo'se.s,  saying,

^'"'Whosoever  he  be  of  thy  seed 
in  their  generations  that  hath

18  For  whatsoever  man  he  he 
that  hath  a  "'"blemish,  he  shall 
not  approach:  a  *blind  man,  or  a 
■'^laine,  or  he  that  hath  a  flat

hath  his  stones  broken; 

21  No  ^man  that  hath  a 
"•"blemish  of  the  seed  of  Aar'on 
the  Spriest  shall  come  nigh  to 
offer  the  ^offerings  of  the  Lord 
made  by  fire:  he  hath  a  blemish; 
he  shall  not  come  nigh  to  offer

unto  him  of  the  '"offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire  by  a  per-

10  T[  And  the  son  of  an  Ls'ra-el- 
It-ish  woman,  whose  father  wa.i 
an  E-gyp'tian,  went  out  among 
the  children  of  "^Is'iva-el:  and 
this  son  of  the  Ls'ra-el-it-ish 
woman  and  a  man  of  Is'ra-el 
strove  together  in  the  camp; 

11  And  the  Is'ra-el-It-ish  wom- 
an's son  ^blasphemed  the  name 
of  the  Lord  and  *cursed.  And 
they  brought  him  unto  Mo'ses: 
(and  his  mother's  name  was 
Shrro-mTth,  the  daughter  of 
Dib'ri,  of  the  tribe  of  Dan:) 

12  And  they  put  him  in  "ward, 
that  the  mind  of  the  Lord  might 
be  shewed  them. 


13  And  the  Lord  '^spake  unto 
Mo'ges,  saying, 

14  Bring  forth  him  that  hath 
cursed  without  the  camp;  and 

Met  'all  tliat  heard  him  lay  their 
"hands  upon  his  head,  and  let  all 
the  "congregation  "'stone  him. 

15  And  'thou  shalt  speak  unto 
the  children  of  ''Is'ra-el,  saying. 
Whosoever  "'•'"curseth  his  God 
shall  bear  his  sin. 

16  And  he  that  ''blasphemeth

surely  be  ""put  to  ^'death,  and  all

"'stone  him :  as  well  the  ^stranger, 
as  he  that  is  born  in  the  land, 
when  he  blasphemeth  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  shall  be  put  to 
death. 

17  And  he  that  "killeth  any 
man  shall  surely  be  ''put  to 
"death. 

18  And  he  that  killeth  a  ''beast 
shall  *make  it  good;  ^beast  for

19  And  if  a  man  cause  a  blem-

done,  ''so  shall  it  be  done  to 
him; 

20  ''Breach  for  breach,  eye  for

ND  the  Lord  "spake  unto 
''Mo'.se.s  in  mount  '"Si'nai, 
saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
'^Ls'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  ye  come  into  the  ^land 
which  I  give  you,  then  shall  the 
land  keep  a  *sabbath  unto  the 
Lord. 

3  'Six  years  thou  shalt  sow  thy 
field,  and  six  years  thou  shalt 
''prune  thy  vineyard,  and  gather 
in  the  ^fruit  thereof; 

4  But  in  the  seventh  year  shall 
be  a  *sabbath  of  ''rest  unto  the 
land,  a  sabbath  for  the  Lord: 
thou  shalt  neither  ''sow  thy  field, 
nor  ^prune  thy  vineyard. 

5  That  which  groweth  of  its 
own  accord  of  thy  'harvest  thou 
shalt  not  reap,  neither  gather  the 
^grapes  of  thy  vine  undressed: 
for  it  is  a  year  of  ''rest  unto  the 
land. 

6  And  the  sabbath  of  the  land 
shall  be  meat  for  you;  for  thee 
and  for  thy  ^servant,  and  for  thy 
maid,  and  for  thy  ^hired  serv- 
ant, and  for  thy  ^stranger  that 
sojourneth  with  thee, 

7  And  for  thy  "'cattle,  and  for 
the  beast  that  are  in  thy  land, 
shall  all  the  increase  thereof  be 
hneat. 

8  ^  And  thou  shalt  number  sev- 


en sabbaths  of  years  unto  thee, 
seven  times  "seven  years;  and 
the  space  of  the  seven  sabbaths 
of  years  shall  be  unto  thee  forty 
and  nine  years. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  ^cause  the 
"trumpet  of  the  "juijile  to 
sound  on  the  tenth  day  of  the 
''seventh  ^month,  in  the  day  of 
''atonement  shall  ye  make  the 
trumpet  sound  throughout  all 
your  land. 

10  And  ye  shall  hallow  the  fif- 
tieth year,  and  proclaim  ^•''lib- 
erty throughout  all  the  land  unto 
all  the  inhabitants  thereof:  it 
shall  be  a  "jubile  unto  you;  and 
ye  shall  return  every  man  unto 
his  possession,  and  ye  shall  re- 
turn every  man  unto  his  family. 

11  A  "jubile  shall  that  fiftieth 
year  be  unto  you:  'ye  shall  not 
sow,  neither  reap  that  which 
groweth  of  itself  in  it,  nor  gather 
the  ^grapes  in  it  of  thy  vine  un- 
dressed. 

12  For  it  is  the  "jubile;  it  shall 
be  holy  unto  you :  ye  shall  eat  the 
increase  thereof  out  of  the  field. 

13  In  the  year  of  this  "jubile  ye 
shall  return  every  man  unto  his 
possession.

thy  neighbour,  or  buyest  ought 
of  thy  neighbour's  hand,  "'ye 
shall  not  oppress  one  another:

19  And  the  land  shall  yield  her 
fruit,  and  ^•''•''yc  shall  eat  your 
fill,  and  ''dwell  therein  in  safety. 

20  And  if  ye  shall  say.  What 
shall  we  eat  the  "seventh  year  ? 
behold,  we  shall  not  sow,  nor 
gather  in  our  increase: 

21  Then  '^I  will  command  my 
'blessing  upon  you  in  the  sixth 
year,  and  it  shall  bring  forth 
fruit  for  three  years. 

22  And  ye  shall  sow  the  eighth 
year,  and  eat  yet  of  old  fruit  un- 
til the  ninth  year;  until  her  fruits 
come  in  ye  shall  eat  of  the  old 
,'>tore. 

23  ^  The  ^land  shall  not  be  sold 
for  ever:  for  the  land  is  mine;  for 
ye  are  strangers  and  sojourners 
with  me. 

24  And  in  all  the  "land  of  your 
po.sse.s.sion  ye  shall  grant  a  ^re- 
demption for  the  land. 

25  Tf  If  thy  brother  be  waxen 
"poor,  and  hath  sold  away  some 
of  his  ''possession,  and  if  any  of 
his  kin  come  to  ^redeem  it,  then 
shall  he  redeem  that  which  his 
brother  sold. 

26  And  if  the  man  h;iv(>  none  to 


^redeem  "it,  and  himself  be  able 
to  redeem  it ; 

27  Then  let  him  count  the  years 
of  the  "sale  thereof,  and  restore 
the  overplus  unto  the  man  to 
whom  he  sold  it;  that  he  may 
return  unto  his  possession. 

28  But  if  he  be  not  able  to  re- 
store "it  to  him,  then  that  which 
is  sold  shall  remain  in  the  hand 
of  him  that  hath  bought  it  until 
the  year  of  jubile:  and  in  the  ju- 
bile  it  shall  go  out,  and  he  shall 
return  unto  his  possession. 

29  And  if  a  man  sell  a  dwelling 
'house  in  a  walled  city,  then  he 
may  ^redeem  it  within  a  whole 
■'■year  after  it  is  sold;  within  a 
full  year  may  he  redeem  it. 

30  And  if  it  be  not  ^redeemed 
within  the  s))ace  of  a  full  ''■year, 
then  the  *•  ■'house  that  is  in  the 
walled  city  shall  be  established 
for  ever  to  him  that  bought  it 
throughout  his  generations:  it 
shall  not  go  out  in  the   "jubile. 

31  But  'the  houses  of  the  vil- 
lages which  have  no  wall  round 
alxnit  them  shall  be  counted  as 
the  fields  of  the  country:  they 
may  be  ^redeemed,  and  they 
shall  go  out  in  the  "jubile. 

32  Notwithstanding  the  cities 
of  the  ^Le'vltes,  and  the  ''houses 
of  the  cities  of  their  possession, 
may  the  Le'vites  ^redeem  at  any 
time. 

33  And  if  ^a  man  j)urchiise  of 
the  ^Le'vites,  then  the  ''house  that 
was  sold,  and  the  city  of  his  pos- 
session, shall  go  out  in  the  year  of 
"jubile:  for  the  houses  of  the  cit- 
ies of  the  Le'vites  are  their  pos- 
session among  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el. 

34  But  the  Afield  of  the  suburbs 
of  their  cities  may  not  be  sold ;  for 
it  is  their  perpetual  possession.

35  K  And  if  thy  brother  be 
waxen  ''poor,  and  fallen  in  decay 
with  thee;  then  thou  shalt  "'-"re- 
lieve him:  yea,  though  he  be  a 
"stranger,  or  a  sojourner;  that  he 
may  live  with  thee. 

36  Take  ^thou  no  'usury  of 
''•"him,  or  increase:  but  'fear  thy 
God;  that  thy  brother  may  live 
with  thee. 

37  Thou  shalt  not  give  ''"him 
^money  upon  ''usury,  nor  "lend 
him  thy  victuals  for  increase. 

38  I  am  the  Lord  your  God, 
which  'brought  you  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  "E'gypt,  to  give  you 
the  land  of  ^'Ca'naan,  and  to  be 
your  God. 

39  Tf  And  if  thy  brother  that 
dwelleth  by  thee  be  wa.xen  ''poor, 
and  be  sold  unto  thee;  thou  shalt 
not  compel  him  to  serve  as  a 
"'bondservant: 

40  Bui  as  an  ®hired  servant, 
and  as  a  sojourner,  he  shall  be 
with  thee,  and  shall  serve  thee 
unto  the  year  of  "jubile: 

41  And  Hhen  shall  he  depart 
from  thee,  both  he  and  his  chil- 
dren with  him,  and  shall  return 
unto  his  own  family,  and  unto 
the  posses.sion  of  his  fathers  shall 
he  return. 

42  For  they  are  my  ^servants, 
which  I  ^brought  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt:  they  shall  not  be 
sold  as  bondnien. 

43  '^■*Thou  shalt  not  rule  over 
him  with  rigour;  but  shalt  '^fear 
thy  God. 

44  Both  thy  ''bondmen,  and  thy 
''bondmaids,  which  thou  shalt 
have,  shall  be  of  the  heathen  that 
are  round  about  you;  of  them 
shall  ye  buy  bondmen  and 
bondmaids. 

45  Moreover  of  the  children  of 


the  "strangers  that  do  sojourn 
among  you,  of  them  shall  ye  buy, 
and  of  their  families  that  are 
with  you,  which  they  begat  in 
your  land :  and  they  shall  be  your 
possession. 

4G  And  ye  shall  take  them  as  an 
inheritance  for  your  children  af-

possession;  they  shall  be  your 
''bondmen  for  ever:  but  over

over  another  with  rigour. 

47  T[  And  if  a  sojourner  or 
''stranger  wax  rich  by  thee,  and 
thy  brother  that  dwelleth  by  him 
wax  poor,  and  ^sell  "himself  unto 
the  stranger  or  sojourner  by  thee, 
or  to  the  stock  of  the  stranger's 
family: 

48  After  that  ^'"he  is  sold  he 
may  be  ^redeemed  again ;  one  of 
his  brethren  may  redeem  him :

uncle's  son,  may  ^'redeem  ^•"him, 
or  a7ii/  that  is  nigh  of  kin  unto 
him  of  his  family  may  redeem 
him;  or  if  he  be  able,  he  may

him  that  bought  him  from  the 
year  that  he  was  sold  to  him  unto 
the  year  of  "jubile:  anfl  the  j)rice 
of  his  sale  shall  be  according  un-

shall  give  again  the  price  of  his 
h-edemption  out  of  the  ^money 
that  he  was  bought  for.

19  And  I  will  ''break  the  "pride 
of  ''your  power;  and  I  will  make 
your  heaven  as  iron,  and  your 
earth  as  *brass: 

20  And  your  strength  shall  be 
spent  in  vain:  for  ''your  land 
shall  ^■'^not  yield  her  increase, 
neither  shall  the  trees  of  the  land 
yield  their  fruits. 

21  And  if  ye  *walk  contrary 
unto  me,  and  will  *'not  hearken 
unto  me;  I  will  bring  "seven 
times  more  ^'  "plagues  upon  you 
according  to  your  "sins. 

22  I  will  also  ^send  wild  beasts 
among  ''you,  which  shall  rob  you 
of  your  children,  and  destroy 
your  cattle,  and  make  you  few  in 
number;  and  your  high  ways 
shall  be  desolate. 

23  And  if  ""ye  will  *''not  be  re-

ujjon  you,  that  shall  ^avenge  the 
quarrel  of  viy  ''covenant:  and 
when  ye  are  gathered  together 
within  your  cities,  I  will  send  the 
"pestilence  among  you;  and  ye 
shall  be  delivered  unto  the  hand 
of  the  enemy. 

26  And  when  I  have  broken  the 
staff  of  your  bread,  ten  women 
shall  bake  your  bread  in  one 
■'^oven,  and  they  shall  deliver  yoii 
your  bread  again  by  weight :  and

27  And  if  ye  *will  not  for  all 
this  hearken  unto  me,  but  walk 
contrary  unto  me; 

28  Then  I  will  walk  contrary 
unto  ''you  also  in  fury;  antl  I, 
even  I,  will  "'chastise  you  "seven

29  And  ye  shall  ^'eat  the  flesh  of

on the  carcases  of  your  *idols, 
and  my  soul  shall  abhor  you.

waste,  and  bring  your  sanctua-

32  And  I  will  bring  the  land  in-

When  a  man  shall  'make  a  sin- 
gular '^•'^vow,  the  persons  shall  be 
for  the  Lord  by  thy  estimation. 

3  And  thy  estimation  shall  be  of 
the  male  from  twenty  years  old 
even  unto  sixty  years  old,  even 
thy  estimation  shall  be  fifty 
^shekels  of  silver,  after  the  shekel 
of  the  sanctuary. 

4  And  if  ''•"it  be  a  female,  then 
thy  estimation  shall  be  thirty 
^shekels. 

5  And  if  '^•'^it  be  from  five  years 
old  even  unto  twenty  years  old, 
then  thy  estimation  shall  be  of 
the  male  twenty  'shekels,  and  for 
the  female  ten  shekels. 

6  And  if  '^■Ht  be  from  a  month 
old  even  unto  five  years  old,  then 
thy  estimation  shall  be  of  the 
male  five  ^'shekels  of  silver,  and 
for  the  female  thy  estimation 
shall  be  three  shekels  of  silver. 

7  And  if  '^•Ht  be  from  sixty  years 
old  and  above;  if  it  be  a  male, 
then  thy  estimation  shall  be  fif- 
teen 'shekels,  and  for  the  female 
ten  shekels. 

8  But  if  he  be  poorer  than  thy 
estimation,  then  he  shall  present 
himself  before  the  priest,  and 
the  priest  ^shall  value  him;  ac- 
cording to  his  ability  that 
''•''vowed  shall  the  priest  value 
him. 

9  And  if  it  be  a  *beast,  whereof 
men  '"•''bring  an  -•^offering  unto 
the  Lord,  all  that  any  man  giv- 
eth  of  such  unto  the  Lord  shall 
be  holy. 

10  He  shall  not  alter  ''•''it,  nor 
change  it,  a  good  for  a  bad,  or  a 
bad  for  a  good :  and  if  he  shall  at 
all  change  beast  for  beast,  then 
it  and  the  exchange  thereof  shall 
be  holy. 


11  And  if  '^•Ht  be  any  unclean 
beast,  of  which  they  do  not  of- 
fer ^a  ^sacrifice  unto  the  Lord, 
then  he  shall  present  the  beast 
before  the  priest : 

12  And  the  priest  ^shall  value  it, 
whether  it  be  good  or  bad:  as 
thou  valuest  it,  who  art  the 
priest,  so  shall  it  be. 

13  But  if  he  will  at  all  ''redeem 
it,  then  he  shall  add  a  fifth  part 
thereof  unto  thy  estimation. 

1-4  Tf  And  when  a  man  shall

20  And  if  lie  will  not  ''redeem 
the  *•  "field,  or  if  lie  have  sold  the 
field  to  another  man,  it  shall  not 
be  redeemed  any  more. 

21  But  the  *■ 'field,  when  it  go- 
eth  out  in  the  '"jubile,  shall  be 
holy  unto  the  Lord,  as  a  field 
devoted;  the  "possession  thereof 
shall  be  the  priest's. 

22  And  if  a  man  '^•''sanctify  unto 
the  Lord  a  *•  afield  which  he 
hath  bought,  which  is  not  of  the 
fields  of  his  possession; 

23  Then  the  priest  'shall  reckon 
unto  him  the  worth  of  thy  esti- 
mation, even  unto  the  year  of  the 
"'jui:)ile:  and  he  shall  give  thine

thing  unto  the  Lord. 

24  In  the  year  of  the  '"jubile  the 
*• ''field  shall  return  unto  him  of 
whom  it  was  bought,  eveti  to  him 
to  whom  the  possession  of  the 
land  did  belong. 

25  Antl  all  thy  estimations  shall 
be  according  to  the  ''shekel  of  the 
sanctuary:  twenty  ^gerahs  shall 
be  the  shekel. 

26  TI  Only  the  ^firstling  of  the 
beasts,  which  should  be  the 
Lord's  firstling,  no  man  shall 
'^•'^sanctify  it;  whether  it  be  ox,  or 
sheep:  it  is  the  Lord's. 

27  And  if  ''it  be  of  an  unclean 
*beast,  then  he  shall  ^redeem  it 
according  to  thine  estimation, 
and  shall  add  a  fifth  part  of  it 
thereto:  or  if  it  be  not  redeemed, 


then  it  shall  be  sold  according  to

28  Notwithstanding  no  ''de- 
voted thing,  that  a  man  shall  de- 
vote unto  the  Lord  of  all  that  he 
hath,  both  of  man  and  beast,  and 
of  the  field  of  his  possession, 
shall  be  sold  or  ''redeemed :  every 
devoted  thing  is  most  holy  unto 
the  Lord. 

29  None  ''devoted,  which  shall 
be  devoted  of  men,  shall  be  ''re- 
deemed; but  shall  surely  be  put

30  And  all  the  '^tithe  of  the  land, 
xvhetlier  of  the  seed  of  the  land, 
or  of  the  fruit  of  the  tree,  is  the 
Lord's:  it  is  holy  unto  the 
Lord. 

31  And  if  a  man  will  at  all  ''re- 
deem ought  of  his  ''tithes,  he 
shall  add  thereto  the  fifth  pari 
thereof. 

32  And  concerning  the  ''tithe  of 
the  herd,  or  of  the  flock,  even  of 
whatsoever  passeth  under  the

the  Lord. 

33  He  shall  not  search  whether 
it  be  good  or  bad,  neither  shall 
he  change  it :  and  if  he  change  it 
at  all,  then  both  it  and  the 
change  thereof  shall  be  holy;  it 
shall  not  be  ''redeemed.

ye  put  them;  that  they  ''•''defile 
not  their  camps,  in  the  midst

4  And  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el 
did  so,  and  '^put  them  out  with- 
out the  camp:  as  the  Lord 
spake  unto  M5'se§,  so  did  the

''Md'ses,  saying, 

6  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,  When  a  man  or  woman 
shall  commit  any  sin  that  men 
commit,  to  do  a  trespass  against 
the  Lord,  and  that  person  be 
guilty; 

7  Then  ''they  shall 'confess  their 
sin  which  they  have  done:  and 
he  shall  ^''recompense  his  tres- 
pass with  the  principal  thereof, 
and  add  unto  it  the  'fifth  part 
thereof,  and  give  it  unto  him 
against  whom  he  hath  tres- 
passed. 

8  But  if  the  man  have  no  kins- 
man to  ^•'recompense  the  tres- 
pass unto,  let  the  'trespass  be 
recompensed  unto  the  Lord, 
even  to  the  priest;  beside  the 
ram  of  the  '"■"atonement,  where- 
by an  atonement  shall  be  made 
foi  him. 

9  And  every  '•  "offering  of  all  the 
holy  things  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  they  bring  unto 
the  Spriest,  shall  be  his.

he     "shall     come    at     no     dead 
body. 

7  *"'IIe  shall  not  make  himself 
"unclean  for  his  father,  or  for  his 
mother,  for  his  brother,  or  for 
his  sister,  when  they  die :  because 
the  '"consecration  of  his  God  is 
upon  his  head. 

8  All  the  days  of  his  separation 
"'he  is  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  if  any  man  die  very  sud- 
denly by  him,  and  he  hath  "de- 
filed the  head  of  his  consecra- 
tion; then  he  shall  'shave  his 
head  in  the  day  of  his  cleans- 
ing, on  the  seventh  day  shall  he 
shave  it. 

10  And  on  the  eighth  day  he 
shall  bring  two  ^' "turtles,  or 
two  young  ^'pigeons,  to  the 
priest,  to  the  door  of  the  *taber- 
nacle  of  the  congregation: 

11  And  the  ''priest  shall  offer 
the  one  for  a  *sin  'offering,  and 
the  other  for  a  "burnt  offering, 
and  make  an  *'•  "'atonement  for 
him,  for  that  he  sinned  by  the 
dead,  and  shall  hallow  his  head 
that  same  day. 

12  And  he  shall  ^consecrate  un- 
to the  Lord  the  days  of  his  sepa- 
ration, and  shall  bring  a  ^lamb 
of  the  first  year  for  a  ^' ^trespass 
'offering :  but  the  days  that  were 
before  shall  be  lost,  because  his 
separation  was  "defiled. 

13  Tf  And  this  is  the  law  of  the 
NS.7/a-rTte,  when  the  days  of  his 

separation  are  fulfilled:  he  shall 
be  brought  unto  the  door  of  the 
^tabernacle  of  the  congregation :

lamb  of  the  first  year  ^without 
"•  ''blemish  for  a  '^burnt  offering,

gled with  "oil,  and  wafers  of  un- 


leavened bread  anointed  with 
oil,  and  their  ^•''meat  oft'ering, 
and  their  'drink  offerings. 

16  And  the  'priest  shall  bring 
them  before  the  Lord,  and  shall 
offer  his  ''sin  ^offering,  and  his 
''burnt  offering: 

17  x\nd  he  shall  offer  the  ram 
for  a  sacrifice  of  ''peace  offerings 
unto  the  Lord,  with  the  basket 
of  unleavened  bread:  the  'priest 
shall  offer  also  ''his  ''meat  offer- 
ing, and  his  *drink  offering. 

18  And  the  *Na7/a-rIte  shall 
'shave  the  head  of  his  separation 
at  the  door  of  the  "'tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  and  shall  take 
the  hair  of  the  head  of  his  sepa- 
ration, and  put  it  in  the  fire 
which  is  under  the  sacrifice  of 
the  ''peace  offerings. 

19  And  the  'priest  shall  take  the 
sodden  shoulder  of  the  ram,  and 
one  unleavened  cake  out  of 
the  basket,  and  one  unleavened 
"wafer,  and  shall  put  them  upon

CHAPTER  7 

The  offering  of  the  princes  at  the  dedication 
of  the  tabernacle.  10  Their  several  offer- 
ings at  the  dedication  of  the  altar.  89 
God  speaks  to  Moses  from  the  mercy  seat. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
day  that  "Mo'.se.s  had 
fully  set  up  the  ''tabernacle,  and 
had  '^•'^anointed  it,  and  sanctified 
'"it,  and  all  the  Hnstruments 
thereof,  both  the  ''altar  and  all 
the  vessels  thereof,  and  had 
anointed  them,  and  sanctified 
them ; 

2  That  the  ^princes  of  I.s'ra-el, 
heads  of  the  house  of  their  fa- 
thers, who  tvcre  the  princes  of 
the  tribes,  and  were  over  them 
that  were  numbered,  offered: 

3  And  they  brought  their  offer- 
ing before  the  Lord,  six  cov- 
ered ''wagons,  and  twelve  'oxen; 
a  wagon  for  two  of  the  princes, 
and  for  each  one  an  ox:  and  they 
brought  them  before  the  taber- 
nacle. 

4  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
°''M6'.se.s,  saying, 

5  Take  it  of  them,  that  they 
may  be  to  do  the  service  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation; 
and  thou  shalt  give  them  unto 
the  Le'vltes,  to  every  man  ac- 
cording to  his  service. 

6  And  "Mo'.ses  took  the  *wag- 
ons  and  the  *oxen,  and  gave 
them  unto  the  Le'vltes. 

7  Two  wagons  and  four  oxen 


he  gave  unto  the  ^sons  of  Ger'- 
sh6n,  according  to  their  service : 

8  And  four  wagons  and  eight 
oxen  he  gave  unto  the  'sons  of 
Me-ra'rl,  according  unto  their 
service,  under  the  hand  of  "'Ith'- 
a-mar  the  son  of  Aar'on  the 
priest. 

9  But  unto  the  "sons  of  Ko'hath 
he  gave  none:  because  the  serv- 
ice of  the  "sanctuary  belonging 
unto  them  was  that  they  should 
bear  upon  their  shoulders. 

10  Tf  And  the  ^princes  offered 
for  Medicating  of  the  %ltar  in 
the  day  that  it  was  '^anointed, 
even  the  princes  offered  their 
offering  before  the  altar. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
'Mo'.scs,  They  shall  offer  their 
offering,  each  ''prince  on  his  day, 
for  the  ^dedicating  of  the  ''altar. 

12  If  And  he  that  offered  his 
offering  the  first  day  was  *Nah'- 
shon  the  son  of  'Am-min'a-dS,b, 
of  the  tribe  of  ''Ju'dah: 

13  And  ""his  offering  was  one 
^silver  'charger,  the  weight 
whereof  was  an  hundred  and 
thirty  '^shekels,  one  silver  "bowl 
of  seventy  shekels,  after  the 
shekel  of  the  sanctuary;  both  of 
them  were  full  of  fine  flour 
mingled  with  oil  for  a  ^•"'meat 
offering; 

14  One  ^spoon  of  ten  ^shekels 
of  ^gold,  full  of  ^incense; 

15  One  young  "bullock,  one 
ram,  one  ^iamb  of  the  first  year, 
for  a  ^burnt  ''offering: 

16  One  kid  of  the  goats  for  a 
''sin  offering: 

17  And  for  a  sacrifice  of  ''peace 
offerings,  two  oxen,  five  rams, 
five  he  goats,  five  ^lambs  of  the 
first  year:  this  was  the  offering

CHAPTER  8 

The  lighting  of  the  lamps.  5  The  consecra- 
tion of  the  l.evites.  2.'5  The  age  and  time 
of  iheir  service. 

AND  the  Lord  ''spake  unto 
''•'^Mo'.se.s,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  ''•^Aar'on,  and  say 
unto  him,  When  thou  hghtest 
the  'Uimps,  the  seven  lamps  shall 
give  liii'ht  over  against  the  ^can- 
dlestiek. 

3  And  '^■^Aar'on  did  so;  he 
lighted  the  Hanips  thereof  over 
against  tlie  ^candlestick,  as  the 
Lord  commanded  '^Mo'.ses. 

4  And  this  work  of  the  ^candle- 
stick wa.?  of  ''beaten  'gold,  unto 
the  shaft  thereof,  unto  the  flow- 
ers thereof,  was  beaten  work:  ac- 
cording unto  the  pattern  which 
the  Lord  had  "shewed  M6'se.s, 
so  he  made  the  candlestick. 

5  ^  And  the  Lord  "spake  unto 
''Mo'.se.s,  saying, 

6  'iake  the  ^Le'vltes  from 
among  the  children  of  ^Is'ra-el, 
and  '"•Meanse  them. 

7  And  thus  shalt  thou  do  unto 
them,  to  '"cleanse  them:  "Sprin- 
kle v/ater  of  ^purifying  upon 
them,  and  let  them  shave  all 
their  flesh,  and  let  them  ^wash 
their  clothes,  and  so  make  them- 
selves "clean. 

8  Then  let  them  take  a  young 
''bullock  with  his  ^•''meat  offer- 
ing, even  fine  flour  mingled  with 
oil,  and  another  young  bullock 
shalt  thou  take  for  a  *sin  'of- 
fering. 

9  And  thou  shalt  bring  the 
^Le'vTtes  before  the  "tabernacle 
of  the  congregation:  and  thou 
shalt  gather  the  whole  assembly 
of  the  children  of  ^Is'ra-el  to- 
gether: 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  the 
'"Le'vites  before  the  Lord:  and 
the  children  of  ^I§'ra-el  shall  put 
their  ''hands  upon  the  Le'vltes: 

11  And  ''•"'Aar'on  shall  offer  the 
^Le'vTtes  before  the  Lord  for  an 
offering  of  the  children  of  'I.s'- 


ra-el,  that  they  may  execute  the 
service  of  the  Lord. 

12  And  the  ^Le'vltes  shall  ^-^lay 
their  "hands  upon  the  heads  of 
the  ^bullocks:  and  thou  shalt 
offer  the  one  for  a  ^sin  "offering, 
and  the  other  for  a  *burnt  offer- 
ing, unto  the  Lord,  to  make  an 
^•''atonement  for  the  Le'vltes. 

13  And  thou  shalt  set  the  *Le'- 
vltes  before  ''•''Aar'on,  and  be- 
fore his  sons,  and  offer  them  ^for 
an  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

14  ''Thus  shalt  thou  separate 
the  ^Le'vltes  from  among  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  the  Le'- 
vltes shall  be  mine. 

15  And  after  that  shall  the 
^Le'vltes  go  in  to  do  the  service 
of  the  'tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation :  and  thou  shalt  ^'  *^cleanse 
them,  and  offer  them  ^for  an 
offering. 

16  For  ^they  are  wholly  given 
unto  me  from  among  the  chil- 
dren of  ^Ls'ra-el;  '"instead  of 
such  as  open  every  womb,  even 
instead  of  the  "firstborn  of  all  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el,  have  I  taken 
them  unto  me. 

17  For  all  the  "firstborn  of  the 
children  of  ^Is'ra-el  ai-e  mine, 
both  man  and  beast:  on  the  day 
that  I  smote  every  firstborn  in 
the  land  of  ''E'gypt  I  sanctified 
them  for  myself. 

18  And  I  have  taken  the  ^Le'- 
vltes '"for  all  the  "firstborn  of  the 
children  of  'Ls'ra-el. 

19  And  I  have  given  the  Le'- 
vltes as  a  gift  to  Aar'on  and  to  his 
sons  from  among  the  children  of 
'Is'ra-el,  to  Mo  the  service  of  the 
children  of  I.s'ra-el  in  the  ^taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  and  to 
make  an  *• ''atonement  for  the 
children  of  I,s'ra-el :  that  there  be 
no  plague  among  the  children  of 
I.s'ra-el,  when  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  come  nigh  unto  the 
^sanctuary.

and  all  the  congregation  of  the 
children  of  'Is'ra-el,  did  to  the 
''Le'vltes  according  unto  all  that 
the  Lord  commanded  Aloises 
concerning  the  Le'vites,  so  did 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  unto 
them. 

21  And  the  ^Le'vites  were 
'•^'purified,  and  they  "washed 
their  clothes;  and  ''Aar'on  of- 
fered them  ^as  an  offering  be- 
fore the  Lord;  and  Aar'on  made 
an  '•''atonement  for  them  to 
cleanse  them. 

22  And  after  that  went  the 
^Le'vites  in  to  do  their  service  in 
the  ^tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion before  Aar'on,  and  before 
his  sons:  as  the  Lord  had  com- 
manded 'IMo'ses  concerning  the 
Le'vites,  so  did  they  unto  them. 

23  T[  And  the  Lord  *'spake 
unto  Mo'se.s,  saying, 

24  This  is  it  that  belcnigeth  unto 
the  ^Le'vites :  "'from  twenty  and 
five  years  old  and  upward  they 
shall  go  in  to  wait  upon  the  serv- 
ice of  the  'tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation : 

25  And  ^from  the  age  of  fifty 
years  they  shall  cease  waiting 
upon  the  service  thereof,  and 
shall  serve  no  more: 

26  But  shall  minister  with  their 
brethren  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  to  keep  the  charge, 
and  shall  do  no  service.  Thus 
shalt  thou  do  unto  the  Le'vites 
touching  their  charge. 

CHAPTER  9 

The  pnssovrr  is  commanded  again.  6  A 
second  passover  aUoxred  for  them  that  were 
unclean  or  ah  sent.  1.5  The  cloud  guides 
the  rcmovings  and  eiicampings  of  the 
Israelites. 

AND  the  Lord  '^spake  unto 
''■^Md'ses  in  the  wilderness 
of  ''Sl'nai,  in  the  first  ''month  of 


the  second  year  after  they  were 
come  out  of  the  laiul  of  ''E'gypt, 
saving, 

2  Let  the  children  of  "Is'ra-el 
also  keep  the  *'''passover  at  his 
appointed  season. 

3  In  the  fourteenth  day  of  this 
^month,  at  even,  ye  shall  keep  it 
in  his  appointed  season:  accord- 
ing to  all  the  rites  of  it,  and  ac- 
cording to  all  the  ceremonies 
thereof,  shall  ye  keep  it. 

4  x\nd  ''Alo'ses  spake  unto  the 
children  of  "Is'ra-el,  tliat  they 
should  keep  the  *• ''passover. 

5  And  they  kept  the  *passover 
on  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  first 
^month  at  even  in  the  wilderness 
of  '^Sl'nai:  according  to  all  that 
the  Lord  "commanded  *]\l6'.ses, 
so  did  the  children  of  "Is'- 
ra-el. 

6  *\  And  there  were  certain 
men,  who  were  ^-'defiled  by  the 
dead  body  of  a  man,  that  they 
could  not  keep  the  *passover  on 
that  day:  and  they  came  before 
''Mo'ses  and  before  ^Aar'on  on 
that  day: 

7  And  those  men  said  unto  him, 
We  are  ^-^defiled  by  the  dead 
body  of  a  man :  wherefore  are  we 
kept  back,  that  we  may  not  offer 
an  ^offering  of  the  Lord  in  his 
appointed  season  among  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

8  And  ''INId'ses  said  unto  them, 
Stand  still,  and  '^I  will  hear  what 
the  Lord  will  command  con- 
cerning you. 

9  ^  And  the  Lord  "spake  unto 
''•'^Mo'.ses,  saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
"Is'ra-el,  saying,  If  any  man  of 
you  or  of  your  posterity  shall  be

yet  he  shall  keep  the  *piissover 
unto  the  Lord. 

11  The  fourteenth  day  of  the 
second  ^month  at  even  they  shall 
keep  it,  and  eat  it  with  unleav- 
ened bread  and  '"bitter  herbs. 

12  They  shall  leave  none  of  it 
unto  the  morning,  "nor  break 
any  bone  of  it;  according  to  all 
the  ordinances  of  the  *passover 
they  shall  keep  it. 

13  But  the  man  that  is  clean, 
and  is  not  in  a  journey,  and  for- 
beareth  to  keep  the  *passover, 
even  the  same  soul  shall  be  "cut 
off  from  among  his  people:  be- 
cause he  brought  not  the  offering 
of  the  Lord  in  his  appointed  sea- 
son, that  man  shall  bear  his  sin. 

14  And  if  a  ^stranger  shall  so- 
journ among  you,  and  will  keep 
the  *passover  unto  the  Lord; 
according  to  the  ^ordinance  of 
the  passover.  and  according  to 
the  manner  thereof,  so  shall  he 
do:  ye  shall  have  *one  ordinance, 
both  for  the  stranger,  and  for 
him  that  was  born  in  the  land. 

15  ^  And  on  the  day  that  the 
'tabernacle  was  reared  up  the 
*cloud  covered  the  tabernacle, 
namehj,  the  tent  of  the  testi- 
mony: and  at  even  there  was  up- 
on the  tabernacle  as  it  were  the 
appearance  of  fire,  until  the 
morning. 

16  So  it  was  alway:  the  *cloud 
covered  it  hi)  day,  and  the  ap- 
pearance of  fire  by  night. 

17  And  when  the  *■ 'cloud  was 
taken  up  from  the  tal)ernacle, 
then  after  that  the  children  of 
''I.s''ra-el  journeyed:  and  in  the 
place  where  the  cloud  abode, 
there  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el 
pitched  their  "tents. 

18  'At  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord    the  children  of  Is'- 


ra-el  'journeyed,  and  at  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  they 
pitched:  as  long  as  the  "cloud 
abode  upon  the  '^tabernacle  they 
rested  in  their  "tents. 

19  And  when  the  *■ 'cloud  tar- 
ried long  upon  the  '^tabernacle 
many  days,  then  the  chiklren  of 
''Is'ra-el  "kept  the  charge  of  the 
Lord,  and  journeyed  not. 

20  And  so  it  was,  Avhen  the 
*cloud  was  a  few  days  upon  the 
'^tabernacle;  ^according  to  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord 
they  abode  in  their  "tents,  and 
according  to  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  they  journeyed. 

21  And  so  it  was,  w^hen  the 
"cloud  abode  from  even  unto  the 
morning,  and  that  the  cloud  was 
taken  up  in  the  morning,  then 
they  journeyed:  whether  it  was 
by  day  or  by  night  that  the  cloud 
was  taken  up,  they  journeyed. 

22  Or  whether  it  were  two  days, 
or  a  month,  or  a  year,  that  the 
*• 'cloud  tarried  upon  the  '^taber- 
nacle,  remaining  thereon,  the 
children  of  ^Is'ra-el  abode  in 
their  "tents,  and  journeyed  not: 
but  when  it  was  taken  up,  they 
journeyed. 

23  At  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  they  rested  in  the 
tents,  and  at  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  they  journeyed: 
they  "kept  the  charge  of  the 
Lord,  at  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  bythe  hand  of  Mo'ses.

thou  with  us,  and  we  will  do  thee 
good:  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
good  concerning  Ls'ra-el. 

30  And  he  said  unto  him,  I  will 
not  go;  but  I  will  depart  to  mine 
own  land,  and  to  my  kindred. 

31  And  he  said,  Leave  us  not,  I 
pray  thee;  forasmuch  as  thou 


knowest  how  we  are  to  encamp 
in  the  wilderness,  and  thou  may- 
est  be  to  us  instead  of  eyes.

what  'goodness  the  Lord  shall 
do  unto  us,  the  same  will  we  do 
unto  thee. 

33  ^  And  "they  departed  from 
the  mount  of  the  Lord  three 
days'  journey:  and  the  "'^ark  of 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  went 
before  them  in  the  three  days' 
journey,  to  search  out  a  resting 
place  for  them. 

34  And  the  "'cloud  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  them  by  day,  when 
they  went  out  of  the  camp. 

35  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  "ark  set  forward,  that  "jNIo'- 
.se.s  ^said,  Rise  up.  Lord,  and 
let  thine  enemies  be  scattered; 
and  let  them  that  hate  thee  flee 
before  thee.  - 

36  And  when  it  rested,  he  ^said. 
Return,  O  Lord,  unto  the  many

side,  and  as  it  were  a  day's  jour-

about  the  camp,  and  as  it  were 
two  cubits  high  upon  the  face  of 
the  earth. 

32  And  the  people  stood  up  all 
that  day,  and  all  that  night,  and 
all  the  next  day,  and  they  gath- 
ered the  ""quails:  he  that  gath-

and  they  spread  them  all  abroad 
for  themselves  round  about  the 
"camp. 

33  And  while  the  flesh  was  yet 
between  their  teeth,  ere  it  was 
chewed,  the  ^wrath  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  the  people, 
and  the  Lord  "smote  the  people 
with  a  very  great  ''plague. 

34  And  he  called  the  name  of 
that  place  "Kib'roth-hat-ta'a-

the  peoi)le  that  lusted.

CHAPTER  12 

God  retnikes  the  sedition  of  Miriam  and 
Aaron.  10  Miriam's  leprosy.  13  .Mosr.t' 
prai/er  for  the  lirnlino  of  Miriam.  14 
God  commands  that  she  be  shutout  from, 
the  camp  seven  days. 

ND  «•  *•  ^MTr'i-ani  and  ''•  ^Var'- 
on  ^'^spake  against  ''uMo'ses 
because  of  the  ^E-thi-o'pi-an 
woman  whom  he  had  'married: 
for  he  had  married  an  E-thi- 
o'pi-an  woman. 

2  And  they  said,  'Hath  the 
Lord  indeed  spoken  only  b}' 
*j\l6'se,s  ?  ^hath  he  not  spoken 
also  by  us?  And  the  Lord 
heard  if. 

3  (Now  the  man  "']\Io'.se.s  wa,s' 
very  "meek,  above  all  the  men 
which  were  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth.) 

4  And  the  Lord  spake  sudden- 
ly unto  ''Mo'.ses,  and  unto  ''Aar'- 
on,  and  unto  "Mir'i-ain,  Come 
out  ye  three  into  the  "tabernacle 
of  the  congregation.  And  they 
three  came  out. 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  in 
the  ^pillar  of  the  cloud,  and 
stood  in  the  door  of  the  "taber- 
nacle, and  called  ''Aar'on  and 
"Mir'i-am:  and  they  both  came 
forth. 

6  And  he  said,  Hear  now  my 
words:  If  there  l)e  a  '/j)ioi)het 
among  you,  I  the  Lord  will 
make  myself  known  unto  him  in 
a  ''vision,  and  will  speak  unto 
him  in  a  *drcam. 

7  My  servant  'Mo'scs  ?'.v  not  so, 
who  is  "faitliful  in  all  mine 
house. 

8  With  'him  will  I  ''sp(>ak 
mouth  to  mouth,  even  aj^parent- 
ly,  and  not  in  dark  speeches;  an<i 
the  siiniUtude  of  the  Lord  shall 
he  behold:  wherefore  then  were 


ye  not  afraid  to  speak  against  my 
servant  Mo'ses  ? 

9  And  the  '"anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  them;  and 
he  dej)arted. 

10  And  the  ''cloud  departed 
from  off  the  "tabernacle;  and, 
i)ehold,  "Mirl-am  ^became  ^'lep- 
rous, white  as  snow:  and  ''Aar'on 
looked  upon  ]\lTr'i-am,  and,  be- 
hold, she  was  leprous. 

11  And  ''Aar'on  said  unto 
''Mo'.ses,  Alas,  my  lord,  I  be- 
seech thee,  lay  not  the  sin  upon 
us,  wherein  ^we  have  done  fool- 
ishly, and  wherein  we  have 
sinned. 

12  "Let  her  not  be  as  one  dead, 
of  whom  tlu!  flesh  is  half  con- 
suinetl  when  he  comcth  out  of 
his  mother's  womb. 

13  And  ]Mo'.se.s  ^•'^cried  unto  the 
Lord,  saying,  '^Heal  her  now, 
O  God,  I  l:)cseech  thee. 

14  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
JMo'.ses,  If  her  father  had  but 
*spit  in  her  face,  should  she  not 
l)e  ashamed  ''seven  tlays  ?  let  her 
be  ^"shutout  from  the  camp  sev- 
en days,  and  after  that  let  her 
be  received  in  again. 

15  And  "Mir'i-am  was  '"shut 
out  from  the  cam])  ^seven  days: 
and  the  j)eople  journeyed  not 
till  Mir'i-ani  was  brought  in

17  T[  And  "Md'.ses  sent  'them  to 
spy  out  the  land  of  ''Ca'naan, 
and  said  unto  them.  Get  you  up 
this  way  southward,  and  go  up 
into  the  mountain: 

18  And  see  the  "land,  what  it  is; 
and  the  people  that  dw^elleth 
therein,  whether  they  be  strong 
or  weak,  few  or  many; 

19  And  what  the  land  is  that 
they  dwell  in,  whether  it  be  good 


or  bad;  and  what  cities  they  be 
that  they  dwell  in,  whether  in 
^tents,  or  in  strong  holds: 

20  And  what  the  land  is,  wheth- 
er it  be  fat  or  lean,  whether  there 
be  wood  therein,  or  not.  And  beye 
of  good  courage,  and  bring  of  the 
fruit  of  the  land.  Now  the  time  wa^ 
the  time  of  the  first  ripe  'grapes. 

21  So  *they  went  up;  and 
searched  the  ''land  from  the  wil- 
derness of  *Zin  unto  "Re'liob,  as 
men  come  to  "Ha'math. 

22  And  'they  ascended  by  the 
south,  and  came  unto  "'He'bron ; 
where  ^A-hfman,  ^She'shai,  and 
^Tal'mai,  the  children  of  A'nak, 
were.  (Now  He'bron  was  built 
seven  years  before  "^Zo'an  in

23  And  *they  came  unto  the 
^brook  of  '^Esh'col,  and  cut  down 
from  thence  a  branch  with  one 
cluster  of  '^grapes,  and  they  bare 
it  between  two  upon  a  staff;  and 
they  brought  of  the  ^pomegran- 
ates and  of  the  *figs. 

24  The  plac«  was  called  the

from  thence.

the  '"children  of  A'nak  there. 

29  The  l\m'a-lek-ites  dwell  in 
the  land  of  the  south:  and  the 
"Hit'tltes,  and  the  "Jeb'u-sTtes, 
and  the  ^Am'or-Ites,  dwell  in  the 
mountains:  and  the  'Ca'naan- 
Ites  dwell  by  the  sea,  and  by  the 
coast  of  '■Jor'dan. 

30  And  *Ca'leb  stilled  the  peo- 
ple before  Mouses,  and  said,  'Let 
us  go  up  at  once,  and  possess  it ; 
for  "we  are  well  able  to  over- 
come it. 

31  But  the  men  that  went  up 
with  him  ^said.  We  be  not  able 
to  go  up  against  the  people;  for 
they  are  stronger  than  we. 

32  And  they  brought  up  an  evil 
report  of  the  land  which  they 
had  searched  unto  the  children 
of  I§'ra-el,  ""saying.  The  land, 
through  which  we  have  gone  to 
search  it,  is  a  land  that  eateth  up 
the  inhabitants  thereof;  and  all 
the  people  that  we  saw  in  it  are 
men  of  a  great  stature. 

33  And  there  we  saw  the  giants, 
the  '"sons  of  A'nSk,  which  come 
of  the  giants :  and  ''we  were  in  our 
own  sight  as  ^grasshoppers,  and 
so  we  were  in  their  sight. 

CHAPTER  14 

The  people  murmur.  6  Joshua  and  Caleb 
labor  to  still  them.  11  God  threatens 
them.  13  AToses  intercedes  with  God  for 
them,  and  obtains  pardon.  26  The  mur- 
mur crs  are  not  to  enter  the  promised  land. 
?,(,  The  men  who  brought  up  the  evil  report 
die  by  a  olague.  40  The  people  attempt-

smitten.

and  the  people  wept  that  night. 


2  And  all  the  children  of  'W- 
ra-el  *murmuretl  against  '^Mo'- 
ses  and  against  '^Ajir'on:  and  the 
whole  congregation  said  unto 
them,  Would  God  that  we  had 
died  in  the  land  of  E'gypt!  or 
would  God  we  had  died  in  this

3  And  *• '^wherefore  hath  the 
Lord  brought  us  unto  this  land, 
to  fall  by  the  sword,  that  our 
wives  and  our  children  should  be 
a  prey  ?  were  it  not  better  for  us 
to  return  into  E'gypt  ? 

4  And  they  'said  one  to  an- 
other, Let  us  make  a  captain, 
and  let  us  return  into  E'gypt. 

5  Then  j\l5'ses  and  Aar'on  fell 
on  their  faces  before  all  the  as- 
sembly of  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 

6  And  ^Josh'u-a  the  son  of

their  clothes: 

7  And  '-^they  spake  unto  all  the 
company  of  the  children  of  Is'-

we  passed  through  to  search  it, 
f,v  an  exceeding  good  land. 

8  If  the  Lord  delight  in  us, 
then  'he  will  bring  us  into  this

11  T[  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'se-s,  How  long  will  this  peo- 
ple ^•'^provoke  me?  and  how 
long  will  it  be  ere  they  ^'  'beheve 
me,  for  all  the  'signs  which  I 
have  shewed  among  them  ? 

12  I  will  "smite  hhem  with  the 
pestilence,  and  disinherit  them, 
and  will  make  of  'thee  a  greater 
nation  and  mightier  than  they. 

13  ""iVnd  lVIo'§es  ^-^said  unto 
the  Lord,  Then  the  ^E-gyp'- 
tians  shall  hear  it,  (for  thou 
broughtest  up  this  people  in  thy 
might  from  among  them ;) 

14  •"•  ^And  they  will  tell  it  to  the 
inhabitants  of  this  land:  for  they 
have  heard  that  thou  Lord  art 
among  this  people,  that  thou 
Lord  art  seen  face  to  face,  and 
that  thy  cloud  standeth  over 
them,  and  that  thou  goest  before 
them,  by  day  time  in  a  "pillar  of 
a  cloud,  and  in  a  pillar  of  fire  by 
night. 

15  Now  if  thou  shalt  *kill  all 
this  people  as  one  man,  then  the 
nations  which  have  heard  the 
fame  of  thee  will  speak,  saying, 

16  Because  the  Lord  was  not 
able  to  bring  this  people  into  the 
"land  which  he  ''sware  unto 
them,  therefore  he  hath  slain 
thtm  in  the  wilderness. 

17  And  now,  I  ''beseech  thee, 
let  the  power  of  my  Lord  be 
great,  according  as  thou  hast 
spoken,  sa}'ing, 

18  The  Lord  is  ^■'^longsuffer- 
iiig,  and  of  great  ^mercy,  ^forgiv- 
ing iniquity  and  transgression, 
and  by  no  means  clearing  the 
guilty,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the 
fathers  upon  the  ''children  unto 
the  third  and  fourth  generation. 

19  ''Pardon,  I  beseech  thee,  the 


iniqtiity  of  this  people  according 
unto  the  greatness  of  thy  ^mercy, 
and  as  thou  hast  ''forgiven  this 
people,  from  'E'gypt  even  until 
now. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  I  have 
"pardoned  according  to  thy 
word : 

21  But  as  truly  as  I  live,  all  the 
earth  shall  be  filled  with  the 
%lory  of  the  Lord. 

22  Because  all  those  ^men 
which  have  seen  my  'glory,  and 
my  'miracles,  which  I  did  in 
'E'gypt  and  in  the  Avilderness, 
and  have  tempted  me  now  these 
ten  times,  and  have  '"■"•"not 
hearkened  to  my  voice; 

23  Surely  ^thcy  ^shall  not  see 
the  ''land  which  I  ''sware  unto 
their  fathers,  neither  shall  any  of 
them  that  ^provoked  me  see  it: 

24  But  my  servant  ^Ca'leb,  be- 
cause he  had  another  spirit  with 
him,  and  '^•^hath  followed  me 
fully,  'him  will  I  bring  into  the 
*land  whereinto  he  went;  and 
his  seed  shall  possess  it. 

25  (Now  the  "Am'a-lek-Ites 
and  the  ''Ca'naan-Ites  dwelt  in 
the  valley.)  To  morrow  "'turn 
you,  and  get  you  into  the  wilder- 
ness by  the  way  of  the  •''Red 
sea. 

26  T[  And  the  Lord  ^spake  unto 
Mo'.ses  and  unto  Aar'on,  say- 
ing. 

27  How  long  shall  I  hear  with 
this  evil  congregation,  which 
murmur  against  me  ?  ^I  have 
"heard  the  *munnurings  of  the 
children  of  Ts'ra-el,  which  they 
murmur  against  me. 

28  Say  unto  them,  As  truly  as  I 
live,  saith  the  Lord,  as  ye  have 
spoken  in  mine  ears,  so  will  I  do 
to  you :

greatly. 

40  And  they  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  gat  them  up  into

t  DISP'KLI.OWSHIP.  In  order  to  Impress  the  children 
of  Israel  with  the  iicressity  of  holiness  as  the  only  ground 
of  fellowship  Willi  (iod  and  with  the  righteous,  we  find  many 
lessons  on  holiness  In  the  Mosaic  ordinances.  The  deslirti 
of  these  lessons  was  to  teach  the  Israelites,  and  throu(;h 
them  all  people  for  all  time,  that  holiness  Is  the  supreme 
attribute  of  those  who  please  Cod:  and  that  without  it 
man  must  be  forever  separated  from  Him.  The  following 
Scriptures  describe  one  of  the  object  lessons  by  which  this 
great  central  truth  of  the  system  of  Mosaic  Instruction  was 
kept  prominently  before  the  public  mind.  They  teach  that 
defllement  must  separate  the  defiled  from  the  undeflled  and 
hence  sin  must  separate  the  unholy  from  the  holy.  There- 
fore the  soul  that  violated  the  ordinances  was  "cut  off 
from  Israel,"  or    "cut   off   from    the   congregation,"  etc., 


that  Is,  was  deprived  of  the  privileges  enjoyed  by  those 
who  were  oliedlcnt  to  the  law. 

Jesus  ordained  this  mode  of  discipline.  Matt.  15:18.  It 
was  enjoined  as  a  corrective  measure  In  apostolic  times,  see 
under  sub-head  En.ioined,  below.

^Ls'ra-el  were  in  the  wilderness, 
they  found  a  man  that  gath- 
ered sticks  upon  the  ^sabbath 
day. 

33  And  they  that  found  him 
gathering  sticks  brought  him  un- 
to Mo'se.s  and  Aar'on,  and  unto 
all  the  congregation. 

34  And  they  put  him  in  ''ward, 
because  it  was  not  declared  what 
should  be  done  to  him. 

35  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'.scs,  "The  man  shall  be 
surely  'put  to  "death:  all 
the  congregation  shall  ^stone 
him  with  stones  without  the 
camp. 

36  And  all  the  congregation 
brought  him  without  the  camp, 
and  '-^'stoned  him  with  stones, 
and  he  died;  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo'.se.s. 

37  ^  And  the  Lord '"spake  unto 
Mo'.se.s,  saying,

Ls'ra-el,  and  bid  them  that 
they  make  them  ^' ^fringes  in 
the  borders  of  their  garments

for  a  fringe,  that  ye  may  look  up- 
on it,  and  remember  all  the  com-

CHAPTER  16 

The  rebellion  of  Korah,  Dathan,  and  Abi- 
rarn.  23  Moses  separates  the  people  from 
the  rebels'  tents.  31  The  earth  swallows 
up  Korah  and  his  company:  and  a  fire 
consumes  the  others.  36  Their  censers 
used  to  cover  the  altar.  41  Fourteen 
thousand  and  seven  hundred  are  slain  by 
a  plague  for  murmuring  against  Moses 
and  Aaron.  46  The  plague  Is  stayed  by 
Aaron. 

NOW  *'«Ko'rah,  the  son  of 
Iz'har,  the  son  of  Ko'- 
hath,  the  son  of  Le'vl,  and  ^Da' 
than  and  ^A-bl'ram,  the  sons  of 
"E-h'ab,  and  On,  the  son  of  Pe'- 
leth,  '^sons  of  Reii'ben,  took  inen: 

2  And  '^'^•'they  "•''rose  up  be- 
fore *Mo'se.s,  with  certain  of  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el,  two  hundred 
and  fifty  princes  of  the  assembly, 
famous  in  the  congregation,  men 
of  renown: 

3  And  they  ^gathered  them- 
selves together  *^against  *Mo'.ses 
and  against  'Aar'on,  and  '"said 
unto  them,  ^Ye  take  too  much 
upon  you,  seeing  all  the  congre- 
gation are  holy,  every  one  of 
them,  and  the  Lord  is  among 
them :  wherefore  then  "hf t  ye  up 
yourselves  above  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  Lord  ? 

4  And  when  ^Mo'se§  heard  it, 
he  *fell  upon  his  face: 

5  And  he  spake  unto  "■  *K6'rah 
and  unto  all  his  company,  say- 
ing. Even  to  morrow  the  Lord 
will  shew  who  are  his,  and  ^who 
is  holy;  and  will  cause  him  to 
come  near  unto  him:  even  him 
v/hom  he  hath  'chosen  will  he 
cause  to  come  near  unto  him. 

6  This  do;  Take  you  "censers, 
*Ko'rah,  and  all  his  company; 

7  And  put  fire  therein,  and  put 
"incense  in  them  before  the 
Lord  to  morrow:  and  it  shall  be 
that  the  man  whom  the  Lord 
doth  'choose,  he  shall  be  ^- 'holy:

9  "Seemeth  it  but  a  small  thing 
unto  you,  that  the  God  of  I.s'- 
ra-el  hath  separated  ^you  from 
the  congregation  of  Ls'ra-el,  to 
bring  you  near  to  hiniseU"  to  do 
tlie  service  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  Lord,  and  to  stand  before 
the  congregation  to  minister  un- 
to them  ? 

10  And  he  hath  brought  thee 
near  to  hivi,  and  all  thy  brethren 
the  ^sons  of  Le'vl  with  thee:  and 
^seek  ye  the  ^priesthood  also  ? 

11  For  which  cause  both  thou 
and  all  thy  company  are  gath- 
ered together  against  the  Lord: 
and  what  is  "Aar'on,  that  ye 
''murmur  against  him  ? 

12  \  And  '^jNlo'.ses  sent  to  call 
^Da'than  and  -^A-bl'i-am,  the 
sons  of  E-li'ab:  which  said, 
"•''We  will  not  come  up:

thou  hast  brought  us  up  out  of  a 
land  that  floweth  with  milk  and

altogether  a  prince  over  us  ?

unto  all  the  congregation.

'^Mo'se.s  and  unto  "Aar'on,  say- 
ing,

I  may  ''consume  them  in  a

'God  of  the  spirits  of  all  flesh, 
shall  oncMuan  sin,  and  wilt  thou 
be  wrotli  witli  all  tlie  congre- 
gation ? 

23  ^  And  the  Loud  spake  unto 
Mo'se.s,  saying, 

24  Speak  unto  the  congrega- 
tion, saying,  Get  you  up  from 
about  the  tabernacle  of  Ko'- 
rah,    ^Da'than,  and    -^A-by'ram. 

25  And  '^Mo'.se.s  rose  up  and 
went  unto  ^Da'than  and  ^A-bi'- 
ram;  and  the  "elders  of  Is'ra-el 
followed  him. 

2G  And  he  spake  unto  the  con-

pray  you,  from  the  tents  of  these

shall  know  that  the  Lord  hath 
■^sent  me  to  do  all  these  works; 
for  I  have  not  done  them  of  mine 
own  mind. 

29  If  these  men  die  the  common 
death  of  all  men,  or  if  they  be 
visited  after  the  visitation  of  all 
men;  ihe7i  the  Lord  hath  not 
sent  me. 

30  But  if  the  Lord  make  a  new 
thing,  and  the  earth  open  her 
mouth,  and  ^swallow  them  up, 
with  all  that  appertain  unto 
them,  and  they  go  down  ^quick 
into  the  pit;  then  ye  shall  under- 
stand that  these  men  have  -pro- 
voked the  Lord. 

31  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
had  made  an  end  of  speaking  all 
these  words,  that  the  ground 
^' ''clave  asunder  that  ^vas  under 
them : 

32  And  the  earth  "opened  her 
mouth,  and  ^swallowed  them  up,

that  appertained  unto  Ivo'rah, 
and  all  their  goods. 

33  They,  and  all  that  apper- 
tained to  them,  went  down  alive 
into  the  pit,  and  the  earth  closed 
upon  them:  and  they  ^perished 
from  among  the  congregation.

round  about  them  fled  at  the  cry 
of  them :  for  they  said.  Lest  the 
earth  swallow  us  up  also.

from  the  Lord,  and  consumed 
the  two  hundred  and  fifty  men 
that  offered  incense.

lowed.^

against  their  own  souls,  let  them 
make  them  broad  plates  for  a 
covering  of  the  ^altar:  for  they 
offered  them  before  the  Lord, 
therefore  they  are  hallowed :  and 
they  shall  be  a  *sign  unto  the

took  the  brasen  '^censers,  where-

of  Aar'on,  ^come  near  to  offer 
'"incense  before  the  Lord;  that 
he  be  not  as  *Ko'rah,  and  as  his

him  by  the  hand  of  Mo'se.s. 

41  *\  But  on  the  morrow  all  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of

out  from  the  Lord;  the 
m:.  -rplaorue  is  begun. 

47  And  PAar'on  took  as  *Mo'- 
.ses  commanded,  and  ran  into  the 
midst  of  the  congregation;  and, 
behold,  the  "'■  -^plague  was  begun 
among  the  people:  and  he  put  on 
""incense,  and  made  an  '^atone- 
ment for  the  people. 

48  And  he  "stood  between  the 
dead  and  the  living;  and  the 
"'plague  was  stayed. 

49  Now  they  that  died  in  the 
'"plague  were  fourteen  tiiousand 
and  seven  hundred,  beside  them 
that  died  about  the  matter  of

God  commands  the  tribes  to  bring  their  rods. 
8  Only  Aaron's  rod  flourishes.  10  II  is 
kept  for  a  token  against  the  rebels. 

AND  the    Lord  spake    unto 
"Mo'.ses,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
''I.s'ra-el,  and  take  of  every  one 
of  them  a  rod  according  to  the 
house  of  their  fathers,  of  all 
their  '^princes  according  to  tlu> 
house  of  their  fathers  twelve 
rods:  write  thou  cwcry  man's 
name  upon  his  rod. 

3  And  thou  shalt  write  '^Aar'- 
on's  name  upon  the  rod  of  ''Le'- 
vi:  for  one  rod  sJiall  be  for  the 
head  of  the  house  of  their 
fathers. 

4  And  thou  shalt  lay  them  up  in 
the  -^tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion before  the  testimony,  ''where 
I  will  meet  with  you. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  thaf 
the  man's  rod,  whom  I  shall 
choose,  ''shall  blossom:  and  I 
will  make  to  cease  from  me  the 
'murmurings  of  the  children  of 
*Is'ra-el,  thereby  they  murmur 
atgainst  you. 


6  ^  And  'Mo'.se.s  spake  unto  the 
children  of  ''I.s'ra-el,  and  every 
one  of  their  '^princes  gave  him 
a  rod  apiece,  for  each  prince 
one,  according  to  their  father's 
houses,  even  twelve  rods:  and 
tlie  'rod  of  Aar'on  ^vas  among 
their  rods. 

7  And  "Mo'.scs  laid  up  the  rods 
before  the  Lord  in  the  ''tal^er- 
nacle  of  witness. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  morrow  "Mo'.se.s  went  into 
the  ^tabernacle  of  witness;  and, 
behold,  the  'rod  of  Aar'on  for 
the  house  of  ^Le'vT  was  budded, 
and  brought  forth  buds,  and 
l)loomed  blossoms,  and  ^yielded 
^'almonds. 

9  And  "Mo'.ses  brought  out  all 
the  rods  from  l)efore  the  Loiti) 
unto  all  the  children  of  ''Ls'ra-el: 
and  they  looked,  and  took  ev(>r}' 
man  his  rod. 

10  ^  And  the  TiOUD  said  unto 
^Nld'scs,  Bring  Aar'on's  'rod 
again  before  the  'testimony,  to 
be  kept  for  a  '"token  against  the 
rebels;  and  thou  shalt  quite  take 
away  their  "munnurings  from 
me,  that  they  die  not. 

11  And  "Mo'.scs  did  .90:  as  the 
Lord  commanded  him,  so  did 
he. 

12  And  the  children  of  "Ts'ra-el 
s[)akc  unto  "Mo'.se.s,  saying.  Be- 
hold, "we  die,  wc  perish,  we  all 
perish. 

13  Whosoever  coineth  aiiy 
thing  near  unto  the  ^tahernaclc 
of  the  Lord  shall  die:  shall  we 
be  consumed  with  dying  ?

19  ''All  the  Cleave  offerings  of 
the  holy  things,  which  the  chil- 
dren of  I§'ra-el  offer  unto  the 
Lord,  have  I  given  thee,  and 
thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  with 
thee,  'by  a  statute  for  ever:  it  is 
a  ^' ^covenant  of  ^'"salt  for  ever 
before  the  Lord  unto  thee  and 
to  thy  seed  with  thee. 

20  ^  And  the  Lord  spake  unto

heritance in  their  luiul,  neither 
shalt  thou  have  any  part  among 
them:  ''■"'■  °l  am  thy  part  and 
thine  inheritance  among  the

21  And,  behold,  I  have  given 
the  children  of  Le'vl  all  the

itance, for  their  service  which 
they  serve,  even  the  service  of  the

22  Neither  must  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  henceforth  come  nigh 
the  'tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, lest  they  bear  sin,  and  die. 

23  But  the  'Le'vIteS  shall  do  the 
service  of  the  'tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  they  shall 
bear  their  iniquity:  it  shall  be  a 
statute  for  ever  throughout  your 
generations,  that  among  the  chil- 
dren of  ls'ra-el  they  have  no

24  But  the  *■  tithes  of  the  chil-

as  an  heave  \)ffering  unto  the 
Lord,  I  have  given  to  tlu;  T>r'-

said  unto  them,  Among  the  chil-

no  inheritance. 

25  f  And  the  I^ord  "spake  un- 
to 'Mo'ses,  saying,

ye  take  of  the  children  of  I.s'ra-el 
the  *•  ^tithes  which  I  have  given 
you  from  them  for  your  inher- 
itance, then  ye  shall  offer  up  an 
'heave  offering  of  it  for  the 
Lord,  even  a  tenth  part  of  the 
tithe. 

27  And  this  your  4ieave  offer- 
ing shall  be  reckoned  unto  you, 
as  though  it  were  the  corn  of  the 
threshingfloor,  and  as  the  fulness 
of  the  "winepress. 

28  Thus  ye  also  shall  off'  r  an 
*heave  offering  unto  the  Lc  rd  of 
all  your  *tithes,  which  ye  receive 
of  the  children  of  ls'ra-el;  and  ye 
shall  give  thereof  the  T^ord's 
''heave  offering  to  Aar'on  the

29  Out  of  all  your  gifts  ye  shall 
offer  every  Mieave  offering  of  the 
Lord,  of  all  the  best  thereof, 
evefi  the  hallowed  part  thereof 
out  of  it. 

30  Therefore  thou  shalt  say  un- 
to them.  When  ye  have  heaved 
the  best  thereof,  then  it  shall  be 
counted  unto  the  Le'vltes  as  the 
increase  of  the  threshingfloor, 
and  as  the  increase  of  the  "wine-

31  And  ye  shall  eat  it  in  every

for  it  is  your  ''reward  for  your 
service  in  the  'tab(«rnacle  of  the

by  reason  of  it,  when  ye  have

4  And  ''E-le-a'zar  the  'priest 
shall  take  of  her  '•  '^blood  with  his 
finger,  and  'sprinkle  of  her  blood 
^directly  before  the  '"tabernacle

5  And  one  sliall  burn  the  *heifer 
in  his  sight;  her  skin,  and  her

dung,  shall  he  burn: 

6  And  the  'priest  shall  take  '^ce- 
dar wood,  and  "hyssop,  and  ''scar-

the  burning  of  the  heifer. 

7  Then  the  priest  shall  ^wash

his  flesh  in  water,  and  afterward 
he  shall  come  into  the  camp,  and

shall  wash  his  clothes  in  water, 
and  ^bathe  his  flesh  in  water,

9  And  a  man  that  is  ''clean  shall 
gather    up    the    ^ashes    of   the 

•''heifer,  and  lay  them  up  with- 
out the  camp  in  a  clean  place, 
and  it  shall  be  kept  for  the  con- 
gregation of  the  children  of  Is'-

it  is  a  ^purification  for  sin. 

10  And  he  that  gathereth  the 
^ashes  of  the  heifer  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  be  ''■^unclean  until 
the  even :  and  it  shall  be  unto  the 
children  of  I.s'ra-el,  and  unto  the 
'stranger  that  sojourneth  among 
them,  for  a  statute  for  ever. 

11  T[  He  that  '^toucheth  the 
dead  body  of  any  man  shall  be

12  He  shall  ^purify  himself 
with  it  on  the  third  day,  and  on 
the  seventh  day  he  shall  be 
''clean:  but  if  he  purify  not  him- 
self the  third  day,  then  the  sev- 
enth day  he  shall  not  be  clean. 

13  Whosoever  "toucheth  the 
dead  body  of  any  man  that  is 
dead,  and  ■'■purifieth  not  him- 
self, defileth  the  "'tabernacle  of

^cut  off  from  I.s'ra-el:  because

14  This  is  the  law,  when  a  man 
dieth  in  a  tent :  all  that  come  into 
the  tent,  and  all  that  ?'*  in  the  tent, 
shall  be  "unclean  seven  days.

CHAPTER  20 

Tlir  children  of  Israel  come  to  Zin,  where 
Miriam  dies.  2  Thai  murmur  for  want 
(if  valer.  7  Moses  smites  the  rock  at 
Mcrihah,  anil  water  comes  forth.  14 
Moses  at  Kadcsh  desires  a  passage 
through  Edom,  which  is  denied.  22 
Aaron  dies  at  mount  Hor,  and  the  high- 
priesthood  jMsscs  to  Eleazar. 

THEN  came  the  children  of 
T.s'ra-el,  even  the  whole 
congregation,  into  the  desert  of 
"Zm  in  the  first  ''•''month:  and 


the  people  abode  in  '^Ka'desh; 
and  ''Mir'i-am  died  there,  and 
was  buried  there. 

2  And  there  was  no  water  for 
the  congregation :  and  they  gath- 
ered themselves  together  against 
''Mo'se.s  and  against  ''Aar'on. 

3  And  the  ''people  'chode  W'th 
Mo'.se.s,  and  spake,  'saying, 
Would  Gotl  that  we  had  died 
when  oiu-  Ijrethren  died  before 
the  Lord! 

4  And  'why  have  ye  brought  up 
the  congregation  of  the  Lord  in- 
to this  wilderness,  'that  we  and 
our  cattle  should  die  there  ? 

5  And  'wherefore  have  ye  made 
us  to  come  up  out  of  P^'gypt,  to 
bring  us  in  unto  this  evil  place  ? 
it  is  no  place  of  seed,  or  of  figs, 
or  of  vines,  or  of  pomegranates; 
neither  is  there  any  water  to 
drink. 

6  And  ^Mo'ses  and  ^Aar'on 
went  from  the  presence  of  the 
assembly  unto  the  door  of  the 
'tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
and  they  fell  upon  their  faces: 
and  the  'glory  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peared unto  them. 

7  ^  And  tHe'LoRD  spake  unto 
Mo'.se.s,  saying, 

8  '"Take  the  rod,  and  gather 
thou  the  assembly  together, 
thou,  and  Aar'on  thy  brother, 
and  speak  ye  unto  tlu^  rock  be- 
fore their  eyes;  and  it  shall  give 
forth  his  water,  and  thou  shalt 
bring  forth  to  them  water  out  of 
the  rock:  so  thou  shalt  give  the 
congregation  and  their  beasts 
drink.

t  PURIFIC.VTION.  In  studying  the  Mosaic  law  re- 
latinR  to  purilicatioiis,  It  must  be  kept  in  mind  that  sin 
defiles.  To  keep  this  great  truth  constantly  before  the 
mind  of  the  Israelites  specific  ordinances  concerning  puri- 
fications were  given  to  Moses:  the  purpose  being,  by  this 
object  lesson,  to  teach  that  sin  defiles  and  only  the  pure  in 
heart  can  see  God.  Therefore  certain  incidents,  such  as 
eating  that  which  had  died  of  itself,  touching  the  dead, 
etc.,  were  signified  as  defiling,  and  definite  ceremonies  were 
prescribed  for  persons  who  were  defiied.  During  the  period 
of  defilement,  and  when  performing  the  ceremonies  required 
of  them,  the  defiled  were  expected  to  contemplate  tlie 
defilement  of  sin  and  the  need  of  purification  of  the 
heart.

9  And  Mo'.ses  took  the  rod  from 
before  the  Lord,  as  he  com- 
manded him. 

10  And  "Mo'seg  and  "Aar'on 
gathered  the  congregation  to- 
gether before  the  rock,  and  he 
said  unto  them,  ^Hear  now,  ye 
rebels;  must  we  fetch  you  water 
out  of  this  rock  ? 

11  And  "Mo'ses  lifted  up  his 
hand,  and  with  his  rod  he  *smote 
the  rock  twice:  and  the  ''•*• 'water 
came  out  abundantly,  and  the 
congregation  drank,  and  their 
beasts  also. 

12  ^  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
"Mo'se.s  and  "Aar'on,  Because 
"ye  ^believed  me  not,  to  sanctify 
me  in  the  eyes  of  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,  therefore  "*•  ^ye  shall  not 
bring  this  congregation  into  the 
land  which  I  have  given  them. 

13  This  is  the  water  of  ^/Mer'i- 
bah;  because  the  children  of 
''Is'ra-el  strove  with  the  Lord, 
and  he  was  sanctified  in  them. 

14  ^  And  Mo'.s&s  sent  ^messen- 
gers from  ^Ka'desh  unto  the 
king  of  ''E'dom,  Thus  saith  thy 
brother  '^I.s'ra-el,  Thou  knowest 
all  the  travel  that  hath  befal- 
len us: 

15  How  our  fathers  went  down 
into  '^E'gypt,  and  we  have  dwelt 
in  E'gypt  a  long  time;  and  the 
*£-gyp'tians  vexed  us,  and  our 
fathers : 

16  And  when  we  ''cried  unto  the 
Lord,  he  heard  our  voice,  and 
sent  an  %ngel,  and  hath  brought 
us  forth  out  of  '^E'gvpt :  and,  be- 
hold, we  are  in  "Ka'desh,  a  city 
in  the  uttermost  of  thy  border: 

17  Let  us  pass,  I  pray  thee, 
through  thy  country:  we  will  not 
pass  through  the  fields,  or 
through  the  ''vineyards,  neither 
will  we  drink  of  the  water  of  the 
wells:  we  will  go  by  the  king's 


^high  way,  we  will  not  turn  to  the 
right  hand  nor  to  the  left,  until 
we  have  passed  thy  borders. 

18  And  "E'dom  said  unto  him, 
^Thou  shalt  not  pass  by  me,  lest 
I  come  out  against  thee  with  the 
sword. 

19  And  the  children  of  ^Is'ra-el 
said  unto  him,  We  will  go  by  the 
'high  way:  and  if  I  and  my  cattle 
drink  of  thy  water,  then  I  will 
pay  for  it:  I  will  only,  without 
doing  anything  else,  go  through 
on  my  feet. 

20  And  he  said,  ^'^Thou  shalt 
not  go  through.  And  "E'doni 
came  out  against  him  with  much 
people,  and  with  a  strong  hand. 

21  Thus  ''E'dom  ''•^refused  to 
give  Is'ra-el  passage  through  his 
border:  wherefore  Is'ra-el  turned 
away  from  him. 

22  ^  And  the  children  of  I.s'- 
ra-el,  even  the  whole  congrega- 
tion, journeyed  from  "Ka'desh, 
and  came  unto  mount    Hor, 

23  And  the  IvORD  spake  unto 
Mo'.ses  and  Aar'on  in  mount 
*H6r,  by  the  coast  of  the  land  of 
^E'dom,  saying, 

24  'Aar'on  shall  be  gathered 
unto  his  people:  for  he  shall 
not  enter  into  the  land  which  I 
have  given  unto  the  children  of 
I.s'ra-el,  because  ye  '"rebelled 
against  my  word  at  the  water 
of  "Mer'i-bah. 

25  Take  'Aar'on  and  °E-le-a'- 
zar  his  son,  and  bring  them  up 
into  mount  *H6r: 

26  And  strip  Aar'on  of  his  gar- 
ments, and  put  them  upon  "E-le- 
a'zar  his  son:  and  'Aar'on  shall 
be  gathered  unto  his  people,  and 
shall  die  there. 

27  And  ]\l6'ses  did  as  the  Lord 
commanded:  and  they  went  up 
into  mount  *H6r  in  the  sight  of 
all  the  congregation.

CHAPTER  21 

The  Israelites  dcstrou  the  Canaanltes  at 
Ilormah.  4  They  munntir,  and  are 
plagued  with  fiery  serpents.  7  They  re- 
pent, and  an  healed  in  looking  upon  tne 
l>ra:c?i  serpent.  10  Sundry  journeys  of 
the  Israelites.  21  Slhon  is  overcome,  33 
and  also  Og. 

AND  when  king  "A'rad  the 
Ca'naan-Ite,  which  dwelt 
in  the  south,  heard  tell  that  Ls'- 
ra-el  came  by  the  way  of  tlie 
spies;  then  he  fought  against  Ts'- 
ra-el,  and  took  some  of  them 
prisoners. 

2  And  Is'ra-el  vowed  a  ''vow 
unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  If  thou 
wilt  indeed  deliver  this  people 
into  my  hand,  then  I  will  utterly 
destroy  their  cities. 

3  And  the  Lord  hearkened  to 
the  voice  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  deliv- 
ered up  the  '^Ca'nilan-Ttes;  and 
''they  utterly  destroyed  them  and 
their  cities:  and  he  called  the 
name  of  the  place  '"Tlor'mah. 

4  *\  And  tlH>y  j(Mirneyed  from 
mount  'Hor  by  the  way  of  the 
''Red  sea,  to  compass  the  land  of 
''E'dom:  and  the  soul  of  the  peo- 
ple was  much  discouraged  be- 
cause of  the  way. 

5  And  the  people  ^spake  against 
frod,  and  against  'Mo'.ses, 
^Wherefore  have  ye  brought  us 
up  out  of  I'^/gypt  to  die  in  the 
wilderness  ?  for  iJiere  is  no  bread, 


neither  is  there  an;/  water;  and 
our  soul  loathcth  this  light 
bread. 
G  And  the  Lord  '-'"sent  fiery 
•"serpents  among  the  "people, 
and  they  bit  the  people;  and 
much  people  of  I.s'ra-el  died. 

7  ''Therefore  the  people  came 
to  jNIo'ses,  and  said,  ^''We  have 
sinned,  for  we  have  spoken 
against  the  Lord,  and  against 
thee;  pray  unto  the  TvORD,  that 
he  take  away  the  serpents  from 
us.  And  ]\Io^se.s  "prayed  for  the 
people. 

8  And  the  'Lord  said  unto 
Mo'se.s,  Make  thee  a  fiery  *ser- 
pent,  and  set  it  upon  a  pole:  and 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  every 
one  that  is  bitten,  when  he  look- 
eth  upon  it,  shall  live. 

9  "And  Mo'.ses  made  a  *•"•"  ser- 
pent of  brass,  and  put  it  upon  a 
pole,  and  it  came  to  pass,  that  if 
a  serpent  had  bitten  any  man, 
when  he  beheld  the  serpent  of 
bra.ss,  he  lived. 

10  Tf  And  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el  set  forward,  and  pitched 
in  ^O'both. 

11  And  they  journeyed  from 
^O'both,  and  pitched  at  ^Tj'c- 
rib'a-rTm,  in  the  wilderness 
which  is  before  ^Mo'ab,  toward 
the  sunrising. 

12  ^  From  thence  they  re- 
moved, and  pitclu'd  in  the  valley 
of  "Za'red. 

13  From  thence  they  removed, 
and  pitched  on  the  other  side  of

^Yhat  he  did  in  the  Red  sea,  and 
in  the  ^brooks  of  ''xlr'non, 

15  And  ^at  the  stream  of  the 
brooks  that  goeth  down  to  the 
dwelhng  of  ^Ar  and  heth  upon 
tlie  border  of  '^Mo'ab. 

16  ^  And  from  thence  they  tvmt 
to  Be'er:  that  is  the  well  whereof 
the  Lord  spake  unto  ''Mo'se.s, 
Gather  the  people  together,  and 
I  will  give  them  water. 

17  Then  ''Is'ra-el  ^sang  this 
^song,  Spring  up,  O  well;  sing 
ye  unto  it: 

18  The  princes  digged  the  well, 
the  nobles  of  the  people  digged 
it,  by  the  direction  of  the  law- 
giver, with  their  staves.  And

20  And  from  ''Ba'moth  in  the 
valley,  that  is  in  the  country  of 
"Mo'ab,  to  the  top  of  Tis'gah, 
which  looketh  ^toward  Jesh'i- 
nion. 

21  T[  And  ''Is'ra-el  sent  '"mes- 
sengers unto  ^Sl'hon  king  of  the 
'Arn'or-Ites,  saying, 

22  Let  me  pass  through  thy 
land:  we  will  not  turn  into  the 
fields,  or  into  the  "vineyards;  we 
will  not  drink  o]  the  waters  of  the 
well :  hut  we  will  go  along  by  the 
king's  "high  way,  until  we  l)e 
past  thy  borders. 

23  And  ^Sl'hon  ^would  not  suf- 
fer Ls'ra-el  to  pass  through  his 
border:  but  Si'hon  gathered  all 
his  people  together,  and  went 
out  against  Ls'ra-el  into  the  wil- 
derness :  and  he  came  to  *  Ja'haz, 
and  fought  ag-ainst  Is'ra-el. 


24  And  ''Ls'ra-el  smote  him 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
possessed  his  land  from  Ar'non 
unto  ■'^Jab'bok,  even  unto  the 
^children  of  Am'mon:  for  the 
border  of  the  children  of  Am- 
mon  was  strong. 

25  And  '■  Is'ra-el  took  all  these 
cities:  and  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  all 
the  cities  of  the  '^Am'or-ites,  in 
'Hesh'bon,  and  in  all  the  vil- 
lages thereof. 

26  For  Hesh'bon  loas  the  city  of 
^Si'hon  the  king  of  the  Am'or- 
Ites,  who  had  fought  against  the 
former  king  of  "j\Io'ab,  and  ta- 
ken all  his  land  out  of  his  hand, 
even  unto  Ar'non. 

27  Wherefore  they  that  speak 
in  proverbs  say,  ^'Come  into 
Hesh'bon,  let  the  city  of  ^Si'hon 
be  built  and  prepared : 

28  "For  there  is  a  fire  gone  out 
of  'Hc.sh'b6ii,  a  flame  from  the 
city  of  '^Sl'hon :  it  hath  consumed 
^Ar  of  IMo'ab,  and  the  lords  of

29  'Woe  to  thee,  "JNIo'ab!  thou

13  x'Vnd  Ba'kam  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  said  unto  the  prin- 
ces of  ^Ba'lak,  Get  you  into  your 
land:  for  the  Lord  refuseth  to 
give  me  leave  to  go  with  you. 

14  And  the  princes  of  Mo'ab 
rose  up,  and  they  went  unto  Ba'- 
lak,  and  said,  Ba'laam^refuseth 
to  come  with  us. 

15  ^  And  Ba'lak  sent  yet  again 
princes,  more,  and  more  honour- 
able than  they. 

16  And  they  came  to  'Ba'laam, 
and  said  to  him,  Thus  saith 
^Ba'lak  the  son  of  '^'Ztp'por, 
Let  nothing,  I  pray  thee,  hinder 
thee  from  coming  unto  me: 

17  For  I  will  "promote  thee  un- 
to very  great  honour,  and  I  will 
do  whatsoever  thou  sayest  unto 
me'  come  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
cvu'se  me  this  people. 

IS  And  ^Ba'laam  answered  and 
said  unto  the  servants  of  Ba'lak, 
If  Ba'lak  would  give  me  his 
house  full  of  'silver  and  '^gold,  "I 
"■'cannot  go  beyond  the  word  of 
the  Lord  my  God,  to  do  less  or 
more. 

19  Now  therefore,  I  pray  you, 
tarry  ye  also  here  this  night,  that 
^I  may  know  what  the  Lord 
will  say  unto  me  more. 

20  And  God  came  unto  *Ba'- 
laam  at  night,  and  said  unto 
him.  If  the  men  cume  to  call 
thee,  rise  up,  and  go  with  them ; 
but  yet  the  word  which  I  shall 
say  unto  thee,  that  shalt  thou  do. 

21  x\nd  Ba'laam  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  saddled  his  ass, 
and  went  with  the  ''princes  of 
/jNIo'ab. 

22  Tl  And  God's  "anger  was 
kindled  because  4ie  went:  and 
the  "'angel  of  the  Lord  stood  in 
the  way  for  an  adversary  against 
him.  Now  he  was  riding  upon 
his  ass,  and  his  two  servants 
were  with  him. 


23  And  the  ass  saw  the  '"angel 
of  the  Lord  standing  in  the  way, 
and  his  sword  drawn  in  his 
hand:  and  the  ass  turned  aside 
out  of  the  way,  and  went  into  the 
field:  and  'Ba'laam  ^smote  the 
ass,  to  turn  her  into  the  way. 

24  But  the  '"angel  of  the  Lord 
stood  in  a  path  of  the  vineyards, 
a  wall  being  on  this  side,  and  a 
wall  on  that  side. 

25  And  when  the  ass  saw  the 
"'angel  of  the  Lord,  she  thrust 
herself  unto  the  wall,  and 
crushed  Ba'laam's  foot  against 
the  wall:  and  he  ^smote  her 
again. 

26  And  the  "'angel  of  the  Lord 
went  further,  and  stood  in  a  nar- 
row place,  where  wa.v  no  way  to 
turn  either  to  the  right  hand  or 
to  the  left. 

27  i.\nd  when  the  ass  saw  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  she  fell  down 
under  Ba'laam:  and  Ba'laam's 
^anger  was  kindled,  and  he 
■'"smote  the  ass  with  a  staff. 

28  And  the  Lord  ^opened  the 
mouth  of  the  ass,  and  she  said 
unto  Ba'laam,  What  have  I  done 
unto  thee,  that  thou  hast  *smit- 
ten  me  these  three  thnes  ? 

29  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  the 
ass,  Because  thou  hast  mocked 
me :  '"1  would  there  were  a  sword 
in  mine  hand,  for  now  would  I 
kill  thee. 

30  x\nd  the  ass  said  unto  Ba'- 
laam, Am  not  I  thine  ass,  upon 
which  thou  hast  ridden  ^ever 
since  /  was  thine  unto  this  day  ? 
was  I  ever  wont  to  do  so  unto 
thee  ?  And  he  said.  Nay. 

31  Then  the  Lord  opened  the 
eyes  of  "Ba'laam,  and  he  saw  the 
''angel  of  the  Lord  standing  in 
the  way,  and  his  sword  drawn 
in  his  hand :  and  he  bowed  down 
his  head,  and  fell  flat  on  his 
face.

thou  '"smittoii  thiiic  a.s.s  these 
three  time.s  ?  behold,  I  went  out 
to  "withstand  thee,  because  iJu) 
''way  is  perverse  before  me : 

33  And  the  ass  saw  me,  and 
turned  from  me  these  three 
times:  unless  she  had  turned 
from  me,  surely  now  also  I  had 
*slain  thee,  and  saved  her  alive. 

34  And  "Ba'laam  said  unto  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  ^I  have 
sinned;  for  1  knew  not  that  thou 
stoodest  in  the  way  against  me: 
now  therefore,  if  it  displease 
thee,  1  will  get  me  back  again. 

35  And  the  ''angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  Ba'laam,  Go  with  the 
men:  but  only  ^the  word  that  I 
shall  speak  unto  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  speak.  So  Ba'laam  went 
with  the  princes  of  ^Ba'lak. 

36  1[  And  when  ^Ba'lak  heard 
that  ''Ba'laam  was  come,  he 
went  out  to  meet  him  unto  a  city 
of  ''IMo'ab,  which  is  in  the  bor- 
der of  ■'■Ar'non,  which  is  in  the 
utmost  coa.st. 

37  And  +Ba'lak  said  unto  '^Ba'- 
laam, Did  I  not  earnestly  send 
unto  thee  to  call  thee?  where- 
fore camest  thou  not  unto  me  ? 
am  I  not  able  indeed  to  ''pro- 
mote thee  to  honour  ? 

38  And  Ba'laam  said  .mto  Ba'- 
lak,  Lo,  I  am  come  unto  thee: 
have  I  now  any  power  at  all  to 
say  any  thing?  ^the  word  that 
God  putteth  in  my  mouth,  that 
shall  1  speak. 

39  And  "Ba'laam  went  with 
^Ba'lrdv,  and  they  came  unto 
KTr'jath-hfi'zoth. 

40  And  Ba'lak  offered  oxen 
and  sheep,  and  sent  to  Bfi'laain, 
and  to  the  princes  that  were  with 
him. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  t6a'lrd<  took  '^Ba'- 
laam, and  brought  him  up  into 
the  '^high  places  of  'Ba'al,  that 


thence  he  might  see  the  utmost

here  seven  oxen  and  seven  rams. 

2  And  "Ba'lak  did  as  "Ba'laam 
had  spoken;  and  Ba'lak  and 
Ba'laam  oflered  on  every  ''altar

3  And  "Ba'laam  said  unto  ''Ba'-

Lord  will  come  to  meet  me: 
and  whatsoever  he  ^sheweth  me 
1  will  tell  thee.  Ami  he  went

pared '^seven  ''altars,  and  I  have 
offered  upon  every  altar  a  'bul-

5  And  the  Lord  ^put  a  word  in 
"Ba'laam's  mouth,  and  said,  Re- 
turn unto  ''Ba'lak,  and  thus  thou 
shalt  speak. 

6  And  he  returned  unto  him, 
and,  lo,  he  stood  by  his  ''burnt 
sacrifice,  he,  and  all  the  ])rinces 
of  "IM(-)'ab. 

7  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  ''Ba'lak  the  king  of 
'Mo'ab  hath  brought  me  from 
A'ram,  out  of  the  mountains  of

10  t  And  "Ba'lak's  ^anger  was 
kindled  against  ''Ba'laam,  and 
he  smote  his  hands  together:  and 
Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'laam,  I 
called  thee  to  curse  mine  ene- 
mies, and,  behold,  thou  hast  al- 
together blessed  them  these  three 
times. 

11  Therefore  now  flee  thou  to 
thy  place :  "I  thought  to  promote 
thee  unto  great  honour;  '^but,  lo, 
the  *LoRD  hath  kept  thee  back 
from  honour. 

12  And  ^Ba'laam  said  unto  Ba'- 
lak,  Spake  I  not  also  to  thy  mes- 
sengers which  thou  sentest  unto 
me,  saying, 

13  If  Ba'lak  would  give  me  his 
house  full  of  "silver  and  ''gold,  'I 
'■•"'cannot  go  beyond  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord,  to  do 
cither  good  or  bad  of  mine  own 
mind;  but  what  the  Lord  saith, 
that  will  I  speak  ? 

14  And  now,  behold,  I  go  unto 
my  people:  come  therefore,  coid 
1  will  advertise  thee  what  this 
people  shall  do  to  thy  people  in 
the  latter  days. 

15  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  "Ba'laam  the  son  of 
Be'or  hath  said,  and  the  man 
whose  ^eyes  are  open  hath 
said: 

16  ^He  hath  said,  which  heard 
the  words  of  God,  and  knew  the 
knowledge  of  the  most  High, 
which  saw  the  ''vision  of  the 
Almighty,  falling  Hnto  a  trance, 
but  having  his  eyes  open : 

17  1  shall  see  him,  but  not  now: 
I  shall  behold  him,  but  not 
nigh :  there  shall  come  a  ^'  ^-^Star 
out  of  Ja'cob,  and  a  "Sceptre 
shall  rise  out  of  T.s'ra-el,  and 
shall  smite  the  corners  of  Mo'- 
ab,  and  destroy  all  the  ^children 
of  Sheth 


18  And  "E'dom  shall  be  a  pos- 
session, ''Se'ir  also  shall  be  a 
possession  for  his  enemies;  and 
Ls'ra-el  shall  do  valiantly. 

io  Out  of  Ja'cob  shall  come  he 
that  shall  have  dominion,  and 
shall  destroy  him  that  remaineth 
of  the  city. 

20  And  when  he  looked  on 
'^Am'a-lck,  he  took  up  his  para- 
ble, and  said,  Am'a-lek  icas  the 
first  of  the  nations :  but  his  latter 
end  shall  he  that  he  perish  for 
ever. 

21  And  he  looked  on  the  ^Ken'- 
Ites,  and  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  Strong  is  thy  dwelling- 
place,  and  thou  puttest  thy  'nest 
in  a  rock. 

22  Nevertheless  the  ^Ken'ite 
shall  be  wasted,  until  ^As'shur 
shall  carry  theo  away  captive. 

23  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  Alas,  who  shall  live 
when  God  docth  this! 

24  x\nd  ''ships  shall  come  from 
the  coast  of  'Chit'tim,  and  shall 
afflict  ''As'shur,  and  shall  afflict 
^E'ber,  and  he  also  shall  perish 
for  ever. 

25  And  'Ba'laam  rose  up,  and 
went  and  returned  to  his  place: 
and  ^Ba'lak  also  went  his  way.

52  \  And  the  Lord  spake  unto

The  daughters  of  Zc'ophehad  plead  for  an 
inheritance.  6  The  law  of  inheritances. 
12  Mose.-!.  being  told  of  his  death,  prays 
for  a  successor.  18  .Joshua  is  appointed 
to  succeed  him. 

rPHEN  came  the  daughters  of 
J-  *Ze-l6'phe-hatl,  the  son  of 
°He'pher,  the  son  of  "Gil'e-ad, 
the  son  of  INla'chir,  the  son  of 
'^INIa-nas'seh,  of  the  families  of 
jMa-nas'seh  the  son  of  '^Jo'.seph: 
and  these  are  the  names  of  his 
'^daughters;  'Mah'lah,  ''Xo'ah, 
and  ^Hog'lah,  and  "Mn'cah, 
and  ^Tir'zah. 

2  And  *they  stood  before 
^'^■^Mo'.ses,  and  before  '«E-le-a'- 
zar  the  priest,  and  before  the 
princes  and  all  the  congregation, 
by  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  saying, 

3  "Our  father  died  in  the  wil- 
derne.ss,  and  he  was  not  in  the 
company  of  them  that  gathered 
themselves  together  against  the 
Lord  in  the  company  of  "Kr/- 
rah;  but  died  in  his  own  sin,  and 
had  no  sons. 

4  Why  should  the  name  of  our 
father  be  done  away  from 
among  his  family,  l^ecause  he 
hath  no  son?  ''Give  unto  us 
therefore  a  ''•'possession  among 
the  brethren  of  our  father. 

5  And  Mr/ses  ^brought  their 
cause  before  the  Lord. 

6  ^  And  the  Lord 'spake  unto 
Mo'.se-s,  saying, 


7  The  *■  "daughters  of  *Ze-l(y- 
phe-had  speak  right:  'thou  shalt 
surely  give  them  a  possession  of 
an  ^inheritance  among  their 
father's  bivthnMi;  and  thou  shalt 
cause  the  inheritance  of  their 
father  to  pass  unto  them. 

8  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto  the 
children  of  "'Is'ra-el,  saying,  'If 
a  man  die,  and  have  no  son,  then 
ye  shall  cause  his  ^•''' '^inherit- 
ance to  pa.ss  unto  his  "••''daugh- 
ter. 

9  And  'if  he  have  no  daughter, 
then  ye  shall  give  his  ■^•''inherit- 
ance unto  his  brethren. 

10  And  'if  he  have  no  brethren, 
then  ye  shall  give  his  ■'■•'^inherit- 
ance unto  his  father's  brethren. 

11  And  "if  his  father  have  no 
brethren,  then  ye  shall  give  his 
^•'^inheritance  unto  his  kinsman 
that  is  next  to  him  of  his  family, 
and  he  shall  possess  it:  and  it 
shall  be  unto  the  children  of 
"Ts'ra-el  a  statute  of  judgment, 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'- 
.ses. 

12  T[  And  the  I.,ORD  said  unto 
"Mo'ses,  Get  thee  up  into  this 
mount  ^Ab'a-rim,  and  see  the 
"land  which  1  have  given  unto 
the  children  of  I.s'ra-el. 

13  And  when  thou  hast  .seen  it, 
thou  also  shalt  be  gatliered  unto 
thy  people,  as  "Aar'on  <hy

unto  the  Lord,  and  bind  herself 
by  a  bond,  being  in  her  father's 
house  in  her  youth ; 

4  And  '^her  'father  hear  her 
*vow,  and  her  bond  wherewith 
she  hath  bound  her  soul,  and  her 
father  shall  hold  his  peace  at 
her:  then  all  her  vows  shall 
stand,  and  every  bond  where- 
with she  hath  bound  her  soul 
shall  stand. 

5  But  if  '*her  ^father  disallow 
her  in  the  day  that  he  heareth; 
not  any  of  her  *vows,  or  of  her 
bonds  wherewith  she  hath  bound 
her  soul,  shall  stand:  and  the 
Lord  shall  forgive  her,  because 
her  father  disallowed  her. 

6  And  if  ''•^she  had  at  all  an 
^husband,  hvhen  she  vowed, 
or  uttered  ought  out  of  her  lips, 
wherewith  she  bound  her  soul; 

7  And  '^"'her  ^husband  heard 
if,  and  held  his  peace  at  her  in 
the  day  that  he  heard  if :  then  her 
*vows  shall  stand,  and  her

soul  shall  stand. 

8  But  if  '^"'her  ^husband  disal- 
lowed her  on  the  day  that  he 
heard  ii;  then  he  shall  make  her 
*vow  which  she  vowed,  and  that 
which  she  uttered  with  her  lips, 
wherewith  she  bound  her  soul,  of 
none  effect:  and  the  Lord  shall 
forgive  her. 

9  But  every  *vow  of  a  ^widow, 
and  of  her  that  is  divorced, 
wherewith  they  have  bound 
their  souls,  shall  stand  against 
her. 

10  And  if  '^•^she  vowed  in  her 
^husband's  house,  or  bound  her 
soul  by  a  bond  with  an  *oath; 

11  And  '^•''her  ^husband  heard 
if,  and  held  his  peace  at  her,  and 


disallowed  her  not:  then  all  her 
*vows  shall  stand,  and  every 
bond  wherewith  she  bound  her 
soul  shall  stand. 

12  But  if  ''■'her  ^husband  hath 
utterly  made  them  void  on  the 
day  he  heard  them;  then  whatso- 
ever proceedeth  out  of  her  lips 
concerning  her  vows,  or  con- 
cerning ihe  bond  of  her  soul, 
shall  not  stand:  her  husband 
hath  made  them  void;  and  the 
Lord  shall  forgive  her. 

13  Every  *vow,  and  every  bind- 
ing *oath  to  afflict  the  soul,  ''"'her 
^husband  may  establish  it,  or 
her  husband  may  make  it  void. 

14  But  if  ''•''her  "^husband  alto- 
gether hold  his  peace  at  her  from

all  her  *vows,  or  all  her  bonds, 
which  are  upon  her:  he  confirm-

peace  at  her  in  the  day  that  he 
heard  them. 

15  But  if  ^he  shall  any  ways 
make  them  void  after  that  he 
hath  heard  fhrrn;  then  he  shall 
bear  ''"'her  iniquity. 

16  These  are  the  statutes, 
which  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo'ses,  between  a  '^man  and  his 
''•%ife,  between  the  '^father  and 
his  ''daughter,  being  yet  in  her 
youth  in  her  father's  house.

3  And  iNlo'.se.s  spake  unto  the 
people,  saying,  Arm  some  of 
yourselves  unto  the  ''war,  and 
let  them  go  against  the  '^^Iid'i- 
an-ites,  and  avenge  the  Lord  of 
Midl-an. 

4  Of  every  tribe  a  ^thousand, 
throughout  all  the  tribes  of 
''Is'ra-el,  shall  ye  send  to  the 
''war. 

5  So  there  were  delivered  out 
of  the  thousands  of  Is'ra-el,  a 
thousand  of  even/  tribe,  ^twelve 
thousand  armed  for  ''war. 

6  And  M6'se.§  sent  them  to  the 
''war,  a  ''thousand  of  even/  tribe, 
them  and  'Phin'e-has  the  son  of 
^E-le-a'zar  the ''priest,  to  the  war, 
with  the  4ioly  instruments,  and 
the  *trmnpets  to  blow  in  his 
hand. 

7  And  ''they  ''warred  against 
the  ''Midl-an-Ites,  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'.se.s;  and  they 
^slew  all  the  males. 

8  And  they  ^'slew  the  kings  of 
^lid'i-an,  beside  tiie  rest  of  them 
that  were  slain;  namely,  ''^E'vl, 
and  'Re'kem,  and  '"Zftr,  and 
"Hur,  and  "lie'ba,  five  kings  of 
Mid'i-an:  ^^Ba'laair.  also  the  son 
of  Be'or  they  slew  with  the 
sword. 

9  And  the  children  of  "Is'ra-c! 
took  all  the  ''women  of  Mid'i-an 
''captives,  and  their  little  ones, 
and  took  the  ^spoil  of  all  their 
cattle,  and  all  tlieir  flocks,  and 
all  their  goods. 

10  And  they  burnt  all  their 
cities  wherein  they  dwelt,  and 
all  their  goodly  ca.stles,  with  fire. 

11  And  they  took  all  the  'spoil, 
and  all  the  prey,  hoik  of  men  and 
of  beasts. 

12  And  they  brought  the  '^cap- 
tives,  and  the  prey,  and  the 
*spoil,  unto  Mo'.se.s,  and  E-le-a'- 
zar  the  priest,  and  unto  the  con- 
sreg-ation  of  the  ciiildreii  of  Ls'- 


ra-el,  unto  the  camp  at  the 
plains  of  'Mo'ab,  which  are  by 
"Jor'dan  near  *'Jer'i-cho. 

13  Tf  "'And  Mo'ses,  and  E-le-a'- 
zar  the  priest,  and  all  the  princes 
of  the  congregation,  went  forth 
to  meet  them  without  the 
camp. 

14  And  ^jSIo'.ses  was  ^wroth 
with  the  officers  of  the  host, 
with  the  ^captains  over  thou- 
sands, and  captains  over  hun- 
dreds, which  came  from  the 
-battle. 

15  x\nd  ^Mo'ses  said  unto 
them.  Have  ye  saved  all  the 
women  alive  ? 

16  Behold,  "these  caused  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  through  the 
counsel  of  ''Ba'laam,  to  commit 
trespass  against  the  Lord  in  the 
matter  of  '^Pe'or,  and  there  was 
a  ''plague  among  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  Loud. 

17  Now  therefore  '^Idll  every 
male  among  the  kittle  ones,  and 
kill  every  woman  that  hath 
known  man  by  lying  with  him. 

18  But  all  the  women  children, 
that  have  not  known  a  man  by 
lying  with  him,  keep  alive  for 
yourselves. 

19  And  do  "ye  abide  without 
the  camp  .seven  days:  whosocViM* 
hath  kil'cd  any  person,  and  who- 
soever hath  ''touched  any  slain, 
'j)unry  both  yourselves  and  your 
captives  on  the  third  day,  and 
on  the  seventh  day.

that  was  taken,  both  of  man 
and  of  beast,  thou,  and  ^'E-le-a'- 
zar  the  Spriest,  and  the  chief  fa-

27  And  divide  the  *prey  into 
two  parts;  between  ''them  that 
took  the  war  upon  them,  who 
went  out  to  battle,  and  between 
all  the  congregation:

Lord  of  the  men  of  war  which 
went  out  to  battle:  one  soul  of 
five  hundred,  both  of  the  "'per-

the  asses,  and  of  the  sheep:

the  Lord.

portion  of  fifty,  of  the  persons, 
of  the  beeves,  of  the  asses,  and  of

bring  us  not  over  ^Jor'dan. 

6  ^  And  IMo'.se.s  said  unto  the 
children  of  "Gad  and  to  the 
"children  of  Reu'ben,  +• 'Shall 
your  brethren  go  to  war,  and 
'"shall  ye  sit  here  ? 

7  And  wherefore  discourage^  ye 
the  heart  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el  from  going  over  into  the 
"land  which  the  Lord  hath 
given  them  ? 

8  t-'Thus  did  your  fathers, 
when  I  sent  "them  from  ^Ka'- 
desh-bar'ne-a  to  see  the  "land. 

9  For  when  "they  went  up  unto 
the  valley  of  'Esh'col,  and  saw 
the  "land,  they  discouraged  the 
heart  of  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el, 
that  they  should  not  go  into  the 
land  which  the  Lord  had  given 
them. 

10  And  the  Lord's  ''anger  was 
kindled  the  same  time,  and  he 
sware,  saying, 

11  Surely  none  of  the  *men  that 
came  up  out  of  'E'gypt,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward, 
shall  see  the  "land  which  I 
"sware  unto  "A'bra-ham,  unto 
"'I'.saac,  and  unto  ^Ja'cob;  be- 
cause they  have  not  wholly  fol- 
lowed me: 

12  Save  ^Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je- 
phiin'neh  the  Ken'ez-ite,  and 
^Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Niin:  for 
they  have  wholly  followed  the 
Lord. 

13  And  the  Lord's  ''anger  was 
kindled  against  Is'ra-el,  and  he 
made  them  wander  in  the  wil- 
derness "forty  years,  until  all  the 
'■generation,  that  had  done  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  was 
consumed. 

14  And,  '^behold,  ^ye  are  risen 
up  in  your  father's  stead,  an  in- 
crease of  sinful  men,  to  augment 
yet  the  fierce  "anger  of  the  Lord 
toward  Ls'ra-el. 

15  For  '^"'if  ye  turn  away  from 


after  him,  he  will  yet  again  leave 
them  in  the  wilderness;  and  ye 
shall  destroy  all  this  people. 

16  Tl  And  "'"they  came  near  un- 
to him,  and  said,  'We  will  build 
sheepfolds  here  for  our  cattle, 
and  cities  for  our  little  ones: 

17  But  ''■''we  ourselves  will  go 
ready  armed  before  the  children 
of  I.s'ra-el,  until  we  have  brought 
them  unto  their  place:  and  our 
little  ones  shall  dwell  in  the 
fenced  cities  because  of  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land. 

18  ''•''We  will  not  return  unto 
our  houses,  until  the  children  of 
I.s'ra-el  have  inherited  every 
man  his  inheritance. 

19  For  "'"we  will  not  inherit 
with  them  on  yonder  side  Mor'- 
dan,  or  forward;  because  our  in- 
heritance is  fallen  to  us  on  this 
side  Jor'dan  eastward. 

20  ^  And  ^'Mo'.ses  said  unto 
them,  If  ye  will  do  this  thing,  it 
ye  will  go  armed  before  the 
Lord  to  'war, 

21  And  will  go  all  of  you  armed 
over  'Jor'dan  before  the  Lord, 
until  he  hath  driven  out  his  ene- 
mies from  l)efore  him, 

22  And  the  '"land  be  svibdued 
before  the  Lord:  then  after- 
ward ye  shall  return,  and  be 
guiltless  before  the  Lord,  and 
before  Is'ra-el;  and  this  "land 
shall  l)e  your  possession  before 
the  Lord. 

23  But  if  ye  will  not  do  so,  be- 
hold, ye  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord:  and  be  sure  your  "sin 
will  find  ''you  out. 

24  Build  you  cities  for  your 
little  ones,  and  folds  for  'your 
sheep;  and  do  that  which  hath 
proceeded   out   of  your  mouth. 

25  And  the  children  of  "Gad 
and  the  ''children  of  Reii'ben 
spake  unto  ]Mo'se.s,  saying,  Thy 
servants  will  do  as  my  lord

If  the  children  of  ^Gad  and  the 
^children  of  Reii'ben  will  pass 
with  you  over  ^or'dan,  every 
man  armed  to  'battle,  before  the 
Lord,  and  the  '"land  shall  be

shall  give  them  the  land  of  "Gil'-

30  But  if  they  will  not  pass  over 
with  you  armed,  they  shall  have 
possessions  among  you  in  the 
land  of  '"Ca'naan. 

31  And  the  children  of  ''Gad 
and  the  ''children  of  Reu'ben 
answered,  saying.  As  the  Lord 
hath  said  unto  thy  servants,  so 
will  we  do. 

32  ^Ve  will  pass  over  armed  be- 
fore the  Lord  into  the  land  of

33  And  Ald'.se.s  gave  unto  them,

gave  other  names  unto  the  "cities 
which  they  builded.

chirthe  son  of  Ma-nas'seh  went 
to  "Gil'e-ad,  and  took  it,  ?nd  dis- 
possessed the  ''Am'or-ite  which

When  ye  come  into  the  ''land  of

shall  fall  unto  you  for  an  in- 
heritance, even  the  land  of  Ca'- 
naan  with  the  ''coasts  thereof:) 

3  Then  ''your  south  quarter 
shall  be  from  the  wilderness  of 
'Zin  along  by  the  coast  of 
/E'dom,  and  your  south  border 
shall  be  the  outmost  coast  of  the 
salt  sea  eastward : 

4  And  your  border  shall  turn 
from  the  south  to  the  ascent  of 
^A-krab'bim,  and  pass  on  to 
''Zin:  and  the  going  forth  thereof 
shall  be  from  the  south  to  ''Ka'- 
desh-bar'ne-a,  and  shall  go  on 
to  'Ha'zar-ad'dar,  and  pass  on 
to  ^Az'mon : 

5  And  the  '^border  shall  fetch  a 
compass  from  'Az'mon  unto  the 
'river  of  '^E'gypt,  and  the  goings 
out  of  it  shall  be  at  the  sea. 

6  And  as  for  the  ''western  bor- 
der, ye  shall  even  have  the  'great 
sea  for  a  border:  this  shall  be 
your  west  border. 

7  And  this  shall  be  your  ''north 
border:  from  the  'great  sea  ye 
shall  point  out  for  you  mount 
"'Hor: 

8  From  mount  '"Hor  ye  shall 
point  out  your  border  unto  the 
entrance  of  "Ha'math;  and  the 


goings  forth  of  the  ''border. shall 
beto^Ze'dad: 

9  And  the  border  shall  go  on  to 
Ziph'ron,  and  the  goings  out  of 
it  shall  be  at  ^Ha'zar-e'nan:  this 
shall  be  your  north  border. 

10  And  ye  shall  point  out  your 
''east  border  from  ^Ha'zar-e'nan 
to  She'pham : 

1 1  And  the  ''coast  shall  go  down 
from  She'pham  to_  *Rib'lah,  on 
the  east  side  of  A'in;  and  the 
border  shall  descend,  and  shall 
reach  unto  the  side  of  tlie  'sea

12  And  the  border  shall  go 
down  to  '■Jor'dan,  and  the  go- 
ings of  it  shall  be  at  the  *salt  sea: 
this  shall  be  your  land  with  the 
coasts  thereof  round  about. 

13  And  Mo'se.s  commanded  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  This 
is  the  4and  which  ye  shall  in- 
herit by  "lot,  which  the  Lord 
commanded  to  give  unto  the 
nine  trilics,  and  to  the  half  tribe: 

14  For  the  tribe  of  the  ^'children 
of  Reu'ben  according  to  the 
house  of  their  fathers,  and  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  "'Gad  ac- 
cording to  the  house  of  their  fa- 
thers, have  received  their  in- 
heritance; and  half  the  tribe  of 
^Ma-nas'seh  have  received  their 
inheritance: 

15  The  two  tribes  and  the  half 
tribe  have  received  their  inherit- 
ance on  this  side  '^Jor'dan  near 
^Jer'i-cho  eastward,  toward  the

cho,  saying, 


2  Command  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,  that  they  give  unto  the 
Le'vites  of  the  inheritance  of 
their  possession  *''cities  to  dwell 
in ;  and  ye  shall  give  aho  unto  the 
Le'vltes  ''suburl)s  for  the  cities 
round  about  them. 

3  And  the  *'*cities  shall  they 
have  to  dwell  in;  and  the  ''sub- 
urbs of  them  shall  be  for  their 
cattle,  and  for  their  goods,  and 
for  all  their  beasts. 

4  And  the  '^sulnirbs  of  the  "'■''cit- 
ies, which  ye  shall  give  unto  the 
Le'vltes,  shall  reach  from  the 
wall  of  the  city  and  outward  a 
thousand  cubits  round  about. 

5  And  ye  shall  measure  from 
without  the  city  on  the  east  side 
two  thousand  cubits,  and  on  the 
south  side  two  thousand  cubits, 
and  on  the  west  side  two  thou- 
sand cubits,  and  on  the  north 
side  two  thousand  cubits;  and 
the  city  shall  be  in  the  midst:  this 
shall  be  to  them  the  "suburbs  of 
the  cities. 

6  And  among  the  ''cities  which 
ye  shall  give  unto  the  Le'vltes 
there  shall  be  six  *c:ties  for  ref- 
uge, which  ye  shall  appoint  for 
the  manslayer,  that  he  may  flee 
thither:  and  to  them  ye  shall  add 
forty  and  two  cities. 

7  So  all  the  ''cities  which  ye  shall 
give  to  the  Le'vltes  shall  be  forty 
and  eight  cities:  them  sJiall  ye

8  And  the  *cities  which  ye  shall

'give  many;  but  from  them  that 
have  few  ye  shall  give  few:  every

''Mo'se.s,  saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  ye  be  '^ome  over  ''Jor'dan 
into  the  land  of  ^Ca'naan; 

11  Then  ye  shall  appoint  you 
cities  to  be  *cities  of  refuge  for 
you;  that  the  slayer  may  flee 
thither,  which  %illeth  any  per- 
son at  unawares. 

12  And  they  shall  be  unto  you 
*cities  for  refuge  from  the  aven- 
ger; that  the  manslayer  die  not, 
until  he  stand  before  the  ^con- 
gregation in  judgment. 

13  And  of  these  *cities  which 
ye  shall  give  six  cities  shall  ye 
have  for  refuge. 

14  Ye  shall  give  three  *cities 
on  this  side  ''Jor  dan,  and  three 
cities  shall  ye  give  in  the  land  of 
''Ca'naan,  which  shall  be  cities 
of  refuge. 

15  These  six  *cities  shall  be  a 
refuge,  both  for  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,  and  for  the  ^stranger, 
and  for  the  sojourner  among 
them :  that  every  one  that  ^killeth 
any  person  'unawares  may  flee 
thither. 

16  And  if  he  'smite  him  with  an 
instrument  of  ""iron,  so  that  he 
die,  he  is  a  ^murderer:  the  ^mur- 
derer shall  surely  be  '^ut  to 
"death. 

17  And  if  he  'smite  liim  with 
throwing  a  stone,  wherewith  he 
may  die,  and  he  die,  he  is  a 
^murderer:  the  ^murderer  shall 
surely  be  "put  to  "death. 

18  Or  if  he  'smite  him  with  an 
hand  weapon  of  wood,  where- 
with he  may  die,  and  he  die,  he 
is  a  ^murderer:  the  ^murderer 
shall  surely  be  "put  to  "death. 

19  The  ^' ^revenger  of  blood 
himself  shall  "slay  the  ^mur- 
derer: when  he  meeteth  him,  he 
shall  slay  him. 


20  But  if  he  'thrust  him  of  ha- 
tred, or  hurl  at  him  by  laying  of 
wait,  that  he  die; 

21  Or  in  enmity  'smite  with  his 
hand,  that  he  die:  he  that  smote 
him  shall  surely  be  "put  to 
"death;  for  he  is  a  ^murderer: 
the  ^■''revenger  of  blood  shall 
"slay  the  ^murderer,  when  he 
meeteth  him. 

22  But  if  he  'thrust  him  sud- 
denly without  enmity,  or  have 
cast  upon  him  any  thing  without 
laying  of  wait, 

23  Or  with  any  stone,  where- 
with a  man  may  die,  seeing 
him  not,  and  cast  it  upon 
him,  'that  he  die,  and  was  not 
his  enemy,  neither  sought  his

24  Then  the  'congregation  shall 
judge  between  the  ^slayer  and

ing to  these  judgments:

deliver  the  slayer  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  ^' ^revenger  of  blood,  and

abide  in  it  unto  the  death  of  the

ed with  the  holy  'oil. 

26  But  if  the  slayer  shall  at  any 
time  come  without  the  border  of 
the  *city  of  his  refuge,  whither 
he  was  fled ; 

27  And  the  ^'  ''revenger  of  blood

mained in  the  city  of  his  refuge 
until  the  death  of  the  'high

dwell  among  the  children  of

CHAPTER  36 

The  inheritance  of  daughters  secured  to 
their  own  tribe  by  their  marrying  only  in 
that  tribe.  10  The  daughters  of  Zeluphe- 
had  marry  their  father's  brothers'  sons. 

AND  the  chief  fathers  of  the 
families  of  the  children  of 
"OiKe-ad,  the  son  of  ^Ma'chir, 
the  son  of  '^Ma-n3.s'seh,  of  the 
famiUes  of  the  sons  of  Jo'seph, 
came  near,  and  '^spake  before 
'Mo'ses,  and  before  the  princes, 
the  chief  fathers  of  the  children 
of  'Is'ra-el: 
2  And  they  ''said,  The  I>ort) 
commanded  my  lord  to  give  the 
"land  for  an  inheritance  by  lot  to 


the  children  of  'Ls'ra-el:  and  my 
lord  was  commanded  by  the 
Lord  to  give  the  ''inheritance  of 
'Ze-lo'phe-ha.d  our  brother  unto 
his  ^•*- 'daughters. 

3  And  if  '''they  be  married  to 
any  of  the  sons  of  the  other  tribes 
of  the  children  of  ''l.s'ra-el,  then 
shall  their  "inheritance  be  taken 
from  the  inheritance  of  our  fa- 
thers, and  shall  be  put  to  the  in- 
heritance of  the  tribe  whereunto 
they  *are  received :  so  shall  it  be 
taken  from  the  lot  of  our  in- 
heritance. 

4  And  when  the  '"jubile  of  the 
children  of  'Is'ra-el  shall  be, 
then  shall  their  "inheritance  be 
put  unto  the  inheritance  of  the 
tribe  whereunto  they  are  re- 
ceived :  so  shall  their  inheritance 
be  taken  away  from  the  in- 
heritance of  the  tribe  of  our 
fathers. 

5  And  Mo'ses  commanded  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  saying. 
The  '^tribe  of  the  sons  of  Jo'.seph 
hath  ''said  well. 

6  This  is  the  thing  which  the 
Lord  doth  command  concern- 
ing the  daughters  of  'Ze-lo'phe- 
had,  saying.  Let  them  "marry  to 
whom  they  think  best;  only  to 
the  family  of  the  tribe  of  their 
father  shall  they  marry. 

7  So  shall  not  the  ""inheritance 
of  the  children  of  'Is'ra-el  re- 
move from  tribe  to  tribe:  for 
every  one  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el shall  keep  himself  to  the  in- 
heritance of  the  tribe  of  his 
fathers. 

8  And  every  ^''daughter,  that 
possesseth  an  "•"inheritance  in 
any  tribe  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el, shall  be  "wife  unto  one  of 
the  family  of  the  tribe  of  her  fa-

may  enjoy  every  man  the  in-

ance remove  from  one  tribe  to 
another  tribe;  but  every  one  of

CHAPTER  1 

Moses'  speech  in  the  end  of  the  fortieth  year: 
in  which  he  brieflu  ri-liciirses  the  promise 
of  God:  l.'i  (/((■  (ij)point>ntnt  of  officers  for 
them:  19  the  sendlnti  of  the  spies  to  search 
the  land;  34  and  God's  anger  for  their 
incredulity  and  disobedience. 

THESE  be  the  "words  which 
Mo'.ses  spake  unto  all 
''Is'ra-el  on  this  side  '^Jor'dan  in 
the  wilderness,  in  the  plain  over 
against  the  ''Red  sea,  between 
^Pa'ran,  and  To'phel,  and  La'- 
ban,  and  'Ha-ze'roth,  and  Diz'- 
a-hab. 

2  (There  are  eleven  days'  jour- 
ney  from  "Ho'reb  by  the  way  of 
mount  *Se'Ir  unto  '^Ka'desh- 
bar'ne-ii.) 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fortieth  year,  in  the  eleventh 
"^month,  on  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  that  'Mo'.ses  spake  unto 
the  children  of  Ls'ra-el,  accord- 
ing unto  all  that  the  Lord  had 


given  him  in  commandment  un- 
to them; 

4  x\fter  he  had  slain  '^'Sl'hon  the 
king  of  the  'Am'or-Ites,  which 
dwelt  in  '"Hesh'bon,  and  "Og 
the  king  of  Ba'sh^n,  which  dwelt 
at  ^As'ta-roth  in  °Ed're-I: 

5  On  this  side  '^Jor'dan,  in  the 
land  of  ^Mo'ab,  began  'Mo'.ses 
to  declare  this  "law,  saying, 

6  TheLoRD  our  God  spake  un- 
to 'us  in  ''Ho'reb,  saying.  Ye  have 
dwelt  long  enough  in  this  mount : 

7  Turn  you,  and  take  your 
journey,  and  go  to  the  mount  of 
the  'Am'or-Ites,  and  unto  all  the 
places  nigh  thereunto,  in  the 
plain,  in  the  hills,  and  in  the 
vale,  and  in  the  south,  and  by 
the  sea  side,  to  the  land  of  the 
'Ca'naan-ites,  and  unto  ^Leb'a- 
non,  unto  the  great  river,  the 
river  '^Eu-phra'tes.

before  you :  ^o  in  aiul  po.s.sess  the 
land  which  the  Lord  'sware  un- 
to your  fathers,  "x\'bra-hain, 
"^^I'.saac,  and  "'Ja'cob,  to  give  un- 
to them  and  to  their  seed  after 
them. 

9  ^  And  I  spake  unto  you  at 
that  time,  saying,  I  am  not  able 
to  bear  you  myself  alone : 

10  The  T^ORD  your  -^God  hath 
^multiplied  you,  and,  behold,  ye 
are  this  day  as  the  stars  of  heav- 
en for  multitude. 

11  (The  IvORD  God  of  your  fa- 
thers make  you  a  thousand  times 
so  many  ^more  as  ye  are,  and 
^bless  you,  as  he  hath  promised 
you!) 

12  How  can  "I  myself  alone 
bear  your  cumbrance,  and  your 
burden,  and  your  "strife  ? 

1,3  ''•''•'^Take  you  ^•''wise  men, 
and  understanding,  and  known 
among  your  tribes,  and  I  will 
make  them  ''rulers  over  you. 

14  And  ye  answered  me,  and 
said.  The  thing  which  thou  hast 
spoken  is  good  for  u.s  to  do. 

15  So  I  took  the  ''chief  of  your 
tribes,  '-^wise  men,  and  known, 
and  ''•''made  them  heads  over 
you,  captains  over  thousands, 
and  captains  over  hundreds,  and 
captains  over  fifties,  and  cap- 
tains over  tens,  and  officers 
among  your  tribes. 

16  And  I  'charged  your  ''judg- 
es at  that  time,  saying,  Hear  the 
causes  between  your  brethren, 
and  judge  righteously  between 
every  man  and  his  brother,  and 
the  '.stranger  ihat  is  with  him. 

17  '••'-'■^Ye  .shall  not  respect  per- 
sons in  judgment;  hit.  ye  shall 
hear  the  small  as  well  as  the 
great;  ye  shall  not  be  afraid  of 
the  face  of  man;  for  the  judg- 
ment is  God's:  and  the  cause 
that  is  too  hard  for  you,  bring  ii 
unto  me,  and  I  will  hear  it. 

18  And  °I  commanded  you  at 


that  time  all  the  things  which  ye 
should  do. 

19  *\  .\nd  when  we  departed 
from  "'Ho'reb,  we  went  through 
all  that  great  and  terrible  wilder- 
ness, which  ye  saw  l)y  the  way  of 
the  mountain  of  the  "Am'or-ites, 
as  the  Lord  our  God  com- 
manded us;  and  we  came  to 
"Ka'desh-bar'ne-a. 

20  And  I  said  unto  you.  Ye  are 
come  unto  the  mountain  of  the 
"Am'or-ites,  which  the  Lord 
our  God  doth  give  unto  us. 

21  Behold,  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  set  the  land  l)ef ore  thee :  go 
up  and  possess  it,  as  the  Lord 
God  of  thy  fathers  hath  said  un- 
to thee;  ^fear  not,  neither  be 
discouraged. 

22  ^  And  ye  came  near  unto  me 
every  one  of  you,  and  said,  *We 
will  send  ''men  before  us,  and 
they  shall  search  us  out  the  land, 
and  bring  us  word  again  by  what 
way  we  must  go  up,  and  into 
what  cities  we  shall  come. 

23  And  the  saying  pleased  me 
well:  and  I  took  ''twelve  men  of 
you,  one  of  a  tribe: 

24  And  '^they  turned  and  went 
up  into  the  mountain,  and  came 
unto  the  valley  of  *Esh'c6l,  and 
searched  it  out. 

25  And  "^they  took  of  the  fruit 
of  the  land  in  their  hands,  and 
brought  it  down  unto  us,  and 
brought  us  word  again,  and  said 
It  is  a  good  land  which  the 
Lord  our  God  doth  give  us. 

26  Notwithstanding  ^ye  would 
not  go  up,  but  "rebelled  against 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
your  God: 

27  And  ye  "murmured  in  your 
tents,  and  said,  Because  the 
Lord  hated  us,  he  hath  brought 
us  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
"'E'gypt,  to  deliver  us  into  the 
hand  of  the  "Am'or-Ites,  to  de- 
stroy us.

cities  are  great  and  walled  up  to 
heaven;  and  moreover  we  have 
seen  the  sons  of  the  "An'a-kims

29  Then  I  said  unto  you.  Dread 
not,  neither  be  afraid  of  them. 

30  The  Lord  your  God  ^which 
goeth  before  you,  ^he  shall  ^fight 
for  you,  according  to  all  that  he 
did  for  you  in  "'E'gypt  before

31  And  in  the  wilderness,  where 
thou  hast  seen  how  that  the 
Lord  thy  God  ^bare  thee,  as  a 
man  doth  bear  his  son,  in  all  the 
way  that  ye  went,  until  ye  came

place  to  pitch  your  tents  in,  in 
'^fire  by  night,  to  shew  you  by 
what  way  ye  should  go,  and  in  a 
cloud  by  day. 

34  And  the  Lord  "^heard  the 
voice  of  your  words,  and  was 
''wroth,  and  sware,  saying, 

35  Surely  there  shall  not  one  of 
'■''these  men  of  this  evil  genera- 
tion see  that  good  ''land,  which  I 
'sware  to  give  unto  your  fathers,

43  So  I  '^spake  unto  you;  and 
'ye  Vould  not  hear,  but  rebelled 
against  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord,  and  went  'presumptu- 
ously up  into  the  hill. 

44  And  the  "Am'or-Ites,  which 
dwelt  in  that  mountain,  came 
out  against  you,  and  chased  you, 
as^bees  do,  and  destroyed  ''you 
In   *Se'Tr,  eve7i  unto  *H6r'mah. 

45  And  ye  returned  and  wept 
before  the  Lord;  but  the  Lord 
would  not  hearken  to  "'your 
voice,  nor  give  ear  unto  you. 

46  So  ^ye  abode  in  ''Ka'desh 
many  days,  according  unto  the 
days  that  ye  abode  there.

and  we  compassed  mount  ''Se'ir 
many  days. 

2  And  the  Lord  '^spake  unto 
me,  saying, 

3  Ye  have  compassed  this 
^mountain  long  enough:  turn 
you  northward. 

4  And  command  thou  the  "^peo- 
ple, saying,  Ye  are  to  pass 
through  the  coast  of  your  breth- 
ren the  '^cliiklren  of  ^E'sau, 
which  dwell  in  ''Se'Tr;  and  they 
shall  be  afraid  of  you:  take  ye 
good  heed  unto  yourselves  there- 
fore: 

5  Meddle  not  with  ''them;  for  I 
will  not  give  you  of  their  land, 
no,  not  so  much  as  a  foot 
breadth;  because  I  have  given 
mount  "Se'Tr  unto  ^E'sau  for  a 
possession. 

6  Ye  shall  buy  meat  of  ^thern 
for  "money,  that  ye  may  eat;  and 
ye  shall  also  buy  water  of  them 
for  money,  that  ye  may  drink. 

7  For  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
''blessed  thee  in  all  the  works  of 
thy  hand :  'he  knoweth  thy  walk- 
ing through  this  great  wilder- 
ness: these  forty  years  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  been  with  thee; 
'thou  hast  lacked  nothing. 

8  Antl  when  we  passed  by  from 
our  brethren  the  ''children  of 
^E'sau,  which  dwelt  in  "Se'Ir, 
through  the  way  of  the  plain 
from  *E'lath,  and  from  '^E'zi- 
on-ga'bcr,  we  turned  and  passed 
by  the  way  of  the  wilderness  of 
'Mo'ab. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Distress  not  the  "'Md'ab-Ites, 
neither  contend  with  them  in 
battle:  for  I  will  not  give  thee  of 
their  land  for  a  possession;  be- 
cause T  have  given  "Ar  unto  the 
children  of  Lot  for  a  possession. 

10  llie  "E'lnim.s  dwelt  therein 
in  times  past,  a  people  great,  and 


many,  and  tall,   as  the  ^An'a- 
kims ; 

11  Which  also  were  accounted 
''giants,  as  the  'Wn'a-kims;  but 
the  '"Mo'ab-ites  call  them 
"E'mim.s. 

12  The  Ho'rims  also  dwelt  in 
''Se'ir  beforetime;  but  the  '"chil- 
dren of  E'sau  succeeded  them, 
when  they  had  destroyed  them 
from  before  them,  and  dwelt  in 
their  stead;  as  Ts'ra-el  did  unto 
the  land  of  his  possession,  which 
the  Lord  gave  unto  them. 

13  Now  rise  up,  said  I,  and  get 
you  over  the  ''brook  *Ze'red. 
And  we  went  over  the  brook 
Ze'red. 

14  And  the  space  in  which  we 
came  from  'Ka'desh-bilr'ne-a, 
until  we  were  come  over  the 
'^brook  ^Ze'red,  was  thirty  and 
eight  years;  until  all  the  genera- 
tion of  the  men  of  war  "were 
wasted  out  from  among  the  host, 
as  the  Lord  sware  unto  them. 

15  For  indeed  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  was  against  "them,  to  de- 
stroy them  from  among  the  host, 
until  they  were  consumed. 

IG  T[  So  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  the  "men  of  war  "were  con- 
sumed and  dead  from  among  the 
people, 

17  That  the  Lord  spake  unto 
'^me,  saying, 

18  Thou  art  to  pass  over 
through  "At,  the  coast  of  'Mo'- 
ab,  this  day: 

19  And  'wJir7i  thou  comest  nigh 
over  against  the  children  of 
Am'mon,  distress  them  not,  nor 
meddle  with  them  :  for  I  will  not 
give  thee  of  the  latnl  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'moii  am/  possession; 
because  I  have  given  it  unto  the 
children  of  T>6t  for  a  possession.

land  of  giants:  giants  dwelt 
therein    in    old    time;    and    the

the  Lord  destroyed  them  before 
them;  and  they  succeeded  them, 
and  dwelt  in  their  stead : 

22  As  he  did  to  the  ^children  of

when  he  destroyed  the  Ho'rim.s 
from  before  them ;  and  they  suc-

^Az'zah,  the  ■^Caph'to-rim.s, 
which  came  forth  out  of  Cftph'-

ney, and  pass  over  the  ^river

to thine  hand  "Sl'hon  the  Am'-

thee  upon  the  nations  that  are 
under  the  whole  heaven,  who 
shall  hear  report  of  thee,  and 
shall  tremble,  and  be  in  anguish 
because  of  thee. 

26  ^  And  I  sent  messengers  out 
of  the  wilderness  of  '^Ked'e- 
moth  unto  "Sl'hon  king  of 
"Hesh'bon  with  words  of  peace, 
saying, 

27  Let  me  pass  through  thy 
land :  I  will  go  along  by  the  "high 
way,  I  will  neither  turn  unto  the 
right  hand  nor  to  the  left. 

28  Thou  shalt  sell  me  '^meat  for 


^money,  that  I  may  eat;  and  give 
me  water  for  money,  that  I  may 
drink:  only  I  will  pass  through 
on  my  feet ; 

29  (As  the  'children  of  E'sau 
which  dwell  in  "Se'lr,  and  the 
''Mo'ab-ites  which  dwell  in  *Ar, 
did  unto  me;)  until  I  shall  pass 
over  'Jor'dan  into  the  land 
which  the  Lord  our  God  giveth 
us. 

30  But  "Sl'hSn  king  of  "Hesh'- 
bon  would  not  let  us  pass  by 
him:  for  the  Lord  thy  ^God 
hardened  his  spirit,  and  made 
his  'heart  obstinate,  that  he 
might  deliver  him  into  thy  hand, 
as  appcanih  this  day. 

31  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Behold,  I  have  begun  to  give 
"Sl'hon  and  his  land  before  thee: 
begin  to  possess,  that  thou  niay- 
est  inherit  his  land. 

32  Then  "Sl'hon  came  out 
against  us,  he  and  all  his  people, 
to  fight  at  '"Ja'haz. 

33  And  the  Lord  our  God  ^de- 
livered "him  before  us;  and  "we 
smote  him,  and  his  sons,  and  all 
his  people.

at  that  time,  and  °- ^utterly  de-

The  history  of  the  conquest  of  Og  king  of 
Bashan.  the  last  of  the  giants.  12  The 
distribution  of  the  lands  east  of  .Jordan 
to  the  two  triljes  anil  a  half.  2.1  .\foses' 
prayer  to  enter  into  the  land.  2(\  He  is 
permitted  only  to  see  it. 

THEN  we  turned ,  and  went 
up  the  way  to  "Ba'shan: 
and  "Og  the  king  of  Ba'shan 
came  out  against  us,  he  and  all 
his  people,  to  battle  at  ''Ed're-I. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
"^Fear  ''him  not:  for  I  will  de- 
liver him,  and  all  his  people,  and 
his  land,  into  thy  hand;  and  thou 
shalt  do  unto  him  as  thou  didst 
unto  ^Sl'hon  king  of  the  ^Am'- 
6r-Ites,  which  dwelt  at  Hesh'bon. 

3  So  the  Lord  our  God  de- 
livered into  our  hands  ''Og  also, 
the  king  of  "Ba'shan,  and  all  his 
people:  and  ''we  smote  him  until 
''none  was  left  to  him  remaining. 

4  And  ''we  took  all  ''his  cities  at 
that  time,  there  was  not  a  city 
which  we  took  not  from  them, 
threescore  cities,  all  the  region  of 
'Ar'gob,  the  kingdom  of  Og  in 
"Ba'shan. 

5  All  these  cities  were  fenced 
with  high  'walls,  *gates,  and 
bars;  beside  un walled  towns  a 
great  many. 


6  And  "we  ''•''utterly  destroyed 
them,  as  we  did  unto  '^Sl'hon 
king  of  Hesl/bon,  utterly  de- 
stroying the  men,  women,  and 
children,  of  every  city. 

7  But  all  the  cattle,  and  the 
'spoil  of  the  cities,  we  took  for  a 
prey  to  ourselves. 

8  And  we  took  at  that  time  out 
of  the  hand  of  the  two  kings  of 
the  ^Am'or-Ites  the  land  that  wa-s 
on  this  side  '"Jor'dan,  from  the

11  For  only  "Og  king  of  «Ba'- 
shan  remained  of  the  remnant  of 
''giants;  behold,  his  ^bedstead 
was  a  bedstead  of  "^iron ;  is  it  not 
in  ^Rab'bath  of  the  children  of 
Am'mon  ?  nine  *cubits  was  the 
length  thereof,  and  four  cubits 
the  breadth  of  it,  after  the  cubit 
of  a  man. 

12  And  this  land,  which  we 
possessed  at  that  time,  from 
'Ar'o-er,  which  is  by  the  'river 
"Ar'non,  and  half  mount  "Gil'-

I  unto  the  "Reii'ben-ites  and  to

took  all  the  country  of  '^Ar'gob

them  after  his  own  name,  °Ba'-

15  And  I  gave  "Gil'e-ad  unto 
"Ma'chir. 

16  And  unto  the  '^Reii'ben-Ttes 
and  unto  the  ''Gad'ites  I  gave 
from  "Gil'e-ad  even  unto  the 
^river  ''Ar'non  half  the  valley, 
and  the  border  even  unto  the 
river  'Jab'bok,  which  is  the

'Chin'ne-reth  even  unto  the  sea 
of  the  plain,  even  the  salt  sea, 
under  ^- ^Ash'doth-pls'gah  east- 
ward. 

18  ^  And  I  commanded  you  at 
that  time,  saying.  The  Lord 
your  God  hath  given  you  this 
^land  to  possess  it:  ye  shall  pass 
over  armed  before  your  brethren 
the  children  of  Ls'ra-el,  all  that 
are  meet  for  the  war. 

19  But  your  wives,  and  your 
little  ones,  and  your  cattle,  {]or  I 
know  that  ye  have  much  cattle,) 
shall  abide  in  your  cities  which  I 
have  given  you; 

20  Until  the  Lord  have  given 
rest  unto  your  brethren,  as  well 
as  unto  you,  and  until  they  also 
possess  the  ^land  which  the 
Lord  your  God  hath  given 
them  beyond  ''Jor'dan:  and  then 
shall  ye  return  every  man  unto 


his  possession,  which  I  have  giv- 
en you. 

21  T[  And  I  commanded  '  Josh'- 
u-a  at  that  time,  saying.  Thine 
eyes  have  seen  all  that  the  Lord 
your  God  hath  done  u.ito  these 
two  kings:  so  shall  the  Lord  do 
unto  all  the  kingdoms  whither 
thou  passest. 

22  "'Ye  shall  not  fear  them:  for 
the  Lord  your  God  he  shall 
"light  for  you. 

23  \  And  °l  besought  the  Lord 
at  that  time,  saying, 

24  O  Lord  God,  thou  hast  be- 
gun to  shew  thy  servant  thy 
greatness,  and  thy  ^mighty 
hand:  for  what  ^God  is  there  in 
heaven  or  in  earth,  that  can  do 
according  tc  thy  works,  and  ac- 
cording to  thy  might  ? 

25  "•*!  pray  thee,  let  me  go 
over,  and  see  the  good  ^land  that 
is  beyond  ''Jor'dan,  that  goodly 
mountain,  and  '^Leb'a-non. 

26  But  the  Lord  was  *wroth 
with  me  for  your  sakes,  and 
would  not  hear  me:  and  the 
Lord  'said  unto  me.  Let  it  suf- 
fice thee ;  speak  no  more  unto  me 
of  this  matter. 

27  *Get  thee  up  into  the  top  of 
^Pis'gah,  and  lift  up  thine  eyes 
westward,  and  northward,  and 
southward,  and  eastward,  and  be- 
hold it  with  thine  eyes :  for  thou 
shalt  not  go  over  this  '' Jor'dan. 

28  But  charge  "Josh'u-a,  and 
encourage  him,  and  strengthen 
him:  for  he  shall  go  over  before 
this  people,  and  he  shall  cause 
them  to  inherit  the  land  which 
thou  shalt  see. 

29  So  we  abode  in  the  valley 
over  against  ^Beth-pe'or.

An  exhortation  to  obedience.     41  ^toses  ap-

of  the  Jordan, 
I 

NOW  therefore  "hearken,  O 
Ls^ra-el,  unto  the  statutes 
and  unto  the  judgments,  which  I 
"teach  you,  for  to  '"do  them,  '^that 
ye  may  live,  and  go  in  and  pos- 
sess the  land  which  the  Lord 
God  of  your  fathers  giveth  you. 

2  ^Ye  shall  not  add  unto  the 
%ord  Iwhich  I  command  you, 
neither  shall  ye  diminish  aught 
from  it,  that  ye  may  '^keep  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord 
your  God  which  I  command 
you. 

3  Your  eyes  have  seen  what  the 
Lord  did  because  of  ''Ba'al- 
pe'or:  for  all  the  men  that  fol- 
lowed Ba^al-pe^or,  the  Lord 
thy  Gocl  hath  destroyed  them 
from  among  you. 

•i  But  ye  that  did  ^cleave  unto 
the  'Lord  your  God  are  'alive 
every  one  of  you  this  day, 

5  Behold,  I  have  ''taught  you 
^•'statutes  and  judgments,  even 
as  the  Lord  my  God  com- 
manded me,  that  ye  should  ^do 
so  in  the  '"land  whither^ye  go  to 
possess  it. 

6  "•'^Keea  therefore  and  do 
them;  for  this  is  your  '^wisdom 
and  your  understanding  in  the 
sight  of  the  nations,  which  shall 
hear  all  these  statutes,  and  say, 
Surely  this  great  nation  ?'.?  a  wi.se 
and  understanding  people. 

7  For  wiiat  nation  is  there  so 
great,   who   hath  ^God  so  jiigh 
unto  them,   as   the   LoRrt^oiiF 
"(jod  is  in  all  things  that  we  ^(-^W 
upon  him  for  ? 

8  And  what  nation  is  there  so 
great,  that  hath  statutes  and 
judgments  so  righteous  as  all 
th 


k.l 


jlaw.   which  T  set  before 
you  this  day  ? 

9  Only  ^-'take  heed  to  thyself, 
and  keep  thy  soul  'diligently, 
'lest  thou  forget  the  things  which 


thine  eyes  have  seen,  and  lest 
they  depart  from  thy  |ieart  all 
the  days  of  thy  life :  but  "-  "teach 
them  ""thy  '■  ^^sons,  and  thy  sons' 
sons : 

10  Specially  the  day  that  thou 
stoodest  before  the  Lord  thy 
God  in  ^Ho^reb,  when  the  Lord 
said  unto  me.  Gather  me  the 
people  together,  and  I  will  make 
them  hear  my  "words,  that  they 
may  learn  to  *fear  me  all  the 
days  that  they  shall  live  upon 
the  earth,  and  that  ''they  may 
'''^teach  their  children. 

1 1  And  ye  came  near  and  stood 
under  the  -'mountain;  and  "the 
mountain  burned  with  fire  unto 
the  midst  of  heaven,  with  '^dark- 
ness,  clouds,  and  thick  darkness. 

12  And  the  'Lord  spake  unto 
you  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire: 
ye  heard  the  voice  of  the  words, 
but  saw  no  ^similitude;  only  ye 
heard  a  voice. . 

13  And  he  declared  unto  you 
his  'covenant,  which  he  com- 
manded you  to  ^perform,  even 
ten  'commandments;  and  he 
wrote  them  upon  two  '^tables  of 
"stone. 

14  ^  And  "the  Lord  com- 
manded me  at  that  time  to 
^teach  you  statutes  and  judg- 
ments, that  ye  might  ^'do  them 
in  the  land  whither  ye  go  over  to 
possess  it. 

15  '•'^Take  ye  therefore  good 
heed  unto  yourselves;  for  ye  saw 
no  manner  of  ^similitude  on  the 
day  that  the  Lord  spake  unto 
you  in  *IId'reb  out  of  the  midst 
of  the  fire: 

10  'Lest  ye  corrupt  yourselves, 
and  "make  you  a  graven  image, 
^die  similitude  of  any  figure,  the 
likeness  of  male  or  female, 

17  The  likeness  of  any  beast 
that  is  on  the  earth,  the  likeness 
of  any  winged  fowl  that  fiieth  in

that  "creepeth  on  the  ground,  the 
Ukeness  of  any  fish  that  is  in  the 
waters  beneath  the  earth : 

19  And  lest  thou  Uft  up  thine  ^ 
eyes  unto  heaven,  and  when  thou 
seest  the  "'sun,  and  the  ^moon, 
and  the  ^stars,  even  all  the  host 
of  heaven,  ^shouldest  be  driven 
to  "worship  them,  and  serve 
them,  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  divided  unto  all  the  nations 
under  the  whole  heaven. 

20  But  the  ^LoRD  hath  taken 
you,  and  brought  you  forth  out 
of  the  "iron  *f  urnace,  even  out  of 
''E'gypt,  to  be  unto  him  a  people 
of  inheritance,  as  ye  are  this  day. 

21  Furthermore  the  Lord  was 
''angry  with  *me  for  your  sakes, 
and  'sware  that  I  should  not  go 
over  "Jor'dan,  and  that  I  should 
not  go  in  unto  that  good  ''land, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee  for  an  inheritance: 

22  But  *"I  must  Mie  in  this  land, 
I  must  not  go  over  '' Jor'dan :  but 
ye  shall  go  over,  and  possess  that 
good  ''land. 

23  ^'^Take  heed  unto  your- 
selves, lest  ye  forget  the  'cove- 
nant of  the  Lord  your  God, 
which  he  made  with  you,  and 
make  you  a  graven  '"image,  ^or 
the  likeness  of  any  thing,  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  forbid- 
den thee. 

24  For  the  Lord  thy  "God  is  a 
consuming  "fire,  even  a  ^jealous 
God. 

25  t  When  thou  shalt  beget 
children,  and  children's  chil- 
dren, and  ye  shall  have  remained 
long  in  the  land,  and  shall  'cor- 
rupt yourselves,  and  make  a 
graven  '"image,  ^or  the  likeness 
of  any  thing,  and  shall  do  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
to  provoke  him  to  ''anger: 

26  'I  call  heaven  and  earth  to 
witness  against  you  this  day, 
that  ye  shall  soon  utterly  *perish 
from  off  the  ''land  whereunto  ye 


go  over  Jor'dan  to  possess  it;  ye 
shall  not  prolong  your  days  upon 
it,  but  shall  utterly  be  destroyed. 

27  And  the  Lord  shall  'scatter 
'you  among  the  nations,  and  ye 
shall  be  left  few  in  number 
among  the  heathen,  whither  the 
Lord  shall  lead  you. 

28  And  there  ye  shall  "serve 
"*gods,  the  work  of  men's  hands, 
wood  and  "stone,  which  neither 
see,  nor  hear,  nor  eat,  nor  smell. 

29  But  if  from  thence  ""•  '=■  nhou 
shalt  ^'"seek  the  Lord  thy  God, 
"■'^thou  shalt  find  him,  if  thou 
seek  him  with  all  thy  heart  and 
with  all  thy  soul. 

30  When  thou  art  in  ''tribula- 
tion, and  all  these  things  are 
come  upon  thee,  even  in  the  lat- 
ter days,  if  '^•^thou  turn  to  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  shalt  be 
obedient  unto  his  voice; 

31  (For  the  Lord  thy  God  is 
a  'merciful  God;)  "■''he  will  not 
forsake  '^•^hee,  neither  destroy 
thee,  nor  forget  the  'covenant  of 
thy  fathers  which  he  sware  unto 
them. 

32  For  ask  now  of  the  days  that 
are  past^  which  were  before  thee, 
since  the  day  that  'God  created 
*man  upon  the  eai-th,  and  ask 
from  the  one  side  of  heaven  unto 
the  other,  whether  there  hath 
been  any  such  thing  as  this  great 
thing  is,  or  hath  been  heard 
like  it  ? 

33  Did  ever  people  hear  the 
voice  of  God  'speaking  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire,  as  thou  hast 
heard,  and  live  ? 
,  34  Or  hatlj  '"God  assayed  to  go 
and  take  him  a  nation  from  the 
midst  of  another  nation,  by 
temptations,  by  'signs,  and  by 
wonders,  and  by  war,  and  by  a 
mighty  hand,  and  by  a  stretched 
out  "arm,  and  by  great  terrors, 
according  to  all  that  the  Lord 
your  God  did  for  you  in  "E'gypt 
before  your  eyes  ?

thou  heardest  his  words  out  of

thee  out  Hn  his  sight  with  his

than  thou  art,  to  bring  thee  in,  to 
give  thee  their  •'land  for  an  in-

thee  in  time  to  come,  saying, 
What  mean  the  "testimonies,  and 
the  statutes,  and  the  judgments, 
which  the  Lord  our  God  hatli 
commanded  you  ? 

21  Then  thou  shalt  say  unto 
thy  "son,  We  were  '^Pha'radh's 
'^bondmen  in  E'gypt;  and  the 
IvORD  '^brought  us  out  of  E'gypt 
with  a  mighty  hand: 

22  And  the  Lord  shewed 
'signs  and  wonders,  great  and 
sore,  upon  "E'gypt,  upon  '^Pha'- 
raoh,  and  upon  all  liis  house- 
hold, before  our  eyes: 

23  And  he  brought  us  out  from 
thence,  that  he  might  bring  us 
in,  to  give  us  the  ''land  which  he 
'sware  unto  our  fathers. 

24  And  the  Lord  commanded 
us  to  'do  all  these  statutes,  to 
'fear  the  Lord  our  God,  for  our 
good  always,  'that  he  might  pre- 
serve us  alive,  as  it  is  at  this  day. 

25  And  it  shall  be  our  '"right- 
eousness, if  we  observe  to  Mo  all 
these  commandments  before  the 
Lord  our  God,  as  he  hath  com- 
manded us. 

CHAPTER  7 

All  intercourse  tritli  the  nations  of  Canaan 
is  forbidden.  4  for  fear  of  idolatru.  6  to 
promote  the  liollmss  of  the  people.  9  and 
to  secure  the  favor  of  God.  17  A  promise 
of  victory  over  those  nations.  25  Their 
idols  to  be  destroyed. 

WHEN  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  bring  thee  into  the 
"land  whither  thou  goest  to  pos- 
sess it,  and  hath  "•'^cast  out  many 
nations  before  thee,  the  '^Hit'- 
tltcs,  and  the  ''( Jir'ga-shites,  and 
the  ''Am'or-Ites,  and  the  "Cfi'- 
nSan-Ttes,  and  the  ''Per'iz-zltcs, 
and  the  ^Hi'vTtes,  and  the  Jcb'- 
u-sltes,  seven  nations  greater 
and  mightier  than  thou; 

2  And  when  the  Lord  thy  God 
.shall  deliver  them  before  thee; 
thou  shalt  smite  them,  and  utter- 
ly   destroy    them;    'thou    shalt 


make  no  ^'covenant  with  'them, 
nor  shew  mercy  unto  them : 

3  Neither  shalt  thou  make 
'"■"marriages  with  them,  thy 
daughter  thou  shalt  not  give  un- 
to his  son,  nor  his  daughter  shalt 
thou  take  unto  thy  son. 

4  For  they  will  turn  away  thy 
son  from  following  me,  that  they 
may  "serve  other  gods:  so  will 
the  ''•^anger  of  the  Lord  be 
kindled  against  you,  and  de- 
stroy thee  suddenly. 

5  But  thus  shall  ye  deal  with 
them;  ye  shall  destroy  their  al- 
tars, and  '^break  down  their  'im- 
ages, and  cut  down  their  groves, 
and  burn  their  ^graven  images 
with  fire. 

6  For  thou  art  an  ^-"-^holy  peo- 
ple unto  the  Lord  thy  God:  the 
Lord  thy  "'God  hath  "^chosen 
^thee  to  be  a  special  people  unto 
himself,  above  all  people  that 
are  upon  the  face  of  the  earth. 

7  The  Lord  did  not  set  his 
"'love  upon  you,  nor  ^choose  you, 
because  ye  were  more  in  number 
than  any  people;  for  ye  tcere  the 
fewest  of  all  people: 

8  But  because  the  Lord  ""loved 
you,  andjiecause  he  would  keep 
the  ^oath  which  he  had  "sworn 
unto  your  fathers,  hath  the 
Lord  "brought  you  out  with  a 
mighty  hand,  and  redeemed  you 
out  of  the  house  of  bondmen, 
from  the  hand  of  '^Pha'raoh  king 
of  E'gypt. 

9  Know  therefore  that  the 
Lord  thy  God,  he  is  God,  the 
faithful  "God,  ''which  "keepeth 
''covenant  and  "mercy  with  them 
that  ''love  him  and  'keep  his 
commandments  to  a  thousand 
generations; 

10  And  repayeth  '-Hhem  that 
hate  him  to  their  face,  to  destroy 
them :  he  will  not  be  slack  to  him

built  goodly  houses,  and  dwelt

up,  and  thou  '^•^forget  the  Lord 
thy  God,  which  'brought  thee 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
from  the  house  of  bondage; 

15  'Who  led  thee  through  that 
great  and  terrible  ^wilderness,

there  was  no  water;  who  brought

CHAPTER  9 

Moses  dissuades  Israel  from  self -righteous-

H  Is  prayer  for  them. 

HEAR,  O  "I.s'ra-el:  Thou 
art  to  pass  over  '^Jor'dan 
this  day,  to  go  in  to  possess  na- 
tions greater  and  mightier  than 
thyself,  cities  great  and  ''fenced 
up  to  heaven,

children  of  the  *An'a-kim.s, 
whom  thou  knowest,  and  oj 
luhoni  thou  hast  heard  say,  Who 
can  stand  before  the  children  of 
A'nak! 

3  '^Understand  therefore  this 
day,  that  the  Lord  thy  God  is 
^he  which  goeth  ever  before  thee ; 
as  a  consuming  fire  he  shall  de- 
stroy ^them,  and  he  shall  bring 
them  down  before  thy  face:  so 
shalt  thou  drive  them  out,  and 
destroy  them  quickly,  as  the 
Lord  hath  said  unto  thee. 

4  ''■'•'Speak  not  thou  in  thine 
heart,  after  that  the  Lord  thy 
''God  hath  cast  them  out  from 
before  thee,  saying,  For  my 
^righteousness  the  Lord  hath 
brought  me  in  to  possess  this 
land:  but  for  the  wickedness  of 
these  'nations  the  Lord  doth 
drive  them  out  from  before  thee. 

5  Not  for  thy  righteousness,  or 
for  the  uprightness  of  thine

their  land:  but  for  the  wicked- 
ness of  these  'nations  the  Lord

from  before  thee,  and  that  "'he 
may  perform  the  "word  which

for  thy  '^righteousness;  for  thou 
art  a  "stiffiiecked  people. 

7  ^  Remember,  a»rf  forget  not, 
how  thou  provokedst  the  Lord 
thy  God  to  "wrath  in  the  wilder- 
ness: from  the  day  that  thou 
didst  depart  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  until  ye  came  unto  this 
place,  ye  have  been  ''rebellious 
against  the  Lord. 

8  Also  in  '^Ho'reb  ye  provoked 
the  Lord  to  "wrath,  so  that  the 
Lord  was  angry  with  ^^ou  to 
have  destroyed  you. 

9  When  I  was  gone  up  into  the 
*mount  to  receive  the  tallies  of 
stone,  even  the  'tables  of  the 
covenant  which  the  Lord  made 
with  you,  then  I  abode  in  the 
mount  forty  days  and  "forty 
nights,  I  "neither  did  eat  bread 
nor  drink  water: 

10  And  the  Lord  delivered  un- 
to me  two  'tables  of  stone  writ- 
ten with  the  finger  of  God;  and 
on  them  was  wriffcn  according 
to  all  the  "''■^words,  which  the 
Lord  spake  with  you  in  the 
'mount  out  of  the  midst  of  the 
fire  in  the  day  of  the  asseml)ly. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  "forty  days  and  forty 
nights,  that  the  Lord  gave  me 
the  two  tables  of  stone,  even  the 
'tables  of  the  covenant. 

12  And  the  Lord  snid  unto  me, 
Arise,  get  thee  down  quickly 
from  hence;  for  thy  people  which 
thou  hast  brought  forth  out  of 
I'/gypt  have  corruj)t('d  them- 
selvcs;  they  are  quickly  ^turned 
aside  out  of  the  way  which  I 
commanded  them;  they  have 
made  them  a  ^molten  image. 

13  Furthermore  the  Lord 
spake  imto  me,  saying,  I  have 
seen  this  "people,  and,  behold, 
it  i^  a  ''stiff necked  people: 

14  Let  me  alone,  that  I  may 
Mestroy  "them,  and  blot  out 
their  name  from  under  heaven: 
and  I  will  make  of  "^thee  a  na- 


tion mightier  and  greater  than 
they. 

15  So  I  turned  and  came  down 
from  the  '^mount,  and  the  mount 
burned  with  fire:  and  the  two 
'tables  of  the  covenant  were  in 
my  two  hands. 

16  And  I  looked,  and,  behold, 
"ye  had  sinned  against  the  Lord 
your  God,  ami  had  made  you  a 
''molten  *calf:  ye  had  'turned 
aside  quickly  out  of  the  way 
which  the  Lord  had  comman(l- 
ed  you. 

17  And  ''I  took  the  two  'tables, 
and  cast  them  out  of  my  two 
hands,  and  brake  them  before 
your  eyes. 

"  18  And  "I  ^-'fell  down  before 
the  Lord,  as  at  the  first,  "'forty 
days  and  forty  nights:  I  did 
"neither  eat  bread,  nor  drink 
water,  because  of  all  your  sins 
which  ye  sinned,  in  doinf;  wick- 
edly  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to 
provoke  him  to  "anger. 

19  For  I  was  afraid  of  the  "an- 
ger and  hot  displeasure,  where- 
with the  Lord  was  wroth 
against  you  to  destroy  you.  But 
"the  'Lord  hearkened  unto  me 
at  that  time  also. 

20  And  the  Lord  was  very 
"angry  with  ''Aar'on  to  have  de- 
stroyed him:  and  I  'prayed  for 
Aar'on  also  the  same  time. 

21  And  ''I  took  your  sin,  the 
'•'calf  which  ye  had  made,  and 
'burnt  it  with  fire,  and  stamped 
it,  and  ground  //  very  small,  even 
until  It  was  as  small  as  dust:  and 
I  cast  the  dust  thereof  into  the 
V)rook  that  descended  out  of  the 
mount. 

22  And  at  "Tab'e-rah,  and  at 
Mas'sah,  and  at  "Kib'roth -hat- 
ta'a-vah,  ye  provoked  the  Lord 
to  "wrath. 

2.3  Likewise  when  the  Lord 
sent  you  from  "'Ka'desh-bar'- 
ne-a,  saying.  Go  up  and  possess 
the   ^land  which   I  have  given

24  "Ye  have  been  ''rebelUous

because  the  Lord  had  said  he 
would  destroy  you. 

26  I  Sprayed  therefore  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord  God, 
destroy  not  thy  people  and  thine 
inheritance,  which  thou  hast  re- 
deemed through  thy  greatness, 
which  ''■^thou  liast  brought  forth

28  ''Lest  the  land  whence  thou 
broughtest  us  out  say,  Because 
the  Lord  was  not  able  to  bring 
them  into  the  land  which  he 
promised  them,  and  because  he 
hated  them,  he  hath  brought 
them  out  to  slay  them  in  the 
wilderness. 

29  ""Yet  they  are  thy  people  and 
thine  inheritance,  which  ''thou 
broughtest  out  by  ^thy  mighty

CHAPTER  10 

God's  mercy  in  restoring  the  tiro  tables:  6  in 
continuing  the  priesthood:  8  in  separating 
the  tribe  of  Levi:  10  and  in  hearkening 
unto  the  prayer  of  ^foscs  for  the  people.

AT  that  time  the  Lord  said 
unto  "me.  Hew  thee  two

first,  and  come  up  unto  me  into

bles the  ''words  that  were  in  the 
first  tables  which  thou  brakest, 
and  thou  shalt  put  them  in  the

3  And  I  made  an  ''ark  of 
'shittim  wood,  and  hewed  two 
tables  of  stone  like  unto  the  first, 
and  went  up  into  the  '^mount,  hav- 
ing the  two  tables  in  mine  hand. 

4  And  he  wrote  on  the  ''tables,

ten  ""'commandments,  which  the

5  And  °I  turned  myself  and

they  be,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded me.

seed,  a  land  that   floweth  with 
"milk  and  "'honey. 

10  ^  For  the' 'land,  whither 
thou  goest  in  to  posse.ss  it,  is  not 
as  the  land  of  'K'lVypt,  from 
whence  ye  came  out,  where  thou 
sowedst  thy  seed,  aiul  -^water- 
edst  it  with  thy  foot,  as  a  garden 
of  herbs : 

11  But  the  ^land,  Avhither  ye  go 
to  po.ssess  it,  is  a  land  of  hills  and 
valleys,  and  drinkcth  water  of 
the  rain  of  heaven: 

12  A  ^land  which  the  Lord 
thy  ''God  careth  for:  the  ^eyes 
of  the  Lord  thy  God  arc  always 
upon  it,  from  the  beginning  of 
the  year  even  unto  the  end  of  the 
year. 

13  Tf  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  ye  shall  hearken  "diligently 
unto  my  ''■'^commandments 
which  I  ''command  you  this  day, 
to  *''love  the  Lord  your  God, 
and  to  "serve  him  Avith  all  your 
''heart  and  with  all  your  soul, 

14  *That  'I  will  ^givc  you  the 
'  "'rain  of  your  land  in  his  due 
season,  the  first  rain  and  the  lat- 
ter rain,  that  thou  inayest  gather 
in  thy  corn,  and  thy  "wine,  and 
thine  "oil. 

15  And  I  will  send  '"grass  in  thy 
fields  for  thy  cattle,  that  thou 
mayest  eat  and  be  full. 

16  ^-'Take  heed  to  yourselves, 
that  your  heart  be  not  deceived, 
and  ye  turn  aside,  and  ^serve 
other  gods,  and  worship  them; 

17  -And  then  the  Lord's 
'wrath  be  kindled  against  you, 
and  he  'shut  up  the  heaven,  that 
there  be  no  "rain,  and  that  the 
land  yield  not  her  fruit;  and  lest 
ye  perish  quickly  from  off  the 
good  land  which  the  Lord  giv- 
eth  you. 

18  ^  "Therefore  shall  ye  lay  up 
these  my  ''•'^words  in  your  heart 


and  in  your  soul,  and  bind  '"them 
for  a  ^sign  upon  your  hand,  that 
they  may  be  as  ^frontlets  be- 
tween your  eyes. 

19  And  ^"ye  shall  "teach 
''•''them  your  ''children,  Aspeak- 
ing  of  them  when  thou  sittest  in 
thine  house,  and  when  thou 
walkest  by  the  way,  when  thou 
liest  down,  and  when  thou  risest 
up. 

20  And  thou  shalt  write  ''■"them 
upon  the  ^door  posts  of  thine 
house,  and  upon  thy  gates: 

21  "That  your  days  may  be 
multijilicd,  and  the  days  of  your 
children,  in  the  ''land  which  the 
Lord  sware  unto  your  fathers  to 
give  them,  as  the  days  of  heaven 
upon  the  earth. 

22  T[  For  if  ye  shall  'diligently 
%eep  all  these  commandments 
which  I  command  you,  to  do 
them,  to  ^love  the  Lord  your 
God,  to  walk  in  all  his  ways,  and 
to  cleave  unto  him ; 

23  "Then  will  the  'Lord  drive 
out  all  these  '"nations  from  be- 
fore you,  and  ye  shall  possess 
greater  nations  and  mightier 
than  yourselves. 

24  "Every  place  whereon  the 
soles  of  your  feet  shall  tread  shall 
be  your's:  from  the  wilderness 
and  "Lrb'a-non,  from  the  river, 
the  river  "Eu-phra'te.s,  even  unto 
the  uttermost  ^sca  shall  your 
coast  be. 

25  "There  shall  no  man  be  able 
to  stand  before  you:  for  the 
'Lord  your  God  shall  lay  the 
fear  of  you  and  the  dread  of  you 
upon  all  the  land  that  ye  shall 
tread  upon,  as  he  hath  said  unto 
you. 

26  ^  Behold,  I  set  before  you 
this  day  a  ^l)lcssing  and  a  ^curse; 

27  A  ^blessing,  'if  ye  *obey  the

ceptions. 29  The  rites  of  idolatry  not 
to  be  inquired  into. 

THESE  are  the  "statutes  and 
judgments,  which  ye  shall 
observe  to  do  in  the  *land,  which 
the  Lord  '^God  of  thy  fathers 
giveth  thee  to  possess  it,  all  the 
days  that  ye  live  upon  the  earth. 
2  '*Ye  shall  utterly  Mestroy  all 
the  places,  wherein  the  'nations 
which  ye  shall  possess  "served 


their  gods,  upon  the  high  ''moun- 
tains, and  upon  the  hills,  and 
under  every  green  tree: 

3  And  ''ye  shall  ^overthrow 
their  altars,  and  break  their  'pil- 
lars, and  burn  their  'groves  with 
fire;  and  ye  shall  hew  down  the 
graven  ^images  of  their  gods, 
and  destroy  the  names  of  them 
out  of  that  place. 

4  Ye  shall  not  do  so  unto  the 
Lord  your  God. 

5  But  'unto  the  '"•"place  which 
the  Lord  your  God  shall  choose 
out  of  all  your  tribes  to  put  his 
name  there,  even  unto  his  habita- 
tion shall  ye  "seek,  and  thither 
thou  shalt  come: 

6  And  '"thither  ye  shall  bring 
your  ^burnt  offerings,  and  your 
sacrifices,  and  your  ^tithes,  and 
'^heave  offerings  of  your  hand, 
and  your  *vows,  and  your  'free- 
will offerings,  and  the  firstlings 
of  your  herds  and  of  your 
flocks : 

7  And  there  ye  shall  eat  before 
the  Lord  your  God  and  ye  shall 
"rejoice  in  all  that  ye  put  your 
hand  unto,  ye  and  your  "house- 
hokls,  wherein  the  Lord  thy 
'^God  hath  '^blessed  thee. 

8  •'^Ye  shall  not  do  after  all  the 
things  that  we  do  here  this  day, 
every  man  whatsoever  is  right  in 
his  own  ''eyes. 

9  For  ye  are  not  as  yet  come  to 
the  rest  and  to  the  inheritance, 
which  the  Lord  your  God  giv- 
eth you. 

10  But  whe7i  ye  go  over  ^Jor'-

CHAPTER  13 

ErUlcers  to  idolatry,  6  even  one's  nearest 
kindred,  9  are  to  be  stoned  to  death.  12 
Idolatrous  cities  are  not  to  be  spared. 


IF  there  arise  among  you  a 
"•''•'^prophet,  or  a  dreamer 
of  ''dreams,  and  giveth  thee  a 
'^sign  or  a  wonder, 

2  And  the  ''sign  or  the  wonder 
come  to  pass,  whereof  "•''■^le 
spake  unto  thee,  saying,  ^Let  us 
"go  after  other  gods,  which  thou 
hast  not  known,  and  let  us  serve 
them ; 

3  ''•'Thou  shalt  not  hearken  un-

or  that  dreamer  of  ''dreams :  for 
the  Lord  your  God  'proveth 
you,  to  know  whether  ye  ^love 
the  Lord  your  God  with  all 
your  'heart  and  with  all  your 
soul. 

4  '"Ye  shall  walk  after  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  "fear  him, 
and  "keep  his  commandments, 
and  obey  his  voice,  and  ye  shall 
serve  him,  and  cleave  unto  him. 

5  And  that  "•''•^prophet,  or  that 
dreamer  of  ''dreams,  shall  be 
^put  to  death;  because  he  hath 
spoken  *to  turn  you  away  from 
the  Lord  your  God,  which

and  afterwards  the  hand  of  all

10  And  thou  shalt  "'.stone  him

he  hath  sought  to  thrust  thee 
away  from  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  brought  thee  out  of  the

release. 

2  And  this  i.s  the  manner  of 
the  release:  Every  creditor  that 
^lendeth  ought  unto  his  ''neigh- 
bour shall  release  it;  he  shall  not 
exact  it  of  his  neighbour,  or  of

the  Lord's  release. 

3  Of  a  ""foreigner  thou  mayest 
exact  it  again:  but  that  which 
is  thine  with  thy  brother  thine 
hand  shall  release; 

4  'Save  when  there  shall  be  no

CHAPTER  17 

Things  sacrificed  to  be  without  blemish. 
2  Idolaters  arc  to  be  slain.  8  Hard  mat- 
ters of  controversy  are  to  be  determined 
by  the  priests  and  judges.  12  Death 
penalty  for  contempt  of  court.  14  The 
election,    16  and  duty  of  a  king. 

THOU  shalt  not  sacrifice  un- 
to the  Lord  thy  God  any 
"bullock,  or  sheep,  wherein  is 
''•^blemish,  or  any  evilfavoured- 
ness :  for  that  is  an  '^abomination 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God, 

2  ^  *If  there  be  found  among 
you,  within  any  of  thy  gates 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee,  man  or  woman,  that  hath 
wrought  wickedness  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord  thy  God,  in  trans- 
gressing his  covenant, 

3  ''And  hath  gone  and  'served 
other  gods,  and  worshipped 
them,  either  the  ^sun,  or  ''moon, 
or  any  of  the  host  of  heaven, 
which  I  have  not  commanded; 

4  ''And  it  be  told  thee,  and  thou 
hast  heard  of  it,  and  enquired 
diligently,  and,  behold,  it  he  true, 
and  the  thing  certain,  that  such 
''abomination  is  wrought  in  I.s'- 
ra-el : 

5  "-'Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth 
that  man  or  that  woman,  which 
have  committed  that  wicked 
''thing,  unto  thy  Agates,  even  that 
man  or  that  woman,  and  shalt 
*• 'stone  them  with  stones,  till 
they  die. 

6  "'At  the  *mouth  of  two  "wit- 
nesses, or  three  witnesses,  shall 
he  that  is  Worthy  of  death  be 
"put  to  death;  hut  at  the  mouth 
of  one  witness  he  shall  not  be 
put  to  death. 

7  The  hands  of  the  ^witnesses 
shall  be  first  upon  him  to  "''put 
him  to  death,  and  afterward  the 


hands  of  all  the  people.  So  thou 
shalt  put  the  evil  away  from 
among  you. 

8  %  ''If  there  arise  a  matter  too 
hard  for  thee  in  judgment,  be- 
tween blood  and  blood,  between 
'plea  and  plea,  and  between 
^stroke  and  stroke,  being  mat- 
ters of  controversy  within  thy 
gates:  then  shalt  thou  arise,  and 
get  thee  up  into  the  place  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  choose; 

9  And  thou  shalt  come  unto  the 
'priests  the  "Le'vltes,  and  unto 
the  'judge  that  shall  be  in  those 
days,  and  enquire;  and  "'they 
shall  shew  thee  the  sentence  of 
judgment: 

10  And  thou  shalt  do  according 
to  the  sentence,  which  ""they  of 
that  place  which  the  Lord  shall 
choose  shall  shew  thee;  and  thou 
shalt  observe  to  do  according  to 
all  that  they  inform  thee: 

11  According  to  the  "sentence 
of  the  law  which  -^they  shall 
teach  thee,  and  according  to  the 
judgment  which  they  shall  tell 
thee,  thou  shalt  do:  thou  shalt 
not  decline  from  the  sentence 
which  they  shall  shew  thee,  to 
the  right  hand,  nor  to  the  left. 

12  ^And  the  man  that  will  do 
presumptuously,  and  will  ^not 
hearken  unto  the  priest  that 
standeth  to  minister  there  before 
the  Lord  thy  God,  or  unto  the 
judge,  even  that  man  shall  '^die: 
and  thou  shalt  put  away  the  evil 
from  Is'ra-el. 

13  *x\.nd  all  the  people  shall 
hear,  and  "fear,  and  do  no  more 
presumptuously. 

14  ^  When  thou  art  come  unto 
the  ''land  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee,  and  shalt  pos- 
sess it,  and  shalt  dwell  therein, 
and  shalt  say,  I  will  set  a  "king

17  Neither  shall  ''he  ^multiply

and  of  the  Levltc.  9  The  abominations 
of  the  nations  arc  to  be  avoided,  l.")  .4 
Prophet  Is  promised  to  Israel.  20  The 
false  prophet  is  to  die. 

'^npHE  priests  the  Le'vites,  and 
-L  all  the  tribe  of  Le'vl,  shall 
have  no  part  nor  inheritance 
with  Is'ra-el:  "•'"they  shall  eat 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made 
by  fire,  and  his  inheritance. 

2  Therefore  shall  '^they  have  no 
inheritance  among  their  breth- 
ren: the  Lord  is  their  inherit- 
ance, as  he  hath  said  unto  them. 

3  ]f  And  this  shall  be  the 
"priest's  due  from  the  "people, 
from  them  that  offer  a  ''sacrifice, 
whether  it  be  ox  or  sheep;  and 
they  shall  give  unto  the  priest  the 
shoulder,  and  the  two  cheeks, 
and  the  maw. 

4  The  "firstfruit  also  of  thy 
corn,  of  thy  wine,  and  of  thine 
oil,  and  the  first  of  the  "•'^fleece  of 
thy  sheep,  shalt  "thou  ''give  him. 

5  For  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
chosen  ''him  out  of  all  thy  tribes, 
to  stand  to  minister  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  him  and  his  sons 
for  ever. 

6  ^  And  if  a  ''Le'vite  come  from

that  he  may  live:  Whoso  ''killeth 
his  neighbour  'ignorantly,  whom 
he  hated  not  in  time  past; 

5  As  when  a  man  goeth  into  the 
wood  with  his  neighbour  to  hew 
wood,  and  his  hand  fetcheth  a 
stroke  with  the  *ax  to  cut  down 
the  tree,  and  the  head  slippeth 
from  the  helve,  and  lighteth  up- 
on his  neighbour,  ''that  he  die;

his  heart  is  hot  and  overtake 
him,  because  the  way  is  long, 
and  slay  him;  whereas  he  %vas 
not  worthy  of  death,  inasmuch 
as  he  *hated  him  not  in  time 
past. 

7  Wherefore  I  command  thee, 
saying,  Thou  shalt  separate 
three  ''cities  for  thee. 

8  And  if  the  Lord  thy  God  en- 
large thy  coast,  as  he  hath  sworn 
unto  thy  fathers,  and  give  thee 
all  the  land  which  he  promised 
to  give  unto  thy  fathers; 

9  If  thou  shalt  keej)  all  these 
commandments  to  do  them, 
which  I  command  thee  this  day, 
to  'love  the  Lord  thy  CJod,  and 
to  walk  ever  in  his  ways;  then 
shalt  thou  add  three  ''cities  more 
for  thee,  beside  these  three: 

10  That  innocent  blood  be  not 
shed  in  thy  land,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee  for 
an  inheritance,  and  .s-o  blood  be 
upon  thee. 

1 1  ^  "But  if  any  man  ^hate  his 
neighbour,  and  lie  in  wait  ''for 
him,  and  rise  up  against  him, 
and  smite  him  mortally  that  he 


tlie,  and  fleeth  into  one  of  these 
''cities : 

12  Then  the  'elders  of  his  city 
shall  send  and  fetch  him  thence, 
and  deliver  him  into  the  hand  of 
the  ^avenger  of  blood,  that  he 
may  die. 

13  Thine  eye  shall  not  'pity 
him,  but  thou  shalt  put  away  ihc

thee. 

14  ^  '^Thou  shalt  not  remove

exempt  from  tlie  war.  10  Hoic  to  deal

proclamation  of  peace.  16  What  cities 
must  be  dcstroi/cd.  19  Fruit  trees  not  to 
be  destroyed  in  tlie  siege. 

WHEN  thou  goest  out  to 
"battle  against  thine  ene- 
mies, and  seest  horses,  and  char- 
iots, and  a  people  more  than 
thou,  ^■''be  not  afraid  of  them :  for 
the  Lord  thy  God  w  with  thee, 
which  brought  thee  up  out  of  the 
land  of  1^'gypt. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  when  ye  are 
come  nigh  unto  the  battle,  that 
the  'Spriest  shall  approach  and 
speak  unto  the  ^people, 

3  '^And  shall  ^say  unto  them. 
Hear,  O  Is'ra-el,  ye  approach 
this  day  unto  battle  against  your 
enemies:  ''let  not  your  hearts 
faint,  fear  not,  and  do  not  trem- 
ble, neither  be  ye  terrified  be- 
cause of  them ; 

4  For  the  IvORd  your  ''God  ?',? 
he  that  goetli  with  you,  to  *fight 
for  you  against  your  enemies,  lo 
save  you. 

5  T[  And  the  officers  shall  speak 
unto  the  ^people,  saying.  What 
man  is  there  that  hath  built  a 
new  house,  and  hath  not  ''dedi- 
cated it  ?  let  him  go  and  return 
to  his  house,  lest  he  die  in  the  l)at- 
tle,  and  another  man  dedicate  it. 

6  And  what  man  is  he  that  hath 
'planted  a  vineyard,  and  hath 
not  yet  eaten  of  it  ?  let  him  also 
go  and  return  unto  his  house, 
lest  he  die  in  the  battle,  and  an- 
other man  eat  of  it. 


7  And  what  man  is  there  that 
hath  betrothed  a  wife,  and  hath 
not  taken  her  ?  let  him  go  and 
return  unto  his  house,  lest  he  die 
in  the  battle,  and  another  man 
ta!:e  her. 

8  And  the  officers  shall  speak 
further  unto  the  "people,  and 
they  shall  say,  What  ^man  is 
there  that  is  ^'fearful  and  faint- 
hearted ?  let  him  go  and  return 
unto  his  house,  lest  his  breth- 
ren's heart  faint  as  well  as  his 
heart. 

9  And  it  shall  be,  when  the 
officers  have  made  an  end  of 
speaking  unto  the  "people,  that 
they  shall  make  'captains  of  the 
armies  to  lead  the  people. 

10  ^  When  thou  comest  nigh 
unto  a  city  to  '"fight  against  it, 
then  proclaim  "peace  unto  it. 

11  And  it  shall  be,  if  it  make 
thee  answer  of  '^peace,  and  open 
unto  thee,  then  it  shall  be,  tltat 
all  the  people  that  is  found  there- 
in shall  be  tributaries  unto  thee, 
and  they  shall  serve  thee. 

12  And  if  it  will  make  no  "peace 
with  thee,  but  will  make  ''war 
against  thee,  then  thou  shalt 
'"besiege  it: 

13  And  when  the  T^ord  thy 
God  hath  delivered  it  into  thine 
hands,  thou  shalt  ''■''smite  every 
male  thereof  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword : 

14  But  the  '■•Vomen,  and  the 
little  ones,  and  the  cattle,  and  all 
that  is  in  the  city,  even  all  the 
'spoil  thereof,  shalt  thou  take  un- 
to thyself;  and  thou  shalt  eat  the 
spoil  of  thine  enemies,  Avhich  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  given  thee. 

15  Thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  all 
the  cities  which  are  very  far  off 
from  thee,  which  are  not  of  the

and  ^be  her  husband,  and  she

CHAPTER  23 

Who  may  and  who  may  not  enter  into  the

17  Of  leivdness.  18  Of  abominable  sacri-

HE  that  is  wounded  in  the 
stones,  or  "hath  his  privy 
member  cut  off,  shall  not  enter 
into  the  congregation  of  the 
Lord. 

2  A  *bastard  shall  not  enter  in- 
to the  congregation  of  the  Lord; 
even  to  his  tenth  generation  shall 
he  not  enter  into  the  conereira- 
tion  of  the  Lord. 

3  An  "Am'mon-ite  or  '^jNIo'ab- 
Ite  shall  not  enter  into  the  con- 
gregation of  the  Lord;  even  to 
their  tenth  generation  shall  they 
not  enter  into  the  congregation 
of  the  Lord  for  ever: 

4  Because  they  '^met  ''you  not 
with  bread  and  with  water  in  the 
way,  when  ye  came  forth  out  of 
''E'gypt;  and  because  they  "hired 
against  thee  ^Ba'Iaam  the  son  of 
Be'or  of  Te'thor  of  *Mes-o-p6- 
ta'mi-a,  to  curse  thee. 

5  Nevertheless  the  Lord  thy 
God  •'would  not  hearken  unto 
Ba'laam;  but  the  Lord  thy 
^God  turned  the  curse  into  a

form the  duty  of  my  husband's 
brother. 

8  Then  the  '-"elders  of  his  city 
shall  call  him,  and  speak  unto 
him:  and  if  he  stand  to  it,  and 
say,  I  like  not  to  take  her;

ill  his  face,  and  shall  answer  and 
say.  So  shall  it  be  done  unto  that 
man  that  will  not  build  up  his 
brother's  house. 

10  And  his  name  shall  be  called 
in  Ls'ra-el,  The  house  of  him 
that  hath  his  'shoe  loosed.

are  an  'abomination  unto  the

18  How  ^he  met  '^thee  by  the

thee,  etvn  all  that  were  feeble  be- 
hind thee,  when  thou  wast  faint 
and  weary;  and  he  feared  not 
God. 

19  Therefore  it  shall  be,  when 
the  Lord  thy  '"God  hath  given 
thee  rest  from  all  thine  enemies 
round  about,  in  the  "land  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee 
for  an  inheritance  to  possess  it, 
that  *thou  shalt  "blot  out  the

forget  it.

4  And  the  'priest  shall  take  the 
''basket  out  of  thine  hand,  and 
set  it  down  before  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  thy  God. 

5  And  thou  shalt  speak  and  say 
before  the  Lord  thy  God,  A 
Syr'i-aii  ready  to  perish  ivas  my 
father,  and  he  went  down  into 
"E'gypt,  and  sojourned  there 
with  a  'few,  and  became  there  a 
nation,  great,  mighty,  and  popu- 
lous: 

6  And  the  'E-gyp'tian.s  evil  en- 
treated us,  and  afflicted  us,  and 
laid  upon  ^us  hard  bondage: 

7  And  when  we  cried  unto  the 
Lord  God  of  our  fathers,  the 
Lord  heard  our  'voice,  and 
looked  on  our  '"affliction,  and 
our  lal)our,  and  our  oppr(\ssion: 

8  And  the  "Lord  l^rought  us 
forth  out  of  ''E'gypt  with  a 
mighty  hand,  and  with  an  out- 
stretched arm,  and  with  great 
terril)l(>ne.ss,  and  with  ^signs, 
and  with  wonders: 

9  And  he  hath  brought  us  into 
this  place,  and  hath  given  us 
this  "land,  even  a  land  th;it  flow- 
eth  svith  "milk  and  ''lioncy. 

10  And  now,  behold,  I  have 
brought  the  '^firstfruits  of  the 
"land,  which  "thou,  O  Lord, 
hast  given  me.  And  thou  shalt 
set  it  before  the  I^ORD  thy  God, 


and  worship  before  the  Lord 
thy  God: 

11  And  thou  shalt  ''rejoice  in 
every  good  tiling  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  given  unto 
thee,  and  unto  thine  house,  thou, 
and  the  Le'vlte,  and  the  stranger 
that  if  among  you. 

12  ^  When  thou  hast  made  an 
end  of  tithing  all  the  'tithes  of 
thine  increase  the  third  year, 
^vhich  is  the  year  of  tithing,  and 
hast  given  Ht  unto  the  Le'vlte, 
the  'stranger,  the  "fatherless, 
and  the  ''widow,  that  they  may 
eat  within  thy  gates,  and  be 
filled; 

13  Then  thou  shalt  say  before 
the  Lord  thy  God,  I  have 
brought  away  the  hallowed 
things  out  of  mine  house,  and 
also  have  given  Hhem  unto  the 
Le'vite,  and  unto  the  'stranger, 
to  the  "fatherless,  and  to  the 
''widow,  ""according  to  all  thy 
commandments  which  thou  hast 
commanded  me:  I  have  not 
t  r a  n  s  g  r  e  s  s  e  d  thy  command- 
ments, neither  have  I  forgotten 
tJiem: 

14  I  have  not  eaten  thereof  in 
my  ^mourning,  neither  have  I 
taken  away  ought  thereof  for  any 
unclean  u.sr.,  nor  given  might 
thereof  for  the  dead :  but  I  have 
hearkened  to  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  my  God,  and  have  "'done 
accordmg  to  all  that  thou  hast 
commanded  me. 

15  Look  down  from  thy  holy 
habitation,  from  ^heaven,  and 
^l)less  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  and 
the  land  which  thou  hast  given 
us,  as  "tliou  swar(^st  unto  our  fa- 
thers, a  land  that  floweth  with 
milk  and  iioney. 

16  M  "This  day  the  LoRJ)  thy 
God  hath  commanded  thee  to

CHAPTER  27 

The  people  are  commanded  to  write  the  laiv 
upon  stones:  5  and  to  build  an  altar  of 
whole  stones.  11  The  tribes  divided  on 
GcrlzUn  and  Ebal.  14  The  curses  pro- 
nounced from  mount  Ebal. 

\  ND  Mo'se-s  with  the  "elders 
-^  of  *I.s'ra-el  commanded 
the  people,  saying,  '^•'^Keep  all 
the  commandments  which  I 
command  you  this  day. 

2  And  it  shall  be  on  the  day 
when  ye  shall  pass  over  ^Jor'dan 
unto  the  ''land  which  the  Lord 
thy  ''God  giveth  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  ''set  thee  up  great  stones, 
and  plaister  them  with  plaister: 

3  And  thou  shalt  write  upon 
them  all  the  words  of  this  ^law, 
when  thou  art  passed  over,  that 
thou  mayest  go  in  unto  the  ^land 
which  the  Lord  thy  «'God  giveth 
thee,  a  land  that  floweth  with 
'milk  and  'honey;  as  the  Lord 
God  of  thy  fathers  hath  prom- 
ised thee. 

4  Therefore  it  shall  be  when  ye 
be  gone  over  ^'Jor'dan,  that  ye 
shall  set  up  tliese  stones,  whicli  I 
command  you  this  day,  in  mount 
n^ybal,  and  thou  shalt  plaister 
them  with  plaister. 

5  And  there  shalt  thou  build  an 
'"altar  unto  the  Lord  thy  God, 


an  altar  of  stones:  thou  shalt  not 
lift  up  any  iron  tool  upon  them. 

6  Thou  shalt  build  the  '"altar 
of  the  Lord  thy  God  of  whole 
stones:  and  thou  shalt  offer 
"burnt  offerings  thereon  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God: 

7  And  thou  shalt  offer  "peace 
offerings,  and  shalt  eat  there, 
and  rejoice  before  the  Lord  thy 
God. 

8  And  thou  shalt  write  upon  the 
stones  all  the  words  of  this  'law 
very  plainly. 

9  Tf  And  ^lo'.se.s  and  the  priests 
the  Le'vltes  spake  unto  all  *Is'- 
ra-el,  saying,  ^Take  heed,  and 
hearken,  O  Is'ra-el;  this  day 
thou  art  ^become  the  people  of 
the  Lord  thy  ''God. 

10  *-'Thou  shalt  therefore  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  do  his  commandments  and 
his  statutes,  which  I  command 
thee  this  day. 

11  Tf  And  Mouses  charged  the 
^people  the  same  day,  saying, 

12  "These  shall  stand  upon 
mount  "Ger'i-zim  to  ""bless  the 
people,  when  ye  are  come  over 
Jor'dan;  ^Sim'e-on,  and  ^LeWi, 
and  ^Ju'dah,  and  "Is'sa-char, 
and  ''■'^Jo'.seph,and  ''Ben'ja-min : 

13  And  these  shall  stand  upon 
mount  ^E'bal  to  ^curse;  ^Reu'- 
ben,  "Gad,  and  *Ash'er,and 'Zeb'- 
u-liin,  ^Dan,  and  'Niiph'ta-ll. 

14  T[  And  the  '"Le'vltes  shall 
speak,  and  ''say  unto  all  the  men 
of  Is'ra-el  with  a  loud  voice, 

15  ^'"Cursed  be  the  man  that 
maketh  any  graven  or  molten 
"image,  an  ^abomination  unto 
the  Lord,  the  work  of  the  hands 
of  the  craftsman,  and  putteth  it 
in  a  secret  place.  And  all  the 
people  shall  answer  and  say. 
Amen. 

16  ^Cursed  be  ''he  that  setteth

unto  this  day. 

5  And  '^•T  have  led  ^you  forty 
years  in  the  wilderness:  'your 
'clothes  are  not  waxen  old  upon 
you,  and  thy  '"shoe  is  not  waxen 
old  upon  thy  foot. 

6  'Ye  have  not  eaten  bread, 
'^neither  have  ye  drunk  "wine 
or  strong  drink:  *that  ye  might 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God. 

7  And  when  ye  came  unto  this 
place,  ^'Sl'hon  the  king  of 
'Hesh'bon,  and  ''Og  the  king  of 
"Ba'shan,  came  out  against  us 
unto  battle,  and  we  smote  them : 

8  And  we  took  their  land,  and 
gave  it  for  an  inheritance  unto 
the  'Rcii'ben-itcs,  and  to  the 
"Gad'ites,  and  to  the  half  tribe

^that  ye  may  prosper  in  all  that 
ye  do. 

10  Tl  Ye  stand  this  day  all  of 
you  before  the  Lord  your  God; 
your  captains  of  your  tribes, 
your  ^elders,  and  your  officers,

12  That  thou  shouldest  enter 
into  *covenant  with  the  Lord

his  heart,  saying,  I  shall  have 
peace,  though  I  walk  in  the

-add  drunkenness  to  thirst: 

20  The  Lord  will  not  ^spare 
him,  but  then  the  ''"'anger  of  the

smoke  against  that  man,  and  all 
the  ^curses  that  are  written  in

the  Lord  shall  blot  out  his

21  And  the  IvORD  shall  separate 
him  unto  evil  out  of  all  the  tribes 
of  *  Is'ra-el,  according  to  all  the 
curses  of  the  *covenant  that  are 
written  in  this  book  of  the  ''law : 

22  So  that  the  generation  to 
come  of  your  children  that  shall 
rise  up  after  you,  and  the 
^•"stranger  that  shall  come  from 
a  far  land,  shall  say,  when  they

27  And  the  'anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  this  land,  to

11  ^  For  this  ^commandment 
which  I  command  thee  this  day, 
it  is  not  ^hidden  from  thee,  nei-

shouldest  "say,  Who  shall  go  up 
for  us  to  heaven,  and  bring  it 
unto  us,  that  we  may  hear  it,

23  And  he  gave  ''Josh'u-a  the 
son  of  Nun  a  charge,  and  said, 
*Be  strong  and  of  a  good  *cour- 
age:  for  thou  shalt  bring  the  chil- 
dren of  ^Is'ra-el  into  the  land 
which  I  sware  unto  them:  and  I 
will  be  with  thee. 

24  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Mo'ses  had  made  an  end  of 
writing  the  words  of  this  ^law  in 
a  ^book,  until  they  were  finished, 

25  That  ]\Io'.se.s  commanded 
the  '"Le'vltes,  which  bare  the 
"ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,   saying, 


26  Take  this  'book  of  the  ^law, 
and  put  it  in  the  side  of  the  "ark 
of  the  ovenant  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  that  it  may  be  there 
for  a  witness  against  thee. 

27  "For  I  know  thy  rebellion, 
and  thy  ^stiff  neck:  behold, 
while  I  am  yet  alive  with  you 
this  day,  ye  have  been  ^rebel- 
lious against  the  Lord;  and  how 
much  more  after  my  death  ? 

28  Gather  unto  me  all  the  ''eld- 
ers of  your  tribes,  and  your  of- 
ficers, that  I  may  speak  these 
words  in  their  ears,  and  call 
heaven  and  earth  to  record 
against  them. 

29  For  I  know  that  after  my 
death  je  will  utterly  corrupt 
yourselves,  and  turn  aside  from 
the  way  which  I  have  com- 
manded you;  and  evil  will  befall 
'you  in  the  latter  days;  because 
ye  will  do  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  '-"an- 
ger through  the  work  of  your 
hands. 

30  And  Mo'se-s  spake  in  the 
ears  of  all  the  congregation  of 
Ls'ra-el  the  words  of  this  '^song, 
until  they  were  ended. 

CHAPTER  32 

Moses'  song  in  which  he  sets  forth  God's 
mercy  and  vengeance.  46  He  exhorts 
them  to  lay  It  up  in  their  hearts.  48  God 
sends  him  up  to  mount  Ncbo,  to  see  the 
land,  and  die, 

GIVE  ear,  O  ye  heavens,  and 
I  will  speak;  and  hear,  O 
earth,  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

2  My  doctrine  shall  drop  as  the 
rain,  my  speech  shall  distil  as  the 
dew,  as  the  small  rain  upon  the 
tender  herb,  and  as  the  showers 
upon  the  grass : 

3  Because  I  will  publish  the 
name  of  the  Lord:  ascribe  ye 
greatness  unto  our  God. 

4  He  is  the  "Rock,  his  "work  is 
perfect:  for  all  '^his  ways  are 
judgment:  a  '^God  of  Hruth  and 
''without  iniquity,  just  and  right 
is  he.

unwise  ?  is  not  ''he  thy  father 
that  hath  bought  thee  ?  hath  'he 
not  made  thee,  and  established

7  Remember  the  days  of  old, 
consider  the  years  of  many  gene- 
rations: ask  thy  father,  and  he 
will  shew  thee;  thy  elders,  and 
they  will  tell  thee. 

8  When  the  'ISIost  High  divided 
to  the  nations  their  'inheritance, 
when  he  ^separated  the  sons  of 
'"Ad'am,  he  "set  the  bounds  of 
the  people  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

9  For  the  ^Lord's  portion  is 
his  people;  Ja'cob  is  the  lot  of 
his  inheritance. 

10  "Pie  found  him  in  a  desert 
land,  and  in  the  waste  howling 
wilderness;  ^he  led  him  about, 
he  instructed  him,  *he  kept  him 
as  the  apple  of  his  eye. 

11  As  an  ''eagle  stirreth  up  her 
nest,  fluttereth  over  her  young, 
spreadeth  abroad  her  wings,  tak- 
eth  them,  beareth  them  on  her 
wings: 

12  So  the  ^LoRD  alone  did  lead 
him,  and  there  was  no  strange 
god  with  him. 

13  *He  made  him  ride  on  the 
high  places  of  the  earth,  that  he 
might  eat  the  increase  of  the 
fields ;  and  he  made  him  to  suck 
'honey  out  of  the  rock,  and  oil 
out  of  the  "flinty  ^rock; 

14  "Butter  of  kine,  and  ^milk 
of  sheep,  with  fat  of  lambs,  and 
rams  of  the  l)n'('(l  of  ^Ba'shan, 


and  ^goats,  with  the  fat  of  kid- 
neys of  wheat;  and  thou  didst 
drink  the  pure  blood  of  the 
grape. 

15  But  ^Jesh'u-run  waxed 
"•  ''fat,  and  lacked :  thou  art  wax- 
en fat,  thou  art  grown  thick, 
thou  art  covered  loith  fatness; 
then  he  ^•'^' '^forsook  ^God  which 
made  him,  and  lightly  esteemed 
the  ^-''Rock  of  his  ^salvation. 

16  'They  provoked  ^him  to 
'jealousy  with  strange  '"gods, 
with  "abominations  provoked 
they  him  to  "anger. 

17  'They  '"sacrificed  unto 
^•''devils,  not  to  God;  to  gods 
whom  they  knew  not,  to  new 
gods  that  came  newly  up,  whom 
your  fathers  feared  not. 

18  Of  the  ^Rock  that  begai  thee 
thou  art  ''unmindful,  and  hast 
forgotten  ''God  that  formed  thee. 

19  And  when  the  Lord  saw  Ht, 
he  abhorred  them,  because  of  the 
provoking  of  his  sons,  and  of  his 
daughters, 

20  And  he  said,  I  will  hide  my 
face  from  them,  I  will  see  what 
their  end  shall  be:  for  they  are  a 
very  froward  generation,  chil- 
dren in  whom  is  no  faith. 

21  They  have  moved  *me  to 
'jealousy  with  that  which  is  not 
(iod ;  they  have  provoked  me  to 
"anger  with  their  vanities:  and 
^I  will  move  them  to  jealousy 
with  those  which  are  not  a  peo- 
ple ;  I  will  provoke  them  to  anger 
with  a  foolish  nation, 

22  For  a  'fire  is  kindled  in  mine

with  the  poison  of  ^serpents  of

terror  within,  shall  destroy  both 
the  young  man  and  the  ^virgin, 
the  suckling  also  with  the  man 
of  gray  hairs. 

26  I  said,  I  would  scatter  '^them 
into  corners,  I  would  make  the 
remembrance  of  them  to  cease 
from  among  men : 

27  Were  it  not  that  I  feared  the 
wrath  of  the  enemy,  lest  their  ad- 
versaries should  ^behave  them- 
selves strangely,  and  lest  they 
should  say,  Our  hand  is  high, 
and  the  Lord  hath  not  done  all 
this. 

28  For  they  are  a  nation  void 
of  counsel,  ''neither  is  there  any 
understanding  in  them. 

29  O  that  ^•''they  were  ''wise, 
that  they  understood  this,  that 
they  would  consider  their  latter 
''end! 

30  ^•''How  should  one  chase  a 
thousand,  and  two  put  ten  thou- 
sand to  ''flight,  except  Hheir 
Rock  had  sold  ^them,  and  the 
Lord  had  ^shut  them  up  ? 

31  For  their  rock  is  not  as  our 
Rock,  even  our  enemies  them- 
selves  being  judges. 

32  For  *their  vine  is  of  the  vine 
of  'SSd'om,  and  of  the  fields  of 
'"G6-m5r'rah:  their  "grapes  are 
grapes  of  °gall,  their  clusters  are 
bitter: 

33  Their  wine  is  the  poison  of 
^dragons,  and  the  cruel  "venom 
of  ^asps. 


34  ^Is  not  this  laid  up  in  store 
with  me,  and  sealed  up  among 
my  treasures  ? 

35  '^To  me  belongeth  vengeance, 
and  recompence;  their  foot  shall 
slide  in  due  time:  for  the  day  of 
their  calamity  is  at  hand,  and 
the  things  that  shall  come  upon 
them  make  haste. 

36  For  the  *Lord  shall  judge 
his  people,  and  'repent  "himself 
for  his  servants,  when  he  seeth 
that  their  power  is  gone,  and 
there  is  none  shut  up,  or   left. 

37  And  he  shall  say.  Where  are 
their  ^gods,  their  rock  in  whom 
tliey  trusted, 

38  ^W^hich  did  eat  the  fat  of 
their  sacrifices,  and  drank  the 
wine  of  their  drink  offerings  ?  let 
them  rise  up  and  help  you,  and 
be  your  protection. 

39  See  now  that  ^I,  even  I,  am 
he,  and  there  is  no  god  with  me: 
■^I  ^kill,  and  I  make  ^alive;  1 
"wound,  and  I  ''heal:  neither  is 
there  any  that  can  deliver  out  of 
my  hand. 

40  For  I  lift  up  my  hand  to 
heaven,  and  say,  '^I  live  for  ever. 

41  If  I  whet  my  glittering 
''sword,  and  mine  hand  take 
hold  on  judgment;  I  will  ren- 
der ^vengeance  to  mine  enemies, 
and  will  reward  them  that  hate 
me. 

42  I  will  make  mine  arrows 
drunk  with  blood,  and  my  sword 
shall  devour  flesh;  a7id  that  with 
the  blood  of  the  slain  and  of  the 
captives,  ^from  the  beginning  of 
revenges  upon  the  enemy. 

43  ^Rejoice,  O  ye  nations,  with 
his  people :  for  he  will  avenge  the 
blood  of  his  servants,  and  will 
render  vengeance  to  his  adver- 
saries, and  will  ''be  merciful  unto

45  And  "Mo'.se-s  made  an  end 
of  speaking  all  these  words  to 
all  Is'ra-el: 

46  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^Set 
your  hearts  unto  all  the  words 
which  I  testify  among  you  this 
day,  which  *ye  shall  command 
your  children  to  observe  to  'do,

'"through  this  thing  ye  shall  pro- 
long yoiir  days  in  the  land,

possession : 

50  And  ^dic  in  the  "mount 
whither  thou  goest  up,  and  be 
gathered  unto  thy  people;  as 
'Aar'on  thy  brother  died  in 
mount  "Hor,  and  was  gathered 
unto  his  people: 

51  Because  ye  trespassed 
against  me  among  the  children 


of  Is'ra-el  at  the  waters  of  "Mer'- 
i-bah-Ka'desh,  in  the  wilderness 
of  "'Zin;  because  ye  sanctified 
me  not  in  the  midst  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ls'ra-el. 

52  Yet  thou  shalt  see  the  '^land

7  Tf  And  this  is  the  blessing  of" 
^Ju'dah:  and  he  "said,  Hear, 
Lord,  the  voice  of  Ju'dah,  and 
bring  him  unto  his  people:  let  his 
hands  be  sufficient  for  him;  and 
be  thou  an  help  to  him  from  his 
enemies. 

8  t  And  of  «Le'vi  he  "said.  Let 
thy  '^Thum'mim  and  thy  U'rim 
be  with  thy  holy  one,  whom  thou 
didst  prove  at  jNIas'sah,  and  ivith 
whom  thou  didst  strive  at  the 
waters  of  *Mer'i-bah; 

9  Who  said  unto  his  father  and 
to  his  mother,  I  have  not  seen 
him ;  neither  did  he  acknowledge 
his  brethren,  nor  knew  his  own 
children :  for  they  have  ^observed 
thy  word,  and  kept  thy  covenant. 

10  «Thcy  shall  "teach  Ja'cob 
thy  judgments,  and  Is'ra-el  thy 
*law:  they  shall  put  "'incense  be- 
fore thee,  and  whole  ^burnt  sac- 
rifice upon  thine  altar. 

11  "'^Bless,  Lord,  his  sub- 
stance, and  accept  the  work  of 
his  hands:  smite  through  the 
loins  of  them  that  rise  against 
him,  and  of  them  that  hate  him, 
that  they  rise  not  again. 

12  ^  A7id  of  ^Bcn'ja-min  he 
"said.  The  beloved  of  the  Lord 
shall  dAvell  in  safety  by  him;  and 
the  ^LoBD  shall  cover  him  all  the 
day  long,  and  he  shall  dwell  be- 
tween his  shoulders. 

13  H  And  of  ^-'^Jo'.seph  he  °said. 
Blessed  of  the  Lord  be  liis  land, 
for  the  precious  things  of  heaven, 
for  the  ^dew,  and  for  the  deep 
that  coucheth  beneath, 

14  And  for  the  precious  fruits 
brought  forth  by  the  ^sun,  and  for 


the  precious  things  put  forth  by 
the  ''moon, 

15  And  for  the  chief  things  of 
the  ancient  mountains,  and  for 
the  precious  things  of  the  "last- 
ing ''hills, 

16  And  for  the  precious  things 
of  the  earth  and  fulness  thereof, 
and  for  the  good  will  of  him  that 
dwelt  in  the  ^bush:  "let  tJie  bless- 
ing come  upon  the  head  of 
'^''^Jo'seph,  and  upon  the  top  of 
the  head  of  him  tltat  was  sep- 
arated from  his  brethren. 

17  His  glory  is  like  the  firstling 
of  his  bullock,  and  his  horns  are 
like  the  hoi'ns  of  •''•'unicorns: 
with  them  he  shall  jiush  the  peo- 
ple together  to  the  ends  of  the 
earth:  and  they  are  the  ten  thou- 
sands of  "^E'phra-im,  and  they 
are  the  thousands  of  ''Ma-nas'- 
seh. 

18  ^  And  of  ^Zeb'u-lun  he  said, 
Rejoice,  Zeb'u-lun,  in  thy  going 
out;  and,  ^Is'sa-char,  in  thy 
tents. 

19  They  shall  call  the  people 
unto  the  mountain;  there  they 
shall  '"offer  sacrifices  of  right- 
eousness: for  they  shall  suck  of 
the  abundance  of  the  seas,  and 
of  treasures  hid  in  the  sand. 

20  T[  And  of  +Gad  he  said, 
Blessed  be  he  that  enlargeth 
Gad:  he  dwelleth  as  a  ''lion,  and 
teareth  the  arm  with  the  crown 
of  the  head. 

21  And  he  provided  the  first 
part  for  himself,  because  there, 
in  a  portion  of  the  lawgiver,  was 
he  seated ;  and  he  came  with  the 
heads  of  the  people,  he  executed 
the  ^justice  of  the  Lord,  and 
his  judgments  with  Is'ra-el.

the  top  of  Ti.s'gah,  that  is  over 
against    ^Jer'i-cho.     And   the 


Lord    shewed    him    all    the

2  And  all  "Naph'ta-ll,  and  the

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
"him,  This  is  the  '"land  which  I 
"sware  unto  A'bra-ham,  unto 
I'saac,  and  unto  Ja'cob,  saying, 
I  will  give  it  unto  thy  seed:  I 
have  caused  thee  to  see  it  with 
thine  eyes,  but  thou  shalt  not  go 
over  thither. 

5  T[  So  "Mo'.ses  the  servant  of 
the  Lord  "died  there  in  the  land 
of  ''Mo'ab,  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  he  buried  him  in  a  valley 
in  the  land  of  ''Mo'ab,  over 
against  ^Beth-pe'or :  but  no  man 
knoweth  of  his  sepulchre  unto

7  ^  And  "Mo'.ses  was  '•  ''an  hun-

'wept  for  "Mo'ses  in  the  plains  of

CHAPTER  1 

The  Lord  appoints  J oshua  to  succeed  Moses. 
3  The  extent  of  the  promised  land.  5  God 
encourages  and  instructs  Joshua.  10 
Joshua  prepares  the  people  to  pass  over 
Jordan.  12  He  puts  the  tivo  tribes  and  a 
half  in  mind  of  their  promise  to  Moses. 
16  Then  promise  him  obedience. 

NOW  after  the  "death  of 
*M5'.se.s  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  it  came  to  pass,  that  the 
Lord  '^■'^spake  unto  *J6sh'u-a 
the  son  of  Niin,  Mo'ses'  minis- 
ter, saying, 

2  Mo'ses  my  servant  is  dead; 
now  therefore  "^arise,  go  over  this 
'^Jor'dan,  thou,  and  all  this  peo- 
ple, unto  the  ^land  which  I  do 
give  to  them,  even  to  the  children 
of  ^Is'ra-el. 

3  Every  place  that  the  sole  of 
your  foot  shall  tread  upon,  that 
have  '*I  given  unto  you,  as  I  said 
unto  Mo'se.s. 

4  'From  the  wilderness  and  this 
^Leb'a-non  even  unto  the  great 
river,  the  river  *Eu-phra'te.s,  all 
the  land  of  the  'Hit'tites,  and 
unto  the  '"great  sea  toward  the 
going  down  of  the  sun,  shall  be 
your  coast. 

5  '^There  shall  not  any  man  be 
able  to  stand  before  "thee  all  the 
days  of  thy  life:  as  I  was  with 
"Mouses,  so  P'"!  will  l)e  with 
thee:  ''■T  ^will  not  fail  thee,  nor 
forsake  thee. 

6  ''"Be  strong  and  of  a  good 


"courage:  for  'unto  this  people 
shalt  thou  divide  for  an  inherit- 
ance the  ''land,  which  I  "'sware 
unto  their  fathers  to  give  them. 

7  Only  '"be  *■  -^thou  strong  and 
very  "courageous,  that  thou 
may  est  oliserve  to  ^do  according 
to  all  the  ^law,  which  jNIo'.ses  my 
servant  commanded  thee:  turn 
not  from  ii;  to  the  right  hand  or 
to  the  left,  "that  thou  mayest 
''prosper  whithersoever  thou  go- 
est. 

8  ^This  ''book  of  the  ^aw  shall 
not  depart  out  of  thy  mouth ;  but 
'■^thou  shalt  ''meditate  therein 
day  and  night,  that  thou  mayest 
observe  to  do  according  to  all 
that  is  written  therein:  ''-'for 
then  ^thou  shalt  make  thy  way 
''■*  prosperous,  and  then  thou 
shalt  have  good  success. 

9  Have  not  T  commanded 
thee  ?  '"Be  strong  and  of  a  good 
courage;  "be  not  afraid,  neither 
be  thou  dismayed:  for  "the 
^Lord  thy  God  is  with  thee 
whithersoever  thou  goest. 

10  T[  Then  Josh'u-a  com- 
manded the  ^officers  of  the  ''peo- 
ple, saying, 

11  Pass  through  the  ''host,  and 
command  the   *people,   saying.

"Jor'dan,  to  go  in  to  possess  the 
'•^huul,  which  the  "Lord  your

*J6sh'u-a,  sa}ing, 

13  Remember  the  word  which 
"jNIo'se.s  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
commanded  you,  saying,  The 
''Lord  }'our  God  hath  given  you 
rest,  and  hath  gi^^^n  you  this 
^land. 

14  Your  '^wives,  your  "little 
ones,  and  your  ^cattle,  shall  re- 
main in  the  ^land  which  Mo'.ses 
gave  you  on  this  side  *  Jor'dan; 
but  ye  shall  pass  before  your 
brethren  armed,  all  the  mighty 
men  of  'valour,  and  help 
them ; 

15  Until  the  ''Lord  have  given 
your  brethren  rest,  as  he  hath 
given  you,  and  they  also  have 
possessed  the  '^land  which  the 
Lord  our  God  giveth  them: 
then  ye  shall  return  unto  the 
"land  of  your  possession,  and  en- 
joy it,  which  Mollies  the  Lord's 
servant  gave  you  on  this  side

16  Tj  And  they  answered 
*J6sh'u-a,  saying,  'All  that  thou 
commandest  us  we  will  do,  and 
whithersoever  thou  sendest  us, 
we  will  go. 

17  According  as  we  hearkened

Go  view  the  land,  even  '^Jer'i-

out  the  country. 

3  And  the  "king  of  ''Jerl-cho 
sent  unto  R  a'h  a  b,  saying, 
Bring  forth  the  '^men  that  are 
come  to  thee,  Avhich  are  entered 
into  thine  house:  for  they  be 
come  to  search  out  all  the 
country. 

4  And  the  -'^woman  took  the 
two  men,  and  'hid  them,  and 
said  thus.  There  came  men  unto 
me,  but  '1  wist  not  whence  they 
were : 

5  'Anil  it  came  to  pass  about  the 
time  of  shutting  of  the  *gate, 
when  it  was  dark,  that  the  men 
went  out :  whither  the  men  went 
I  wot  not:  pursue  after  them 
quickly;  for  ye  shall  overtake 
them. 

6  But  she  had  brought  them 
up  to  the  'roof  of  the  house,  and 
'hid  them  with  the  stalks  of 
'"flax,  which  she  had  laid  in 
order  upon  the  roof. 

7  And  the  men  pursued  after 
''them  the  way  to  "^ Jor'dan  imto 
the  fords:  and  as  soon  as  they 
which  pursued  after  them  were 
gone  out,  they  shut  the  *gate.

8  T[  And  before  ^they  were  laid 
down,  *she  came  up  unto  them 
upon  the  roof; 

9  And  she  said  unto  the  men,  I 
"know  that  the  Lord  hath  given 
you  the  ^land,  and  that  your  ter- 
ror is  fallen  upon  us,  and  that  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  faint 
because  of  you. 

10  For  we  have  heard  how  the 
Lord  ^dried  up  the  water  of  the 
'^Red  sea  for  you,  when  ye  came 
out  of  ^E'gypt;  and  what  ye  did 
unto  the  two  kings  of  the  'Am'- 
6r-Ites,  that  were  on  the  other 
side  Jor'dan,  "Si'hon  and  "Og, 
whom  ye  utterly  destroyed. 

11  And  as  soon  as  we  had  heard 
these  things,  "'our  hearts  did 
melt,  neither  did  there  remain 
any  more  courage  in  any  man, 
because  of  you:  for  the  Lord 
your  God,  he  is  ^God  in  heaven 
above,  and  in  earth  beneath. 

12  Now  therefore,  ^I  ^pray  you, 
"swear  unto  me  by  the  Lord, 
since  I  have  shewed  you  kind- 
ness, that  ye  will  also  shew 
kindness  unto  my  father's  house, 
and  give  me  a  true  ''token : 

13  And  that  ye  will  save  alive 
my  '^father,  and  my  ''mother,  and 
my  brethren,  and  my  sisters,  and 
all  that  they  have,  and  deliver 
our  lives  from  ''death. 

14  And  the  ''men  answered 
her,  ''Our  life  for  your's,  if  ye 

utter  not  this  our  business.  And 
it  shall  be,  when  the  Lord  hath 
given  us  the  land,  that  we  wull 
deal  kindly  and  truly  with  thee. 

15  Then  *she  let  ''them  down 
by  a  cord  through  the  ^window : 
for  her  house  was  upon  the  town 
''wall,  and  she  dwelt  upon  the 
wall. 

16  And  she  said  unto  them,  Get 
you  to  the  mountain,  lest  the 
pursuers  meet  you;  and  hide 
yourselves  there  three  days, 
until  the  pursuers  be  returned: 


and  afterward  may  ye  go  your 
way. 

17  And  the  men  said  unto  her, 
We  will  he  ^blameless  of  this 
thine  "oath  which  thou  hast 
made  us  swear. 

18  Behold,  xohen  we  come  into 
the  land,  thou  shalt  bind  this 
line  of  ^scarlet  thread  in  the 
^window  which  thou  didst  let  us 
down  by:  and  thou  shalt  bring 
thy  "^father,  and  thy  "^mother, 
and  thy  l^rethren,  and  all  thy 
'^father's  household,  home  un- 
to thee. 

19  ^And  it  shall  be,  that  whoso- 
ever shall  go  out  of  the  doors  of 
thy  house  into  the  street,  his 
blood  shall  he  upon  his  head,  and 
we  will  he  guiltless :  and  whoso- 
ever shall  be  with  thee  in  the 
house,  his  blood  shall  he  on  our 
head,  if  any  hand  be  upon 
him. 

20  And  if  thou  utter  this  our 
business,  then  we  will  be  kjiiit 
of  thine  "oath  which  thou  hast 
made  us  to  swear. 

21  And  she  said,  "According 
unto  your  words,  so  he  it.  And 
she  sent  them  away,  and  they 
departed:  and  she  bound  the 
''scarlet  line  in  the  Avindow. 

22  And  ^they  went,  and  came 
unto  the  mountain,  and  abode 
there  three  days,  until  the  pur- 
suers were  returned:  and  the 
pursuers  sought  them  through- 
out all  the  way,  but  found  them 
not. 

23  So  the  two  'men  returned, 
and  descended  from  the  moun- 
tain, and  passed  over,  and  came 
to  *  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and 
told  him  all  things  that  befell 
them : 

24  And  they  said  unto*J6sh'u-a, 
Truly  the  'Lord  hath  delivered 
into  our  hands  all  the  ^'land ;  for 
even  all  the  inhabitants  of  the 
country  do  faint  because  of  us.

CHAPTER  3 


The  Israelites  come  to  Jordan.  2  The  of- 
ficers instruct  them  how  they  are  to  pass 
over  ft.  7  The  Lord  encmirages  Joshua, 
i)  Joshua  encourages  the  people.  14  The 
waters  of  Jordan  are  divided. 

AND  "Josh'u-a  rose  early  in 
the  morning;  and  they  re- 
moved from  "Shit'tim,  and  came 
to  '■Jor'dan,  he  and  all  the  chil- 
dren of  ''Ls'ra-el,  and  lodged 
there  before  they  passed  over. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
three  days,  that  the  officers  went 
through  the  'host; 

3  And  they  commanded  the 
people,  saying.  When  ye  see  the 
''ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  the  ''priests  the 
Le'vites  bearing  it,  then  ye  shall 
remove  from  your  place,  and  go 
after  it. 

4  Yet  there  shall  be  a  space  be- 
tween you  and  it,  about  two 
thousand  ^cubits  by  measure: 
come  not  near  unto  it,  that  ye 
may  know  the  way  by  which  ye 
must  go :  for  ye  have  not  passed 
f.his  way  heretofore. 

5  And  "Josh'u-a  said  unto  the 
people,  ''Sanctify  yourselves :  for 
to  morrow  the  Lord  will  do 
wonders  among  you. 

6  And  '^  Josh'u-a  spake  unto  the 
^priests,  saying,  Take  up  the  *ark 
of  the  covenant,  and  pass  over 
before  the  people.  And  they  took 
up  the  ark  of  the  covenant,  and 
went  before  the  people. 

7  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
°  Josh'u-a,  This  day  will  I  begin 
to  magnify  thee  in  the  sight  of  all 
'^I.s'ra-el,  that  they  may  know 
that,  as  T  was  with  Mouses,  so  T 
will  ])e  with  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  command  the 
^priests  that  bear  the  '^ark  of  the 
covenant,  saving,  When  ye  are 
come  to  the  brink  of  the  water  of 
'^Jor'dan,  ye  shall  stand  still  in 
Jor'dan. 

9  Tl  And  "Josh'u-a  said  unto  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el,  Come  hith- 


er, and  hear  the  ^vords  of  the 
Lord  your  God. 

10  And  "Josh'u-a  said.  Hereby 
ye  shall  know  that  the  living 
God  'is  among  you,  and  that  he 
will  without  fail  tlrive  out  from 
before  you  the  ''^Ca'naan-ites, 
and  the  'Hit'tltes,  and  the  '"Hf- 
vites,  and  the  "Per'iz-zTtes,  and 
the  ''Glr'ga-shltes,  and  the  ^Am'- 
6r-ites,  and  the  ''Jeb'u-sltes. 

1 1  Behold,  the  ''ark  of  the  cove- 
nant of  the  ''Lord  of  all  the 
earth  passeth  over  before  you 
into  ^Jor'dan. 

12  Now  therefore  take  you 
twelve  men  out  of  the  tribes  of 
T.s'ra-el,  out  of  every  tribe  a 
man. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  the  soles  of  the  feet  of  the 
'priests  that  bear  the  ''ark  of  the 
LoRD,the''LoRDof  all  the  earth, 
shall  rest  in  the  waters  of  '^Jor'- 
dan, that  the  waters  of  Jor'dan 
shall  be  cut  off  "^from  the  waters 
that  come  down  from  above ;  and 
they  shall  stand  upon  an  heap. 

14  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  ''people  removed  from  their 
tents,  to  pass  over  '^Jor'dan,  and 
the  'priests  bearing  the  '^ark  of 
the  covenant  before  the  people; 

15  And  as  they  that  bare  the 
*ark  were  come  unto  "^Jor'dan, 
and  the  feet  of  the  'priests  that 
bare  the  ark  were  dipped  in  the 
brim  of  the  water,  (for  Jor'dan 
overfioweth  all  his  banks  all  the 
time  of  harvest,) 

]  6  That  the  waters  which  came 
down  from  above  'stood  and  rose 
up  upon  an  heap  very  far  from 
the  city  Ad'am,  that  is  beside 
"Zar'e-tiin :  and  those  that  came 
down  toward  the  ''sea  of  the 
•''plain,  even  the  salt  sea,  failed, 
and  were  cut  off:  and  the  people 
passed  over  right  against  "'Jer'- 
i-chf).

Lord  'stood  firm  on  dry  ground 
in  the  midst  of  Jor'dan,  and  all 
the  '^Ls'ra-el-ites  passed  over  on 
dry  ground,  until  all  the  people 
were  passed  clean  over  Jor'dan. 

CHAPTER  4 

Twelve  men  are  appointed  to  take  twelve 
stones  for  a  memorial  out  of  Jordan.  9 
Twelve  other  stones  are  set  up  in  the 
midst  of  Jordan.  10  The  people  pass 
over.  14  God  magnifies  Joshua.  20 
The  twelve  stones  are  pitched  in  Gilgal. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  the  "people  were  clean 
passed  over  ''Jor'dan,  that  the 
Lord  '^spake  unto  '^Josh'u-a, 
saying, 

2  Take  you  twelve  men  out  of 
the  people,  out  of  every  tribe  a 
man, 

3  And  command  ye  them,  say- 
ing, Take  you  hence  out  of  the 
midst  of  ''Jor'dan,  out  of  the 
place  where  the  priests'  feet 
stood  firm,  twelve  ^stones,  and 
ye  shall  carry  them  over  with 
you,  and  leave  them  in  the  lodg- 
ing place,  where  ye  shall  lodge 
this  night. 

4  Then  ''Josh'u-a  called  the 
twelve  men,  whom  he  had  pre- 
pared of  the  children  of  "Is'ra-el, 
out  of  every  tribe  a  man: 

5  x\nd  ''Jos  h'u-a  said  unto 
them,  Pass  over  before  the  'ark 
of  the  Lord  your  God  into  the 
midst  of  ''Jor'dan,  and  take  you 
up  every  man  of  you  a  *stone 
upon  his  shoulder,  according 
unto  the  number  of  the  tribes 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el: 

6  That  this  may  be  a  ^'sign 
among  you,  that  when  your  chil- 
dren ask  their  fathers  in  time  to 
come,  saying.  What  mean  ye  by 
these  '^stones  ? 

7  Then  ye  shall  ''answer  thein, 
That  the  waters  of  ''Jor'dan  were 
cut  off  before  the  ''ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord;  when  it 
passed  over  Jor'dan,  the  waters 
of  Jor'dan  were  cut  off':  and 
these  stones  shall  be  for  a  *me- 


morial  unto  the  children  of  "I.s'- 
ra-el  for  ever. 

8  And  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el 
did  so  as  ''Josh'u-a  commanded, 
and  took  up  twelve  ^stones  out  of 
the  midst  of  ''Jor'dan,  as  the 
Lord  '^spake  unto  Josh'u-a, 
according  to  the  number  of  the 
tribes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  carried  them  over  with 
them  unto  the  place  where 
they  lodged,  and  laid  them  down 
there. 

9  And  Josh'u-a  set  up  twelve 
'stones  in  the  midst  of  ''Jor'dan, 
in  the  place  where  the  feet  of  the 
^"priests  which  bare  the  ''ark  of 
the  covenant  stood :  and  they  are 
there  unto  this  day. 

10  Tl  For  the  ^priests  which 
bare  the  ''ark  stood  in  the  midst 
of  ''Jor'dan,  until  everything  was 
finished  that  the  Lord  ''com- 
manded ''Josh'u-a  to  speak  unto 
the  people,  according  to  all  that 
'Mo'se.5  commanded  Josh'u-a : 
and  the  people  hasted  and 
passed  over. 

11  A.nd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  the  people  were  clean  passed 
over,  that  the  'ark  of  the  Lord 
passed  over,  and  the  ^priests,  in 
the  presence  of  the  people. 

12  And  the  '"children  of  Reu'- 
ben,  and  the  children  of  "Gad, 
and  half  the  tribe  of  "Ma-nas'- 
seh,  passed  over  armed  before 
the  children  of  "Ls'ra-el,  as  Mo'- 
.ses  spake  unto  them : 

13  About  ^forty  thousand  pre- 
pared for  war  passed  over  before 
the  Lord  unto  battle,  to  the 
plains  of  *Jer'i-ch6. 

14  Tl  On  that  day  the  Lord 
magnified  ''Josh'u-a  in  the  sight 
of  all  Is'ra-el;  and  they  feared 
him,  as  they  feared  Mo'ses,  all 
the  days  of  his  life. 

15  1  And  the  Lord  "spake 
unto  '^Josh'u-a,  saying, 

16  Command  the  ^priests  that 
bear  the  'ark  of  the  testimony.

tliat  they  come  up  out  of  "Jor'-

17  '^Josh'u-ii  therefore  com- 
manded the  ^priests,  saying, 
Come  ye  up  out  of  "Jor'dan. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  priests  that  bare  the  'ark  of 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  were 
come  up  out  of  the  midst  of  Jor'- 
dan,  and  the  soles  of  the  priests' 
feet  were  lifted  up  unto  the  dry 
land,  that  the  waters  of  Jor'dan 
''returned  unto  their  place,  and 
flowed  over  all  his  banks,  as  ihcij 
did  before. 

19  t  -^"d  the  "people  came  up 
out  of  ^Jor'dan  on  the  tenth  day 
of  the  ^first  'month,  and  en- 
camped in  *Gil'gal,  in  the  east 
border  of  *Jer'i-cho. 

20  And  those  twelve  ^stones, 
which  they  took  out  of  ^Jor'- 
dan, did  '^Josh'u-a  pitch  in 
*GTl'gal. 

21  And  he  spake  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  When 
your  children  shall  ask  their 
fathers  in  time  to  come, 
saying.  What  memi  these 
^stones  ? 

22  Then  ye  shall  ''let  your 
children  know,  saying,  "Is'ra-el 
came  over  this  ^Jor'dan  on  dry 
land. 

28  For  the  "Lord  your  God 
'dried  up  the  waters  of  Mor'dan 
from  before  you,  until  ye  were 
passed  over,  as  the  Lord  your 
God  did  to  the  "'Red  sea,  which 
he  "dried  up  from  before  us, 
until  we  were  gone  over: 

24  "That  all  the  people  of  the 
earth  might  know  the  *hand  of 
the  T>ouD,  that  it  i.s  mighty:  that 
ye  might  ^fear  the  T^ord  your 
God  for  ever. 


CHAPTER  5 


The  Canaanlte.1  are  afraid.  2  Joshua  re- 
news circumcision.  10  The  passover  is 
kept  at  Gilgal.  12  The  manna  ceases. 
13  An  angel  appears  to  Joshua. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  the  kings  of  the  °Am'- 
6r-Ites,  which  were  on  the  side  of 
''Jor'dan  westward,  and  all  the 
kings  of  the  '^Ca'naan-Ites,  which 
were  by  the  sea,  heard  that  the 
''Lord  had  dried  up  the  waters 
of  Jor'dan  from  before  the  chil- 
dren of  T,s'ra-el,  until  we  were 
passed  over,  'that  ''their  heart 
melted,  neither  was  there  spirit 
in  them  any  more,  because  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  ^  At  that  time  the  Lord  said 
unto  ''Josh'u-a,  Make  thee 
'sharp  knives,  and  circumcise 
again  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  the 
second  time. 

3  And  ''Josh'u-a  made  him 
'sharp  knives,  and  'circumcised 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  at  the 
hill  of  the  foreskins. 

4  And  this  is  the  cause  why 
Josh'u-u  did  Vircuinci.se:  All  the 
people  that  came  out  of  ^E'gypt, 
ihat  were  males,  even  all  the  men 
of  war,  ^died  in  the  wilderness 
by  the  way,  after  they  came  out 
of  E'gypt. 

5  Now  all  the  people  that  came 
out  were  ^circumcised :  but  all 
the  people  that  were  l)orn  in  the 
wilderness  by  the  way  as  they 
came  forth  out  of  E'gypt,  them 
they  had  not  circumcised, 

6  For  the  children  of  *Is'ra-cl 
walked  'forty  years  in  the  wilder- 
ness, till  all  the  peoi)le  that  iverc 
men  of  war,  which  came  out 
of  'E'gypt,  were  consumed,  be- 
cause they  '"obeyed  not  the  voice 
of  the  Lord:  unto  whom  the

Lord  sware  that  he  would  not 
shew  them  the  "land,  which  the 
Lord  "sware  unto  their  fathers 
that  he  would  give  us,  a  land 
that  floweth  with  milk  and 
honey. 

7  And  their  children,  wliom  he 
raised  up  in  their  stead,  them 
''Josh'u-a  'circumcised:  for  they 
were  uncircumcised,  because 
they  had  not  circumcised  them 
by  the  way. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  done  Vircumcising  all 
the  people,  that  they  abode  in 
their  places  in  the  camp,  till  they 
were  whole. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
'^Josh'u-a,  This  day  have  I  rolled 
away  the  reproach  of  ^E'gypt 
from  off  you.  Wherefore  the 
name  of  the  place  is  called 
^Gil'gal  unto  this  day. 

10  \  And  the  children  of  ^^Ls'- 
ra-el  encamped  in  ^Gil'gal,  and 
kept  the  'passover  on  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  month  at  even 
in  the  plains  of  ''Jer'i-cho. 

11  And  they  did  eat  of  the  old 
*corn  of  the  land  on  the  morrow 
after  the  ^passover,  unleavened 
cakes,  and  parched  corn  \n  the 
selfsame  day. 

12  \  And  the  'manna  ceased  on 
the  morrow  after  they  had  eaten 
of  the  old  *corn  of  the  land;  nei- 
ther had  the  children  of  '^Ls'ra-el 
manna  anj^  more;  Imt  they  did 
eat  of  the  fruit  of  the  land  of 
"Ca'naan  that  year. 

13  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'' Josh'u-a  was  by  ''Jcr'i-cho,  that 
he  lifted  up  his  eyes  and  looked, 


and,  behold,  "there  stood  a  "man 
over  against  him  with  his  '"sword 
drawn  in  his  hand :  and  Josh'u-a 
went  unto  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  Art  thou  for  us,  or  for  our 
adversaries  ? 

14  And  '^'he  said.  Nay;  but  as 
captain  of  the  host  of  the  Lord 
am  I  now  come.  And  ''Josh'u-a 
fell  on  his  face  to  the  earth,  and 
did  worship,  and  said  unto  him, 
What  saith  my  lord  unto  his 
servant  ? 

15  And  the  ''captain  of  the 
Lord's  host  said  unto  Josh'u-a, 
^Loose  thy  shoe  from  off  thy 
foot;  for  the  place  whereon  thou 
standest  is  holy.  And  Josh'u-a 
did  so. 

CHAPTER  6 

Jericho  is  shut  up.  2  God  instructs  Joshua 
how  to  besiege  it.  12  The  cltii  is  com- 
passed seven  dans.  20  The  walls  fall  down. 
21  All  that  are  in  the  city  destroi/cd.  22 
Only  Rahab  and  Iter  family  are  saved. 
26    The  rebullder  of  Jericho  is  cursed. 

■lyrOW  "Jer'i-cho  was  straitly 
-LI  shut  up  because  of  the 
children  of  ''Is'ra-el:  none  went 
out,  and  none  came  in. 

2  i\.nd  the  Lord  said  unto 
'^Josh'u-a,  See,  I  have  given  into 
thine  hand  "Jcr'i-cho,  and  the 
king  thereof,  and  the  mighty 
men  of  valour. 

3  And  ye  shall  "^compass  the 
city,  all  ye  *men  of  war,  and  go 
round  about  the  city  once.  Thus 
shalt  thou  do  six  days. 

4  And  ''seven  ''priests  shall  bear 
before  the  ark  seven  ^trumpets 
of  rams'  horns:  and  the  ''seventh 
day  ye  shall  compass  the  city 
seven  times,  and  the  priests  shall 
blow  with  the  trumpets.

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
when  they  make  a  long  blast  with 
the  ram's  horn,  and  when  ye 
hear  the  sound  of  the  *trumpet, 
all  the  people  shall  shout  with  a 
creat  shout;  and  the  'wall  of  the 
city  shall  fall  down  flat,  and  the 
people  shall  ascend  up  every 
man  straight  before  him. 

6  T[  And  ''Josh'u-a  the  son  of 
Xiin  called  the  ''priests,  and  said 
unto  them,  Take  up  the  ^'  *ark  of 
the  covenant,  and  let  'seven 
priests  bear  seven  *trumpcts  of 
rams'  horns  before  the  ark  of  the 
Lord. 

7  And  Mie  said  unto  the  people. 
Pass  on,  and  compass  the  city, 
and  let  him  that  is  armed  pass 
on  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord, 

8  T[  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'^Josh'u-a  had  spoken  unto  the 
"people,  that  the  'seven  "priests 
bearing  the  seven  *trumpets  of 
rams'  horns  passed  on  before  the 
Lord,  and  blew  with  the  trump- 
ets: and  the  ^ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  followed  them. 

9  And  the  *armed  men  went  be- 
fore the  ''priests  that  blew  with 
the  *trumpets,  and  the  rereward 
came  after  the  ark,  fJic  priests  go- 
ing on,  and  blowing  with  the 
trumpets. 

10  And  "^Josh'u-a  had  com- 
manded the  people,  saying.  Ye 
shall  not  shout,  nor  make  any 
noise  with  your  voice,  neither 
shall  cniij  word  proceed  out  of 
your  mouth,  until  the  day  I  bid 
you  shout;  then  shall  ye  shout. 

11  So  the  'ark  of  the  Lord 
compassed  the  city,  going  about 
it  once:  and  they  came  into  the 
camp,  and  lodged  in  the  camp. 

12  ^  And  '^Josh'u-a  'rose  early 
in  the  morning,  and  the  "priests 
took  up  the  *ark  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  'seven  "priests  bearing 
seven  *trumpets  of  rams'  horns 
before  the  '-^ark  of  the  Lord 
went  on  continually,  and  blew 


with  the  *trumpets:  and  the 
^armed  men  went  before  them; 
but  the  rereward  came  after  the 
ark  of  the  Lord,  the  priests  go- 
ing on,  and  blowing  with  the 
trumpets. 

14  And  the  second  day  they 
compassed  the  city  once,  and  re- 
turned into  the  camp:  so  they 
did  six  days. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  "they  'rose 
early  about  the  dawning  of  the 
day,  and  compjissed  the  "city 
after  the  same  manner  'seven 
times:  only  on  that  day  thay 
compassed  the  city  seven  times. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
seventh  time,  when  the  "priests 
blew  with  the  ^trumpets,  Josh'- 
u-a  said  unto  the  people,  '"Shout ; 
for  the  Lord  hath  given  you  the 
city. 

17  And  the  city  shall  be  "ac- 
cursed, even  it,  and  all  that  are 
therein,  to  the  Lord:  only  "Ra'- 
hab  the  ''harlot  shall  live,  she 
and  all  that  are  with  her  in  the 
house,  because  she  ^^hid  the 
messengers  that  we  sent. 

18  And  ye,  in  any  wise  keep 
ijourselves  from  the  ^accursed 
thing,  lest  '*ye  make  yourselves 
accursed,  ^when  ye  take  of  the 
accursed  thing,  and  make  the 
camp  of  Ls'ra-el  %  curse,  and 
trouble  it. 

19  But  *all  the  silver,  and  gold, 
and  vessels  of  brass  and  iron, 
^are  consecrated  unto  the  Lord: 
they  shall  come  into  the  ''treas- 
ury of  the  Lord. 

20  So  the  people  '"shouted 
when  the  '^priests  blew  with  the 
*trumpcts:  and  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  people  heard  the  sound 
of  the  trumpet,  and  the  people 
shouted  with  a  great  shout,  that 
the  'wall  'fell  down  flat,  so  that 
the  people  went  up  into  the  city, 
every  man  straight  before  him, 
and  they  took  the  city.

all  that  was  in  the  city,  both  man 
and  woman,  young  and  old,  and 
ox,  and  sheep,  and  ass,  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword. 

22  But  "Josh'u-a  had  said  unto 
the  two  ^men  that  had  spied 
out  the  country,  Go  into  the 
"■"harlot's  house,  and  bring 
out  thence  the  woman,  and 
all  that  she  hath,  as  ye  "'sware 
unto  her. 

23  And  the  young  men  that 
were  ^spies  went  in,  and  brought 
out  '^Ra'hab,  and  her  father,  and 
her  mother,  and  her  brethren, 
and  all  that  she  had;  and  they 
brought  out  all  her  kindred,  and 
left  them  without  the  camp  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

24  And  they  burnt  the  city  with 
fire,  and  all  that  was  therein: 
only  'the  silver,  and  the  gold, 
and  the  vessels  of  brass  and  of 
•^iron,  they  put  into  the  '^treas- 
ury of  the  ^'^house  of  the 
Loud. 

25  And  "Josh'u-a  "saved  ^Ra'- 
hab  the  harlot  alive,  and  her  fa- 
ther's household,  and  all  that  she 
had:  and  she  dwelleth  in  ''Is'- 
ra-el  cvc7i  unto  this  day;  because 
she  hid  the  ^messengers,  which 
Josh'u-a  sent  to  spy  out  ^Jer'- 
i-cho. 

26  T[  And  M6sh'u-:\  Adjured 
flicni  at  that  time,  saying.  Cursed 
be  the  ^man  before  the  Lord, 
that  riseth  up  and  buildeth  this 
city  *Jer'i-cho:  ''•^he  shall  lay 
the  foundation  thereof  in  his 
firstborn,  and  in  his  youngest 
son  shall  he  set  up  the  ''gates 
of  it. 

27  So  the  Lord  was  with 
°J6sh'u-a;  and  his  fame  was 
noised  throughout  all  the  coun- 
try. 


CHAPTER  7 


Achan's  trespass.  2  The  Israelites  are 
smitten  at  At.  6  Joshua's  complaint. 
10  God  instructs  him  what  to  do.  16 
Achan  is  taken  by  lot.  19  His  confes- 
sion. 22  He  and  all  he  had  are  destroyed 
in  the  valley  of  Achor. 

BUT  the  children  of  "Ls'ra-el 
committed  a  trespass  in 
the  ^'"accursed  thing:  for 
''A'chan,  the  son  of  '^Car'ml,  the 
son  of  Zab'di,  the  son  of  Ze'rah, 
of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah,  took  of  the 
^accursed  thing:  and  the  '^anger 
of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  ^Josh'u-a  sent  men  from 
^Jer'i-cho  to  *A%  which  is  be- 
side ''Beth-a'ven,  on  the  east 
side  of  'Beth'-el,  and  spake  unto 
them,  saying.  Go  up  and  view 
the  country.  And  the  men  went 
up  and  ^viewed  A'l. 

3  And  they  returned  to  ''Josh'- 
u-a,  and  said  unto  him.  Let  not 
all  the  people  go  up;  but  let 
about  two  or  three  thousand 
men  go  up  and  smite  *A'i;  and 
make  not  all  the  people  to  labour 
thither;  for  they  are  but  few. 

4  So  there  went  up  thither  of 
the  people  about  three  thousand 
men:  and  they  ^fled  before  the 
men  of  *x\'I. 

5  And  the  men  of  *A'i  smote  of 
them  about  thirty  and  six  men: 
for  they  chased  them  from  be- 
fore the  gate  even  unto  Sheb'a- 
rim,  and  smote  them  in  the  going 
down:  wherefore  ^the  hearts  of 
the  people  melted,  and  became 
as  water. 

6  T[  And  ''■^Josh'u-a  rent  his 
clothes,  and  fell  to  the  earth  up- 
on his  face  before  the  '"ark  of  the 
Lord  until  the  eventide,  he  and 
the  "^elders  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  "put 
dust  upon  their  heads. 

7  And  ''Josh'u-a  ^'*said,  Alas, 
O   Lord   God,   wherefore   hast

thou  at  all  brought  this  "people 
over  ''Jor'dan,  to  deliver  us  into 
the  hand  of  the  *Ain'6r-Ites,  to 
destroy  us  ?  would  'to  God  we 
had  been  content,  and  dwelt  on 
the  other  side  Jor'dan! 

8  *''«0  Lord,  what  shall  I  say, 
when  I.s'ra-el  tunieth  their  backs 
before  their  enemies! 

9  'For  the  "Ca'naan-ites  and  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  shall 
hear  of  it,  and  shall  environ  us 
round,  and  cut  oft"  our  name 
from  the  earth:  and  what  wilt 
thou  do  ^unto  thy  great  name  ? 

10  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
''J6sh''u-a,  "Get  thee  up;  "'where- 
fore liest  thou  thus  upon  thy 
face? 

11  Ls'ra-el  hath  ^sinned,  and 
they  have  also  transgressed  my 
covenant  which  I  commanded 
them :  for  they  have  even  ^^taken 
of  the  ^•''accursed  thing,  and 
have  also  ^stolen,  and  Missem- 
bled  also,  and  they  have  put  if 
even  among  their  own  stuft'. 

12  Therefore  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el  could  not  stand  before 
their  enemies,  but  turned  ilicir 
backs  before  their  enemies,  be- 
cau.se  they  were  accursed:  "nei- 
ther will  I  be  with  you  any  more, 
except  ye  destroy  the  ^' ^accursed 
from  among  you. 

13  Up,  sanctify  the  people,  and 
say,  '■•''Sanctify  yourselves 
against  to  morrow:  for  thus  saith 
the  ly  o  R  D  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
^There  is  an  ''accursed  tiling  in 
the  midst  of  thee,  O  Ls'ra-el: 
thou  canst  not  stand  before  thine 
enemies,  until  ye  take  away  tlie 
^accursed  thing  from  among 
you. 

14  Li  the  morning  therefore  ye 
shall  be  brought  ^according  to 
your  tribes:  and  it  shall  be,  that 


the  tribe  which  the  Lord  taketh 
shall  come  'according  to  the 
families  thereof;  and  the  family 
which  the  Lord  shall  take  shall 
come  by  households;  and  the 
household  which  the  Lord  shall 
take  shall  come  man  by  man. 

15  And  it  shall  be,  tJtat  he  that 
is  taken  with  the  ''•''accursed 
thing  shall  be  *burnt  with  fire,  he 
and  all  that  he  hath :  because  he 
hath  ''trangressed  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord,  and  because  he 
hath  wrouglit  folly  in  Ls'ra-el. 

16  ^  So  ^Josh'u-a  '^rose  up 
early  in  the  morning,  and 
brought  Ls'ra-el  by  their  tribes; 
and  the  tribe  of  ^Ju'dah  was 
taken : 

17  And  he  brought  the  family 
ot  'Ju'dah;  and  he  took  the  fam- 
ily of  the  Zar'hites:  and  he 
brought  the  family  of  the  Ziir'- 
hltes  man  by  man;  and  Z3,b'dl 
was  taken: 

18  And  he  brought  his  house- 
hold man  by  man;  and  'A'chdn, 
the  son  of  ^Car'ml,  the  son  of 
Zab'dl,  the  son  of  Ze'rah,  of  the 
tribe  of  'Ju'dah,  was  taken. 

19  And  ^Josh'u-a  said  unto 
^A'chan,  My  son,  give,  I  pray 
thee,  glory  to  the  Lord  God  of 
Ls'ra-el,  and  make  confession 
unto  him ;  and  tell  me  now  what 
thou  hast  done;  hide  it  not  from 
me. 

20  And  ^A'chan  answered 
''Josh'u-a,  and  said,  ^■'■'"•Hn-

22  So  ''Josh'u-a  sent  messen- 
gers, and  they  ran  unto  the  tent ; 
and,  behold,  it  was  hid  in  his 
tent,  and  the  silver  under  it. 

23  And  they  took  them  out  of

brought  them  unto  ^Josh'u-a, 
and  unto  all  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  and  laid  them  out  before 
the  Lord. 

24  And  "Josh'u-a,  and  all  Is'-

Lord  shall  trouble  thee  this

stoned  them  with  stones. 

26  And  they  raised  over  him  a

Wherefore  the  name  of  that

*AMBUSH.     At  Ai.  Josh.  8-2-22 


2  And  thou  shalt  do  to  '^A'l  and 
her  king  as  thou  didst  unto  ^  Jer'- 
i-cho  and  her  king:  only  the 
^spoil  thereof,  and  the  cattle 
thereof,  shall  ye  take  for  a  prey 
unto   yourselves:    ''lay   thee   an 

•'ambush  for  the  city  behind  it. 

3  ^  So  ''Josh'u-a  arose,  and  all 
the  ''people  of  war,  to  go  up 
against  '^A'l:  and  Josh'u-a  chose 
out  thirty  thousand  mighty  men 
of  valour,  and  'sent  them  away 
by  night. 

4  And  he  commanded  them, 
saying,  Behold,  ''ye  shall  'lie  in 

wait  against  the  '^city,  even  be- 
hind the  city:  go  not  very  far 
from  the  city,  but  be  ye  all 
ready : 

5  And  I,  and  all  the  people  that 
are  with  me,  will  approach  un- 
to the  '^city:  and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  when  they  come  out 
against  us,  as  at  the  first,  that 
'we  will  flee  before  them, 

6  (For  they  will  come  out  after 
us)  till  we  have  drawn  them 
from  the  city;  for  they  will  say. 
They  flee  before  us,  as  at  the 
first:  therefore  *we  will  flee  be- 
fore them. 

7  Then  ye  shall  rise  up  from  the 
ambush,   and   seize    upon    the 

city:  for  the  Lord  your  God 
will  "^deliver  it  into  your  hand. 

8  And  it  shall  be,  when  ye  have 
taken  the  city,  that  ye  shall  set 
the  city  on  fire :  'according  to  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord 
shall  ye  do.  See,  I  have  com- 
manded you. 

9  " J6sh'u-a  therefore  sent  them 
forth:  and  they  went  to  ^lie  in 

ambush,  and  abode  between 
^Bcth'-el  and  '^A'l,  on  the  west 
side  of  A'l:  but  Josh'u-a  lodged 
that  night  among  the  people. 

10  And  "Josh'u-a  rose  up  early

the  '"elders  of  Ls'ra-el,  before  the 
people  to  '^A'l. 

11  And  all  the  people,  even  the 
''people  of  war  that  were  with 
him,  went  up,  and  drew  nigh, 
and  eanie  before  the  city,  and 
pitched  on  the  north  side  of  "^A'T : 
now  there  was  a  valley  between 
them  and  A'l. 

12  And  he  took  about  five  thou- 
sand men,  and  set  them  to  *lie  in 
*ambush  between  ^Beth'-el  and 
A'l,  on  the  west  side  of  the  city. 

13  And  when  they  had  set  the 
people,  even  all  the  ''host  that 
was  on  the  north  of  the  city,  and 
their  liers  in  wait  on  the  west  of 
the  city, "  Josh'u-a  went  that  night 
into  the  midst  of  the  valley. 

14  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  of  "^A'l  saw  it,  that  they 
hasted  and  rose  up  early,  and  the 
men  of  the  city  went  out  against 
"Ls'ra-el  to  battle,  he  and  all  his 
people,  at  a  time  appointed,  be- 
fore the  -plain;  but  he  wist  not 
that  there  were  liers  in  ambush 
against  him  behind  the  city. 

15  And  "J6sh'u-a  and  all  "I.s'- 
ra-el  '^made  as  if  they  were  beat- 
en before  them,  and  fled  by  the 
way  of  the  wilderness. 

16  And  all  the  people  that  tvere 
in  '^A'l  were  called  together  to 
pursue  after  thein :  and  they  pur- 
sued after  °J6sh'u-a,  and  were 
drawn  away  from  the  city. 

17  And  there  was  not  a  man 
left  in  ^\'I  or  ^Beth'-el,  that 
went  not  out  after  I.s'ra-el:  and 
they  left  the  city  open,  and  pur- 
sued after  "Ls'ra-el. 

18  And  the  Lord  ^said  unto 
J6sh'u-a,  Stretch  out  tlie  ^spear 
that  is  in  thy  hand  toward  '^A'l; 
for  I  will  give  it  into  thine  hand. 
And  Josh'u-;i  "stretched  out  the 
^spear  that  he  had  in  his  hand 
toward  the  city. 

19  And  the  ambush  arose 
quickly  out  of  their  place,  and 
they   ran    as    soon    as    he    had 


stretched  out  his  hand :  and  they 
entered  into  the  city,  and  took  it, 
and  hasted  and  set  the  city  on 
fire. 

20  And  when  the  men  of  "^A'l 
looked  behind  them,  they  saw, 
and,  behold,  the  smoke  of  the 
city  ascended  up  to  heaven,  and 
they  had  no  power  to  flee  this 
way  or  that  way :  and  the  people 
that  fled  to  the  wilderness  turned 
back  vipon  the  pursuers. 

21  And  when  "Josh'u-a  and  all 
"I.s'ra-el  saw  that  the  *ambush 
had  taken  the  city,  and  that  the 
smoke  of  the  city  ascended,  then 
they  turned  again,  and  slew  the 
men  of  '^A'l. 

22  And  the  other  issued  out  of 
the  city  against  them;  so  they 
were  in  the  midst  of  "Ls'ra-el, 
some  on  this  side,  and  some  on 
that  side:  and  they  smote  them, 
so  that  they  let  none  of  them  re- 
main or  escape. 

23  And  the  king  of  '^A'l  they 
took  alive,  and  brought  him  to 
"Josh'u-a. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"Ls'ra-el  had  made  an  end  of 
^■'slaying  all  the  inhabitants  of 
'^A'l  in  the  field,  in  the  wilder- 
ness wherein  they  chased  them, 
and  when  they  were  all  fallen  on 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  until  they 
were  consumed,  that  all  the  Is'- 
ra-el-Ites  returned  unto  A'!,  and 
smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword. 

25  And  so  it  was,  that  all  that 
fell  that  day,  both  of  men  and 
women,  were  twelve  thousand, 
even  all  the  men  of  '^A'l. 

2G  For  "Jdsh'u-ii  drew  not  his 
hand  back,  w  herewith  he 
stretched  out  the  spear,  until  lie 
had  "'utterly  destroyed  all  the 
inhiibitants  of  '^A'l. 

27  Only  the  cattle  and  the 
"spoil  of  that  city  Ls'ra-el  took 
for  a  prey  unto  themselves,  ac- 
cordinir   unto   the   word   of   the

Lord    which    he  ^commanded 
Josh'u-a. 

28  And  '^Josh'u-a  burnt  '^A'l, 
and  made  it  an  heap  for  ever, 
even  a  desolation  unto  this 
day. 

29  And  the  king  of  '^A'l  he 
^■'■•^hanged  on  a  tree  until  even- 
tide: and  as  soon  as  the  sun 
was  down,  "Josh'u-a  commanded 
that  they  should  take  his  carcase 
down  from  the  tree,  and  'cast  it 
at  the  entering  of  the  gate  of  the 
city,  and  raise  thereon  a  great 
heap  of  stones,  that  remaineth 
unto  this  day. 

30  H  Then  Josh'u-a  built  an 
"altar  unto  the  Lord  God  of 
Ls'ra-el  in  mount  "E'bal, 

31  As  INIo'ses  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  commanded  the  children 
of  "'Ls'ra-el,  as  it  is  written  in  the 
book  of  the  ^-  Hslw  of  Mo'se.s,  an 
"altar  of  whole  stones,  over 
which  no  man  hath  life  up  ani/ 
iron:  and  they  offered  thereon 
^burnt  offerings  unto  the  Lord, 
and  sacrificed  "peace  offerings. 

32  And  he  wrote  there  upon  the 
stones  a  copy  of  the  "•''law  of 
Mo'.ses,  which  he  wrote  in  the 
presence  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el. 

33  And  all  Is'ra-el,  and  their 
''elders,  and  officers,  and  theii 
judges,  stood  on  this  side  the 
'^ark  and  on  that  side  before  the 
priests  the  ''Le'vites,  which  bare 
the  ark  of  tlie  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  as  well  the  "stranger,  as 
he  that  was  born  among  them; 
half  of  them  over  against  mount 
"Ger'i-zim,    and    half   of   them 


over  against  mount  '^E'bal;  as 
Mo'se.s  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
had  commanded  before,  that 
they  should  'bless  the  people  of 
Is'ra-el. 

34  And  afterward  he  ^Tead  all 
the  words  of  the  ''■  ''law,  the  bless- 
ings and  'cursings,  according  to 
all  that  is  written  in  the  book  of 
the  law. 

35  There  was  not  a  word  of  all 
that  Mo'ses  commanded,  which 
Josh'u-a  read  not  before  all  the 
^congregation  of  Ig'ra-el,  with 
the  '"women,  and  the  "'"Httle 
ones,  and  the  "strangers  that 
were  conversant  among  them.

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  the  kings  which  were 
on  this  side  "  Jor'dan,  in  the  hills, 
and  in  the  valleys,  and  in  all  the

heard  thereof; 

2  That  they  'gathered  them- 
selves together,  to  fight  with 
^Josh'u-a  and  with  Is'ra-el,  with 
one  accord. 

3  Tl  And  when  the  inhabitants 
of  'Gib'e-on  heard  what  '^'Josh'-

upon  their  feet,  and  old  gar- 
ments upon  them;  and  all  the 
''bread  of  their  provision  was 
dry  and  mouldy. 

6  And  they  went  to  *Josh'u-a 
unto  the  camp  at  "Girgal,  and 
^said  unto  him,  and  to  the  men 
of  I.s'ra-el,  We  be  come  from  a 
far  country:  now  therefore  make 
ye  a  -^league  with  us. 

7  And  the  men  of  I.s'ra-el  said 
unto  the ''Hi'vltes,  Peiadventure 
ye  dwell  among  us;  and  how 
shall  we  make  a  league  with  you  ? 

8  And  they  said  unto  ^  Josh'u-a, 
We  are  thy  servants.  And  Josh'- 
u-a  said  unto  them,  Who  are  ye  ? 
and  from  whence  come  ye  ? 

9  And  they  'said  unto  him, 
From  a  very  far  country  thy 
servants  are  come  because  of  the 
name  of  the  Lord  thy  God:  for 
we  have  heard  the  fame  of  him, 
and  all  that  he  did  in  "E'gypt, 

10  And  all  that  he  did  to  the 
two  kings  of  the  '^Am'or-ites, 
that  were  beyond  Jor'dan,  to 
'Si'hon  king  of  Plesh'bon,  and 
to  «'Og  king  of  Ba'shan,  which 
was  at  ^Ash'ta-roth. 

11  Wherefore  our  ^elders  and 
all  the  inhabitants  of  our  coun- 
try spake  to  us,  saying,  Take 
victuals  with  you  for  the  jour- 
ney, and  go  to  meet  them,  and 
say  unto  them,  Wc  are  your 
servants:  therefore  now  make 
ye  a  •^league  with  us. 

12  This  our  ''bread  we  took  hot 
jor  our  provision  out  of  our 
houses  on  the  day  we  came  forth 


to  go  unto  you;  but  now,  behold, 
it  is  dry,  and  it  is  mouldy: 

13  And  these  '•^'bottles  of  wine 
which  we  filled,  were  new;  and, 
behold,  they  be  rent:  and  these 
our  garments  antl  our  shoes  are 
become  old  by  reason  of  the  very 
long  journey. 

14  And  the  men  took  of  their 
victuals,  and  ^asked  not  coun- 
sel at  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

15  And  "Josh'u-a  made  peace 
with  them,  and  made  a  ^-  *leagu^ 
with  them,  to  let  them  live:  and 
the  '■princes  of  the  ''congrega- 
tion sware  unto  them. 

16  ^  x\nd  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  three  days  after  they  had 
made  a  ^-*league  with  them, 
that  they  heard  that  they  were 
their  neighbours,  and  that  they 
dwelt  among  them. 

17  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
journeyed,  and  came  unto  their 
cities  on  the  third  day.  Now 
their  cities  were  *Gib'e-on,  and 
^Che-phi'rah,  and  "Be-e'roth, 
and  ^KTr'jath-jc'a-rim. 

18  And  the  children  of  Ts'ra-el 
smote  them  not,  because  the 
'^princes  of  the  congregation  had 
''■'sworn  unto  them  hy  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el.  And  all  the  con- 
gregation murmured  against  the 
princes. 

19  But  all  the  ''princes  said  unto 
all  the  congregation.  We  have 
''■'sworn  unto  them  by  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el:  now  therefore 
we  may  not  touch  them. 

20  This  we  will  do  to  them;  we 
will  even  let  them  live,  lest 
^vrath  be  upon  us,  because  of  the 
'oatii  which  we  sware  unto  them.

21  And  the  '^princes  said  unto 
them,  Let  them  Uve;  but  let 
them  be  hewers  of  wood  and 
drawers  of  water  unto  all  the 
congregation ;  as  the  princes  had 
promised  them. 

22  T[  And  '^Josh'u-ix  called  for 
them,  and  he  spake  unto  them, 
saying,  Wherefore  have  ye  be- 
guiled us,  saying,  We  are  very 
far  from  you;  when  ye  dwell 
among  us  ? 

23  Now  therefore  ye  are  cursed, 
and  there  shall  ^none  of  you  be 
freed  from  being  bondmen,  and 
hewers  of  wood  and  drawers  of 
water  for  the  *^house  of  my  God. 

24  And  they  answered  "Josh'- 
u-a,  and  said.  Because  it  was 
certainly  told  thy  servants,  how 
that  the  Lord  thy  God  com- 
manded his  servant  Mo'.se-2  to 
give  you  all  the  land,  and  to  de- 
stroy all  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land  from  before  you,  therefore 
we  were  sore  afraid  of  our  lives 
because  of  you,  and  have  done 
this  thing. 

25  And  now,  behold,  we  are  in 
thine  hand ;  as  it  seemeth  good  and 
right  unto  thee  to  do  unto  us,  do. 

26  And  so  did  he  unto  them, 
and  delivered  them  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
that  they  slew  them  not. 

27  And  "Josh'u-a  made  them 
that  day  hewers  of  wood  and 
drawers  of  water  for  the  congre- 
gation, and  for  the  altar  of  the 
Lord,  even  unto  this  day,  in  the 
place  which  he  should  choose. 

CHAPTER  10 

Five  kings  war  against  GIbcon.  6  Joshua 
rescues  it.  10  God  flglits  against  them 
with  hailstones.  12  The  sun  and  moon 
stand  still  at  the  word  of  Joshua.  16 
The  five  kings  are  shut  up  in  a  cave.  2.'? 
Thev  are  brought  fortli,  24  scornfully  used, 
26  and  hanged.  28  Seven  other  kings  are 
conquered.     43  Joshua  returns  to  Gilgal. 

]VrOW  it  came  to  pass,  when 
-L^  A-d  o'n  I-z  e'd  e  c  king  of 
'^Je-ru'sa-lem    had    heard    how 


"Josh'u-a  had  taken  ^A'i,  and 
had  ''utterly  destroyed  it;  as  he 
had  done  to  ^Jer'i-ch5  and  her 
king,  so  he  had  done  to  A'i  and 
her  king;  and  how  the  inhabi- 
tants of  'Gib'e-on  had  made 
peace  with  I§'ra-el,  and  were 
among  them; 

2  That  they  feared  greatly, 
because  ^Gib'e-on  was  a  great 
''city,  as  one  of  the  royal  cities, 
and  because  it  was  greater  than 
''A'i,  and  all  the  men  thereof 
were  mighty. 

3  Wherefore  A-do'nI-ze'dec 
king  of  '^Je-rii'sa-lem  sent  unto 
Ho'ham  king  of  ''He'bron,  and 
unto  Pi'ram  king  of  ^Jiir'muth, 
and  unto  Ja-phl'a  king  of  *La'- 
chish,  and  unto  De'bir  king  of 
■Eg'lon,  saying, 

4  Come  up  unto  me,  and  help 
me,  that  we  may  smite  'Gib'e- 
on :  for  it  hath  made  peace  with 
''J5sh'u-a  and  with  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Therefore  the  five  kings  of  the 
*^Am'6r-Ites,  the  king  of  "Je-ru'- 
sa-lem,  the  king  of  ^He'bron,  the 
king  of  ^Jar'miith,  the  king  of 
*La'chish,  the  king  of  ^Eg'lon, 
gathered  themselves  together, 
and  went  up,  they  and  all 
their  'hosts,  and  encamped  be- 
fore 'Gib'e-on,  and  made  war 
against  it. 

6  t  And  the  men  of  ^Gib'e-on 
sent  unto  ''Josh'u-a  to  the  camp 
to  '"Girgal,  saying.  Slack  not  thy 
hand  from  thy  servants;  come 
up  to  us  quickly,  and  save  us, 
and  help  us:  for  all  the  kings 
of  the  *Am'6r-ites  that  dwell 
in  the  mountains  are  'gathered 
together  against  us. 

7  So  ''Josh'u-a  ascended  from 
'"Girgal,  he,  and  all  the  people 
of  war  with  him,  and  all  the 
mighty  men  of  valour.

"Josh'u-a,  Fear  them  not:  for 
"I  have  deUvered  them  into  thine 
hand;  there  shall  not  a  man  of 
them  stand  before  thee. 

9  Josh'u-a  therefore  ^came  un- 
to them  suddenly,  and  went  uj) 
from  '"Gil'gal  all  night. 

10  And  the  "Lord  discomfited 
them  before  Is'ra-el,  and  slew 
them  with  a  great  slaughter  at 
'Gib'e-on,  and  chased  them 
along  the  *way  that  goeth  up  to 
^Beth-ho'ron,  and  smote  them 
to  ^A-ze'kah,  and  unto  '^jMilk- 
ke'dah. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  ^they 
fled  from  before  Is'ra-el,  and 
were  in  the  going  down  to 
^Beth-ho'ron,  that  the  Lord 
*'cast  down  great  stones  from 
heaven  upon  them  unto  •'^A-ze'- 
kah,  and  they  died:  they  were 
more  which  died  with  "hail- 
stones than  theij  whom  the  chil- 
dren of  Ls'ra-el  slew  with  the 
sword. 

12  t  Then  spake  Mosh'u-a  to 
the  Lord  in  the  day  when  the 
Lord  delivered  up  the  ^Am'or- 
Ites  before  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el, and  he  said  in  the  sight 
of  Is'ra-el,  "'"Sun,  '^'stand  thou 
still  upon  'Gib'e-on;  and  thou, 
'Moon,  in  the  valley  of  ^Aj'a- 
lon. 

13  And  the  "•''sun  '"stood  still, 
and  the  ^moon  stayed,  until  the 
people  had  avenged  themselves 
upon  their  enemies.  Is  not  this 
written  in  the  "^book  of  Ma'sher  ? 
So  the  sun  .stood  still  in  the 
midst  of  heaven,  and  ha.sted  not 
to  go  down  about  a  whole  day. 

14  And  there  was  no  day  like 
that  before  it  or  after  it,  that  the 
"Lord  hearkened  unto  the  voice 


of  a  man:  for  the  Lord  "fought  1 
for  Is'ra-el. 

15  I  And  '^Josh'u-a  returned, 
and  all  ** Is'ra-el  with  him,  unto 
the  camp  to  ''Gil'gal. 

16  But  these  five  kings  ^fled, 
antl  hid  themselves  in  a  ''cave  at 
"Alak-ke'dah. 

17  And  it  was  told  '^Josh'u-a, 
saying,  The  five  kings  are  fountl 
hid  in  a  "cave  at  ''Mak-ke'dah. 

18  And  ''Josh'u-a  said,  Roll 
great  stones  upon  the  mouth  of 
the  "cave,  and  set  men  by  it  for 
to  keep  them : 

19  And  stay  ye  not,  hut  pursue 
after  your  enemies,  and  smite 
the  hindmost  of  them;  suffer 
them  not  to  enter  into  their 
cities:  for  the  "Lord  your  God 
hath  deUvered  them  into  your 
hand. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Mosh'u-a  and  the  children  of 
''Is'ra-el  had  made  an  end  of 
slaying  them  with  a  very  great 
slaughter,  till  they  were  con- 
sumed, that  the  rest  which  re- 
mained of  them  entered  into 
'fenced  cities. 

21  And  all  the  people  returned 
to  the  camp  to  ''Josh'u-a  at 
''Mak-ke'dah  in  peace:  none 
moved  his  tongue  against  any 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

22  Then  said  ''Josh'u-a,  Open 
the  mouth  of  the  "cave,  and 
bring  out  those  five  kings  unto 
me  out  of  the  cave. 

23  And  they  did  so,  and 
brought  forth  those  five  kings 
unto  him  out  of  the  cave,  the 
king  of  ^Te-rii'sfl-lcm,  the  king  of 
^He'bron,  the  king  of  'Jilr'niiith, 
the  king  of  *La'chish,  aiul  the

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  brought  out  those  kings  un- 
to '^  Josh'u-a,  that  Josh'u-a  called 
for  all  the  men  of  Is'r  a-e  1,  and 
said  unto  the  "captains  of  the 
men  of  war  which  went  with 
him,  Come  near,  put  your  feet 
upon  the  necks  of  these  kings. 
And  they  came  near,  and  put 
their  feet  upon  the  necks  of 
them. 

25  And  '^Josh'u-a  said  unto 
them,  "Fear  not,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed, be  strong  and  of  good 
"courage:  for  thus  shall  the 
Lord  do  to  all  your  enemies 
against  whom  ye  fight. 

26  And  afterward  ''J6sh'u-a 
smote  ^them,  and  slew  them, 
and  hanged  them  on  five  trees: 
and  they  were  hanging  upon 
the  trees  until  the  evening. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  of  the  going  down  of  the 
"sun,  that  Josh'u-a  commanded, 
and  they  took  them  down  off  the 
trees,  and  cast  them  into  the 
"■^cave  wherein  they  had  been 
hid,  and  laid  great  stones  in  the 
cave's  mouth,  which  remain  un- 
til this  very  day. 

28  1  And  that  day  *=  Josh'u-a 
took  ''j\Iak-ke'dah,  and  ''smote  it 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
the  king  thereof  he  *utterly  de- 
stroyed, them,  and  all  the  souls 
that  were  therein ;  he  let  none  re- 
main: and  he  did  to  the  king  of 
Mak-ke'dah  as  he  did  unto  the 
king  of  'Jer'i-cho. 

29  Then  ''Josh'u-a  passed  from 
^Mak-ke'dah,  and  all  '^Ls'ra-el 
with  him,  unto  ^Lib'nah,  and 
fought  against  I^ib'nah : 

30  And  the  Lord  ''delivered  it 
also,  and  the  king  thereof,  into 
the  hand  of  Is'ra-el;  and  he 
smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 


sword,  and  *all  the  souls  that 
were  therein ;  he  let  none  remain 
in  it;  but  did  unto  the  king  there- 
of as  he  did  unto  the  king  of 
'Jer'i-cho. 

31  T[  And  ''Josh'u-a  passed 
from  ^Lib'nah,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  unto  *La'chish,  and 
encamped  against  it,  and  fought 
against  it: 

32  And  the  Lord  "delivered 
La'chish  into  the  hand  of  ''Is'- 
ra-el, which  took  it  on  the  sec- 
ond day,  and  ''•^smote  it  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  all  the 
souls  that  were  therein,  accord- 
ing to  all  that  he  had  done  to 
Lib'nah. 

33  ^  Then  Ho'ram  king  of 
■•■Ge'zer  came  up  to  help  *La'- 
chish;  and  ''Josh'u-a  smote  him

39  And  'he  took  it,  and  the  king 
thereof,  and  all  the  cities  thereof; 
and  they  .smote  them  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  ''utterly

40  1  'So  Mosh'u-a  smote  all  the 
country  of  the  hills,  and  of  the 
south,  and  of  the  vale,  and  of  the 
^springs,  and  all  their  kings:  he 
left  none  remaining,  but  utterly 
destroyed  all  that  breathed,  as 
the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  com-

41  And  Josh'u-a  smote  them 
from  "'Ka'desh-bJir'ne-a  even 
unto  Ga'za,  and  all  the  country 
of  ^Go'shen,  even  unto  Gib'-

42  And  all  these  kings  and  their

time,  because  the  Lord  God  of 
Ls'ra-el  ''fought  for  Is'ra-el.

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ja'bin  king  of  *Ha'z6r 
had  heard  those  thmgs,  that  he 
sent  to  Jo'bab  king  of  ''Ma'don 
and  to  the  king  of  ''Shim'ron, 
and  to  the  king  of  ''Ach'shaph, 
2  And  to  the  kings  that  were  on 
the  north  of  the  mountains,  and 


of  the  'plains  south  of  '^Chin'ne- 
roth,  and  in  the  valley,  and  in 
the  ^borders  of  ^Dor  on  the 
west, 

3  And  io  the  '^Ca'naan-Ite  on 
the  east  and  on  the  west,  and  to 
the  '7Vm'6r-Ite,  and  the  ^Hit'tlte, 
and  the  '^Per'iz-zlte,  and  the 
'  Jeb'u-slte  in  the  mountains,  and 
to  the  'IlI'vite  under  Her'mon  in 
the  land  of  ^Nliz'peh. 

4  And  they  went  out,  they  and 
all  their  hosts  with  them,  nuich 
people,  even  as  the  sand  that  is 
upon  the  sea  shore  in  multitude, 
with  horses  and  ^chariots  very 
many, 

5  And  when  all  these  kings 
were  '''met  together,  they  came 
and  pitched  together  at  the  wa- 
ters of  Me'rom,  to  fight  against 
Ls'ra-el. 

6  T[  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
'Josh'u-a,  Be  not  afraid  because 
of  them:  for  to  morrow  about 
this  time  will  I  deliver  them  up 
all  slain  l)efore  ls'ra-el:  thou 
shalt  hough  their  '"horses,  and 
burn  their  ^chariots  with  fire. 

7  So  'Josh'u-a  came,  and  all  the 
people  of  war  with  him,  against 
them  by  the  waters  of  jNIe'rom 
suddenly;  and  they  fell  upon 
them. 

8  And  the  "Lord  delivered 
them  into  the  hand  of  Ls'ra-el, 
''who  smote  them,  and  chased 
them  unto  great  Zi'don,  and 
unto  ^Mts're-photh-ma'im,  and 
unto  the  valley  of  IMiz'peh  east- 
ward; and  they  smote  them,  un- 
til they  "left  them  none  remain-

houghed  their  '"horses,  and 
burnt  their  "chariots  with  fire. 
lot  And  '  Josh'u-a  at  that  time 
turned  back,  and  took  *Ha'z6r, 
and  smote  the  king  thereof  with 
the  sword :  for  Ha'zor  beforetime 
was  the  ^head  of  all  those  king- 
doms. 

11  And  "they  smote  all  the 
'^souls  that  tvere  therein  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  ^utterly  de- 
stroying them :  there  was  not  any 
left   to   breathe:   and   he   burnt 

Ha'zor  with  fire. 

12  And  all  the  cities  of  those 
kings,  and  all  the  kings  of  them, 
did  Josh'u-a  take,  and  smote 
them  with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
aiid  he  utterly  destroyed  them, 
as  'Mo'.se.s  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  commanded. 

13  But  as  for  the  cities  that 
stood  still  ^in  their  strength,  Ls'- 
ra-el  burned  none  of  them,  save 

Ha'zor  only;  that  did  Josh'u-a 
burn. 

14  And  all  the  "spoil  of  these 
cities,  and  the  cattle,  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  took  for  a  prey 
unto  themselves;  but  every  man 
they  smote  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword,  "until  they  had  de- 
stroyed them,  neither  left  they 
any  to  breathe. 

15  As  the  Lord  commanded 
'Mo'.se.s  his  servant,  so  did  Mo'- 
se.s  command  Josh'u-a,  and  so 
^'did  Josh'u-a;  he  left  nothing 
undone  of  all  that  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'.se.s. 

16  So  Josh'u-a  took  all  that 
land,  the  hills,  and  all  the  south 
country,  and  all  the  land  of 
""Go'shen,  and  the  valley,  and 
the  ^plain,  and  the  mountain  of 
Ls'ra-el,  and  the  valley  of  the 
same ; 

17  Eve7i  from  the  mount  ^Ha'- 


lak,  that  goeth  up  to  ^Se'ir,  even 
unto  ^Ba'al-gad  in  the  valley  of 
"Leb'a-non  under  mount' ''Her'- 
mon :  and  all  their  kings  he  took, 
and  '^smote  them,  and  slew  them. 

18  '^Josh'u-a  made  war  a  long 
time  with  all  those  kings. 

19  There  was  not  a  city  that 
made  peace  with  the  children  of 
I.§'ra-el,  save  the  ^Hi'vltes  the  in- 
habitants of  Gib'e-on:  all  other 
they  took  in  battle. 

20  For  'it  was  of  the  ^Lord  to 
harden  their  '^hearts,  that  they 
should  come  against  Ls'ra-el  in 
battle,  that  he  might  destroy 
them  utterly,  and  that  they 
might  have  no  favour,  but  that 
he  might  destroy  them,  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'.ses. 

21  t  And  at  that  time  came 
''Josh'u-a,  and  cut  off  the  *x\n'a- 
kim.s  from  the  mountains,  from 
'He'bron,  from  ''^De'bir,  from 
'A'nab,  and  from  all  the  moun- 
tains of  Ju'dah,  and  from  all  the 
mountains  of  Ls'ra-el:  Josh'u-a 
'^destro}'ed  them  utterly  with 
their  cities. 

22  There  was  none  of  the  *x\n'a- 
kim.s  left  in  the  land  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ls'ra-el:  only  in  '"Ga'za, 
in  "Gath,  and  in  "Ash'dod,  there 
remained. 

23  So  ''Josh'u-a  took  the  whole 
"land,  according  to  all  that  the 
Lord  said  unto  ^Mo'.se.s;  and 
J6sh'u-a  gave  it  for  an  inherit- 
ance unto  Ls'ra-el  according  to 
their  divisions  by  their  tribes. 
And  the  land  rested  from  '^war.

CHAPTER  13 

Much  land  yet  to  be  possess?d.  8  The  in- 
heritance of  the  two  tribes  and  a  half. 
14  The  inheritance  of  Levi  is  the  sacri- 
fices of  the  Lord.  15  The  inheritance  of 
Reuben.  22  Balaam  slain.  24  The  in- 
heritance of  Gad.  29  and  of  the  half  tribe 
of  Manasseh. 

NOW  '^JSsh'u-ii  was  "old  and 
stricken  in  years;  and  the 
Lord  said  ur.to  him,  Thou  art 
old  and  stricken  in  years,  and 
there  remaineth  yet  very  much 
land  to  be  possessed. 

2  This  is  the  land  that  yet  re- 
maineth: all  the  ^borders  of  the 
Thl-lis'tine.s,  and  all  '^Cesh'u-rl, 

3  From  *Si'h6r,  which  is  be- 
fore *E'gypt,  even  unto  the  bor- 
ders of  ''Ek'ron  northward, 
which  is  counted  to  the  ^Ca'- 
naan-Ito:  five  lords  of  the  '^Phi- 
lis'tine.s;  the  '^Ga'zath-ites,  and 
the  'Ash'doth-Ites,  the  'Esh'ka- 
lon-ites,  the  ''^(lit'tltes,  and  the 
Ek'ron-Ttes;  also  the  'A'vltes: 

4  From  the  south,  all  the  land 
of  the  ^Ca'naan-Ites,  and  INIe- 
a'rah  that  Hs  beside  the  '"Si- 
do'ni-ans,  unto  "A'phek,  to  the 
'oorders  of  the  "Am'or-Ites : 

5  And  the  ^land  of  the  Gib'- 
lltes,  and  all  *L6b'a-non,  toward 
the  sunrising,  from  ''Ba'al-gSd 
under  mount  *Her'mon  unto  the 
entering  into  'Hii'math. 

6  All  the  inhabitants  of  the  hill 
country  from  *I^eb'a-non  unto 
"]Mis're-ph6th-ma'im,  and  all 
the  "'Si-do'ni-an.s,  them  will  I 
drive  out  from  before  the  chil- 
dren of  '^Is'ra-el:  only  divide 
thou  it  by  lot  unto  the  Is'ra-el- 
ites  for  an  inheritance,  as  I  have 
commanded  thee. 

7  Now  therefore  divide  this 
land  for  an  inheritance  unto  the 
nine  tribes,  and  the  half  tribe  of 
""Ma-nas'seh, 


8  With  whom  the  'Reu'ben- 
Ites  and  the  ^GS.d'ites  have  re- 
ceived their  inheritance,  wliich 
^Mo'.se§  gave  them,  beyond "Jor'- 
dan  eastward, et^ew  as  Mo'.se.s  the 
servant  of  the  Lord  gave  them; 

9  From  ''Ar'6-er,  that  Hs  upon 
the  bank  of  the  river  ''Ar'non, 
and  the  city  that  Hs  in  the  midst 
of  the  river,  and  all  the  plain  of 
'^Med'e-ba  unto  «Di'b6n; 

10  And  all  the  cities  of  ^Si'hSn 
king  of  the  ''Am'or-ites,  which 
reigned  in  ''Hesh'bon,  unto  the 
border  of  the  'children  of  Am'- 
mon ; 

11  And  'Gil'e-ad,  and  the  bor- 
der of  the  ^Gesh'u-rites  and 
'Ma-ach'a-thites,  and  all  mount 
"'Her'mon,  and  all  "Ba'shan  un- 
to "Sarcah; 

12  All  the  kingdom  of  ^Og 
in  "Ba'shan,  which  reigned  in 
''Ash'ta-roth  and  in  ^Ed're-I, 
who  remained  of  the  remnant  of 
the  '^giants:  for  these  did  *M6'- 
.se.s  smite,  and  cast  them  out. 

13  Nevertheless  the  children  of 
Ts'ra-el  expelled  not  the  *Gesh'- 
u-rites,  nor  the  'Ma-S,ch'a-thltes : 
but  the  Gesh'u-rltes  and  the  Ma- 
S,ch'a-thites  dwell  among  the 
Is'ra-el-Ites  until  this  day. 

14  Only  unto  the  tribe  of  Le'vl 
he  gave  none  inheritance;  'the 
sacrifices  of  the  Lord  God  of 
Ls'ra-el  made  by  fire  are  their 
inheritance,  as  he  said  unto 
them. 

15  ^  And  *M5'se.s  gave  unto  the 
tribe  of  the  "children  of  Reu'- 
ben  inheritance  according  to 
their  families. 

16  And  their  '-  -^coast  was  from 
''Ar'6-er,  that  is  on  the  ^bank 
of  the  river  '^Ar'non,  and  the 
city  that  is  in  the  ^midst  of 
the  river,  and  all  the  plain  by 
"Aled'e-ba;

priest,  and  ''Josh'u-a  the  son  of 
Nun,  and  the  heads  of  the 
fathers  of  the  tribes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ls'ra-el,  distributed  for 
inheritance  to  them. 

2  By  ^lot  ivas  their  inheritance, 
as  the  Lord  commanded  by  the 
hand  of  %l6'ses,  for  the  nine 
tribes,  and  for  the  half  tribe. 

3  For  'Mouses  had  given  the  in- 
heritance of  two  tribes  and  an 
half  tribe  on  the  other  side  Jor'- 
dan :  but  unto  theLe'vIteshe  gave 
^none  inheritance  among  them. 

4  For  the  cliildren  of  ''Jo'.seph 
were  tAVo  tribes,  'I\Ia-nas'seh 
and  ^E'phra-im:  therefore  they 
gave  no  part  unto  the  Le'vltes  in 
the  land,  save  ^'^cities  to  dwell 
771,  with  their  'suburbs  for  their 
cattle  and  for  their  substance. 

5  As  the  Lord  commanded 
''Mo'.se.s,  so  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el  did,  and  they  divided  the 
land. 

6  T[  Then  the  children  of  "'Ju''- 
dah  came  unto  '^Josh'u-a  in 
"Gil'gal:  and  "Ca'leb  the  son  of 
Je-phun'neh  the  Ken'ez-Ite  said 
unto  him,  Thou  knowest  the 
thing  that  the  Lord  said  unto 
'Mo'.scs  the  man  of  God  con- 
cerning me  and  thee  in  ^Ka'- 
desh-bar'ne-a. 

7  Forty  }'ears  old  was  °1  when 
'Mo'.scs  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
sent  me  from  ^Ka'desli-bar'ne-a 
to  espy  out  the  land;  and  I 
brought  him  word  again  as  it 
was  in  mine  heart. 

8  Nevertheless  my  brethren 
that  went  up  with  me  made  the 
'heart  of  the  people  melt:  but  I 
wholly  '■followed  the  Lord  my 
God. 

9  And  ^Mo'ses  *sware  on  that 
day,  saying,  Surely  the  land 
whereon  thy  feet  have  trodden 
shall  be  thine  inheritance,  and 
thy  children's  for  ever,  because 
thou  hast  wholly  followed  the 
Lord  my  God. 


10  And  now,  behold,  the  'Lord 
hath  kept  me  alive,  as  he  said, 
these  forty  and  five  years,  even 
since  the  Lord  spake  this  word 
unto  Mouses,  while  the  childre7i 
of  Ls'ra-el  wandered  in  the  wil- 
derness: and  now,  lo,  I  am  this 
day  fourscore  and  five  years  old. 

11  "As  yet  "1  am  as  strong  this 
day  as  I  was  in  the  day  that 
Md'.se.s  sent  me:  as  my  strength 
tvas  then,  even  so  is  my  strength 
now,  for  war,  both  to  go  out,  and 
to  come  in. 

12  Now  therefore  give  me  this 
mountain,  whereof  the  Lord 
spake  in  that  day;  for  thou 
heardest  in  that  day  how  the 
'An'a-kim.s  were  there,  and  that 
the  "'cities  were  great  a77d  fenced : 
if  so  be  the  Lord  ^vill  he  with 
me,  then  I  shall  be  able  to  drive 
them  out,  as  the  Lord  said. 

13  And  '^Josh'u-a  ^blessed  him, 
and  gave  unto  "Ca'leb  the  son 
of  Je-phun'neh  ^He'bron  for  an 
inheritance. 

14  ^Ple'bron  therefore  became 
the  inheritance  of  "Ca'leb  the 
son  of  Je-phun'neh  the  Iven'ez- 
ite  unto  this  day,  ])ecause  that  he 
wholly  '^foUowed  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el. 

15  And  the  name  of  ^He'bron 
before  was  K  i  r '  j  a  t  h-a  r '  b  a ; 
tvhich  A r' ha  was  'a  great  man

CHAPTER  17 

The  lot  of  Manasseh.  7  His  coast.  12 
The  Canaanites  not  driven  otit.  14  The 
children  of  Joseph  obtain  an  additional 
lot. 

THERE  was  also  a  lot  for  the 
tribe  of  °Ma-nas'seh;  for 
he  was  the  firstborn  of  '' Jo'seph ; 
to  ivit,  for  '^jNIa'chir  the  firstborn 
of  iNIa-nas'seh,  the  father  of 
''Gil'e-ad:  because  he  was  a 
man  of  war,  therefore  he  had 
'^Gil'ead  and  ^Ba'shan. 

2  There  was  also  a  lot  for  the 
rest  of  the  children  of  °Ma-nas'- 
seh  by  their  families;  for  the  chil- 
dren of  A-bi-e'zer,  and  for  the 
children  of  ''He'lek,  and  ^or  the 
children  of  ''As'ri-el,  and  for 
the  children  of  'She'chem,  and 
for  the  children  of  ^He'pher,  and 
for  the  children  of  ^She-mi'da: 
these  were  the  male  children  of 
Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  *Jo'.seph 
by  their  families. 

3  ^  But  'Ze-lo'phe-had,  the  son 
of  'He'pher,  the  son  of  '^Gil'e-ad, 
the  son  of  '^jNIa'chir,  the  son  of 
Ma-nas'seh,  had  no  sons,  but 
'"•'*■  "daughters:  and  these  are  the 
names  of  his  daughters,  ^INIah'- 
lah,  and  ^Nf/ah,  ^Hog'lah, 
^J^Iil'cah,  and  ^TTr'zah. 

4  And  they  came  near  before 
'•  "E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  be- 
fore "'"JSsh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun, 
and  before  the  "princes,  '"saying, 
The  Lord  commanded  M5',se.s 
to  give  us  an  Inheritance  among 
our  brethren.  Therefore  accord- 
ing to  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  he  gave  them  an  inherit- 
ance among  the  brethren  of  their 
father. 

5  And  there  fell  ten  portions  to 
°Ma-nas'seh,  beside  the  land  of 
*Gire-ad  and  ^Ba'shan,  which 
were  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan; 


6  Because  the  '"•"•"daughters  of 
jNIa-nas'seh  had  an  inheritance 
among  his  sons:  and  the  rest  of 
Ma-nas'seh's  sons  had  the  land 
of  ^Gil'e-ad. 

7  T[  And  the  ^coast  of  "Ma-nas'- 
seh was  from  Ash'er  to  ^Mich'- 
me-thah,  that  lieth  before  ^She'- 
chem ;  and  the  border  went  along 
on  the  right  hand  unto  the  in- 
habitants of  En-tap'pu-ah. 

8  Now  "^iSIa-nas'seh  had  the 
land  of  ^Tap'pu-ah:  but  Tap'- 
pu-ah  on  the  border  of  "^Ma-nas'- 
seh  belonged  to  the  children  of 
''E'phra-im ; 

9  And  the  ^coast  descended 
unto  the  Mver  '^Ka'nah,  south- 
ward of  the  ^river:  these  cities  of 
*E'phra-im  arc  among  the  cities 
of  °j\Ia-nas'seh:  the  ^coast  of 
jNIa-nas'seh  also  was  on  the 
north  side  of  the  ^river,  and  the 
outgoings  of  it  were  at  the 
sea: 

10  Southward  it  was  ''E'phra- 
im's,  and  northward  it  was  "Ma- 
nas'seh's,  and  the  sea  is  his  bor- 
der; and  they  met  together  in 
'^Ash'er  on  the  north,  and  in  "Is'- 
sa-char  on  the  east. 

11  And  °]\Ia-nas'seh  had  in 
Ts'sa-char  and  in  '^Ash'er 
^Beth-she'an  and  her  towns, 
and  ''Ib'le-am  and  her  towns, 
and  the  inhabitants  of  "Dor  and 
her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
En'-dor  and  her  towns,  and  the 
inhabitants  of  ''Ta'a-nach  and 
her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants 
of  "iNIe-gid'do  and  her  towns, 
^ei^en  three  countries. 

12  Yet  the  children  of  '^Ma- 
nas'seh  could  not  drive  out  the 
inhabitants  of  those  cities;  but 
the  ^Ca'naan-ites  would  dwell  in 
that  land.

13  Yet  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were 
waxen  strong,  that  they  put  the 
'Ca'niian-ites  to  tribute;  but  did 
not  utterly  drive  them  out. 

14  \  And  the  children  of  '^•''Jo'- 
.seph  spake  unto  'Josh'u-a,  ^say- 
ing, ^Why  hast  thou  given  me 
hut  one  lot  and  one  portion  to 
inherit,  seeing  I  am  a  great  peo- 
ple, forasmuch  as  the  Lord 
hath   blessed  me  hitherto? 

15  And  ^Josh'u-a  answered 
them,  '"If  thou  he  a  great  people, 
then  get  thee  up  to  the  wood  coun- 
try, and  cut  down  for  thyself  there 
in  the  land  of  the  "Per'iz-zites 
and  of  the  "giants,  if  mount  ^E'- 
phra-im  be  too  narrow  for  thee, 

16  And  the  children  of  «'*Jo'- 
seph  said,  The  hill  is  not  enough 
for  us :  and  all  the  'Ca'nS.an-ites 
that  dwell  in  the  land  of  the  val- 
ley have  ^chariots  of  *iron,  hotli 
they  who  are  of  *Beth-she'an 
and  her  towns,  and  they  who  are 
of  the  valley  of  *  Jez're-el. 

17  x\nd  'Josh'u-a  spake  unto 
the  house  of  Jo'seph,  even  to 
''E'phra-im  and  to  °Ma-nas'seh, 
saying.  Thou  art  a  great  people, 
and  hast  great  power:  thou  shalt 
not  have  one  lot  only: 

18  But  the  mountain  shall  be 
thine ;  for  it  i?  a  wood,  and  thou 
shalt  cut  it  down:  and  the  out- 
goings of  it  shall  be  thine:  for 
thou  shalt  drive  out  the  *Ca'- 
naan-Ttes,  though  they  have 
*iron  ''chariots,  and  though  they 
he  strong. 

CHAPTER  18 

The  tabernacle  Is  set  up  at  Shiloh.  2  The 
remainder  of  the  land  is  divided  into 
seven  parts,  which  are  distributed  by  lot. 
11  The  lot  and  border  of  Benjamin.  21 
Their  cities. 

AND  the  whole  congregation 
of  the  children  of  "Is'ra-el 
assembled  together  at  ^Shfloh, 


and  set  up  the  ^' '^tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  there.  And  the 
land  was  subdued  before  them. 

2  And  there  remained  among 
the  children  of  "Ls'ra-el  seven 
tribes,  which  had  not  yet  re- 
ceived their  inheritance. 

3  And  '^Josh'u-a  said  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  How  long 
are  ye  slack  to  go  to  possess  the 
^land,  which  the  Lord  God  of 
your  fathers  hath  given  you  ? 

4  Give  out  from  among  you 
three  men  for  each  tribe:  and  I 
will  send  them,  and  they  shall 
rise,  and  go  through  the  ''land, 
and  describe  it  according  to  the 
inheritance  of  them;  and  they 
shall  come  again  to  me. 

5  And  they  shall  divide  it  into 
seven  parts :  '^ Ju'dah  shall  abide 
in  ^their  coast  on  the  south, 
and  the  house  of  "•'^ Jo.s'eph  shall 
abide  in  their  ^coasts  on  the 
north. 

6  Ye  shall  therefore  describe 
the  *land  into  seven  parts,  and 
bring  the  descriftion  hither  to 
me,  that  I  may  cast  ^lots  for  you 
here  before  the  Lord  our  God. 

7  But  the  Le'vites  have  no  part 
among  you;  for  the  priesthood 
of  the  Lord  is  '"-^-^their  in- 
heritance: and  '"Gad,  and  "Reu'- 
l)en,  and  half  the  tribe  of  ^Ma- 
na,s'seh,  have  received  their  in- 
heritance beyond  "Jor'dan  on 
the  east,  which  Mo'§e§  the  serv- 
ant of  the  Lord  gave  them. 

8  t  And  the  men  arose,  and 
went  away:  and  '^Josh'u-a 
charged  them  that  went  to  de- 
scribe the  land,  saying,  Go  and 
walk  through  the  land,  and  de- 
scribe it,  and  come  again  to  me, 
that  I  may  here  cast  lots  for  you 
before  the  Lord  in  ^Shl'loh.

up  according  to  their  families: 
and  the  ^coast  of  their  lot  came 
forth  between  the  children  of 
''Ju'dah  and  the  children  of

12  And  ^tlieir  border  on  the

and  the  border  went  up  to  the

from  thence  toward  Luz,  to  the

descended  to  'At'S,-roth-a'dar, 
near  the  hill  that  lieth  on  the 
south  side  of  the  nether  "Beth-

14  x\nd  ^the  border  was  drawn 
thence,  and  compassed  the  cor- 
ner of  the  sea  southward,  from 
the  hill  that  lieth  before  "Beth- 
ho'ron  southward;  and  the  go- 
ings out  thereof  were  at  Kir'- 
jath-ba'al,  which  is  ^Ktr'jath- 
je'a-rim,  a  city  of  the  children 
of  'Ju'-dah:  this  was  the  west

15  And  ^the  south  quarter  was 
from  the  end  of  "Klr^jath-je^a- 


rim,  and  the  border  went  out  on 
the  west,  and  went  out  to  the

out  for  the  tribe  of  the  chikh-en

41  And  the  ^coast  of  their 
inheritance  was  ■''Zd'rah,  aiul

47  And  the  ^coast  of  the  chil- 
dren of  *Dan  went  out  ^too  little 
for  them:  therefore  the  children 
of  Dan  went  up  to  fight  against 
Le'shem,  and  took  it,  and  smote 
it  with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
and  possessed  it,  and  dwelt 
therein,  and  called  Le'shem, 
'Dan,  after  the  name  of  Dan 
their  father. 

48  This  is  the  inheritance  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  *Dan  ac- 
cording to  their  families,  these 
cities  with  their  villages. 

49  Tl  When  they  had  made  an 
end  of  dividing  the  land  for  in- 
heritance by  ^"their  coasts,  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el  gave  an  in- 
heritance to  ^Josh'u-a  the  son 
of  Nun  among  them : 

50  According  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord  they  gave  him  the  city 
which  he  asked,  even  '^Tim'- 
nath-se'rah  in  mount  M^yphra- 
im:  and  he  built  the  city,  and 
dwelt  therein. 

51  These  are  the  inheritances, 
which  ^E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and 
''Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and 
the  heads  of  the  fathers  of  the 
tribes  of  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el, 


divided  for  an  inheritance  by 
^lot  in  'Shi'loh  before  the  Lord, 
at  the  door  of  the  '''"'tabernacle 
of  the  congregation.  So  they 
made  an  end  of  dividing  the 
"country.

shall  be  your  refuge  from  the 
'^avenger  of  blood. 

4  And  when  he  that  doth  flee 
unto  one  of  those  ''cities  shall 
stand  at  the  entering  of  the  ^gate 
of  the  city,  and  shall  declare  his 
cause  in  the  ears  of  the  ''•''elders 
of  that  city,  they  shall  take  him 
into  the  city  unto  them,  and  give 
him  a  place,  that  he  may  dwell 
among  them, 

5  And  if  the  '^avenger  of  blood 
pursue  after  him,  then  they  shall 
not  deliver  the  slayer  up  into 
his  hand;  because  he  '^smote 
his  neighbour  unwittingly,  and 
''hated  him  not  beforetime. 

6  And  he  shall  dwell  in  that 
''city,  until  he  stand  before  the

until  the  death  of  the  'high  priest

shall  the  slayer  return,  and  come 
unto  his  own  city,  and  unto  his

whence  he  fled.

33  All  the  cities  of  the  '"Ger'-

their  suburbs. 

34  T[  And  unto  the  families  of

by  their  lot  twelve  cities. 

41  All  the  ''cities  of  the  Le'vites 
within  the  possession  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ls'ra-el  were  forty  and 
eight  cities  with  their  suburbs. 

42  These  cities  were  every  one 
with  their  suburbs  round  about 
them:  thus  were  all  these  cities. 

43  T[  And  the  Lord  gave  unto 
''I.s'ra-el  all  the  *land  which  he 


^sware  to  give  unto  their  fathers ; 
and  they  possessed  it,  and  dwelt 
therein. 

44  And  the  ^Lord  gave  ''them 
rest  round  about,  according  to 
all  that  he  ^sware  unto  their  fa- 
thers: and  there  stood  n^t  a  man 
of  all  their  enemies  before  them ; 
the  "Lord  delivered  all  their 
enemies  into  their  hand. 

45  *There  failed  not  ought  of 
any  good  thing  which  the  'Lord 
had  spoken  unto  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el;  all  came  to  pass.

of  testltnony  bij  Jordan.  11  Tlie  other

THEN  "Josh'u-a  called  the 
*R  e  u'b  e  n-I  t  e  s,  and  the 
''Gad'ites,  antl  the  half  tribe  of 
'^Ma-nas'seh, 

2  And  said  unto  them,  Ye  have 
kept  all  that/^Mo'ge.s  the  servant

that  I  commanded  you : 

3  Ye  have  not  left  your  breth-

day,  but  ''have  kept  the  charge 
of  the  commandment  of  the

4  And  now  the  ''Lord  your 
God  hath  given  rest  unto  your 
brethren,  as  he  promised  them: 
therefore  now  return  ye,  and  get 
you  unto  your  tents,  and  unto

which  M5'ses  the  servant  of  the

11  Tl  And  the  children  of  ^s'-

an  ^altar  ^over  against  the  land 
of  "'Ca'naan,  in  the  borders  of  ' 
'Mor'dan,  ^at  the  passage  of  the

congregation  of  the  children  of

gether at  ShI'loh,  to  go  up  to

13  And  the  children  of  « Ls'ra-el 
sent  unto  the  *children  of  Reii'-

the7i  pass  ye  over  unto  the  land 
of  the  possession  of  the  Lord, 
wherein  the  Lord's  "tabernacle 
dwelleth,  and  take  possession 
among  us:  ^•■'"but  rebel  not 
against  the  Lord,  nor  rebel 
against  us,  in  building  you  an 
'^altar  beside  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  our  God. 

20  Did  not  "A'chan  the  son  of

^accursed  thing,  and  ^wrath  fell 
on  all  the  congregation  of  "I.s'-

alone  in  his  iniquity. 

21  K  Then  the  "^children  of 
Reii'l)en  and  the  children  of 
''Gad  and  the  half  tribe  of 
'^Ma-nas'seh  answered,  and  said 
unto  the  heads  of  the  thousands 
of  Ls'ra-el,

Lord  God  of  gods,  *he  knoweth, 
and  "Is'ra-el  he  shall  know;  if  it 
be  in  rebellion,  or  if  in  tran.sgres- 
sion  against  the  Lord,  (save  us 
not  this  day,) 

23  That  we  have  built  us  an 
'^altar  to  turn  from  following  the 
Lord,  or  if  to  offer  thereon 
"■burnt  offering  or  ^-^meat  offer- 
ing, or  if  to  offer  'peace  offerings 
thereon,  let  the  Lord  him.self 
require  it; 

24  And  ^"'"if  we  have  not  rather 
\lone  it  for  fear  of  this  thing, 
saying,  In  time  to  come  your 
children  might  speak  unto  our 
children,  saying.  What  have  ye 
to  do  with  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el  ? 

25  For  the  Lord  hath  made 
'Jor'dan  a  border  between  us 
and  you,  ye  ^children  of  Reu'- 
ben  and  children  of  *Gad;  ye 
have  no  part  in  the  Lord:  so 
shall  your  children  make  our 
cliildren  cease  from  '"fearing  the 
Lord. 

26  Therefore  we  said,  'Let  us 
now  prepare  to  build  us  an  *al- 


tar,  not  for  Hjurnt  offering,  nor 
for  sacrifice : 

27  But  that  it  maij  be  a  ^witness 
between  us  and  you,  and  our

might  do  the  service  of  the  Lord 
before  him  with  our  ''burnt  offer- 
ings, and  with  our  sacrifices,  and 
with  our  peace  offerings;  'that 
your  children  may  not  say  to  our 
children  in  time  to  come,  Ye 
have  no  part  in  the  Lord. 

28  Therefore  said  we,  that  it 
shall  be,  when  they  should  so  say 
to  us  or  to  our  generations  in 
time  to  come,  that  we  may  say 
arjaiii,  Behold  tiie  pattern  of  the 
^altar  of  the  Lord,  whicli  our 
fathers  made,  not  for  'burnt  of- 
ferings, nor  for  sacrifices;  but  it 
is  a  witness  between  us  and  ycui. 

29  'God  forbid  that  we  should 
rebel  against  the  Lord,  and 
tm-n  this  day  from  following  the

the  children  of  Reii'l)en  and  the 
children  of  ''Gad  and  the  chil-

pleased  them. 

31  And  ^Phin'e-has  the  son  of

had  given  rest  unto  °I.s'ra-el 
from  all  their  enemies  round

and  for  their  heads,  and  for  their 
judges,  and  for  their  officers,  and 
said  unto  them,  I  am  old  and 
stricken  in  age: 

3  And  ye  have  seen  all  that  the 
TiORD  your  God  hath  done  unto 
all  these  ^nations  becau.se  of  you; 
for  the  Lord  your  God  is  he 
that  hath  ^fought  for  you. 

4  Behold,  I  have  di^^ded  unto 
you  by  ^lot  these  nations  that 
remain,  to  be  an  inheritance  for 
your  tribes,  from  'Mor'dan,  with 
all  the  nations  that  I  have  cut 
off,  even  unto  the  *great  sea 
westward. 

5  And  the  Lord  your  God,  he 
shall   expel   them   from   before 


you,  and  drive  them  from  out  of 
your  sight;  and  ye  shall  possess 
their  land,  'as  the  Lord  your 
God  hath  promised  unto  you. 

6  ^"'Be  ye  therefore  very  cour- 
ageous to  keep  and  to  '"do  all 
that  is  written  in  the  book  of  the 
'*law  of  Mouses,  that  ye  turn  not 
aside  therefrom  to  the  right  hand 
or  to  the  left; 

7  That  ye  "come  not  among 
these  ^nations,  these  that  remain 
among  you;  neither  make  men- 
tion of  the  name  of  their  gods, 
nor  cause  to  swear  hj  them,  ''nei- 
ther serve  them,  nor  bow  your- 
selves unto  them : 

8  But  ''cleave  unto  the  Lord 
your  God,  as  ye  have  done  unto 
this  day. 

9  For  the  Lord  hath  *driven 
out  from  before  you  great  na- 
tions and  strong:  but  as  for  you, 
no  man  hath  been  able  to  stand 
before  you  unto  this  day. 

10  One  man  of  you  shall  chase 
a  thousand :  for  the  *'  'Lord  your

14  And,  behold,  this  day  I  am 
going  the  way  of  all  the  earth: 
and  ye  know  in  all  your  hearts 
and  in  all  your  souls,  that  not 
one  thing  hath  failed  of  all  the 
good  things  wdiich  the  ''Lord 
your  God  spake  concerning  you; 
all  are  come  to  pass  unto  you, 
and  not  one  thing  hath  failed 
thereof. 

15  Therefore  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  ihat  as  all  good  things  are 
come  upon  you,  which  the  Lord 
your  God  promised  you ;  so  shall 
the  Lord  ^bring  upon  you  all 
''evil  things,  until  he  have  de- 
stroyed you  from  off  this  good 
"^land  which  the  Lord  your  God 
hath  given  you. 

16  When  ye  have  ''transgressed 
the  ^covenant  of  the  Lord  your 
God,  which  he  commanded  you, 
and  have  gone  and  ''served  other 
gods,  and  bowed  yourselves  to 
them;  then  shall  the  'anger  of 
the  Lord  be  kindled  against 
you,  and  ye  shall  '^perish  quickly 
from  off  the  good  land  which  he 
hath  given  unto  you. 

CHAPTER  24 

Joshua  a.tsembh's  the  tribes  at  Shecfiem. 
2  A  brief  history  of  God's  benefits  from 
Terah  onward.  14  He  renews  tfie  cove- 
nant hetiveen  them  and  God.  26  and  sets 
up  a  stone  as  a  tvitness  thereof.  29  Josh- 
ua's age,  death,  and  burial.  32  Joseph's 
bones  are  buried.     33  Eleasar  dies. 

AND  "Josh'u-ii  gathered  all 
the  tribes  of  "'Ts'i-a-el  to 
"She'chem,  and  called  for  the 
'^elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  for  their 
heads,  and  for  their  judges,  and 
for  their  officers;  and  they  pre- 
sented themselves  before  God. 

2  And  "Josh'u-a  said  unto  all 
the  people,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  Your  fathers 
dwelt  *on  the  other  side  of  the 
flood  in  old  time,  ci^en  '^Te'rah, 
the  father  of  ''A'bra-ham,  and 
the  father  of  Na'chor:  and  they 
''served  other  gods. 

3  And  'I  took  your  father 
"A'bra-ham     from    the   other 


side  of  the  flood,  and  led  him 
throughout  all  the  land  of  ^Ca'- 
naan,  and  multiplied  his  seed, 
and  gave  him  ^I'saac. 

4  And  *I  gave  unto  ^Fsaac  '  Ja'- 
cob  and  '"E'sau:  and  I  gave  unto 
E'sau  mount  "Se'Tr,  to  possess  it; 
but  Ja'cob  and  his  children  went 
down  into  "E'gypt. 

5  'I  sent  ^Mo'.ses  also  and  ^Aar'- 
on,  and  I  ''•^plagued  "E'gypt, 
according  to  that  which  I  did 
among  them:  and  afterward  I 
'brought  you  out. 

6  And  'I  brought  your  fathers 
out  of  "E'gypt:  and  ye  came  un- 
to the  sea;  and  the  "E-gyp'tians 
pursued  after  your  fathers  with 
chariots  and  ^'horsemen  unto  the 
"■Red  sea. 

7  And  when  they  ^cried  unto 
the  Lord,  he  ^put  darkness  be- 
tween you  and  the  "E-gyp'tian.s, 
and  brought  the  '"sea  upon  them, 
and  covered  them ;  and  your  eyes 
have  seen  what  I  have  done  in 
"E'gvpt :  and  ye  dwelt  in  the  wil- 
derness a  long  season. 

8  And  T  'brought  you  into  the 
^land  of  the  ^Am'or-ites,  which 
dwelt  on  the  other  side  "Jor'dan; 
and  they  fought  with  you :  and  I 
gave  them  into  your  hand,  that 
ye  might  possess  their  land;  and 
I  destroyed  them  from  before 
you. 

"'  9  Then  "Ba'lak  the  son  of  ^Zip'- 
por,  king  of  ^jSIo'ab,  arose  and 
warred  against  Is'ra-el,  and  sent 
and  called  ^Ba'laam  the  son  of 
Be'or  to  curse  you : 

10  ''But  I  would  not  hearken 
unto  ^Ba'laam;  therefore  he 
blessed  you  still:  so  "I  delivered 
you  out  of  his  hand. 

11  And  ye  went  over  "Jor'dan, 
and  came  unto  ''Jer'i-cho:  and 
the  men  of  Jer'i-cho  fought 
against  you,  the  'Am'or-Ttes,  and 
the  'Per'iz-zltes,  and  the  '^Ca'- 
naan-Ttes,  and  the  TIit'tTtes,  and

and  the  "Jeb'u-sites;  and  I  de- 
livered them  into  your  hand. 

12  And  ^I  sent  the  *■ 'hornet  be- 
fore you,  which  drave  them  out 
from  before  you,  even  the  two 
kings  of  the  ^\m'6r-Ites;  but  not 
with  thy  sA\ord,  nor  with  thy 
bow. 

13  And  ^I  have  given  you  a 
^land  for  which  ye  did  not  la- 
bour, and  cities  which  ye  built 
not,  and  ye  dAvell  in  them ;  of  the 
'vineyards  antl  oliveyards  which 
ye  planted  not  do  ye  eat. 

'  14  T[  "'"Now  therefore  near  the 
Lord,  and  ^serve  him  in  *'sin- 
cerity  and  in  ^truth:  and  put 
away  the  gods  which  your  fa- 
thers served  "on  the  other  side 
of  the  flood,  and  in  "E'gypt;  and 
serve  ye  the  Lord. 

15  And  if  it  seem  evil  unto  you 
to  serve  the  Lord,  ''choose  you 
this  day  whom  ye  will  serve; 
""whether  the  gods  which  your 
fathers  ''served  that  hvere  on  the 
other  side  of  the  flood,  or  the 
gods  of  the  '^Am'or-Ites,  in  whose 
land  ye  dwell :  but  as  for  %e  and 
''my  house,  ^-Ve  will  serve  the 
Lord. 

16  And  the  people  answered 
and  said,  ''God  forbid  that  we 
should  forsake  the  Lord,  to 
''serve  other  gods; 

17  For  the  'Lord  our  God,  he 
it  IS  that  brought  us  up  and 
our  fathers  out  of  the  land  of 
''E'gypt,  from  the  house  of  bond- 
age, and  which  did  those  great 
^signs  in  our  sight,  and  pre- 
served us  in  all  the  way  wherein 
we  went,  and  among  all  the  peo- 
ple through  whom  we  passed : 

18  And  the  'Lord  drave  out 
from  before  us  all  the  people, 
even  the  *Am'6r-Ites  which  dwelt 
in  the  '"land:  therefore  ''will  we 
also  serve  the  Lord;  for  he  is 
our  God. 

19  And  'Josh'u-a  said  unto 
the  people,  Ye  cannot  serve  the 


Lord:  for  he  is  an  "holy  "God; 
he  is  a  ^jealous  God;  he  will  not 
forgive  your  transgressions  nor 
your  sins. 

20  If  ye  ''forsake  the  Lord,  and 
''serve  strange  gods,  then  he  will 
turn  and  do  you  hurt,  and  con- 
sume you,  after  that  he  hath 
done  you  good. 

21  And  the  people  said  unto 
'Josh'u-a,  Nay;  but  ''we  will 
serve  the  Lord. 

22  And  'Josh'u-a  said  unto  the 
people.  Ye  are  witnesses  against 
yourselves  that  ye  have  chosen 
you  the  Lord,  to  serve  him. 
And  they  said,  ''We  are  wit- 
nesses. 

23  Now  therefore  put  away, 
said  he,  the  strange  ''gods  which 
are  among  you,  and  incline  your 
heart  unto  the  Lord  God  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

24  And  the  people  said  unto 
/Josh'u-a,  ''The  Lord  our  God 
will  we  serve,  and  his  voice  will 
vce  '^obey. 

25  So  ''Josh'u-a  made  a  *cove- 
nant  with  the  people  that  day, 
and  set  them  a  statute  and  an 
ordinance  in  'She'chem. 

2G  And  ''Josh'u-a  wrote  these 
words  in  the  book  of  the  "law  of 
God,  and  took  a  great  ^stone, 
and  set  it  up  there  under  an  oak, 
that  was  by  the  "'sanctuary  of 
the  Lord. 

27  And  ^Josh'u-a  said  unto  all 
the  people.  Behold,  this  "stone 
shall  be  a  witness  unto  us;  for  it 
hath  heard  all  the  words  of  the 
Lord  which  he  spake  unto  us: 
it  shall  be  therefore  a  witness  un- 
to you,  lest  ye  ''deny  your  God. 

28  So  ''Josh'u-a  let  the  people 
depart,  every  man  unto  his  in- 
heritance. 

29  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  'J6sh''u-a  the 
son  of  Niin,  the  servant  of  the 
Lord,  ^died,  being  ^an  hundred 
and  ten  years  old.

shall  go  up:  behold,  ^1  have  de- 
livered the  land  into  his  hand. 

3  And  AJu'dah  said  unto  "Sim'- 
e-on  his  brother.  Come  up  with 
me  into  my  lot,  that  we  may 
fight  against  the  *Ca'naan-ites  ; 
and  I  likewise  will  go  with  thee 
into  thy  lot.  So  Sim'e-on  went 
with  him. 

4  And  jQ'dah  went  up ;  and  the 
'Lord  delivered  the  ^Ca'naan- 
Ites  and  the  ''^Per'iz-zltes  into 
their  hand :  and  they  slew  of  them 
in  Be'zek  ten  thou-sand  men. 

5  And  they  found  A-do'ni-be'- 
zek  in  Be'zek:  and  thev  fousht 


against  him,  and  they  slew  the 
''Ca'naan-Ttes  and  the  ^Per'iz- 
zltes. 

6  But  A-do'nI-be'zek  fied;  and 
they  pursued  after  him,  and 
caught  'him,  and  '"cut  off  his 
"thumbs  and   his  great   "toes. 

7  And  ^A-do'nl-be'zek  said, 
Thr(>escore  and  ten  kings,  hav- 
ing their  thumbs  and  their  great 
toes  cut  oflF,  gathered  their  meat 
under  my  *tal)le:  as  I  have  done, 
so  God  liath  rccjuited  me.  And 
they  brought  him  to  "^Je-rii'sA- 
lem,  and  there  he  died. 

8  T[  Now  the  cliildren  of  ^JQ'- 
dah  had  fought  again.st  *Je-rii'- 
sfi-lem,  and  had  'taken  it,  and 
smitten  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  set  the  city  on  fire. 

9  And  afterward  the  children 
of  ^Ju'dah  Ment  down  to  fight 
against  the  ''Cri'na;in-Ttes,  that 
dwelt  in  the  mountain,  and  in 
the  south,  and  in  the  valley. 

10  And  ^Ju'dah  went  against 
the  ''Ca'naan-Ites  that  dwelt  in 
''He'bron:  (now  the  name  of 
He'bron  before  %oas  Kir'jath-

and  A-hl'man,  and  'Tiiymai.

11  x\ik1  from  thence  ^he  went 
againrt  the  inhabitants  of  "De'- 
bir:  and  the  name  of  De'bir  be- 
fore was  '^Kir'jath-se'pher: 

12  And  "-Caaeb  said,  ^He  that 
sniitetli  ^Kir'jath-se'pher,  and 
taketh  it,  ^to  him  will  I  give 
^Ach'sah  my  daughter  to  wife. 

13  And  °Oth'ni-el  the  son 
of  ^Ke'naz,  ''Ca'leb's  younger 
brother,  took  it:  antl  he  gave  him 
Ach'sah  hi.s  daughter  to  wife. 

14  x\nd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  came  to  him,  that  she  moved 
him  to  ask  of  her  father  a  field : 
and  she  lightetl  from  off  her  ass; 
and  "Ca'leb  said  unto  her.  What 
wilt  thou  ? 

15  And  she  said  unto  him,  Give 
me  a  blessing:  for  thou  hast  giv- 
en me  a  south  land ;  give  me  also 
springs  of  water.  And  ''Ca'leb 
gave  her  the  upper  springs  and 
the  nether  springs. 

16  TI  And  the  children  of  the 
'^Ken'ite,  JNIo'se.s'  ^father  in  law, 
went  up  out  of  the  ^city  of  palm 
trees  with  the  children  of  '^Ju'- 
dah  into  the  wilderness  of  Ju'- 
dah,  which  lictlt.  m  the  south  of 
A'rad ;  and  they  went  and  dwelt 
among  the  pef)ple. 

17  And  ''Ju'dah  went  with 
^Sim'e-on  his  brother,  and  they 
slew  the  "Ca'naan-Ites  that  in- 
habited Ze'phath,  and  utterly 
destroyed  it.  And  the  name  of 
the  city  was  called  ''Ilor'mah. 

18  Also  "Ju'dah  took  *Ga'za 
with  the  ^coast  thereof,  and 
*As'ke-lon  with  the  ^coast  there- 
of, and  ■'Ek'ron  with  the  ^coast 
thereof. 

19  And  the  ^LoRD  was  with 
'^Ju'didi;  and  he  drave  out  the 
inhahitant.s-  of  the  mountain;  but 


could  not  drive  out  the  'inhabi- 
tants of  the  valley,  because  they 
had  '"chariots  of  "iron. 

20  And  they  gave  "He'bron  un- 
to "Ca'leb,  as  Mo  .ses  said:  and 
he  expelled  thence  the  three 
''sons  of  A'nak. 

21  ^  And  the  children  of  «Ben'- 
ja-min  did  not  drive  out  the 
'^Jeb'u-sltes  that  inhabited  *Je- 
ru'sa-lem;  but  the  Jeb'u-sltes 
dwell  with  the  children  of  Ben'- 
ja-min  in  Je-r\i'sa-lem  unto  this 
day. 

22  11  And  the  '-"house  of  Jo'- 
seph,  they  also  went  up  against 
"Bcth'-el:  and  the  ^Lord  was 
with  them. 

23  And  the  house  of  '•"Jo'geph 
sent  to  ^'"descry  "Bcth'-el.  (Now 
the  name  of  the  city  before  loas 
Liiz.) 

24  And  the  spies  saw  a  man 
come  forth  out  of  the  ''city,  and 
they  said  unto  him.  Shew  us, 
we  pray  thee,  the  entrance  into 
the  city,  and  we  will  shew  thee 
''^mercy. 

25  And  w^hen  ^-^he  shewed 
them  the  entrance  into  the  "city, 
they  smote  the  city  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword ;  but  they  let  go  the 
man  and  all  his  family. 

26  And  the  man  went  into  the 
land  of  the  "llTt'tltes,  and  built 
a  city,  antl  called  the  name 
thereof  Luz:  which  is  the  name 
thereof  unto  this  day. 

27  TI  Neither  did  '^Ma-nas'seh

CHAPTER  2 

An  angel  rebukes  tlie  people  at  Bochim. 
6  Tfie  wickedness  of  Vie  next  generation 
after  Joshua.  14  God's  dealings  ivltli 
them  in  judgment  and  mercy.  20  The 
nations  left  to  prove  Israel. 

AND  an  "angel  of  the  liORD 
came  up  from  Gil'gal  to 
Bo'chim,  and  said,  I  made  "you 
to  go  up  out  of  E'gypt,  and  have 
brought  you  unto  the  '^land 
which  I  sware  unto  your  fathers ; 
and  I  said,  ''I  will  never  break 
my  ^covenant  with  you. 

2  And  ye  shall  make  no  ^league 
with  the  ''inhabitants  of  this 
land;  ye  shall  throw  down  their 
altars:  but  ye  have  ''not  obeyed 
my  voice:  why  have  ye  done 
this? 

3  Wherefore  I  also  said,  I  will 
not  drive  'them  out  from  before 
you;  but  they  shall  be  as  thorns 
in  your  sides,  and  their  ^gods 
shall  be  a  snare  unto  you. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
"angel  of  the  Lord  spake  these 
words  unto  all  the  children  of 
"Ls'ra-el,  that  the  people  *  lifted 
up  their  voice,  and  'wept. 

5  And  they  called  the  name 
of  that  place  Bo'chim :  and  they 
sacrificed  there  unto  the  Lord. 

6  T[  And  when  "'Josh'u-ii  had 
let  the  people  go,  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el  went  every  man  unto  his 
inheritance  to  possess  the  '^land. 

7  And  the  "people  "served  the 
Lord  all  the  days  of  Josh'u-a, 
and  all  the  days  of  the  elders 
that  outlived  Josh'u-a,  who  had 
seen  all  the  great  ''works  of  the 
Lord,  that  he  did  for  Ls'ra-el. 

8  And  '"Josh'u-a  the  son  of 
Niin,  the  servant  of  the  Lord, 
*died,  brine/  an  ''hundred  and 
ten  years  old. 

9  And  they  buried  him  in  the 
border  of  his  inheritance  in 
^Tim'nath-he'res,  in  the  mount 
of  'E'phr3,-Tm,  on  the  north  ^side

and  there  arose  another  *gene- 
ration  after  them,  which  ''knew 
not  the  Lord,  nor  yet  the 
''works  which  he  had  done  for 
Is'ra-el 

11  Tl  And  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  "'•^served  ^/Ba'al-im: 

12  And  ^they  ""forsook  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers, 
which  "brought  them  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  and  "followed 
other  gods,  of  the  gods  of  the 
people  that  ivere  round  about 
them,  and  bowed  themselves 
unto  them,  and  provoked  the 
Lord  to  '^anger. 

13  And  they  ^forsook  the 
Lord,  and  served  *Ba'al  and 
^Ash'ta-roth. 

14  And  the  ''anger  of  the  Lord 
was  hot  against  Is'ra-el,  and  he 
delivered  ''them  into  the  hands 
of  spoilers  that  spoiled  them, 
and  he  sold  them  into  the  hands 
of  their  enemies  round  about,  so 
that  they  could  not  any  longer 
stand  before  their  enemies. 

15  Whithersoever  ^they  went 
out,  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
against  them  for  evil,  as  the 
Lord  had  said,  and  as  the 
Lord  had  sworn  unto  them: 
and  they  were  greatly  distressed. 

If)  ^  ''Nevertheless  the  Lord 
raised  up  *judges,  which  de- 
livered Hliem  out  of  the  hand 
of  those  that  spoiled  them. 

17   And   yet  ^thcy  would   not 

hearken  unto  their  *judges,  but 

they    ''went    a    ^whoring    after 

other  gods,  and   ''bowed  them- 

1  selves  unto  them:  they  ''•'turned 


quickly  out  of  the  way  which 
their  fathers  walked  in,  obey- 
ing the  commandments  of  the 
Lord;    but  they  did  not  so. 

18  And  when  the  '"Lord  raised 
them  up  judges,  then  the  Lord 
was  with  the  *judge,  and  'de- 
livered them  out  of  the  hand 
of  their  enemies  all  the  days  of 
the  jutlge:  for  it  ''-"repented  the 
Lord  because  of  their  groan- 
ings  by  reason  of  them  that  op- 
pressed them  and  vexed  them. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  *judge  was  dead,  that  they 
'returned,  and  corrupted  them- 
selves more  than  their  fathers, 
in  following  other  gods  to  ''serve 
them,  and  to  bow  down  unto 
them;  they  ceased  not  from  their 
own  doings,  nor  from  their 
^stubborn  way. 

20  ^  And  the  ''anger  of  the 
Lord  was  hot  against  ^Is'ra-el; 
and  he  said.  Because  that  this 
people  hath  ^transgressed  my 
covenant  which  I  commanded 
their  fathers,  and  have  not 
hearkened  unto  my  voice; 

21  I  also  will  not  henceforth 
drive  out  any  from  before  them 
of  the  nations  which  Josh'u-a 
left  when  he  died : 

22  'That  through  them  I  may 
prove  Is'ra-el,  whether  they  will 
keep  the  way  of  the  Lord  to 
walk  therein,  as  their  fathers 
(lid  ^kecp  it,  or  not. 

23  Therefore  the  'Lord  left 
those  nations,  without  driving 
them  out  hastily;  neither  deliv- 
ered he  them  into  the  hand  of 
Josh'u-a.

r/ic  nations  which  were  left  to  prove  Israel. 
5  The  Israelites  dwelling  among  them  are 
led  into  idolatry.  8  Othnicl  delivers 
them  from  Ch^ishan-rishathaim;  12  Ehud 
from  Egion;  31  and  Shamgar  from  the 
Philistines. 

'VrOW  these  are  the  nations 
^  which  the  °Lord  left,  to 
prove  ''Ls'ra-el  by  them,  even 
as  many  0/  Is'ra-el  as  had  not 
known  all  the  *wars  of  Ca'- 
naan ; 

2  Only  that  the  generations  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  might 
know,  to  teach  them  *war,  at 
the  least  such  as  before  knew 
nothing  thereof; 

3  Namely,  five  lords  of  the'^Phi- 
lis'tine.s,  and  all  tJie  '^Ca'naan- 
Ites,  and  the  ^Si-do'ni-an,s,  and 
the  ''Hi'vites  that  dwelt  in  mount 
''Leb'a-non,  from  mount  Ba'al- 
her'mon  unto  the  entering  in  of 
Ha'math. 

4  And  they  were  to  prove  Is'- 
ra-el by  them,  to  know  whether 
they  Avould  hearken  unto  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  commanded  their 
fathers  by  the  hand  of  JNlo'ses. 

5  ^  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
''dwelt  among  the  ''Ca'naan-ites, 
'Hit'tltes,  and  ^Am'or-Ites,  and 
^Per'iz-zltes,  and  'Hl'vltes,  and 
^Jeb'u-sltes: 

6  And  "-''they  '"took  their 
daughters  to  be  their  wives,  and 
gave  their  daughters  to  their 
sons,  and  '^served  their  gods. 

7  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-cl 
did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  forgat  the  Lord  their  God, 


and   "served  Ba'al-im  and  the 
'groves. 

8  Therefore  the  °anger  of  the 
Lord  was  hot  against  *  Is'ra-el, 
and  he  sold  them  into  the  hand 
of  Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im  king 
of  ^Mgs-o-po-ta'mi-a :  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  served 
C  h  u's  h  a  n-r  1  s  li-a-t  h  a'i  m  eight 
years. 

9  And  when  the  children  of 
*  Is'ra-el  ''•^cried  unto  the  Lord, 
the  "-'Lord  raised  up  a  deliverer 
to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  who 
delivered  them,  even  "Oth'ni-el 
the  son  of  "Ke'naz,  Ca'leb's 
younger  brother. 

10  And  the  "'Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  "him,  and  he  ^judged 
Is'ra-el,  and  went  out  to  war: 
and  the  "Lord  delivered  Chu'- 
shan-rish-a-tha'im  king  of  Mes- 
o-p6-ta'mi-a  into  his  hand;  and 
his  hand  prevailed  against  Chu'- 
shan-rish-a-tha'im. 

11  And  the  ^laiid  had  rest  forty 
years.  And  "•  -^Oth'ni-el  the  son 
of   Ke'naz  died. 

12  T[  And  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el did  evil  again  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord:  and  the  Lord 
strengthened  Eg'lon.  the  king 
of  ^Mo'ab  against  '^Is'ra-el,  be- 
cause they  had  done  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  he  ''gathered  unto  him 
the  children  of  ''Am'mon  and

eighteen  yeurs. 

15  But  when  the  chiUh-en  of 
"Ls'ra-el  "•''cried  unto  tlie  Lord, 
the  'Lord  raised  them  up  a 
deliverer,  E'hud  the  son  of  ^Ge'- 
n'l,  a  'Ben'ja-mlte,  a  man  ^left- 
handed  :  and  by  him  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  sent  a  present  unto 
Eg'lon  the  king  of  jNId'ab. 

16  But  E'hnd  made  him  a  dag- 
ger which  had  two  edges,  of  a 
cubit  length;  and  he  did  gird  it 
under  his  raiment  upon  his  right 
thigh. 

17  And  he  brought  the  present 
unto  Eg'lon  king  of  Mo'ab :  and 
Eg'lon  tvas  a  very  fat  man. 

18  And  when  he  had  made  an 
end  to  offer  the  present,  he  sent 
away  the  people  that  bare  the 
present. 

19  But  he  himself  turned  again 
from  the  quarries  that  were  by 
'Gil'gal,  and  '"said,  "I  have  a 
secret  errand  unto  thee,  O  king: 
who  said,  Keep  silence.  And  all 
that  stood  by  him  went  out  from 
him. 

20  And  E'hud  came  unto  him; 
and  he  was  sitting  in  a  ^'"sum- 
mer ^parlour,  which  he  had  for 
himself  alone.  And  E'hud  'said, 
"I  have  a  message  from  God  unto 
thee.  And  he  arose  out  oViis  seat.

22  ^^nd  the  haft  also  went  in 
after  the  blade;  and  the  fat 
closed  upon  the  blade,  so  tiiat  he 
could  not  draw  the  dagger  out  of 
his  belly;  and  ''ih;^  dirt  came  out. 

23  Then  E'hud  went  forth 
through  the  ''porrli,  and  shut  the 
doors  of  the  parlour  u[)oii  him, 
and  "locked  them. 

24  When  he  was  gone  out,  his 
servants  came;  and  when  they 


saw  that,  behold,  the  doors  of 
the  ''parlour  were  locked,  they 
said.  Surely  he  covereth  his  feet 
in  his  "summer  chamber. 

25  And  they  tarried  till  they 
were  ashamed:  and,  behold,  he 
opened  not  the  doors  of  the  ''par- 
lour; therefore  they  took  a  ^key, 
and  opened  them:  and,  behold, 
their  lord  was  fallen  down  dead 
on  the  earth. 

26  And  E'hud  escaped  while 
they  tarried,  and  passed  beyond 
the  quarries,  and  escapetl  unto 
Se'i-rath. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  was  come,  that  he  blew  a 
'"trumpet  in  the  mountain  of 
■'^E'jihra-im,  and  the  ^children 
of  Is'ra-el  went  down  with  him 
from  the  mount,  and  he  before 
them. 

28  And  ha  said  unto  them, 
Follow  after  me:  for  the  I^ord 
hath  delivered  your  enemies  the 
%Io'ab-Ites  into  your  hand. 
And  they  went  down  after  him 
and  took  the  fords  of  ^Joi-'dan 
Howard  INIo'ab,  and  suffered  not 
a  mail  to  pass  over. 

29  And  they  slew  of  "Mo'ab  at 
that  time  about  ten  thousand 
men,  all  lusty,  and  all  men  of 
valour;  and  there  escaped  not  a 
man. 

30  So  °Mo'ab  was  subdued  that 
day  under  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el. 
And  the  ''land  had  rest  fourscore 
years. 

31  ^  And  after  him  was ''Sham'- 
gar  the  son  of  A'nath,  wliich 
slew  of  the  '^PhT-lTs'tines  six  hun- 
dred men  with  an  ox  goad:  and 
he  also  delivered  '^Is'-ra-el.

2  And  the  Lord  *sold  them  in- 
to the  hand  of  '^Ja'bin  king  of 
'^Ca'naan,  that  reigned  in  *Ha'- 
zor;  the  ''captain  of  who.se  host 
^vas  *Sis'e-ra,  which  dwelt  in 
Ha-ro'sheth  of  the  Gen'tiles. 

3  And  the  children  of  ^Is'ra-el 
''•'cried  unto  the  Lord:  for  he 
had  nine  hundred  chariots  of 
iron ;  and  twenty  years  he  might- 
ily oppressed  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

4  Tf  And  '•  ^'Deb'o-rah,  a  '''proph- 
etess, the  wife  of  Lap'i-doth, 
'she  '"judged  Is'ra-el  at  that 
time. 

5  And  she  dwelt  under  the 
"palm  tree  of  Deb'o-rah  between 
"Ra'mah  and  ^Beth'-el  in  mount 
'E'phra-im:  and  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  came  up  to  ""her  for 
judgment. 

6  And  '-^she  sent  and  called 
'Ba'rak  the  son  of  A-bin'o-am 
out  of  "Ke'desh-naph'ta-li,  and 
said  unto  him,  Hath  not  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  command- 
ed, saying,  Go  and  draw  toward 
mount  ''Ta'bor,  and  take  with 
thee  ten  thousand  men  of  the 
children  of  '"Naph'ta-ll  and  of 
the  children  of  *Zeb'u-lun  ? 

7  And  I  will  draw  unto  thee  to 
the  river  •^Ki'shon  *Sis'e-ra,  the 
^captain  of  '^Ja 'bin's  army,  with 
his  chariots  and  his  multitude; 
and  I  will  deliver  him  into 
thine  hand. 

8  And  'Ba'rak  said  unto  her,  If 
thou  wilt  go  with  me,  then  I  will 
go:  but  if  thou  wilt  not  go  with 
me,  theji  I  will  not  go. 

9  And  ^she  said,  *I  will  surely 
go  with  thee:  notwithstanding 
the  journey  that  thou  takest 
shall  not  be  for  thine  honour;  for 
'''•^the   Lord  shall  sell  Sis'e--" 


Deb'o-rah  arose,  and  went  with 
'Ba'rak  to  Ke'desh. 

10  And  'Ba'rak  called  ^Zeb'u- 
lun  and  '"Naph'ta-h  to  "Ke'- 
desh;  and  he  went  up  with  ten 
thousand  men  at  his  feet:  and 
Deb'o-rah  went  up  with  him. 

11  Now  ^He'ber  the  Ken'ite, 
which  was  of  the  children  of 
Ho'bab  the  ^father  in  law  of 
jM5',se.s,  had  severed  himself 
from  the  "Ken'ites,  and  pitched 
his  tent  "unto  the  plain  of  ''Za-a- 
na'im,  which  is  by  Ke'desh. 

12  And  they  shewed  *Sis'e-ra 
that  ^Ba'rak  the  son  of  A-bin'- 
o-am  was  gone  up  to  mount 
'^Ta'bor. 

13  And  *Sis'e-ra  gathered  to- 
gether all  his  chariots,  even  nine 
hundred  chariots  of  iron,  and  all 
the  people  that  were  with  him, 
from  Hct-ro'sheth  of  the  Gen'- 
tiles unto  the  river  of  ^Kl'shon. 

14  And  ^Deb'o-rah  said  unto 
''Ba'rak,  Up;  for  ^this  is  the  day 
in  which  the  Lord  hath  deliv- 
ered Sis'e-ra  into  thine  hand:  is 
not  the  Lord  gone  out  before 
thee  ?  So  Ba'rak  went  down 
from  mount  ''Ta'bor,  and  ten 
thousand  men  after  him. 

15  And  ''the  Lord  discomfited 
Sis'e-ra,    and  all    his   chariots, 

and  all  his  host,  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword  before  ''Ba'rak;  so 
that  Sis'e-ra  lighted  down  off  his 
chariot,  and  fled  away  on  his  feet. 

16  But  ''Ba'rak  pursued  after 
the  chariots,  and  after  the  host, 
unto  Ha-ro'sheth  of  the  Gen'- 
tiles :  and  all  the  host  of  *Sis'e-ra 
fell  upon  the  edge  of  the  sword; 
mid  there  was  not  a  man  left. 

17  Howbeit  *Sis'e-ra  fled  away 
on  his  feet  to  the  tent  of  ''Ja'el

Turn  in,  my  lord,  turn  in  to  me; 
fear  not.  And  when  he  had

she  covered  him  with  a  ^man-

drink;  for  I  am  thirsty.  And  she 
opened  a  bottle  of  ^milk,  and  gave 
him  drink,  and  covered  him. 

20  Again  he  said  unto  her, 
Stand  in  the  door  of  the  tent,  and 
it  shall  be,  when  any  man  doth 
come  and  enquire  of  thee,  and 
say.  Is  there  any  man  here  ?  that 
'"thou  shalt  say.  No. 

21  Then  ''Ja'el  He'ber's  wife 
took  a  nail  of  the  tent,  and  took 
an  hammer  in  her  hand,  and 
went  softly  unto  him,  and  smote 
the  "nail  into  his  temples,  and 
fastened  it  into  the  ground:  for 
he  was  fast  asleep  and  weary.  So 
he  died.

pursued  *Sis'e-n\,  ''Ja'el  came 
out  to  meet  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  Come,  and  I  will  shew  thee

And  when  he  came  into  her  tent, 
behold,  Sis'e-ra  lay  dead,  and 
the  nail  was  in  his  temples.

15  And  the  princes  of  ^Is'sa-

Is'sa-char,  and  also  'Ba'rak:  "he

Gideon  destroys  Baal's  altar,  and  oifers  a

the  city  demand  his  death.  31  Joash 
defends  his  son,  and  calls  him  .Terubbaal. 
3.1  Gideon's  army,  36  The  sign  of  the 
fleece, 

AND  the  children  of  «Is'ra-el 
''did  evil  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord:  and  the  I^ord  '^•''de- 
livered them  into  the  hand  of 
^iNIid'i-an  seven  years. 

2  And  the  haiid  of  ''IMid'i-an 
prevailed  against  Ts'ra-el:  and 
because  of  the  jNlid'i-an-ites  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  made  them 
the  dens  which  arc  in  the  moun- 
tains, and  *caves,  and  ''strong 
holds. 

3  And  so  it  was,  when  "I./ra-el 
had  sown,  that  the  ^Mid'i-an- 
ites  came  up,  and  the  "Am'a-lek- 
Ites,  and  the  children  of  the  east, 
even  they  came  up  against  them ; 

4  And  they  encamped  against 
them,  and  destroyed  the  increase 
of  the  earth,  till  thou  come  unto 
''Ga'/ii,  and  left  no  sustenance 
for  Is'ra-el,  neither  sheep,  nor 
ox,  nor  ass. 

5  For  they  came  up  with  tluur 
cattle  and  their  Hents,  and  they 
came  as  'grasshoppers  for  mul- 


titude; ]or  both  they  and  their 
camels  were  without  number: 
and  they  entered  into  the  land 
to  destroy  it. 

6  And  Is'ra-el  was  greatly  im- 
poveiished  because  of  the  Mid'- 
i-an-ites;  and  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  'cried  unto  the  Lord. 

7  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  children  of  ^I§'ra-el  cried 
unto  the  Lord  because  of  the 
'^]\Iid'i-an-Ites, 

8  That  the  Lord  'sent  a  proph- 
et unto  the  chiklren  of  Is'ra-el, 
which  said  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  (Jod  of  Is'ra-el, 
'"I  brought  you  up  from  E'gypt, 
and  brought  you  forth  out  of  the 
house  of  bondage; 

9  And  '"J.  delivered  you  out  of 
the  haiid  of  the  "E-gyi)'tians, 
and  out  of  the  hand  of  all  that 
oppressed  you,  and  drave  them 
out  from  before  you,  and  gave 
you  their  land ; 

10  And  I  said  unto  you,  "I  am 
the  Lord  your  God;  fear  not  the 
gods  of  the  ^Am'or-Ites,  in  whose 
land  ye  dwell:  but  ye  "have  not 
obeyed  my  voice. 

11^  And  there  came  an  ''angel 
of  the  I.«ORD,  and  sat  under  an 
oak  which  was  in  '^Oph'rah,  that 
pcrfainrd  unto  'Jo'ash  the  A'bi-

be  with  us,  why  then  is  all  this 
befallen  us  ?  and  where  be  all  his 
"miracles  which  our  fathers  told 
us  of,  saying.  Did  not  the  Lord 
bring  us  up  from  E'gypt  ?  but 
"'now  the  Lord  hath  forsaken 
us,  and  delivered  us  into  the 
hands  of  the  *Mid'i-an-ites. 

14  And  the  Lord  looked  upon 
him,  and  said,  ^Go  in  this  thy 
might,  and  thou  shalt  save  Is'- 
ra-el  from  the  hand  of  the  '^^Nlid'- 
i-an-ites :  ^'have  not  I  sent  thee  ? 

15  And  he  said  unto  him,  Oh 
my  Lord,  ^Avherewith  shall  I 
save  Is'ra-el  ?  behold,  ^my  fam- 
ily is  poor  in  °]\Ia-nas'seh,  and 
I  am  the  least  in  my  father's 
house. 

16  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
^him,  Surely  ''I  will  be  with  thee, 

and  thou  shalt  smite  the  jNIid'- 

i-an-ites  as  one  man. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  If 
now  I  have  found  grace  in  thy 
sight,  then  ^shew  me  a  ''sign  that 
thou  talkest  with  me. 

18  Depart  not  hence,  I  pray 
thee,  until  I  come  unto  thee,  and 
bring  forth  my  present,  and  set 
if  before  thee.  And  he  said,  I 
will  tarry  until  thou  come  again. 

19  And  ^Gid'e-on  went  in,  and 
made  ready  a  ^kid,  and  unleav- 
ened cakes  of  an  ''ephah  of  ^flour : 
the  flesh  he  put  in  a  basket,  and 
he  put  the  broth  in  a  pot,  and 
brought  it  out  unto  him  under 
the  oak,  and  presented  it. 

20  And  the  ^angel  of  God  said 
unto  him.  Take  the  flesh  and  the 
unleavened  cakes,  and  lay  tJiem 
upon  this  rock,  and  pour  out  the 
broth.    And  he  did  so. 

21  Then  the  ^angel  of  the 
Lord  put  forth  the  end  of  the 
staff  that  was  in  his  hand,  and 
touched  the  flesh  and  the  un- 


leavened cakes;  and  ''there  rose 
up  fire  out  of  the  rock,  and  con- 
sumed the  flesh  and  the  unleav- 
ened cakes.  Then  the  ano-el  of 
the  Lord  departed  out  of  his 
sight. 

22  And  when  ^Gid'e-on  per- 
ceived that  he  was  an  ''angel  of 
the  Lord,  Gid'e-on  said,  \\las, 
O  Lord  God!  for  because  I 
have  seen  an  angel  of  the  Lord 
face  to  face. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him.  Peace  be  unto  thee;  fear 
not:  thou  shalt  not  die. 

24  Then  ^Gid'e-on  built  an 
■'altar  there  unto  the  Lord,  and 
called  it  Je-ho'vah-sha'lom :  un- 
to this  day  it  is  yet  in  Oph'rah  of 
the  A'bi-ez'rites. 

25  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
same  night,  that  the  Lord  said 
unto  him.  Take  thy  father's 
young  bullock,  even  the  second 
bullock  of  seven  years  old,  and 
throw  down  the  altar  of  ^-'Ba'al 
that  thy  father  hath,  and  cut 
down  the   ■'"grove  that  is  by  it: 

26  And  build  an  %ltar  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God  upon  the  top  of 
this  rock,  in  the  ''ordered  place, 
and  take  the  second  bullock,  and 
offer  a  burnt  '"sacrifice  with  the 
wood  of  the  ■'"grove  which  thou 
shalt  cut  down. 

27  Then  ^Gid'e-on  "-"took  ten 
men  of  his  servants,  and  ^did  as 
the  Lord  had  said  unto  him: 
and  so  it  was,  because  he  feared 
his  father's  household,  and  the 
men  of  the  city,  that  he  could  not 
do  it  by  day,  that  he  did  it  by 
night. 

28  T[  And  when  the  men  of  the 
city  arose  early  in  the  morning, 
behold,  the  altar  of  ^Ba'al  was 
''cast  down;  and  the  ■'•grove  was

second  bullock  was  offered  upon 
the  'altar  that  was  built. 

29  And  they  said  one  to  an- 
other, Who  hath  done  tnis 
thing  ?  And  when  they  enquired 
and  asked,  they  said,  ^Gid'e-on 
the  son  of  ''Jo'ash  hath  done  this 
thing'. 

30  Then  the  men  of  the  city 
said  unto  ''Jo'ash,  *Bring  out  thy 
son,  that  he  may  die:  because  he 
hath  cast  down  the  altar  of 
Ba'al,  and  because  he  hath  cut 
down  the  grove  that  tvas  by  it. 

31  And  Jo'Ssh  said  unto  all  that 
stood  against  him,  Will  ye  plead 
for  ^Ba'al  ?  will  ye  save  him  ?  he 
that  will  plead  for  him,  let  him 
be  put  to  death  whilst  if  is  yet 
morning:  'if  he  be  a  god,  let  him 
plead  for  himself,  because  one 
hath  cast  down  his  altar. 

32  Therefore  on  that  day  he 
•-•ailed  him  Je-rub'ba-al,  sa}'ing. 
Let  Ba'al  plead  against  him,  be- 
cause he  hath  thrown  down  his 
altar. 

33  If  Then  all  the  "jNIid'i-an- 
Ites  and  the  "Am'a-lek-Ites  and 
the  children  of  the  east  were 
gathered  together,  and  went 
over,  and  pitched  in  the  valley  of 
""Jez're-el. 

34  But  the  ^Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  ^Gid'e-on,  and  he 
blew  a  ^trumpet;  and  ^\'bi-e'zcr 
was  "gathered  after  him. 

35  And  ^he  sent  messengers 
throughout  all  ''^NLl-nris'seh ;  who 
also  was  gathered  after  him:  and 
he  sent  messengers  unto  '^Ash'er, 
and  unto  ''Zeb'u-lun,  and  unto 
'^Naph'ta-ll;  and  they  came  up 
to  meet  them. 

30  ^  And  ^Gid'e-on  said  unto 
God,  f-«l{  thou  wilt  save  Ls'ra-el 
I)y  mine  hand,  as  thou  hast  said, 

37  Behold,  I  will  jnit  a  fleece  of 
"wool  in  the  floor;  and  ''if  the 
A.t./.Ajy^y  be  on  the  fleece  only, 


and  it  be  dry  upon  all  the  earth 
beside,  then  shall  I  know  that 
thou  wilt  save  Is'ra-el  by  mine 
hand,  as  thou  hast  said. 

38  And  it  was  so:  for  he  'rose 
up  early  on  the  morrow,  and 
thrust  the  fleece  together,  and 
wringed  the  ''dew  out  of  the 
fleece,  a  bowl  full  of  water. 

39  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto 
God,  '"I^et  not  thine  anger  be  hot 
against  me,  and  I  will  speak  but 
this  once:  ^let  me  prove,  I  pray 
thee,  but  this  once  with  the 
fleece;  let  it  now  be  dry  only  up- 
on the  fleece,  and  upon  all  the 
ground  let  there  be  tlew. 

40  And  God  did  so  that  night: 
for  it  was  'dry  upon  the  fleece 
only,  and  there  was  dew  on  all 
the  ground. 

CHAPTER  7 

Gideon's  army  of  thirty-two  thousand  is 
reduced  to  three  hundred.  9  He  is  en- 
couraged by  the  dream  and  interpretation 
of  the  barley  cake.  15  //i.s'  stratagem  of

THEN  Je-rub'ba-al,  who  is 
"Gid'e-on,  and  all  the  ''peo- 
ple that  were  with  him,  'rose 
up  early,  and  pitched  beside  the 
Hvell  of  Ila'rod:  so  that  the  host 
of  the  ''Mid'i-an-ites  were  on  the 
north  side  of  them,  by  the  hill  of 
]Md'reh,  in  the  valley. 

2  And  '^the  Lord  said  unto 
"(iid'e-on,  The  ''people  that  are 
with  thee  are  too  many  for  me  to 
give  the  '^Mid'i-an-Ites  into  their 
hands,  lest  I.^'ra-el  vaunt  them- 
selves against  me,  ^saying,  Mine 
own  hand  hath  saved  me. 

3  Now  therefore  go  to,  pro- 
claim in  the  ears  of  the  people, 
saying,  ''Whosoever  is  'fearful 
and  afraid,  let  him  return  and 
depart  early  from  mount  'Gil'e- 
ad.  And  there  returned  of  the 
people  twenty  and  two  thou-

thousand.

4  And  '^the  Lord  said  unto 
"Gid'e-on,  The  people  are  yet  too 
many;  bring  them  down  unto  tiie 
water,  and  I  will  try  them  for 
thee  there :  and  it  shall  be,  that  of 
whom  I  say  unto  thee,  This  shall 
go  with  thee,  the  same  shall  go 
with  thee;  and  of  whomsoever  I 
say  unto  thee.  This  shall  not  go 
with  thee,  the  same  shall  not  go. 

5  So  he  brought  down  the 
people  unto  the  water:  and 
the  Lord  said  unto  "Gid'e-on, 
Every  one  that  lappeth  of  the 
water  with  his  tongue,  as  a  dog 
lappeth,  him  shalt  thou  set  by 
himself;  likewise  every  one  that 
boweth  down  upon  his  knees  to 
drink. 

6  And  the  number  of  them  that 
lapped,  putfhig  their  hand  to 
their  mouth,  were  three  hun- 
dred men:  but  all  the  rest  of  the 
people  bowed  down  upon  their 
knees  to  drink  water. 

7  And  ^the  Lord  said  unto 
Gid'e-on,  By  the  three  hundred 
men  that  lapped  will  ^I  save  you, 
and  deliver  the  '^Mid'I-an-ites 
into  thine  hand:  and  let  all  the 
other  people  go  every  man  unto 
his  place. 

8  So  the  people  took  victuals  in 
their  hand,  and  their  ^trumpets: 
and  he  sent  all  the  rest  of  Is'ra-el 
every  man  unto  his  tent,  and  re- 
tained those  three  hundred  men : 
and  the  host  of  MkKi-an  was  be- 
neath him  in  the  valley. 

9  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
same  night,  that  the  Lord  said 
unto  him.  Arise,  get  thee  down 
unto  the  host;  for  *•"'!  have  de- 
livered it  into  thine  hand. 

10  But  if  thou  fear  to  go  down, 
go  thou  with  Phu'rah  thy  serv- 
ant down  to  the  host: 

11  And  thou  shalt  hear  what 
they  say;  and  afterward  shall 
thine  hands  be  strencthened  to 


go  down  unto  the  host.  Then 
went  he  down  with  PhQ'rah  his 
servant  unto  the  outside  of  the 
armed  men  that  were  in  the  host. 

12  And  the  '^Mid'i-an-ites  and 
the  '^Am'a-lek-ites  and  all  the 
children  of  the  east  lay  along  in 
the  valley  like  "grasshoppers  for 
multitude;  and  their  camels  tvei-e 
without  number,  as  the  sand  by 
the  sea  side  for  multitude. 

13  And  when  '^Gid'e-on  was 
come,  behold,  there  was  a  man 
that  told  a  "dream  unto  his  fel- 
low, and  said.  Behold,  I  dream- 
ed 9.  dream,  and,  lo,  a  cake  of 
barley  ^bread  tumbled  into  the 
host  of  Mid'i-an,  and  came  unto 
a  tent,  and  smote  it  that  it  fell, 
and  overturned  it,  that  the  tent 
lay  along. 

14  And  his  fellow  answered  and 
said,  Tliis  is  nothing  else  save 
the  sword  of  Gid'e-on  the  son  of 
'Jo'ash,  a  man  of  Is'ra-el:  form- 
to  his  hand  hath  God  delivered 
jVIid'i-an,  and  all  the  host. 

15  ^  And  it  was  so,  when  "Gid'- 
e-on  heard  the  telling  of  the 
"dream,  and  the  interpretation 
thereof,  that  he  worshipped,  and 
returned  into  the  host  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  said.  Arise;  for  the  Lord 
hath  delivered  into  your  hand 
the  host  of  Mid'i-an. 

16  And  he  ^divided  the  three 
hundred  men  into  three  com- 
panies, and  he  put  a  'trumpet  in 
every  man's  hand,  with  empty 
'■pitchers,  %nd  lamps  within  the 
pitchers. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them. 
Look  on  me,  and  do  likewise: 
and,  behold,  when  I  come  to  the 
outside  of  the  camp,  it  shall  be 
that,  as  I  do,  so  shall  ye  do. 

18  When  I  blow  with  a  'trump- 
et, I  and  all  that  are  with  me, 
then  blow  ye  the  trumpets  also 
on  every  side  of  all  the  camp.

19  ^  So  °Gid'e-on,  and  the  hun- 
dred men  that  were  with  him, 
came  unto  the  outside  of  the 
camp  in  the  beginning  of  the 
middle  ^watch;  and  they  had  but 
newly  set  the  watch:  and  they 
blew  the  ^trumpets,  and  brake 
the  '■pitchers  that  were  in  their 
hands. 

20  And  the  three  companies 
blew  the  'trumpets,  and  brake 
the  '■pitchers,  and  held  the 
^lamps  in  their  left  hands,  and 
the  'trumpets  in  their  right  hands

21  And  they  stood  every  man  in 
his  place  round  about  the  camp: 
and  all  the  host  ran  and  "cried, 
and  fled. 

22  And  the  three  hundred  blew 
the  trumpets,  and  the  "Lord  set 
every  man's  sword  against  his 
fellow,  even  throughout  all  the 
host:  and  the  host  'fled  to 
Beth-shit'tah  in  Zer'e-rath,  and 
to  the  border  of  "'A'bel-me-

28  And  the  men  of  Ls'ra-el 
gathered  themselves  together  out 
of  ^Naph'ta-ll,  and  out  of  ^Ash'- 
er,  and  out  of  all  'Ma-nas'seh 
and  pursued  after  the  Mid'i-an-

take  before  them  the  waters

Then  all  the  men  of  *E'phra-Tm 
gathered  themselves  together, 
and  took  the  waters  unto  Beth-

25  And  they  took  two  ''princes

and  "'Zal-miin'na  now  in  thine 
hand,  that  we  should  give  bread 
unto  thine  army  ? 

7  And  *Gid'e-on  said,  There- 
fore when  the  Lord  hath  dehv- 
ered  '"Ze'bah  and  '"Zal-mun'na 
into  mine  hand,  then  I  will  "tear 
your  flesh  with  the  thorns  of  the 
wilderness  and  with  briers. 

8  And  *he  went  up  thence  to 
"Pe-nu'el,  and  spake  unto  them 
likewise :  and  the  men  of  Pe-nu'- 
el  answered  him  as  the  men  of 

Suc'eoth  had  answered  him. 

9  And  *he  spake  also  unto  the 
men  of  Pe-nu'el,  saying,  When 
I  come  again  in  peace,  I  will 
"break  down  this  ^tower. 

10  TI  Now  '"Ze'bah  and  '"Zal- 
mun'na  were  in  Kar'kor,  and 
their  hosts  with  them,  about  fif- 
teen thousand  men,  all  that  were 
left  of  all  the  hosts  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  east :  for  there  fell  an 
hundred  and  twenty  thousand 
men  that  drew  sworfl. 

1 1  T[  And  *Gid'e-on  went  up  by 
the  way  of  them  that  dwelt  in 
tents  on  the  east  of  No'bah  and 
"Jog'be-hah,  and  smote  the  host: 
for  the  host  was  secure. 

12  And  when  "'Ze'bah  and 
'"Zal-mun'na  fled,  he  pursued 
after  them,  and  took  the  two 
kings  of  jNIkl'i-an,  Ze'bah  and 
Zal-mun'na,  and  discomfited  all 
the  host. 

13  T[  And  *Gid'e-on  the  son  of 
'■Jd'ash  returned  from  battle  Mjc- 
fore  the  sun  was  ujj, 

14  And  caught  a  young  man  of 
the  men  of  *Suc'coth,  and  en- 
quired of  him:  and  he  described 
unto  him  the  ^princes  of  Suc'- 
coth,  and  the  ^elders  thereof,  even 
threescore  and  seventeen  men. 

15  And  he  came  unto  the  men 
of  *Suc'coth,  and  said,  Behokl 
"'Ze'bah  and  "'Zal-mun'nd,  with 
whom  ye  did  upbraid  me,  say- 


ing. Are  the  hands  of  Ze'bah  and 
Zal-mun'na  now  in  thine  hand, 
that  we  should  give  bread  unto 
thy  men  that  are  weary  ? 

16  And  he  took  the  elders  of  the 
city,  and  thorns  of  the  wilder- 
ness and  briers,  and  with  them 
he  taught  the  men  of  Siic'coth. 

17  And  he  beat  down  the  ^tower 
of  °Pe-nu'eI,  and  "slew  the  men 
of  the  city. 

18  T[  Then  said  he  unto  '"Ze'- 
bah and  '"Zal-miin'na,  What 
manner  of  men  were  they  whom 
ye  slew  at  '''Ta'bor  ?  And  they 
answered.  As  thou  art,  so  were 
they;  each  one  resembled  the 
children  of  a  king. 

19  And  he  said.  They  were  my 
brethren,  even  the  sons  of  my 
mother:  as  the  Lord  Hveth,  if 
ye  had  saved  them  alive,  I  would 
not  slay  yoii. 

20  And  he  said  unto  Je'ther 
his  firstborn.  Up,  and  slay  them. 
But  the  youth  drew  not  his 
sword:  for  he  feared,  because 
he  was  yet  a  youth. 

21  Then  "'Ze'bah  and  '"Zal- 
mun'na  said.  Rise  thou,  and  fall 
upon  us:  for  as  the  man  is,  so 
is  his  strength.  And  *Gid'e-on 
arose,  and  '^•"slew  Ze'bah  and 
Zal-mun'na,  and  took  -away  the 
ornaments  that  were  on  their 
camels'  necks. 

22  Tf  Then  the  men  of  I.s'ra-el 
^'said  unto  ''Gid'e-on,  Rule  thou 
over  us,  both  thou,  and  thy  son, 
and  thy  son's  son  also:  "for  thou 
hast  delivered  us  from  the  hand 
of  INIid'i-an. 

23  And  ''•'"Gid'e-on  said  unto 
them,  I  will  not  rule  over  you, 
neither  shall  my  son  rule  over 
you:  ^'  ^the  Lord  shall  rule  over 
you. 

24  And  *Gid'e-on  said  unto

you,  that  ye  would  give  me  every

(For  they  had  golden  earrings, 
because  they  were  ^Ish'ma-el-

25  And  ''they  answered,  "Wi- 
will  willingly  give  them.  And 
they  spread  a  garment,  and  did 
cast  therein  every  man  the  ^ear- 
rings of  his  prey. 

2G  And  the  weight  of  the  golden 
^earrings  that  he  requested  was 
a  thousand  and  seven  hundred 
"shekels  of  *gold;  beside  ^orna- 
ments, and  ^collars,  and  ''purple 
raiment  that  was  on  the  kings  of 
]Mid'i-an,  and  beside  the  ''chains 
that  were  about  their  camels' 
necks. 

27  And  '^Gid'e-on  made  an 
^ephod  thereof,  and  put  it  in  his 
city,  even  in  "Oph'rah:  and  all 
Is'ra-el  went  thither  a  whoring 
after  it:  which  thing  became  a 
''snare  unto  Gid'e-on,  and  to  his 
house. 

28  If  Thus  was  *Mid'i-an  sub- 
dued before  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  so  that  they  lifted  up  their 
heads  no  more.  And  the  country 
was  in  quietness  ^forty  years  in 
the  days  of  GkKe-on. 

29  And  ^Je-riib'ba-al  the  son  of 
Jo'ash  went  and  dwelt  in  his 
own  house. 

30  And  ^Gid'e-ou  had  three- 
score and  ten  sons  of  his  body  be- 
gotten: for  he  had  '^'many  wives. 

31  And  his  'concubine  that  tvas 
in  '"She'chem,  she  also  bare  him 
a  son,  whose  name  he  called 
"A-l>Tm'e-lech. 

32  And  *(Md'e-on  the  son  of 
Jo'ash  died  in  a  good  "old  age, 
and  was  buried  in  the  sepulchre 
of  Jo'a.sh  his  father,  in  Oph'rah 
of  the  A'by-e//rltes. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  ''Gid'e-on  was  dead,  that 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  ^turned 
again,  and  went  a  whoring  after 
Ba'al-Tm,  and  made  *Ba'al-be'- 
rith  their  god.

34  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
'■remembered  not  the  Lord 
their  God,  *who  had  delivered 
them  out  of  the  hands  of  all  their 
enemies  on  every  side: 

35  'Neither  shewed  they  kind- 
ness to  the  house  of  Je-rub'ba-al, 
namely,  ^Gid'e-on,  according  to 
all  the  goodness  which  he  had 
shewed  unto  Is'ra-el.

Abimclech  overcomes  them,  and  sows  the 
city  with  salt.  46  He  btirns  the  hold  of 
the  god  Berilh.  50  At  Thebes  lie  is  slain

'^She'chem  unto  his  mother's 
brethren,  and  communed  with 
them,  and  with  all  the  family  of 
the  house  of  his  mother's  father, 
saying, 

2  ''Speak,  I  pray  you,  in  the 
ears  of  all  the  men  of  She'chem, 
\Vhether  is  better  for  you,  either 
that  all  tlie  sons  of  Je-riib'ba-al, 
which  are  threescore  and  ten 
persons,  reign  over  you,  or  tliat 
one  reign  over  you  ?  remember 
also  that  I  am  your  bone  and

3  And  his  mother's  brethren 
spake  of  him  in  the  ears  of  all 
the  men  of  She'chcin  all  these 
words:  and  their  hearts  inclined 
to  follow  A-bim'e-lech ;  for  they 
said,  He  is  our  brother.

gathered  together,  and  all  the 
house  of  Mil'lo,  and  went,  and 
made  "xl-bim'e-lech  king,  by  the 
^plain  of  the  ^pillar  that  tvas  in

7  And  when  they  told  it  to

the  top  of  mount  ''Ger'i-zim,  and 
lifted  up  his  voice,  and  cried,

unto  me,  ye  men  of  "^She'chem, 
that  God  may  hearken  unto  you.

a  time  to  "anoint  a  king  over

them,  Should  1  leave  my  fatness, 
wherewith  by  me  they  honour 
God  and  man,  and  go  to  ^be 
promoted   over  the  trees  ? 

10  .\nd  the  trees  said  to  the  ^fig 
tree,  Come  thou,  and  reign  over 
us. 

11  But  the  *fig  tree  said  unto 
them.  Should  I  forsake  my 
sweetness,  and  my  good  fruit, 
and  go  to  ^be  promoted  over  the 
trees  ? 

12  Then  said  tlie  trees  unto 
the  ''vine,  Come  thou,  and  reign 
over  us. 

13  And  the  'vine  said  unto 
them.  Should  I  leave  my  wine, 
which  cheereth  God  and  man, 
and  go  to^be  promoted  over  the

14  Then  said  all  the  trees  unto

put  your  trust  in  my  shadow: 
and  if  not,  let  fire  come  out  of

cedars  of  ^Leb'a-non.

done     truly    and   ^sincerely,    in 


that  ye  have  made  "A-bim'e-lech

with  "Je-rub'ba-al  and  his 
house,  and  have  done  unto  him 
according  to  the  deserving  of  his 
hands;

and  have  made  A-bim'e-lcch, 
the  son  of  his  maidservant,  king

19  If  ye  then  have  dealt  truly

and  with  his  house  this  day,  then 
rejoice  ye  in  A-bim'e-lech,  and

out  from  the  men  of  She'chem, 
and  from  the  house  of  JNIil'lo,

fled,  and  went  to  Be'er,  and 
dwelt  there,  for  fear  of  A-bim'e-

top  of  the  mountains,  and  tliev 
^robbed  all  that  caine  along  that 
Avay  by  them:  and  it  was  told 
A-bim'e-Iech. 

26  And  Ga^al  the  son  of  E'bed 
came  with  his  brethren,  and 
went  over  to  She'ehem :  and  the 
men  of  She'chem  put  their  con- 
fidence in  him. 

27  And  they  went  out  into  the 
fields,  and  ^gathered  their  vine- 
yards, and  trode  the  '"grapes, 
and  made  merry,  and  went  into 
the  house  of  their  "god,  and 
did  eat  and  drink,  and  cursed 
^A-bim'e-lech. 

28  And  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed 
said.  Who  is  A-bim'e-lech,  and 
who  is  "She'chem,  that  we 
should  serve  him  ?  is  not  lie  the 
son  of  ^  Je-rub'ba-al  ?  and  Ze'bul 
his  officer  ?  serve  the  men  of 
^Ha'mor  the  father  of  She'chem : 
for  why  should  we  serve  him  ? 

29  And  would  to  God  this  peo- 
ple were  under  my  hand!  then 
would  I  remove  A-bim'e-lech. 
And  he  said  to  A-bim'e-lech,  In- 
crease thine  army,  and  come  out. 

30  ^  And  when  Ze'bul  the  ruler 
of  the  city  heard  the  words  of 
Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed  his  %ne;er 
was  kindled. 

31  And  he  sent  messengers  un- 
to ^A-bim'e-lech  ^privily,  saying, 
Behold,  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed 
and  his  brethren  be  come  to 
''She'chem;  and,  behold,  they 
^fortify  the  city  against  thee. 

32  Now  therefore  ''up  by  night, 
thou  and  the  people  that  is  with 
thee,  and  ^lie  in  wait  in  the  field: 

33  And  it  shall  be,  tluit  in  the 
morning,  as  soon  as  the  sun  is 
up,  thou  shalt  rise  early,  and  set 
upon  the  city:  and,  behold,  wlten 
he  and  the  people  that  is  with 
him  come  out  against  thee,  then 
mayest  thou  do  to  them  as  thou 
shalt  find  occasion. 

34  Tf  And  ^\-bim'e-lech  rose 
up,  and  all  the  people  that  were 


with  him,  l)y  night,  and  they 
^laid  wait  against  ''She'chem  in 
four  companies. 

35  And  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed 
went  out,  and  stood  in  the  enter- 
ing of  the  gate  of  the  city:  and 
A-bim'e-lech  rose  up,  and  the 
people  that  were  with  him,  from 
'lying  in  wait. 

36  And  when  Ga'al  saw  the 
people,  he  said  to  Ze'bul,  Be- 
hold, there  come  people  down 
from  the  top  of  the  mountains. 
And  Ze'bul  said  unto  him,  Thou 
seest  the  shadow  of  the  moun- 
tains as  if  they  were  men. 

37  And  Ga'al  spake  again  and 
said,  See  there  come  pe(jple 
down  by  the  middle  of  the  land, 
and  another  company  \'0!ne 
along  by  the  plain  of  Me-on'e- 
nim. 

38  Then  said  Ze'bul  unto  him, 
Where  is  now  thy  mouth,  where- 
with thou  saidst.  Who  is  A-bim'- 
e-lech,  that  we  should  serve 
him  ?  is  not  this  the  people  that 
thou  hast  despised  ?  go  out,  I 
pray  now,  and  fight  with  them. 

39  And  Ga'al  went  out  be- 
fore the  men  of  She'chem,  and 
fought  with  '^A-bim'e-lech. 

40  And  ''A-bim'e-lech  chased 
him,  and  he  fled  before  him, 
and  many  were  overthrown  and 
wounded,  even  unto  the  entering 
of  the  gate. 

41  And  ^A-bim'e-lech  dwelt  at 
A-ru'mah :  and  Ze'bul  thrust  out 
Ga'al  and  his  brethren,  that  they 
should  not  dwell  in  "She'chem. 

42  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  people  went 
out  into  the  field;  and  they  told 
^A-bim'e-lech. 

43  And  he  took  the  people,  and 
''divided  them  into  three  com- 
panies, and  '•'^laid  wait  in  the 
field,  and  looked,  and,  behold, 
the  people  were  come  forth  out 
of  the  city;  and  he  rose  up 
against  them,  and  smote  them.

44  And  'A-bim'e-lgch,  and  ''the 
company  that  was  with  him, 
rushed  forward,  and  stood  in  the 
entering  of  the  gate  of  the  city: 
and  ''the  two  other  companies 
ran  upon  all  the  people  that  were 
in  the  fields,  and  slew  them. 

45  And  A-bim'e-lech  fought 
against  *the  city  all  that  day; 
and  he  took  the  city,  and  slew 
the  people  that  was  therein,  and 
beat  down  the  city,  and  sowed  it 
with  salt. 

46  T[  And  when  all  the  men  of 
the  'tower  of  ''She'chem  heard 
that,  they  entered  into  an  hold  of 
the  house  of  the  'god  "Be'rith. 

47  And  it  was  told  ^A-bim'e- 
l6ch,  that  all  the  men  of  the 
tower  of  She'chem  were  gath- 
ered together. 

48  And  'A-bim'e-lech  gat  him 
up  to  mount  "^'Zal'mon,  he  and 
all  the  people  that  tvere  with 
him;  and  A-bim'e-lech  took  an 
ax  in  his  hand,  and  cut  down  a 
bough  from  the  trees,  and  took 
it,  and  laid  it  on  his  shoulder, 
and  said  unto  the  people  that 
were  with  him.  What  ye  have 
seen  me  do,  make  haste,  and  do 
as  I  have  done. 

49  x\nd  all  the  people  likewise 
cut  down  every  man  his  bough, 
and  followed  A-bim'e-lcch,  and 
put  them  to  the  hold,  and  set  the 
hold  on  fire  upon  them;  so  that 
all  the  men  of  the  tower  of 
She'chem  died  also,  about  a 
thousand  men  and  women. 

50  Tf  Then  went  'A-bim'e-lech 
to  "^The'bfiz,  and  encamped 
against  The'bez,  and  took  it. 

51  But  there  was  a  strong  iower 
within  the  city,  and  thither  fled 
all  the  men  and  women,  and  all 
they  of  the  city,  and  shut  Ht  to 
them,  and  gat  them  up  to  the 
top  of  the  tower. 


52  And  'A-bim'e-lech  came  un- 
to the  tower,  and  fought  against 
it,  and  went  hard  unto  the  door 
of  the  tower  to  burn  it  with  fire. 

53  And  a  certain  -^woman  ^cast 
•^a  piece  of  a  millstone  upon 
A-bim'e-lech's  head,  and  all  to 
brake  his  scull. 

54  Then  he  called  hastily  unto 
the  young  man  his  'armour- 
bearer,  and  said  unto  him,  Draw 
thy  sword,  and  slay  me,  that 
men  say  not  of  me,  A  woman 
slew  him.  And  his  young  man 
thrust  him  through,  and  he  died. 

55  And  when  the  men  of  Is'- 
ra-el  saw  that  A-bim'e-l6ch  was 
dead,  they  departed  every  man 
unto  his  place. 

56  Tf  Thus  God  ^- ^-rendered 
the  wickedness  of  A-bim'e-lech, 
which  he  did  unto  his  father,  in 
slaying  his  seventy  brethren: 

57  And  all  the  evil  of  the  men  of 
She'chem  did  God^°-^rendcr  up- 
on their  heads:  and  upon  them 
came  the  curse  of  Jo'tham  the 
son  of  Je-rub'ba-S,l.

7  And  the  "anger  of  the  Lord 
was  hot  against  Is'ra-el,  and 
^he  sold  them  into  the  hands  of 
the  "'Phi-lis'tines,  and  unto  the 
hands  of  the  'children  of  Am'-

8  And  that  year  they  vexed  and 
''oppressed  the  children  of  Is'-

dren of  Ls'ra-el  that  were  on  the 
other  side  ''Jor'dan  in  the  land 
of  the  *Ani'6f-Ttcs,  which  is  in 
'Oil'e-ad. 

9  JNIoreover  the  'children  of 
Am'mon  passed  over  ''Jor'dan  to 
fight  also  against  'Ju'dah,  and 
against  "Ben'ja-min,  and  against 
the  house  of  "E'phrii-im;  so  that 
Is'ra-el  was  sore  distressed. 

10  T[  And  the  children  of  "'Is'-

ing, ^We  have  sinned  against

cried  to  me,  and  I  Melivered  you

14  'Go  and  cry  unto  the  'gods 
which  ye  have  chosen;  let  them 
deliver  you  in  the  time  of  your 
^tribulation. 

15  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
said  unto  the  Lord,  *''We  have

themselves  together,  and  en- 
camped in  Miz'peh.

an  harlot:  and  Gil'e-S,d  begat 
Jeph'thah. 

2  And  Gil'e-ad's  wife  bare  him 
sons;  and  his  wife's  sons  grew 
up,  and  they  ^thrust  out  Jeph'- 
thah,  and  said  unto  him,  Thou 
shalt  not  inherit  in  our  father's 
house ;  for  thou  art  the  son  of  ^a 
strange  woman. 

3  Then  Jeph'thah  fled  from 
his  brethren,  and  dwelt  in  the 
land  of  ^Tob:  and  there  were 
gathered  vain  men  to  Jeph'- 
thah, and  went  out  with  him. 

4  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  pro- 
cess of  time,  that  the  '^children 
of  Am'mon  made  war  against 
Ls'ra-el. 

5  And  it  was  so,  that  when  the 
children  of  Am'mon  made  war 
against  Ls'ra-el,  the  ''•Mdei's  of 
''Gil'e-S.d  went  to  fetch  Jeph'- 
thah out  of  the  land  of  Tob: 

6  And  they  said  unto  *Jeph'- 
thah,  Come,  and  be  our  captain, 
that  we  may  fight  with  the 
'^children  of  Am'mon. 

7  And  Ji^ph'thah  said  unto  the 
elders  of  Gil'e-ad,  Did  not  ye 
hate  me,  and  expel  me  out  of  my 
father's  house  ?  and  why  are  ye 
come  unto  me  now  when  ye  are 
in  distress  ? 

8  And  the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad 
said  unto  *Jeph'thah,  Therefore 
we  turn  again  to  thee  now,  that 
thou  mayest  go  with  us,  and 
fight  against  the  '^children  of 
Am'mon,  and  be  our  head  over 
all  the  inhabitants  of  Gil'e-ad. 

9  And  *  Jeph'thah  said  unto  the 
elders  of  Gil'e-ad,  If  ye  bring  me 
home  again  to  fight  against  the 
'^children  of  Am'mon,  and  the 
Lord  deliver  them  before  me, 
shall  I  be  your  head  ? 

10  And  the  ^elders  of  Gil'e-ad 
said  unto  *  Jeph'thah,  '^The 
Lord  be  witness  between  us,  if 


we  do  not  so  according  to  thy 
words. 

11  Then  *  Jeph'thah  went  with 
the  elders  of  Gil'e-3,d,  and  the 
people  made  him  head  and  cap- 
tain over  them:  and  Jeph'thah 
uttered  all  his  words  before  the 
Lord  in  Miz'peh. 

12  1[  And  *Jeph'thah  %ent 
'messengers  unto  the  king  of 
the  '^cliildren  of  Am'mon,  saying, 
What  hast  thou  to  do  with  me, 
that  thou  art  come  against  me 
to  fight  in  my  land  ? 

13  And  the  king  of  the  '^chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  answered  unto 
the  messengers  of  *Jeph'thah, 
Because  ^I§'ra-el  took  away  my 
land,  when  they  came  up  out  of 
'E'gypt,  from  "'Ar'non  even  un- 
to " Jab'bok,  and  unto  "Jor'dan : 
now  therefore  restore  those  la7ids 
again  peaceably. 

14  And  *Jeph'thah  sent  'mes- 
sengers again  unto  the  king  of 
the  '^children  of  Am'mon: 

15  And  said  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  *  Jeph'thah,  *Is'ra-el  took 
not  away  the  land  of  ^Mo'ab, 
nor  the  land  of  the  ''children  of 
Am'mon : 

16  But  when  ^I§'ra-el  came  up 
from  E'gypt,and  walked  through 
the  wilderness  unto  the  *Red  sea, 
and  came  to  '^Ka'desh : 

17  Then  *Is'ra-el  sent  'messen- 
gers unto  the  king  of  *E'dom, 
saying,  Let  me,  I  pray  thee,  pass 
through  thy  land :  but  the  king  of 
E'dom  would  not  hearken  there- 
io.  And  in  like  manner  they  sent 
unto  the  king  of  ^Mo'ab:  but  he 
would  not  consent:  and  Is'ra-el 
abode  in  ''Ka'desh. 

18  Then  they  went  along 
through  the  wilderness,  and 
compassed  the  land  of  *E'dom, 
and  the  land  of  ^Mo'ab,  and 
came  by  the  east  side  of  the  land

not  within  the  border  of  iNId'ab: 
for  Ar'non  was  the  border  of 
INIo'ab. 

19  And  ^l,s'ra-el  sent  messen- 
gers unto  "Si'hon  king  of  the 
Am'or-Ites,  the  king  of  Hesh'- 
bon ;  and  Is'ra-el  said  unto  him, 
Let  us  pass,  we  pray  thee, 
through  thy  land  into  my  place. 

20  But  "Si'hoii  trusted  not  Is'- 
ra-el  to  pass  through  his  "coast: 
but  Sl'hon  gathered  all  his  peo- 
ple together,  and  pitched  in  ^  Ja'- 
haz,  and  fought  against  Ls'ra-el. 

21  And  the  "Lord  God  of  I.s'- 
ra-cl  delivered  "Sl'hon  and  all 
his  people  into  the  hand  of  I.s'- 
ra-el,  and  they  smote  them:  so 
Ls'ra-el  possessed  all  the  land  of 
the  "'Am'or-ites,  the  inhabitants 
of  that  country. 

22  And  they  possessed  all  the 
^coasts  of  the  Am'or-Ites,  from 
""Ar'non  even  unto  "Jab'bok, 
and  from  the  w^ilderness  even 
unto  "Jor'dan. 

23  So  now  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el  hath  dispossessed  the 
"'Am'or-Itcs  from  before  his  peo- 
ple Is'ra-el,  and  shouldest  thou 
possess   it  ? 

24  Wilt  not  ^thou  possess  that 
which  ^Che'mosh  thy  god  giveth 
thee  to  possess  ?  So  whomsoever 
the  Lord  our  God  ^'shall  drive 
out  from  before  us,  them  will 
we  possess. 

25  And  now  art  thou  any  thing 
better  than  ^Ba'lak  the  son  of 
Zip'por,  king  of  'Mo'ab  ?  did  he 
ever  strive  against  ''^Is'ra-el,  or 
did  he  ever  fight  against  them, 

26  While  ^Is'ra-el  dwelt  in 
Ilesh'bon  and  her  towns,  and  in 
^A.r'6-er  and  her  towns,  and  in 
all  the  cities  that  he  along  by  the 
'coasts  of  Ar'non,  three  hundred 


years  ?  why  therefore  did  ye  not 
recover  them  within  that  time  ? 

27  W'herefore  I  have  not  sinned 
against  thee,  but  thou  doest  me 
wrong  to  war  against  me:  the 
Lord  the  "Judge  be  judge  this 
day  between  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el aiultiie  children  of  Am'mon. 

28  riowbeit  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon  hearkened 
not  unto  the  words  of  *Jeph'- 
thah  which  he  sent  him. 

29  \  Then  the  "Spirit  of  the 
Lord  came  upon  *J6ph'tliah, 
and  he  passed  over  '^Gil'e-ad, 
and  '^Ma-nas'seh,  and  passed 
over  Miz'peh  of  Gil'e-ad,  and 
from  Aliz'peh  of  Gil'e-ad  he 
passed  over  iinto  the  '^children 
of  Am'mon. 

30  And  *Jeph'thah  ''^vowed  a 
^'vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  said, 
If  thou  shalt  without  fail  deliver 
the  ^children  of  Am'mon  into 
mine  hands, 

31  Then  it  shall  be,  that  what- 
soever Cometh  forth  of  the  doors 
of  my  house  to  meet  me,  when  I 
return  in  peace  from  the  children 
of  Am'mon,  'shall  surely  be  the 
Lord's,  and  I  will  offer  it  up 
for  a  'burnt  ofTering. 

32  ^  So  *  Jcph'thah  passed  over 
unto  the  '^children  of  Am'mon  to 
fightagainstthem  ;and  the''LoRD 
delivered  them  into  his  hands. 

33  And  he  smote  them  from 
'Ar'6-er,  even  till  thou  come  to 
Min'nith,  even  twenty  cities,  and 
unto  the  plain  of  the  vineyards, 
with  a  very  great  slaughter. 
Thus  the  '^children  of  Am'mon 
were  subdued  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Ts'ra-el.

35  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  saw  her,  that  he  *rent  his

very  low,  and  thou  art  one  of

mouth  unto  the  Lord,  do  to  me 
according  to  that  which  hath 
proceeded  out  of  thy  mouth; 
forasmuch  as  the  '^Lord  hath 
taken  vengeance  for  thee  of 
thine  enemies,  even  of  the  ^chil-

sent  her  away  ]or  two  months: 
and  *''she  went  with  her  com- 
panions, and  bewailed  her  "vir- 
ginity upon  the  mountains. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  two  months,  that  she  re- 
turned unto  her  father,  who  did 
with  her  according  to  his  ''vow 
which  he  had  vowed:  and  she 
knew  no  man.  And  it  was  a 
custom  in  Ls'ra-el, 

40  That  the  daughters  of  I§'- 
ra-el  went  yearly  to  'lament  the 
daughter  of  Jeph'thah  the  Gil'-

AND    °the  "men    of  '^E'phra-

together,   and  went  northward. 


and  said  unto  '^Jeph'thah, 
Wherefore  passedst  thou  over  to 
fight  against  the  '^children  of 
Am'mon,  and  didst  not  call  us 
to  go  with  thee  ?  we  will  burn 
thine  house  upon  thee  with  fire. 

2  And  Jeph'thah  said  unto 
them,  I  and  my  ''people  were  at 
great  ^strife  with  the  ^children 
of  Am'mon;  and  when  I  called 
you,  ye  delivered  me  not  out  of 
their  hands. 

3  And  when  I  saw  that  ye  de- 
livered me  not,  I  put  my  life  in 
my  hands,  and  passed  over 
against  the  ^children  of  Am'- 
mon, and  the  ''Lord  delivered 
them  into  my  hand:  wherefore 
then  are  ye  come  up  unto  me 
this  day,  to  fight  against  me  ? 

4  'Then  Jeph'thah  gathered  to- 
gether all  the  men  of  ^Gil'e-ad, 
and  fought  with  ^E'phra-im: 
and  the  men  of  Gil'e-ad  smote 
E'phra-im,  because  they  said, 
Ye  Gil'e-ad-Ites  are  fugitives  of 
E'phra-im  among  the  E'phra- 
iin-Ites,  and  among  the  Ma- 
nas'sites. 

5  And  the  Gil'e-ad'ites  took  the 
passages  of  'Jor'dan  before  the 
'^E'phra-im'ites :  and  it  was  so, 
that  when  those  E'phra-im-Ites 
which  were  escaped  said.  Let  me 
go  over;  that  the  men  of  Gil'e-ad 
said  unto  him.  Art  thou  an 
E'phra-im-ite  ?  If  he  said,  Nay; 

6  '"Then  said  they  unto  him, 
Say  now  Shib'bo-leth :  and  he 
said  Sib'bo-leth:  for  he  could 
not  frame  to  pronounce  it  right. 
Then  they  took  him,  and  slew 
him  at  the  passages  of  ^  Jor'dan : 
and  there  fell  at  that  time  of

thousand.

CHAPTER  13 

Israel  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  Philis- 
tines. 2  An  angel  appears  to  Manoah's 
wile,  8  and  again  to  her  arid  to  Mannah. 
1.')  Manoah's  sacrifice,  during  which  the 
angel  is  discovered.     ZA  Samson  is  born. 

AND  tlie  children  of  "Is'ra-el 
did  evil  again  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lorb;  and  the  "Lord 
'^delivered  them  into  the  hand  of 
the  '*Phi-lis'tTnes  forty  years. 

2  Tf  And  there  was  a  certain 
man  of  ''Zd'rah,  of  the  family  of 
the  T)an'Ttes,  whose  name  wa.s 
Mii-no'ah;  and  his  wife  was 
''l)arren,  and  bare  not. 

3  And  the  ''angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  the  woman,  and 
said  unto  her,  Behold  now,  thou 
art  ''barren,  and  bearest  not:  but 
thou  shalt  'conceive,  and  bear  a 
son. 

4  Now  therefore  beware,  I  })ray 


thee,  and  'drink  not  '^wine  nor 
strong  drink,  and  eat  not  any 
unclean  thing: 

5  For,  lo,  thou  shalt  Conceive, 
and  bear  a  son;  and  no  'razor 
shall  come  on  his  head:  for  the 
'"child  shall  be  a  '^Naz'a-rlte 
unto  God  from  the  womb:  ana 
he  shall  begin  to  deliver  Is'ra-el 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  Thi- 
iTs'tines. 

6  t  Then  the  woman  came  and 
told  her  husband,  saying,  A  man 
of  God  came  unto  me,  and  his 
countenance  was  like  the  coun- 
tenance of  an  ''angel  of  (jod, 
very  terrible:  but  I  asked  him 
not  whence  he  was,  neither  told 
he  me  his  name: 

7  But  he  said  unto  me,  Behold, 
thou  shalt  Vonceive,  and  bear  a 
son;  and  now  'driiak  no  *wine 
nor  strong  drink,  neither  eat  any 
unclean  thing:  for  the  child  shall 
be  a  "Na,z'a-rlte  to  God  from  the 
womb  to  the  day  of  his  death. 

8  1  Then  Ma-no'ah  "intreated 
the  Lord,  and  said,  O  my  Lord, 
let  the  man  of  God  which  thou 
didst  send  come  again  unto  us, 
and  teach  us  what  we  shall  do 
unto  the  child  that  shall  be 
born. 

9  And  God  "hearkened  to  the 
voice  of  Ma-no'ah;  and  the  ''an- 
gel of  God  came  again  unto  the 
woman  as  she  sat  in  the  field: 
])ut  Ma-no'ah  her  husband  was 
not  with  her. 

10  And  the  woman  made  haste, 
and  ran,  and  shewed  her  hus- 
band, and  said  unto  him,  Be- 
hold, the  man  hath  appeared  un- 
to me,  that  came  unto  me  the 
other  day. 

11  And  INIa-no'ah  arose,  and 
went  after  his  wife,  and  came  to 
the  man,  and  said  unto  him,  Art 
thou  the  man  that  spakest  unto 
the  woman  ?  And  he  said,  I  am. 

12  And  Ma-no'ah  said,  Now  let 
thy  words  come  to  pass.    4Iow

shall  we  order  the  child,  and  how 
shall  \ve  do  unto  hiin  ? 

13  And  the  '^angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  Ma-no'ah,  Of  all  that 
I  said  unto  the  woman  let  her 
beware. 

14  She  h\\n.j  not  eat  of  any 
thing  that  cometh  of  the  *viiie, 
■'neither  let  her  drink  ^'wine  or 
strong  drink,  nor  eat  any  un- 
clean thing:  all  that  I  com- 
manded her  let  her  observe. 

15  ^  And  I^.Ia-no'ah  said  unto 
the  ''angel  of  the  Lord,  I  pray 
thee,  let  us  detain  thee,  until  we 
shall  have  made  ready  a  kid  for 
thee. 

16  And  the  ''angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  ]Ma-no'ali,  Though 
thou  detain  me,  I  will  not  eat  of 
thy  bread:  and  if  thou  wilt  offer 
a  ^burnt  offering,  thou  must  of- 
fer it  unto  the  Lord.  For  Ma- 
no'ah  knew  not  that  he  was  an 
angel  of  the  Lord. 

17  And  ]\Ia-no'ah  said  unto  the 
"angel  of  the  I^ord,  What  is  thy 
name,  that  when  thy  sayings 
come  to  pass  we  may  do  thee 
honour  ? 

18  And  the  ''angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  him,  Why  askest  thou 
thus  after  my  name,  seeing  it  is 
"secret  ? 

19  So  Ma-no'ah  took  a  ?kid 
with  a  ^■''meat  offering,  and  of- 
fered it  upon  a  rock  unto  the 
Lord:  and  tlie  ''^angel  did  won- 
derously;  and  Ma-no'ah  and  his 
wife  looked  on. 

20  For  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  flame  went  up  toward  heav- 
en from  off  the  altar,  that  the 
"angel  of  the  I/ORD  ascended  in 
the  flame  of  the  altar.   And  Ma- 


no'ah  and  his  wife  looked  on  it, 
and  fell  on  their  faces  to  the 
ground. 

21  But  the  ''angel  of  the  Lord 
did  no  more  appear  to  Ma-no'- 
ah and  to  his  wife.  Then  Ma- 
no'ah  knew  that  he  ivas  an  angel 
of  the  Lord. 

22  And  Ma-no'ah  said  unto 
his  wife.  We  shall  surely  die, 
because  we  have  seen  God. 

23  But  his  ^vife  said  unto  him, 
'If  the  Lord  were  pleased  to 
kill  us,  he  would  not  have  re- 
ceived a  ^burnt  offering  and  a 
^''^meat  offering  at  our  hands, 
neither  would  he  have  shewed 
us  all  these  things,  nor  would  as 
at  this  time  have  told  us  stich 
things  as  these. 

24  ^  And  the  woman  l)are  a 
son,  and  called  his  name  ^Sam'- 
son:  and  the  child  grew,  and  the 
Lord  blessed  lum. 

25  And  the  "Spirit  of  the  Lord

said  unto  him,  Z*'  tlwrc  never  a 
woman  among  the  daughters  of 
thy  brethren,  or  among  all  my 
people,  that  thou  goest  to  take  a 
wife  of  the  uncircumcised  "Phi- 
iTs'tTnes  ?  And  Sam'son  said  un- 
to his  father,  Get  her  for  me ;  for 
she  pleaseth  me  well. 

4  But  his  father  and  his  mother 
knew  not  that  ''it  was  of  the 
Lord,  that  he  sought  an  occa- 
sion against  the  Thi-lTs'tine.s : 
for  at  that  time  the  Phi-lis'tines 
had  dominion  over  Is'ra-el. 

5  Then  went  "SSm'son  down, 
and  his  father  antl  his  mother,  to 
Tim'nath,  and  came  to  the  vine- 
yards of  Tim'nath:  and,  behold, 
a  young  ^lion  roared  against  him. 

6  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  mightily  upon  him,  and  he 
rent  him  as  he  would  have  rent  a 
kid,  and  he  hud  nothing  in  his 
hand :  but  he  told  not  his  father 
or  his  mother  wdiat  he  had  done. 

7  And  he  went  down,  and 
talked  with  the  woman;  and 
she  pleased  Sam'son  well. 

8  T[  And  after  a  time  he  re- 
turned to  take  her,  and  he 
turned  aside  to  see  the  carcase 
of  the  lion:  and,  behold,  there 
was  a  swarm  of  ''bees  and  "honey 
in  the  carcase  of  the  lion. 

9  And  he  took  thereof  in  his 
hands,  and  went  on  eating,  and 
came  to  his  father  and  mother, 
and  he  gave  them,  and  they  did 
eat:  but  he  told  not  them  that  he 
had  taken  the  honey  out  of  the 
carcase  of  the  lion. 

10  1  So  his  father  went  down 
unto  the  woman:  and  °SS.m'son 
made  there  a  ''•^feast;  for  so  used 
the  young  men  to  do. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  saw  Hiim,  that  they  brought 
thirty  companions  to  be  with 
him. 

12  And  "SUm'son  said  unto 
them,  I  will  now  put  forth  a  ^rid- 
dle unto  you:  if  ye  can  certainly 


declare  it  me  within  the  seven 
days  of  the  ''•'feast,  and  find  it 
out,  then  I  will  give  you  thirty 
'sheets  and  thirty  change  of 
garments : 

13  But  if  ye  cannot  declare  it 
me,  then  shall  ye  give  me  thirty 
'sheets  and  thirty  change  of  gar- 
ments. And  they  said  unto  him. 
Put  forth  thy  riddle,  that  we  may 
hear  it. 

14  And  he  said  unto  them,  Out 
of  the  ^eater  came  forth  meat, 
and  out  of  the  strong  came  forth 
"sweetness.  And  they  could 
not  in  three  days  expound  the 
^riddle. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  they  said  unto 
"Sam'son's  wife.  Entice  thy  hus- 
band, that  he  may  declare  unto 
us  the  ^riddle,  lest  we  burn  thee 
and  thy  father's  house  with  fire: 
have  ye  called  us  to  ^take  that 
we  have  ?  is  it  not  so  ? 

IG  And  "Sam'son's  wife  wept 
before  him,  and  said.  Thou  dost 
but  hate  me,  and  lovest  me  not: 
thou  hast  put  forth  a  ^riddle  un- 
to the  children  of  my  people,  and 
hast  not  told  if  me.  And  he  said 
unto  her,  Behold,  I  have  not  told 
it  my  father  nor  my  mother,  and 
shall  I  tell  it  thee  ? 

17  And  she  wept  before  him  the 
seven  days,  while  their  ''-'feast 
lasted:  and  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  seventh  day,  that  he  told  her, 
because  she  lay  sore  upon  him: 
and  she  told  the  riddle  to  the 
children  of  her  people. 

18  And  the  men  of  the  city  said 
unto  him  on  the  seventh  day  be- 
fore the  sun  went  down.  What  is 
sweeter  than  "honey  ?  and  what 
it  stronger  than  a  *lion  ?  And  he 
'said  unto  them,  If  ye  had  not 
plowed  with  my  '"heifer,  ye  had 
not  found  out  my  "^riddle. 

19  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  "him,  and  he  went

thirty  men  of  them,  and  took 
their  spoil,  and  gave  change  of 
garments  unto  them  which  ex- 
pounded the  riddle.  And  his 
"anger  was  kindled,  and  he  went 
up  to  his  father's  house. 

20  But  Sam'son's  wife  was 
given  to  his  companion,  whom 
he  had  used  as  his  friend. 

CHAPTER  15 

Samson  Is  denied  his  wife.  3  He  burns  the 
Philistines'  corn  by  means  of  foxes.  6 
His  wife  and  her  father  are  burnt  by  the 
Philistines;  7  for  which  Samson  sr7iites 
them  hip  and  thigh.  9  He  is  bound  by 
the  men  of  Judah,  and  delivered  to  the 
Philistines:  14  of  whom  he  kills  a  thou- 
sand with  the  jawbone  of  an  ass.  18  God 
makes  a  fountain  for  him  in  Lehl. 

BUT  it  came  to  pass  within  a 
while  after,  in  the  time  of 
wheat  harvest,  that  "Sam'son 
visited  his  wife  with  a  kid;  and 
he  said,  I  will  go  in  to  my 
wife  into  the  chamber.  But 
her  father  would  not  suffer  him 
to  go  in. 

2  And  her  father  said,  I  verily 
thought  that  thou  hadst  utterly 
hated  her;  therefore  I  gave  her 
to  thy  companion:  is  not  her 
younger  sister  fairer  than  she  ? 
take  her,  I  pray  thee,  instead 
of  her. 

3  T[  And  SS,m'son  said  concern- 
ing them.  Now  shall  I  be  more 
blameless  than  the  ''Phi-lis'tineg, 
though  I  do  them  a  ^displeasure. 

4  And  Sam'son  went  and 
caught  three  hundred  ''foxes,  and 
took  firebrands,  and  turned  tail 
to  tail,  and  put  a  firebrand  in  the 
midst  between  two  tails. 

5  And  when  he  had  set  the 
brands  on  fire,  he  let  them  go  into 
the  standing  ''corn  of  the  Thi- 
Ife'tines,  and  ^burnt  up  both  the 
shocks,  and  also  the  standing 
corn,  ^with  the  vineyards  and 
olives. 

6  Then  the  *Phi-lis'tine§  said, 
Who  hath  done  this  ?  And  they 
answered,  "Sam'son,  the  son  in 
law  of  the  Tim'nite,  because  he 
had  taken  his  wife,  and  given 


her  to  his  companion.  And  the 
Phi-lis'tines  came  up,  and  'burnt 
her  and  her  father  with  fire. 

7  Tf  And  "Sam'son  said  unto 
them.  Though  ye  have  done  this, 
yet  will  I  be  ''avenged  of  you, 
and  after  that  I  will  cease. 

8  And  ^he  smote  them  hip  and 
thigh  with  a  great  slaughter:  and 
he  went  down  and  dwelt  in  the 
^top  of  the  rock  E'tam. 

9  T[  Then  the  "Phi-lis'tines  went 
up,  and  pitched  in  ^Jii'dah,  and 
spread  themselves  in  Le'hi. 

10  And  the  men  of  Ju'dah  said, 
^Yhy  are  ye  come  up  against  us  ? 
And  they  answered,  To  bind 
"Sam'son  are  we  come  up,  to  do 
to  him  as  he  hath  done  to  us. 

1 1  Then  three  thousand  men  of 
^Ju'dah  went  to  the  ^top  of  the 
rock  E'tam,  and  said  to  "Sam'- 
son, Knowest  thou  not  that  the 
Phi-lis'tlne§  are  rulers  over  us  ? 
what  is  this  that  thou  hast  done 
unto  us  ?  And  he  said  unto  them, 
'As  they  did  unto  me,  so  have 
I  done  unto  them. 

12  And  they  said  unto  him.  We 
are  come  down  to  bind  thee, 
that  we  may  deliver  thee  into 
the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 
And  SS,m'son  said  unto  them. 
Swear  unto  me,  that  ye  will  not 
fall  upon  me  yourselves. 

13  And  they  spake  unto  him, 
saving.  No ;  but  we  will  bind  thee 
fast,  and  deliver  thee  into  their 
hand ;  but  surely  we  will  not  kill 
thee.  And  they  bound  him  with 
two  new  cords,  and  brought  him 
up  from  the  rock. 

14  ^  A7id  when  °he  came  unto 
Le'hl,  the  ''Phi-lis'tines  shouted 
against  him :  and  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  came  mightily  upon  him, 
and  the  cords  that  were  upon  his 
arms  became  as  flax  that  was 
burnt  with  fire,  and  his  bands 
loosed  from  off  his  hands. 

15  And  he  found  a  new  jaw- 
bone of  an  'ass,  and  put  forth  his

upon  heaps,  with  the  jaw  of  an 
ass  have  I  slain  a  thousand  men. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  had  made  an  end  of  speaking, 
that  he  cast  away  the  jawbone 
out  of  his  hand,  and  called  that 
place  Ra'math-le'hl. 

18  Tf  And  he  was  sore  athirst, 
and  called  on  the  Lord,  and 
said,  '^Thou  hast  given  this  great 
deliverance  into  the  hantl  of  thy 
servant:  and  now  shall  I  die  for 
thirst,  and  fall  into  the  hand  of 
the  uncircumcised  ? 

19  But  God  clave  an  hollow 
place  that  ^uxts  in  the  jaw,  and 
there  came  'water  thereout;  and 
when  he  had  drunk,  his  spirit 
came  again,  and  he  revived: 
wherefore  he  called  the  name 
thereof  En-hak'ko-re,  which  is 
in  Le'hi  unto  this  day. 

20  And  °'"'he  judged  "Is'ra-el

CHAPTER  16 

Samson  carries  away  the  gates  of  the  city  of 
Gaza.  4  Delilah,  bribed  by  the  Philis- 
tines, entices  Samson.  6  Thrice  he  de- 
ceives her.  15  .\t  last  he  reveals  to  her 
the  secret  of  his  slrrngili.  21  The  Philis- 
tines take  him.  and  put  out  his  eyes.  22 
His  strength  returning,  he  pulls  down  the 
house  of  Dagon  upon  the  Philistines, 
and  dies. 

THEN     went    "Sam's  on     to 
''Ga'za,  and  saw  there  an 
harlot,  and  '^went  in  unto  her, 

2  And  it  was  told  the  ''Ga'zltes, 
saying,  "Sam'son  is  come  thither. 
And  they  compassed  him  in,  and 
laid  wait  for  him  all  night  in  the 
gate  of  the  city,  and  were  quiet 
all  the  night,  saying,  In  the 
morning,  when  it  is  day,  we 
shall  kill  him. 

3  And  "Sam'son  lay  till  mid- 
night, and  arose  at  midnight, 
anfl  toolc  the  doors  of  the  gate  of 
the  city,  and  the  two  posts,  and 
went  away  with  them,  bar  and 


all,  and  put  them  upon  his  shoul- 
ders, and  carriotl  them  up  to  the 
top  of  an  hill  that  is  before 
He'bron. 

4  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass  after- 
M'ard,  that  "he  loved  a  *^woman 
in  the  valley  of  Sd'rek,  whose 
name  was  ^De-ll'lah. 

5  And  the  lords  of  the  Thi-lis'- 
tines  came  up  unto  her,  and  said 
unto  her,  Entice  him,  and  see 
wherein  his  great  strength  lieth, 
and  by  what  means  we  may  pre- 
vail against  him,  that  we  may 
bind  him  to  afflict  him :  and  we 
will  ''give  thee  every  one  of  us 
eleven  hundred  pieces  of  silver. 

6  And  'De-li'lah  said  to  "Sam'- 
son,  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  where- 
in thy  great  strength  lieth,  and 
wherewith  thou  mightest  be 
bound  to  afflict   thee. 

7  And  "Sam'son  said  unto  her. 
If  they  bind  me  with  seven  green 
withs  that  were  never  dried,  then 
shall  I  be  weak,  and  be  as  an- 
other man. 

8  Then  the  lords  of  the  ''Phi- 
lis'tines  brought  up  to  her  seven 
green  withs  which  had  not  been 
dried,  and  she  bound  him  with 
them. 

9  Now  there  were  men  lying  in 
wait,  abiding  with  her  in  the 
chamber.  And  '^■^she  said  unto 
him.  The  Phi-lis'tines  be  upon 
thee,  "Sam'son.  And  he  brake 
the  withs,  as  a  thread  of  'tow  is 
broken  when  it  toucheth  the  fire. 
So  his  strength  was  not  known. 

10  And  ^-'De-li'lah  said  unto 
"Sam'son,  Behold,  thou  hast 
mocked  me,  and  told  me  lies: 
now  tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  where- 
with thou  mightest  be  bound. 

1 1  And  he  said  unto  her,  If  they 
i)ind  me  fast  with  new  ropes 
Hhat  never  were  occupied,  then 
shall  I  be  weak,  and  be  as  an- 
other man. 

12  ^•''De-h'lah  therefore  took 
new  ropes,  and  bound  him  there-

^Phi-lis'tines  he  upon  thee,  Sam'- 
son.  And  ihere  were  liers  in  wait 
abiding  in  the  chamber.  And  he 
brake  them  from  off  his  arms 
like  a  thread. 

13  And  ^'^De-h'lah  said  unto 
"Sam'son,  Hitherto  thou  hast 
mocked  me,  and  told  me  lies: 
tell  me  wherewith  thou  mightest 
be  bound.  And  he  said  unto  her, 
If  thou  'weavest  the  seven  locks 
of  my  head  wdth  the  web. 

14  And  she  fastened  it  with  the 
pin,  and  said  unto  him,  The 
''Phi-lis'tines  he  upon  thee, 
"Sam'son.  And  he  awaked  out 
of  his  sleep,  and  went  away  with 
the  pin  of  the  beam,  and  with  the 
web. 

15  Tf  And  '^■''she  said  unto  "him, 
How  canst  thou  say,  I  love  thee, 
when  thine  heart  w  not  with  me  ? 
thou  hast  mocked  me  these  three 
times,  and  hast  not  told  me 
wiierein  thy  great  strength  lieili. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  pressed  him  daily  with  her 
words,  and  urged  him,  so  that 
his  soul  was  vexed  unto  death; 

17  That  he  told  her  all  his 
heart,  and  said  unto  her,  There 
hath  not  come  a  razor  upon  mine 
head;  for  I  have  been  a  ^Naz'a- 
rite  unto  God  from  my  mother's 
womb:  if  I  be  shaven,  then  my 
strength  will  go  from  me,  and  I 
shall  become  weak,  and  be  like 
any  other  man. 

18  And  when  ^-^De-li'lah  saw 
that  he  had  told  her  all  his 
heart,  she  sent  and  called  for  the 
lords  of  the  Thi-lis'tines,  saying, 
Come  up  this  once,  for  he  hath 
shewed  me  all  his  heart.  Then 
the  lords  of  the  Phi-lTs'tines 
came  up  unto  her,  and  ''brought 
^money  in  their  hand. 

19  And  ^'''she  made  him  sleep 
upon  her  knees;  and  she  called 
for  a  man,  and  she  caused  him  to 


*  DAGON. 


shave  off  the  seven  locks  of  his 
head;  and  she  began  to  afflict 
him,  and  his  strength  went  from 
him. 

20  And  ''•'she  said,  The  ''Phi- 
lis'tines  he  upon  thee,  "Sam'son. 
And  he  awoke  out  of  his  sleep, 
and  said,  I  will  go  out  as  at  other 
times  before,  and  shake  myself. 
And  he  '"wist  not  that  the  '^Lord 
was  departed  from  him. 

21  But  the  "Phi-lis'tines  took 
"him,  and  ^put  out  his  eyes,  and 
brought  him  down  to  ''Ga'za, 
and  bound  him  with  ^fetters  of 
'^brass;  and  'he  did  'grind  in  the 
prison  house. 

22  Howbeit  the  hair  of  his  head 
began  to  grow  again  after  he  was 
shaven. 

23  Then  the  lords  of  the  ^Phi- 
lis'tin&s  gathered  them  together 
for  to  offer  a  great  sacrifice  unto 
*Da'gon  their  god,  and  to  re- 
joice: for  they  said.  Our  god 
hath  delivered  "Sam'son  our 
enemy  into  our  hand. 

24  And  when  the  people  saw 
him,  they  ''praised  their  god :  for 
they  said.  Our  god  hath  deliv- 
ered into  our  hands  our  enemy, 
and  the  destroyer  of  our  coun- 
try, which  slew  many  of  us. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
their  hearts  were  merry,  that 
they  said,  Call  for  ""'Sam'son, 
that  he  may  make  us  sport.  And 
they  called  for  Sam'son  out  of 
the  prison  house;  and  he  made 
them  sport:  and  they  set  him 
between  the  pillars.

the  lad  that  held  him  by  the 
hand.  Suffer  me  that  I  may  feel 
the  pillars  whereupon  the  "house 
standeth,  that  I  may  lean  upon 
them. 

27  Now  the  "house  was  full  of

28  And  "Sampson  "called  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord 
God,  remember  me,  I  pray 
thee,  and  strengthen  me,  I  pray 
thee,  only  this  once,  O  God,  that 
I  may  be  at  once  -^avenged  of

29  And  Sampson  took  hold  of 
the  two  middle  pillars  upon 
which  the  house  stood,  and  on 
which  it  was  borne  up,  of  the 
one  with  his  right  hand,  and  of 
the  other  with  his  left. 

30  And  Sam'son  ^said,  Let  me

he  bowed  himself  with  all  his 
might;  and  the  house  fell  upon 
the  lords,  and  upon  all  the  peo- 
ple that  were  therein.  ^So  the 
dead  which  he  slew  at  his  death 
were  more  than  tJiey  which  he 
.slew  in  his  life. 

31  Then  his  brethren  and  all  the

AND  there  was  a  man  of 
mount  "E'phni-im,  whose 
name  was  Mi'cah. 
2  And  ''he  said  unto  his  mother, 
The  eleven  hundred  ^-  •''shckrls 
of  silver  that  were  taken  from 
thee,  about  which  thou  cursedst, 
and  spake.st  of  also  in  mine  ears, 
behold,  the  silver  is  with  me; 
I  ''•^took  it.  And  his  mother  said, 
Blessed  he  thou  of  the  Lord,  my 
son. 


3  And  when  he  had  ^restored 
the  eleven  hundred  ^•'^skckcls 
of  silver  to  his  mothcn-,  his  moth- 
er said,  I  had  wholly  ^dedicated 
the  silver  unto  the  Lord  from 
my  hand  for  my  son,  to  make  a 
graven  image  and  a  molten  im- 
age: now  therefore  I  will  restore 
it  unto  thee. 

4  Yet  he  restored  the  *• ''money 
unto  his  mother;  and  his  mother 
took  two  hundred  ^shekels  of  sil- 
ver, and  gave  them  to  the  found- 
er, who  made  thereof  a  graven 
image  and  a  molten  image:  and 
they  were  in  the  h(juse  of  Mi'cah. 

5  And  the  man  jMl'cah  had  an 
house  of  gods,  and  made  an 
'ephod,  and  ^teraphim,  and  con- 
secrated one  of  his  sons,  who  be- 
came his  priest. 

6  In  those  days  there  was  no 
king  in  I§'ra-el,  but  %very  man 
did  that  which  was  right  in  his 
own  eyes. 

7  Tf  And  there  was  a  young 
^'man  out  of  'Beth'-le-hem-ju'- 
dah  of  the  family  of  Ju'dah, 
who  loas  a  '"Le'vlte,  and  he  so- 
journed there. 

8  And  the  man  departed  out  of 
the  city  from  'Beth^e-hem-ju'- 
dah  to  sojourn  where  he  could 
find  a  place:  and  he  came  to 
mount  "F/phra-Tm  to  the  house 
of  Mi'cah,  as  he  journeyed. 

9  x\nd  Mi'cah  said  unto  him, 
Whence  comest  thou  ?  And  he 
said  unto  him,  I  am  a  Le'vlte  of 
Beth'-lc-hcm-juMah,  and  I  go 
to  sojourn  where  I  may  find  a 
place. 

10  And  Mi'cah  .said  unto  him, 
Thvell  with  me,  and  be  unto  me 
a  "father  and  a  "priest,  and  I 
will  give  thee  ten  ^shekels  of 
silver  by  the  year,  and  a  suit 
of  apparel,  and  thy  victuals.

to  dwell  with  the  man;  and  the 
young  man  was  unto  him  as  one 
of  his  sons. 

12  And  !Mi'cah  consecrated  the 
Le'vlte;  and  the  young  man  be- 
came his  "priest,  and  was  in  the 
house  of  JNIl'cah. 

13  Then  said  Mi'cah,  Now 
know  I  that  the  Lord  will  do 
me  good,  seeing  I  have  a  Le'- 
vlte  to  my  "priest. 

CHAPTER  18 

The  Danltes  send  five  men  to  seek  out  an 
inheritance.  3  At  the  house  of  Mlcah 
they  consult  with  his  priest,  and  are  en- 
couraged in  their  way.  7  They  visit 
Lafsh,  and  bring  back  a  good  report. 
11  Six  hundred  men  are  sent  to  surprise 
it.  14  In  the  ivay  they  rob  Micah  of  his 
priest  and  Jtis  consecrated  things.  27 
They  win  Lalsh,  and  call  it  Dan.  30 
They  set  up  Micah' s  graven  image,  and 
Jonathan  becomes  their  priest. 

IN  those  days  there  was  no 
king  in  Is'ra-el:  and  in  those 
days  the  tribe  of  the  '^Dan'ltes 
sought  them  an  inheritance  to 
dwell  in;  for  unto  that  day  all 
their  inheritance  had  not  fallen 
unto  them  among  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el. 

2  And  the  children  of  "Dan 
sent  of  their  family  five  men 
from  their  ^coasts,  men  of  val- 
our, from  ''Zo'rah,  and  from 
*Esh'ta-6l,  to  ''spy  out  the  land, 
and  to  search  it;  and  they  said 
unto  them,  Go,  search  the  land : 
who  when  they  came  to  mount 
'^E'phrS.-im,  to  the  house  of 
Mi'cah,  they  lodged  there. 

3  When  they  were  by  the  house 
of  Mi'cah,  they  knew  the  voice 
of  the  young  *man  the  ''Le'vite: 
and  they  turned  in  thither,  and 
said  vmto  him.  Who  brought 
thee  hither  ?  and  what  makest 
thou  in  this  j)lace  ?  and  what  hast 
thou  here  ? 

4  And  he  said  unto  them,  Thus 
and  thus  dealeth  Mi'cah  with 
me,  and  hath  "hired  me,  and  I 
am   his   priest. 

5  And  they  said  unto  him,  ''Ask 


counsel,  we  pray  thee,  of  God, 
that  we  may  know  whether  our 
way  which  we  go  shall  be  pros- 
perous. 

6  And  the  priest  said  unto  them. 
Go  in  peace:  before  the  Lord 
is  your  way  wherein  ye  go, 

7  ^  Then  the  five  men  depart- 
ed, and  came  to  La'ish,  and  saw 
the  people  that  were  therein, 
how  they  dwelt  ^careless,  after 
the  manner  of  the  '^Zi-do'ni-ans, 
quiet  and  secure;  and  there  was 
no  'magistrate  in  the  land,  that 
might  put  thcni  to  shame  in  anij 
thing;  and  they  were  far  from  the 
Zi-do'ni-ans,  and  had  no  busi- 
ness with  anij  man. 

8  And  they  came  unto  their 
brethren  to  ''Zo'rah  and  *Esh'- 
ta-ol:  and  their  brethren  said 
unto  them,  What  say  ye  ? 

9  And  they  said.  Arise,  that  we 
may  go  up  against  them:  for  we 
have  seen  the  land,  and,  behold, 
it  is  very  good :  and  are  ye  still  ? 
be  not  slothful  to  go,  a7id  to  enter 
to  possess  the  land. 

10  When  ye  go,  ye  shall  come 
unto  a  people  secure,  and  to  a 
large  land :  for  God  hath  given  it 
into  your  hands;  a  place  where 
there  is  no  want  of  any  thing  that 
is  in  the  earth. 

11  ^1  And  there  went  from 
thence  of  the  family  of  the 
''Dan'Ites,  out  of  ''Zo'rah  and  out 
of  *Esh'ta-ol,  six  hundred  men 
appointed  with  weapons  of  war. 

12  And  they  went  up,  and 
pitched  in  ''Kir'jath-je'a-rim,  in 
Ju'dali:  wherefore  they  called 
that  place  Ma'ha-neh-dan  unto 
this  day:  behold,  it  is  behind 
Kir '  jath- j  e'a-rim . 

13  And  they  passed  thence  unto 
mount  '^E'phrii-im,  and  came 
unto  the  house  of  Mi'cah. 

14  Then  answered  the  five  men 
that  went  to  '^spy  out  the  country

of  La'ish,  and  said  unto  their 
brethren,  Do  ye  know  that  'there 
is  in  these  houses  an  '"ephod, 
and  "teraphim,  and  a  graven 
"imaire,  and  a  moUen  imao;e  ? 
now  therefore  consider  what  ye 
have  to  do. 

15  And  they  turned  thither- 
ward, and  came  to  the  house  of 
the  young  ^man  the  'Le'vite, 
even  unto  the  house  of  Mi'cah, 
and  sahited  him. 

16  And  the  si.x  hundred  men 
appointed  with  their  weapons  of 
war  which  were  of  the  "children 
of  Dan,  stood  by  the  entering  of 
the  gate. 

17  And  the  five  men  that  went 
to  '^spy  out  the  land  went  up,  and 
came  in  thither,  and  Hook  the 
graven  "image,  and  the  '"ephod, 
and  the  "teraphim,  and  the  mol- 
ten "image :  and  the  Spriest  stood 
in  the  entering  of  the  gate  with 
the  six  hundred  men  that  were 
appointed  with  weapons  of  war. 

18  And  these  went  into  i\Ii'- 
cah's  house,  and  fetched  the 
carved  "image,  the  '"ephod,  and 
the  "teraphim,  and  the  molten 
"image.  Then  said  the  priest 
unto  them,  What  do  ye  ? 

19  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Hold  thy  peace,  lay  thine  hand 
upon  thy  mouth,  and  go  with  us, 
and  be  to  us  a  father  and  a 
priest:  is  it  better  for  thee  to  be 
a  priest  unto  the  house  of  one 
man,  or  that  thou  be  a  priest  un- 
to a  tribe  and  a  family  in  Is'ra-el  V 

20  And  the  'priest's  heart  was 
glad,  and  he  ^'took  the  '"ephod, 
and  the  "teraphim,  and  the  grav- 
en "image,  and  went  in  the  midst 
of  the  people. 

21  So  they  turned  and  depart- 
ed, and  put  the  little  ones  and 
the  cattle  and  the  •''carriage  be- 
fore them. 


22  Tl  Ami  when  they  were  a 
good  way  from  tiie  house  of 
INll'cah,  the  men  that  were  in  the 
houses  near  to  INlI'cah's  house 
were  gathered  together,  and 
overtook  the  children  of  °Dan. 

23  And  they  cried  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  "Dan,  And  they  turned 
their  faces,  and  said  unto  j\Il'- 
cah.  What  aileth  thee,  that  thou 
comest  with  such  a  company  ? 

24  And  he  said,  Ye  have  taken 
away  my  "gods  which  I  made, 
and  the  priest,  and  ye  are  gone 
away:  and  what  have  I  more? 
and  what  is  this  tliat  ye  say  unto 
me,  W  hat  aileth  thee  ? 

25  And  the  children  of  "Dan 
said  unto  him.  Let  not  thy  voice 
be  heard  among  us,  lest  angry 
fellows  run  upon  thee,  and  thou 
lose  thy  life,  with  the  lives  of  thy 
household. 

26  And  the  children  of  "Dan 
went  their  way:  and  when 
INIi'cah  saw  that  they  were  too 
strong  for  him,  he  turned  and 
went  back  unto  his  house. 

27  And  they  ^took  the  things 
which  INll'cah  had  made,  and  the 
'priest  which  he  had,  and  came 
unto  Iva'ish,  unto  a  people  that 
were  at  quiet  and  secure:  and 
they  ''smote  them  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  and  Ijurnt  the  city 
with  fire. 

28  And  there  was  no  deliverer, 
because  it  was  far  from  *Zl'don, 
and  th(;y  had  no  business  with 
any  man ;  and  it  was  in  the  valley 
that  lieth  by  ^Beth-re'hob.  And 
they  built  a  city,  and  dwelt 
therein. 

29  And  they  called  the  name  of 
the  c-ity  ^Dan,  after  the  name  of 
Da,n  their  father,  who  was  born 
unto  Is'ra-el:  howbeit  the  name 
of  the  city  was  La'ish  at  the  first.

CHAPTER  19 

A  Levitc  goes  to  Bethlehem  to  fetch  home  his 
concubine.  16  An  old  man  cntcrlaiiis 
him  at  Glbcah.  22  The  7nen  of  the  city 
abuse  his  concubine  to  death.  29  He 
divides  her  Into  twelve  pieces,  and  sends 
them  to  the  twelve  tribes. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  when  there  was  no 
king  in  "  Ls'ra-cl,  that  there  was  a 
certain  Le'vlte  sojourning  on  the 
side  of  mount  ''E'phra-ini,  who 
took  to  ]iim  a  "^concubine  out  of 
"Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah. 

2  And  his  "^concubine  played 
the  whore  against  him,  and  went 
away  from  him  unto  her  father's 
house  to  ''Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah, 
and  was  therefourwhole  months. 

3  And  her  husband  arose,  and 
went  after  her,  to  s}>eak  friendly 
unto  her,  and  to  bring  her  again, 
having  his  servant  with  him,  and 
a  couple  of  *asses:  and  she 
brought  him  into  lier  father's 
house:  and  when  the  *father  of 
the  damsel  saw  him,  he  rejoiced 
to  meet  liim. 

4  And  his  *father  in  law,  the 
damsel's  father,  ^retained  him; 
and  he  abode  with  him  tliree 
days :  so  they  did  eat  and  drink, 
and  lodged  there. 


5  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
fourth  day,  when  they  arose 
early  in  the  morning,  that  he 
rose  up  to  depart:  and  the  dam- 
sel's father  said  unto  his  son  in 
law,  ^Comfort  thine  heart  with  a 
morsel  of  bread,  and  afterward 
go  your  way. 

6  And  they  sat  down,  and  did 
eat  and  drink  both  of  them  to- 
gether: for  the  damsel's  father 
had  said  unto  the  man,  Be  con- 
tent, I  pray  thee,  and  ''tarry  all 
night,  and  let  thine  heart  l>e 
merry. 

7  And  when  the  man  rose  up  to 
depart,  his  father  in  law  urged 
him:  therefore  he  lodged  there 
again. 

8  And  he  arose  early  in  the 
morning  on  the  fifth  day  to  de- 
part: and  the  damsel's  father 
said,  Comfort  thine  heart,  I  pray 
thee.  ^-'And  they  tarried  until 
afternoon,  and  they  ditl  eat  both 
of  them. 

9  And  when  the  man  rose  up  to 
depart,  he,  and  liis  concubine, 
and  his  servant,  his  father  in 
law,  the  damsel's  father,  said 
unto  him.  Behold,  now  the  day 
draweth  toward  evening.  I  pray 
you  ^tarry  all  night:  beliold,  the 
day  gr.oweth  to  an  end,  lodge 
here,  that  thine  heart  may  be 
merry;  and  to  morrow  get  you 
early  on  your  way,  that  thou 
mayest  go  home. 

10  But  the  man  would  not  tarry 
tlmt  night,  but  he  rose  up  and 
departed,  and  came  over  against

17  And  when  he  had  lifted  up 
his  eyes,  he  saw  a  w\ayfaring  man 
in  the  street  of  the  city:  and  the 
old  man  said.  Whither  goest 
thou  ?  and  whence  coinest  thou  ? 

18  And  he  said  unto  him,  W^e 
are  passing  from  '^Beth'-le-hem- 
ju'dah  "toward  the  side  of  mount 
''E'phrS.-im;  from  whence  am  I: 
and  I  went  to  Beth'-le-hem-ju'- 
dah,  but  I  am  now  going  to  the 
'house  of  the  Lord;  and  *there 
is  no  man  that  receiveth  me  to 
house. 

19  Yet  there  is  both  straw  and 
provender  for  our  "asses;  and 
there  is  bread  and  wine  also  for 
me,  and  for  thy  handmaid,  and 
for  the  young  man  which  is  with 
thy  servants:  there  is  no  want  of 
any  thing. 

20  And  the  old  man  said.  Peace 
he  with  thee;  how.soever  '^let  all 
thy  wants  lie  upon  me;  only 
lodge  not  in  the  street.

house,  and  gave  provender  un- 
to the  ^asses:  and  they  "washed 
their  '"feet,  and  did  eat  and 
drink. 

22  ^  Now  as  they  were  making 
their  hearts  merry,  behold,  the 
men  of  the  city,  certain  sons  of 
Be'li-al,  beset  the  house  round 
about,  and  beat  at  the  door,  and 
spake  to  the  master  of  the  house, 
the  old  man,  saying,  Bring  forth 
the  man  that  came  into  thine 
hous'j,  that  we  may  "^know  him. 

23  And  the  man,  the  master  of 
the  house,  went  out  unto  them, 
and  said  unto  them.  Nay,  my 
brethren,  nay,  I  pray  you,  do 
not  50  wickedly;  seeing  that  this 
man  is  ^'come  into  mine  house, 
do  not  this  folly. 

24  Behold,  here  is  my  daughter 
a  maiden,  and  his  '^concubine; 
them  I  will  bring  out  now,  and 
humble  ye  them,  and  do  with 
them  what  seeineth  good  unto 
you:  but  unto  this  man  do  not 
so  vile  a  "thing. 

25  But  the  men  would  not 
hearken  to  him:  so  the  man 
took  his  ^concubine,  and  brought 
her  forth  unto  them;  and  they 
°'  ^knew  her,  and  abused  her  all 
the  night  until  the  morning :  and 
when  the  day  began  to  spring, 
they  let  her  go. 

26  Then  came  the  woman  in 
the  dawning  of  the  day,  and  fell 
down  at  the  door  of  the  man's 
house  where  her  lord  was,  till  it 
was  light. 

27  And  her  lord  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  opened  the  doors 
of  the  house,  and  went  out  to 
go  his  way:  and,  behold,  the 
woman  his  '^concubine  was  fallen 
down  at  the  door  of  the  house, 
and  her  hands  xorre  upon  the 
threshold. 


28  iVnd  he  said  unto  her,  Up, 
and  let  us  be  going.  But  none 
answered.  Then  the  man  took 
her  up  upon  an  ass,  and  the  man 
rose  up,  and  gat  him  unto  his 
place. 

29  ^  And  when  he  was  come 
into  his  house,  he  took  a  knife, 
and  laid  hold  on  his  '^concubine, 
and  divided  her,  Hogeiher  with 
her  bones,  into  twelve  pieces, 
and  sent  her  into  all  the  ^coasts 
of  Is'ra-el. 

30  And  it  was  so,  that  all  that 
saw  it  said.  There  was  no  such 
deed  done  nor  seen  from  the 
day  that  the  children  of  "Is^- 
ra-el  came  up  out  of  the  land 
of  ''E'gvpt  unto  this  day:  con- 
sider of  it,  take  ^advice,  and 
speak  your  minds. 

CHAPTER  20 

The  Levite  in  an  assembly  of  the  people 
declares  his  wrong.  8  The  decree  of  the 
assembly.  12  The  Benjamites,  being  re- 
quired to  deliver  up  the  guilty  persons, 
refuse  anil  prepare  for  war.  18  The 
Israelites  in  two  battles  lose  forty  thousand. 
26  By  stratagem  they  destroy  all  the  Ben- 
jamites, except  six  hundred, 

THEN  all  the  children  of 
°Is'ra-el  went  out,  and  the 
congregation  was  ^gathered  to- 
gether as  one  man,  from  ''Dan 
to  *Be'er-she'ba,  with  the  land 
of  Gil'e-2,d,  unto  the  Lord  in 
'^IMiz'peh. 

2  And  the  chief  of  all  the  peo- 
ple, eve7i  of  all  the  tribes  of 
'^Is'ra-el,  presented  themselves 
in  the  assembly  of  the  people 
of  God,  four  hundred  thoasand 
footmen  that  drew  sword. 

3  (Now  the  children  of  *Ben'ja- 
min  heard  that  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  were  gone  up  to  ''Miz'- 
peh.)  Then  said  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,  Tell  tis,  how  was  this 
wickedness  ?

of  the  woman  that  was  slain,  an-

^Gib'e-ah  that  hclongcth  to  Ben'- 
ja-min,  I  and  my  "concubine,  to 
lodge. 

5  And  the  men  of  'Gib'e-ah 
rose  against  me,  and  beset  the 
house  round  about  upon  me  by 
night,  and  thought  to  have  slain 
me:  and  my  "concubine  have 
they  forced,  that  she  is  dead. 

6  And  I  took  my  "concubine, 
and  cut  her  in  pieces,  and  sent 
her  throughout  all  the  country  of 
the  inheritance  of  "Is'ra-el:  for 
they  have  committed  lewdness 
and  folly  in  Is'ra-el. 

7  Behold,  ye  are  all  children  of 
°Ls'ra-el:  give  here  your  advice 
and  counsel. 

8  T[  And  all  the  "people  arose  as 
one  man,  ''saying,  We  will  not 
any  of  us  go  to  his  tent,  neither 
will  we  any  of  us  turn  into  his 
house. 

9  But  now  this  shall  be  the 
thing  -which  we  will  do  to 
'Gib'-e-ah;  we  will  go  up  by 
lot  against  it; 

10  And  we  will  take  'ten  men 
of  an  hundred  throughout  all  the 
tribes  of  "Is'ra-el,  and  an  hun- 
dred of  a  thousand,  and  a  thou- 
.sand  out  of  ten  thou.sand,  to 
fetch  victual  for  the  people,  that 
they  may  do,  when  they  come 
to  'Gib'e-ah  of  *Bcii'ja-niTn,  ac- 
cording to  all  the  folly  that  they 
have  wrought  in  Is'ra-el. 

11  So  all  the  men  of  I.s'ra-el 
were  gathered  against  the  city, 
knit  together  as  one  man. 

12  If  And  the  tribes  of  «T.s'ra-el 
sent  men  through  all  the  tri!)e 
of  '^Ben'ja-niin,  'saving,  What 
wickedness  is  this  that  is  done 
among  yon  ? 

13  Now  therefore  deliver  us  the

which  arc  in  'Gib'e-ah,  that  we 
may  put  thein  to  death,  and  put 
away  evil  from  Ls'ra-el.  But  the 
children  of  ''Ben'ja-min  would 
not  hearken  to  the  voice  of 
their  brethren  the  children  of 
"Is'-ra-el: 

14  But  the  children  of  ^Ben'ja- 
min  gathered  themselves  togeth- 
er out  of  the  cities  utito  'Gib'e- 
ah,  to  go  out  to  ^battle  against 
the  children  of  "Ls'ra-el. 

15  And  the  children  of  '^Ben'ja- 
min  were  numbered  at  that  time 
out  of  the  cities  twenty  and  six 
thousand  men  that  drew  sword, 
beside  the  inhabitants  of  ^Gib'e- 
ah,  which  were  numbered  seven 
hundred  chosen  men. 

16  Among  all  this  people  there 
were  seven  hundred  chosen  men 
'lefthanded;  every  one  could 
'"sling  stones  at  an  hair  breadth, 
and  not  miss. 

17  And  the  men  of  °Is'ra-el, 
beside  "Ben'ja-min,  were  num- 
bered four  hundred  thousand 
men  that  drew  sword:  all  these 
were  men  of  war. 

18  T[  And  "the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el arose,  and  went  up  to  ^the 
"•^house  of  God,  and  'asked

of  us  shall  go  up  first  to  the 
''battle  against  the  children  of

said,  ^Jfi'dah  shall  go  up  first. 

19  And  the  children  of  "ls'ra-el 
rose  up  in  the  morning,  and  en- 
camped against  ^(iib'e-ah.

day  twenty  and  two  thousand 
men. 

22  And  the  people  the  men  of 
°Ls'ra-el  encouraged  themselves, 
and  set  their  ^battle  again  in  ar- 
ray in  the  place  where  they  put 
themselves  in  array  the  first  day. 

23  (And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
went  up  and  wept  before  the 
Lord  until  even,  and  *asked 
counsel  of  the  Lord,  saying. 
Shall  I  go  up  again  to  ^battle 
against  the  children  of  Ben'ja- 
min  my  brother  ?  And  ''the 
Lord  said.  Go  up  against  him.) 

24  And  the  children  of  "Is'ra-el 
came  near  against  the  children 
of  '^Ben'ja-inin  the  second  day. 

25  And  '^Ben'ja-min  went  forth 
against  them  out  of  ^Gib'e-ah 
the  second  day,  and  destroyed 
down  to  the  ground  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ls'ra-el  again  eighteen 
thousand  men;  all  these  drew 
the  sword. 

26  Tf  Then  all  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,  and  all  the  people,  went 
up,  and  came  unto  Hhe  "-^house 
of  G  )d,  and  wept,  and  sat  there 
before  the  I^ord,  and  'fasted 
that  day  until  even,  and  offered 
"burnt  offerings  and  ""peace 
offerings  before  the  Lord. 

27  And  the  children  of  ls'ra-el 
"enquired  of  the  Lord,  (for  the 
^ark  of  the  covenant  of  God  was 
"there  in  those  days, 

28  And  ^'•^Phin'e-has,  the  son 
of  E'le-a'zar,  the  son  of  Aar'on, 
stood  before  it  in  those  days,) 
^saying,  Shall  I  yet  again  go  out 
to  *^battle  ag?inst  the  children  of 
Ben'ja-min  my  brother,  or  shall 
I  cease  ?  And  ''the  Lord  said, 
Go  up;  for  to  morrow  I  will 
deliver  them  into  thine  hand. 

29  1[  And  "ls'ra-el  ''set  '^Uers  in 
wait  round  about  '^Gib'e-ah. 

30  And  the  children  of  "Ls'ra-el 
went  up  against  the  children  of 
*Ben'ja-min  on  the  third  day, 
and    put    themselves    in    array 


against  '^Gib'e-ah,   as  at  other 
times. 

31  And  the  children  of  '^BSn'ja- 
min  went  out  against  the  people, 
and  were  ''drawn  away  from  the 
city;  and  they  began  to  smite  of 
the  people,  and  kill,  as  at  other 
times,  in  the  ''highways,  of  which 
one  goeth  up  to  hhe  ^house  of 
God,  and  the  other  to  '^Gib'e-ah 
in  the  field,  about  thirty  men  of 
ls'ra-el. 

32  And  the  children  of  ^Ben'ja- 
min  said,  They  are  smitten  down 
before  us,  as  at  the  first.  But  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el  said,  ^Let  us 
flee,  and  draw  them  from  the 
city  unto  the  highways. 

33  And  all  the  men  of  "Ls'ra-el 
rose  up  out  of  their  place,  and 
put  themselves  in  array  at  Ba'- 
al-ta'mar:  and  the  ''■''liers  in 
wait  of  ls'ra-el  came  forth  out  of 
their  places,  eve?i  out  of  the 
meadows  of  ''Gib'e-ah. 

34  And  there  came  against 
Gib'e-ah  ten  thousand  chosen 
men  out  of  all  Ls'ra-el,  and  the 
battle  was  sore:  but  they  knew 
not  that  evil  was  near  them. 

35  And  the  Lord  smote  '^Ben'- 
ja-min  before  Ls'ra-el:  and  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el  destroyed  of 
the  Ben'ja-mltes  that  day  twenty 
and  five  thousand  and  an  hun- 
dred men:  all  these  drew  the 
sword. 

36  So  the  children  of  ^Ben'ja- 
min  saw  that  they  were  smitten: 
for  the  men  of  "ls'ra-el  gave 
place  to  the  Ben'ja-mites,  be- 
cause they  trusted  unto  the  '^liers 
in  wait  which  they  had  set  be- 
side '^Gib'e-ah. 

37  And  the  '^liers  in  wait  hasted, 
and  rushed  upon  Gib'e-ah;  and 
the  ^liers  in  wait  drew  themselves 
along,  and  smote  all  the  city  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword. 

38  Now  there  was  an  appointed 
sign  between  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
and  the  "^liers  in  wait,  that  they

should  make  a  groat  "'•''Haine 
with  smoke  rise  up  out  of  the 
city. 

39  And  when  the  men  of  Is'- 
ra-el  ^retired  in  the  H>attle, 
'^Ben'ja-imn  heg-an  to  smite  and 
kill  of  the  men  of  Is'ra-ol  aliout 
thirty  persons:  for  they  said, 
Surely  they  are  smitten  down  be- 
fore us,  as  in  the  first  battle. 

40  But  when  the  ^-''flame  began 
to  arise  up  out  of  the  city  with  a 
pillar  of  smoke,  the  ''Ben'ja- 
mltes  looked  behind  them,  and, 
behold,  the  Aflame  of  the  city 
^ascended  up  to  heaven. 

41  And  when  the  men  of  Is'- 
ra-el  turned  again,  the  men  of 
^Ben'ja-min  were  amaxed:  for 
they  saw  that  evil  was  come 
upon   them. 

42  Therefore  they  turned  their 
backs  before  the  men  of  Ls'ra-el 
unto  the  way  of  the  wilderness; 
but  the  'battle  overtook  them; 
and  them  which  came  out  of  the 
cities  they  destroyed  in  the  midst 
of  them. 

43  Thus  they  ''inclosed  the 
"Ben'ja-mTtes  round  al)out,  and 
chased  them,  and  trode  them 
down  with  ease  over  against 
'^Gib'e-ah  toward  the  sunrising. 

44  And  there  fell  of  ^Ben'ja- 
min  eighteen  thousand  men;  all 
these  were  men  of  valour. 

45  And  they  turned  and  fic*!  to- 
wartl  the  wilderness  niiti)  the 
rock  of  •'Hiin'mon:  and  they 
gleaned  of  tiiem  in  the  'high- 
ways five  thousand  men;  and 
pursued  hard  after  them  unto 
(ji'dom,  and  slew  two  thousand 
men  of  thoni. 

46  So  that  all  which  fell  that  day 
of  *Ben'ja-mTn  were  twenty  and 
five  thousand  men  that  drew  the 
.sword;  all  these  were  men  of 
valour. 

47  But  six  hundred  men  turned 
and  fled  to  the  wilderness 
unto    the    rock    'Rim'mon,  and 

4 


abode  in  the  rock  UTm'mon  four 
months. 

48  And  the  men  of  '^I/ra-el 
turned  again  upon  the  children 
of  *Ben'ja-min,  and  smote  them 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  ''as 
well  the  men  of  even/  city,  as  the 
beast,  and  all  that  came  to  hand : 
also  they  set  on  fire  all  the  cities 
that  they  came  to.

Benjamites  obtain  wives  at  Shlloh. 

NOW  the  men  of  "Ts^ra-el  had 
*• ''sworn  in  '^]Mi//peh,  say- 
ing. There  shall  not  any  of  us 
give  his  daughter  unto  ^Ben'ja- 
min  to  ''wife. 

2  And  the  ''pco]>le  came  to 
Hhe  ''-'house  of  (lod,  and  abode 
there  till  even  before  God,  and 
lifted  up  their  voices,  and  wept 
sore; 

3  And  'said,  O  T.,oni>  (iod  of 
"Is'ra-el,  why  is  this  come  to 
pass  in  Is'ra-el,  that  there  should 
be  to  day  one  tribe  lacking  in 
Is'ra-el  ? 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morroAS',  that  the  pecjple  rose 
early,  and  built  there  an  *altar, 
and  offered  'burnt  '"offerings  and 
"peace  offerings. 

5  And  the  children  of  "Is'ra-el 
said,  Who  is  there  among  all  the 
tribes  of  Is'ra-cl  that  came  not 
up  with  the  congregation  unto 
the  LoKD?  For  they  had  made 
a  great  "oath  concerning  him 
that  came  not  uj)  to  the  IvORD 
to  '^INlT/Zpeh,  saying.  He  shall 
surely  l)e  put  to  ''death.

one  tribe  cut  off  from  Is'ra-el

we  will  not  give  them  of  our 
daughters  to  wives  ? 

8  Tl  And  they  said,  What  one 
is  there  of  the  tribes  of  "Is'ra-el 
that  came  not  up  to  '^jNIiz'peh  to 
the  Lord  ?  And,  behold,  there 
came  none  to  the  camp  from 
*Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  to  the  assem- 
bly. 

9  For  the  people  were  num- 
bered, and,  behold,  there  were 
none  of  the  inhabitants  of  *Ja'- 
besh-gil'e-ad  there. 

10  And  the  congregation  sent 
thither  ^twelve  thousand  men  of 
the  valiantest,  and  commanded 
them,  saying,  Go  and  smite  the 
inhabitants  of  *Ja'besh-gil'e-a.d 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  with 
the  women  and  the  children. 

11  And  this  is  the  thing  that  ye 
shall  do.  Ye  shall  utterly  destroy 
every  ''male,  and  every  ''woman 
that  hath  lain  by  man. 

12  And  they  found  among  the 
inhabitants  of  *Ja'besh-gil'e-ad 
four  hundred  young  *virgins, 
that  had  known  no  man  by  lying 
with  any  male:  and  they  brought 
them  unto  the  camp  to  ^Shl'loh, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Cu'naan. 

13  And  the  whole  '^congrega- 
tion sent  some  to  speak  to  the 
children  of  '^Ben'ja-min  that  ivere 
in  the  rock  'Rim'mon,  and  ^to 
call  peaceably  unto  them. 

14  And  *Ben'ja-min  came  again 
at  that  time;  and  they  gave  them 
Vives  which  they  had  saved 
alive  of  the  women  of  *  Ja'besh- 
gil'e-ad :  and  yet  so  they  sufficed 
them  not. 

15  And  the  people  repented 
them  for  '^Bcn'ja-min,  because 
that  the  Lord  had  made  a 
breach  in  the  tribes  of  Ts'ra-el. 

IG  Tf  Then  the  "elders  of  the 
congregation  said.  How  shall  we 


do  for  'wives  for  them  that  re- 
main, seeing  the  women  are  de- 
stroyed out  of  '^Ben'ja-min  ? 

17  And  they  said,  There  must  be 
an  inheritance  for  them  that  be 
escaped  of  ^Ben'ja-min,  that  a 
tribe  be  not  destroyed  out  of 
Is'ra-el. 

18  Howbeit  we  may  not  give 
them  wives  of  our  daughters: 
for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  have 
"■'^sworn,  saying.  Cursed  be  he 
that  giveth  a  wife  to  ^Ben'ja- 
min. 

19  Then  they  said,  Behold, 
there  is  a  ''feast  of  the  Lord  in 
^Shl'loh  yearly  iii  a  place  which 
is  on  the  north  side  of  ''Beth'-el, 
on  the  east  side  of  the  "'highway 
that  goeth  up  from  Beth'-el  to 
^She'chem,  and  on  the  south  of 
Le-bo'nah. 

20  Therefore  they  commanded 
the  children  of  *^Ben'ja-min,  say- 
ing. Go  and  Ke  in  wait  in  the 
vineyards : 

21  And  see,  and,  behold,  if  the 
^daughters  of  ^Shl'loh  come  out 
to  Mance  in  dances,  then  come 
ye  out  of  the  vineyards,  and 
"catch  you  every  man  his  *wife 
of  the  daughters  of  Shi'loh,  and 
go  to  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min. 

22  And  it  shall  be,  when  their 
fathers  or  their  brethren  come 
unto  us  to  complain,  that  we 
will  say  unto  them,  ^Be  favour- 
able unto  them  for  our  sakes :  be- 
cause we  reserved  not  to  each 
man  his  wife  in  the  war:  for  ye 
did  not  give  unto  them  at  this 
time,  that  ye  should  be  guilty. 

23  And  the  children  of  ^Ben'- 
ja-min did  so,  and  took  them 
''wives,  according  to  their  num- 
ber, of  them  that  danced,  whom 
they  "caught:  and  they  went 
and  returned  unto  their  inheri-

Elimelcch,  driven  hy  famine  into  Moab,  dies 
there.  4  His  two  sons,  lulling  married 
wires  of  Modb,  die  also.  6  Xaoml  re-

her.      19  They  two  come  to  Beth-lehem. 


NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
days  when  the  "judges 
ruled,  that  there  was  a  famine 
in  the  *land.  And  a  certain  man 
of  '^Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah  went 
to  sojourn  in  the  country  of 
'^Mo'ab,  he,  and  his  wife,  and 
his  two  sons. 

2  And  the  name  of  the  man 
was  ^£-lim'e-lech,  and  the  name 
of  his  wife  Na-o'mi,  and  the 
name  of  his  two  sons  ''^Mjlh'lon 
and  "Chil'i-on,  Eph'rath-Ites  of 
B6th'-le-hem-ju'dah.  And  they 
came  into  the  country  of  IMo'ab, 
and  continued  there. 

3  And  ^f:-lTm'e-lech  *Na-o'ml's 
husband  ''died ;  and  'she  was  left, 
and  her  two  sons. 

4  And  they  took  them  %ives  of 
the  women  of  '^Mo'al);  the  name 
of  the  one  was  Or'pali,  and  the 
name  of  tlie  other  ^Ruth:  and 
they  dwelled  there  about  ten 
years. 

5  And  OlJdi'lon  and  "ChiFi-on 
died  also  both  of  them;  and  the 
woman  was  left  of  her  two  sons 
and  her  husband. 


6  ^  Then  *she  arose  with  her 
^daughters  in  law,  that  she 
might  return  froiii  the  country 
of  '^]\Ir)'ab:  for  slu;  had  heard  in 
the  country  of  ]\I  j'ab  how  that 
the  Lord  had  visited  his  people 
in  'giving  them  ""bread. 

7  Wherefore  she  went  forth  out 
of  the  place  where  she  was,  and 
her  two  ''daughters  in  law  with 
her;  and  they  went  on  the  way  to 
return  unto  the  land  of  "Ju'dah. 

8  And  "Na-6'mT  said  unto  her 
two  'daughters  in  lav^,  Go,  re- 
turn each  to  her  mother's  house : 
"■P-Hhe  Lord  deal  kindly  with 
you,  as  ye  have  deal:  with  the 
dead,  and  with  me. 

9  "■  P-  '?The  Lord  grant  you  that 
ye  may  find  rest,  each  of  you  in 
the  house  of  her  husband.  Then 
she  ■^kissed  them ;  and  they  lifted 
up  their  voice,  and  wept. 

10  And  ^•'^they  said  unto  her, 
Surely  we  will  return  with  thee 
unto  thy  people. 

11  And  *Na-r)'mI  said.  Turn 
again,  my  daughters:  why  ^will 
ye  go  with  me  ?  are  there  yet  any 
viore  sons  in  my  womb,  that  they 
may  be  your  husl)ands  ? 

12  Turn  again,  my  daughters, 
go  your  way ;  for  I  am  too  old  to 
have  an  husband.  If  I  should 
say,   I  have  hope,  ij  I  should

nay  my  daughters;  for  it  griev- 
eth  me  much  *for  your  sakes 
that  the  hand  of  the  Lord  is 
gone  out  against  me. 

14  And  *-^they  lifted  up  their 
voice,  and  wept  again :  and  Or'- 
pah  ^kissed  her  *mother  in  law; 
but  ^Riith   clave  unto  her. 

15  And  she  said,  Behold,  thy 
sister  in  law  is  gone  back  unto 
her  people,  and  unto  her  'gods: 
return  thou  after  thy  sister  in 
law. 

16  And  ^Ruth  ^said,  Intreat 
me  not  to  leave  thee,  or  to  return 
from  following  after  thee:  for 
whithcx'  thou  goest,  I  "will  go; 
and  where  thou  lodgest^  I  will

17  "Where  thou  diest,  "will  I 
die,  and  there  will  1  be  buried: 
''the  Lord  do  so  to  me,  and 
more  also,  if  might  but  death 
part  thee  and   me, 

18  When  she  saw  that  ^she 
was  .itedfastly  minded  to  go  with 
her,  then  she  left  speaking  unto 
her. 

19  Tl  So  they  two  went  until 
they  came  to  '^BethMf-hem. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they 
were  come  to  Beth'-le-hem,  that 
all  the  city  was  moved  al)out 
them,  and  'they  said.  Is  this 
Na-o'ml  ? 

20  And  she  said  unto  them, 
Call  me  not  Na-o'ml,  call  me 
Ma'ni:  for  the  Almighty  hath 
'"dealt  very  bitterly  with  me. 

21  I  went  out  full,  and  the 
Lord  hath  l:)rought  me  home 
again  empty:  why  then  call  ye 
me  Nfi-o'mi,  seeing   the  TjORD 


hath  testified  against  me,  and 
the  Almighty  hath  afflicted  me  ? 
22  So  Na-o'ml  returned,  and 
^Riith  the  Mo'ab-it-ess,  her 
daughter  in  law,  with  her,  which 
returned  out  of  the  country  of 
Mo'ab:  and  they  came  to 
Beth'-ie-hem  in  the  beginning 
of  barley  harvest.

Ruth  gleans  in  the  fields  of  Boaz.  4  Boaz 
inquires  concerning  her,  8  and  shews  her 
great  favor.  18  That  which  she  gleans 
she  carries  to  Naomi. 

AND  «Na-6'mi  had  a  kins- 
man of  her  husband's,  a 
mighty  man  of  wealth,  of  the 
family  of  *E-lim'e-lech;  and  his 
name  was    B5'az. 

2  And  ^Riith  the  ''Mo'ab-it-ess 
said  unto  "Na.-6'mi,  Let  me  now 
go  to  the  field,  and  ''glean  ears  of 
corn  after  him  in  whose  sight  I 
shall  find  grace.  And  she  said 
unto  her,  Go,  my  daughter. 

3  And  she  went,  and  came,  and 
^gleaned  in  the  field  after  the 
reapers :  and  her  hap  was  to  light 
on  a  part  of  the  field  belonging 
unto  Bo'az,  who  was  of  the  kin- 
dred of  ''E-lim'e-lech. 

4  T[  And,  behold,  *B6'az  came 
from  ^Beth'-le-hem,  and  said 
unto  the  "reapers,  ^The  Lord  be 
with  you.  And  they  answered 
him,  ''The  Lord  bless  thee. 

5  Then  said  *Bo'az  unto  his

reapers.  Whose  damsel  is  this  ?

now,  that  she  tarried  a  little  in 
the  house. 

8  Then  'said  *ho%z  unto 
"^Ruth,  Hearest  thou  not,  my 
daughter  ?  Go  not  to  *• 'glean  in 
another  field,  neither  go  from 
hence,  l)Ut  abitle  here  fa.st  by  my 
maidens: 

9  'Let  thine  eyes  be  on  the  field 
that  they  do  reap,  and  ^go  thou 
after  them:  have  I  not  charged 
the  young  men  that  they  shall 
not  touch  thee  ?  and  when  thou 
art  athirst,  go  unto  the  vessels, 
and  drink  of  iliat  which  the 
young  men  have  drawn. 

10  Then  '^she  fell  on  her  face, 
and  bowed  herself  to  the  ground, 
and  said  unto  him,  Why  have  I 
found  grace  in  thine  eyes,  that 
thou  shouldest  'take  knowledge 
of  me,  seeing  1  am  a,  ^stranger  ? 

11  And  *Bo'az  answered  and 
said  unto  her,  It  hath  fully  been 
shewed  me,  all  that  'thou  hast 
done  unto  thy  mother  in  law 
since  the  death  of  thine  hus- 
band: and  liow  'thou  hast  left 
thy  father  and  thy  mother,  and 
the  land  of  thy  nativity,  and  art 
come  unto  a  people  which  thou 
knewest  not  heretofore. 

12  '"The  IvORD  recompense  thy 
work,  and  a  full  reward  be  given 
thee  of  the  "Lord  (jod  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  under  whose  wings  thou 
art  come  to  Hrast. 

i;}  Then  '^she  said.  Let  me  find 
favour  in  thy  sight,  my  lord ;  for 
that  thou  'hast  comforted  me 
and  for  that  thou  %ast  spoken 
friendly  unto  thine  handmaid, 
though  I  \^e.  not  like  unto  one 
of  thine    handmaidens. 

14  And  *B6'a.z  said  unto  ''"her. 
At  mealtime  come  thou  hither, 
and  eat  of  the  bread,  and  dip  thy 
morsel  in  the  ''vinegar.  And  she 
sat  beside  the  reapers:  and  "he 
reached  her  parched  ''corn,  and 
she  did  eat,  and  was  sufficed, 
and  left. 


15  And  when  she  was  risen 
up  to  ^glean,  Bo'jiz  commantled 
his  young  men,  ■'saying,  Let  her 
glean  even  among  the  sheaves, 
and  reproach  her  not: 

16  'And  lot  fall  also  sovic  of  the 
handfuls  of  purpose  for  her,  and 
leave  them,  that  she  may  glean 
them,  and  rebuke  her  not. 

17  So  '^she  ''gleaned  in  the  field 
until  even,  and  '^beat  out  tliat  she 
luul  gleaned:  and  it  was  about  an 
^ephali  of  barley. 

18  Tf  And  'she  took  it  up,  and 
went  into  the  city:  and  her 
"■'mother  in  law  saw  what  she 
had  ^gleaned:  and  'she  brought 
forth,  and  gave  to  her  that  she  had 
reserved  after  she  was  sufficed. 

19  And  her  '^mother  in  law 
said  unto  her,  Where  hast  thou 
gleaned  to  day  ?  and  where 
wroughtest  thou  ?  "blessed  be  he 
that  did  take  knowledge  of  thee. 
And  she  shewed  her  'mother  in 
law  with  whom  she  had  wrought, 
and  said,  The  man's  name 
with  whom  I  wrought  to  day  is 
*Bd'az. 

20  And  "Na-o'mi  said  unto  her 
daughter  in  law,  "Blessed  he  he 
of  the  Lord,  who  hath  not  left 
off  his  kindness  to  the  living  and 
to  the  dead.  And  Na-o'ml  said 
unto  her.  The  man  is  near  of  kin 
unto  us,  one  of  our  next  kins- 
men. 

21  And  '^liiith  the ''Mo'ab-it-e.ss 
said,  He  said  unto  me  also,  Thou 
shalt  keep  fast  by  my  young 
men,  until  they  have  ended  all 
my  harvest. 

22  And  '^Na-o'mi  said  unto 
'^Riith  her  daughter  in  law,  //  is 
good,  my  daughter,  that  thou  go 
out  with  his  maidens,  that  they 
meet  thee  not  in  any  other  field. 

23  So  she  kept  fast  by  the  m.'iid- 
ens  of  *Br)'az  to  ''•^glean  unto  the 
end  of  barley  harvest  and  of

CHAPTER  3 


Bv  Naomi's  instruction.  5  Ruth,  lies  doivn 
at  the  feet  of  Boa:.  8  He  acknowledges 
the  duty  of  a  kinsman:  14  and  sends  her 
away  with  six  measures  of  barley. 

THEN  "Na-o'mi  "her  ^mother 
in  laAV  "said  unto  her,  My 
daughter,  shall  I  not  seek  rest 
for  thee,  that  it  may  be  well  with 
thee  ? 

2  And  now  is  not  ^Bo'az  of 
our  kindred,  with  whose  maid- 
ens thou  wast?  Behold,  he*win- 
noweth  barley  to  night  in  the 
'threshingfloor. 

3  Wash  thyself  therefore,  and 
"anoint  thee,  and  put  thy  rai- 
ment upon  thee,  and  get  thee 
down  to  the  floor:  hit  make  not 
thyself  known  unto  the  man,  un- 
til he  shall  have  done  eating  and 
drinking. 

4  And  it  shall  be,  when  he  lieth 
down,  that  thou  shalt  mark  the 
place  where  he  shall  lie,  and  thou 
shalt  go  in,  and  uncover  his  feet, 
and  lay  thee  down;  and  he  will 
tell  thee  what  thou  shalt  do. 

5  And  she  said  unto  her,  All 
that  thou  say  est  unto  me  I 
will  do. 

6  Tf  And  "she  went  down  unto  the 
floor,  and  did  according  to  all  that 
her  °- "mother  in  law  bade  her. 

7  And  when  ^Bo'az  had  eaten 
and  drunk,  and  his  heart  was 
merry,  he  went  to  Ue  down  at  the 
end  of  the  heap  of  corn :  and  she 
came  softly,  and  uncovered  his 
feet,  and  laid  her  down. 

8  1  And  it  came  to  pass  at  mid- 
night, that  the  man  was  afraid, 
and  turned  himself:  and,  behold, 
a  woman  lay  at  his  feet. 

9  And  ^he  said,  Who  art  thou  ? 
And  she  answered,  I  am  "Riith 
thine  handmaid:  spread  there- 
fore thy  skirt  over  thine  hand- 
maid; for  thou  art  a  near  kins- 
man. 

10  And  «he  ^said,  Blessed   he 


thou  of  the  Lord,  my  daughter: 
for  thou  hast  shewed  more  kind- 
ness in  the  latter  end  than  at  the 
beginning,  inasmuch  as  thou  fol- 
lowedst  not  young  men,  whether 
poor  or  rich. 

11  And  ''now,  my  daughter, 
fear  not;  I  will  do  to  thee  all  that 
thou  requirest :  for  all  the  city  of 
my  people  doth  know  that  thou 
art  a  virtuous  woman. 

12  x\nd  now  it  is  true  that  I  am 
thy  near  kinsman :  howbeit  there 
is  a  kinsman  nearer  than  I. 

13  ''Tarry  this  night,  and  it 
shall  be  in  the  morning,  that  if  he 
will  perform  unto  "thee  the  part 
of  a  kinsman,  well;  let  him  do 
the  kinsman's  part :  but  if  he  will 
not  do  the  part  of  a  kinsman  to 
thee,  then  will  I  do  the  part 
of  a  kinsman  to  thee,  'ow  the 
Lord  liveth:  lie  down  until  the 
morning. 

14  Tf  And  she  lay  at  his  feet  un- 
til the  morning :  and  "she  rose  up 
before  one  could  know  another. 
And  *he  said.  Let  it  not  be 
known  that  a  woman  came  into 
the  floor. 

15  Also  he  said.  Bring  the  Vail 
that  thou  hast  upon  thee,  and 
hold  it.  And  when  she  held  it, 
''■'he  measured  six  measures  of 
^barley,  and  laid  it  on  her:  and 
"she  went  into  the  city. 

16  And  when  she  came  to  her 
mother  in  law,  she  said,  Who  art 
thou,  my  daughter?  And  she 
told  her  all  that  the  man  had 
done  to  her. 

17  And  she  said.  These  six 
ineasures  of  barley  gave  he  me; 
for  he  said  to  me.  Go  not  empty 
unto  thy  mother  in  law. 

18  Then  said  she,  Sit  still,  my 
daughter,  until  thou  know  how 
the  matter  will  fall:  for  the  man 
will  not  be  in  rest,  until  he  have 
finished  the  thine  this  da  v.

CHAPTER  4 

Boaz  calls  the  next  kinsman  bvtore  the  elders: 
6  but  he  refuses  to  redeem  the  Inlierttance 
of  FAimelech  according  to  the  manner  in 
Israel.  9  Boaz  buus  It.  10  lie  marries 
Ruth.  13  She  bears  Obed,  the  grandfather 
of  David.     18  The  generations  of  Phares. 

THEN  went  "Bo'az  up  to  the 
gate,  and  sat  hiin  down 
there:  and,  behold,  the  "kinsman 
of  whom  Bo'2,z  spake  came  by; 
unto  whom  he  said.  Ho,  such  a 
one!  turn  aside,  sit  down  here. 
And  he  turned  aside,  and  sat 
down. 

2  And  he  took  "^ten  men  of  tlie 
•^elders  of  the  city,  and  said,  Sit 
ye  down  here.  And  they  sat 
down. 

3  And  "he  said  unto  the  "kins- 
man, ^Na-o'ml,  that  is  come 
again  out  of  the  country  of  'Md'- 
ab,  selleth  a  parcel  of  land, 
which  was  our  brother  ^^-lim'e- 
lech's: 

4  And  I  thought  to  Adver- 
tise thee,  sa>ing,  Buy  '^it  before 
^the  ^inhabitants,  and  before  the 
'^•'^elders  of  my  people.  If  thou 
wilt  'redeem  it,  redeem  it:  but  if 
thou  wilt  not  redeem  it,  then  tell 
me,  that  I  may  know:  for  there  is 
none  to  redeem  it  beside  thee; 
and  I  am  after  thee.  And  *he 
said,  I  will  redeem  it. 

5  Then  said  "Bo'az,  What  day 
thou  buyest  the  field  of  the  hand 
of  *Xa-o'mI,  thou  must  buy  it 
also  of  ^Ruth  the  iSIo'ab-it-css, 
the  wife  of  the  dead,  to  ^rai.se  up 
the  name  of  the  dead  upon  his 
"inheritance. 

6  And  the  "kinsman  said,  I  can- 
not redeem  it  for  myself,  lest  I 
mar  mine  own  ''inheritance:  re- 
deem thou  my  right  to  thy.self; 
for  I  cannot  redeem  it. 

7  Now  this  ivas  the  manner  m 


former  time  in  l.s'ra-el  concern- 
ing 'redeeming  and  concerning 
changing,  for  to  '"confirm  all 
things;  a  man  plucked  off  hi.s 
"shoe,  and  gave  it  to  his  neigh- 
bour: and  this  ^wafta  testimony 
in  Ls'ra-el. 

8  Therefore  the  "kinsman  said 
unto  °Bo'S,z,  Buy  Ht  for  thee. 
So  he  drew  off  his  "shoe. 

9  TI  And  "Bd'itz  said  unto  the 
'^•'^elders,  and  unto  all  the  people, 
Ye  are  witnesses  this  day,  that 
I  have  "bought  *all  that  was 
"ft-lim'e-lech's,  and  all  that  ivas 
"Chil'i-on's  and  «Mah'Ion's,  of 
the  hand  of  ''Nit-d'ml. 

10  Moreover  *Ruth  the  'INIo'- 
ab-it-ess,  the  wife  of  Mah'lon, 
have  I  '^purchased  to  be  my 
'wife,  to  raise  up  the  name  of  the 
dead  upon  his  inheritance,  that 
the  name  of  the  dead  be  not  cut 
off  from  among  his  brethren, 
and  from  the  gate  of  his  place: 
ye  are  witnesses  this  day. 

11  And  all  the  people  that  were 
in  the  gate,  and  the  ''■'^elders, 
said,  JVe  are  'witnesses.  *The 
Lord  make  the  woman  that  is 
come  into  thine  house  like  'RiV- 
chel  and  like  "Le'ah,  which  two 
did  build  the  house  of  T.s'ra-el: 
and  do  thou  worthily  in  Eph'ra- 
tah,  and  be  famous  in  ''Beth'- 
Ic-hcm : 

12  'And  let  thy  hou.se  be  like 
the  house  of  "Tha'rez,  whom 
^Ta'mar  bare  unto  "JuMah,  of 
the  seed  which  the  Eord  shall 
give  thee  of  this  young  woman. 

13  t  So  ^Bd'az  took  '^Riith,  and 
she  was  his  "wife:  and  when  he 
went  in  unto  her,  the  TiORD  gave 
her  conception,  and  she  bare  a 
'^son.

CHAPTER  1 

Elkanah  and  his  two  U'ives  worship  yearly 
at  SMloh.  9  Hannah  prays  for  a  child 
and  makes  a  vow.  12  Ell  first  rebukes 
her,  afterward  blesses  her.  19  Having 
borne  ,Samuel,  24  she  presents  lilm  unto 
the  Lord,  according  to  her  vow. 

NOW  there  was  a  certain 
man  of  R  a-m  a  t  h-a'i  m- 
zo'phim,  of  mount  °E'phra-im, 
and  his  name  was  *El'ka-nah, 
the  son  of  '^Jer'o-ham,  tlie  son  of 
'^£-h'hu,  the  son  of  To'hu,  the 
son  of  Ziiph,  an  Eph'rath-ite: 

2  And  he  had  ''two  wives;  the 
name  of  the  one  ivas  *Hiin'nah, 
and  the  name  of  the  other  Pe- 
nin'nah  rand  Pe-nin'nah  had 
children,  but  H^n^nah  had  no 
children. 

3  And  this  ^man  went  up  out  of 


his  city  yearly  to  ^vorship  and  to 
sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts 
in  "Shl'loh.  And  the  two  sons 
of  +E'h,  ®Hoph'nI  and  "Phin'e- 
lias,  the  priests  of  the  Lord, 
were  there. 

4  And  when  the  time  was  that 
''El'ka-nah  offered,  he  gave  to 
Pe-nin'nali  his  wife,  and  to  all 
her  sons  and  her  daughters, 
portions : 

5  But  unto  *Han'nah  he  gave 
a  ^-'worthy  portion;  for  he  loved 
Han'nah:  but  the  Lord  had 
shut  up  her  womb. 

6  And  ^-'her  ^-^adversary  also 
'provoked  her  sore,  for  to  make 
her  fret,  because  the  Lord  had 
'"shut  up  her  womb.

7  And  as  he  'did  so  year  by 
year,  wlien  she  went  up  to  the 
"house  of  the  Lord,  so  sJic  pro- 
voked her;  therefore  she  "wept, 
and  did  not  eat. 

8  Then  said  "El'ka-nah  lier 
husband  to  her,  *IIan'nah,  why 
weepest  thou  ?  and  why  eatest 
thou  not  ?  and  why  is  thy  heart 
grieved  ?  am  not  I  better  to  thee 
than  ten  sons  ? 

9  ^  So  ■  ^'Hrin'nali  rose  up  after 
they  had  eaten  in  "Shi'loh,  and 
after  they  had  drunk.  Now 
■*"E'h  the  priest  sat  upon  a  seat 
by  a  post  of  the  "■'^  tern  pie  of 
the   LoKD. 

10  And  she  was  in  ^bitterness 
of  soul,  and  'prayed  unto  the 
lyORD,  and  ''wept  sore. 

1 1  And  she  vowed  a  "vow,  and 
*'said,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  if  thou 
wilt  indeed  look  on  the  '"afflic- 
tion of  thine  handmaid,  and  re- 
member me,  and  not  forget  thine 
handmaid,  but  wilt  give  unto 
thine  handmaid  a  "man  child, 
"then  I  will  give  him  unto  the 
Lord  all  the  days  of  his  life,  and 
•''there  shall  no  razor  come  upon 
his  head. 

12  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
*she  continued  'praying  before 
the  Lord,  that  "''E'll  marked 
her  mouth. 

13  Now  *Han'nah,  she  spake  in 
her  %eart;  only  her  lips  moved, 
but  her  voice  was  not  heard: 
therefore  E'h  ^thouglit  she  had 
been  "drunken. 

14  And  ^E'h  said  unto  her, 
''•'"How  long  wilt  thou  be  "drunk- 
en ?  put  away  thy  wine  from  thee. 

15  And  *Han'nah  answered 
and  said,  ''No,  my  lord,  I  am  a 
woman  of  a  sorrowful  s{)irit:  I 
have  drunk  neither  wine  nor 
strong  drink,  l)Ut  have  ''pouret 
out  my  soul  before  the  Lord. 


16  Count  not  thine  haii(hnaid 
for  a  ilaughter  of  iJe'li-al:  for  out 
of  the  abundance  of  my  com- 
plaint and  ^grief  have  I  spoken 
liitherto. 

17  Then  "•"E'll  answered  and 
said,  (Join  peace:  anil  /the  God 
of  Is'ra-el  grant  tliee  thy  petition 
that  thou  hast  asked  of  him. 

18  And  she  said,  Let  thine 
handmaid  find  grace  in  thy  sight. 
So  the  v.'oman  went  her  way,  and 
did  eat,  and  ^her  ''countenance 
was  no  more  sad. 

19  Tf  And  they  h'ose  up  in  the 
morning  early,  and  "worshipptnl 
before  the  Lord,  and  returned, 
and  came  to  their  house  to 
^Ra'mali:  and  'El'ka-nah  knew 
"Han'nah  his  wife;  and  the 
Lord  ''''remembered  her. 

20  Wherefore  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  time  was  come  about 
after  Haii'iiah  had  'conceived, 
tjiat  she  bare  a  son,  and  c.ilied 
his  name  '"Sam'u-el,  sai/ing, 
Because  I  have  asked  "him  of 
the  Lord, 

21  And  the  man  'El'ka-naii, 
and  all  his  house,  went  up  to 
offer  unto  the  Lord  the  "yearly 
sacrifice,  and  his  ^vow. 

22  But  *rian'nah  went  not  up; 
for  she  said  unto  her  husliand, 
/  will  not  go  up  until  the  cliild  be 
*weaned,  and  then  I  will  ''•''bring 
him,  that  he  may  appear  before 
the  IjOlii),  and  there  abide  for 
ever. 

23  And  ^El'ka-nah  her  husband 
said  unto  her.  Do  what  seemeth 
thee  good;  tarry  until  thou  have 
'^weaned  him;  only  tiie  Lord  es- 
tablish his  word.  So  tiie  woman 
abode,  and  gave  her  son  suck 
until  she  weaned  him. 

24  t     And    when    she    had 
1 1  ^weaned  him,  *she  took  him  up

'"said,  '*'*]\ly  heart  ''rejoi- 
ceth  in  the  Lord,  mine  horn 
is  exalted  in  the  Lord:  my 
mouth  is  enlarged  over  mine 
enemies;  because  I  rejoice  in 
thy  salvation. 

2  ''•''There  is  none  holy  as  the 
''Lord:  for  there  is  none  beside 
thee:  neither  is  there  any  rock 
like  our  God. 

3  Talk  no  more  so  exceed- 
ing ''proudly;  let  not  %rrogan- 
cy  come  out  of  your  mouth :  for 
the  Lord  is  a  God  of  knowl- 
edge, and  by  him  actions  are 
''^weighed. 

4  '^•^The  bows  of  the  mighty 
men  are  broken,  and  they 
that  stumbled  are  girded  with 
'strength. 

5  Thet/  that  were  full  have  hired 
out  themselves  for  bread;  and 
they  that  were  hungry  ceased: 
so  that  the  "'barren  hath  born 


"seven;  and  she  that  hath  many 
children  is  waxed  feeble. 

6  The  Lord  "killeth,  and 
^•^-''maketh  alive:  he  "bring- 
eth  down  to  the  grave,  and 
^'•''bringeth  up. 

7  The  Lord  maketh  *poor, 
and  'maketh  'rich:  he  bringeth 
low,   and    lifteth  up. 

8  'He  raiseth  up  the  "poor 
out  of  the  dust,  and  lifteth  up 
the  ^'"beggar  from  the  dunghill, 
to  set  them  among  princes,  and 
to  make  them  inherit  the  throne 
of  glory:  "'for  the  pillars  of  the 
■''earth  are  the  Lord's,  and  ^he 
hath  set  the  world  upon  them. 

9  ^He  will  keep  the  feet  of 
his  saints,  and  the  wicked  shall 
be  silent  in  "^darkness;  for  by 
strength  shall  no  man  prevail. 

10  The  adversaries  of  the 
''Lord  shall  be  broken  to  pieces ; 
out  of  heaven  shall  he  thunder 
upon  them:  the  Lord  shall 
'^judge  the  ends  of  the  earth;  and 
he  shall  give  strength  unto  his 
king,  and  exalt  the  horn  of  his 
anointed. 

11  1  And  '^Erka-nah  went  to 
^Ra'mah  to  his  house.  And  the 
'child  did  minister  unto  the 
Lord  before  ''E'h  the  Spriest. 

12  Now  the  ^''sons  of  E'll  were 
*sons  of  Be'li-al;  they  'knew  not 
the  Lord. 

13  And  the  priest's  custom  with 
the  people  was,  that,  when  any 
man  offered  sacrifice,  the  priest's 
servant  came,  while  the  flesh  was 
in  seething,  with  a  '"fleshhook 
of  three  teeth  in  his  hand; 

14  And  he  struck  it  into  the 
pan,  or  kettle,  or  ^caldron,  or 
pot;  "all  that  the  "'fleshhook 
brought  up  the  priest  took  for 
himself.  So  they  did  in  "Shf loh

came  thither.  I

18  ^  But  '-'Sam'u-el  ministered 
before  the  Lord,  bcinfj  a  child, 
girded  with  a  linen  ''ephod. 

19  Moreover  his  *•'•  "mother 
made  him  a  little  "coat,  and 
brought  it  to  him  from  year  to 
vear,  when  she  came  up  with 
"her  husband  to  ofTer  the  yearly 
sacrifice. 

20  And  ^E'li  blessed  '^El'ka-nah 
and  his  *wife,  and  said,  "'The 
Lord  give  thee  seed  of  this 
*woman  for  the  ''loan  which  is 
lent  to  the  Lord.  And  they 
went  unto  their  own  home. 

21  And  the  Lord  vi.sited 
^Han'nah,  so  that  she  conceived, 
and  bare  three  ''sons  and  two 
daughters.  And  the  child  ''Sam'- 
u-el  grew  l)efore  the  Lord. 

22  TI  Now  "E'lT  was  very  ^old, 
and  heard  all  that  his  sons  did 
unto  all  Ls'ra-el ;  and  how  "'''they 
'•''lay  with  the  ^vomen  that  'as- 
sembled at  the  door  of  the  ■'tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation. 

23  And  he  'said  unto  "-"them, 
Why  do  ye  such  things  ?  for  I 
hear  of  your  evil  dealings  by  all 
this  people. 

24  Nay,  my  sons;  for  if  is-  no 
good  report  that  I  hear:  ye 
"make  the  Lord's  peoj^le  to 
transgress. 

25  If  one  man  sin  against  an 


other,  ''the  judge  shall  jvulge 
him:  but  if  a  man  sin  against 
the  Lord,  who  shall  intreat 
for  him?  Notwithstanding  they 
''•'hearkened  not  unto  the  voice 
of  their  father,  because  the 
Lord  'would  slay  them. 

26  And  the  ^child  'Sam'u-el 
grew  on,  and  was  in  favour  both 
with  the  Lord,  and  also  with 
men. 

27  ^  And  there  came  a  man  of 
God  unto  ""E'li,  and  said  unto 
him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Did 
I  'plainly  appear  unto  the  house 
of  thy  father,  when  they  were  in 
"E'gvpt  ^in  "Pha'raoh's  house  ? 

28  And  did  I  choose  him  out  of 
all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  be  my 
priest,  to  offer  upon  mine  ''altar. 


to  burn  ''incense,  to  wear  an 
''ephod  before  me?  and  did  I 
give  unto  the  house  of  thy  father 
'all  the  offerings  made  by  fire  of 
the  children  of  I.s'ra-el  ? 

29  Wherefore  kick  ye  at  my 
sacrifice  and  at  mine  offering, 
which  I  have  commanded  in  my 
habitation;  and  honourest  thy 
sons  above  me,  to  make  your- 
selves fat  with  the  chiefest  of 
all  the  offerings  of  I.s'ra-el  my 
people  ? 

;;0  Whcn^fore  the  IvORD  God 
of   I.s'ra-el  .sailh,  I  said   indeed 
that  thy  house,  and  the  house  of 
thy  father,  should  walk  before 
me  for  ever:  but  now  the  Lord 
saith,    Be   it   far  from   me;   for 
them  that  honour  me  I  will  hon- 
our, and  Hhey  that  despise  me 
shall  be  lightly  esteemed. 
;U  Behold,  the  days  come,  that 
I  will  "cut  off  thine  arm,  and  die 
arm  of  thy  father's  hou.se,  that 
there  shall  not  be  an  old  man  in 
thine  house. 
32  And  "thou  shalt  "see  an  ene-

33  And  the  man  of  thine,  whom 

1  shall  not  cut  off  from  mine 
altar,  shall  be  "to  consume  thine 
eyes,  and  to  grieve  thine  heart: 
and  all  the  increase  of  thine 
house  "shall  die  in  the  flower  of 
their  age. 

34  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  un- 
to thee,  that  shall  come  upon 
thy  two  sons,  on  ^Hoph'nl  and 
^Phin'e-has;  "in  one  day  they 
shall  die  both  of  them. 

35  And  I  will  raise  me  up  a 
""faithful  priest,  that  shall  do  ac- 
cording to  that  which  is  in  mine 
heart  and  in  my  mind :  and  I  will 
build  him  a  sure  house;  and  he 
shall  walk  before  mine  anointed 
for  ever. 

36  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  every  one  that  is  left  in  thine 
house  shall  come  a7id  "crouch  to 
^him  for  a  piece  of  silver  and 
a  ^''morsel  of  bread,  and  shall

CHAPTER  3 

How  the  word  of  the  Lord  was  first  revealed 
to  Samuel.  11  God  foretells  to  Samuel 
the  destruction  of  ICll's  house.  15  Samuel, 
though  unwilling,  tells  Kll  the  vision.  20 
Samuel  cstabllsiwd  to  be  a  prophet. 

AND  the  "child  *Sam'u-e] 
ministered  unto  the  Lord 
before  "E'll.  And  the  Vord  of 
the  Lord  was  precious  in  those 
days;  there  was  no  open  '^vision. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that 
time,  when  *E'lI  was  laid  down 
in  his  place,  and  *his  eyes  began 
to  wax  dim.  that  he  could  not 
see; 

3  And  ere  the  -lamp  of  God 
went  out  in  the  "'^temple  of  the 


Lord,  where  the  *ark  of  God 
was,  and  *Sam'u-el  was  laid 
down  to  sleep; 

4  That    the    Lord    ^called 
Sam'u-el:    and    he    answered. 

Here  am  I. 

5  And  he  ran  unto  *E'li,  and 
said,  Here  am  I;  for  thou  calledst 
me.  And  he  said,  I  called  not; 
lie  down  again.  And  he  went 
and  lay  down. 

6  And  the  Lord  called  yet 
again,  *Sam'u-el.  And  Sam'u-el 
arose  and  went  to  ''E'li,  and  said. 
Here  am  I;  for  thou  didst  call 
m3.  And  he  answered,  I  called 
not,  my  son ;  lie  down  again. 

7  Now  *Sam'u-el  did  not  yet 
know  the  Lord,  neither  was  the 
word  of  the  Lord  yet  revealed 
unto  him. 

8  And  the  Lord  called  *Sam'- 
u-el  again  the  third  time.  And 
^he  arose  antl  went  to  ''l^yiT,  and 
said.  Here  am,  I;  for  thou  didst 
call  me.  And  E'll  perceived  that 
the  Lord  had  called  the  child. 

9  Therefore    *E'li    said    unto 
Sam'u-el,  Go,  lie  down:  and  it 

shall  be,  if  he  call  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  say,  Speak,  Lord;  for  thy 
servant  heareth.  So  Sam'u-el 
went  and  lay  down  in  his  place. 

10  And  the  Lord  came, 
and  stood,  and  called  as  at 
other  times,  *■  "Sam'u-el,  Sam'- 
u-el. Then  Sam'u-el  answered, 
Speak;  for  thy  servant  heareth. 

11  ]f  And  the  Lord  'said  to 
*Sam'u-el,  Behold,  I  will  do  a 
thing  in  Ls'ra-el,  at  which  both 
the  ears  of  every  one  that  heareth 
it  shall  tingle. 

12  In  that  day  I  will  perform

against  *E'li  all  things  wliicli 
I  have  spoken  concerning  his 
'"house:  Svhen  I  begin,  I  will 
also  make  an  end. 

13  For  I  have  told  him  that  I 
will  "judge  his  house  for  ever  for 
the  iniquity  which  he  knoweth; 
because  his  "sons  -made  them- 
selves vile,  and  ^'-^he  restrained 
them    not. 

14  And  therefore  I  have  sworn 
unto  the  house  of  *E'h,  that  the 
'iniquity  of  E'h's  '"•'house  shall 
not  be  purged  with  sacrifice  nor 
offering   for  ever. 

15  ^  And  *Sam^i-cl  lay  until 
the  morning,  and  opened  the 
doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
And  Sam'u-el  feared  to  shew 
"E'll  the  '^vision. 

16  Then  "E'll  called  *Sam'u-el, 
and  said,  Sam'u-el,  my  son.  And 
he  answered,  Here  am  I. 

17  And  he  said,  What  is  the 
thing  that  the  Lord  hath  said 
unto  thee?  I  pray  thee  hide 
it  not  from  me:  God  do  so 
to  thee,  and  more  also,  if 
thou  hide  miy  thing  from  me 
of  all  the  things  that  he  said 
unto   thee. 

18  And  *Sjlm'u-el  told  him 
every  whit,  and  hid  nothing  from 
him.  And  he  said,  'It  is  the 
Lord:  let  him  do  what  scemeth 
him   good. 

19  And  *'*^Sam'u-el  grew,  and 
the  Lord  was  with  him,  and  did 
let  none  of  his  words  fall  to  the 
ground. 

20  And  all  I.s'ra-el  from  "Dan 
even  to  "Be'er-she'ba  knew  that 
*Sam'u-cl  was  established  to  he 
a  "prophet  of  the  Lord. 

21  And  the  Lord  appeared 
again  in  ^Shl'loh:  for  the  Lord 
"'revealed  himself  to  *Sa,m'u-el 
in  Shi'loh  by  the  word  of  the 

I  Lord.

AND  the  word  of  "Sam'u-el 
came  to  all  "Ls'ra-el. 
Now  Is'ra-el  went  out  against 
the  '^Phi-lTs'tines  to  battle,  and 
pitched  beside  ^Eb'en-e'zer: 
and  the  Phi-lis'tines  pitched  in 
^A'phek. 

2  And  the  TliT-lls-tines  put 
themselves  in  array  against  ''Is'- 
ra-el: and  when  they  joined  bat- 
tle, Is'ra-el  was  smitten  before 
the  Phi-lis'tines :  and  they  slew 
of  the  ''army  in  the  field  about 
four  thousand  men. 

3  T[  And  when  the  people  were 
come  into  the  camp,  the  elders  i)f 
^Is'ra-el  said,  Wherefore  hath 
the  Lord  smitten  us  to  day  be- 
fore the  '^PhT-hs'tine.s  ?  Let  us 
fetch  the  ^ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  out  of  ''ShT'loh  unto 
us,  that,  when  it  cometh  among 
us,  it  may  save  us  out  of  the 
hand   of  our  enemies. 

4  So  the  people  .sent  to  ''Shl'ldh, 
that  they  might  bring  from 
thence  the  ''ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Hvhich 
dwelleth  <'hetween  the  cheru-

"IIoi)h'nI  and  'PliTn'c-has,  were 
there  with  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant of  God. 

5  And  when  the  ^ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  came  into 
the  camp,  all  Ts'ra-el  ^shouted 
with  a  great  shout,  so  that  the 
earth  rang  again. 

6  And  when  the  '^PhT-lTs'tlnes 
heard  the  noise  of  the 'shout,  they 
said,  What  mraneth  the  noise 
of  this  great  shout  in  the  camp 
of  the  ^He'brews?     And   they

understood  that  the  ^ark  of  the 
Lord  was  come  into  the  camp. 

7  And  the  "^Phi-lis'tines  were 
'afraid,  for  they  said,  God  is 
come  into  the  camp.  And  they 
said,  Woe  unto  us!  for  there  hath 
not  been  such  a  thing  heretofore. 

8  Woe  unto  us!  ^vho  shall  de- 
liver us  out  of  the  hand  of  these 
mighty  Gods  ?  these  are  the 
Gods  that  smote  the  '"^-gyp'- 
tians  with  all  the  plagues  in  the 
wilderness. 

9  "Be  strong,  and  quit  your- 
selves like  men,  O  ye  Thi-lis'- 
tine.s,  that  ye  be  not  servants 
unto  the  *^He'brew.s,  as  they 
have  been  to  you:  "quit  your- 
selves like  men,  and  fight. 

10  T[  And  the  '^Phi-lis'tine.s 
"fought,  and  Is'ra-el  ^was  smit- 
ten, and  they  'fled  every  man 
into  his  tent:  and  there  was  a 
very  great  slaughter;  for  there 
fell  of  Is'ra-el  thirty  thousand 
footmen. 

11  And  the  ''ark  of  God  was 
taken;  and  the  two  sons  of 
'■fi'li,  ''Hoph'nl  and  Thin'e-has, 
were  ^slain. 

12  T[  And  there  ran  a  man  of 
'Ben'ja-min  out  of  the  ''army, 
and  came  to  'ShI'loh  the  same 
day  with  his  clothes  rent,  and 
with  earth  upon  his  head. 

13  And  when  he  came,  lo,  ''E'll 
sat  upon  a  seat  by  the  wayside 
watching :  for  his  heart  trembled 
for  the  *ark  of  God.  iVnd  when 
the  man  came  into  the  city,  and 
told  it,  all  the  city  cried  out. 

14  And  when  ''E'h  heard  the 
noise  of  the  crying,  he  said, 
What  meaneth  the  noise  of  this 
tumult  ?  And  the  man  came  in 
hastily,  and  told  E'll. 

15  Now  ''E'll  was  'ninety  and 
eight  years  old ;  and  his  eyes  were 
dim,  that  he  "could  not  see. 

16  And  the  man  said  unto  ''pyil, 
I  am  he  that  came  out  of  the 
"army,  and  I  fled  to  day  out  of 


the  army.    And  he  said.  What 
is  there  done,  my  son  ? 

17  And  the  messenger  answered 
and  said,  ''I.s'ra-el  is  fled  before 
the  '^Phi-lis'tines,  and  there  hath 
been  also  a  great  slaughter 
among  the  people,  and  thy  two 
sons  also,  ''Hoph'nl  and  ^Phiii'e- 
has,  are  dead,  and  the  ^ark  of 
God  is  taken. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
made  mention  of  the  ''ark  of 
God,  that  '^he  fell  from  off  the 
seat  backward  by  the  side  of  the 
"■gate,  and  his  neck  brake,  and 
he  ^died:  for  he  was  an  old 
man,  and  heavy.  And  ''^he  had 
'judged  '^Is'ra-el  forty  years. 

19  ^  And  his  daughter  in 
law,  ''Phin'e-has'  wife,  was  with 
chikl,  7iear  to  be  delivered:  and 
when  she  heard  the  tidings  that 
the  ''ark  of  God  was  taken,  and 
that  her  father  in  law  and  her 
husband  were  dead,  she  bowed 
herself  and  "travailed;  for  her 
pains  came  upon  her. 

20  And  about  the  time  of  her 
death  the  women  that  stood  by 
her  said  unto  her,  Fear  not;  for 
thou  hast  born  a  son.  But  she 
answered  not,  neither  did  she 
regard  it. 

21  And  she  named  the  child 
''I'-cha-bod,  saying.  The  glory 
is  departed  from  Is'ra-el:  be- 
cause the  "ark  of  God  was  taken, 
and  because  of  her  father  in  law 
and  her  husband. 

22  And  she  said,  The  glory  is 
departed  from  Ls'ra-el:  for  the 
■"ark  of  God  is  taken.

The  Philistines  bring  the  ark  into  the  house 
of  Dagon  at  Ashdod.  3  Dagon  falls

3  T[  And  when  they  of  '^Ash'dod 
arose  early  on  the  morrow,  be- 
hold, 'Da'gon  was  fallen  upon 
his  face  to  the  earth  before  ''the 
ark  of  the  Lord.  And  they  took 
Da'gon,  and  set  him  in  his  place 
again. 

4  And  when  they  arose  early  on 
the  morrow  morning,  behold, 
^Da'gon  was  fallen  upon  his  face 
to  the  ground  before  the  ''ark  of 
the  Lord;  and  the  head  of 
Da'gon  and  both  the  palms  of 
his  hands  were  cut  off  upon 
the  threshold;  only  the  stump  of 
Da'gon  was  left  to  him. 

5  Therefore  neither  the  "priests 
of  'Da'gon,  nor  any  that  come 
into  Da'gon's  house,  tread  on  the 
threshold  of  Da'gon  in  '^Ash'dod 
unto  this  day. 

6  ^  But  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  heavy  upon  them  of  '^Ash'- 
d6d,  and  he  destroyed  them,  and 
''smote  them  with  ^'^emerods, 
even  Ash'dSd  and  the  ^coasts 
thereof. 

7  And  when  the  men  of  '^Ash'- 
d6d  saw  that  it  was  so,  they  said, 
The  "ark  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el 
shall  not  abide  with  us:  for  his 
hand  is  sore  upon  us,  and  upon 
'Da'gon  our  god. 

8  They  sent  therefore  and  gath- 
ered all  the  lords  of  the  "Phi- 
lis'tine.5  unto  them,  and  said. 
What  shall  we  do  with  the  "ark 
of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  ?  An<l  they 
answered.  Let  the  ark  of  the 
God  of  Ls'ra-el  be  carried  about 
unto  'G3,th.  And  they  carried 
the  ark  of  the  God  of  Ls'ra-el 
about    thither. 

9  And  it  was  so,  that,  after  they 
had  carried  it  about,  the  hand  of 
the  Lord  was  again.st  the  city 
with  a  very  great  Me.struction : 
and  he  *smote  the  men  of  the 
city,  both  small  and  great,  and 


Hhey  had  'emerods  in  their  se- 
cret parts. 

10  Tf  Therefore  they  sent  the 
"ark  of  God  to  ^Ek'ron.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  as  the  ark  of  God 
came  to  Ek'ron,  that  the  Ek'- 
ron-ites  cried  out,  sa}ing.  They 
have  brought  about  the  "ark  of 
the  God  of  Ls'ra-el  to  us,  to  slay 
us  and  our  people. 

11  So  they  sent  and  gathered 
together  all  the  lords  of  the  "Phi- 
lis'tine.s,  and  said.  Send  away  the 
"ark  of  the  God  of  Ls'ra-el,  and 
let  it  go  again  to  his  own  place, 
that  it  slay  us  not,  and  our 
people:  for  there  was  a  deadly 
^•''destruction  throughout  all  the 
city;  the  'hand  of  God  was  very 
heavy  there. 

12  And  the  men  that  died  not 
were  smitten  with  the  '''eme- 
rods: and  the  cry  of  the  city 
went  up  to   heaven. 

CHAPTER  6 

After  seven  months  the  Philistines  take 
counsel  how  to  send  back  the  ark.  10 
They  bring  it  on  a  new  cart  unto  Beth- 
shernesh.  13  Tlie  people  of  that  place  are 
smitten  fo.- looking  into  the  ark.  21  They 
send  to  the  men  of  Ktrjath-Jearim  to 
fetch  it. 

AND  the  "ark  of  the  Lord 
was  in  the  country  of  the 
"Phi-lis'tines  seven  months. 

2  And  the  "Phi-lis'tines  called 
for  the  priests  and  the  Miviners, 
saying,  What  shall  we  do  to  the 
"ark  of  the  Lord  ?  tell  us  where- 
with we  shall  send  it  to  his  place. 

3  And  they  said,  If  ye  send 
away  the  "ark  of  the  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el, .send  it  not  empty;  but  in 
any  wise  return  him  a  '-"tres- 
pass offering:  then  ye  shall  be 
healed,  and  it  shall  be  known  to 
you  why  his  hand  is  not  removed 
from  you. 

4  Then  said  they,  What  shall  be 
the  'trespass  '^offering  which  we 
shall  return  to  him  ?  They  an- 
swered. Five  golden  ^■''emerods, 
and  five  golden  'mice,  according 
to  the  number  of  the  lords  of  the

''Phi-lis'tines :  for  one  "plague 
was  on  you  all,  and  on  your 
lords. 

5  Wherefore  ye  shall  make  im- 
ages of  your  ^-^emerods,  and  im- 
ages of  your  ''mice  that  ''mar  the 
land;  and  ye  shall  give  glory  un- 
to the  God  of  Is'ra-el:  perad ven- 
ture he  will  lighten  his  hand 
from  off  you,  and  from  off  your 
gods,  and  from  off  your  land. 

6  Wherefore  then  do  ye  ''harden 
your  hearts,  as  the  *fi-gyp'tian.3 
and  'Pha'raoh  ''hardened  their 
hearts  ?  when  he  had  wrought 
^wonderfully  among  them,  'did 
they  not  let  the  '"people  go,  and 
they  departed  ? 

7  Now  therefore  make  a  new 
"cart,  and  take  two  milch  "kine, 
on  which  there  hath  come  no 
*yoke,  and  tie  the  kine  to  the 
cart,  and  bring  their  calves  home 
from  them: 

8  And  take  the  '^ark  of  the 
Lord,  and  lay  it  upon  the  "cart; 
and  put  the  ^jewels  of  gold, 
which  ye  return  him  for  a  ^•''tres- 
pass offering,  in  a  coffer  by  the 
side  thereof;  and  send  it  away, 
that  it  may  go, 

9  And  see,  if  it  goeth  up  by  the 
way  of  ^his  own  coast  to  ^Beth- 
she'mesh,  then  he  hath  done  us 
this  great  evil :  but  if  not,  then  we 
shall  know  that  it  is  not  his  hand 
that  smote  us;  it  was  a  chance 
that  happened  to  us. 

10  T[  And  the  men  did  so;  and 
took  two  milch  "kine,  and  tied 
them  to  the  "cart,  and  shut  up 
their  calves  at  home: 

11  And  they  laid  the  "ark  of  the 
Lord  upon  the  "cart,  and  the 
coffer  with  the  'mice  of  gold  and 
the  images  of  their  ^-^emerods. 


12  And  the  "kine  took  the 
straight  way  to  the  way  of 
*Beth-she'mesh,  and  went  along 
the  highway,  lowing  as  they 
went,  and  turned  not  aside  to 
the  right  hand  or  to  the  left; 
and  the  lords  of  the  "Phi-lis'- 
tine§  went  after  them  unto  the 
border  of  Beth-she'mesh. 

13  And  they  of  «Beth-she'mesh 
were  ^reaping  their  wheat  '^har- 
vest  in  the  valley:  and  they  lifted 
up  their  eyes,  and  saw  the  "ark, 
and  rejoiced  to  see  it. 

14  And  the  "cart  came  into  the 
field  of  Josh'u-a,  a  Beth-she'- 
mlte,  and  stood  there,  where 
there  was  a  great  stone:  and  they 
clave  the  wood  of  the  cart,  and 
offered  the  kine  a  *burnt  offering 
unto  the  Lord. 

15  And  the  Le'vltes  took  down 
the  °ark  of  the  I^ord,  and  the 
coffer  that  was  with  it,  wherein 
the  ^jewels  of  gold  were,  and  put 
them  on  the  great  stone :  and  the 
men  of  Beth-she'mesh  offered 
^burnt  offerings  and  sacrificed 
sacrifices  the  same  day  unto  the 
Lord. 

16  And  when  the  five  lords  of 
the  Thi-lis'tmcs  had  seen  it, 
they  returned  to  'Ek'ron  the 
same  day. 

17  And  these  are  the  golden 
^•^emerods  which  the  Thi-lis'- 
ttnes  returned  for  a  ^•''trespass 
offering  unto  the  Lord;  for 
^Ash'dSd  one,  for  "Ga'za  one, 
for  ^As'ke-lon  one,  for  "'Gath 
one,  for  'Ek'ron  one; 

18  And  the  golden  ''mice,  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  all  the 
cities  of  the  *Phi-lis'tine§  helong-

19  Tf  And  he  ^sraote  the  men  of

had  ^looked  into  the  "ark  of  the

21  Ajid  they  sent  messengers  to

have  brought  agam  tlie  "ark  of 
the  Lord;  come  ye  down,  and 
fetch  it  up  to  you. 

CHAPTER  7 

They  of  Klrjatli-Jearim  bring  the  ark  into 
the  liouse  of  Ahinadnb,  where  it  remains 
twenty  years.  3  The  Israelites,  at  Sain- 
nel's  exhortation,  repent  at  Afizpeh.  9 
While  Samuel  prays  and  sacrifices,  the 
Lord  discomfits  the  Philistines.  \S  They 
are  subdued.      15  Samuel  judges  Israel 

AND  the  men  of  '^Kir'jath-jc'- 
a-rim  came,  and  fetched 
up  the  *ark  of  the  Lord,  and 
brought  it  into  the  house  of 
"A-bin'a-dab  in  the  hill,  and 
sanctified  E-Ie-a'zar  his  son  to 
keep  the  ark  of  the  IvORD. 

2  And  it  ciime  to  pass,  while  the 
''ark  al)ode  in  "Klr'jath-jO'a- 
rira,  that  the  time  was  long;  for 
it  was  twenty  years:  and  all  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el  lamented  after 
the  Lord. 

3  Tf  And  'Sam'u-el  spake  unto 
all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  saying, 
''If  ve  do  return  unto  the  "Lord 


with  all  your  hearts,  f/ie7i  put 
away  the  strange  gods  and  ^xVsh'- 
ta-roth  from  among  you,  and 
prepare  your  hearts  unto  the 
Lord,  and  serve  him  only:  and 
he  will  deliver  you  out  of  the 
han<l   of  the   Phi-lis'tTiies. 

4  Then  ^the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
''did  put  away  *Ba'al-im  and 
''Ash'ta-roth,  and  served  the 
Lord  only. 

5  And  'Sam'u-el  said,  ''Gather 
all  Is'ra-el  to  ^Miz'pch,  and  I 
will  ^-'pniy  for  you  unto  the 
Lord. 

C  x\nd  ^they  gathered  together 
to  ^ISIiz'peh,  and  drew  '"water, 
and  poured  it  out  before  the 
Lord,  and  ''fasted  on  that  day, 
and  said  there,  ''-"We  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord.  And 
'^■''Siim'u-cl  judged  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  in  jSliz'peh. 

7  And  when  the  *Phi-lis'tine.s 
heard  that  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el were  gathered  together  to 
'Miz'peh,  the  lords  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tines  went  up  against  Is'ra-el. 
And  when  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el heard  if,  they  were  afraid 
of  the  PhT-lis'tines. 

8  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
said  to  "^'^Sam'u-el,  Cease  not  to 
*'^cry  unto  the  Lord  our  God 
for  us,  that  he  will  ''save  us  out

10  And  as  ^•^Sam'u-el  was  of- 
fering up  the  *burnt  'offering,

the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  discomfited 
them;  and  they  were  smitten 
before   Ls'ra-el. 

1 1  And  the  men  of  I§'ra-el  went 
out  of  *Miz'peh,  and  pursued  the 
'Phi-lis'tine.s,  and  smote  them, 
until  they  came  under  Beth'-cilr. 

12  Then  '^"Sam'u-el  took  a 
"'••^stone,  and  set  it  between 
'Miz'peh  and  Shen,  and  called 
the  name  of  it  ^Eb'en-e'zer, 
saying,  Hitherto  hath  the  Lord 
helped   us. 

13  So  the  «Phi-lis'tTne.s  were 
subdued,  and  they  came  no 
more  ^into  the  coast  of  ^Ls'ra-el: 
and  the  "hand  of  the  Lord  was 
against  the  PhT-lis'tine.s  all  the 
days  of  ''Sam'u-el. 

14  And  the  cities  which  the 
'^Phi-lTs'tine.s  hatl  taken  from  I.s'- 
ra-el  were  restored  to  Ls'ra-el, 
from  ''Ek'ron  even  unto  ^Gath; 
and  the  ^coasts  thereof  did  Ls'- 
ra-el deliver  out  of  the  hands  of 
the  Phi-lTs'tine.s.  And  there  was 
peace  between  Ls'ra-el  and  the 
''Am'dr-Ites. 

15  ^  And  *Sam'u-el  ''judged 
Ls'ra-el  all  the  days  of  his  life. 

16  And  *'^he  went  from  year 
to  year  in  ''circuit  to  'Beth'-el, 
and  'Gil'gal,  and  '^Miz'peh,  and 
''judged  Ls'ra-el  in  all  those  places. 

17  And  *his  return  was  to  'Ra'- 
mah;  for  there  was  his  house; 
and  there  ^he  judged  Ls'ra-el; 
and  there  he  built  an  ""altar 
unto  the   Lord. 

CHAPTER  8 

Because  of  the  ill  government  of  Samuel's 
sons,  the  Israelites  ask  a  king.  6  Samuel, 
displeased  thereat,  is  comforted  of  God. 
10  lie  describes  to  them  the  manner  of  a 
king.  19  Because  of  their  importunlti/, 
God  directs  Samuel  to  make  them  a  king. 

ND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
°Sam'u-el  was  "old,  that 
he  made  his  sons  '^•''judges  over 
*  Ls'ra-el. 


A 


2  Now  the  name  of  his  firstborn 
was  'Jo'el;  and  the  name  of 
his  second,  "A-bi'ah:  theij  were 
judges  in  ''Be'er-she'ba. 

3  And  his  'sons  walked  not  in 
his  ways,  but  '^•'^•'turned  aside 
after  lucre,  and  took  bribes, 
and  perverted  judgment. 

4  Then  all  the  ^^ 'elders  of 
*  Ls'ra-el  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, and  came  to  "Sam'u-el 
unto  '"Ra'mah, 

5  And  said  unto  him.  Behold, 
thou  art  "old,  and  thy  'sons  walk 
not  in  thy  ways:  now  make  *us 
a  "king  to  judge  us  like  all  the 
nations. 

G  Tf  But  the  thing  displeased 
"Sam'u-el,  when  they  said.  Give 
us  a  "king  to  judge  us.  And 
SS,m'u-el  Sprayed  unto  the 
Lord. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
"Sam'u-el,  Hearken  unto  the 
voice  of  the  people  in  all  that 
they  say  unto  thee:  for  they  have 
not  rejected  thee,  but  'they  have 
rejected  ''me,  that  'I  should  not 
^reign  over  them. 

8  According  to  all  the  works 
which  they  have  done  since  the 
day  that  I  'brought  them  up  out 
of  "E'gypt  even  unto  this  day, 
^wherewith  they  have  forsaken 
me,  and  "served  other  gods,  so 
do  they  also  unto  thee. 

9  Now  therefore  hearken  unto 
their  voice:  howbeit  ^yet  protest 
solemnly  unto  them,  and  shew 
them  the  manner  of  the  king 
that  shall  reign  over  them. 

10  H  And  "Sam'u-el  told  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord  unto  the  peo- 
ple that  asked  of  him  a  "king. 

11  And  he  said,  "'This  will  be 
the  manner  of  the  ^king  that 
shall  reign  over  you:  He  will  take 
your  sons,  and  appoint  them  for

the  land  of  '^Shari-sha,  but  they 
found  them  not:  then  they  passed 
through  the  land  of  Sha'lim,  and 
there  they  were  not:  and  he 
passed  through  the  land  of  the 
"Ben'ja-niites,  but  they  found 
theTu  not. 

5  And  when  they  were  come 
to  the  land  of  Zuph,  '^Saul  said 
to  his  servant  that  was  with 
him,  Come,  and  let  us  return; 
lest  my  father  leave  caring 
for  the  asses,  and  take  thought 
for  us. 

6  And  he  said  unto  him,  Be- 
hold now,  there  is  in  tliis  city  a 
'^man  of  God,  and  he  is  an  hon- 
ourable man;  all  that  he  saith 
Cometh  surely  to  pass:  now  let 
us  go  thither;  perad venture  he 
can  shew  us  our  way  that  we 
should  go. 

7  Then  said  ^Saul  to  his  serv- 
ant, But,  behold,  if  we  go,  %hat 
shall  we  bring  the  man  ?  for 
the  bread  is  spent  in  our  vessels, 
and  there  is  not  a  present  to 
bring  to  the  man  of  God:  what 
have  we  ? 

8  And  the  servant  answered 
^S.;iul  again,  and  said.  Behold, 
I  have  here  at  hand  the  fourth 
part  of  a  ^shekel  of  silver:  ^that 
will  I  give  to  the  man  of  God,  to 
tell  us  our  way. 

9  (Beforetime  in  Is'ra-el,  when 
a  man  went  to  enquire  of  God, 
thus  he  spake.  Come,  and  let  us 
go  to  the  seer:  for  he  that  is  now 
called  a  Prophet  was  beforetime 
called  a  Seer.) 

10  Then  said  ^Saul  to  his  serv- 
ant. Well  said;  come,  let  us  go. 
So  they  went  unto  the  city  where 
the  man  of  God  was. 

11  ^  And  as  they  went  up  the 
hill  to  the  city,  they  found  young 
^maidens  going  out  to  draw 
water,  and  said  unto  them,  Is 
the   seer  here  ? 

12  And  they  answered  them, 
and  said,  He  is;  behold,  he  is  be- 


fore you :  make  haste  now,  for  he 
came  to  day  to  the  city;  for  there 
is  a  sacrifice  of  the  people  to  day 
in  the  *high  place: 

13  As  soon  as  ye  be  come  into 
the  city,  ye  shall  straightway 
find  him,  before  he  go  up  to  the 
*high  place  to  eat :  for  the  people 
will  not  eat  until  he  come,  be- 
cause he  doth  'bless  the  '^'sacri- 
fice; a7id  afterwards  they  eat 
that  be  bidden.  Now  therefore 
get  you  up;  for  about  this  time 
ye  shall  find  him. 

14  And  they  went  up  into  the 
city:  and  when  they  were  come 
into  the  city,  behold,  'Sam'u-el 
came  out  against  them,  for  to  go 
up  to  the  'high  place. 

15  Tf  Now  the  liORD  had  told 
^''•'"Sam'u-el  in  his  ear  a  day 
before  ^Saul  came,  saying, 

16  To  morrow  about  this  time  I 
will  send  thee  a  man  out  of  the 
land  of  ''Bcn'ja-min,  and  thou 
shalt  "anoint  him  to  be  "captain 
over  my  people  Is'ra-el,  that  he 
may  save  my  peoj^le  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  '^Phi-lTs'tines :  for 
^I  have  looked  upon,  my  people, 
because  their  cry  is  come 
unto    me. 

17  And  when  ^Sam'u-el  saw 
^Saul,  the  ''Lord  said  unto  him, 
Behold  the  wan  whom  I  spake 
to  thee  of!  *this  same  shall  reign 
over  my  people. 

18  Then  ^Saul  drew  near  to 
'Sam'u-el  in  the  gate,  and  said, 
Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  where  the 
seer's  house  is. 

19  And  'Sam'u-el  answered

said,  "Am  not  I  a  Ben'ja-nilte, 
of  the  smallest  of  the  tribes 
of  Is'ra-el  ?  and  "my  family

and  his  servant,  and  brought 
them  into  the  ^parlour,  and 
made  them  sit  in  the  ^chiefest 
place  among  them  that  were  bid- 
den, which  were  about  thirty 
persons. 

2.3  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  the 
cook,  Bring  the  portion  which  I 
gave  thee,  of  which  I  said  unto 
thee,  Set  it  by  thee. 

24  And  the  cook  took  up  the 
^shoulder,  and  that  which  was 
upon  it,  and  set  it  before  ''^S.iul. 
And  'Sam'u-el  said.  Behold  that 
which  "is  left!  set  it  before  thee, 
and  eat:  for  unto  this  time  hath 
it  been  kept  for  thee  since  I  said, 
I  have  invited  the  people.  So 
Saul  did  eat  with  Sam'u-el  that 
day. 

25  %  And  when  they  were  come 
down  from  the  'high  place  into 
the  city,  ^Sam'u-el  communed 
with  ^Suul  upon  the  top  of  the 
"'house. 

26  And  they  ^arose  early:  and 
it  came  to  pass  about  the  spring 
of  the  day,  that  'Sam'u-el  called 
^  ^Saul  to  the  top  of  the  "'house, 
saying,  I"p,  that  I  may  send  thee 
away.  And  Saul  arose,  and  tlu^y 
went  out  both  of  them,  he  and 
Sam'u-el,  abroad. 

27  Ayjd  as  tliey  were  going 
down  to  the  end  of  the  city, 
'Sa.m'u-el  said  to  ^Saul,  Bid  the

he  pa.ssed  on,)  but  stand  thou 
still  awhile,  that  I  may  shew  thee

fore me  to  ^Girgal;  and,  behold, 
I  will  come  down  unto  thee,  to 
offer  ^burnt  offerings,  and  to 
sacrifice  sacrifices  of  ^peace  of- 
ferings: "seven  days  shaft  thou 
tarry,  till  I  come  to  thee,  and 
shew  thee  what  thou  shalt  do. 

9  ^  x\nd  it  was  so,  that  when 
''he  had  turned  his  back  to  go 
from  '"Sam'u-el,  God  gave  him 
''another  *heart:  and  all  those 
signs  came  to  pass  that  day. 

10  And  when  they  came  thither 
to  the  hill,  behold,  a  company  of 
prophets  met  "him;  and  the  Spir- 
it of  God  came  upon  him,  and 
he  prophesied  among  them. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  that  knew  him  beforetime 
saw  that,  behold,  he  prophesied 
among  the  prophets,  then  the 
peo])le  said  one  to  another.  What 
is  this  iliat  is  come  unto  the  son 
of  Kish  ?  Is  ''Saul  also  among 
the  prophets  ? 

12  And  one  of  the  same  place 
answered  and  said.  But  who  is 
their  father  ?  Therefore  it  be- 
came a  proverb,  ^Is  Saul  also 
among  the  prophets  ? 

13  And  when  "he  had  made  an 
end  of  prophesying,  he  came  to 
the  "high  place. 

14  ^  And  "Saul's  uncle  said 
unto  him  and  to  his  servant, 
Whither  went  ye  ?  And  he  said. 
To  seek  the  asses :  and  when  we 
saw  that  they  were  no  where,  we 
came  to  ''Sam'u-el.

me,  I  pray  thee,  what  ''SS.m'u-el 
said  unto  you. 

16  And  "Saul  said  unto  his  un- 
cle. He  told  us  plainly  that  the 
asses  were  found.  But  of  the 
matter  of  the  kingdom,  whereof 
'^Sam'u-el  spake,  he  told  him 
not. 

17  t  And  "Sam'u-el  called  the 


people  together  unto  the  Lord 
to  ''Miz'peh; 

18  And  said  unto  the  children 
of  'Ls'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  I  'brought  up 
Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt,  and  'de- 
livered you  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  '''E-gvp'tians,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of  all  kingdoms,  and  of 
them  that  oppressed  you:

"saved  you  out  of  all  your  ^-  "ad-

and  ye  have  said  unto  him,  Nay, 
but  set  a  ^king  over  us.  Now 
therefore  present  yourselves  be- 
fore the  Lord  by  your  tribes, 
and  by  your  thousands. 

20  And  when  '^Sam'u-el  had 
caused  all  the  trilies  of  'Ls'ra-el 
to  come  neai',  the  tribe  of  *Ben'- 
ja-min  ''was  taken. 

21  When  he  had  caused  the 
tribe  of  *Ben'ja-min  to  come 
near  by  their  families,  the  family 
of  ]Ma'trI  was  taken,  and  "'^Saul 
the  son  of  'Kish  ''was  taken :  and 
when  they  sought  him,  he  could 
not  be  found. 

22  Therefore  they  enquired  of 
the  Lord  further,  if  the  man 
should  yet  come  thither.  And 
the  Lord  answered,  Behold,  he 
hath  hid  himself  among  the 
stuff. 

23  And  they  ran  and  fetched 
"him  thence :  and  when  he  stood 
among  the  people,  he  was  higher 
than  any  of  the  people  from  his 
shoulders  and  upward.

is  none  like  him  among  all  the

and  all  the  men  of  Ja'besh  said 
unto  Xa'hash,  Make  a  covenant 
with  us,  and  we  will  serve  thee. 

2  And  *Na'h:ish  the  Am'mon- 
ite  answered  them,  On  this  con- 
dition will  I  make  a  covenant 
with  you,  that  I  may  thrust  out 
all  your  right  eyes,  and  lay  it  jor 
a  reproach  u{)on  all  Is'ra-el. 

3  And  the  ''elders  of  Ja'besh 
said  unto  him,  Give  us  ''seven 
days'  respite,  that  we  may  send 
messengers  unto  all  the  k'oasts 
of  Ls'ra-el:  and  then,  if  iJicre  he 
no  man  to  save  us,  we  will  come 
out  to  thee. 

4  ^  Then  came  the  messengers 
to  ^Gib'e-ah  of  /Saul,  and  told 
the  tidings  in  the  ears  of  the  peo- 
ple: and  all  the  people  lifted  up 
their  voices,  and  wept. 

5  And,  behold,  /Saul  came  after 
the  herd  out  of  the  field;  and 
Saul  said,  What  aileth  the  people 
that  they  weep  ?  And  they  told 
him  the  tidings  of  the  men  of 
Ja'besh. 

6  And  the  Spirit  of  God  came 
upon  /Saul  when  he  heard  those 
tidings,  and  his  "anger  was  kin- 
dled greatlv. 


7  And  he  took  a  yoke  of  oxen, 
and  hewed  them  in  pieces,  and 
sent  them  throughout  all  the 
^coasts  of  Ls'ra-el  by  the  hands 
of  messengers,  saying,  ''Whoso- 
ever Cometh  not  forth  after  /Saul 
and  after  'Sam'u-el,  so  shall  it 
be  done  unto  his  oxen.  And  the 
fear  of  the  Lord  fell  on  the 
people,  and  they  came  out  with 
one  consent. 

8  And  when  he  'numbered 
'^them  in  Be'zek,  the  children 
of  'Is'ra-cl  were  three  hundred 
thousand,  and  the  men  of  "'Ju'- 
dah  thirty  thousand. 

9  And  they  said  unto  the  mes- 
sengers that  came,  Thus  shall  ye 
say  unto  the  men  of  ''Ja'besh- 
gil'e-ad,  To  morrow,  by  that 
time  the  sun  be  hot,  ye  shall  have 
help.  And  the  messengers  came 
and  shewed  it  to  the  men  of 
Ja'besh;  and  they  were  glad. 

10  Therefore  the  men  of  Ja'- 
besh said,  "To  morrow  we  will 
come  out  unto  you,  and  ye  shall 
do  with  us  all  that  secmcth  good 
unto  you. 

11  And  it  was  so  on  the  mor- 
row, that  Saul  put  the  people  in 
"three  companies;  and  they 
came  into  the  mitlst  of  the  host 
in  the  nioining  ^watch,  and  slew 
the  "Am'mon-Ites  until  the  heat 
of  the  day:  and  it  came  to  pass, 
that  they  which  remained  were 
scattered,  so  that  two  of  them 
were  not  left  together. 

12  •[[  And  the  people  said  unto

15  And  all  the  people  went  to

'Saul  king  before  the  Lord  in 
Gil'gal ;  and  there  they  sacrificed 
sacrifices  of  "'peace  offerings  be-

and  all  the  men  of  Ls'ra-el  re-

CHAPTER  12 

Samuel  testifies  to  Israel  fits  integrity.  6 
He  recounts  God's  dealings  with  their 
fathers:  16  and,  by  means  of  thunder  in 
harvest,  convinces  them  of  their  sin  in  ask- 
ing a  king:  20  but  comforts  them  in  the 
hope  of  God's  mercy,  if  obedient. 

AND  "'"Sam'u-el  said  unto 
all  Is'ra-el,  Behold,  I  have 
hearkened  unto  your  voice  in 
all  that  ye  said  unto  me,  and 
have  made  a  '^king  over  you. 

2  And  now,  behold,  the  king 
walketh  before  you:  and  I  am 
'^old  and  grayheaded;  and,  be- 
hold, my  sons  are  with  you:  and 
I  have  walked  before  you  from 
my  childhood  unto  this  day. 

3  Behold,  here  ^I  am:  witness 
against  me  before  the  Lord, 
and  before  his  anointed:  %hose 
ox  have  I  taken  ?  or  whose  ass 
have  I  taken  ?  or  whom  have  I 
defrauded  ?  whom  have  I  op- 
pressed ?  or  of  whose  hand  have 
I  'received  any  ''bribe  to  ])liiid 
mine  eyes  therewith  ?  and  I  will 
restore  it  you. 

4  And  they  said,  Thou  ''hast 
not  defrauded  us,  nor  oppressed 
us,  neither  hast  thou  taken  ought 
of  any  man's  hand. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  The 
Lord  is  witness  against  you, 
and  his  anointed  is  witness  this 
day,  that  ye  have  not  found 
ought  in  my  hand.  And  they 
answered,  ^Ile  is  witness. 

6  T[  And  °Sam'u-el  said  unto 
the  people,  It  is  the  'Lord  that 
advanced  ''^Mo'se.g  and  'x\ar'on, 
and  that  'brought  your  fathers 
up  out  of  the  land  of  '"pygypt. 


7  Now  therefore  stand  still,  that 
"I  may  reason  with  you  before 
the  Lord  of  all  the  righteous 
acts  of  the  Lord,  which  he  did 
to  you  and  to  your  fathers. 

8  When  "Ja'cob  was  come  into 
'"E'gypt,  and  your  fathers  ''cried 
unto  the  Lord,  then  the  Lord 
sent  ^JMo'ses  and  ^Aar'on,  which 
brought  forth  your  fathers  out  of 
E'gypt,  and  made  them  dwell  in 
''this  place. 

9  And  when  they  forgat  the 
Lord  their  God,  he  '^■*sold  them 
into  the  hand  of  'Sis'e-ra,  cap- 
tain of  the  host  of  "Ha'zor,  and 
into  the  hand  of  the  ''Phi-lis'- 
tines,  and  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  ^''Mo'ab,  and  they  fought 
against  them. 

10  And  ''they  ^cried  unto  the 
IvORD,  and  said,  ^We  have 
sinned,  because  we  have  for- 
saken the  Lord,  and  have 
served  ^Ba'al-im  and  "Ash'ta- 
roth:  l>ut  now  deliver  us  out 
of  the  hand  of  our  enemies,  and 
we  will  serve  thee. 

1 1  And  the  Lord  *sent  '^  Je-riib''- 
ba-al,  and  Be'dan,  and  '^Jeph  - 
thah,  and  '^Sam'u-el,  and  ''de- 
livered you  out  of  the  hand  of 
your  enemies  on  every  side,  and 
ye  dwelled  safe. 

12  And  when  ye  saw  that 
Na'hash  the  king  of  the  ^chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  came  against 
you,  ye  said  unto  me,  Nay;  but 
a  ^king  shall  reign  over  us:  when 
''the  Lord  your  God  was  your 
king. 

13  Now  therefore  behold  the 
king  whom  ye  have  chosen,  and 
whom  ye  have  desired!  and,  I)e- 
hold,  'the  Lord  hath  set  a  king 
over  you. 

14  If  ye  will  'fear  the  Lord, 
and  serve  him,  and  '^'obey  his 
voice,  and  not  rel)el  against  the 
commandment  of  the  I^ORD, 
then  shall  both  ye  and  also  the 
king  that  reigneth  over  you  con-

tiime  following  the  Lokd  your 
God: 

15  But  if  ye  will  not  obey  the 
voice  of  the  Lokd,  but  rebel 
against  the  commanclinent  of 
the  lyORD,  then  shall  the  hand 
of  tlie  Lord  be  against  you,  as 
it  was  against  your  fathers. 

IG  Now  therefore  stand  and  see 
this  great  thing,  which  the  Lord 
will  do  before  your  eyes. 

17  /.y  it  not  wheat  harvest  to 
day  ?  I  will  call  unto  the  Lord, 
and  he  shall  send  ^'"'thunder  and 
'"■"rain;  "that  ye  may  perceive 
and  see  that  your  wickedness  is 
great,  which  ye  have  done  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  in  asking  you 
a  ^kinsr. 


18  So  ^Sam'u-el  ^'called  unto 
the  Lord;  and  the  Lord  sent 
^•'"thunder  and  "rain  that  day: 
and  "all  the  people  greatly 
^feared  the  Lord  and  Sam'- 
u-el. 

19  And  all  the  people  said  unto 
''Sani'u-el,  *Pray  for  thy  serv- 
ants unto  the  Lord  thy  God, 
that  we  die  not:  for  ''we  have 
added  unto  all  our  sins  this  evil, 
to  ask  us  a  ^king. 

20  And  ^Sam'u-el  said  unto  the 
people,  Fear  not:  ye  have  done 
all  this  wickedness:  yet  *turn  not 
aside  from  following  the  T^ord, 
but  ^serve  the  Lord  \\\{\\  all 
your  ^heail; 

21  And  turn  ye  not  a.side:  for 
then  should  ye  go  after  "vain 
things,  which  cannot  profit  nor 
deliver;  for  they  are  vain. 

22  For  "the  "i>ord  "'will  not 
forsake  his  people  for  his  great 
name's  sake:  because  it  hath 
pleased  the  Lord  to  ^makc  you 
his  people. 

23  jNIoreovcr  %s  for  me,  God 
forind  that  I  should  sin  against 
tlie  Lord  in  ceasing  to  ^'"pray 


for  you:  but  I  will  "teach  you  the 
good  and  the  right  '^way: 

24  Only  ''•^fear  the  Lord,  and 
^•''serve  him  in  «'truth  with  "all 
your  heart:  for  consider  how 
great  things  he  hath  done  for 
you. 

25  But  if  ye  shall  still  do  wick- 
edly, 'ye  shall  be  consumed,  ])oth 
ye  and  your  king.

6  When  the  men  of  *I.s'ra-el 
saw  that  they  were  in  a  strait, 
(for  the  people  were  distressetl,) 
then  the  people  did  hide  them- 
selves in  "caves,  and  in  thick-

places,  and  in  pits. 

7  And  some  of  the  ^He'brews 
went  over  "Jor'tlan  to  the  land 
of  Gad  and  Gil'e-ad.  As  for 
"Saul,  he  was  yet  in  ^Girgal, 
and  all  the  people  followed

and  the  people  were  scattered

soon  as  he  had  made  an  end  of

went  out  to  meet  him,  that  he 
might  salute  him. 

11  And  ^•"'Sam'u-el  ^said,  What 
hast  thou  done  ?  And  Saul  said, 
Because  I  saw  that  the  people 
were  scattered  from  me,  and  that 
thou  camest  not  within  the  days 
appointed,  and  that  the  ''Phi-

not  ^made  su])plication  unto  the 
Lord:  I  forced  myself  there- 
fore, and  offered  a  *burnt  offer- 
ing. 

13  And  'Sam'u-el  ^.said  to 
"Saul,  Thou  hast  done  foolishly: 
thou  %ast  not  kept  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  which  he  commanded  thee: 
for  now  would  the  IvORD  have 


established  thy  kingdom   upon

14  But  now  thy  kingdom  shall 
not  continue:  the  Lord  hath 
sought  him  "a  "•'^man  after  his 
own  heart,  and  the  I^ord  hath 
commanded  him  to  be  captain 
over  his  people,  because  thou 
hast  not  kept  that  which  the

''Saul  numbered  the  people  that

16  And  »Saul,  and  ''Jon'a-than 
his  son,  and  the  people  that  were

the  way  of  the  border  that  look- 
eth  to  the  valley  of  "Ze-bo'im  to- 
M'ard  the  wilderness. 

19  ^  Now  there  was  no  "smith 
found  throughout  all  the  ^land 
of  Is'ra-el:  for  the  *Phi -lis'tines 
said.  Lest  the  'He'brew.^  make 
them  swords  or  spears: 

20  But  all  the  Is'ra-el-ites  went 
down  to  the  Thi-lis'tine.s,  to 
sharpen  every  man  his  ''•'share, 
and  his  ''coulter,  and  his  ''•'ax, 
and  his  ''■"mattock. 

21  Yet  they  had  a  file  for  the 
"mattocks,  and  for  the  coulters, 
and  for  the  forks,  and  for  the 
'axes,  and  to  sharpen  the  'goads. 

22  So  it  came  to  pass  in  the  day 
of  battle,  that  there  was  neither 
""sword  nor  "'spear  found  in  the 
hand  of  any  of  the  people  that

found. 
23  And  the  garrison  of  the  'PIiT- 
lis'tTnes  went  out  to  the  passage 
of  Olieh'inasii. 

CHAPTER.  14 

Jonathan,  unknown  to  Ms  father,  surprises 
a  garrison  of  the  Pliillstincs.  17  Saul 
and  his  men  conic  to  the  battle.  24  His 
uTMth-lsed  adjuration  distresses  the  people. 
26  Jonathan,  through  ignorance,  trans- 
gresses. 32  Saul  restrains  the  people 
from  eating  blood.  36  For  his  transgres- 
sion, Jonathan  is  condemned  to  die  by  his 
father:  4.j  but  is  rescued  by  the  people. 
47  Saul's  wars.     49  His  family. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  upon  a 
day,  that  *J6n'a-than  the 
son  of  "Saul  saitl  unto  the  *young 
man  that  bare  his  armour, 
Come,  and  let  us  go  over  to  the 
Thi-lis'tine.s'  '^garrison,  that  is 
on  the  other  sitle.  But  he  told 
not  his  father. 

2  And  "Saul  tarried  in  the  utter- 
most part  of  ^Gib'e-ah  under  a 
'pomegranate  tree  which  is  in 
"Mig'ron:  and  the  people  that 
were  with  him  were  about  six 
hundred  men; 

3  And  M-hl'ah,  the  son  of 
'A-hl'tub,  a'-cha-bod's  brother, 
the  son  of  *Phin'e-has,  the  son  of 
E'h,  the  Lord's  'priest  in  '"Shl'- 
loh,  wearing  an  ephod.  And  the 
people  knew  not  that  Jon'a-than 
was  gone. 

4  ^  And  between  the  passages, 
by  which  *J6n'a-than  sought  to 
go  over  unto  the  '^Phi-lis'tine.s' 
'^garrison,  there  tvas  a  sharp  rock 
on  the  one  side,  and  a  sharp  rock 
on  the  other  side :  and  the  name 
of  the  one  was  Bd'zez,  and  the 
name  of  the  other  Sc'neh. 

5  The  forefront  of  the  one  was 
situate  northward  over  again.st 
^Mich'mash,     and     the     other 


southward   over  against   ^Gib'- 
c-ah. 

6  And  *J6n'a-than  said  to  the 
"young  man  that  bare  his  ar- 
mour, '^Come,  and  let  us  go  over 
unto  the  ''garrison  of  these  ''un- 
circumcised:  it  may  be  that  the 
Lord  will  work  for  us :  for  "there 
is  no  restraint  to  the  ^-^Lord  to 
save  l)y  many  or  l)y  few. 

7  And  his  "arm  our  bearer  said 
unto  him,  Do  all  that  is  in  thine 
heart:  turn  thee;  behold,  1  a7n 
with  thee  according  to  thy  heart. 

8  Then  said  *Jon'a-than,  Be- 
hold, we  will  pass  over  unto  these 
men,  and  we  will  discover  our- 
selves unto  them. 

9  If  they  say  thus  unto  us.  Tarry 
until  we  come  to  you;  then  we 
will  stand  still  in  our  place,  and 
will  not  go  up  unto  them, 

10  But  if  they  say  thus,  Come 
up  unto  us;  then  we  will  go  up: 
for  the  Lord  hath  delivered 
them  into  our  hand:  and  this 
shall  be  a  sign  unto  us. 

1 1  And  both  of  them  discovered 
themselves  unto  the  ''garrison  of 
the  '^Phi-lTs'tine.s :  and  the  Phi- 
lis'tines  said,  Behold,  the  ''He'- 
brew.s  come  forth  out  of  the  holes 
where  they  had  hid  themselves. 

12  And  the  men  of  the  ''garrison 
answered  Jon'a-than  and  his 
''armourbearer,  and  said.  Come 
up  to  us,  and  we  will  shew  you  a 
thing.  And  Jon'a-than  said  unto 
his  armourbearer,  "'"Come  up 
after  me:  for  the  Lord  hath  de- 
livered them  into  the  hand  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

13  And  "Jon'a-than  climbed  up 
upon  his  hands  and  upon  his 
feet,  and  his  ''armourbearer  after 
him:  and  they  fell  before  Jon'a-

than;  and  his  armourbearer  slew 
after  him. 

14  And  that  first  slaughter, 
which  *J6n'a-than  and  his  ''ar- 
mourbearer made,  was  about 
twenty  men,  within  as  it  were 
'an  half  *acre  of  land,  which  a 
yoke  of  oxen  might  plow. 

15  Tf  And  there  was  '•"trem- 
bling in  the  'host,  in  the  field, 
and  among  all  the  people:  the 
'^garrison,  and  the  spoilers,  they 
also  trembled,  and  the  earth 
"quaked:  so  it  was  a  very  great 
trembling. 

16  And  the  watchmen  of  "Saul 
in  ^Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-min 
looked;  and,  behold,  the  mul- 
titude "melted  away,  and  they 
went  ^on  beating  down  one  an- 
other. 

17  ^  Then  said  ''SmuI  unto 
the  people  that  ^uere  with  him, 
iv.  ^Xumber  now,  and  see  who  is 
gone  from  us.  And  when  they 
bad  numbered,  behold,  '  Jon'- 
a-than  and  his  ''armouri)earer 
were  not  there. 

18  And  "Saul  said  unto  "•^A-hi'- 
ah,  Bring  hither  the  %rk  of  God. 
F(^r  the  ark  of  God  was  at  that 
time  with  the  children  of  Is'ra- 
el. 

19  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
°Siiul  talked  unto  the  spriest, 
that  the  noise  that  was  in  the 
^host  of  the  '^Phi-lis'tines  went 
on  and  increased:  and  Saul  said 
unto  the  priest,  Withdraw  thine 
hand. 

20  And  "Saul  and  all  the  people 
that  ivcre  with  him  assembled 
themselves,  and  they  came  to 
the  battle:  and,  behold,  "every 
man's  sword  was  against  his 
fellow,  and  there  was  a  very 
great  discomfiture. 

21  Moreover  the  ''He'brew.s 
that  were  with  the  '^Phi-lis'tines 
before  that  time,  which  went  up 
with  them  into  the  camp  from 
the  country  round   about,   even 


they  also  turned  to  be  with  the 
^I,§'ra-el-ites  that  ivere  with  "Saul 
and    Jon'a-than. 

22  Likewise  all  the  men  of  Ls'- 
ra-el  which  had  hid  themselves 
in  mount  ''E'phra-im,  when  they 
heard  that  the  "Phi-lis'tincs  fled, 
even  they  also  followed  hard 
after  them  in  the  battle. 

23  So  the  Lord  ''sas'cd  '^Is'ra-el 
that  day:  and  the  battle  passed 
over  unto  ^Beth-a'ven. 

24  T[  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
were  distressed  that  day:  ''•''for 
"Saul  had  adjured  the  people, 
sa>'ing,  Cursed  he  the  man  that 
eateth  any  food  until  evening, 
that  I  may  be  avenged  on  mine 
enemies.  So  ''none  of  the  people 
tasted  any  food. 

25  And  all  they  of  the  land  came 
to  a  wood;  and  there  was  'honey 
upon  the  ground. 

26  And  when  the  people  were 
come  into  the  wood,  behold,  the 
'honey  dropped;  but  no  man  put 
his  hand  to  his  mouth:  for  the 
people  feared  the  'oath. 

27  But  *J6n'a-than  heard  not 
when  his  father  charged  the  peo- 
ple with  the  'oath:  wherefore  he 
put  forth  the  end  of  the  rod  that 
was  in  his  hand,  and  dipped  it 
in  an  honeycomb,  and  put  his 
hand  to  his  mouth;  and  his  eyes 
were  enlightened. 

28  Then  answered  one  of  the 
people,  and  said,  Thy  father 
straitly  charged  the  people  with 
an  'oath,  ^sajing,  Cursed  be 
the  man  that  eateth  any  food 
this  day.  And  the  people  were 
faint. 

29  Then  said  *Jon'a-than,  My 
father  hath  troubled  the  land: 
see,  I  pray  you,  how  mine  eyes 
have  been  enlightened,  because 
I  tasted  a  little  of  this  ^honcy. 

30  How  much  more,  if  haply 
the  people  had  eaten  freely  to 
day  of  the  ''spoil  of  their  ene- 
mies   which    they    found  ?    for

^had  there  not  been  now  a  inucli 
greater  slaughter  among  tlie 
'Phi-lis'tine.s  ? 

31  And  they  smote  the  'Phi- 
hs'tines  that  day  from  ^j\Iich'- 
mash  to  'Aij'a-lon :  and  the  peo- 
ple were  very  faint. 

32  And  the  people  flew  upon 
the  *spoil,  and  took  '"sheep,  and 
oxen,  and  calves,  aiid  slew  tlievi 
on  the  ground:  and  the  people 
did  eat  tliem  with  the  blood. 

33  Then  they  told  Saul,  sa}ing, 
Behold,  the  people  "sin  against 
the  Lord,  in  tliat  they  eat  with 
the  "blood.  And  he  said,  Ye 
have  ^transgressed:  roll  a  great 
stone  unto  me  this  day. 

34  And  °Saul  said,  Disperse 
yourselves  among  the  people, 
and  say  unto  them,  Bring  me 
hither  every  man  his  ox,  and 
every  man  his  '"sheep,  and  slay 
them  here,  and  eat;  and  sin  not 
against  the  Lord  in  eating  with 
the  ^blood.  And  all  the  people 
brought  every  man  his  ox  with 
him  that  night,  and  slew  them 
there. 

35  And  "Saul  built  an  ''altar 
unto  the  Lord:  the  same  was 
the  first  altar  that  he  built  unto 
the  Lord. 

36  Tl  And  "Saul  said.  Let  us  go 
down  after  the  '^Phi-lis'tines  by 
night,  and  spoil  them  until  the 
morning  hght,  and  let  us  not 
leave  a  man  of  them.  And  they 
said,  Do  whatsoever  seemeth 
good  unto  thee.  Then  said  the 
""priest,  Let  us  draw  near  hither 
unto  God. 

37  And  "Saul  asked  counsel  of 
God,  Shall  I  go  down  after  the 
•^Phi-hs'tine.s  ?  wilt  thou  deliver 
them  into  the  hand  of  ^Ls'ra-el  ? 
But  he  'answered  him  not  that 
day. 

38  And  "Saul  said,  Draw  ye 
near  hither,  all  the  chief  of  the 
people:  and  know  and  see  where- 
in this  "sin  hath  been  this  day. 


39  For,  as  the  Lord  liveth, 

which  savcth  ''I.s'ra-el,  though 
it  be  in  Jon'a-than  my  son, 
"he  shall  surely  die.  But 
there  was  not  a  man  among 
all  the  people  that  answered 
him. 

40  Then  said  he  unto  all  ^Is'- 
ra-el.  Be  ye  on  one  side,  and  "I 
and  Jon'a-than  my  son  will  be 
on  the  other  side.  And  the  peo- 
ple said  unto  "Saul,  Do  what 
seemeth  good  unto  thee. 

41  Therefore  "Saul  said  un- 
to the  IvORD  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
^Give  a  perfect  Hot.  Antl  Saul 
and  Jon'a-than  were  ^taken: 
l)ut  the  people  escaped. 

42  And  "Saul  said.  Cast  Hois 
l)etween  me  and  *J6n'a-than 
my  son.  And  Jon'a-than  was 
taken. 

43  Then  "Saul  said  to  *Jon'a- 
than.  Tell  me  what  thou  hast 
clone.  And  Jon'a-than  tokl  him, 
and  said,  I  did  but  taste  a  little 
'honey  with  the  end  of  the  rod 
that  was  in  mine  hand,  and,  lo, 
I  must  die. 

44  "And  "Saul  answered,  God 
do  so  and  more  also:  for  thou 
shalt  surely  die,  *J6n'a-than. 

45  And  the  '^people  '"said  unto 
"Saul,  Shall  *Jon'a-than  die, 
who  hath  wrought  this  great  sal- 
vation in  Is'ra-el  ?  God  forbid : 
as  the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall 
not  one  hair  of  his  head  fall  to 
the  ground;  for  he  hath  wrought 
with  God  this  day.  ^So  the  peo- 
ple rescued  Jon'a-than,  that  he 
died  not. 

46  Then  "Saul  Went  up  from 
following  the  '^PhT-lTs'tine.s :  and 
the  Phi-lis'tines  went  to  their 
6wn  place.

dom over  ^Is'ra-el,  and  fought

and  smote  the  ^Am'a-lek-Ites,

Samuel  sends  Saul  to  destroyA  malek.  6 
Saul  fa  cars  the  Kenites.  8  ILc  spares 
Agag  and  the  best  of  the  spoil.  10  Samuel 
announces  unto  Saul  God's  rejection  of 
him  for  his  disobedience.  24  Saul's  hu- 
milUMon.  32  Samuel  kills  Agag,  34 
Samuel  and  Saul  part. 

«-C<A^r'U-EL  also  said  unto 
*  ^  '^Saul,  The  Lord  sent  me 
to  '^anoint  thee  to  be  king  over 
his  people,  over  ''Is'ra-el:  now 
therefore  ^hearken  thou  unto  the 
voice  of  the  words  of  the  Lord. 
2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  I  remember  that  which 
^Am'a-lek  did  to    I.s'ra-el,  how 


he  laid  tvait  for  him  in  the  way, 
when  he  came  up  from  *E'gvpt. 

3  Now  *go  and  ^smite  Am'a-lek, 
and  utterly  destroy  all  that  they 
have,  and  spare  them  not;  but 
'slay  both  man  and  woman,  in- 
fant and  suckling,  ox  and  sheep, 
camel  and  ass. 

4  And  ''Saul  gathered  the  ''peo- 
ple together,  and  numbered 
them  in  Tel'a-im,  two  hundred 
thousand  footmen,  and  ten  thou- 
sand men  of  'Ju'dah. 

5  And  '"Saul  came  to  a  city  of 
"Am'a-lek,  and  laid  wait  in  the 
valley. 

6  ^  And  '^Saul  said  unto  the 
Ken'Ites,  Go,  depart,  get  you 

down  from  among  the  ^Am'a- 
lek-Ites,  lest  I  destroy  you  with 
them:  "'for  ye  shewed  kmdness 
to  all  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el, 
when  they  came  up  out  of 
''E'gypt.  So  the  Ken'Ites  de- 
parted from  among  the  Am'a- 
lek-Ites. 

7  And  '^Saul  smote  the  ^Am'a- 
lek-ites  from  "HSv'i-lah  imtil 
thou  comest  to  ^Shur,  that  is 
over  against  ''pygypt. 

8  And  he  took  A'gtig  the  king 
of  the  ^Am'a-lek-ites  alive,  and 
^'utterly  destroyed  all  the  people 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

9  But  ''Saul  and  the  people 
"spared  A'gag,  and  the  best  of 
the  sheep,  and  of  the  oxen,  and 
of  the  fatlings,  and  the  lambs, 
and  all  that  was  good,  and 
"would  not  utterly  destroy  them: 
but  every  thing  that  was  vile 
and  refuse,  that  they  destroyed 
utterly.

of  the  Lord  unto  °Sam'u-el, 
saving, 

1 1  'It  repenteth  me  that  I  have 
set  up  ''Saul  to  be  king:  for  '^he 
is  turned  back  from  following 
me,  and  "hath  not  performed  my 
commandments.  And  it  grieved 
"Sam'u-el;  and  he  cried  unto  the 
Lord  all  night. 

12  And  when  "Sam'u-el  rose 
early  lo  meet  '^Saul  in  the  morn- 
ing, it  was  told  Sam'u-el,  saying, 
Saul  came  to  *Car'mel,  and,  be- 
hold, he  set  him  up  a  ^place,  and 
is  gone  about,  and  passed  on, 
and  gone  down  to  'Gil'gal. 

13  And  "Sam'u-el  came  to 
'^Saul:  and  Saul  said  unto  him, 
"Blessed  he  thou  of  the  Lord: 
''•"'I  have  performed  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord. 

14  And  °Sam'u-eP'  ^said.  What 
meaneih  then  this  bleating  of 
the  sheep  in  mine  ears,  and 
the  lowing  of  the  oxen  which  I 
hear  ? 

15  And  Saul  said.  They  have 
brought  them  from  the  ''Am'a- 
lek-ites:  for  the  people  spared 
the  best  of  the  ^sheep  and  of  the 
^oxen,  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God;  and  the  rest  we  have 
utterly  destroyed. 

16  Then  °Sam^i-el  said  unto 
*Saul,  Stay,  and  I  will  tell  thee 
what  the  Lord  hath  ''said  to  me 
this  night.  And  he  said  unto 
him.  Say  on. 

17  And  Sam'u-el  said,  When 


thou  wast  little  in  thine  own 
sight,  wast  thou  not  viadc  the 
head  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
'^•^the  Lord  anointed  thee  king 
over  Is'ra-el  ? 

18  And  the  Lord  ''sent  thee 
on  a  journey,  and  said.  Go  and 
utterly  ^destroy  the  sinners  the 
Wm'a-lek-Ites,  and  fight  against 
them  until  they  be  consumed. 

19  'Wherefore  then  ^didst  thou 
not  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord, 
but  didst  ^fly  upon  the  spoil,  and 
didst  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  ? 

20  And  "Saul  said  unto  "Sam'- 
u-el, Yea,  T  have  obeyed  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  and  have 
gone  the  way  which  the  Lord 
sent  me,  and  have  brought  A'gag 
the  king  of  Am'a-lek,  and  have 
utterly  destroyed  the  Am'a-lek- 
Ttes. 

21  But  '"the  people  took  of  the 
"spoil,  sheep  and  oxen,  the  chief 
of  the  ^things  Vhich  should 
have  been  utterly  destroyed,  to 
sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  "Gil'gal. 

22  And  «Sam'u-el  said.  Hath 
the  Lord  as  great  delight  in 
burnt  ^offerings  and  sacrifices, 
as  in  obeying  the  voice  of  the 
Lord?  Behold,  to  ^-'obey  is 
better  than  sacrifice,  and  to 
hearken  than  the  fat  of  rams. 

23  Tor  ''rebellion  is  as  the  sin 
of  ^witchcraft,  and  'stubborn- 
ness is  as  ^iniquity  and    "idol-

atry.  Because  *'"thou  hast  re- 
jected the  word  of  the  Lord,  he 
hath  also  rejected  thee  from  be- 
ing  king. 

24  And  "Saul  said  unto  °Sam'- 
u'el,  "•"'I  have  sinned:  for  I  have 
transgressed  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord,  and  thy  words: 
because  ^I  ^feared  ^the  people, 
and   ol)eyed  their  voice. 

25  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
pardon  my  sin,  and  tvu"n  again 
with  me,  that  I  may  worship  the 
Lord. 

26  Antl  "Sam'u-el  said  unto 
''vSaul,  I  will  not  return  with 
thee :  for  ''thou  hast  ''rejected  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  ^the 
Lord  hath  rejected  thee  from 
being  king  over  Ls'ra-el. 

27  And  as  °Sam'u-el  turned 
about  to  go  away,  ''he  laid  hold 
upon  the  skirt  of  his  ^mantle, 
and   it   rent. 

28  And  "Sam'u-cl  said  unto 
him.  The  Lord  hath  'rent  the 
kingdom  of  Is'ra-el  from  thee 
this  tlay,  and  hath  given  it  to  a 
neighbour  of  thine,  fhat  is  better 
than  thou. 

29  And  also  the  Strength  of 
Ls'ra-el  will  ''not  lie  nor  ''repent : 
for  he  is  not  a  man,  that  he 
should  repent. 

30  Then  he  said,  'I  have  sin- 
ned: yet  honour  me  now,  I 
pray  thee,  before  the  ''^'elders  of 


my  people,  and  before  'Is'ra-el, 
and  turn  again  with  me,  that  I 
may  worship  the  Lord  thy  God. 
31  So  "Sam'u-el  turned  again 
after  "Saul;  and  Saul  worshipped 
the  Lord. 

32  T[  Then  said  ''S-im'u-el, 
Bring  ye  hither  to  me  A'gag  the 
king  of  the  '"Am'a-lek-ites.  And 
A'gag  came  unto  him  delicately. 
And  A'gag  said.  Surely  the  bit- 
terness of  death  is  past. 

33  And  °Sam'u-el  said,  "As 
thy  sword  hath  made  women 
cliildlcss,  "so  shall  thy  mother 
be  chikllcss  among  women.  iVnd 
Sain'u-cl  hewed  "A'gag  in  pieces 
before  the  Lord  in  ^Gil'gctl. 

34  T[  Then  "Srim'u-el  went  to 
*Ra'niah;  and  "Saul  went  up  to 
his  house  to  ''GTb'e-ah  of  Saul. 

35  And  °Sam'u-el  came  no 
more  to  see  "Saul  until  the  day 
of  hisMeath:  nevertheless  Sara'. 
U-el  'mourned  for  Saul:  and  the 
Lord  "-"repented  that  he  had 
made  Saul  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  16 

Samuel  sent  to  Bethlehem  to  anoint  one  of

evil  spirit,  sends  for  David. 

*  A  ND  the  Lord  said  unto 
-^  '^■"Sitm'u-el,  How  long 
wilt  thou  '^mourn  for  ''Saul,  see- 
ing I  have  rejected  him  from

send  thee  to  ''Jes'se  tJie  lirth - 
le-hem-ite:  fur  '1  have  provided 
me  a  ^king  among  his  sons, 

2  And  Sam'u-el  ^-^said,  How 
can  I  go  ?  if  Saul  hear  it,  he 
will  Idll  me.  And  the  Lord 
said,  Take  an  heifer  with  thee, 
and  say,  I  am  come  to  sacrifice 
to  the  Lord. 

3  And  call  ''Jes'se  to  the  sacri- 
fice, and  *I  '"will  shew  thee  what 
thou  shalt  do:  and  thou  shalt 
"anoint  unto  me  ^him  whom  *I 
name  unto  thee. 

4  And  °Sam'u-el  did  that  which 
the  IvORD  spake,  and  came  to 
°Beth'-le-hem.  And  the  ^elders 
of  the  town  ^trembled  at  his 
coming,  and  said,  Comest  thou 
peaceably  ? 

5  And  he  said,  Peaceably:  I 
am  come  ''to  sacrifice  unto  the 
Lord:  ^sanctify  yourselves,  and 
come  with  me  to  the  sacrifice. 
And  he  sanctified  'Mes'se  and  his 
sons,  and  called  them  to  the 
sacrifice. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  come,  that  he  looked 
on  ^E-ll'ab,  and  said,  Surely 
the  Lord's  anointed  is  before 
him. 

7  But  the  Lord  said  unto 
°Sam'u-el,  T>ook  not  on  his  coun- 
tenance, or  on  the  height  of  his 
stature;  because  I  have  refused 


him:  for  the  Lord  secth  not  as 
man  seeth;  for  man  looketh  on 
the  outward  appearance,  but  (he 
Lord  'looketh  on  the  "heart. 

8  Then  ''Jes'se  called  ^A-bin'a- 
dab,  and  made  him  pass  before 
"Sam'u-el.  And  he  said.  Neither 
hath  the  Lord  chosen  this. 

9  Then  "Jes'se  made  ^Sham'- 
mah  to  pass  by.  And  he  said, 
Neither  hath  the  Lord  chosen 
this. 

10  Again.  ^'Jes'se  made  seven 
of  his  sons  to  pass  before  "Sam'- 
u-el.  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto 
Jes'se,  The  Lord  hath  not 
chosen    these. 

11  And  °Sam'u-el  said  unto 
''Jes'se,  Are  here  all  thy  chil- 
dren ?  And  he  said.  There  re- 
maineth  yet  the  youngest,  and, 
behold,  he  '"keepeth  the  sheej). 
And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Jes'se, 
Send  and  fetch  him:  for  we 
will  not  sit  down  till  he  come 
hither. 

12  And  he  sent,  and  brought 
him  in.  Now  he  was  ruddy,  and 
withal  of  a  ^beautiful  counte- 
nance, and  goodly  to  look  to. 
And  the  *LoRD  said.  Arise, 
anoint  him:  for  this  is  %e. 

13  Then°Sam'u-el  took  the 
horn  of  ^oil,  and  "anointed  him 
in  the  midst  of  his  brethren:  and

went  to  Ra'inah. 

14  ^  But  the  "Spirit  of  tlie 
Lord  departed  from  ''Saul,  and 
an  '■■''•''evil  spirit  from  the  Lord 
troubled  ''him. 

15  And  ''Saul's  servants  said 
unto  him,  Behold  now,  an  '^evil 
.spirit  from  CJod  troul^leth  thee. 

16  Let  our  lord  now  command 
thy  servants,  which  are  before 
thee,  to  seek  out  a  man,  who  is  a 
cunning  player  on  an  %arp:  and

''evil  spirit  from  God  is  upon 
thee,  that  he  shall  play  with  his

David  accepts  the  challenge,  and  shoics 
the  ground  of  his  conftdencc.  38  He  slays 
Goliath.     5.')  Saul  asks  about  David. 

NOW  the  «Phi-lis'tine.s  gath- 
ered together  their  ''ar- 
mies to  battle,  and  were  gath- 
ered together  at  *Sho'choh, 
which  helongeih  to  '^Ju'dah,  and 
pitched  between  Sho'choh  and 
'^A-ze'kah,  in  E'phe.s-dam'mim. 

2  And  *Saul  and  the  men  of 
'Is'ra-el  were  gathered  together, 
and  pitched  by  the  valley  of 
"E'lah,  and  set  the  battle  in 
array  against  the  "Phi-lis'tine.s. 

3  And  the  "Phi-lTs'tine.s  stood 
on  a  mountain  on  the  one  side, 
and  ^Is'ra-el  stood  on  a  moun- 
tain on  the  other  side :  and  there 
was  a  valley  between  them. 

4  And  there  went  out  a  cham- 
pion out  of  the  camp  of  the  "Plii- 
lis'tTne.5,  named  ^Go-ll'ath,  of 
•''Gath,  whose  height  %vas  six 
'cubits  and  a  %pan. 

5  And  ^he  had  an  ^'helmet  of 
'brass  upon  his  head,  and  he  ivas 
armed  with  a  ^coat  of  mail;  and 
the  weight  of  the  coat  loas  five 
thousand  shekels  of  bra.ss. 

6  And  ^he  had  greaves  of 
Mjrass  upon  his  legs,  and  a  'tar- 
get of  brass  between  his  shoul- 
ders. 

7  x\nd  the  staff  of  his  spear  iw/.v 


like  a  '"weaver's  beam;  and  his 
"spear's  head  weigJied  six  hun- 
dred "shekels  of  ''iron:  and  *one 
bearing  a  shield  went  before 
him. 

8  And  he  stood  and  ''cried  unto 
the  ^armies  of  '^Is'ra-el,  and  said 
unto  them,  Why  are  ye  come 
out  to  set  your  battle  in  array  ? 
am  not  I  a  '^Phi-lis'tine,  and  ye 
servants  to  '^Saul  ?  choose  you  a 
man  for  you,  and  let  him  come 
down  to  me. 

9  If  he  be  able  to  fight  with  me, 
and  to  kill  me,  then  Avill  we  be 
your  'servants:  l)ut  if  I  prevail 
against  him,  and  kill  him,  then 
shall  ye  be  our  servants,  and 
serve  us. 

10  And  the  ^Phi-lis'tine  said,  I 
defy  the  ^armies  of  ^Is'ra-el  this 
day;  give  me  a  man,  that  we  may 
fight  together. 

11  When  ^Saul  and  all  a.s'ra-el 
heard  those  words  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tine,  they  were  dismayed,  and 
greatly  "afraid. 

12  T[  Now  ^Da'vid  was  the  son 
of  that  Eph'rath-Ite  of  '"Beth'- 
le-hem-ju'dah,  whose  name  was 
''^Jes'se;  and  he  had  eight  sons: 
and  the  man  went  among  men 
for  an  old  man  in  the  days  of 
^Saul. 

13  And  the  three  eldest  sons  of 
^Jes'se  went  and  followed  ''Saul 
to  the  battle:  and  the  names  of 
his  three  sons  that  went  to  the 
battle  were  ^E-ll'ab  the  first- 
born, and  next  unto  him  ^A-bin'- 
a-dab,  and  the  third  "Sham'mah. 

14  And  *Da'vid  was  the  young- 
est: and  the  three  eldest  fol- 
lowed '"Saul. 

15  But  ''Da'vid  went  and  re- 
turned from  '^Saul  to  ''feed  his 
father's  sheep  at  '^Beth'-le-hem.

near  morning  and  evening,  and 
presented  himself  'forty  days. 

17  And  """Jes'se  said  unto 
''Da'vid  his  son,  Take  now  for 
thy  brethren  an  ^ephah  of  this 
parched  ^corn,  and  these  ten 
*loaves,  and  run  to  the  camp 
to  thy  brethren; 

18  And  carry  these  ten  ^-'"chees- 
es unto  the  "-"captain  of  their 
thousand,  and  look  how  thy 
brethren  fare,  and  take  their 
pledge. 

19  Now  ^Saul,  and  they,  and  all 
the  men  of  ''I.s'ra-el,  were  in  the 
valley  of  *E'lah,  fighting  with 
the  Thi-lis'tine.s. 

20  And  *Da'vid  *rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  ''left  the 
sheep  with  a  keeper,  and  took, 
and  went,  as  ''Jes'se  had  com- 
manded him;  and  he  came  to  the 
^trench,  as  the  host  was  going 
forth  to  the  fight,  and  'shouted 
for  the  "battle. 

21  For  ^Is'ra-el  and  the  ^Phi- 
lis'tine.s  had  put  the  "battle  in 
array,  army  against  army. 

22  And  ^Da'vid  left  his  ^car- 
riage  in  the  hand  of  the  keeper 
of  the  ^carriage,  and  ran  into  the 
army,  and  came  and  "saluted 
his  brethren. 

23  And  as  he  talked  with  them, 
behold,  there  came  up  the 
^champion,  the  Phi-lis'tine  of 
Gath,  ^Go-lT'ath  by  name,  out 
of  the  armies  of  the  ''Phi-lis'- 
tine.s,  and  spake  according  to  the 
same  words:  and  *Da'vid  heard 
them. 

24  And  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el, 
when  they  saw  the  man,  *'fled 
from  him,  and  were  sore  afraid. 

25  And  the  men  of  Ls'ra-el 
said,  Have  ye  seen  this  man  that 
is  come  up  ?  surely  to  defy  I.s'- 
ra-el  is  he  come  up:  and  it  shall 
be,  that  the  man  who  killeth  him, 


the  king  will  "'enrich  him  with 
great  -^riches,  and  will  ""•  ^give 
him  his  daughter,  and  '"make 
his  father's  house  free  in  Is'ra-el. 

26  And  "DaVid  spake  to  the 
men  that  stood  by  him,  saying, 
What  shall  be  done  to  the  man 
that  killeth  this  Phi-lis'tine,  and 
taketh  away  the  reproach  from 
Ls'ra-el  ?  for  ''who  is  this  uncir- 
cvmicised  Phi-lis'tine,  that  he 
should  defy  the  armies  of  the 
living  God  ? 

27  And  the  people  answered 
him  after  this  manner,  saying, 
So  shall  it  be  done  to  the  man 
that  killeth  him. 

28  And  ^E-h'ab  his  eldest  bro- 
ther heard  when  he  spake  inito 
the  men;  and  E-li'ab's  ''anger 
was  kindled  against  ''Da'vid, 
and  he  said.  Why  camest  thou 
down  hither  ?  and  ''with  whom 
hast  thou  left  those  few  sheep 
in  the  wilderness  ?  T  know  thy 
pride,  and  the  naughtiness  of 
thine  "heart;  for  thou  art  come 
down  that  thou  mightest  see  the 
"battle. 

29  And  '^Da'vid  "said,  What 
have  I  now  done  ?  Is  there  not 
a  cause  ? 

30  And  he  turned  from  him  to- 
ward another,  and  spake  after 
the  same  manner:  and  the  peo- 
ple answered  him  again  after  the 
former  manner. 

31  And  when  the  words  were 
heard  which  '^Da'vid  spake,  they 
rehearsed  them  before  'Saul :  and 
he  sent  for  him. 

32  If  And  '^Da'vid  said  to  'Saul, 
Let  no  man's  heart  fail  because 
of  him;  'thy  servant  ^'will  go  and 
fight  with  this  ^Phi-lis'tine. 

33  And  'Saul  said  to  -^DaMd, 
Thou  art  not  able  to  p'O  against

him:  for  thou  art  hut  a  youth.

and  he  a  'man  of  war  from  his 
youth. 

34  And  "Da'vid  said  unto  Saul, 
Thy  servant  "'kept  his  father's 
sheep,  and  there  came  a  "Hon, 
and  a  "bear,  and  took  a  lamb  out 
of  the  flock : 

35  And  •'I  went  out  after  him, 
and  smote  him,  and  delivered  if 
out  of  his  mouth:  and  when  he 
arose  atjainst  me,  I  caught  him 
by  his  beard,  and  smote  him, 
and  slew  him. 

36  'Thy  servant  slew  both  the 
"lioti  and  the  "bear:  and  ''this 
uncircuincised  PhT-lTs'tine  shall 
be  as  one  of  them,  seeing  he 
hath  defied  the  armies  of  the 
living  God. 

37  "Da'vid  said  moreover.  The 
Lord  that  "delivered  me  out  of 
the  paw  of  the  "lion,  and  out  of 
the  paw  of  the  "bear,  ^he  will  de- 
liver me  out  of  the  hand  of  ^this 
Phi-lis'tine.  And  'S.iul  said  unto 
Da'vid,  Go,  and  '^tlie  Lord  be 
with  thee. 

38  if  And  'Saul  ^armed  Dn'vid 
with  his  ^armour,  and  he  put  an 
^helmet  of  brass  upon  his  head; 
also  he  %rmed  him  with  a  •^coat 
of  mail. 

39  And  '^Da'vid  girded  his 
'sword  upon  his  "armour,  and  he 
a.ssayed  to  go;  for  he  had  not 
proved  if.  And  Da'vid  said  un- 
to *Saul,  I  cannot  go  with  these; 
for  I  have  not  proved  them. 
And   Da'vid  put  them  off  him. 

40  And  he  took  his  staff  in  his 
hand,  and  chose  him  five  smooth 
stones  out  of  the  brook,  and  put 
them  in  a  shepherd's  bag  which 
he  had,  even  in  a  scrip;  and  liis 
*sling  vjcis  in  his  hand:  and  'he 
drew  near  to  ^the  Phi-lTs'tine. 

41  And  ■^the  Phi-lTs'tTne  came 
on  and  drcAv  near  unto  "Da'vid; 
and  the  man  that  bare  the  shield 
ivcnt  before  him. 


42  And  when  ^the  Phi-lis'tine 
looked  about,  and  saw  Da'vid, 
he  disdained  liim :  for  he  was  but 
a  youth,  and  ruddy,  and  of  a 
fair  countenance. 

43  And  the  U^hi-lis'tine  said 
unto  "Da'vid,  Am,  I  a  "dog,  that 
thou  comest  to  me  with  staves  ? 
And  the  Phi-lis'tine  cursed  Da'- 
vid by  his  "gods. 

44  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  '"said  to 
Da'vid,  Come  to  me,  and  I  will 
give  thy  flesh  untothe  fowls  of  the 
air,  and  to  the  beasts  of  the  field. 

45  'Then  said  "Da'vid  to  the 
^Phi-lis'tine,  Thou  comest  to  me 
with  a  sword,  and  with  a  spear, 
and  with  a  ^shield:  but  H  come 
to  thee  in  the  name  of  the 
■''Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  the 
armies  of  Is'ra-el,  whom  thou 
hast  defied. 

46  ^This  day  will  the  Lord  de- 
liver thee  into  mine  hand;  and  I 
will  smite  thee,  and  take  thine 
head  from  thee;  and  I  will  give 
the  carcases  of  the  host  of  the 
^Pht-lis'tines  this  day  unto  the 
fowls  of  the  air,  aiul  to  the  wild 
beasts  of  the  earth;  that  all  the 
earth  may  know  that  there  is  a 
God  in  Ls'i'a-el. 

47  And  all  this  assembly  shall 
know  that  the  Lord  ^saveth  not 
with  sword  and  spear:  for  the 
^battle  is  the  Lord's,  and  he 
will  "give  you  into  our  hands. 

48  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  Phi-lTs'tine  arose,  and  came 
and  drew  nigh  to  meet  Da'vid, 
that  Da'vid  hasted,  and  ran 
towjird  the  army  to  meet  the 
Phi-lTs'tine. 

49  And  ''Dfi'vid  put  his  hand  in 
his  bag,  and  took  thence  a  stone, 
and  slang  it,  and  smote  the  Phi- 
iTs'tinc  in  his  forehead,  that  the 
stone  sunk  into  his  forehead; 
and  he  fell  upon  his  face  to  the 
earth.

50  So   *Da'vid  prevailed  over 
*^tlie  Phi-lis'tine  with  a   ■''sling 

and  with  a  stone,  and  smote  the 
Phi-iis'tine,  and  slew  him;  but 
there  was  no  sword  in  the  hand 
of  Da'vid. 

51  Therefore  ^Da'vid  ran,  and 
stood  upon  ^the  Phi-lis'tine,  and 
took  his  sword,  and  drew  it  out 
of  the  sheath  thereof,  and  slew 
him,  and  cut  off  his  head  there- 
with. And  when  the  '^Phi-lis'- 
tine.s  saw  their  ^champion  was 
dead,  they  fled. 

52  And  the  men  of  '^Is'ra-el 
and  of  Ju'dah  arose,  and  shout- 
ed, and  pursued  the  '^Phi-lis'tines, 
until  thou  come  to  the  valley, 
and  to  the  gates  of  '^Ek'ron.  And 
the  wounded  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 
fell  down  by  the  way  to  -^Sha-a- 
ra'im,  even  unto  ^Gath,  and  un- 
to Ek'ron. 

53  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
returned  from  chasing  after  the 
Phi-lis'tines,  and  they  ''spoiled 
their  '^tents. 

54  And  ''Da'vid  took  the  ^head 
of  '''the  Phi-lis'tine,  and  brought 
it  to  ^Je-rii'sa-lem;  but  he  put 
his  ®arniour  in  his  tent. 

55  TI  And  when  ^Saul  saw  ^Da'- 
vid  go  forth  against  ^tlie  Phi- 
lis'tine,  he  said  unto  'Ab'ner,  the 
captain  of  the  host,  Ab'ner,

Ab'ner  said,  As  thy  soul  liveth, 
O  king,  I  cannot  tell. 

56  And  the  king  said.  Enquire

57  And  as  *Da'vid  returned

■Jonathan's  affection  for  David.  5  Saul 
promotes  him:  8  but  afterward  envies  his 
praise.  10  and  in  fury  seeks  to  kill  him. 
20  Offers  his  daughter  as  a  snare;  25 
but  David  escapes  the  danger.  28  Saul's 
hatred  and  David's  glory  increase. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking  unto  "Saul,  that  the 
soul  of  ''Jon'a-than  was  ''•''knit 
with  the  soul  of  ''Da'vid,  and

and  would  let  him  go  no  more 
home  to  his  father's  house. 

3  Then  *J6n'a-than  and  ''Da'- 
vid  made  a  "covenant,  because 
he  loved  him  as  his  own  soul. 

4  And  *J6n'a-than  stripped 
himself  of  the  ''robe  that  was  up- 
on him,  and  ^gave  it  to  ''Da'vid, 
and  his  garments,  even  to  his 
sword,  and  to  his  bow,  and  to 
his  'girdle. 

5  T[  And  ''Da'vid  went  out 
whithersoever  "Saul  sent  him, 
and  behaved  himself  ^wisely :  and 
Saul  set  him  over  the  men  of 
war,  and  he  was  accepted  in  the 
sight  of  all  the  people,  and  also 
in  the  sight  of  Saul's  servants. 

6  T[  And  it  came  to  pass  as 
^they  came,  when  ^Da'vid  was 
returned  from  the  slaughter 
of  the  Thi-lis'tine,  that  the

^•^tabrets,  with  joy,  and  witli 
instruments  of  ''inusick. 

7  And  the  '"women  -answered 
07ie  another  as  they  played,  and 
said,  "Saul  hath  slain  his  thou- 
sands, and  '^Da'vid  his  ten 
thousands. 

8  And  "•''Saul  was  very  *■ 'wroth, 
and  the  saying  displeased  him; 
and  he  "said,  They  have  as- 
cribed unto  '^Da'vid  ten  thou- 
sands, and  to  me  they  have  as- 
cribed hut  thousands:  and  ivhat 
can  he  have  more  but  the  king- 
dom ? 

9  And  "Saul  ''eyed  ^DaVid  from 
that  day  and  forward. 

10  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  *"'''"'evil  spirit 
from  God  came  upon  "Saul,  antl 
he  prophesied  in  the  midst  of  the 
house:  and  Da'vid  played  with 
his  hand,  as  ^at  other  times:  and 
there  was  a  ''••^javelin  in  Saul's 
hand. 

11  And  'Saul  Vast  the  -••  ^jave- 
lin; for  he  "said,  I  will  smite 
Da'vid  even  to  the  wall  with  it. 
And  ^Da'vid  avoided  out  of  his 
presence  twice. 

12  ^  And  Saul  was  afraid  of 
Da'vid,  because  the  Lord  was 
with  him,  and  was  ^departed 
from  ^Saul. 

13  Therefore  "Saul  removed 
''him  from  him,  and  made  him 
his  '^•'^ captain  over  a  thousand; 
and  he  went  out  and  came  in 
before  the  people. 

14  And  ''Da'vid  behaved  him- 
self 'wisely  in  all  his  ways;  and 
the  Lord  was  'with  him. 

15  Wherefore  when  "Saul  saw 
that  he  behaved  himself  very 
^wisely,  he  "Hvas  afraid  of  him. 

16  But  all  Ls'ra-el  and  Ju'dah 
"loved  ''Da'vid,  because  he  went 
out  and  came  in  before  them. 


17  Tl  And  "Saul  said  to  "Da'vid, 
Behokl  my  elder  daughter  ''Me'- 
rab,  her  will  I  'give  thee  to  ^vife: 
only  be  thou  valiant  for  me,  ami 
fight  the  Lord's  battles.  For 
Saul  said,  Let  not  mine  hand  be 
upon  him,  but  let  the  hand  of 
the  ''Phi-lis'tine.s  be  uj)on  him. 

18  And  "Da'vid  .said  unto  Saul, 
'Who  a7n  I  ?  and  what  is  my  life, 
or  my  father's  family  in  Is'ra-el, 
that  I  should  be  '"son  in  law  to 
the  king  ? 

19  But  it  came  to  pass  at 
the  time  when  ''Me'r&b  Saul's 
daughter  should  have  been  given 
to  "Da'vid,  that  she  was  given 
unto  "A'di-i-el  the  "Me-hol'ath- 
ite  to  wife. 

20  And  t]\ii/^.i,.^i  Saul's 
^daughter  loved  "Da'vid:  and 
they  told  "Saul,  and  the  thing 
pleased  him. 

21  And  "Saul  said,  I  will  give 
liim  '''•%er,  that  she  may  be 
a  snare  to  him,  and  that  the 
hand  of  the  ''Phi-lTs'tine.s  may 
be  against  hira.  Wherefore  Saul 
said  to  "Da'vid,  Thou  shalt  this 
day  be  my  '"son  in  law  "in  the 
one  of  the  twain. 

22  And  "Saul  commanded  his 
servants,  saying,  Commune  witii 
"Da'vid  secretly,  and  say,  Be- 
hold, the  king  hath  delight  in 
thee,  and  all  his  servants  love 
thee:  now  therefore  be  the  king's 
"'son  in  law. 

23  And  "Saul's  servants  spake 
those  words  in  the  ears  of  "Da'- 
vid. And  Da'vid  said,  Seemeth 
it  to  you  a  light  thing  to  be  a 
king's  son  in  law,  ^seeing  that  I 
am  a  poor  man,  and  lightly 
esteemed  ? 

24  And  the  servants  of  "Saul 
told  him,  saying,  On  this  man- 
ner spake  "Da'vid.

ye  say  to  "Da'vid,  The  kiii<>; 
desireth  not  any  ^dowry,  but 
an  hundred  foreskins  of  the 
^Phi-lis'tine.s,  to  be  'avenged  of 
the  king's  enemies.  But  Saul 
thought  to  make  Da'vid  fall  by 
the  hand  of  the  Phi-lTs'tines. 

26  And  when  his  servants  told 
"Da'vid  these  words,  it  pleased 
Da'vid  well  to  be  the  king's  '"son 
in  law:  and  the  days  were  not 
expired. 

27  Wherefore  *  Da'vid  arose 
and  went,  he  and  his  men,  and 
slew  of  the  *Phi-lis'tine.§  two 
hundred  men;  and  Da'vid 
brought  their  foreskins,  and  they 
gave  them  in  full  tale  to  the  king, 
that  he  might  be  the  king's  '"son 
in  law.  And  "Saul  gave  him

28  And  "Saul  saw  and  kuew 
that  the  'Lord  was  with  Da'- 
vid, and  that  %11'chal  Saul's 
daughter  loved  him. 

29  And  Saul  was  yet  the  more 
afraid  of  Da'vid;  and  Saul  be- 
came Da'vid's  *eneiny  contin- 
ually. 

30  Then  the  princes  of  the 
*^PhT-lis'tTnes  went  forth:  and  it 
came  to  pass,  after  they  went 
forth,  that  Da'vid  behaved  him- 
self more  wisely  than  all  the 
servants  of  Saul;  so  that  his 
name  was  much  set  by.

him:  12  but  he  Is  rescued  bii  Michal.  18 
David  comes  to  Samuel  in  Naloth.  20 
Saul  sends  to  take  David.  His  messen- 
gers, 22  and  Saul  hlniself,  prophesy. 

AND  "'^Saul  spake  to  '^Jon'a- 
than  his  son,  and  to  all  his 
servants,  ''•^that  they  should  kill 
^Da'vid. 
2  But  '^Jon'a-than  "Saul's  son 
Melighted  much  in  ^Da'vid :  and 
J6n'a-than  told  Da'vid,  saying, 
Saul  my  father  seeketh  to  kill 
thee :  now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
take  heed  to  thyself  until  the 


morning,  and  abide  in  a  secret 
-place,  and  hide  thyself: 

3  And  I  will  go  out  and  stand 
beside  my  father  in  the  field 
where  thou  art  and  I  will  com- 
mune with  my  father  of  thee; 
and  what  I  see,  that  I  will  tell 
thee. 

4  And  '^Jon'a-than  spake  good 
of  ''Da'vid  unto  °Saul  his  father, 
and  ''■^aid  unto  him,  Let  not 
the  king  sin  against  his  servant, 
against  Da'vid ;  because  he  hath 
not  sinned  against  thee,  and  be- 
cause his  works  have  been  to 
theeward  very  good: 

5  For  he  'd\A  put  his  life  in  his 
hand,  and  slew  ''the  Phi-lig'tine, 
and  the  'Lord  wrought  a  great 
^salvation  for  all  Ls'ra-el:  thou 
sawest  it,  and  didst  rejoice: 
''•'wherefore  then  wilt  thou  sin 
against  innocent  blood,  to  slay 
Da'vid  without  a  cause  ? 

6  And  "Saul  hearkened  unto 
the  '"voice  of  '^ Jon'a-than :  and 
Saul  "sware,  As  the  Lord  liv- 
eth,  he  shall  not  be  slain. 

7  And  '^Jon'a-than  called  'Da'- 
vid,  and  Jon'a-than  shewed  him 
all  those  things.  And  Jon'a-than 
brought  Da'vid  to  Saul,  and  he 
"was  in  his  presence,  as  in  times 
past. 

8  \  And  there  was  ^war  again : 
and  'Da'vid  went  out,  and 
fought  with  the  *Phi-hs'tine.s, 
and  slew  them  with  a  great 
slaughter;  and  they  fled  from 
him. 

9  And  the  ''•  *evil  spirit  from  the 
Lord  was  upon  "Saul,  as  he  sat 
in  his  house  with  his  ^javelin  in 
his  hand:  and  'Da'vid  played 
with  his  hand. 

10  And  "Saul  '^•''sought  to  smite 
'Da'vid  even  to  the  wall  with  the 
^javelin;  but  he  slipped  away  out 
of  Saul's  presence,  and  he  smote 
the  ^javelin  into  the  wall:  and 
Da'vid  fled,  and  escaped  that 
night.

third  time,  and  they  prophesied 
also. 

22  Then  went  he  also  to  °Ra'- 
inah,  and  came  to  a  great  well 
that  is  in  Se'chu:  and  he  asked 
and  said,  Where  arc  *'Sani'u-el 
and  '^Da'vid?  And  o7ic  said, 
Behold,  iJici/  be  at  Na'ioth  in 
Ra'mah. 

23  And  he  went  thither  to  ^Na'- 
ioth in  "Ra'mah:  and  the  Spirit 
of  God  was  upon  him  also, 
and  he  went  on,  and  prophesied, 
until  he  came  to  Na'ioth  in 
Ra'mah. 

24  And  he  stripped  off  his 
clothes  also,  and  prophesied  l)e- 
fore  "Sam'u-el  in  like  manner, 
and  lay  down  naked  all  that  day 
and  all  that  night.  Wherefore 
they  say,  ^Is  Saul  also  among 
the  prophets  ?

What  have  I  done  ?  what  w

R.  V.  The  Lord, 
the  God  of  Isra- 
el, be  witness; 


livetli,  there  is  ''but  a  step  be- 
tween me  and  *death. 

4  Then  said  '^Jon'a-than  unto 
"Da'vid,  ^•■'Whatsoever  thy  soul 
desireth,  I  will  even  do  it  for 
thee. 

5  And  "Da'vid  said  unto  '^Jon'- 
a-than,  Behold,  to  morrow  is  the 
new  moon,  and  I  should  not  fail 
to  sit  with  the  king  at  ^ineat:  but 
let  me  go,  that  I  may  hide  my- 
self in  the  field  unto  the  third 
dai/  at  even, 

6  If  thy  father  at  all  miss  me, 
then  say,  Da'vid  earnestly  asked 
leave  of  me  that  he  might  run  to 
'Beth'-le-heni  his  city:  for  there 
is  a  yearly  sacrifice  there  for  all 
the  family. 

7  If  he  say  thus.  It  is  well;  thy 
servant  shall  have  peace:  but  if 
he  be  very  '"wroth,  then  be  sure 
that  evil  is  determined  by  him. 

8  Therefore  thou  shalt  deal 
kindly  with  thy  servant;  for  thou 
hast  brought  thy  servant  into  a 
"covenant  of  the  Lord  with 
thee:  notwithstanding,  if  there 
be  in  me  iniquity,  slay  me  thy- 
self; for  why  shouldest  thou 
bring  me  to  thy  father  ? 

9  And  '^Jon'a-than  said,  Far  l)e 
it  from  thee:  for  if  I  knew  cer- 
tainly that  evil  were  determined 
by  my  father  to  come  upon  thee, 
then  ''•^vould  not  I  tell  it  thee  ? 

10  Then  said  "Da'vid  to  '^Jon'- 
a-than.  Who  shall  tell  me  ?  or 
what  if  thy  father  answer  tiiee 
roughly  ? 

11  And  '^Jon'a-than  said  unto 
"Da'vid,  Come,  and  let  us  go  out 
into  the  field.  And  they  went 
out  both  of  them  into  the  field. 

12  And  '^Jon'a-than  said  unto 
"Da'vid,  'O  Lord  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  when  I  liave  sounded  my 
''father  about  to  morrow  any 
time,  or  the  third  dm/,  and,  be- 


hold, if  there  be  good  toward 
Da'vid,  and  I  then  send  not  unto 
thee,  and  shew  it  thee ; 

13  "The  Lord  do  so  and  much 
more  to  Jon'a-than:  but  if  it 
please  my  ^father  to  do  thee  evil, 
tlien  I  will  shew  it  thee,  and  send 
thee  away,  that  thou  mayest  go 
in  peace:  and  "the  Lord  be  with 
thee,  as  he  hath  been  with  my 
father. 

14  And  thou  shalt  not  only 
while  yet  I  Uve  shew  me  the 
kindness  of  the  Lord,  that  I 
die  not: 

15  But  also  thou  shalt  not  cut 
off  thy  kimlness  from  my  house 
for  ever:  no,  not  when  the  Lord 
"hath  cut  off  the  enemies  of  Da'- 
vid every  one  from  the  face  of 
the  earth. 

16  So  '^Jon'a-than  made  a 
^covenant  with  the  house  of 
Da'vid,  sailing,  Let  the  Lord 
even  require  it  at  the  hand  of 
Da'vid's  enemies. 

17  And  '^Jon'a-than  caused 
"Da'vid  to  ''swear  again,  because 
he  'loved  him :  for  he  'loved  him 
as  he  loved  his  own  soul. 

18  Then  '^Jon'a-than  said  to 
"Da'vid,  To  morrow  is  the  new 
'moon:  and  thou  shalt  be 
missed,  because  thy  seat  will  be 
empty. 

19  And  when  thou  hast  stayed 
three  days,  then  thou  shalt  go 
down  quickly,  and  come  to  the 
place  where  thou  didst  hide  thy- 
self when  the  business  was  in 
hand,  and  shalt  remain  by  the 
'•^stone   E'zel. 

20  And  I  will  'shoot  three  *ar- 
rows  on  the  side  thereof,  as 
though  I  shot  at  a  mark. 

21  And,  behold,  I  will  send  a 
lad,  saying.  Go,  find  out  the  *ar- 
rows.  If  I  expressly  say  unto  the 
lad,  Behold,  the  arrows  are  on

thee,  and  no  hurt;  as  the  Lord 
Hveth. 

22  But  if  I  say  tlius  unto  the 
young  man,  Behold,  the  arrows 
are  beyond  tiiee;  go  thy  way:  for 
the  Lord  '^hatli  sent  thee  away. 

23  And  as  touching  the  matter 
which  thou  and  I  have  spoken 
of,  behold,  "the  Lord  he  be- 
tween thee  and  me  for  ever, 

24  If  So  "Da'vid  hid  himself  in 
the  field:  and  when  the  new 
''moon  was  come,  the  *king  sat 
him  down  to  eat  meat. 

25  And  the  "king  sat  upon  his 
seat,  as  at  other  times,  even  upon 
a  seat  by  the  ^wall :  and  '^ Jon'a- 
than  then  arose,  and  "Ab'ner 
sat  by  ''Saul's  side,  and  Da'vid's 
place  was  empty. 

26  Nevertheless  "Saul  spake  not 
any  thing  that  day:  for  he 
thought,  Something  hath  befal- 
len him,  he  is  "not  clean;  surely 
he  is  not  clean. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  which  was  the  second 
dai/  of  the  month,  that  ° Da'vid's 
place  was  empty :  and  "Saul  said 
unto  '^  Jon'a-than  his  son,  Where- 
fore cometh  not  the  son  of  ""Jr-s'- 
se  to  meat,  neither  yesterday,  nor 
to  day  ? 

28  And  ''Jon'a-than  answered 
"Saul,  Da'vid  earnestly  asked 
leave  of  me  to  go  to  ^Beth'-le- 
hem: 

29  And  he  said.  Let  me  go,  I 
pray  thee;  for  our  family  hath  a 
sacrifice  in  the  city;  and  my 
brother,  he  hath  commanded  me 
fo  be  there:  and  now,  if  I  have 
found  favour  in  thine  eyes,  let 
me  get  away,  I  pray  thee,  and 
see  my  brethren.  Therefore  he 
cometh  not  unto  the  king's 
''table. 


30  Then  Saul's  ^anger  was 
kindled  against  "Jon'a-than, 
and  he  *said  unto  him.  Thou 
son  of  the  perverse  rebellious 
woman,  do  not  I  know  that 
thou  hast  chosen  the  "son  of 
''Jes'se  to  thine  own  confusion, 
and  unto  the  confusion  of  thy 
mother's  nakedness? 

31  ^•T-i'or  as  long  as  the  son  of 
Jcs'se  liveth  upon  the  ground, 
thou  shalt  not  be  established, 
nor  thy  kingdom.  Wherefore 
now  send  and  fetch  him  unto 
me,  for  ''he  shall  surely  die. 

32  And  "Jon'a-than  answered 
Saul  his  father,  and  ^said  unto 
him.  Wherefore  shall  he  be 
slain  ?  what  hath  he  done  ? 

33  And  Saul  cast  \a  javelin  at 
him  to  smite  him:  whereby  ,Jon'- 
a-than  knew  that  it  Avas  deter- 
mined of  his  father  to  slay 
"Da'vid. 

34  So  "Jon'a-than  arose  from 
the  ''table  in  fierce  ^anger,  and 
did  eat  no  meat  the  second  day 
of  the  'month :  for  he  was  grieved 
for  Da'vid,  Ijecause  his  father 
had  done  him  sliame. 

35  ^  x\.nd  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  °J6n'a-than  went 
out  into  the  field  at  the  time  ap- 
pointed with  "Da'vid,  and  a  little 
lad  with  him. 

36  And  he  said  unto  his  lad. 
Run,  find  out  now  the  *arrows 
which  I  ^'shoot.  And  as  the  lad 
ran,  he  shot  an  arrow  beyond 
him. 

37  Anfl  when  the  lad  was  come 
to  the  place  of  the  arrow  which 
"Jon'a-than  had  shot,  JSn'a- 
than  cried  after  the  lad,  and 
said.  Is  not  the  arrow  beyond 
thee  ?

not.    And  Jon'a-than's  lad  gath-

himself  three  times:  and  ''■'"they 
kissed  one  another,  and  wept

'^Da'vid,  Go  in  peace,  forasmuch 
as  we  have  "•  "sworn  both  of  us  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord,  saying,

thee  and  between  my  seed  and

went  into  the  city. 

CHAPTER  21 

David  at  Nob  obtains  of  AMmelech  hallowed 
bread.  7  Docg  was  present.  8  David 
takes  Goliath's  sword.  10  David  flees  to 
Gath,     13  He  feigns  himself  mad. 

THEN  came  «Da'vid  to  *Nob 
to  *x\-him'e-lech  the  '"priest : 
and  x\-him'e-lech  ^was  afraid  at 
the  meeting  of  Da'vid,  and  said 
unto  him,  Why  art  thou  alone, 
and  no  man  with  thee  ? 

2  And  '^Da'vid  "said  unto 
*A-him'e-lech  the  priest,  The 
*king  hath  commanded  me  a 
business,  and  hath  said  unto  me. 
Let  no  man  know  any  thing  of 
the  business  whereabout  I  send 
thee,  and  what  I  have  command- 
ed thee:  and  I  have  appointed 
hny  servants  to  such  and  such  a 
place. 

3  Now  therefore  what  is  under 
thine  hand  ?  give  me  five  loaves 


of  bread  in  mine  hand,  or  what 
there  is  present. 

4  And  the  ''priest  answered"Da'- 
vid,  and  said.  There  is  no  com- 
mon bread  under  mine  hand, 
but  there  is  ^hallowed  bread; 
if  the  young  men  have  kept 
themselves  at  least  from  women. 

5  And  '^Da'vid  answered  the 
'■priest,  and  said  unto  him.  Of  a 
truth  women  have  been  kept 
from  us  about  these  three  days, 
since  I  came  out,  and  the  vessels 
of  the  young  men  are  holy,  ^and 
the  bread  is  in  a  manner  com- 
mon, yea,  though  it  were  sancti- 
fied this  day  in  the  vessel. 

6  So  the  priest  gave  him  'hal- 
lowed bread:  for  there  was  no 
l)read  there  but  the  shewl)read, 
that  was  taken  from  l)ef()re  the 
Lord,  to  put  hot  bread  in  the 
day  when  it  was  taken  away. 

7  Now  a  certain  man  of  the 
.servants  of  ^Saul  was  there  that 
day,  detained  before  the  Lord; 
and  his  name  was  ^Do'eg,  an 
''E'dom-Tte,  the  chiefest  of  the 
herdmen  that  belonged  to  Saul. 

8  And  "Da'vid  said  unto 
A-lnm'e-lcch,   And  is  there  not 

here  under  thine  hand  *spear 
or  ^sword  ?  for  I  have  neither 
brought  my  sword  nor  my  weap- 
ons with  me,  because  the  king's 
business  required  haste. 

9  And  the  priest  said.  The 
^•^sword  of  ^Go-ll'ath  the  Phi- 
iTs'tine,  whom  thou  slewest  in 
the  valley  of  'E'lah,  behold,  it  is 
here  wrapped  in  a  cloth  behind 
the  '"ephod:  if  thou  Avilt  take 
that,  take  it:  for  there  is  no 
other  save  that  here.  And  Da'- 
vid said,  There  is  none  like 
that;   give   it    me.

they  not  sing  one  to  another  of

'^TAA'VID  therefore  departed 
-L/  thence,  and  escaped  to 
the  ''cave  *A-dul'lam:  and  when 
his  brethren  and  all  his  father's 
house  heard  it,  they  went  down 
thither  to  him. 

2  And  every  one  that  was  in  dis- 
tress, and  every  one  that  %ms  in 
^debt,  and  every  one  that  was  dis- 
contented, gathered   themselves 


unto  him;  and  he  became  a  "^cap- 
tain over '^them:  antl  there  were 
with  himaboutfourhundred  men. 

3  ^  And  '^Da'vid  went  thence 
to  JSIiz'peh  of  ^Mo'ab:  and  %e 
said  unto  the  king  of  JNIo'ab, 
Let  my  ''father  and  my  mother, 
I  pray  thee,  come  forth,  and 
be  with  you,  ''till  I  know  what 
God  will  do  for  me. 

4  And  he  brought  them  before 
the  king  of  ''INItl'ab:  and  they 
dwelt  with  him  all  the  while  that 
Da'vid  was  in  the  hold. 

5  ^  And  the  'prophet  ^Gad  said 
unto  "Dfi'vid,  Abide  not  in  the

the  land  of  *Ju'dah.  Then  Da'- 
vid departed,  and  came  into  the 
forest  of  Ha'reth. 

6  Tf  When  ^Saul  heard  that 
"Da'vid  was  discovered,  and  the 
men  that  were  with  him,  (now

the  servants  of  Saul,  and  "said,  I 
saw  the  son  of  Jes'se  coming  to 
"Nob,  to  "'A-him'e-Iech  the  son 
of  ^A-hi'tub. 

10  And  ""he  ^enquired  of  the 
Lo  RD  f  or  him,  and  gave  him  ^vict- 
uals, and  gave  him  the  ''sword  of 
"Go-h'ath   the   Phi-lis'tine. 

11  T[  Then  the  '^•'^king  sent  to 
call  ''A-him'e-lech  the  ''priest, 
the  son  of  A-hi'tub,  and  all  his 
father's  house,  the  priests  that 
were  in  ^Nob :  and  they  came  all 
of  them  to  the  king. 

12  And  "•'^Saul  said,  Hear  now, 
thou  son  of  A-hl'tub.  And  he 
answered,  Here  I  am,  my  lord. 

13  And  '^•''Saul  "said  unto  him. 
Why  have  ye  Vonspired  against 
me,  ^tliou  and  the  ^son  of  Jes'se, 
in  that  thou  hast  given  him 
bread,  and  a  "sword,  and  hast 
enquired  of  God  for  him,  that  he 
should  rise  against  me,  to  lie  in 
wait,  as  at  this  day  ? 

14  Then  ^A-him'e-lech  an- 
swered the  "^king,  and  said.  And 
who  is  so  faithful  among  all  thy 
servants  as  'Da'vid,  which  is  the 
king's  son  in  law,  and  ^goeth  at 
thy  bidding,  and  is  honourable 
in   thine   house  ? 

15  Did  I  then  begin  to  enquire 
of  God  for  him  ?  be  it  far  from 
me:  let  not  the  king  impute  any 
thing  unto  his  servant,  nor  to  all 
the  house  of  my  father:  for  thy 
servant  knew  nothing  of  all  this, 
less  or  more. 

16  And  the  king  ^-^said.  Thou 
shalt  surely  die,  ''A-hTm'e-lech, 
thou,  and  all  thy  father's  house. 

17  And  the  king  *''said  unto  the 
^footmen  that  stood  about  him, 
Turn,  and  slay  the  'priests  of  the 
Lord;  because  their  hand  also 


is  with  'Da'vid,  and  because 
they  knew  when  he  fled,  and 
did  not  shew  it  to  me.  But  the 
servants  of  the  king  would  not 
put  forth  their  hand  to  fall  upon 
the  priests  of  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  king  ^'^said  to 
'"Do'eg,  Turn  thou,  and  fall  up- 
on the  ''priests.  And  Do'eg  the 
E'dom-Ite  turned,  and  he  fell  up- 
on the  priests,  and  slew  on  that 
day  fourscore  and  five  persons 
that  did  wear  a  linen  "ephod. 

19  And  ^Nob,  the  city  of  the 
'priests,  "smote  he  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  both  men  and 
women,  children  and  sucklings, 
and  oxen,  and  asses,  and  sheep, 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

20  T[  And  one  of  the  sons  of 
^A-him'e-lech  the  son  of  '^A-hl'- 
tub,  named  •'"A-bi'a-thar,  es- 
caped, and  fled  after  ^Da'vid. 

21  And  ^A-bi'a-thar  shewed 
^Da'vid  that  "Saul  ^''had  slain 
the  Lord's  'priests. 

22  And  'Da'vid  said  unto 
*A-bT'a-thar,  I  knew  it  that 
day,  when  "'Do'eg  the  E'dom-Ite 
was  there,  that  he  would  surely 
tell  ''Siiul :  I  have  occasioned  ihe 
death  of  all  the  persons  of  thy

Shall  I  go  and  smite  these  Thi-

unto  Da'vid,  Go,  and  smite  the 
Phi-lis'tincs,  and  save  *Ivei'lah. 

3  And  Da'vid's  men  said  unto 
him,  Behold,  we  be  afraid  here 
in  '^  Ju'dah :  how  much  more  then 
if  we  come  to  *Kci'lah  against 
the  armies  of  the  Phi-lTs'tines  ? 

4  Then  Da'vid  '-^enquired  of

Lord  answered  him  and  said, 
Arise,  go  down  to  *Kei'lah;  for

to  *Kci'lah,  and  fought  with  the 
''Phi-lis'tine.s,  and  brought  away 
their  'cattle,  and  smote  them 
with  a  great  slaughter.  So  Da'-

6  xVnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'' A-bl'a-thar  the  son  of  'A-him'-

iliat  he  came  down  with  an

7  *\\  And  it  was  told  "Saul  that 
"Da'vid  was  come  to  *Kei'lah. 
And  Saul  "said,  God  hath  deliv- 
ered him  into  mine  hand;  for  he 
is  shut  in,  by  entering  into  a 
town  that  hath  Agates  and  bars. 

8  And  "Saul  called  all  the  peo- 
ple together  to  '^war,  to  go  down 
to  Kei'lah,  to  besiege  Da'vid 
and  his  men. 

9  And  '^Da'vid  knew  that  "Saul 
'secretly  practised  mischief 
against  him;  and  he  said  to 
^A-l)I'a-tli;lr  the  priest,  Bring 
hither  the  '"ephod. 

10  Then  %aid  "Da'vid,  O

ant hath  certainly  heard  that 
Saul  seeketh  to  come  to  Kei'lah, 


to  destroy  the  city  for  my  sake. 

11  Will  the  men  of  *Kei'lah  de-

And  the  ^Lord  "said,  'They

13  Then  "Da'vid  and  his  men,

that  Da'vid  was  escaped  from 
Kei'lah;  and  he  forbare  to  go 
forth. 

14  And  "Da'vid  abode  in  the 
wilderness  in  strong  holds,  and 
remained  in  a  mountain  in  the 
wilderness  of  ^Ziph.  And  "Saul 
"sought  him  every  day,  but  (Jod 
"delivered  him  not  into  his  hand. 

15  x\nd  "Da'vid  saw  that  "Saul 
was  come  out  to  seek  his  life: 
and  Da'vid  was  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  'Ziph  in  a  w'ood. 

16  ^  And  ''Jon'a-than  Saul's 
son  arose,  and  ""went  to  "Da'vid 
into  the  wood,  and  strengthened 
his  hand  in  God. 

17  And  "he  said  unto  him.  Fear

20  Now  therefore,  O  king,  come 
down  according  to  all  the  desire 
of  tiiy  soul  to  come  down;  and 
our  part  shall  he  to  deliver  him 
into  the  king's  hand. 

21  And  ''Saul  said,  Blessed  he 
ye  of  the  Lord;  for  ye  have  com- 
passion on  me. 

22  ^Go,  I  pray  you,  ^prepare 
yet,  and  know  and  see  his  place 
where  his  haunt  is,  and  who  hath 
seen  him  there:  for  it  is  told  me 
ihat  he  dealeth  very  subtilly. 

23  ^See  therefore,  and  take 
knowledge  of  all  the  lurking 
places  where  he  hideth  himself, 
and  come  ye  again  to  me  with 
the  certainty,  and  I  will  go  with 
you:  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if 
he  be  in  the  land,  that  I  will 
search  him  out  throughout  all 
the  thousands  of  ''Ju'dah. 

24  And  they  arose,  and  went  to 
"Ziph  before  "Saul:  but  "Da'vid 
and  his  men  were  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  Ma'on,  in  the  ^plain  on 
the  south  of  ^•''Jesh'i-mon. 

25  ''Saul  also  and  his  men  went 
to  seek  him,.  And  they  told  '^Da'- 
vid:  wherefore  he  came  down 
into  a  rock,  and  abode  in 
the  wilderness  of  Ma'on.  And 
when  Saul  heard  ihat,  he  pursued 
after  Da'vid  in  the  wilderness 
of  Ma'on. 

26  And  ''Saul  went  on  this  side 
of  the  mountain,  and  "Da'vid 
and  his  men  on  that  side  of 
the  mountain :  and  Da'vid  made 
haste  to  get  away  for  fear  of 
Saul;  for  Saul  and  his  men 
compassed  Da'vid  and  his 
men  round  al)Out  to  take  them. 

27  Tf  But  there  came  a  messen- 
ger unto  Saul,  saying,  Haste 
thee,  and  come;  for  the  Thi- 
lis'tines  have  invaded  the  land. 

28  Wherefore   ''Saul    returned 
I  from  pursuing  after  '^Da'vid,  and 


went  against  the  ''Phi-lis'tines : 
therefore  they  called  that  place 
Se'la-ham-mah-le'koth. 

29  \  And  '^Da'vid  went  up  from 
thence,  and  dwelt  in  strong  holds 
at  'En-ge'dl. 

CHAPTER  24 

David  in  a  cave  at  En-gedl  cuts  off  Saul's 
skirt  but  spares  Ms  life.  8  He  shews 
therebu  his  innocency.  16  Saul,  acknowl- 
edging his  fault,  takes  an  oath  of  David, 
and  departs. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'^Saul  was  returned  from 
following  the  *Phi-lis'tine.s,  that 
it  was  told  him,  saying,  Behold, 
"^Da'vid  is  in  the  wilderness  of 
''En-ge'di. 

2  Then  "Saul  took  three  thou- 
sand chosen  men  out  of  all  *Is'- 
ra-el,  and  went  to  seek  "Da'vid 
and  his  men  upon  the  rocks  of 
the  wild  'goats. 

3  And  he  came  to  the  sheep- 
cotes  by  the  way,  where  was  a 
"cave ;  and  ''Saul  went  in  to  cover 
his  feet:  and  '^Da'vid  and  his 
men  ^-emained  in  the  sides  of 
the  cave. 

4  And  the  men  of  '^Da'vid  said 
unto  him,  Behold  the  day  of 
which  the  Lord  said  unto  thee, 
Behold,  I  will  deliver  thine  ene- 
my into  thine  hand,  that  thou 
mayest  do  to  him  as  it  shall  seem 
good  unto  thee.  Then  Da'vid 
arose,  and  cut  off  the  skirt  of 
'^Saul's  robe  privily. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  after- 
ward, that  '^Da'vid's  ''•'heart 
smote  him,  because  he  had  cut 
off  Saul's  skirt. 

6  And  'he  said  unto  his  men, 
'^The  Lord  forbid  that  I  should 
do  this  thing  unto  my  master, 
the  Lord's  anointed,  to  stretch 
forth  mine  hand  against  him, 
seeing  he  is  the  anointed  of  the 
Lord. 

7  So  'Da'vid  stayed  his  serv- 
ants with  these  words,  and  suf- 
fered them  not  to  rise  against

of  the  "cave,  and  went  on  his

8  Tf  ^Dfi'vid  also  arose  after- 
ward, and  went  out  of  the  "cave, 
and  cried  after  "Saul,  saying, 
'"My  lord  tiic  king.  And  when 
Saul  looked  behind  him,  Da'vid 
stooped  with  his  face  to  the 
earth,  and  bowed  himself. 

9  And  ''Da'vid  said  to  "Saul, 
Wherefore  hearest  thou  men's 
"words,  saying,  Behold,  Da'vid 
seeketh  thy  hurt  ? 

10  Behold,  this  day  thine  eyes 
have  seen  how  that  the  Lord 
had  delivered  thee  to  day  into 
mine  hand  in  the  "cave:  and 
soinr  bade  mc  kill  thee:  but  mine 
cj/e  "spared  ''tlice;  and  'I  said,  I 
will  not  put  forth  mine  hand 
against  my  lord;  for  he  is  the 
Lord's  anointed. 

11  Moreover,  my  father,  see, 
yea,  see  the  skirt  of  thy  robe  in 
my  hand:  for  in  that  I  cut  off 
the  sldrt  of  thy  ro1)e,  and  ^killed 
thee  not,  know  thou  and  see  that 
there  is  neither  evil  nor  trans- 
gression in  mine  hand,  and  I 
have  not  sinned  against  thee; 
yet  thou  huntest  my  soul  to 
take  it. 

12  The  IvORD  "judge  between 
me  and  thee,  and  the  Lord 
avenge  me  of  thee:  but  mine 
hand  shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

13  As  saith  the  *proverb  of  the 
ancients,  Wickedness  proceedeth 
from  the  ''wicked :  but  mine  hand 
shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

14  "After  whom  is  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el  come  out  ?  after  whom 
df)st  thou  pursue  ?  after  a  dead 
'dog,  after  a  "flea. 

15  The  Lord  therefore  be 
'judge,  and  judge  between  me 
and  thee,  and  see,  and  plead  my 
cause,  and  ^'deliver  me  out  of 
thine  hand. 

16  1[  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 


'Da'vid  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking  these  words  unto  "Saul, 
that  Saul  said,  /*•  this  thy  voice, 
my  son  Da'vid  ?  And  Saul  lifted 
up  his  voice,  and  wept. 

17  And  he  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou 
arl  more  righteous  than  L'  for 
thou  hast  rewarded  me  "good, 
'"whereas  I  have  rewarded  thee 
evil. 

18  And  thou  hast  shewed  this 
day  how  that  thou  hast  "dealt 
well  with  me:  forasmuch  as 
when  the  Lord  had  delivered 
me  into  thine  hand,  thou  "kill- 
edst  me  not. 

19  For  if  a  man  find  his  ene- 
my, ^will  he  let  him  go  well 
away?  wherefore  the  Lord  re- 
ward thee  good  for  that  thou 
hast  done  unto  me  this  day. 

20  And  now,  behold,  I  know 
well  that  thou  shalt  surely  be 
king,  and  that  the  kingdom  of 
Ls'ra-el  shall  be  established  in 
thine  hand. 

21  ■'Swear  now  therefore  unto 
me  by  the  JvORD,  that  thou  wilt 
not  cut  off  my  seed  after  me,  anrl 
that  thou  wilt  not  destroy  my 
name  out  of  my  father's  house. 

22  And  Da'vid  ^sware  unto 
Saul.  And  Saul  went  home;  but 
Da'vid  and  his  men  gat  them 
up  unto  the  hold.

great,  and  he  had  three  thousand 
'sheep,  and  a  thousand  'goats: 
and  he  was  shearing  his  sheep  in 
Car'mel. 

3  Now  the  name  of  the  man  was 
Na'bal ;  and  the  name  of  his  wife 
*Ab'i-gail :  and  she  was  a  woman 
of  *'good  understanding,  and  of  a 
^beautiful  countenance:  but  the 
man  was  churlish  and  evil  in  his 
doings;  and  he  was  of  the  house 
of  '"Ca'leb. 

4  And  ^Da'vid  heard  in  the 
wilderness  that  Na'bal  did  shear 
his  sheep. 

5  And  Da'vid  sent  out  ten 
young  men,  and  Da'vid  said  un- 
to the  young  men,  Get  you  up  to 
^Car'mel,  and  go  to  Na'bal,  and 
greet  him  in  my  name: 

6  And  thus  shall  ye  say  to  him 
that  liveth  in  prosperity,  "Peace 
be  both  to  thee,  and  peace  he  to 
thine  house,  and  peace  he  unto 
all  that  thou  hast. 

7  And  now  I  have  heard  that 
thou  hast  shearers:  now  thy 
shepherds  which  were  with  us, 
we  hurt  them  not,  neither  was 
there  ought  missing  unto  them, 
all  the  while  they  were  in  ^Car'- 
mel. 

8  Ask  thy  young  men,  and  they 
will  shew  thee.  Wherefore  let  the 
young  men  find  favour  in  thine 
eyes :  for  we  come  in  a  good  day : 
give,  I  pray  thee,  whatsoever 
Cometh  to  thine  hand  unto  thy 
servants,  and  to  thy  son  '^Da'vid. 

9  And  when  ^Da'vid's  young 
men  came,  they  spake  to  Na'bal 
according  to  all  those  words  in 
the  name  of  Da'vid,  and  ceased. 

10  And  Na'bal  answered  ^Da'- 
vid's  servants,  and  said,  Who  is 
Da'vid  ?  and  who  is  the  son  of 
"Jes'se  ?  there  be  many  servants 
now  a  days  that  break  away 
every  man  from  his  master. 


11  Shall  I  then  take  my  bread, 
and  my  water,  and  my  flesh  that 
I  have  killed  for  my  shearers, 
and  give  it  unto  men,  whom  I 
know  not  whence  they  he  ? 

12  So  ^Da'vid's  young  men 
turned  their  way,  and  went 
again,  and  came  and  told  him 
all  those  sayings. 

13  And  ^Da'vid  said  unto  his 
men.  Gird  ye  on  every  man  his 
sword.  And  they  girded  on  every 
man  his  sword;  and  Da'vid  also 
girded  on  his  sword:  and  there 
went  up  after  Da'vid  about  four 
hundred  men;  and  two  hundred 
abode  by  the  stuff. 

14  *\  But  one  of  the  young 
Praen  told  *Ab'i-gail,  Na'bal's 
wife,  saying.  Behold,  ^Da'vid 
sent  messengers  out  of  the  wil- 
derness to  salute  our  master; 
and  he  railed  on  them. 

15  But  the  men  ivere  very  good 
unto  us,  and  we  were  not  hurt, 
''neither  missed  we  any  thing,  as 
long  as  we  were  conversant  with 
them,  when  we  were  in  the  fields : 

16  They  were  a  wall  unto  us 
both  by  night  and  day,  all  the 
while  we  were  with  them  keep- 
ing the  sheep. 

17  Now  therefore  know  and 
consider  what  thou  wilt  do;  for 
evil  is  determined  against  our 
master,  and  against  all  his 
household:  for  he  is  such  a  son 
of  Be'li-al,  that  a  man  cannot 
speak  to  him. 

18  *'^Then  *Ab'i-gail  made 
haste,  and  took  two  hundred 
"loaves,  and  two  bottles  of  ''wine, 
and  five  "'sheep  ready  dressed, 
and  five  ^measures  of  parched

ants,  Go  on  before  me;  behold, 
I  come  after  you.  But  she  told 
not  her  husband  Na'bal. 

20  And  it  was  so,  as  she  rode  on 
the  ass,  that  she  came  down  by 
the  covert  of  the  hill,  and,  be- 
hold, "Da'vid  and  his  men  came 
down  against  her;  and  she  met 
them. 

21  Now  "Da'vid  had  said,  Sure- 
ly in  vain  have  I  kept  all  that 
this  fellow  hath  in  the  wil- 
derness, so  that  nothing  was 
missed  of  all  that  pcriaincd  un- 
to him:  and  he  ''hath  requited 
me  '"evil  for  good. 

22  ''So  and  more  also  do  God 
unto  the  enemies  of  Da'vid,  '^if 
I  leave  of  all  that  pctiaiii  to  him 
by  tiie  morning  light  "aiiy  that 
pisseth  against  the  wall. 

23  And  when  *Ab'T-gail  saw 
''Da'vid,  ^she  hasted,  and  lighted 
off  the  ass,  and  ''fell  before  Da'- 
vid  on  her  face,  and  bowed  her- 
self to  the  ground. 

2i  And  fell  at  his  feet,  and 
^said,  ^Upon  me,  my  lord,  ^upon 
me  let  this  iniquity  be:  and  let 
thine  handmaid,  I  pray  thee, 
speak  in  thine  audience,  and  hear 
the  words  of  thine  handmaid. 

25  ''Let  not  my  lord,  1  pray 
thee,  regard  this  man  of  Be'li-al, 
etm  Na'bal:  for  as  his  name  is, 
so  i.9  'ae;  Na'l)al  is  his  name,  and 
folly  ?'.s'  with  him:  Ijut  I  thine 
handmaid  saw  not  the  young 
men  of  my  lord,  whom  thou 
didst   send. 

26  ^Now  therefore,  my  lord,  as 
the  Lord  Hveth,  and  as  thy  soul 
liveth,  seeing  the  Lord  hath 
withholden  thee  from  ^coming  to 
shed  blood,  and  from  avenmno; 
thyself  with  thine  own  hand, 
now  let  thine  enemies,  and  they 
that  seek  evil  to  my  lord,  be  as 
Na'bal. 


27  ^And  now  this  ^  'blessing 
which  thine  handmaid  hath 
brought  unto  my  lord,  let  it  even 
be  given  unto  the  young  men 
that  follow  my  lord. 

28  I  pray  thee,  forgive  the  tres- 
pass of  thine  handmaid:  ''^for 
the  Lord  will  certainly  make 
my  lord  a  sure  house;  because 
my  lord  fighteth  the  battles  of 
the  Lord,  and  evil  hath  not 
been  found  in  thee  all  thy  days. 

29  *Yet  a  man  is  risen  to  pursue 
thee,  and  to  seek  thy  soul:  but 
the  soul  of  my  lord  shall  be 
bound  in  the  bundle  of  life  with 
the  Lord  thy  God;  and  the 
souls  of  thine  enemies,  them 
shall  he  sling  out,  as  out  of  the 
middle  of  a  sling. 

30  *^And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  the  Lord  shall  have  done 
to  my  lord  according  to  all  the 
good  that  he  hath  spoken  con- 
cerning thee,  and  shall  have  'ap- 
pointed thee  ruler  over  Is'ra-el; 

31  That  this  shall  be  no  grief 
unto  thee,  nor  offence  of  heart 
unto  my  lord,  either  that  thou 
hast  shed  blood  causeless,  or 
that  my  lord  hath  avenged  him- 
self: but  when  the  Lord  siiall 
have  dealt  well  with  my  lord, 
then  remember  thine  handmaid. 

32  If  And  '^Da'vid  said  to  *Ab'T- 
gail,  Blessed  be  the  Lord  (j(h\ 
of  Is'ra-el,  which  sent  thee  this 
day  to  meet  me: 

33  And  blessed  he  thy  advice, 
and  blessed  be  thou,  which  hast 
kept  me  this  day  from  '^'oming 
to  shed  blood,  and  from  aveng- 
ing myself  with  mine  own  hand. 

34  For  in  very  deed,  as  the

to  Na'bal  by  the  morning  light 
^any  that  pisseth  against  the 
wall. 

35  So  Da'vid  received  of 
her  hand  Hhat  which  she  had 
brought  him,  and  said  unto  her, 
Go  up  in  peace  to  thine  house; 
see,  I  have  hearkened  to  thy 
voice,  and  have  accepted  thy 
person. 

36  1  And  *Ab'I-gail  came  to 
Na'bal;  and,  behold,  he  held  a 
'"feast  in  his  house,  like  the  feast 
of  a  king;  and  Na'bal's  heart 
was  merry  within  him,  for  he 
was  very  "drunken:  wherefore 
she  told  him  nothing,  less  or 
more,  until  the  morning  light. 

37  But  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  when  the  "wine  was 
gone  out  of  Na'bal,  and  his  wife 
had  told  him  these  things,  that 
his  heart  died  within  him,  and  he 
became  as  a  stone. 

38  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
ten  days  apcr,  that  the  Lord 
"smote  Na'bal,  that  he  ^died. 

39  And  when  "Da'vid  heard 
that  Na'bal  was  dead,  he  said. 
Blessed  he  the  T^ord,  that  hath 
pleaded  the  cause  of  my  re- 
proach from  the  hand  of  Na'bal, 
and  hath  kept  his  servant  from 
evil :  for  the  Lord  hath  returned 
the  wickedness  of  Na'bal  upon 
his  own  head.  And  Da'vid  sent 
and  ^communed  with  *Ab'i-gail, 
to  take  her  to  him  to  wife. 

40  And  when  the  servants  of 
Da'vid  were  come  to  *Ab'i-gail 
to  ^Car'mel,  they  spake  unto 
her,  saying,  "Da'vid  sent  us  unto 
thee,  to  take  thee  to  him  to  wife. 

41  And  she  arose,  and  ''bowed 
herself  on  her  face  to  the  earth, 
and  said,  Behold,  let  thine  hand- 
maid he  a  servant  to  ''wash  the 
feet  of  the  servants  of  my  lord. 

42  And  *Ab'i-gail  hasted,  and 
arose,   and   rode   upon   an   ass, 


with  five  damsels  of  her's  that 
went  after  her;  and  she  went 
after  the  messengers  of  Da'vid, 
and  became  his  wife. 

43  "Da'vid  also  took  "A-hin'- 
o-am  of  ^Jez're-el;  and 'they  were 
also  both  of  them  his  wives. 

44  But  "Saul  had  given  "Ml'- 
chal  his  daughter,  Da'vid's  wife, 
to  '"Phal'ti  the  son  of  ^La'ish, 
which  was  of  ^Gal'lim. 

CHAPTER  26 

Saul,  upon  the  information  of  the  Ziphltes, 
pursues  David.  5  David  stays  Abishai 
from  killing  Saul,  but  takes  hi.t  spear  and 
cruse.  13  David  reproves  Ahncr,  18  and 
exhorts  Saul.  21  Saul  acknowledges  Ms 
sin. 

AND  the  Ziph'ites  came  unto 
"Saul  to  "Gib'e-ah,  saying. 
Doth  not  '^Da'vid  hiile  himself 
in  the  hill  of  '^Hach'i-lah,  whwh 
is  before  ^'^Jesh'i-mon  ? 

2  'Then  "Saul  arose,  and  went 
down  to  the  wilderness  of  ''Ziph, 
having  three  thousand  chosen 
''men  of  Is'ra-el  with  him,  to 
seek  '^Da'vid  in  the  wilderness  of 
Ziph. 

3  And  "Saul  pitched  in  the  hill 
of  '^Hach'i-lah,  which  is  before 
*Jesh'i-m6n,  by  the  way.  But 
''Da'vid  abode  in  the  wilderness, 
and  he  saw  that  Saul  came  after 
him  into  the  wilderness. 

4  '^Da'vid  therefore  sent  out 
'spies,  and  understood  that  "Saul 
was  come  in  very  deed. 

5  ^  And  ''Da'vid  arose,  and 
came  to  the  place  where  "Saul 
had  pitched:  and  Da'vid  beheld 
the  place  where  Saul  lay,  and 
'Ab'ner  the  son  of  *Ner,  the  cap- 
tain of  his  host:  and  Saul  lay 
'in  the  trench,  and  the  people 
pitched  round  about  him. 

6  Then  answered  ''Da'vid  and

tlte,  and  to  '"A-bTsh'a-I  the  son  of 
Zer-u-I'ah,  brother  to  "Jo'ab,

A-bish'a-I  said,  I   will  go  down 
with  thee. 

7  "So  ^DuVid  and  '"A-bi.sh'a-I 
came  to  tlie  people  by  night: 
and,  behold,  "Saul  lay  sleep- 
ing Hvithin  the  trench,  ami  his 
''spear  stuck  in  the  ground 
at  his  "bolster:  but  ^Ab'nrr 
and  the  people  lay  round  about 
him. 

8  Then  said  "'A-bish'a-I  to  Da'- 
vid,  God  hath  delivered  thine 
'enemy  into  thine  hand  this  day: 
now  therefore  let  me  smite  him, 
I  pray  thee,  with  the  ^spear 
even  to  the  earth  at  once,  and  I 
will  not  smite  him  the  second 
time. 

9  And  '••^Da'vid  said  to  '«A- 
bish-a-I,'-"' "Destroy him  not:  for 
who  can  stretch  forth  his  hand 
against  the  Lord's  anointed, 
and  be  guiltless? 

10  '^Da'vid  said  furthermore, 
^5  the  Lord  liveth,  the  Lord 
shall  smite  him;  or  his  day  shall 
come  to  'Mie;  or  he  shall  descend 
into  battle,  and  perish. 

11  ^The  Lord  forbid  that  n 
should  stretch  forth  mine  hand 
against  the  Lord's  anointed: 
but,  I  pray  thee,  take  thou  now 
the  spear  that  is  at  his  bolster, 
and  the  *cruse  of  water,  and  let 
us  go. 

12  So  '^Da'vid  took  the  ^spear 
and  the  *cruse  of  water  from 
Saul's  "bolster;  and  they  gat 
them  away,  and  no  man  saw  it, 
nor  knew  it,  ne'ther  awaked :  for 
they  ivere  all  ^asleep;  because  a 
deep  sleep  from  the  Lord  was 
fallen  upon  them. 

13  If  Then  "Da/vid  went  over  to 
the  other  side,  and  stood  on  the 
top  of  an  hill  afar  off;  a  great 
space  heincj  between  them: 

14  And  Da'vid  cried  to  the  peo- 
ple, and  to  *Ab'ner  the  son  of 
'Ner,  saying,  Answere.st  thou 
not,  Ab'ner  ?    Then  Ab'ner  an- 


*  CRU.se.     a  vessel  for  lUjuids,  1  Sam. 


swered  and  said,  Who  art  thou 
that  criest  to  the  "king  ? 

15  And  "Da'vid  said  to  "Ab'- 
ner, Art  not  thou  a  valiant 
man  ?  and  who  is  like  to  thee  in 
Is'ra-el?  wherefore  then  hast 
thou  not  kept  thy  lord  the  '^king  ? 
for  there  came  one  of  the  people 
in  to  destroy  the  king  thy  lord. 

10  This  thing  is  not  good  that 
thou  hast  done.  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  ye  are  worthy  to  die,  be- 
cause ye  have  not  kept  your  mas- 
ter, the  Lord's  anointed.  And 
now  see  where  the  king's  ''spear 
is,  and  the  *cruse  of  water  that 
was  at  his  ''bolster. 

17  And  «'Saul  knew  "^Da'vid's 
voice,  and  said.  Is  this  thy  voice, 
mysonDa'vid  ?  And  Da'vid said. 
It  is  my  voice,  my  lord,  O  king. 

18  And  he  said.  Wherefore  doth 
my  lord  ''thus  pursue  after  his 
servant  ?  for  what  have  I  done  ? 
or  what  evil  is  in  mine  hand  ? 

19  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
let  my  lord  the  king  hear  the 
words  of  his  servant.  If  the 
Lord  have  stirred  thee  up 
against  me,  let  him  accept  an 
offering:  but  if  they  be  the  chil- 
dren of  men,  cursed  be  they  be- 
fore the  Lord-  for  they  have 
driven  me  out  this  day  from 
abiding  in  the  inheritance  of  the 
Lord,  saying.  Go,  serve  other 
gods. 

20  Now  therefore,  let  not  my 
blood  fall  to  the  earth  •''before 
the  face  of  the  Lord:  for  the 
king  of  I.^'ra-el  is  come  out  to 
seek  a  'flea,  as  when  one  doth 
^hunt  a  '^partridge  in  the  moun- 
tains. 

21  Tf  Then  said  ^Saul,  ^I  have 
sinned:  return,  my  son  "Da'vid: 
for  I  will  no  more  do  thee  harm, 
because  my  ''soul  was  precious 
in  thine  eyes  this  day:  behold,  I 
have  played  the  fool,  and  have 
erred  exceedingly.

22  And  "Da'vid  answered  and 
said,  Behold  the  king's  'spear! 
and  let  one  of  the  young  men 
come  over   and  fetch  it. 

23  The  Lord  ^•'"render  to 
every  man  his  righteousness  and 
his  faithfulness:  for  the  Lord 
delivered  "thee  into  my  hand 
to  day,  but  I  would  not  stretch 
forth  mine  hand  against  the 
Lord's   anointed. 

24  And,  behold,  as  thy  life  was 
much  set  by  this  day  in  mine 
eyes,  so  let  my  life  be  much  set 
by  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and 
let  him  "deliver  me  out  of  all 
^tribulation. 

25  Then  ^Saul  said  to  Da'vid, 
''Blessed  be  thou,  my  son  Da'vid: 
thou  shalt  both  do  great  ihings, 
and  also  shalt  still  prevail.  So 
Da'vid  M^ent  on  his  way,  and 
Saul  returned  to  his  place. 

CHAPTER  27 

David  flees  to  Gath,  and  Saul  seeks  no  more 
for  him.  5  Achish  gives  Ziklag  to  David. 
8  He  deceives  AcMsh. 

AND  "Da'vid  said  in  his 
heart,  I  shall  now  perish 
one  day  by  the  hand  of  ''Saul: 
'^ there  is  nothing  better  for  me 
than  that  I  should  speedily  es- 
cape into  the  land  of  the  '^Phi- 
lis'tine.s;  and  Saul  shall  despair 
of  me,  to  seek  me  any  more  in 
'any  coast  of  I.s'ra-el:  so  shall  I 
escape  out  of  his  hand. 

2  And  "Da'vid  arose,  and  he 
passed  over  with  the  six  hun- 
dred men  that  were  with  him 
unto  ^A'chish,  the  son  of  ISIa'- 
och,    king    of    ^Gath. 

3  And  "Da'vid  dwelt  with 
*A'chish  at  'Gath,  he  and  his 
men,  every  man  with  his  house- 
hold, even  Da'vid  with  his  ''two 
wives,  ''A-hin'o-&m  the  Jez're-el- 
it-ess,  and  *Ab'i-gail  the  Ciir'- 
mel-it-ess,   Na'bal's  wife. 

4  And  it  was  told  ''Saul  that 
"Da'vid  was  fled  to  'GSth :  and 


lie  sought    no    more    again  for 
him. 

5  T[  And  "Da'vid  said  unto 
''A'chish,  If  I  have  now  found 
grace  in  thine  eyes,  let  them  give 
me  a  place  in  some  town  in  the 
country,  that  I  may  dwell  there : 
for  why  should  thy  servant  dwell 
in  the  royal  ^city  with  thee  ? 

6  Then  "^A'chish  gave  him 
'Zik'lag  that  day:  wherefore 
Zik'lag  pertaineth  unto  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah  unto  this  day. 

7  And  the  time  that  "Da'vid 
dwelt  in  the  country  of  the  '^Phi- 
hs'tines  was  a  full  year  and  four 
months. 

8  ^  And  "Da'vid  and  his  men 
went  up,  and  invaded  the 
'Gesh'u-rites,  and  the  '"Gez'- 
rites,  and  the  "Am'a-lek-Ites:  for 
those  nations  were  of  old  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  as  thou 
goest  to  "Shur,  even  unto  the 
land   of   '^E'gypt. 

9  And  "Da'vitl  smote  the  land, 
and  left  'neither  man  nor 
woman  alive,  and  took  away 
the  '^sheep,  and  the  oxen,  and 
the  a.sses,  and  the  camels,  and 
the  apparel,  and  returned,  and 
came  to  A'chish. 

10  And  « A'chish  said,  Whither 
have  ye  made  a  road  to  day  ? 
And  Da'vid  ''.said,  Against  the 
south  of  "Ju'dah,  and  against 
the  south  of  the  Je-riih'me-el- 
ites,  and  against  the  south  of 
the   Ken'Ites. 

11  And  "Da'vid  saved  neither 
"man  nor  woman  alive,  to  bring 
tidings  to  'Gath,  saying,  Lest 
they  should  tell  on  us,  saying, 
So  did  Da'vid,  and  so  will  be 
his  manner  all  the  while  he  dwell- 
eth  in  the  country  of  the  '^Plu- 
iTs'-tines. 

12  And  ^\'chish  believed  "Da'- 
vid, saying,  He  hath  made  his 
people  Ls'ra-el  utterly  to  abhor 
him;  therefore  he  shall  be  my 
servant  for  ever.

CHAPTER  28 


.ic/ilsft  pu^s  confidence  in  Dnvid  3  tSuu;, 
forsaken  of  God.  rcxorts  unto  a  Witch  at 
En  dor.  12  Samuel  appears  and  makes 
known  to  Saul  his  approaching  ruin. 

AND  it  came  to  pas.s  in  those 
days,  that  the  "PhT-hs'- 
tine.s  gathered  their  '"armies  to- 
gether for  '^warfare,  to  fight  with 
'^I.a'ra-el.  And  "^A'chish  said  un- 
to ^Da'vid,  Know  thou  assured- 
ly, that  thou  shalt  go  out  with 
me  to  battle,  thou  and  thy  men. 

2  And  'Dii'Vul  said  to  ^A'chish, 
Surely  thou  shalt  know  what  thy 
servant  can  do.  And  A'chish 
said  to  Da'vid,  Therefore  will  I 
make  thee  keeper  of  mine  head 
for  ever. 

3  Tl  Now  ^Sam'u-el  was  dead, 
and  all  I.^'ra-el  had  ''lamented 
him,  and  'buried  him  in  'Ra'- 
mah,  even  in  his  own  city.  And 
^Saul  had  put  away  those  that 
had  'familiar  spirits,  and  the 
'"wizards,  out  of  the  land. 

4  And  the  "•"PhT-lTs'ttne.s  gath- 
ered themselves  together,  and 
came  and  pitched  in  Shu'nem: 
and  'Saul  gathered  all  Is'ra-el 
together,  and  they  pitched  in 
"Gil-bo'a. 

5  And  when  'Saul  saw  the 
*host  of  the  Phi-lTs'tine.s,  he  was 
"afraid,  and  his  heart  greatly 
trembled. 

6  And  when  'Saul  enquired 
of  the  Lord,  the  Lord  ^■''an- 
swered him  not,  neither  by 
''dreams,  nor  by  *U'rim,  nor  by 
'prophets. 

7  Then  said  'Saul  unto  his 
servants,  Seek  me  a  Wf)nian  that 
"hath  a  'familiar  sj)iril,  that  I 
may  go  to  her,  and  encjuire  of 
her.  And  his  servants  said  to 
him,  Behold,  fJirre  is  a  woman 
that   hath   a   familiar  spirit   at 

En'-dor. 

8  And  'Saul  di.sgui.sed  him.self, 
and  put  on  other  raiment,  and  he 


went,  and  two  men  with  him, 
and  they  came  to  the  woman  by 
night:  and  he  said,  I  pray  thee, 
"divine  unto  me  by  the  'familiar 
spirit,  and  bring  me  him  up, 
whom  I  shall  name  unto  thee. 

9  And  the  woman  said  unto 
him.  Behold,  thou  knowest  what 
'Saul  hath  done,  how  he  hath 
cut  off  those  that  have  'familiar 
spirits,  and  the  '"wizards,  out  of 
the  land:  wherefore  then  layest 
thou  a  snare  for  my  life,  to  cause 
me  to  die  ? 

10  And  Saul  '"sware  to  her  by 
the  Lord,  saying,  .1.?  the  Lord 
liveth,  there  shall  no  punish- 
ment happen  to  thee  for  this 
thing. 

11  Then  said  the  woman, 
Whom  shall  I  bring  up  unto 
thee  ?  And  he  said,  Bring  me 
up  ''Sam'u-el. 

12  And  when  the  woman  saw 
''Sam'u-el,  she  cried  with  a  loud 
voice:  and  the  woman  spake  to 
'Saul,  saying.  Why  hast  thou  de- 
ceived me  ?  for  thou  art  'Saul. 

13  x\nd  the  king  said  unto  her. 
Be  not  afraid:  for  what  sawest 
thou  ?  And  the  woman  said  unto 
Saul,  I  'saw  gods  ascending  out 
of  the  earth. 

14  And  he  said  unto  her,  What 
form  is  he  of  ?  And  she  said,  An 
old  man  cometh  up;  and  he  i.i 
covered  with  a  ^mantle.  And 
'Saul  perceived  that  it  iva.s 
"Sam'u-el,  and  he  stooped  with 
his  face  to  the  ground,  and 
bowed   himself. 

15  And  ''Sam'u-el  sairl  to  ''Saul, 
Why  hast  thou  disquieted  me,  to 
biing  me  up  ?  And  Saul  an- 
swered, I  am  sore  distressed; 
for  the  Phi-lTs'tines  make  war 
aiiainst  me,  and  God  is  ^depart- 
ed from  ^me,  and  answereth  me 
no  more,  neither  by  ^prophets, 
nor  by  "dreams:  therefore  I  have

called  thee,  that  thou  mayest 
make  known  unto  me  what  I 
shall  do. 

16  Then  said  "Sam'u-eljWhere- 
fore  then  dost  thou  ask  of  me, 
seeing  the  Lord  is  departed 
from  thee,  and  is  become  thine 
enemy  ? 

17  And  the  Lord  hath  ^done  to 
him,  as  he  spake  by  me:  for  '^the 
Lord  hath  ''rent  the  kingdom 
out  of  thine  hand,  and  given  it  to 
thy  neighbour,  eveii  to  *^Da'vid: 

18  Because  thou  ''obeyedst  not 
the  voice  of  the  I.,ord,  nor  ex- 
ecutedst  his  fierce  ^wrath  upon 
''Am'a-lek,  therefore  hath  the 
Lord  done  '^this  thing  unto  thee 
this  day. 

19  Moreover  the  Lord  will  al- 
so '^deUver  Is'ra-el  with  thee  in- 
to the  hand  of  the  *Phi-lis'tines : 
and  to  morrow  shalt  thou  and 
thy  %ons  be  with  me:  the  Lord 
also  shall  '^deliver  the  host  of 
Is'ra-el  into  the  hand  of  the 
Phi-lis'tine.s. 

20  Then  '^Saul  fell  straightway 
all  along  on  the  earth,  and  was 
sore  ^afraid,  because  of  the 
words  of  "Sam'u-el:  and  there 
was  no  strength  in  him;  for  he 
had  '"eaten  no  bread  all  the  day 
nor  all  the  night. 

21  ^  And  the  woman  came  unto 
*Saul,  and  saw  that  he  was  sore 
troubled,  and  said  unto  him, 
Behold,  thine  handmaid  hath 
obeyed  thy  voice,  and  I  have  put 
my  life  in  my  band,  and  have 
hearkened  unto  thy  words  which 
thou  spakest  unto  me. 

22  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
hearken  thou  also  unto  the  voice 
of  thine  handmaid,  and  "let  me 
set  a  morsel  of  "bread  before 
thee;  and  eat,  that  thou  mayest 
have  strength,  when  thou  goest 
on  thy  way. 

23  But  he  refused,  and  said,  I 
will  not  eat.  But  his  servants, 
together  with  the  woman,  com- 


pelled him;  and  he  hearkened 
unto  their  voice.  So  he  arose  from 
the  earth,  and  sat  upon  the  bed. 

24  "And  the  woman  had  a  fat 
calf  in  the  house ;  and  she  hasted, 
and  killed  it,  and  took  flour,  and 
kneaded  it,  and  did  bake  un- 
leavened bread  thereof: 

25  "And  she  brought  it  before 
Saul,  and  before  his  servants; 
and  they  did  eat.  Then  they 
rose  up,  and  went  away  that 
night. 

CHAPTER  29 

The  lords  of  the  Philistines  mistrust  David. 
6  Achlsh  dismisses  him,  with  commenda- 
tions of  his  fldclitv. 

NOW  the  «Phi-lis'tines  gath- 
ered together  all  their  ''ar- 
mies to  '^A'phek:  and  the  '^Is'- 
ra-el-Ites  pitched  by  a  fountain 
which  is  in  ^Jez're-el. 

2  And  the  lords  of  the  «Phi-lis'- 
tines  passed  on  by  hundreds, 
and  by  thousands:  but  ^Da'vid 
and  his  men  passed  on  in  the 
rearward  with  ^A'chish. 

3  Then  said  the  princes  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  What  do  these 
''He'brews  lieret  And  ''A'chish 
said  unto  the  princes  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tines,  I,s  not  this  ^Da'vid,  the 
servant  of  Saul  the  king  of  Ls'- 
ra-el,  which  hath  been  with  me 
these  days,  or  these  years,  and  I 
have  found  no  fault  in  him  since 
he  fell  unto  me  unto  this  day  ? 

4  And  the  princes  of  the  "Phi- 
lis'tines  were  wroth  with  him; 
and  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lTs'- 
tines  said  unto  him,  ^Make  this 
fellow  return,  that  he  may  go 
again  to  his  place  which  thou 
ha.st  appointed  him,  and  let  him 
not  go  down  with  us  to  battle, 
lest  in  the  battle  he  be  an  ad- 
versary to  us:  for  wherewith 
should  he  reconcile  himself  unto 
his  master  ?  should,  it  not  he  with 
the  heads  of  these  men  ? 

5  Is  not  this  ^Da'vid,  of  whom 
they  sang  one  to  another  in 
dances,  saying,   'Saul  slew  his

6  T[  Then  "A'chish  called  ^Da'- 
vid,  and  said  unto  him,  Surely, 
as  the  Lord  liveth,  thou  hast 
been  upright,  and  thy  going  out 
and  thy  coming  in  with  me  in  the 
host  is  good  in  my  sight:  for  I 
have  not  found  evil  in  thee  since 
the  day  of  thy  coming  unto  me 
unto  this  day:  ^nevertheless  the 
lords  favour  thee  not. 

7  'Wherefore  now  return,  and 
go  in  peace,  that  thou  displease 
not  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

8  And  ^Da'vid  said  unto  "A'- 
chish.  But  what  have  I  done  ? 
and  what  hast  thou  found  in  thy 
servant  so  long  as  I  have  been 
with  thee  unto  this  day,  that  I 
may  not  go  fight  against  the  ene- 
mies of  my  lord  the  king  ? 

9  And  "A'chish  answered  and 
said  to  ^Da'vid,  I  know  that  thou 
artgood  in  my  sight,  as  an  angel  of 
God:  notwithstanding  the  princes 
of  the^Phi-lis'tines  have  'said,  He 
shall  not  go  up  with  us  to  the 
battle. 

10  Wherefore  now  rise  up  early 
in  the  morning  with  thy  master's 
servants  that  are  come  with  thee: 
and  as  soon  as  ye  be  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  have  light,  depart. 

11  So  'Da'vid  and  iiis  men  rase 
up  early  to  depart  in  the  morn- 
ing, to  return  into  the  land  of  the 
Phi-lis'tine.s.  And  the  Phi-lTs'- 
tines  went  up  to  ^Jez/re-el.

come  to  *Zik'lag  on  the  third 


A' 


day,  that  the  ""Am'a-lek-ites  had 
invaded  the  south,  and  Zik'lag, 
antl  smitten  Zik'lilg,  and  burned 
it  with  fire: 

2  And  had  taken  the  women 
*captives,  that  were  therein: 
they  slew  not  any,  either  great  or 
small,  but  carried  them  away, 
and  went  on  their  way, 

3  So  ''Da'vid  and  his  men  came 
to  the  city,  and,  behold,  it  wm 
burned  with  fire;  and  their 
wives,  and  their  sons,  and  their 
daughters,  were  taken  *captives. 

4  Then  Da'vid  and  the  people 
that  were  with  him  lifted  up 
their  voice  and  "^wept,  until  they 
had  no  more  power  to  weep. 

5  And  Da'vid's  ''two  wives  were 
taken  captives,  'A-hin'o-am  the 
Jez're-el-It-ess,  and  ^Ab'i-gail 
the  wife  of  Na'bal  the  Cilr'- 
mel-ite. 

6  And  Da'vid  was  greatly  ('is- 
tressed;  for  the  people  spake  of 
^stoning  him,  because  the  soul 
of  all  the  people  was  '^grieved, 
every  man  for  his  sons  and  for 
his  daughters:  but  Da'vid  en- 
couraged himself  in  the  Lord 
his  (iod. 

7  And  "Da'vid  said  to  ''A-bl'a- 
thar  the  Spriest,  ^A-him'e-lech's 
son,  I  pray  thee,  ])ring  me  hither 
the  \^phod.  And  A-bi'a-thar 
brought  thither  the  ephod  to 
Da'vid. 

8  And  ''Da'vid  'enquired  at  the 
Lord,  sajnng.  Shall  I  pursue 
after  this  troop  ?  shall  I  overtake 
them  ?  And  he  '"answered  him, 
Pursue:  for  thou  shalt  surely 
overtake  them,  and  without  fail 
recover  all. 

9  So  "Da'vid  went,  he  and  the 
six  hundred  men  that  were  with  '

him,  and  came  to  the  "brook 
Be'sor,  where  those  that  were 
left  behind  stayed. 

10  But  "Da'vid  pursued,  he  and 
four  hundred  men :  for  two  hun- 
dred abode  behind,  which  were 
so  faint  that  they  could  not  go 
over  the  "brook  Be'sor. 

11  ^  And  they  found  an  E-gyp'- 
tian  in  the  field,  and  brought 
him  to  "Da'vid,  and  gave  him 
bread,  and  he  did  eat;  and  they 
made  him  drink  water; 

12  And  they  gave  him  a  piece  of 
a  "cake  of  ^figs,  and  two  clusters 
of  'raisins:  and  when  he  had 
eaten,  his  spirit  came  again  to 
him:  for  he  had  ''eaten  no  bread, 
nor  drunk  ani/  water,  three  days 
and  three  nights. 

13  And  "Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
To  whom  hchnigcd  thou  ?  and 
whence  art  thou  ?  x\nd  he  said, 
I  am  a  young  man  of  E'gypt, 
servant  to  an  Am'a-lek-Ite;  and 
my  master  *left  me,  because 
three  days  agone  I  fell  sick. 

14  '^We  maile  an  invasion  uj)on 
the  south  of  the  ■^Chor'e-thites, 
and  upon  the  coast  which  hc- 
lonrjcth  to  Mu'dah,  and  upon  the 
south  of  Ca'leb;  and  we  burned 
"Zik'lag  with  fire. 

15  And  Da'vid  said  to  him, 
Canst  thou  bring  me  down  to 
this  company  ?  And  he  said, 
"Swear  unto  me  by  God,  that 
thou  wilt  neither  kill  me,  nor 
deliver  me  into  the  hands  of  my 
master,  and  ^I  will  Ijring  thee 
down  to  this  '^company. 

16  And  when  he  had  brought 
him  down,  behold,  thetj  were 
spread  abroad  upon  all  the 
earth,  eating  and  drinking,  and 
'"dancing,  because  of  all  the 
great  ^spoil  that  they  had  taken 


out  of  the  land  of  the  ^Phi-lTs'- 
tines,  and  out  of  the  land  of 
'Ju'dah. 

17  And  "Da'vid  smote  them 
from  the  twilight  even  unto  the 
evening  of  the  next  day:  and 
there  escaped  not  a  man  of  them, 
save  four  hundred  young  men, 
^which  rotie  upon  "camels,  and 
fled. 

18  And  "Da'vid  recovered  all 
that  the  Am'a-lek-Ites  had  car- 
ried away:  and  Da'vid  rescued 
his  ''two  wives. 

19  And  there  was  nothing  lack- 
ing to  them,  neither  small  nor 
great,  neither  sons  nor  daugh- 
ters, neither  '"spoil,  nor  any  thing 
that  they  had  taken  to  them: 
Da'vid  recovered  all. 

20  And  ° Da'vid  took  all  the 
flocks  and  the  herds,  which  they 
drave  before  those  other  cattle, 
and  said.  This  is  Da'vid's  '^spoil. 

21  t  And  "Da'vid  came  to  the 
two  hundred  men,  which  were  so 
faint  that  they  could  not  follow 
Da'vid,  whom  they  had  made  al- 
so to  abide  at  the  ''brook  Be'sor: 
and  they  went  forth  to  meet  Da'- 
vid, and  to  meet  the  people  that 
xocre  with  him:  and  when  Da'- 
vid came  near  to  the  people,  he 
''saluted  them. 

22  Then  answered  all  the  wick- 
ed men  and  men.  of  Be'li-al,  of 
those  that  went  with  Da'vid,  and 
said.  Because  they  went  not  with 
us,  we  will  not  give  them  ought 
of  the  ''spoil  that  we  have  recov- 
ered, save  to  every  man  his  wife 
and  his  children,  that  they  may 
lead  them  away,  and  depart. 

23  Then  said  '^Da'vid,  Ye  shall 
not  do  so,  my  brethren,  with  that 
which  the  Lord  hath  given  us, 
who  hath  ''preserved  us,  and  de-

CHAPTER  31 

Saul's  arm;/  defeated.  2  Ills  sons  slain. 
4  lie  and  his  nrmnr-hearer  kill  thrinsrlrrs. 
7  The  Philistines  possess  the  forsaken 
towns  of  the  Israelites.  8  Thei/  triumph 
over  the  dead  bodies  of  Saul  and  his  sons. 
11  The  men  of  .lahesh-Qilend  recover  the 
bodies  hii  night,  hum  them,  and  hury  their 
bones  at  ,Jahesh. 

NOW  the  "^Phi-lis'tines  fought 
against  ''Ts'ra-ei:  and  the 
men  of  Ls'ra-el  fled  from  before 
the  Phi-lTs'tine.s,  and   fell   down 
slain  in  mount  '^(r-l-bo'a. 
2   And    the    '^PhT-lTs'tines    fol- 


lowed hard  upon  ''Saul  and  upon 
his  sons ;  and  the  Phi-lis'tine.s  slew 
'^Jon'a-than,  and  *A-l)in'a-dab, 
and  'Mcrchi-shii'a,  Saul's  sons. 

3  And  the  battle  went  sore 
against  Saul,  and  the  ^arch- 
ers 4iit  him;  and  he  was  '^sore 
wounded  of  the  archers. 

4  Then  said  Saul  untt)  his  ''ar- 
mourbearer,  Draw  thy  sword, 
and  thrust  me  through  there- 
with; lest  these  "uncircumcised 
come  and  'thrust  me  through, 
and  al)use  me.  But  his  armour- 
bearer  would  not,  for  he  was 
sore  afraid.  Therefore  Saul  took 
a  sword,  and  ^fell  upon  it. 

5  And  when  his  ''armourbearer 
saw  that  Saul  was  dead,  he  ^fell 
likewise  upon  his  sword,  and 
died  with  him. 

6  So  ''Saul  died,  and  his  three 
*-'^"'sons,  and  his  ''arniourl)earer, 
and  all  his  men,  that  same  day 
together. 

7  T[  And  when  the  men  of  "Is'- 
ra-el  that  were  on  the  other  side 
of  the  valley,  and  then  ^^^^  were 
on  the  other  side  '■  Jor'dan,  saw 
that  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  fled,  and 
that  ''Saul  and  his  sons  were 
dead,  they  forsook  the  cities,  and 
fled;  and  the  '^Phi-lis'tines  came 
and  dwelt  in  them. 

8  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  when  the  Phi-hs'tines 
came  to  'strip  the  slain,  that  they 
found  Saul  and  his  three  sons 
fallen  in  mount  "'(jil-lxl'a. 

9  And  they  cut  off  his  "head, 
and  stripped  off  his  armour,  and 
sent  into  the  land  of  the  PhT-lTs'- 
tines  round  about,'  to  publish  it 
in  the  hou.se  of  their  "idols,  and 
among  the  people. 

10  And  they  put  his  "armour  in 
the  Phouse  of  «Ash'ta-roth :  and 
they  fastened  his  body  to  the 
^vall  of  'Beth'-shan.

CHAPTER  1 

An  Arnalcklte,  bringing  tidings  of  the  over- 
throw of  the  Israelites,  and  claiming  to 
have  slain  Saul,  is  put  to  death.  17  Da- 
vid's lamentation  over  Saul  and  Jonathan. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  after 
the  tleath  of  "Saul,  when 
''Da'vid  was  returned  from  the 
slaughter  of  the  "^Ara'a-iek-ites, 
and  Da'vid  had  abode  two  days 
in  ''Zik'lag; 

2  It  came  even  to  pass  on  the 
third  day,  that,  behold,  a  man 
came  out  of  the  camp  from  Saul 
with  his  clothes  *'rent,  and  ^earth 
upon  his  head:  and  so  it  was, 
when  he  came  to  ''Da'vid,  that 
he  fell  to  the  earth,  and  did 
obeisance. 

3  And  ''Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
From  whence  comest  thou  ? 
And  he  said  unto  him,  Out  of  the 
camp  of  ''Ls'ra-el  am  I  escaped. 

4  And  ''Da'vid  said  unto  him. 
How  went  the  matter  ?  I  pray 
thee,  tell  me.  And  he  answered. 
That  the  people  are  fled  from  the 
battle,  and  many  of  the  people 
also  are  fallen  and  ''dead;  and 
"Saul  and  *J6n'a-than  his  son 
are  dead  also. 

5  And  ''Da'vid  said  unto  the 
young  man  that  told  him,  How 
knowest  thou  that  "Saul  and 
*J6n'a-than  his  son  be  dead  ? 

6  And  the  young  man  that 
told  him  said.  As  I  happened  by 
chance   upon   mount   'Gil-bo'a, 


behold,  Saul  leaned  upon  his 
''spear;  and,  lo,  the  chariots  and 
horsemen  followed  hard  after 
him. 

7  And  when  he  looked  behind 
him,  he  saw  me,  and  called  unto 
me.  And  I  answered.  Here  am  I. 

8  And  he  said  unto  me.  Who 
art  thou  ?  And  I  answered  him, 
I  a)7i  an  Am'a-lek-ite. 

9  He  said  unto  me  again,  Stand, 
I  pray  thee,  upon  me,  and  slay 
me:  for  anguish  is  come  upon 
me,  because  my  life  is*  yet  whole 
in  me. 

10  So  I  stood  upon  him,  and 
*slew  him,  because  I  was  sure 
that  he  could  not  live  after  that 
he  was  fallen:  and  I  took  the 
'crown  that  was  upon  his  head, 
and  the  '"bracelet  that  was  on 
his  arm,  and  have  brought  them 
hither  unto  my  lord. 

11  Then  "Da'vid  took  hold  on 
his  clothes,  and  ^rent  them;  and 
likewise  all  the  men  that  were 
with  him: 

12  And  they  "mourned,  and 
wept,  and  "fasted  until  even,  for 
"Saul,  and  for  ^Jon'a-than  his 
son,  and  for  the  people  of  the 
Lord,  and  for  the  house  of  I.s'- 
ra-el;  because  they  were  fallen 
by  the  sword. 

13  Tf  And  "Da'vid  said  unto 
the  young  man  that  told  him, 
Whence    art    thou  ?     And     he

14  And  '■''Da'vid  said  unto 
him,  *How  wast  thou  not  afraid 
to  stretch  forth  thine  hand  to 
destroy  the  Lord's  anointed  ? 

15  And  *Da'vid  called  one  of 
the  young  men,  and  said,  Go 
near,  and  fall  upon  him.  And 
he  'smote  him  that  he  "died. 

16  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
Thy  '^blood  he  upon  thy  head; 
for  "thy  mouth  hatli  testified 
against  thee,  saying,  I  have 
*slain  the  Lord's  anointed. 

17  t  And  Da'vid  ^•2'' ^lamented 
with  this  "lamentation  over  "Saul 
and  over  ''Jon'a-than  his  son: 

18  (Also  he  bade  them  teach 
the  children  of  Ju'dah  tlie  hise  of 
the  ^bow:  behold,  it  is  written 
in  the  '^book  of  Ja'sher.) 

19  "'^'^The  beauty  of  Ls'ra-el  is 
slain  upon  thy  high  places:  how 
are  the  mighty  fallen! 

20  Tell  it  not  in  ''Gath,  pub- 
lish it  not  in  the  streets  of  ''As'- 
ke-l6n ;  lest  the  daughters  of  the 
'PhT-hs'tines  rejoice,  lest  the 
daughters  of  the  uncircumcised 
triumph. 

21  Ye  mountains  of  ^(Til-bo'a, 
let  there  be  no  dew,  neither  let 
there  he  ■'■rain,  upon  you,  nor 
fields  of  offerings:  for  there  the 
*^shield  of  the  mighty  is  vilely 
cast  away,  the  shield  of  ''Saul, 
"^as  thmigh  he  had  not  been 
'anointed  with  oil. 

22  From  the  blood  of  the  slain, 
from  the  fat  of  the  mighty,  tli'' 
^bow  of  '^JSn'a-than  turned  not 
back,  and  the  sword  of  *Saul 
returned  not  empty. 


2o  ''Saul  and  "JSn'a-than  were 
lovely  and  pleasant  in  their  lives, 
and  in  their  '"death  they  were 
not  divided:  they  were  swifter 
than  eagles,  they  were  stronger 
than  lions.

'Hveep  over  "Saul,  who  clothed 
you  in  "scarlet,  ^with  otJter  de- 
lights, who  put  on  ornaments  of 
gold  upon  your  apparel. 

25  "How  are  the  mighty  fallen 
in  the  midst  of  the  battle!  O 
Jon'a-than,  thou  wast  slain  in 
thine  high  places. 

26  "I  am  distressed  for  thee,  my 
brother  Jon'a-than:  very  pleas- 
ant hast  thou  been  unto  me: 
thy  ''love  to  me  was  wonderful, 
passing  the  love  of  women. 

27  How  are  the  mighty  fallen, 
and  the  weapons  of  war  per- 
ished!

3  And  his  men  that  were  with 
him  did  "Da''vid  bring  up,  every 
man  with  his  household:  and 
they  dwelt  in  the  cities  of  "^He'- 
bron. 

4  And  the  men  of  '^Ju'dah 
came,  and  there  they  Anointed 
'^Da'vid  %ing  over  the  house  of 
Ju'dah.  x\nd  they  told  Da'vid, 
saying,  That  the  men  of  *Ja'- 
besh-gi]'e-3,d  were  they  that 
buried  'Saul. 

5  T[  And  "Da'vid  sent  messen- 
gers unto  the  men  of  ^Ja'besh- 
gil'e-ad,  and  said  unto  them, 
"'•"Blessed  he  ye  of  the  IvORD, 
that  ye  have  shewed  this  kind- 
ness unto  your  lord,  even  unto 
Saul,  and  have  burled  him. 

6  "And  now  the  Lord  shew 
kindness  and  ^truth  unto  you: 
and  '"I  also  will  requite  you  this 
kindness,  because  ye  have  done 
this  thing. 

7  Therefore  now  let  your  hands 
be  strengthened,  and  be  ye  val- 
iant: for  your  master  'Saul  is 
dead,  and  also  the  house  of 
'"Ju'dah  have  ^anointed  me  %ing 
over  them. 

8  Tf  But  "Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner, 
'■•^captain  of  Saul's  host,  took 
*Ish-bo'sheth  the  son  of  Saul, 
and  brought  him  over  to  'Ma- 
ha-na'im; 

9  And  made  him  king  over 
"Gire-S,d,  and  over  the  "Ash'ur- 
Ites,  and  over  '"Jez're-el,  and 
over  ^E'phrS,-im,  and 
^Ben'ja-min,  and  over  all 
ra-el. 

10  Ish-bo'sheth  Saul's  son 
was  forty  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign  over  Is 'ra-el, 
and  reigned  two  years.  But 
the  house  of  "^Ju'dah  followed 
"Da'vid. 

11  And  the  time  that  Da'vid 


over 
^Is'- 


was  king  in  '^He'bron  over  the 
house  of  Ju'dah  was  seven  years 
and  six  months. 

12  ^  And  '^Ab'ner  the  son  of 
Ner,  and  the  servants  of  *Tsh- 
bo'sheth  the  son  of  ^Saul,  went 
out  from  ''Ma'ha-na'im  to  ^Gib'- 
e-on. 

13  And  ''Jo'ab  the  son  of  ^Zer- 
u-l'ah,  and  the  servants  of  ''Da'- 
vid, went  out,  and  met  together 
by  the  ^pool  of  Gib'e-on:  and 
they  sat  down,  the  one  on  the 
one  side  of  the  pool,  and  the 
other  on  the  other  side  of  the 
pool. 

14  And  '^Ab'ner  said  to  ''Jo'ab, 
^Let  the  young  men  now  arise, 
and  play  before  us.  And  Jo'ab 
said.  Let  them  arise. 

15  Then  there  arose  and  went 
over  by  number  twelve  ^of 
*Ben'ja-niin,  %hich  pertained  to 
*Ish-bo'sheth  the  son  of  ''Saul, 
and  twelve  of  the  servants  of 
"Da'vid. 

16  And  they  caught  every  one 
his  fellow  by  the  head,  and 
thrust  his  sword  in  his  fellow's 
side;  so  they  fell  down  together: 
wherefore  that  place  was  called 
Ilel'kath-haz'zu-rim,  which  is 
in   Gib'e-on. 

17  And  there  was  a  very  sore 
'battle  that  day;  and  ''Ab'ner 
was  beaten,  and  the  men  of 
Is'ra-el,  before  the  servants  of

18  T[  And  there  were  three  sons 
of  'Zer-u-i'ah  there,  ''Jo'ab,  and

him,  and  said,  Art  thou  ^A'sa- 
hel  ?     And  he  answered,  I  am. 

21  And  '^Ab'ner  said  to  him, 
Turn  thee  aside  to  thy  right 
hand  or  to  thy  left,  and  lay  thee 
hold  on  one  of  the  young  men, 
and  take  thee  his  armour,  But 
^A'sa-hel  would  not  turn  aside 
from  following  him. 

22  And  '^Ab'ner  said  again  to 
^A'sa-hel,  Turn  thee  aside  from 
following  me:  wherefore  should 
I  smite  thee  to  the  ground  ?  how 
then  should  I  hokl  up  my  face  to 
Jo'ab  thy  brother  ? 

23  Plowbeit  he  refused  to  turn 
aside:  wherefore  '^Ab'ner  w'th 
the  hinder  end  of  the  spear 
smote  him  ^under  the  fifth  i-ib, 
that  the  spear  came  out  behind 
him;  and  he  fell  down  there,  and 
died  in  the  same  place:  and  it 
came  to  pass,  that  as  many  as 
came  to  the  place  Avhere  A'sa- 
hel  fell  down  and  died  stood  still. 

24  ''Jo'ab  also  and  '"A-bish'a-I 
pursued  after  '^Ab'ner:  and  the 
sun  went  down  when  they  were 
come  to  the  hill  of  x\m'mah,  that 
licth  before  Ol'ah  by  the  way  of 
the  wilderness  of  ^Gib'e-on. 

25  If  And  the  children  of  ^BCn'- 
ja-min  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether after  ''Ab'ner,  and  be- 
came one  troop,  and  stood  on 
the  top  of  an  hill, 

26  Then  ''Ab'ner  called  to  ^Jo'- 
ab,  and  said,  "Shall  the  sword 
devour  for  ever  ?  knowcst  thou 
not  that  it  will  be  bitterness  in 
the  latter  end  ?  how  long  shall  it 
be  then,  ere  thou  bid  the  peo- 
ple return  from  following  their 
brethren  ? 

27  And  '^Ja'ab  said.  As  God 
liveth,  unless  thou  hadst  spoken, 
surely  then  in  the  morning  the 
people  had  gone  up  every  one 
from  followintj  his  brother. 


28  So  ''Jo'ab  blew  a  ^trumpet, 
and  all  the  ''people  stood  still, 
and  pursued  after  Is'ra-el  no 
more,  neither  fought  they  any 
more. 

29  And  Ab'ner  and  his  men 
walked  all  that  night  through  the 
plain,  and  passed  over  Mor'dan, 
and  went  through  all  Bith'ron, 
and  they  came  to  'Ma-ha-na'im. 

30  And  ''Jo'ab  returned  from 
following  '^Ab'ner:  and  when 
he  had  gathered  all  the  people 
together,  there  lacked  of  *Da'- 
vid's  servants  nineteen  men  and 
tA'sa-hel. 

31  But  the  servants  of  Da'vid 
had  smitten  of  ''Ben'ja-min,  and 
of  '^Ab'ner's  men,  so  that  three 
hundred  and  threescore  men 
(lied. 

32  T[  And  they  took  up  ^A'sa- 
hel,  and  ^buried  him  in  the  sep- 
ulchre of  his  father,  which  was 
in  'Beth'-le-hem.  And  Jo'al) 
and  his  men  went  all  night,  and 
they  came  to  "He'bron  at  break 
of  day.

4  And  the  fourth,  *Ad-o-nl'jah 
the  son  of  'Hag'gith;  and  the 
fifth,  '"Sheph-a-ti'ah  the  son  of 
'"Ab'i-tal; 

5  And  the  sixth,  "'Ith're-am,  by 
'"Eg'lah  '^Da'vid's  wife.  These 
were  born  to  Da'vid  in  '^He'- 
bron. 

6  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
there  was  "war  between  the 
house  of  ''Saul  and  the  house  of 
'^Da'vid,  that  '^Ab'ner  made  him- 
self strong  for  the  house  of  Saul. 

7  And  Saul  had  a  "concubine, 
whose  name  was  ^Riz'pah,  the 
daughter  of  ^A-i'ah:  and  '^Ish- 
ho'shcih  said  to  "Ab'ner,  Where- 
fore hast  thou  gone  in  unto  my 
father's  concubine  ? 

8  Then  was  '^Ab'ner  very 
''wroth  for  the  words  of  *Ish- 
bo'sheth,  and  said,  'Am  I  a 
'dog's  head,  'which  against  Ju'- 
dah  do  shew  kindness  this  day 
unto  the  house  of  ''Saul  thy 
father,  to  his  brethren,  and  to  his 
friends,  and  have  not  delivered 
thee  into  the  hand  of  '^Da'vid, 
that  thou  chargest  me  to  day 
with  a  fault  concerning  this 
woman  ? 

9  "So  do  God  to  Ab'ncr,  and 
more  also,  except,  as  the  IiORr> 
hath  ''sworn  to  Da'vid,  even  so  I 
do  to  him; 

10  To  translate  the  kingdom 
from  the  house  of  ''Saul,  and  to 
set  up  the  throne  o*  Da'vid  over 
'"Is'ra-el  and  over  Ju'dah,  from 
^Dan  even  to  ^Be'er-she'ba. 

11  And  he  could  not  answer 
"Ab'ner  a  word  again,  because 
he  feared  him. 

12  ^  And  "Ab'ner  sent  messen- 
gers to  Da'vid  on  his  behalf,  say- 
ing. Whose  IS  the  land  ?  saying 
also.  Make  thy  ^league  with  me, 


and,  behold,  my  hand  shall  be 
with  thee,  to  bring  about  all 
Ls'ra-el  unto  thee, 

13  And  he  said.  Well;  I  will 
make  a  ^league  with  thee;  but 
one  thing  I  require  of  thee,  that 
is.  Thou  shalt  not  see  my  face, 
except  thou  first  bring  "Mi'chal 
Saul's  daughter,  when  thou  coin- 
est  to  see  my  face. 

14  And  ''Da'vid  sent  messen- 
gers to  ''Ish-bo'sheth  ''Saul's 
son,  saying,  Deliver  Trie  my  ^wife 
"Mi'chai,  which  I  espoused  to 
nie  for  an  hundred  foreskins  of 
the  -Tln-lis'tines. 

1-5  x\nd  '^Ish-bo'sheth  sent,  and 
took  her  from  her  husband, 
even  from  ^Phal'ti-el  the  son  of 
^La'ish. 

16  And  her  husband  went  with 
her  along  weeping  behind  her  to 
■'^Ba-hu'rim.  Then  said  ^Ab'ner 
unto  him.  Go,  return.  And  he 
returned. 

17  Tl  And  ''Ab'ner  %ad  com- 
munication with  the  ^elders  of 
I.s'ra-el,  saying,  Ye  sought  for 
"Da'vid  in  times  past  to  he  ^king 
over  you : 

18  Now  then  do  it:  for  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  of  Da'vid, 
saying.  By  the  hand  of  my  serv- 
ant Da'vid  I  will  'save  my  peo- 
ple Is'ra-el  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  ''Phi-hs'tmes,  and  out  of 
the  hand  of  all  their  enemies. 

19  And  '^Ab'ner  also  'spake  in 
the  ears  of  '"Ben'ja-min:  and 
Ab'ncr  went  also  to  speak  in  the 
ears  of  ''Da'vid  in  "He'bron  all 
that  seemed  good  to  Is'ra-el,  and 
that  seemed  good  to  the  whole 
house  of  Ben'ja-min. 

20  So  ^\b'ner  came  to  Da'vid 
to  "He'bron,  and  twenty  men 
with  him.  And  "Da'vid  made

21  And  Ab'ner  'said  unto  Da'- 
vid,  I  will  arise  and  go,  and  will 
gather  all  Ls'ra-el  unto  my  lord 
the  king,  thai  they  may  make  a 
''league  with  thee,  and  that  thou 
mayest  reign  over  all  that  thine 
heart  desireth.  And  Da'vid  sent 
Ab^ier  away;  and  he  went  in 
peace. 

22  ^  And,  behold,  the  servants 
of  ''Da'vid  and  ^Jo'ab  came 
from  "^pursuing  a  troop,  and 
brought  in  a  great  ''spoil  with 
them :  but  ''Ab'ner  icas  not  with 
Da'vid  in  "^He'bron;  for  he  had 
sent  him  away,  and  he  was  gone 
in  peace. 

23  When  ^Jo'ab  and  all  the 
host  that  was  with  him  were 
come,  *ihey  told  Jo'ab,  saying, 
Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner  came  to 
the  king,  and  he  hath  sent  him 
away,  and  he  is  gone  in  peace. 

24  ^Then  Jo'ab  came  to  the 
king,  and  said,  What  hast  thou 
done  ?  behold,  Ab'ner  came  un- 
to thee;  why  is  it  that  thou  hast 
sent  him  away,  and  he  is  quite 
gone  ? 

25  "Thou  know  est  Ab'ner  the 
gon  of  Ner,  that  he  came  to  de- 
ceive thee,  and  to  know  thy  go- 
ing out  and  thy  coming  in,  and 
to  know  all  that  thou  doe?t, 

26  And  when  ''Jo'ab  v\^as  come 
out  from  *Da'vid,  he  sent  mes- 
sengers after  ''Ab'ner,  which 
brought  him  again  from  the  well 
of  Si'rah*  but  Da'vid  knew  it 
not. 

27  And  when  Ab'ner  was  re- 
turned to  "He'bron,  "Jo'ab  took 
him  aside  in  the  gate  to  "speak 
Avith  him  quietly,  and  '"•  *•  -'smote 
liim  there  'Hinder  th(>  fifth  rib, 
that  he  died,  ^for  the  blood  of 
"A'sa-hel  his  brother. 


28  Tl  And  afterward  when  *  Da'- 
vid heard  it,  he  '^said,  I  and  iny 
kingdom  are  guiltless  before  the 
Loud  for  ever  from  the  blood  of 
''Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner: 

29  '^Let  it  rest  on  the  head  of 
'^ Jo'ab,  and  on  all  his  father's 
house;  and  let  there  not  fail 
from  the  house  of  Jo'ab  one  that 
hath  an  issue,  or  that  is  a  leper, 
or  that  leaneth  on  a  staff,  or  that 
falleth  on  the  sword,  or  that 
lacketh  bread. 

30  So  ^' Jo'ab  and  "A  bish'a-i 
his  brother  slew  '^Ab'ner,  'be- 
cause he  had  slain  their  brother 
"A'sa-hcl  at  ''Gib'e-on  in  the 
battle. 

31  Tf  ^And  ''Da'vid  said  to  Md'- 
itb,  and  to  all  the  people  that 
were  with  him,  ''Rend  your 
clothes,  and  gird  you  with  sack- 
cloth, and  hnourn  before  ''Ab'- 
ner. And  king  Da'vid  Inmsel] 
followed  the  ^bier. 

32  And  they  '^buried  ''A.b'ner  in 
'He'bron:  and  the  king  lifted 
up  his  voice,  and  '"wept  at  the 
^grave  of  Ab'ner;  and  all  the 
people  wept. 

33  And  the  king  'lamented  over 
Ab'ner,  and  said,  "  '^ Died  Ab'ner 
as  a  fool  dieth  ? 

34  ''•^hy  hands  were  not 
bound,  nor  thy  ''feet  put  into 
^fetters:  as  a  man  falleth  be- 
fore wicked  men,  so  fellest  thou. 
And  all  the  people  '^'wept  again 
over  him. 

35  And  when  all  the  people 
came  to  cause  Da'vid  to  eat 
meat  while  it  was  yet  day,  Da' 
vid  'sware,  saying.  So  do  God

whatsoever  the  king  did  pleased 
all  the  people. 

37  For  all  the  people  and  all 
'Is'ra-el  understood  that  day 
that  it  was  not  of  the  king  to  slay 
'^Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner. 

38  And  the  king  said  unto  his 
servants,  Know  ye  not  that  there 
is  a  prince  and  a  great  man 
fallen  this  day  in  Is'ra-el  ? 

39  And  I  am  this  day  weak, 
though  anointed  king;  and  these 
men  the  sons  of  "Zer-ii-I'ah  he 
too  hard  for  me:  the  Lord  shall 
''reward  the  doer  of  evil  accord- 
ing to  his  wickedness. 

CHAPTER  4 

The  Israelites  being  troubled  at  the  death  of 
Abner,  2  Baanah  and  Rechab  slay  Ish- 
bosheth,  and  bring  his  head  to  Hebron. 
9  David  causes  them  to  be  slain,  and  Ish- 
bosheth's  head  to  be  buried. 

AND  when  "Saul's  ''son  heard 
that  '^Ab'ner  was  dead  in 
"He'bron,  his  hands  were  feeble, 
and  all  the  I.§'ra-el-itey  were 
troubled. 

2  And  Saul's  son  had  two  men 
that  were  captains  of  bands:  the 
name  of  the  one  tva,s  Ba'a-nah, 
and  the  name  of  the  other  Re'- 
chab,  the  sons  of  Rim'mon  a 
Be-e'roth-Ite,  of  the  children  of 
'^Ben'ja-min :  (for  ^Be-c'roth  also 
was  reckoned  to  Ben'ja-mm. 

3  And  the  Be-e'roth-Ites  fled  to 
^Git'ta-im,  and  Avere  sojourners 
there  until  this  day.) 

4  And  ''Jon'a-than,  "Saul's  son, 
had  a  son  that  was  lame  of  hii 

feet.  He  was  five  years  old 
when  the  tidings  came  of  Saul 
and  Jon'a-than  out  of  Mez're-el, 
and  his  ^nurse  took  him  up,  and 
fled:  and  it  came  to  pass,  as  she 
made  haste  to  flee,  that  he  fell, 
and  became  lame.  And  his  name 
was  '^Me-phib'o-sheth. 

5  Tl  And  the  sons  of  Rim'mon 


the  Be-e'roth-ite,  Re'chS,b  and 
Ba'a-nah,  went,  and  came  about 
the  heat  of  the  day  to  the  house 
of  "Ish-bo'sheth,  who  lay  on  a 
bed  at  noon. 

6  And  they  came  thither  into 
the  midst  of  the  house,  as  though 
they  would  have  fetched  wheat; 
and  they  ^'"'' "smote  him  'under 
the  fifth  rib:  and  Re'chab  and 
Ba'a-nah  his  brother  escaped. 

7  For  when  they  came  into  the 
house,  he  lay  on  his  bed  in  his 
bedchamber,  and  they  smote 
him,  and  slew  him,  and  be- 
headed him,  and  took  his  head, 
and  gat  them  away  through 
the  ^plain   all  night. 

8  And  they  brought  the  head  of 
"Ish-bo'sheth  unto  "Da'vid  to 
'^He'bron,  and  said  to  the  king, 
Behold  the  head  of  Ish-bo'sheth 
the  son  of  "Saul  thine  enemy, 
which  sought  thy  life;  and  the 
Lord  hath  avenged  my  lord  the 
king  this  day  of  Saul,  and  of  his 
seed. 

9  Tl  ''And  Da'vid  answered  Re'- 
chab and  Ba'a-nah  his  brother, 
the  sons  of  Rim'mon  the  Be-e'- 
roth-ite,  and  said  unto  them.  As 
the  Lord  liveth,  who  hath  re- 
deemed my  soul  out  of  all  ad- 
versity, 

10  When  one  told  me,  saying. 
Behold,  Saul  is  dead,  thinking 
to  have  brought  good  tidings,  I 
took  hold  of  him,  and  slew  him 
in  Zik'lag,  ^who  thought  that  I 
would  have  given  him  a  reward 
for  his  tidings : 

11  How  much  more,  when 
wicked  men  have  slain  a  right- 
eous person  in  his  own  house  up- 
on his  bed  ?  shall  I  not  therefore 
now  require  his  blood  of  your 
hand,  and  take  you  away  fi-om 
the  earth  ?

But  they  took  the  head  of  Ish- 
bo'sheth,  and  buried  it  in  the 
sepulchre  of  Ab'ner  in  He'bron. 

CHAPTER  5 

The  tribes  come  to  Hebron  to  anoint  David 
king  over  Israel.  4  His  age.  6  Ho 
takes  Zlon  from  the  .>ebusltes  and  dwells 
in  it.  11  Hiram  sends  to  David.  14 
Eleven  sons  are  born  to  David  In  Jerusa- 
lem. 17  He  smites  the  Philistines  at  Baal- 
perazim,  22  and  again  at  the  mulberry 
trees. 

THEN  came  all  the  tribes 
of  ''I.s'ra-el  to  "Da'vid  unto 
"^He'bron,  and  spake,  saying, 
Behold,  we  are  thy  bone  and 
thy  flesh. 

2  Also  in  time  past,  when  ''Saul 
was  king  over  us,  thou  wast  he 
that  leddest  out  and  broughtest 
in  I.s'ra-el:  and  the  Lord  said  to 
thee,  Thou  shalt  feed  my  people 
I§'ra-el,  and  thou  shalt  be  a  cap- 
tain over  I.s'ra-el. 

3  So  all  the  ^elders  of  Is'ra-el 
came  to  the  king  to  "He'bron; 
and  king  "Da'vid  ''made  a  league 
with  them  in  He'bron  before  the 
Lord:  and  they  Anointed  Da'- 
vid  ''•'king  over  Is'ra-el. 

4  *Da'vid  was  thirty  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  atul  he 
reigned  forty  years. 

5  In  "^He'bron  he  reigned  over 
'Ju'dah  seven  years  and  six 
months:  and  in  ^'Je-ni'sa-lem  he 
reigned  thirty  and  three  years 
over  all  ''Ls'ra-el  and  Ju'dah. 

6  1  And  the  "-"king  and  his 
men  went  to  '^Je-rii'sa-lem  'unto 
the  'Jeb'u-sltes,  the  inhabitants 


of  the  land:  which  spake  unto 
Da'vid,  saying,  Except  thou  take 
away  the  '"blind  and  the  ''lame, 
thou  shalt  not  come  in  hither: 
thinking,  Da'vid  cannot  come  in 
hither. 

7  Nevertheless  Da'vid  took  the 
strong  hold  of  *Zi'6n :  the  same 
is   the  '^city  of   Da'vid. 

8  And  ''Da'vid  said  on  that  day, 
Whosoever  ^getteth  up  to  the 
gutter,  and  smiteth  the  'Jeb'u- 
sTtes,  and  the  "lame  and  the 
'"blind,  that  are  hated  of  Dav'id's 
soul,  he  shall  be  chief  and  cap- 
tain. ^Wherefore  they  said.  The 
blind  and  the  lame  shall  not 
come  into  the  house. 

9  So  Da'vid  dwelt  in  the  "fort, 
and  called  it  the  ^city  of  Da'vid. 
And  Da'vid  built  round  aljout 
from   '^Mil'16  and  inward. 

10  And  "Da'vid  went  on,  and 
grew  great,  and  the  Lord  God 
of  hosts  was  with  him. 

11  H  And  ^Hl'ram  king  of 
^Tyre  sent  ^messengers  to  "Da'- 
vid, and  ''cedar  trees,  and  "car- 
penters, and  "masons:  and  they 
'built  Da'vid  an  "house. 

12  And  Da'vid  perceived  that 
the  ''Lord  had  established  him 
king  over  ° I.s'ra-el,  and  that  he 
had  exalted  his  kingdom  for  his 
people  Ls'ra-el's  sake. 

13  II  And  "Da'vid  nook  him 
more  •'^concubines  and  wives  out 
of  *Je-ru's?i-lem,  after  he  was 
come  from  'He'bron:  and  there 
were  yet  sons  and  daughters 
born  to  Da'vid. 

14  And  these  be  the  names  of 
those  that  were  born  unto  him  in

^E-lr'a-da,  and  ''E-liph'a-let. 

17  t  But  when  the  "Phi-lis'- 
tine.s  heard  that  they  had 
^anointed  'Da'vid  *king  over  I.s'- 
ra-el,  all  the  Phi-lis'tine.s  came 
up  to  seek  Da'vid;  and  Da'vid 
heard  of  it,  and  went  down  to 
the  'hold. 

18  The  Phi-lis'tines  also  came 
and  spread  themselves  in  the 
valley  of  '"Reph'a-im. 

19  And  Da'vid  "enquired  of  the 
Lord,  saying,  Shall  I  go  up  to 
the  PhT-lis'tines  ?  wilt  thou  de- 
liver them  into  mine  hand  ?  And 
the  Lord  "said  unto  Da'vid,  Go 
up:  for  I  will  doubtless  deliver 
the  Phi-lis'tines  into  thine  hand. 

20  And  'Da'vid  came  to  ^Ba'al- 
per'a-zim,  and  D  a'v  i  d  smote 
them  there,  and  said.  The  Lord 
hath  broken  forth  upon  mine  en- 
emies before  me,  as  the  breach 
of  waters.  Therefore  he  called 
the  name  of  that  place  Baal- 
p?r'a-zim. 

21  And  there  they  left  their  'im- 
ages, and  'Da'vid  and  his  men 
'burned  them. 

22  1  And  the  "Phi-lTs'tines 
came  up  yet  again,  and  spread 
themselves  in  the  valley  of 
'"Reph'a-im. 

23  7\nd  when  'Da'vid  "en- 
quired of  the  Lord,  he  "said, 
'^Thou  shalt  not  go  up;  ^but 
*fetch  a  compass  behind  them, 
and  come  upon  them  over 
against  the  'mulberry  trees. 

24  And  let  it  be,  when  thou 
hearest  the  sound  of  ''a  going  in 
the  tops  of  the  ^mulberry  trees, 
that  then  thou  shalt  bestir  thy- 
self: for  then  shall  the  "Lord  20 


out  before  thee,  to  smite  the  host 
of  the  "Phi-lis'tines. 

25  And  'Da'vid  did  so,  as  the 
Lord  had  commantled  him;  and 
smote  the  ''Phi-lTs'tine.s  from 
"Ge'ba  until  thou  come  to 
"'Ga'zer. 

CHAPTER  6 

David  fetches  the  ark  from  Kirjath  Jcarim 
on  a  new  cart.  6  Uzzah  is  smitten.  11 
God  blesses  Obed  edorn.  12  David  bring- 
ing the  ark  into  Zion  dances  before  it. 
17  Jle  places  it  in  the  tabernacle.  20  A/i 
chat,  reproving  David  for  his  religious 
joy,  is  childless  to  her  death. 

AGAIN,  '^Da'vid  gathered  to- 
gether all  the  chosen  men 
of  "Ls'ra-el,  thirty  thousand. 

2  And  "Da'vid  arose,  and  went 
with  all  the  people  that  were  with 
him  from  Ba'al-e  of  Ju'dah,  to 
bring  up  from  thence  the  '^ark 
of  God,  whose  name  is  called 
by  the  name  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  that  ^•''•'^dwelleth  between 
the  cherubims. 

3  And  they  set  the  ^ark  of  God 
upon  a  new  'cart,  and  brought  it 
out  of  the  house  of  ^A-bin'a-dab 
that  was  in  ^''Gib'e-ah:  and 
'Uz'zah  and  'A-hl'6,  the  sons  of 
A-bin'a-dab,  drave  the  new  cart. 

4  And  they  brought  it  out  of 
the  house  of  ^A-bin'a-diib  which 
was  at  ^•''Gib'e-ah,  accompany- 
ing the  ark  of  God:  and  A-hi'6 
went  l)efore  the  ark. 

5  And  "Dfi'vid  and  all  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  Splayed  before  the 
Lord  on  all  manner  of  instru- 
ments made  of  *fir  wood,  even  on 
'harps,  and  on  '"psalteries,  and 
on  "timbrels,  and  ^on  cornets, 
and  on  "cymbals. 

6  And  ^when  they  came  to  Na'- 
chon's  'threshingfloor,  'Uz'zah 
'^put  forth  his  hand  to  the  %rk  of 
God,  and  took  hold  of  it;  for  the 
oxen  ^shook  it. 

7  And  the  *anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  'Uz'zah; 
and  God  'smote  him  there  for

his  ^error;  and  there  he  died  by 
the  ark  of  God. 

8  x\nd  Da'vid  was  displeased, 
because  the  Lord  had  made  a 
breach  upon  Uz'zah:  and  he 
called  the  name  of  the  place 
"Pe'rez-uz'zah  to  this  day. 

9  And  Da'vid  was  afraid  of  the 
Lord  that  day,  and  said,  How 
shall  the  '"ark  of  the  Lord  corae 
to  ine  ? 

10  So  Da'vid  would  not  remove 
the  '"ark  of  the  Loud  unto  him 
into  the  Vity  of  Da'vid:  l)ut  Da'- 
vid carried  it  aside  into  the 
house  of  ^O'bed-e'dom  the  Git'- 
tite. 

11  And  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
continued  in  the  house  of 
Hj'bed-e'dom  the  (jit'tlte  three 
months:  and  the  Lord  "blessed 
O'bed-e'dom,  and  all  his  house- 
hold. 

12  \  And  it  was  told  king  «Da'- 
vid,  saying,  The  Lord  hath 
blessed  the  house  of  ^O'bed-e'- 
dom, and  all  that  perfainefli  unto 
him,  l)ecause  of  the  ''ark  of  ( rod. 
So  Da'vid  went  and  brought  up 
the  ark  of  God  from  the  house  of 
O'bed-e'dom  into  the  "city  of 
Da'vid  with  gladness. 

13  And  it  was  so,  that  when 
they  that  bare  the  ''ark  of  the 
Lord  had  gone  six  Spaces,  he 
sacrificed  ^oxen  and  fatlings. 

14  And  Da'vid  ^danced  before 
the  Lord  with  all  liLs  might;  and 
^Da'vid  was  girded  with  a  linen 
'^ephod. 

1 5  So  *Da'vid  and  all  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  brought  up  the  '"ark  of 
the  Lord  with  '^shouting,  and 
with  the  sound  of  the  trumpet. 

10  And  as  the  '^ark  of  the  Lord 


came  into  the  ^city  of  Da'vid, 
^IMi'chal  Saul's  daughter  looked 
through  a  window,  and  saw  king 
Da'vid  leaping  and  "dancing  be- 
fore the  Lord;  and  "she  de- 
spised him  in  her  heart. 

17  t  And  they  brought  in  the 
''ark  of  the  Lord,  and  set  it  in 
his  place,  in  the  midst  of  the 
'^tabernacle  that  "Da'vid  had 
pitched  for  it:  and  Da'vid  of- 
fered M)unit  offerings  and  'peace 
offerings  before  the  Lord. 

18  And  as  soon  as  ''Da'vid  had 
made  an  end  of  offering  'l)urnt 
offerings  and  ^peace  offerings,  he 
^blessed  the  people  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

19  And  he  dealt  among  all  the 
people,  even  among  the  whole 
multitude  of  Is'ra-el,  as  well  to 
the  women  as  men,  to  every  one 
a  cake  of  bread,  and  a  good 
piece  of  flesh,  and  a  'flagon  of 
wine.  So  all  the  people  departed 
every  one  to  his  house. 

20  \  Then  "Da'vid  returned  to 
bless  his  household.  And  ^Mi'- 
chal  the  daughter  of  Saul  came 
out  to  meet  Da'vid,  and  ^'"said, 
How  glorious  was  the  king  of 
Ls'ra-el  to  day,  who  uncovered 
himself  to  day  in  the  eyes  of  the 
handmaids  of  his  servants,  as 
one  of  the  vain  fellows  shame- 
lessly uncovereth  himself! 

21  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Mi'- 
chal,  It  was  before  the  Lord, 
which  "chose  me  before  thy  fa- 
ther, and  before  all  his  house,  to 
appoint  me  ruler  over  the  peo- 
ple of  the  Loud,  over  I§'ra-el: 
therefore  will  I  play  l)cfore  the 
Lord. 

22  And  I  will  yet  be  more  vile

CHAPTER  7 

Nathan  approves  the  purpose  of  David  to 
build  God  a  house.  4  Aftenvard  by  the 
comynand  of  God  he  forbids  him;  \2  but 
promises  blessings  to  his  seed.  18  Da- 
vid's prayer  and  thanksgiving. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  "-''king  sat  in  his 
house,  and  the  Lord  had  given 
him  rest  round  about  from  all 
his   enemies ; 

2  That  the  "'"king  said  unto 
*Na'than  the  prophet,  'See  now, 
I  dwell  in  an  ''house  of  cedar, 
but  the  ''ark  of  God  dwelleth 
within  curtains. 

3  And  *Na'than  said  to  the 
king,  (lO,  do  all  that  is  in  thine 
heart;  for  the  Lord  is  with  thee. 

4  \  And  it  came  to  pass  that 
nio;ht,  that  ''the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  vuito     Na'than,  saying, 

5  Go  and  tell  my  servant  ''Da'- 
vid,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Shalt 
thou  build  me  an  "house  for  me 
to  dwell  in  ? 

6  Whereas  I  have  not  dwelt  in 
any  house  since  the  time  that  I 
''brought  up  the  children  of  T.s'- 
ra-el  out  of  'E'gypt,  even  to  this 
day,  but  have  Avalked  in  a  tent 
and   in  a   Habernacle. 

7  In  all  the  places  wherein  I 
have  walked  with  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Ts'ra-el  spake  I  a  word 
with  any  of  the  tribes  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  whom  I  commanded  to 
feed  my  people  Is'ra-el,  saying, 
Why  build  ye  not  me  an  house 
of  cedar  ? 

8  Now  therefore  so  shalt  thou 
say   unto    my    servant    Da'vid, 


Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  'I 
'"took  thee  from  the  sheepcote, 
from  "following  the  sheep,  to  be 
ruler  over  my  people,  over  I.^'ra-el : 

9  And  I  was  with  thee  whither- 
soever thou  wentest,  and  ''have 
cut  off  all  thine  enemies  out  of 
thy  sight,  and  have  "made  thee  a 
great  name,  like  unto  the  name 
of  the  great  m.e7i  that  are  in  the 
earth. 

10  Moreover  I  will  ''appoint  a 
place  for  my  people  ^Ls'ra-el,  and 
will  plant  them,  that  they  may 
dwell  in  a  place  of  their  own,  and 
move  no  more;  neither  shall 
tiie  children  of  wickedness  afflict 
them  any  more,  as  beforetime, 

11  And  as  since  the  time  that 
'I  commanded  judges  to  be  over 
my  people  ''L^'ra-el,  and  have 
caused  thee  to  rest  from  all  thine 
enemies.  Also  the  Lord  telleth 
thee  that  he  will  make  thee  an 
house. 

12  And  *wlien  thy  days  be  ful- 
filled, and  thou  shalt  sleep  with 
thy  fathers,  '-'"I  will  ''set  up  thy 
^seed  after  thee,  which  shall  pro- 
ceed out  of  thy  bowels,  and  I 
will  establish  his  kingdom. 

13  *He  shall  build  an  'house  for 
my  name,  and  'I  will  stablish 
"the  throne  of  ''his  kingdom  '^for 
ever. 

14  «"I  will  be  his  father,  and 
'he  shall  be  my  son.  If  he  com- 
mit iniquity,  I  will  ^'^^  "chasten 
him  with  the  ''rod  of  men,  and 
with  the  stripes  of  the  children 
of  men : 

15  But  my  ''mercy  shall  not  de- 
part away  from  him,  as  I  took 
it  from  "Saul,  whom  I  put  away 
before  thee. 

16  And  thine  house  and  thy 
kingdom  shall  be  established  for 
ever  before  thee:  ''thy  throne 
shall  be  established  for  ever.

17  According  to  alt  these  words, 
and  accordinir  to  all  this  ^vision, 
so  did  Na'than  speak  unto 
"Da'vid. 

18  t  Then  went  king  "Dii'vid 
in,  and  sat  before  the  Lord,  and 
he  ''said,  '^Yho  am  I,  O  Lord 
God  ?  and  what  is  my  house, 
that  thou  hast  brought  nie 
hitherto  ? 

19  And  this  was  yet  a  small 
thing  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord  God; 
but  thou  hast  spoken  also  of  thy 
servant's  house  for  a  great  wiiile 
to  come.  And  is  this  the  manner 
of  man,  O  I^ord  God  ? 

20  And  what  can  ^Da'vid  say 
more  unto  thee  ?  for  thou,  I.,ord 
God,  '-^knowest  thy  servant. 

21  For  thy  word's  sake,  and  ac- 
cording to  'thine  own  heart,  hast 
thou  done  all  these  great  things, 
to  make  thy  servant  know  thevi. 

22  Wherefore  thou  art  great,  O 
Lord  God:  for  there  is  none  like 
thee,  neither  is  there  any  "'God 
beside  thee,  according  to  all  that 
we  have  heard  with  our  ears. 

2.3  And  what  one  nation  in  the 
earth  is  like  thy  people,  even  like 
"Is'ra-el,  whom  God  went  to  "re- 
deem for  a  people  to  himself, 
and  to  make  him  a  name,  and  to 
do  for  you  ''great  things  and  ter- 
rible, for  thy  land,  before  thy 
people,  which  thou  redeemedst 
to  thee  from  *K'gypt,  ]rom  the 
nations  and  their  gods  ? 

24  For  thou  hast  confirmed  to 
thyself  thy  people  "Is'ra-el  to  he 
a  people  unto  thee  for  ever:  and 
thou,  Lord,  art  become  their 
God. 

25  ''And  now,  O  Lord  God, 
the  word  that  thou  hast  spoken 
concerning  thy  servant,  and  con- 
cerning his  house,  establish  if  for 
ever,  and  do  as  thou  hast  said. 

26  ''And  let  thy  name  be 
magnified  for  ever,  saying,  1"'he 


Lord  of  hosts  is  the  God  over 
Ls'ra-el:  and  let  the  house  of  thy 
servant  Da'vid  be  established 
before  thee. 

27  For  thou,  O  Lord  of  ho.sts, 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  hast  revealed  to 
thy  servant,  saying,  I  will  build 
thee  an  house :  therefore  hath  thy 
servant  found  in  his  heart  to 
''pray  this  prayer  unto  thee. 

28  And  now,  O  Lord  God, 
''thou  art  that  God,  and  thy 
words  *be  true,  and  thou  hast 
promised  this  goodness  unto  thy 
servant : 

29  ''Therefore  now  let  it  please 
thee  to  bless  the  house  of  thy 
servant,  that  it  may  continue  for 
ever  before  thee:  for  thou,  O 
Lord  (xOD,  hast  spoken  it:  and 
with  thy  blessing  let  the  house  of 
thy  servant  be  blessed  for  ever.

5  And  when  the  Syi-'i-ans  of 
"Da-mSs'cus  came  to  succour 
Ha,d-ad-e'zer  king  of  ''Zo'bah, 
'^Da'vid  slew  of  the  Syr'i-ans  two 
and  twenty  thousand  men. 

6  Then  Da'vid  put  "garrisons 
in  ''Syr'i-a  of  Da-mas'cus:  and 
the  Syr'i-ans  became  'servants 
to  Da'vid,  aruL  brought  gifts. 
And  the  Lord  *• '^preserved  Da'- 
vid whithersoever  he  went. 

7  And  Da'vid  took  the  ^shields 
of  'gold  that  were  on  the  serv- 
ants of  Had-ad-e'zer,  and 
brought  them  to  "Je-rii'sa-lem. 

8  And  from  Be'tah,  and  from 
Ber'o-thai,  cities  of  Had-ad-e'- 
zer, king  Da'vid  took  exceeding 
much  ^'brass. 

9  H  When  "'To'I  king  of  ^Ha'-

smitten  all  the  host  of  Had-ad-

10  J'Then  "'To'i  sent  'Jo'ram 
his  son  unto  king  Da'vid,  to 
salute  him,  and  to  bless  him, 
because  he  had  fought  against 
HS,d-ad-e'zer,  and  smitten  him: 
for  Had-ad-e'zer  had  wars  with 
To'T.  And  Jo'ram  brought  with 
him  vessels  of  "silver,  and  ves- 
sels of  *gold,  and  vessels  of 
"^brass : 

11  Which  also  king  '^Da'vid  did 
^'Medicate  unto  the  Lord,  with

dedicated  of  all  nations  which  he 
subdued ;

13  And  '^Da'vid  gat  him  a  name 
when  he  returned  from  smiting 


of  the  ''Syr'i-an.s  in  the  valley 
of  salt,  being  eighteen  thousand

14  ^  And  he  put  "'garrisons  in

put  he  garrisons,  and  all  "they  of 
E'dom  became  Da'vid's  "serv-

Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went. 

15  And  ^Da'vid  reigned  over  all 
^Ls'ra-el;  and  Da'vid  executed 
judgment  and  ^justice  unto  all 
his  people. 

16  ''And  'Jo'ab  the  son  of 
'Zer-u-i'ah  was  over  the  ^'host;

son  of  A-bi'a-thar,  were  the 
"priests;  and  "Sfir-a-I'ah  was

Where  is  he  ?  And  *Zi'h;i  said 
unto  the  king,  Behohl,  he  w  in

5  Then  king  Dfi'vid  sent,  and 
fetehed  him  out  of  the  house  of 
Ola'ehir,  the  son  of  'Am'mi-el, 
from  'Lo-dc'bar. 

6  Now  when  ^Me-phil)'o-shcth, 
the  son  of  ^Jon'a-than,  the  son 
of  'Saul,  was  come  unto  °l)a'- 
vid,  he  'fell  on  his  face,  and  did 
'•'reverence.  And  ''Da'vid  said, 
Mr-phil)'o-shctli.  And  he  an- 
swered,  Behold   thy  servant! 

7  Tl  And  "Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
Fear  not:  for  I  will  surclj  shew 
thee  kindness  for  '^Jon'a-thaii 
thy  father's  sake,  and  will  re- 
store thee  all  the  land  of  Saul  thy 
father:  and  "'-"thou  slialt  eat 
bread  at  my  table  continually. 

8  And  ^he  ^' 'bowed  himself, 
and  said,  "What  is  thy  servant, 
''that  tliou  shouldest  loolv  upon 
such  a  dead  ^'dog  as  I  am  ? 

9  t  Then  the  "'^king  called  to 
Zi'ba,  'Saul's  servant,  and  said 

unto  him,  I  have  "'given  unto  thy 
master's  son  all  that  pertained  to 
Saul  and  to  all  his  house. 

10  Thou  therefore,  and  thy 
sons,  and  thy  ''servants,  shall 
'till  the  land  for  him,  and  thou 
shalt  bring  in  the  frvifs,  that  thy 
master's  son  may  have  food  to 
cat:  but  ^Me-phib'o-shcth  thy 
master's  son  shall  eat  bread 
alwayat  my  table.  Now  *Zl'ba 
had  fifteen  sons  and  twenty 
.servants. 

11  Then  said  Zi'ba  unto  the 
king,  According  to  all  that  my 
lord  the  king  hath  commanded 
his  servant,  so  shall  thy  servant 
do.  As  for  ^Ale-pliTb'o-shcth, 
said  the    king,  he   shall  eat  at 


my  table,  as  one  of  the  king's 
sons. 

12  And  ^Me-phib'o-shcth  had 
a  young  son,  whose  name  was 
'Mi'cha.  And  all  that  dwelt  in 
the  house  of  Zi'ba  were  servants 
unto  Me-phib'o-sheth. 

13  So  ^Me-phib'o-shcth  dwelt 
in  " Jc-ru'sa,-lcm :  for  he  did  eat 
continually  at  the  king's  table; 
and  was  lame  on  both  his  feet.

this,  that  the  king  of  the

2  Then  ''said  ^Da'vid,  I  will

Tarry  at  "^Jer'i-cho  until  your 
beards  be  grown,  and  then  re- 
turn. 

6  T[  And  when  the  ^children  of 
Am'mon  saw  that  they  'stank 
before  ^Da'vid,  the  children  of 
Am'mon  sent  and  hired  the 
"•  ^Syr'i-ans  of  *Beth-re'h6b,  and 
the  Syr'i-ans  of  '^Zo'ba,  twenty 
thousand  footmen,  and  of  king 
*jMa'a-cah  a  thousand  men,  and 
of  "''Ish'-tob  twelve  thousand 
men. 

7  And  when  '^Da'vid  heard  of  it, 
he  sent  "Jo'ab,  and  all  the  host 
of  the  mighty  men. 

8  And  the  ''children  of  Am'mon 
came  out,  and  put  the  battle  in 
array  at  the  entering  in  of  the 
gate:  and  the  "Syr'i-ans  of  ^Zb'- 
ba,  and  of  ^Re'hob,  and  ^-'Ish'- 
tob,  and  ^INIa'a-cah,  were  by 
themselves  in  the  field. 

9  When  "Jd'ab  saw  that  the 
front  of  the  battle  was  against 
him  before  and  behind,  he  chose 
of  all  the  choice  vim  of  "Ls'ra-el, 
and  put  them  in  array  against  the 
"Syr'i-aiLs : 

10  And  the  rest  of  the  people 
he  delivered  into  the  hand  of 
"'A-bish'a-I  his  brother,  that  he 
might  put  them  in  array  against 
the  ''children  of  Am'mon. 

11  And  he  said.  If  the  "Syr'i- 
ans  be  too  strong  for  me,  then 
thou  shalt  help  me:  but  if  the 
''children  of  Am'mon  be  too 
strong  for  thee,  then  I  will  come 
and  help  thee. 

12  Be  of  good  courage,  and  ^let 
us  play  the  men  for  our  people, 
and  for  the  cities  of  our  God: 
and  the  Lord  do  that  which 
seemeth  him  good. 

13  And  "Jo'ab  drew  nigh,  and 
the  people  that  were  with  him, 
unto  the  batcle  against  the  "Syr'- 
i-ans:  and  they  fled  before  him. 

14  x\nd  when  the  ''children  of 
Am'mon  saw  that  the  Syr'i-ans

were  fled,  then  fled  they  also  be- 
fore "'A-bish'a-I,  and  entered  in- 
to the  city.  So  "Jo'ab  returned 
from  the  children  of  Am'mon, 
and  came  to  ^Je-rii'sa-lem. 

15  TI  And  when  the  "Syr'i-an.s 
saw  that  they  were  ^smitten 
before  ^Is'ra-el,  they  gathered 
themselves  together. 

IG  And  ^Had-ar-e'zer  sent,  and 
brought  out  the  "Syr'i-an.s  that 
were  beyond  the  river:  and  they 
came  to  He'lam;  and  "oho'bach 
the  "captain  of  the  host  of  Had- 
ar-e'zer  went  before  them. 

17  And  when  it  was  told  '^Da'- 
vid,  hj  gathered  all  '^Is'ra-el  to- 
gether, and  passed  over  ''Jor'- 
dan,  and  came  to  He'lam.  And 
the  Syr'i-ans  set  themselves  in 
array  against  Da'vid,  and  fought 
with  hiia. 

18  And  the  Syr'i-ans  fled  before 
Is'ra-el;  and  '^Da'vid  slew  the 
men  of  seven  hundred  'chariots 
of  the  Syr'i-ans,  and  forty  thou- 
sand ^'horsemen,  and  smote 
Sho'bach  the  captain  of  their 
host,  who  died  there. 

19  And  when  all  the  kings  that 
were  servants  to  ''Had-ar-e'zer 
saw  that  they  w^ere  ^smitten  be- 
fore I§'ra-el,  they  made  peace 
with  I§'ra-el,  and  served  them. 
So  the  Syr'i-ans  feared  to  help 
tlie  children  of  Am'mon  any 
more.

eveningtide,  that  "Da'vid  arose 
from  off  his  bed,  and  walked  up- 
on the  roof  of  the  king's  ''house: 
and  from  the  roof  he  saw  a 
woman  washing  herseU';  and  the 
woman  was  very  'beautiful  'to 
look  upon. 

3  And  "Da'vid  sent  and  ^en- 
quired after  the  woman.  And 
one  said,  Is  not  this 'Bath'-she- 
ba,  the  daughter  of  '"E-lI'am,  the 
^vife  of  *U-rl'ah  the  Hit'tite  ? 

4  And  "Da'vid  sent  messengers, 
and  "took  her;  and  ^she  came  in 
unto  him,  and  he  ^lay  with  her; 
for  she  was  ''purified  from  her 
^uncleanness:  and  she  returned 
unto  her  house. 

5  And  the  woman  conceived, 
and  sent  and  told  "Da'vid,  and 
said,  I  am  with  child. 

6  And  '^Da'vitl  sent  to  *Jo'ab, 
saijmg,  Send  me  *U-rl'ah  the 
Hit'tite.  And  Jo'ab  sent  U-rl'ah 
to  Da'vid. 

7  And  when  *U-ri'ah  was  come 
unto  him,  "Da'vid  demanded  of 
him  how  Jo'ab  did,  and  how  the 
people  did,  and  how  the  ^var 
prospered. 

8  And  "Da'vid  said  to  *U-rl'- 
ah,  Go  down  to  thy  house,  and 
"wash  thy  ''feet.  And  U-ri'ah 
departed  out  of  the  king's  house, 
and  there  followed  him  a  mess  of 
meat  from  the  king. 

9  '^'But  *U-rI'ah  slept  at  the 
door  of  the  king's  house  w4th  all 
the  servants  of  his  lord,  and  went 
iK^t  down  to  his  house. 

10  And  when  they  had  told 
"Da'vid,  sa\ing,  *U-rl'ah  went 
not  down  unto  his  house,  Da'vid 
said  unto  F-ri'ah,  Camest  thou 
not  from  /////  journey?  why  iJtcn. 
didst  thou  not  go  down  unto 
thine  hou.se  ? 

11  And  U-ri'ah  said  unto  "Da'- 
vid, The  ^ark,  and  Is'ra-el,  and 
Ju'dah,  abide  in  'tents;  and  inv 


lord  *Jo'ab,  and  the  servants  of 
my  lord,  are  encamped  in  the 
open  fields;  ^shall  I  then  go  into 
mine  house,  to  eat  and  to  drink, 
and  to  lie  with  my  wife  ?  as  thou 
livest,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  ^I 
will  not  do  this  thing. 

12  And  Da'vid  said  to  U-rl'ah. 
Tarry  here  to  day  also,  and  to 
morrow  I  will  let  thee  depart.  So 
U-ri'ah  abode  in  "Je-ru'sa-lem 
that  day,  and  the  morrow. 

13  And  when  Da'vid  had  called 
him,  he  did  eat  and  drink  before 
him;  and  he  made  him  "drunk: 
and  at  even  he  went  out  to  lie  on 
his  bed  with  the  servants  of  his 
lord,  but  went  not  down  to  his 
house. 

14  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  '^•''Da'vid  wrote  a 
'^letter  to  Mo'ab,  and  sent  it  by 
the  hand  of  *U-rl'ah. 

15  And  "he  wrote  in  the  'let- 
ter, sa}'ing,  '•'•■'Set  ye  U-ri'ah  in 
the  forefront  of  the  hottest  ])attle, 
and  retire  ye  from  him,  that  he 
may  be  smitten,  and  die. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'Jo'ab  observed  the  city,  that  he 
assigned  U-rl'ah  unto  a  place 
where  he  knew  that  valiant  men 
were. 

17  And  the  men  of  the  city  went 
out,  and  fought  with  'Jd'al):  and 
there  fell  some  of  the  })eople  of

2  The  rich  man  had  exceeding 
many  flocks  and  herds : 

3  But  the  poor  man  had  noth- 
ing, save  one  little  ewe  lamb, 
which  he  had  bought  and  nour- 
ished up :  and  it  grew  up  together 
with  him,  and  with  his  children; 
it  did  eat  of  his  own  meat,  and 
drank  of  his  own  cup,  and  lay  in 
his  bosom,  and  was  unto  him  as 
a  daughter. 

4  And  there  came  a  traveller 
unto  the  rich  man,  and  he  spared 
to  take  of  his  own  flock  and  of 
his  own  herd,  to  dress  for  the 
w^ayfaring  man  that  was  come 
unto  him;  but  he  took  the  poor 
man's  lamb,  and  dressed  it  for 
the  man  that  was  come  to  him. 

5  And  Da'vid's  ^anger  was 
greatly  kindled  against  the  man; 
and  he  said  to  ''Na'than,  ^'As  the 
Lord  liveth,  *the  man  that  hath 
done  this  Hhing  shall  surely  die: 

6  And  he  shall  'restore  the  lamb 
fourfold,  because  he  did  this 
thing,  and  because  he  had  no 
pity. 

7  t  And  "Na'than  ^said  to 
''Dfi'vid,  Thou  art  the  man. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  '^I  'anointed  thee  king 
over  '"Is'ra-el,  and  I  "tlelivered 
thee  out  of  the  hand  of  "Saul; 

S  And  ^I  gave  thee  thy  master's 
house,  and  thy  master's  ''wives 
into  thy  bosom,  and  gave  thee 
the  liou.se  of  Ts'ra-el  and  of  Ju'- 
dah ;  and  if  that  had  hern  too  lit- 
tle, I  would  moreover  have  given 
unto  thee  such  and  such  things. 

9  Wherefore  hast  thou  despised 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord, 
to  '^do  evil  in  his  sight  ?  thou  hast 
"killed  'U-rl'ah  the  Hit'tlte  with 
the  sword,  and  hast  taken  his 
"wife  io  he  thy  wife,  and  hast 
slain  him  with  the  sword  of  the 
^children  of  Am'mon.

shall  never  depart  from  thine 
house;  because  thou  hast  de-

wife  of  'U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite  to  be 
thy  wife. 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold,"''^I  will  raise  up  evil  against 
thee  out  of  thine  own  house,  and 
I  will  take  thy  wives  before  thine 
eyes,  and  give  them  unto  thy 
neighbour,  and  he  shall  lie  with 
thy  wives  in  the  sight  of  tlais  sun. 

12  For  thou  didst  it  secretly: 
but  I  will  do  this  thing  before  all 
Ls'ra-el,  and  before  the  sun. 

is  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Na'- 
than,  ^^I  have  sinned  against 
the  Lord.  And  '^Na'than  said 
unto  *Da'vid,  The  Lord  also 
hath  '^•'^put  away  thy  sin;  thou 
shalt  not  die. 

14  Howbeit,  because  by  this 
*deed  thou  hast  given  great  oc- 
casion to  the  enemies  of  the 
Lord  to  *blaspherae,  the  child 
also  that  is  born  unto  thee  'shall 
surely  die. 

15  1  And  "Na'than  departed 
unto  his  house.  And  the  IjORD 
"struck  the  child  that  U-rl'ah's 
'^Avife  bare  unto  ^Da'vid,  and  it 
was  very  sick. 

16  Da'vid  therefore  ^•'' ^'be- 
sought God  for  the  child;  and 
Da'vid  'fasted,  and  went  in,  and 
lay  all  night  upon  the  earth. 

17  And  the  elders  of  his  house 
arose,  and  went  to  him,  to  laise 
him  up  from  the  earth:  but  he 
would  not,  'neither  did  he  eat 
bread  with  them. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
""seventh    dav,    that    "the  child 


"died.  And  the  sei-vants  of  *Da'- 
vid  feared  to  tell  liim  that  the 
child  was  dead:  for  they  said, 
Behokl,  while  the  child  was  yet 
alive,  we  spake  unto  him,  and 
he  W'ould  not  hearken  unto  our 
voice:  how  will  he  then  vex  him- 
self, if  we  tell  him  that  the  child 
is  dead  ? 

19  But  when  ^Da'vid  saw  that 
his  servants  whispered,  Da'vid 
perceived  that  the  child  was 
"dead :  therefore  Da'vid  said  un- 
to his  servants.  Is  the  child 
dead  ?  And  they  said,  He  is 
dead. 

20  Then  ''Da'vid  arose  from  the 
earth,  and  washed,  and  ^anoint- 
ed Jiimself,  and  changed  his  ap- 
parel, and  came  into  the  'house 
of  the  Lord,  and  worshipped: 
then  he  came  to  his  ow^n  house; 
and  when  he  required,  they  set 
bread  before  him,  and  he  did 
eat. 

21  Then  said  his  servants  unto 
him,  What  thing  is  this  that  thou 
hast  done?  thou  didst  fast  and 
weep  for  the  child,  while  it  was 
alive;  but  when  the  child  was 
dead,  thou  didst  rise  and  eat 
bread. 

22  And  he  said.  While  the  child 
was  yet  alive,  I  fasted  and  wept: 
for  I  said,  Who  can  tell  tohether 
God  will  be  gracious  to  me,  that 
the  child  may  live  ? 

23  '■'*''But  now  he  is  dead, 
wherefore  siiould  I  fast  ?  can  I 
bring  him  back  again  ?  "I  shall 
go  to  him,  but  he  shall  not  re- 
turn to  me.

'make  thyself  sick:  and  when 
thy  father  cometh  to  see  thee, 
say  unto  him,  I  pray  thee,  let  my 
sister  ''Ta'mar  come,  and  give  me 
meat,  and  dress  the  meat  in  my 
sight,  that  I  may  see  it,  and  eat 
it,  at  her  hand. 

6  So  ^Im'non  lay  down,  and 
^made  himself  sick:  and  when 
the  king  was  come  to  see  him, 
Am'non  said  unto  the  king,  I 
pray  thee,  let  "^Ta'mar  my  sister 
come,  and  make  me  a  couple  of 
cakes  in  my  sight,  that  I  may  eat 
at  her  hand. 

7  Then  "Da'vid  sent  home  to 
'^Ta'mar,  saying,  Go  now  to  thy 
brother  ^'Am'non's  house,  and 
dress  him  meat. 

8  So  ^Ta'mar  went  to  her 
brother  ''Amnion's  house;  and  he 
was  laid  down.  And  she  took 
^flour,  and  kneaded  it,  and  made 
cakes  in  his  sight,  and  did  bake 
the  cakes. 

9  And  she  took  a  pan,  and 
poured  them  out  before  him;  l)ut 
he  refused  to  eat.  A.nd  ''Am'non 
said.  Have  out  all  men  from  me. 
And  they  went  out  every  man 
from  him. 

10  And  Ara'non  said  unto'^Ta'- 
mar,  Bring  the  meat  into  the 
chamber,  that  I  may  eat  of  thine 
hand.  And  Ta'mar  took  the 
cakes  which  she  had  made,  and 
brought  tlicm  into  the  chamber 
to  Am'n6n   her  brother. 

11  And  when  she  had  brought 
them  unto  him  to  eat,  he  ^took 
hold  of  her,  and  ''said  unto  her, 
Come  lie  with  me,  my  sister. 

12  And  she  answered  him,  Nay, 
my  brother,  do  not  force  me;  for 
no  such  thing  ought  to  be  done 
in  Is'ra-el:  do  not  thou  this 
folly.' 

13  And  I,  whither  shall  I  cause 
my  shame  to  go?  and  as  for 
thee,  thou  shalt  be  as  one  of  the 
fools  in  I.s'ra-el.  Now  therefore, 
I    pray    thee,   speak    unto    the 


king;   for  he  will   not  withhold 
me  from  thee. 

14  Howbeit  he  would  not 
hearken  unto  her  voice:  but,  be- 
ing stronger  than  she,  ^forced 
her,  and  ^lay  with  her. 

15  T[  Then  ^Am'nSn  %ated  her 
exceedingly;  so  that  the  hatred 
wherewith  he  hated  her  ims 
greater  than  the  love  wherewith 
he  had  loved  her.  And  Am'non 
said  unto  her,  Arise,  be  gone. 

16  And  ''she  said  unto  him. 
There  is  no  cause:  this  evil  in 
sending  me  away  is  greater  than 
the  other  that  thou  didst  unto 
me.  But  he  would  not  hearken 
unto  her. 

17  Then  he  called  his  servant 
that  ministered  unto  him,  and 
said.  Put  now  this  woman  out 
from  me,  and  bolt  the  door  after 
her. 

18  And  she  had  a  ^garment 
of  divers  colours  upon  her:  for 
with  such  robes  were  the  king's 
daugliters  that  were  '"virgins 
apparelled.  Then  his  servant 
brought  her  out,  and  bolted  the 
door  after  her. 

19  ^  And  '^Ta'mar  put  "ashes 
on  her  head,  and  "rent  her  gar- 
ment of  divers  colours  that  ivas 
on  her,  and  laid  her  hand  on  her 
head,  and  went  on  ^cr}ing. 

20  And  °Ab'sa-l6m  her  brother 
said  unto  her.  Hath  '^Am'non  thy 
brother  been  with  thee  ?  but  hold 
now  thy  peace,  my  sister:  he 
is  thy  brother;  regard  not  this 
thing.      So   '^Ta'rnar   remained 


desolate  in  her  brother  Ab'sa- 
lom's  house. 

21  ]f  But  when  king  *DaVid 
heard  of  all  these  things,  he  was 
very  *  wroth. 

22  And  "Ab'sa-lom  spake  unto 
his  brother  ^Am'non  neither 
good  nor  bad:  for  Ab'sa-I5m 
*^hated  Am'non,  because  lie  had 
'forced  his  sister  "^Tfi'mar.

two  full  years,  that  "Ab'sa-lom 
had  '^sheepshearers  in  Ba'al-ha'- 
zor,  which  is  beside  E'phra-im: 
and  Ab'sa-lom  ^invited  all  the 
king's  sons. 

24  And  "Ab'sa-lom  came  to  the 
king,  and  said,  Behold  now,  thy 
servant  hath  sheepshearers ;  let 
the  king,  I  beseech  thee,  and  his 
servants  go  with  thy  servant. 

25  And  the  king  said  to  Ab'sa- 
loni.  Nay,  my  son,  let  us  not  all 
now  go,  lest  we  be  ^chargeable 
unto  thee.  And  he  pressed  him: 
howbeit  he  would  not  go,  but 
'blessed   him. 

26  Then  said  Ab'sa-lom,  If  not, 
I  pray  thee,  let  my  brother  "Am'- 
n6n  go  with  us.  And  the  king 
said  unto  him,  Why  should  he  go 
with  thee  ? 

27  But  "Ab'sa-lom  pressed  him, 
that  he  let  Am'nSn  and  all  the 
king's  sons  go  with  him. 

28  1  Now  "Ab'sa-lom  had  com- 
manded his  servants,  saying, 
"Mark  ye  now  when  "Am'non's 
heart  is  ""merry  with  ^wine,  and 
when  I  say  unto  you,  Smite  Am'- 
non;  then  kill  him,  fear  not;  have 
not  I  commanded  you  ?  be  cour- 
ageous, and  be  valiant. 

29  And  the  servants  of  Ab'sa- 
lom  ^-  ^did  unto  "Am'non  as  Ab'- 
sa-lom had  commanded.  Then 
all  the  king's  sons  arose,  and 
every  man  gat  him  up  upon  his 
*mule,  and  fled. 

30  %  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
they  were  in  the  way,  that  tid- 
ings came  to  '^Da'\id,  saying, 
''Ab'sa-lom  hath  slain  all  the 
king's  sons,  and  there  is  not  one 
of  them  left. 

31  Then  the  king  arose,  and 
'^■/tare  his  garments,  and  lay  on 
the  earth;  and  all  his  servants 
stood  by  with  their  clothes  rent. 

32  And  Jon'a-d3,b,  the  son  of 
^Shim'e-ah  Da'vid's  brother,  an- 
swered and  said,  Let  not  my 
lord  suppose  ihat  they  have  slain 


all  the  young  men  the  king's 
sons;  for  "Am'non  only  is  dead: 
for  by  the  appointment  of  '^Ab'- 
sa-lom  this  hath  been  deter- 
mined from  the  day  that  he 
''forced  his  sister  ^Ta'mar. 

33  Now  therefore  let  not  my 
lord  the  king  take  the  thing  to 
his  heart,  to  think  that  all  the 
king's  sons  are  dead:  for  Am'- 
non  only  is  dead. 

34  But  ''Ab'sa-lom  'fled.  And 
the  ^'young  man  that  kept  the 
watch  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
looked,  and,  behold,  there  came 
much  people  by  the  way  of  the 
hill  side  behind  him. 

35  And  Jon'a-dab  said  unto 
the  king,  Behold,  the  king's  sons 
come:  as  thy  servant  said,  so 
it  is. 

36  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  he  had  made  an  end  of  speak- 
ing, that,  behold,  the  king's  sons 
came,  and  lifted  up  their  voice 
and  'wept:  and  the  king  also  and 
all  his  servants  wept  very  sore. 

37  11  But  ''Ab'sa-lom  fled,  and 
went  to  "'Tal'mai,  the  son  of 
Am-ml'hud,  king  of  "Ge'shur. 
And  Da'vid  ''mourned  for  his 
son  every  day. 

38  So  "Ab'sa-lom  'fled,  and 
went  to  "Ge'shur,  and  was  there 
three  years. 

39  And  the  soul  of  king  '^Da'vid 
"longed  to  go  forth  unto  Ab'sa- 
lom:  for  he  was  comforted  con- 
cerning "Am'non,  seeing  he  was 
dead.

3  And  come  to  the  king,  and 
s|X^ak  on  this  manner  unto  him. 
So  "■''Jo'ab  put  the  words  in  her 
mouth. 

4  Tf  And  when  the  woman  of 
''Te-kd'ah  spake  to  the  king,  she 
fell  on  her  face  to  the  ground, 
and  did  obeisance,  and  said, 
^Help,  O  king. 

5  And  the  king  said  unto  her, 
What  aileth  thee  ?  And  she  an- 
swered, ^I  am  indeed  a  widow 
woman,  and  mine  husband  is 
dead. 

6  And  thy  handmaid  had  two 
sons,  and  they  two  strove  to- 
gether in  the  field,  and  there  wan 
none  to  part  them,  but  the  one 
'"smote  the  other,  and  slew  him. 

7  And,  behold,  the  whole  fam- 
ily is  risen  against  thine  hand- 
maid, and  they  said,  Deliver  him 
that  smote  his  brother,  that  we 
may  kill  him,  for  the  life  of  his 
brother  whom  he  slew;  and  wc 
will  destroy  the  heir  also:  and 
so  they  shall  quench  my  "coal 
which  is  left,  and  shall  not  leave 
to  my  husband  neith.er  name  nor 
remainder  upon  the  earth. 

8  And  the  ''king  said  unto  the 
woman,  Go  to  thine  house,  and 
I  will  give  charge  concerning 
thee. 

9  And  the  woman  of  ''Te-kd'ah 
said  unto  the  king,  ISIy  lord,  O 
king,  "the  iniquity  be  on  me,  and 
on  my  father's  house:  and  the 
king  and  his  throne  be  guiltless. 

10  And  the  king  said.  Whoso- 


ever saith  oicgJit  unto  thee,  bring 
him  to  nic,  and  he  shall  not 
touch  thee  any  more. 

11  Then  said  she,  I  pray  thee, 
let  the  king  remember  the  Lord 
thy  God,  that  thou  wouldest  not 
suffer  the  ^revengers  of  blood  to 
destroy  any  more,  lest  they  de- 
stroy my  son.  And  he  said,  '^As 
the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall  not 
one  hair  of  thy  son  fall  to  the 
earth. 

12  Then  the  woman  said,  ''Tet 
thine  handmaid,  I  pray  thee, 
speak  one  word  unto  my  lord  the 
''king.  And  he  said.  Say  on. 

13  And  the  woman  ''said.  Where- 
fore then  hast  thou  thought  such 
a  thing  against  the  people  of 
God?  for  the  king  doth  speak 
this  thing  as  one  which  is  ^faulty, 
in  that  the  king  doth  not  fetch 
home   again   his    banished. 

14  *For  we  ^must  needs  die,  and 
are  as  water  spilt  on  the  ground, 
which  can  not  be  gathered  up 
again;  neither  doth  God  -re- 
spect any  person:  yet  doth  "he 
devise  means,  that  his  banished 
be  not  expelled  from  him. 

15  Now  therefore  that  I  am 
come  to  ^speak  of  this  thing  unto 
my  lord  the  king,  tt  is  because 
the  people  have  made  me  afraid  • 
and  thy  handmaid  said,  I  will 
now  speak  unto  the  king;  it  may 
be  that  the  king  will  perform  the 
request  of  his  handmaid. 

16  For  the  king  will  hear,  to  de- 
liver his  handmaid  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  man  that  would  de- 
stroy me  and  my  son  together 
out  of  the  inheritance  of  God. 

17  Then  thine  handmaid  said, 
The  word  of  my  lord  the  king 
shall  now  be  comfortable :  "for  as

Z  Beauty,  Prov. 


an  angel  of  God,  so  is  my  lord 
the  king  to  discern  good  and 
bad:  therefore  the  Lord  thy 
God  will  be  with  thee. 

18  Then  the  '^king  answered 
and  said  unto  the  woman,  Hide 
not  from  me,  I  pray  thee,  the 
thing  that  I  shall  ask  thee.  Ajid 
the  woman  said,  Let  my  lord  the 
king  now  speak. 

19  And  the  king  said,  Is  not  the 
hand  of  '^Jo'ab  with  thee  in  all 
this  ?  And  the  woman  answered 
and  said,  As  thy  soul  liveth,  my 
lord  the  king,  none  can  turn  to 
the  right  hand  or  to  the  left  from 
ought  that  my  lord  the  king  hath 
spoken :  for  thy  servant  Jo'ab,  he 
bade  me,  and  he  put  all  these 
words  in  the  mouth  of  thine 
handmaid : 

20  ^To  fetch  about  this  form  of 
speech  hath  thy  servant  Jo'ab 
done  this  thing:  and  '^my  lord  is 
wise,  according  to  the  wisdom  of 
an  angel  of  God,  to  know  all 
things  that  are  in  the  earth. 

21  *\  And  the  king  said  unto 
"Jo'ab,  Behold  now,  I  have  done 
this  thing:  go  therefore,  bring 
the  young  man  x\b'sa-lom  again. 

22  And  Jo'ab  fell  to  the  ground 
on  his  face,  and  ^bowed  himself, 
and  "thanked  the  king:  and 
Jo'ab  said.  To  day  thy  servant 
knoweth  that  I  have  found  grace 
in  thy  sight,  my  lord,  O  king,  in 
that  the  king  hath  fulfilled  the 
request  of  his  servant. 

23  So  Jo'ab  arose  and  went  to 
■^Ge'shur,  and  brought  Ab'sa- 
lom  to  ^Je-ni'sa-lem. 

24  And  the  king  said,  Let  him 
turn  to  his  own  house,  and  let 
him  not  see  my  face.  So  ''Ab'sa- 
lom  returned  to  his  own  house, 
and  saw  not  the  king's  face. 

25  ^  But  in  all  Ts'ra-el  theie 
was  none  to  be  so  much  praised 
as   'Ab'sa-lom   for  his   ^beautv: 


from  the  sole  of  his  foot  even  to 
the  crown  of  his  head  there  was 
no  blemish  in  him. 

26  And  when  he  polled  his 
head,  (for  it  was  at  every  year's 
end  that  he  polled  it:  because  tJie 
hair  was  heavy  on  him,  there- 
fore he  polled  it :)  he  weighed  the 
hair  of  his  head  at  two  hundred 
shekels  after  the  king's  weight. 

27  And  unto  "Ab'sa-lom  there 
were  born  three  sons,  and  one 
daughter,  whose  name  %oa^  Ta'- 
mar:  she  was  a  woman  of  a  fair 
countenance. 

28  11  So  ^\b'sa-l6m  dwelt  two 
full  years  in  ''Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
saw  not  the  king's  face. 

29  Therefore  Ab'sa-lom  sent 
for  '^ Jo'ab,  to  have  sent  him  to 
the  king;  but  he  would  not  come 
to  him :  and  when  he  sent  again 
the  second  time,  he  would  not 
come. 

30  Therefore  he  said  unto  his 
servants.  See,  Jo'ab's  field  is 
near  mine,  and  he  hath  ''barley 
there;  go  and  ^set  it  on  fire.  And 
Ab'sa-lom's  servants  set  the  field 
on  fire. 

31  Then  '^ Jo'ab  arose,  and 
came  to  °Ab'sa-l6m  unto  his 
house,  and  said  unto  him, 
Wherefore  have  thy  servants 
set  my  field  on  fire  ? 

32  And  "Ab'sa-lom  answered 
'Jo'ab,  Behold,  I  sent  unto  thee, 
saying,  Come  hither,  that  I  may 
send  thee  to  the  king,  to  say, 
Wherefore  am  I  come  from  ''Ge'- 
shnr  ?  it  had  been  good  for  me  to 
have  been  there  still:  now  there- 
fore let  me  see  the  king's  face; 
and  if  there  be  any  iniquity  in 
me,  let  him  kill  me. 

33  So  ''Jo'ab  came  to  the  king, 
and  ^told  him:  and  when  he  had 
called  for  "Ab'sa-lom,  he  came 
to  the  king,  and  bowed  himself 
on  his  face  to  the  ground  before

CHAPTER  15 

Absalom  steals  the  hearts  of  Israel.  7  Un- 
it :r  cover  of  a  row  he  obtains  leave  to  go 
to  Hebron.  lu  lie  makes  a  great  con- 
spiracy tlierc.  13  David  upon  tlie  news 
flees  from  .Jerusalem.  1"J  Ittai  re/usrs  to 
leave  him.  24  Zadok  and  .Xbiatltar  are 
sent  l)ack  with  the  ark.  iW  David  anil  /(ix 
people  pass  over  mount  Olivet,  weeping. 
32  llushai  Is  sent  back  tctth  Instructions. 

AND   it  came  to   pass    after 
this,  that  "•Mb'sa-k") 111  *pre 
pared  him  chariots  and  horses, 
and   lift}'    men    to    run    before 
him. 

2  And  '^•''•''Ab'sa-Iom  rose  up 
early,  and  stood  besitle  the  way 
of  the  ''gate:  and  it  was  so,  that 
when  any  man  that  had  a 
controversy  came  to  the  'king 
for  ''judgment,  ^then  Ab'sa-lom 
''cahed  unto  him,  and  said.  Of 
what  city  aii  thou  ?  And  he  said, 
Thy  servant  is  of  one  of  the 
tribes  of  'Is'ra-el. 

3  And  «Al)'sa-lom  t-'^said  unto 
him,  See,  ^thy  matters  are  good 
and  right;  but  there  is  no  man 
deputed  of  the  king  to  hear  thee. 

4  ''■'^•'^Ab'sa-lom  said  moreover, 
^Oh  that  I  were  made  judge  in 
the  land,  that  every  man  which 
hath  any  suit  or  cause  might 
come  unto  me,  and  I  would  do 
him   justice! 

5  And  it  was  so,  that  ''when  any 
man  came  nigh  to  him,  to  do  him 
obeisance,  he  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  took  him,  and  kissed  him. 

6  And  on  this  manner  (Hd 
"■^■''Ab'sa-lom  to  all  I.s'ra-cl  that 
came  to  the  king  for  judgment: 
so  Al)'sa-l6m  *stole  the  hearts  of 
the  men  of  Ls'ra-el. 

7  1[  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
'forty    years,    that    "Ab'sa-lom 


said  unto  the  '  '"king,  "-"I  pray 
thee,  let  me  go  and  pay  my  "vow, 
which  I  have  ''vowed  unto  the 
Lord,  in  'He'bron. 

8  For  thy  servant  vowed  a 
"vow  while  I  abode  at  "Ge'shur 
in  'Syr'i-a,  saying,  "If  the  Lord 
shall  bring  me  again  indeed  to 
"Je-ru'sa-lem,  then  I  will  serve 
the  Lord. 

9  And  the  ''"'king  said  unto 
him,  Go  in  peace.  So  he  arose, 
and  went  to  H'^c'bron. 

10  Tf  But  "•'^Ab'sa-lom  '^sent 
'"spies  throughout  all  the  tribes 
of  Ls'ra-el,  saying.  As  soon  as  ye 
hear  the  sound  of  the  ^trumpet, 
then  ye  shall  say,  Ab'sa-lom 
reigneth  in  '^He'bron. 

11  And  with  "Ab'sa-loin  went 
two  hundred  men  out  of  *'Je- 
ni'sa-lem,  that  were  called;  and 
they  went  in  their  simplicity,  and 
they  knew  not  any  thing. 

12  And  '^Ab'sa-lom  sent  for 
^A-hith'o-phcl  the  Gi'lo-nite, 
^Da'vid's  ^counsellor,  from  his 
city,  even  from  "^Gi'loh,  while  he 
offered  sacrifices.  And  the  ''con- 
spiracy was  strong;  for  the  peo- 
ple increased  continually  with 
•^Ab'sa-lom. 

13  Tf  And  there  came  a  mes- 
senger to  ''Dti'vid,  saying,  The 
hearts  of  the  men  of  Ls'ra-el  are 
after  '^Ab'sa-lom. 

14  And  ''Da'vid  said  unto  all 
his  servants  that  were  with  him 
at  *Jc-rii'sa-lem,  Arise,  and  'let 
us  flee;  for  we  shall  not  else 
escape  from  ^Ab'sa-lom:  make 
speed  to  depart,  lest  he  overtake 
us  suddenly,  and  bring  evil  upon 
us,  and  smite  the  city  witli  the 
edge  of  the  sword.

15  And  the  "king's  servants 
said  unto  the  king,  Behold,  thy

ever my  lord  the  king  shall  ap- 
point. 

16  And  the  "king  went  forth, 
and  all  his  household  after  him. 
And  the  king  left  ten  women, 
which  were  ''concubines,  to  keep 
the  house. 

17  And  the  "king  went  forth, 
and  all  the  people  after  him,  and 
tarried  in  'a  place  that  was  far 
off. 

18  And  all  his  servants  passed 
on  beside  him;  and  all  the 
'Cher'e-thltes,  and  all  the  'Pel'e- 
thites,  and  all  the  Git'tltes,  six 
hundred  men  which  came  after 
him  from  ''^Gath,  passed  on  be- 
fore the  "king. 

19  II  Then  said  the  "king  to 
'It'ta-I  the  Git'tite,  Wherefore 
goest  thou  also  with  us  ?  return 
to  thy  place,  and  abide  with  the 
king:  for  thou  art  a  '"stranger, 
and  also  an  exile. 

20  '^Whereas  thou  earnest  but 
yesterday,  should  I  this  day 
make  thee  go  up  and  down  with 
us  ?  seeing  I  go  whither  I  may, 
return  thou,  and  take  back  thy 
brethren:  mercy  and  truth  be 
with  thee. 

21  And  'It'ta-I  answered  the 
king,  and  said,  "As  the  Lord 
liveth,  and  as  my  lord  the  king 
liveth,  P- "surely  in  what  place 
my  lord  the  king  shall  be,  wheth- 
er ^in  death  or  life,  even  there 
also  will  thy  servant  be. 

22  And  '^•^Da'vid  said  to  ^It'- 
ta-I,  Go  and  pass  over.  And 
It'ta-I  the  Git'tite  passed  over, 
and  all  his  men,  and  all  the  little 
ones  that  were  with  him. 

23  And  all  the  ''country  *wept 
with  a  loud  voice,  and  all  the 
people  passed  over :  the  king  also 
himself  passed  over  the  'brook 


"Kid'ron,  and  all  the  people 
passed  over,  toward  the  way  of 
the  wilderness. 

24  ^  And  lo  "•"'Za'dok  also,  and 
all  the  ^Le'vltes  were  with  him, 
bearing  the  ^ark  of  the  covenant 
of  God.  and  they  set  down  the 
ark  of  God;  and  ^A-bl'a-ihiir 
went  up,  until  all  the  people 
had  done  passing  out  of  the 
city. 

25  And  the  "king  said  unto 
''Za'dok,  Carry  back  the  '^ark  of 
God  into  the  city:  if  I  shall  find 
''favour  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord, 
he  will  bring  me  again,  and 
shew  me  both  it,  and  his  habi- 
tation , 

26  But  if  he  thus  say,  1  have  no 
delight  in  thee,  behold,  here  am 
I,  *'let  him  do  to  me  as  seemeth 
good  unto  him. 

27  The  "king  said  also  unto 
''Za'dok  the  priest,  Ai't  not  thou 
a  "seer  ?  return  into  the  city  in 
peace,  and  your  two  sons  with 
you,  "A-him'a-az  thy  son,  and 
^Jon'a-than  the  son  of  ''A-bi'a- 
thiir. 

28  See,  1  will  tarry  ^in  the 
plain  of  the  wilderness,  until 
there  come  word  from  you  to 
certify  me. 

29  "Za'dok  therefore  and  '^A- 
bl'a-thiir  carried  the  ''ark  of 
God  again  to  'Je~ni'sa-lem.  and 
they  tarried  there. 

30  Tf  And  "Da'vid  went  up  by 
the  ascent  of  ^'^ mount  Ol'i-vet, 
and  '^•'wept  as  he  went  up,  and 
had  his  head  covered,  and  he

Lord,  I  pray  thee,  turn  the 
counsel  of  A-hith'o-phei  into 
foolishness. 

o2  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  °Da'\iJ  was  come  to  the 
top  of  the  mount,  where  he 
^worshipped  God,  behold,  '^Hu'- 
shai  the  Ar'chlte  came  to  meet 
him  with  his  coat  ^'*rent,  and 
'earth  upon  his  head: 

33  Unto  whom  DaVid  "'"said, 
If  thou  passest  on  with  me,  then 
thou  shalt  be  a  burden  unto 
me: 

3-1  But  ^-"if  ''thou  return  to  the 
city,  and  say  unto  -^Ab'sa-lom, 
"I  will  be  thy  servant,  O  king;  as 
I  have  been  thy  father's  servant 
hitherto,  so  loill  I  now  also  he 
thy  servant:  then  mayest  thou 
for  me  defeat  the  counsel  of 
^A-hlth'o-phcl. 

35  And  haM  thou  not  there  with 
thee  "Za'dok  and  \l-bl'a-thar 
the  priests  ?  therefore  it  shall  be, 
that  what  thing  soever  thou  shalt 
hear  out  of  the  king's  house, 
thou  shalt  tell  it  to  Za'dok  and 
A-bl'a-thar  the  priests. 

36  Behold,  thnj  have  there  with 
them  their  two  sons,  "A-him'a- 
5.Z  Za'dok's  son,  and  *J6n'a- 
than  A-bi'a-thar's  son;  and  by 
them  ye  shall  send  unto  me 
every  thing  that  ye  can  hear. 

37  So  ^Hu'shai  "Da'vid's  ^friend 
came  into  the  city,  and 
^Al)'sa-l6in  came  into  *Je-ni'-

AND  when  "Da'vid  was  a 
little  past  the  top  oj  the 
hill,  i)ehold,  ''Zl'ba  the  '^servant 
of  ''Me-phili'o-sheth  met  him, 
with  a  couple  of  *asses  saddled, 
and  upon  them  'two  hundred 
loaves  of  "bread,  and  an  hundred 
l)Unches  of  *raisins,  and  an  hun- 


dred of  ^summer  fruits,  and  a 
bottle  of  %ine. 

2  And  the  king  saiii  unto  "Zl'ba, 
What  meanest  thou  by  'these  ? 
And  Zl'ba  said.  The  "^asses  he  for 
the  king's  hou.schold  to  ride  on; 
and  the  "bread  and  'summer 
fruit  for  the  ^young  men  to 
eat ;  and  the  'wine,  that  such  as 
be  faint  in  the  wilderness  may 
drink. 

3  And  the  "king  said,  And 
where  is  thy  master's  son  ?  And 
''Zl'ba  said  unto  the  king,  Be- 
hold, he  abideth  at  'Je-ru'sa- 
lem:  for  he  said.  To  day  shall 
the  house  of  '"l.s'ra-el  restore  me 
the  kingdom  of  my  father. 

4  Then  said  the  king  to  ''Zi'- 
ba.  Behold,  "•^•nliine  are  all 
that  •pertained  unto  ''jNIe-phib'o- 
sheth.  And  Zi'ba  said,  4  hum- 
bly beseech  thee  tliat  I  may  find 
grace  in  tliy  sight,  my  lord,  () 
king. 

5  \  And  when  king  "Da'vid 
came  to  *Ba-hu'rim,  behold, 
thence  came  out  a  man  of  the 
family  of  the  house  of  "^Saul, 
whose  name  was  *Shim'e-I,  the 
son  of  'Ge'ra :  he  came  forth,  and 
"•  '^cursed  still  as  he  came. 

6  And  he  cast  stones  at  ''Da'- 
vid,  and  at  all  the  servants  of 
king  Da'vid:  and  all  the  people 
and  all  the  mighty  men  were 
on  his  right  hand  and  on  his 
left. 

7  And  thus  said  *Shim'e-i  when 
he  "cursed,  ^•"'Come  out,  come 
out,  thou  bloody  man,  and  thou 
man  of  Be'li-al: 

8  The  Loud  hath  returned  up-

son  of  ^Zer-u-I'ah  unto  the  king, 
Why  should  this  dead  ''dog  curse 
my  lord  the  ''king  ?  let  me  go 
over,  I  pray  thee,  and  take  off 
his   head. 

10  And  the  '^king  said.  What 
have  I  to  do  with  you,  ye  sons  of 
Zer-u-fah  ?  '^so  let  ^him  curse, 
because  the  Lord  hath  said  un- 
to him,  ^Curse  Da'vid.  Who 
shall  then  say,  Wlierefore  hast 
thou   done   so  ? 

11  ''-"And  ^Da'vid  said  to 
A-bish'a-I,  and  to  all  his  serv- 
ants, Behold,  my  son,  which 
came  forth  of  my  l)owels,  seek- 
eth  my  life :  how  much  more  now 
may  this  Ben'ja'mite  do  it  ?  let 
hiin  alone,  and  let  him  curse;  for 
the  Lord  hath  bidden  him. 

12  It  may  be  that  the  Lord 
will  look  on  ""mine  ^affliction, 
and  that  the  Lord  will  rec[uite 
me  good  for  his  ''cursing  Hhis 
day. 

13  And  as  "^Dri'vid  and  his  men 
went  by  the  way,  ^Shim'e-I  went 
along  on  the  hill's  side  over 
against  him,  and  cursed  as  he 
went,  and  threw  stones  at  him, 
and  cast  ^'dust. 

14  And  the  king,  and  all  the 
people  that  were  with  him,  came 
weary,  and  refreshed  themselves 
there. 

15  Tf  And  'Ab'sa-lom,  and  all 
the  people  the  men  of  Ls'ra-el, 
came  to  '"Je-rvi'sa-lem,  and  '^A- 
liTth'o-phel  with    him. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite,  Da'vid's 
^friend,  was  come  unto  Ab'sa- 
lom,  that  Hu'shai  ^-''said  unto 
Ab'sa-lom,  *God  save  the  king, 
God  save  the  king. 

17  And  ^Ab'sa-lom  said  to 
"Hu'shai,  7^  this  thy  kindness  to 
thy  ^friend  ?  why  wentest  thou 
not  with  thy  friend  ? 

18  And  "Hu'shai  «''-'said  unto 


Ab'sa-lom,  Nay;  but  whom  the 
Lord,  and  this  people,  and  all 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  choose,  his 
will  I  be,  and  with  him  will  I 
abide. 

19  And  again,  whom  should  1 
serve  ?  should  I  not  sei've  in  the 
presence  of  his  son  ?  'as  I  have 
served  in  thy  father's  presence, 
so  will  I  be  in  thy  presence. 

20  T[  Then  said  ^Ab'sa-lom 
to  "A-hith'o-phcl,  Give  counsel 
among  you  what  we  shall  do. 

21  And  ''A-hith'o-phel  said  un- 
to ^Ab'sa-lom,  Go  in  unto  thy 
father's  "concubines,  which  he 
hath  left  to  keep  the  house;  and 
all  Is'ra-el  shall  hear  that  thou 
art  abhorred  of  thy  father:  then 
shall  the  hands  of  all  that  are 
with  thee  be  strong. 

22  So  they  spread  ^Ab'sa-lom  a 
tent  upon  the  top  of  the  ''house; 
and  Ab'sa-lom  '"went  in  unto  his 
father's  "concubines  in  the  sight 
of  all  Ls'ra-el. 

23  And  the  ^counsel  of  "A- 
hith'o-phel,  which  he  counsel- 
led in  those  days,  was  as  if  a 
man  had  enquired  at  the  oracle 
of  God :  so  tvas  all  the  counsel  of 
A-hith'o-phel  both  with  Da'vid 
and  with  Ab'sa-lom.

Ahlthophel's  counsel  is  defeated  by  Hushal. 
15  Secret  intelligence  is  sent  unto  David. 
23  Ahithophel  hangs  himself.  24  Absa-

of  "Is'ra-el.

unto  him,  saying,  ''A-hith'o-

saying  ?  if  not;  speak  thou. 

7  And  "Hu'shai  Wd  unto

8  'Tor,  said  Hu'shai,  thou

that  they  be  mighty  men,  and 
they  be  chafed  in  their  minds,  as 
a  *bear  robbed  of  her  whelps  in

of  war,  and  will  not  lodge  with 
the  people. 

9  Behold,  he  is  hid  now  in  some 
pit,  or  in  some  other  place:  and  it 
will  come  to  pass,  when  some  of 
them  be  overthrown  at  the  first,

bring  ropes  to  that  city,  and  we 
will  draw  it  into  the  river,  until 
there  be  not  one  small  stt)ne 
found  there. 

14  And '^'Ab'sa-lom  and  all  the 
men  of  Is'ra-el  said.  The  *coun- 
sel  of  ''Hu'shai  the  Ar'chlte  is 
better  than  the  counsel  of 
"A-hith'o-phel.  For  the  Lord 
'"had  appointed  to  defeat  the 
good  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phcl,  to 
the  intent  that  the  Lord  might 
bring  evil  upon  Ab'sa-lom. 

15  If  ""Then  said  ''Ila'shai  un- 
to ^Za'dok  and  to  ^A-bl'a-thar 
the  '■priests,  Thus  and  thus  iWd 
''A-hTth'o-phel  "counsel  -^Ab'sa- 
lom  and  tlie  'elders  of  ^Is'ra-el; 
and  thus  and  thus  have  I  coun- 
selled. 

16  '^•''Now  therefore  send 
quickly,  and  tell  ^Da'vid,  say- 
ing. Lodge  not  this  night  4n 
the  plains  of  the  wilderness,  but 
speedily  pass  over;  lest  the  king 
l)e  swallowed  up,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple that  are  with  him. 

17  Now  'Jon'a-than  and  'A- 
him'a-az  stayed  by  "Ln-ro'- 
gel;  for  tliey  might  not  be  seen 
to  come  into  the  city:  and  a 
wench  went  and  told  them;  and 
they  went  and  told  king  *Da/vid. 

18  Nevertheless  a  lad  saw  tiiem, 
and  told  ''Ab'sa-lom:  but  they 
went  both  of  them  away  quickly, 
and  came  to  a  man's  house  in

20  And  when  '^Ab'sa-lom's 
servants  came  to  the  woman 
to  the  house,  tliey  said,  Where 
is  '  A-him'a-az  and  *  Jon'a-than  ? 
And  the  woman  ^said  unto 
them.  They  be  gone  over  the 
brook  of  water.  And  when  they 
had  sought  and  could  not  find 
them,  they  returned  to  ^Je-ru'-

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  after 
they  were  departed,  that  *''they 
came  up  out  of  the  well,  and 
"•"went  and  told  king  ''Da'vid, 
and  said  unto  Da'vid,  Arise,  and 
pass  (]uickly  over  the  water:  for 
thus  hath  A-liTth'o-phel  coun- 
selled against  you. 

22  Then  Da'vid  arose,  and  all 
the  people  that  were  with  him, 
and  they  passed  over  ^Jor'dan : 
by  the  morning  light  there  lack- 
ed not  one  of  them  that  was  not 
gone  over  Jor'dan. 

23  If  And  »•^vhen  ^\-hith'o-

not  followed,  he  saddled  his  ass, 
and  arose,  and  gat  him  home  to

his  household  in  order,  and 
^hanged  himself,  and  died,  and 
was  buried  in  the  sepulchre  of

thou  succour  us  out  of  the  city. 

4  And  the  king  said  unto  them, 
What  seemeih  you  best  I  will  do. 
And  the  king  stood  by  the  gate- 
side,  and  all  the  people  came  out 
by  hundreds  and  by  thousands. 

5  And  the  king  "commanded 
^Jo'ab  and  *A-bish'a-I  and  ^t'- 
ta-I,  sa}-ing,  Deal  gently  for  my 
sake  with  the  young  man,  even 
with  "Ab'sa-lom.  And  all  the 
people  heard  when  the  king 
gave  all  the  captains  charge 
concerning   Ab'sa-lom. 

6  ^  'So  the  people  went  out  in- 
to the  field  against  Is'ra-el:  and 
the  battle  was  in  the  wood  of 
E'phra-im ; 

7  ''Where  the  people  of  ^Is'ra-el 
were  slain  before  the  servants  of 
"Da'vid,  and  there  was  there  a 
great  slaughter  that  day  of  twen- 
ty thousand  m/m. 

8  *For  the  battle  was  there  scat- 
tered over  the  face  of  all  the 
country:  and  the  wood  devoured 
more  people  that  day  than  the 
sword  devoured. 

9  II  And  "Ab'sa-lom  met  the 
servants  of  ''Da'vid.  And  Ab'- 
sa-lom  rode  upon  a  mule,  and 
the  *mule  went  under  the  thick 
boughs  of  a  great  "oak,  and  his

^Jo'ab,  Though  1  should  receive 
a  thousand  ^shekels  of  silver  in 
mine  hand,  yet  would  I  not  put 
forth  mine  hand  against  the 
king's  son:  for  in  our  hearing  the 
"king  charged  thee  and  *A-bish'- 
a-I  and  ^It'ta-I,  saying,  Beware 
that  none  tauch  the  young  man 
"Ab'sa-lom. 

13  Otherwise  -I  should  have 
wrought  falsehood  against  mine 
own  life:  for  there  is  no  matter 
liid  from  the  king,  ^and  thou 
thyself  wouldest  have  set  thyself 
against  me. 

14  Then  said  ^Jo'ab,  I  may  not 
tarry  thus  with  thee.  And  he 
took  three  ^darts  in  his  hand, 
antl  thrust  them  through  the 
heart  of  "x^b'sa-lom,  while  he 
was  yet  alive  in  the  midst  of 
the  "oak. 

15  And  ten  '^young  men  that 
bare  "Jo'ab's  armour  compassed 
about  and  *smote  Ab'sa-l6m,and 
slew  him. 

16  And  "Jo'ab  blew  the  'trump- 
et, and  the  peo])le  returned  from 
pursuing  after  'T.s'ra-el:  for  Jo'- 
ab  held  back  the  people. 

17  And  they  took  "Ab'sa-loin, 
and  cast  him  into  a  great  "pit  in 
the  wood,  and  laid  a  very  great 
heap  of  stones  upon  him:  and  all 
'Ts'ra-el  fled  every  one  to  his

and  bear  the  king  tidings,  how 
that  the  Lord  hath  avenged 
him  of  his  enemies. 

20  And  ''Jo'ab  said  unto  him, 
Thou  shalt  not  bear  tidings  this 
day,  but  thou  shalt  bear  tidings 
another  day:  but  this  day  thou 
shalt  bear  no  tidings,  because 
the  king's  son  is  dead. 

21  Then  said  ''Jo'ab  to  Cu'shi, 
Go  tell  the  king  what  thou  hast 
seen.  And  Cii'shi  bowed  him- 
self unto  J5'ab,  and  ran. 

22  Then  said  ^A-him'a-az  the

"Jd'ab,  But  howsoever,  let  me,  I 
pray  thee,  also  run  after  Cu'shi. 
And  Jo'ab  said,  Wherefore  wilt 
thou  run,  my  son,  seeing  that 
thou  •''hast  no  tidings  ready  ? 

23  But  iiowsoever,  said  he,  let 
me  run.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Run.  Then  ^A-him'a-az  ran  by 
the  way  of  the  plain,  and  overran 
Cu'shi. 

24  And  "Da'vid  sat  between  the

went  up  to  the  roof  over  the  gate 
unto  the  wall,  and  lifted  up  his

25  And  the  ^watchman  cried, 
and  told  the  ''king.  And  the  king 
said,  If  he  he  alone,  tlicre  is  tid-

''A-him'a-az  the  son  of  "^Za'dok. 
And  the  king  said.  He  is  a  good 
man,  and  cometL  with  good 
tidings. 

28  And  *A-him'a-az  called,  and 
said  unto  the  "king.  All  is  well. 
And  he  ''fell  down  to  the  earth 
upon  his  face  before  the  king, 
and  said.  Blessed  he  the  Lord 
thy  God,  which  hath  ''delivered 
up  the  men  that  lifted  up  their 
hand  against  my  lord  the  king. 

29  i\.nd  the  king  said.  Is  the 
young  man  ^Ab'sa-lom  safe  ? 
And  ''A-him'a-az  answered, 
When  "Jo'ab  sent  the  king's 
se^want,  and  me  thy  servant,  1 
saw  a  great  tumult,  but  I  knew 
not  what  it  ivas. 

30  And  the  king  said  vrito  him, 
Turn  aside,  and  stand  here.  x\nd 
he  turned  aside,  and  stood  still. 

31  And,  behold,  Cii'shI  came; 
and  Cii'shi  said.  Tidings,  my 
lord  the  '^king:  for  the  Lord 
hath  avenged  thee  this  day  of 
all  them  that  rose  up  against 
thee. 

32  And  the  king  said  unto  Cii'- 
shl.  Is  the  young  man  ''Ab'sa- 
lom  safe  ?  And  Cu'shi  an- 
swered, The  enemies  of  my  lord 
the  king,  and  all  that  rise  against 
thee  to  do  thee  hurt,  be  as  that 
young  man  is. 

33  Tf  ''And  the  "king  was  much 
moved,  and  went  up  to  the 
'chamber  over  the  gate,  and 
'•  '''wept :  and  as  he  went,  'thus  he 
said,  O  my  son  Ab'sa-lom,  my 
son,  my  son  Ab'sa-lom!  would 
God  I  had  died  for  thee,  O  Ab'- 
sa-lom, mv  son,  mvson!

CHAPTER  19 

Joab  causes  the  king  to  cease  his  mourning. 
9  The  Israelites  briny  tne  king  bach.  11 
David  sends  to  incite  the  men  of  J udah. 
18  Sliiinei  is  pardoned.  1'4  Mephibo- 
slieth  is  restored  to  his  possessions  in  p(,rt. 
32  Barzillal's  kindness  is  remembered. 
41  I'he  Israelites  c.rposliiiate  wlthJudah 
for  bringing  home  thf  king  without  them. 

AND  it  was  told  °Jo'ab,  Be- 
hold,  the    *king    weepeth 
and  ''•'^mourneth  for  *Ab'sa-l6in. 

2  And  the  victory  that  day  was 
turned  into  ''mourning  unto  all 
the  people:  ''for  the  people  heard 
say  that  day  how  the  king  was 
grieved  for  his  son. 

3  ^And  the  people  gat  them  by 
stealth  that  day  into  the  city,  as 
people  being  ashamed  steal  away 
when  they  flee  in  battle. 

4  But  the  *king  covered  his 
face,  and  the  king  '^•'^cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  O  my  son  Ab'sa-l5m, 
O  Ab'sa-lom,  my  son,  ray  son! 

5  And  "'^Jd'ab  came  into  the 
house  to  the  king,  and  ''•^■^'said, 
Thou  hast  shamed  this  day  the 
faces  of  all  thy  servants,  which 
this  day  have  saved  thy  life,  and 
the  lives  of  thy  sons  and  of  thy 
daughters,  and  the  lives  of  thy 
'''wives,  and  the  lives  of  thy  ^con- 
cubines : 

6  ''"'In  that  thou  lovest  thine 
'"enemies,  and  hatest  thy  friends. 
For  thou  hast  declared  this  day, 
that  thou  regardest  neither  prin- 
ces nor  servants:  for  this  day  I 
perceive,  that  if  Ab'sa-lom  had 
lived,  and  all  we  had  died  this 
day,  then  it  had  pleased  thee 
well. 

7  ^'^Now  therefore  arise,  go 
forth,  and  speak  comfortably 
unto  thy  servants:  for  I  '^swear 
by  the  IvORD,  if  thou  go  not 
forth,  there  will  not  tarry  one 
with  thee  this  night:  and  that 
will  be  worse  unto  thee  than  all 
the  evil  that  befell  thee  from  thy 
vouth  until  now. 


8  Then  the  king  arose,  and  sat 
in  the  "gate.  And  they  told  unto 
all  the  people,  saying,  Behold, 
the  king  doth  sit  in  the  gate. 
x\nd  all  the  people  came  before 
the  king:  for  Is'ra-el  had  fled 
every  man  to  his  tent. 

9  ^  And  all  the  people  were  at 
strife  throughout  all  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying.  The  "king  saved 
us  out  of  the  hand  of  our  ene- 
mies, and  he  delivered  us  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  ^Phi-lis'tines ; 
and  now  he  is  fled  out  of  the  land 
for  Ab'sa-lom. 

10  And  '^Ab'sa-lom,  whom  we 
anointed  over  us,  is  dead  in  bat- 
tle. Now  therefore  why  speak 
ye  not  a  M^ord  of  bringing  the 
king  back  ? 

1 1  T[  And  king  *Da'vid  sent  to 
*Za'd6k  and  to  '?A-bl'a-thar  the 
'■piiests,  *saying.  Speak  unto  the 
'elder?  of  Ju'dah,  saying,  Why 
are  ye  the  last  to  bring  the  king 
back  to  his  house  ?  seeing  the 
speech  of  all  Ls'ra-el  is  come  to 
the  king  ^even  to  his  house. 

12  Ye  are  my  brethren,  ye  are 
my  bones  and  my  flesh:  where- 
fore then  are  ye  the  last  to  bring 
back  the  king  ? 

13  *And  say  ye  to  ''Am'a-sa, 
"Art  thou  not  of  my  bone,  and  of 
my  flesh  ?  God  do  so  to  me,  and 
more  also,  if  ^thou  be  not  ^cap- 
tain of  the  host  before  me  con- 
tinually in  the  room  of  "Jo'ab. 

14  And  he  bowed  the  heart  of 
all  the  men  of  ^Ju'dah,  even  as 
the  heart  of  one  man ;  so  that  they 
sent  //??',?  word  anto  the  king.  Re- 
turn thou,  and  all  thy  servants. 

15  So  the  king  returned,  and 
came  to  ^Jor'dan.  And  "Ju'dah 
came  to  ''Gil'gal,  to  go  to  meet 
the  king,  to  conduct  the  king 
over  Jor'dan.

''Ge'ra,  a  '^Ben'ja-mite,  which  ivas 
of  'Ba-hu'rim,  hasted  and  came 
down  with  the  men  of  Ju'dah 
to  meet  king  ^Dil'vid. 

17  And  there  were  a  thousand 
men  of  ''Bcn'ja-min  with  him, 
and  "Zl'ba  the  servant  of  the 
house  of  'Saul,  and  his  fifteen 
sons  and  his  twenty  servants 
with  him;  and  they  went  over 
Mor'dan  before  the  king. 

18  And  there  went  over  a  ferry 
*boat  to  carry  over  the  king's 
household,  and  to  do  what  he 
thoxight  good.  And  '^Shim'e-I  the 
son  of  ''Ge'ra  fell  down  before 
the  king,  as  he  was  come  over 
Jor'dan; 

19  x\nd  said  unto  the  king,  Let 
not  my  lord  impute  iniquity  unto 
me,  neither  do  thou  remember 
that  which  thy  servant  did  per- 
versely the  day  that  my  lord  the 
king  went  out  of  'Je-ru'sa-lem, 
that  the  king  should  take  it  to 
his  heart. 

20  For  thy  servant  doth  know 
that  I  have  sinned :  therefore,  be- 
hold, I  am  come  the  first  this  day 
of  all  the  house  of  Jo'seph  to  go 
down  to  meet  my  lord  the  king. 

21  But  '"A-bish'a-I  the  son  of 
"Zer-u-i'ah  answered  and  said. 
Shall  not  ''Shim'e-i  be  put  to 
"death  for  this,  because  he 
cursed  the  Lord's  ^anointed  ? 

22  And  ''Da'vid  said,  What 
have  I  to  do  with  you,  ye  sons  of 
Zer-u-i'ah,  that  ye  should  this 
day  be  adversaries  unto  me? 
shall  there  any  man  be  put  to 
death  this  day  in  ^I.s'ra-el  ?  for 
do  not  I  know  that  I  am  this 
day  king  over  Ls'ra-el  ? 

23  Therefore  the  ''king  said 
unto  ^Shim'e-T,  +-*-'Thou  shalt 
not  die.  And  the  king  sware 
unto  him. 

24  t  And  "Me-phib'o"sheth  the 
son  of  'Saul  came  down  to 
meet  the  ^king,  and  had  neither 

t  AMNESTY,  tor  political  offenses 


dressed  his  feet,  nor  trimmed  his 
beard,  nor  washed  his  clothes, 
from  the  day  the  king  departed 
until  the  day  he  came  again  in 
peace. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  was  come  to  'Je-rii'sa,-lem 
to  meet  the  king,  that  the  king 
said  unto  him,  Wherefore  went- 
est  not  thou  with  me,  "Me- 
phib'o-sheth  ? 

26  And  he  answered,  My  lord, 
O  king,  my  "servant  deceived 
me:  for  thy  servant  said,  I  will 
saddle  me  an  ass,  that  I  may 
ride  thereon,  and  go  ^to  the 
king;  because  thy  servant  is 
lame. 

27  And  he  hath  '"slandered  thy 
servant  unto  my  lord  the  king; 
but  my  lord  the  king  is  as  an 
angel  of  God:  do  therefore  tvl,at 
is  good  in  thine  eyes. 

28  For  all  of  my  father's  house 
were  but  dead  men  before  my 
lord  the  king:  yet  didst  thou  set 
thy  servant  among  them  that  did 
eat  at  thine  own  table.  What 
right  therefore  have  I  yet  to  cry 
any  more  unto  the  Idng  ? 

29  And  the  king  said  unto  him. 
Why  speakest  thou  any  more  of 
thy  matters  ?  I  have  said.  Thou 
and  "Zl'ba  divide  the  land. 

30  And  "Me-phib'o-sheth  said 
unto  the  king,  Yea,  let  him  take 
all,  forasmuch  as  my  lord  the 
Idng  is  come  again  in  peace  unto 
his  own  house. 

31  "^  And  ^Biir-ziria-I  the  Gil'- 
e-ad-Ite  came  down  from  ^Ro- 
ge'lim,  and  went  over  Mor'dan 
with  the  king,  to  conduct  him 
over  Jor'dan. 

32  Now  ^Bar-zil'la-i  was  a 
^very  aged  man,  even  fourscore 
years  old:  and  ''•"he  '^had  pro- 
vided the  king  of  sustenance 
while  he  lay  at  '^Ma-ha-na'im ; 
for  he  was  a  very  great  man.

with  me  in  ''Je-ru'sii-lcm. 

34  And  "Bar-zil'la-I  said  unto 
the  ^king,  How  long  htive  I  to 
live,  that  I  should  go  up  with  the 
king  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  ? 

35  I  am  thi.s  tlay  fourscore  years 
'old:  and  can  I  discern  between 
good  and  evil  ?  can  thy  servant 
taste  what  I  eat  or  what  I  drink  ? 
can  I  hear  any  more  the  'voice  of 
singing  men  and  singing  wom- 
en ?  wherefore  then  should  thy 
servant  be  yet  a  burden  unto  my 
lord  the  king  ? 

36  Thy  servant  will  go  a  little 
way  over  '' Jor'dan  with  the  Iciiig: 
and  why  should  the  king  recom- 
pense it  me  with  such  a  rewar  1  ? 

37  T.,et  thy  servant,  I  pray  thee, 
turn  back  again,  that  I  may  die 
in  mine  own  city,  and  he  burial 
by  the  '"grave  of  my  father  and 
of  my  mother.  But  behold  thy 
servant  "Chim'hjim;  ''let  him  go 
over  with  my  lord  the  king;  and 
do  to  him  what  shall  seem  good 
unto  thee. 

38  And  the  '^king  answered, 
"Chim'ham  shall  go  over  with 
me,  and  I  will  do  to  him  that 
which  shall  seem  good  unto  thee : 
and  'whatsoever  thou  shalt  re- 
quire of  me,  tlial  will  I  do  for 
thee. 

39  And  all  the  people  went  over 
'Jor'dan.  And  when  the  *king 
was  come  over,  the  king  "kissed 
"Bar-zil'la-i,  and  '^blessed  him; 
and  he  returned  unto  his  own 
place. 

40  Then  the  *king  went  on  to 
''Ctl'gal,  and  '^Chim'ham  went 
on  with  him:  and  all  the  people 
of  Ju'dah  conducted  the  king, 
and  also  half  the  people  of  Is'- 
ra-el. 

41  ^  And,  behold,  ''all  the  men 
of  *I.s'ra-el  came  to  the  ^king, 
and  said  unto  the  king,  'Why 
have  our  brethren  the  men  of 


"Ju'dah  stolen  thee  away,  and 
have  brought  the  long,  and 
his  household,  and  all  ''Da'vid's 
men  with  him,  over  ^^Jor'dan  ? 

42  And  all  the  men  of  "jQ'dah 
answered  the  men  of  *Ls'ra-el. 
Because  the  king  is  near  of  kin 
to  us:  wherefore  then  be  ye  "an- 
gry for  this  matter  ?  have  we 
eaten  at  all  of  the  king's  costt 
or  hath  he  given  us  any  gift  ? 

43  ''And  the  men  of  *I.s'ra-el  an- 
swered the  men  of  "Ju'dah,  and 
said.  We  have  ten  parts  in  the 
Iviiig,  and  we  have  also  more 
ricjJit  in  Da'vid  than  ye:  why 
the.i  did  ye  despise  us,  that  our 
advice  should  not  be  first  had  in 
bringing  back  our  king  ?  And 
the  words  of  the  men  of  Ju'dah 
were  fiercer  than  the  words  of 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el.

AND  there  happened  to  be 
there  a  man  of  Be'ri-al, 
whose  name  was  "She'ba,  the 
son  of  Bich'ii,  a  Bcn'ja-mlte: 
and  he  blew  a  ''trumpet,  and 
'^said,  We  have  no  part  in  ''Da'- 
vid, neither  have  we  inheritance 
in  the  son  of  Jes'se:  every  man  to 
his  tents,  O  '^ is'ra-el. 

2  So  every  man  of  *I.s'ra-cl  went 
up  from  after  '^Da'vid,  and  fol- 
lowed '^She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri: 
but  the  men  of  Mu'dah  clave  un-

keep  the  house,  and  put  them  in 
ward,  and  fed  them,  but  went 
not  in  unto  them.  So  they  were 
shut  up  unto  the  day  of  their 
death,  living  in  widowhood.

4  t  Then  said  the  ''king  to 
'Am'a-Sci,  ^Assemble  me  the 
men  of  'Ju'dah  within  three 
days,  and  be  thou  here  present. 

5  So  'Am'a-sa  went  to  ^assem- 
ble tJie  iiun  of  Ju'dah:  but  he 
tarried  longer  than  the  set  time 
which  he  had  appointed  him. 

6  And  '^Da'vid  said  to  'A-bish'- 
a-I,  Now  shall  "She'ba  the  son  of 
Bich'rl  do  us  more  harm  than 
did  '"Ab'sa-lom:  take  thou  thy 
lord's  servants,  and  pursue  after 
him,  lest  he  get  him  fenced  cit- 
ies, and  escape  us. 

7  And  there  went  out  after  him 
Jo'ab's  men,  and  the  "ChSr'e- 
thltes,  and  the  Pel'e-thltes,  and 
all  the  mighty  men:  and  they 
went  out  of  '^Je-rii'sa-lSm,  to 
pursue  after  "She'ba  the  son  of 
Bich'ri. 

8  When  they  were  at  the  great 
"stone  which  is  in  Gib'e-on, 
'Am'a-sa  'went  before  them. 
And  Jo'alj's  garment  that  he 
had  put  on  was  girded  unto  him, 
and  upon  it  a  ^girdle  ivith  a 
'sword  fastened  upon  his  loins 
in  the  sheath  thereof;  and  as  he 
went  forth  it  fell  out. 

9  And  Jo'ab  said  to  'Am'a-sa, 
^Art  thou  in  health,  my  brother  ? 
And  Jo'ab  took  Am'a-sa  by  the 
beard  with  the  right  hand  to 
'■•*kiss  him. 

10  But  'Am'a-sa  took  no  heed 
to  the  sword  that  %vas  in  Jo'Sb's 
hand:  ^-"so  he  "-'"smote  him 
there\\ath  in  the  ^fifth  rib,  and 
shed  out  his  bowels  to  the 
ground,  and  struck  him  not 
again;  and  he  died.  So  Jo'ab 
and  M-bish'a-i  his  brother  pur- 
sued after  She'ba  the  son  of 
Bich'ri. 

11  And  one  of  Jo'ab's  men 
stood  by  him,  and  said,  He  that 
favoureth  Jo'ab,  and  he  that  is  for 
'^Da'vid,  Irf  him.  go  after  Jo'ab. 


12  And  'Am'a-sa  wallowed  in 
blood  in  the  midst  of  the  high- 
way. And  when  the  man  saw 
that  all  the  people  stood  still,  he 
removed  Am'a-sa  out  of  the 
highway  into  the  field,  and  cast 
a  cloth  upon  him,  when  he  saw 
that  every  one  that  came  by  him 
stood  still. 

13  When  he  was  removed  out  of 
the  highway,  all  the  people  went 
on  after  Jo'ab,  to  pursue  after 
Siie'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri. 

14  ^  And  he  went  through  all 
the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  unto  ^A'bel, 
and  to  Beth-ma'a-chah,  and  all 
the  Be'rites :  and  they  were  gath- 
ered together,  and  went  also 
after   him. 

15  And  they  came  and  ''be- 
sieged him  in  ^A'bel  of  Beth- 
ma'a-chah,  and  they  cast  up  a 
band  against  the  city,  and  it 
stood  '*in  the  trench :  and  all  the 
people  that  were  with  Jo'ab  ^bat- 
tered the  "wall,  to  throw  it  down. 

16  ^  ''•'^Then  cried  a  wise 
''woman  out  of  the  city.  Hear, 
hear;  say,  I  pray  you,  unto 
*j6'ab.  Come  near  hither,  that 
I  may  speak  with  thee. 

17  And  when  he  was  come 
near  unto  her,  the  ''woman  said. 
Art  thou  Mo'ab?  And  he  an- 
swered, I  am  he.  Then  '^she 
said  unto  him.  Hear  the  words 
of  thy  handmaid.  And  he  an- 
swered, I  do  hear. 

18  Then  she  *''^spake,  sa}ing, 
They  were  wont  to  speak  in  old 
time,  saying,  ''They  shall  surely 
ask  counsel  at  A'bf  1 :  and  so  they 
ended  the  matter. 

19  "I  am  one  of  them  that  are 
peaceable  and  faithful  in  Ls'- 
ra-el:  thou  seekest  to  destroy  a 
city  and  a  mother  in  Is'ra-el: 
why  wilt  thou  swallow  up  the 
inheritance  of  the  Lord  ?

said,  Far  be  it,  far  be  it  from 
me,  that  I  should  swallow  up 
or  destroy. 

21  The  matter  w  not  so:  but  a 
man  of  mount  ''E'phra-ira,  'She'- 
hii  the  son  of  Bich'ri  by  name, 
hath  lifted  up  his  hand  against 
the  king,  even  against  'Da'vid: 
deliver  him  only,  and  I  will  de- 
part from  the  city.  And  the 
'^'^woman  said  unto  ^Jo'ab,  Be- 
hold, his  head  shall  be  thrown  to 
thee  over  the  wall. 

22  Then  the  ''•''woman  went 
unto  all  the  people  in  her  wis- 
dom. And  they  cut  off  the  head 
of  Shr-'ba  the  son  of  Bich'rl,  and 
cast  it  out  to  Jo'ab.  And  he 
blew  a  trumpet,  and  they  retired 
from  the  city,  every  man  to  his 
tent.  And  ^Jo'ab  returned  to 
'^  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the  king. 

23  T[  'Xow  ^  Jo'ab  was  over  all

Four  battles  aqalnst  the  Philistines, 
wherein  four  giants  are  slain. 

THEN  there  was  a  ''•^- '^fam- 
ine in  the  days  of  '^Da'vid 
three  years,  year  after  year;  and 
Da'vid  'enquired  of  the  Lord. 
And  the  Lord  answered,  ^It  is 


for  ''Saul,  and  for  his  bloody 
house,  because  he  slew  the  Gib'- 
e-on-ites. 

2  And  the  ''king  called  the  Gib'- 
e-on-ites,  and  said  unto  them; 
(now  the  Gib'e-on-Ites  were  not 
of  the  children  of  Is^ra-el,  but  of 
the  remnant  of  the  ''Am'or-Ites; 
and  the  children  of  Ts'ra-el  had 
'sworn  unto  them:  and  "Saul 
sought  to  slay  them  in  his  zeal 
to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and 
Ju'dah.) 

3  Wherefore  Da'vid  said  unto 
the  Gib'e-on-Ites,  What  shall  I 
tlo  for  you  ?  and  wherewith  shall 
I  make  the  '^atonement,  that  ye 
may  bless  the  inheritance  of  the 
Lord? 

4  And  the  Gib'e-on-Ites  said 
unto  him,  We  will  have  no  sil- 
ver nor  gold  of  Saul,  nor  of  his 
house ;  neither  ^for  us  shalt  thou 
kill  any  man  in  Is'ra-el.  And  he 
said,  What  ye  shall  say,  that  will 
I  do  for  you. 

5  And  they  answered  the  king, 
The  man  that  consumed  us,  and 
that  devised  against  us  that  we 
should  be  destroyed  from  re- 
niaining  in  any  of  the  'coasts  of 
Is'ra-el, 

6  Let  seven  men  of  his  sons  be 
delivered  unto  us,  and  we  will 
hang  them  up  unto  the  IvOrd  in 
Gib'e-ah  of  Saul,  whom  the 
Lord  did  choose.  And  the  king 
said,  I  will  give  them. 

7  But  the  ''king  spared  'Me- 
phib'o-sheth,  the  son  of  '"JSn'a- 
than  the  son  of  ''Saul,  because  of 
the  Lord's  ^' ''oath  that  was  be-

"A-i'ah,  whom  she  bare  unto 
''Suul,  Ar-mo'ni  and  'Me-phib'- 
o-sheth;  and  the  five  sons  of 
^Mfchal  the  daughter  of  Saul, 
whom  she  ^brought  up  for 
*A'dri-el  the  son  of  Bar-zil'la-I 
the   «Me-h6l'ath-Ite: 

9  And  he  delivered  them  into 
the  hands  of  the  Gib'e-on-Ites, 
and  they  hanged  them  in  the 
hill  before  the  Lord:  and  they 
fell  all  seven  together,  and  were 
put  to  death  in  the  days  of  har- 
vest, in  the  first  dajis,  in  the  be- 
ginning of  barley  harvest. 

10  II  And  "•  '^Riz'pah  the  daugh- 
ter of  "A-I'ah  took  sackcloth, 
and  spread  it  for  her  upon  the 
rock,  from  the  lieginning  of  har- 
vest until  water  dropped  upon 
them  out  of  heaven,  and  suffered 
neither  the  birds  of  the  air  to 
rest  on  them  by  day,  nor  the 
beasts  of  the  field  by  night. 

11  And  it  was  told  '^Da'vid 
what  RTz'pah  the  daughter  of 
A-I'ah,  the  *concubine  of  Saul, 
had   done. 

12  And  '^Da'vid  went  and  took 
the  bones  of  ^Saul  and  the  bones 
of  '"Jon'a-than  his  son  from  the 
men  of  Ma'besh-gil'e-ad,  which 
had  stolen  them  from  the  street 
of  'Beth'-shan,  where  the  «Phi- 
iTs'tine.s  had  hanged  them,  when 
the  PliT-lis'tines  had  slain  Saul 
in  ''Gil-bo'a: 

13  And  he  brought  up  from 
thence  the  bones  of  ''Saul  and 
the  bones  of  '"Jon'a-than  his  son ; 
and  they  gathered  the  bones  of 
them   that  were  hanged. 

14  And  the  bones  of  Saul  and 
Jon'a-than  his  son  ^buried  they 
in  the  country  of  ^'Ben'ja-mm  in 
^Ze'lah,  in  the  sepulchre  of 
^KTsh  his  father:  and  they  per- 
formed all  that  the  kins  com- 


manded.    And  after  that  God 
was  intreated  for  the  land. 

15  ^  jNIoreover  the  "Phi-hs'- 
tines  had  yet  "war  again  with 
Is'ra-el;  and  "^Dii'vid  went  down, 
and  his  servants  with  him,  and 
fought  against  the  Phi-hs'tines : 
and   Da'vid  waxed  faint. 

16  And  Tsh'bi-be'nob,  which 
was  of  the  sons  of  the  giant,  the 
weight  of  whose  spear  weighed 
three  hundred  shekels  of  brass  in 
Aveight,  he  being  girded  with  a 
new  sword,  thought  to  have 
slain    Da'vid. 

17  But  '^A-bish'a-I  the  son  of 
Zer-u-i'ah  succoured  him,  and 
smote  the  "Phi-lis'tine,  and 
killed  him.  ''Then  the  ''men  of 
Da'vid  sware  unto  him,  saying, 
Thou  shalt  go  no  more  out  with 
us  to  battle,  that  thou  quench 
not  the  light  of  Is'ra-el. 

18  And  it.  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  there  was  again  a  battle 
with  the  "Phi-lis'tTne§  at  ''Gob: 
then  ''Sib'be-chai  the  Hu'shath- 
ite  slew  'Sapli,  wliich  was  of  the 
sons  of  the  giant. 

19  And  there  was  again  a  bat- 
tle in  ''Gob  with  the  «Phi-lis'- 
tincs,  where  ^El-ha'nan  the  son 
of  Ja-ar'e-6r'e-gim,  a  Bcth'- 
le-hem-Ite,  slew  Hhe  brother  of 
'Go-lT'ath  the  Git'tlte,  the  staff 
of  whose  'spear  was  like  a 
'"weaver's   'M:)eam. 

20  And  there  was  yet  a  battle  in 
"Gath,  where  was  a  man  of  great 
stature,  that  had  on  every  hand 
six  fingers,  and  on  every  foot  six 
^toes,  four  and  twenty  in  num- 
ber; and  he  also  was  born  to  the 
giant. 

21  And  when  "^he  defied  I.s'- 
ra-el,  ''Jon'a-than  the  son  of 
^Shim'e-ah  the  brother  of  Da'vid 
slew  him.

CHAPTER  22 

David's  psalm  of  thanksgiving  to  God  for 
his  deliverance,  and  manifold  blessings. 

AND  "Dfi'vid  "spal^e  unto 
the  Lord  the  words  of 
this  '"•"song  in  the  day  that  the 
Lord  had  '■-'deUvered  him  out 
of  the  hand  of  aU  his  enemies, 
and  out  of  the  hand  of  Saul: 

2  And  he  said,  '"■^The  ^Lord  is 
my  ''rock,  and  my  'fortress,  and 
my  tlcliverer; 

3  The  Clod  of  my  ''rock;  ^in  him 
will  I  trust:  he  is  my  ^shield,  and 
the  ''horn  of  my  'salvation,  my 
high  '"tower,  and  my  refuge,  my 
^spviour;  thou  savest  me  fi'om 
violence. 

4  I  will  call  on  the  IvORD,  who 
is  worthy  to  be  ''i)raised:  so  shall 
I  be  saved  from  mine  enemies. 

5  When  the  waves  of  death 
eompassed  me,  the  floods  of  'un- 
godly men  made  me  afraid; 

6  The  -sorrows  of  "hell  com- 
passed me  about;  the  snares  of 
death  ^prevented  me; 

7  In  my  "distress  I  ^called  upon 
the  Lord,  and  cried  to  my  Ciod: 
and  he  did  hear  my  voice  out  of 
his  ten^ple,  and  my  cry  did  enter 
into  his  ears. 

8  Then  the  earth  .sliook  and 
trembled;  the  foundations  of 
heaven  moved  and  shook,  be- 
cause he  was  ''wroth. 

9  There  went  uj)  a  smoke  out  of 
his  nostrils,  and  fire  out  of  his 
mouth  devoured:  coals  were  kin- 
dled by  it. 

10  He  bowed  the  heavens  also, 
and  came  down;  and  darkness 
ivas  under  his  feet. 

11  And  he  rode  upon  a  cherul), 
and  did  fly:  and  he  was  seen  up- 
on the  wings  of  the  wind. 

12  Aiul  he  made  darkness  pa- 
vilions round  about  him,  ^dark 


waters,  and  thick  clouds  of  the 
skies. 

13  Through  the  brightness  be- 
fore hi  ill  were  coals  of  fire  kin- 
dled. 

14  The  Lord  thundered  from 
heaven,  and  the  most  High 
uttered   his    voice. 

15  And  he  .sent  out  arrows,  and 
scattered  them;  hghtuing,  and 
discomfited  them. 

IG  And  the  channels  of  the  '^sea 
appeared,  the  foundations  of 
the  world  were  discovered,  at 
the  rebuking  of  the  *Lord,  at 
the  blast  of  the  'breath  of  his 
iiosti'ils. 

17  He  sent  from  al)Ove,  he  took 
me;  he  drew  me  out  of  many 
"waters ; 

18  '^He  ^"delivered  me  from  my 
strong  enemy,  and  from  them 
that  hated  me:  Un-  they  were  too 
strong  for  me. 

19  They  ''jii-e vented  me  in  the 
day  of  my  calamity:  but  the 
Lord  was  my  stay. 

20  He  brought  me  forth  also 
into  a  large  place:  he  '"delivered 
me,  because  ■''he  delighted  in  me. 

21  The  Lord  rewarded  me 
according  to  my  righteousness: 
according  to  the  cleanness  o*'  my 
hands  hath  he  recompensed  me. 

22  For  I  ^^have  kept  the  ways 
of  the  Lord,  and  have  not  wick- 
edly departed  from  my  (lod. 

2.'>  For  all  his  judgments  were 
before  me:  and  r/.v  /or  his  stat- 
utes, I  ''did  not  depart  from 
them. 

24  ''I  was  also  upi-ight  l)efore 
him,  and  have  l;ept  my.self  from 
mine   iiii(|uity. 

25  Therefoie  the  Lord  hath 
recompensed  me  according  to 
my  righteoiisncss;  according  to 
my  cleanness  in  his  eye  sight. 

26  With  the  merciful  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  ^merciful,  and  with 
the  upright  man  thou  wilt  shew 
thy.self  upright.

thou  wilt  '^save:  but  thine  eyes 
are  upon  the  haughty,  that  thou 
mayest  bring  thein  down, 

29  For  '^thou  art  my  lamp,  O 
Lord:  and  the  Lord  will  light-

30  For  by  thee  I  ^have  run

32  For  who  is  God,  save  the 
Lord  ?  and  who  is  a  ''rock,  save 
our  God  ? 

33  God  is  my  "strength  and 
power:  and  he  maketh  my  way 
perfect. 

34  He  maketh  my  feet  like 
hinds'  feet:  and  setteth  me  upon 
my  high  places. 

35  He  teacheth  my  hands  to 
war;  so  that  ^^a  bow  of  steel  is 
broken  l)y  mine  arms. 

36  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the 
"shield  of  thy  ''salvation :  ana  thy 
'gentleness  hath  made  me  great. 

37  Thou  hast  enlarged  my  steps 
under  me;  so  that  my  feet  did 
not  slip. 

38  I  have  pursued  mine  ene- 
mies, and  destroyed  them;  and 
turned  not  again  until  I  had  con- 
sumed them. 

39  And  I  have  consumed  them, 
and  wounded  them,  that  they 
could  not  arise:  yea,  they  are 
fallen  under  my  feet. 

40  For  thou  hast  girded  me 
with  strength  to  battle:  them 
that  rose  up  against  me  hast 
thou  subdued  under  me. 

41  Thou  hast  also  ^^given  me 
the  necks  of  mine  enemies,  that  I 
might  destroy  them  that  hate 
me. 


42  They  ^looked,  but  there  was 
none  to  save;  even  unto  the 
Lord,  but  he  answered  them 
not. 

43  Then  did  I  beat  them  as 
small  as  the  dust  of  the  earth,  I 
did  stamp  them  as  the  mire  of 
the  street,  and  did  spread  them 
abroad. 

44  Thou  also  hast  delivered  me 
from  the  strivings  of  my  people, 
thou  hast  kept  me  to  be  head  of 
the  "heathen:  a  people  ivhich  I 
knew  not  shall  serve  me. 

45  ^Strangers  shall  submit 
themselves  unto  me:  as  soon  as 
they  hear,  they  shall  be  obedient 
unto  me. 

46  ^Strangers  shall  fade  away, 
and  ^^they  shall  be  afraid  out  of 
their  close  places. 

47  ^The  Lord  liveth;  and 
blessed  be  my  rock;  and  exalted 
be  the  God  of  the  ''rock  of  my 
''salvation. 

48  It  is  God  that  '"avengeth  me, 
and  that  bringeth  down  the  peo- 
ple under  me, 

49  And  that  "'bringeth  me  forth 
from  mine  enemies:  thou  also 
hast  lifted  me  up  on  high  above 
them  that  rose  up  against  me: 
thou  hast  delivered  me  from  the 
violent  man. 

50  Therefore  I  will  give  ^thanks 
unto  thee,  O  Lord,  among  the 
"heathen,  and  I  will  sing  'praises 
unto  thy  name.

and  the  sweet  psalmist  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  said, 

2  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
''spake  by  me,  and  his  word  was 
in  my  tongue. 

3  The  God  of  I§'ra-el  said,  the 
'^Rock  of  Is'ra-el  spake  to  me, 
'•'^He  that  ruleth  over  men  must 
be  just,  ruling  in  the  ''fear  of 
God. 

■i  And  lie  shall  he  as  the  light 
of  the  morning,  when  the  sun 
riseth,  even  a  morning  with- 
out clouds;  as  the  tender  grass 
springinr/  out  of  the  earth  by 
clear  shining  after  rain. 

5  Although  my  house  be  not  so 
with  God;  yet  ''he  hath  made 
with  me  an  everlasting  ^cove- 
nant, ordered  in  all  things,  and 
''sure :  for  this  is  all  my  salvation, 
and  all  my  desire,  although  he 
make  it  not  to  grow, 

6  But  ^-'the  sons  of  Be'li-al 
shall  he  all  of  them  as  thorns 
thrust  away,  because  they  can- 
not be  taken  with  hands : 

7  But  the  man  tJiat  shall  touch 
them  must  be  ^fenced  with  'iron 
and  the  staff  of  a  spear;  and 
^'they  shall  be  utterly  burned 
with  fire  in  the  same  place. 

8  Tf  ^These  he  the  names  of  the 
mighty  men  whom  Da'vid  had: 
The  '"Tach'mo-nlte  that  sat  in 
the  seat,  chief  among  the  cap- 
tains; the  same  ivas  Ad'i-no 
the  Ez'nite:  '^he  lift  up  his  spear 
against  eight  hundred,  whom  he 
slew  at  one  time. 

9  And  after  him  was  "E-le-a'- 
zar  the  son  of  ^Df/do  the  A-ho'- 
hite,  one  of  the  three  mighty  men 
with  "Da'vid,  when  they  tlcfied 
the  °Phi-lis'tines  that  were  there 
gathered  together  to  battle,  and 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el  were  gone 
away: 

10  ^He  arose,  and  smote  the 
PhT-lis'tmes  until  his  hand  was 
weary,  and  his  hand  clave  un- 
to the  sword:  and   the  'Loud 


''wrought  a  great  victory  that 
day;  and  the  people  returned 
after  him  only  to  spoil. 

11  And  after  him  was  Sluim'- 
mah  the  son  of  Ag'e-e  the  ilfi'ra- 
rite.  And  the  °Flii-lis'tine.s  were 
gathered  together  into  a  troop, 
where  was  a  piece  of  ground  full 
of  lentiles:  and  the  people  fled 
from  the  Phi-lis'tine.s. 

12  But  he  stood  in  the  midst  of 
the  Aground,  and  defended  it, 
and  slew  the  "Phi-lis'tine.s :  and 
the  'Lord  ''wrouoht  a  great 
victory. 

13  And  three  of  the  thirty  chief 
went  down,  and  came  to  "Da'vid 
in  the  harvest  time  unto  the  *cave 
of  'A-dfil'lam:  and  the  troop  of 
the  "Phi-lis'tincs  pitched  in  the 
valley  of  "Reph'a-im. 

14  And  Da'vid  ivas  then  in  an 
hold,  and  the  ''garrison  of  the 
"Phi-lTs'tine.s  was  then  m"'Beth'- 
le-hem. 

15  And  Da'vid  longed,  and 
said,  Oh  that  one  would  give  me 
drink  of  the  water  of  the  well  of 
'"Beth'-le-hem,  which  is  by  the 
gate! 

16  ^And  the  three  mighty  men 
''brake  through  the  host  of  the 
Phi-lis'tine.s,  and  drew  water  out 
of  the  well  of  «'Beth'-lC-hem, 
that  was  by  the  gate,  and  took 
it,  and  brought  it  to  ^Da'vid: 
nevertheless  he  would  not  drink 
thereof,  but  ^poured  it  out  unto 
the  Lord. 

17  And  he  said.  Be  it  far  from 
me,  O  Lord,  that  I  should  do 
this:  ''is  not  this  the  blood  of  the 
men  that  went  in  jeopardy  of 
their  lives  ?  therefore  he  would 
not  drink  it.  These  things  did 
these  three  mighty  men. 

18  And  «A-bish'a-i,  the  brother 
of  Md'ab,  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah, 
was  chief  among  three.  And  '^he 
lifted  up  his  spear  again.st  three 
hundred,  and  slew  thetti,  and  had 
the  name  among  three.

man,  of  '^Kab'ze-el,  who  had

host.  And  Jo'ab  and  the  cap- 
tains of  the  host  went  out  from 
the  presence  of  the  king,  to 
*number  the  people  of  Ls'ra-el. 

5  And  they  passed  over  'Jor'- 
dan,  and  pitched  in  Ar'6-er,  on 
the  right  side  of  the  city  that 
-lieth  in  the  midst  of  the  river  of 
Gad,  and  toward  Ja'zer: 

6  Then  they  came  to  Gil'e-ad, 
and  to  the  land  of  Tah'tim-hod'- 
shi;  and  they  came  to  Dan-ja'- 
an,  and  about  to  '"Zi'don, 

7  And  came  to  the  strong  hold 
of  ''Tyre,  and  to  all  the  cities  of 
the  "Hl'vltes,  and  of  the  Ca'- 
naan-Ttes:  and  they  went  out  to 
the  south  of  Ju'dah,  even  to 
*Be'er-she'ba. 

8  So  when  they  had  gone 
through  all  the  land,  they  came 
to  ^Je-ru'sfi-lem  at  the  end  of 
nine  m.onths  and  twenty  days. 

9  And  ^  Jo'ab  gave  up  the  *sum 
of  the  number  of  the  people  unto 
the  king:  and  there  were  in  Ls'- 
ra-el  'eight  hundred  thousand 
valiant  men  that  drew  the  sword; 
and  the  men  of  ^Ju'dah  were 
'five  hundred  thousand  men. 

10  ^  And  ^Da'vid's  ^heart 
smote  him  after  that  he  had 
numbered  the  people.  And  Da'- 
vid  said  unto  the  Lord,  *'T  have 
sinned  greatly  in  that  I  have 
done:  and  now,  I  beseech  thee, 
O  Lord,  take  away  the  iniquity 
of  thy  servant;  for  I  have  done 
very  fof>lislily. 

11  For  when  ''DaVid  was  up  in 
the  morning,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  the  prophet 
^Gad,  Da'vid's  "seer,  saying, 

12  Go  and  say  unto  Da'vid, 
Thus  saith  the  I./0RD,  ^I  oiYcr 
thee  "three  things;  ^choose  thee 
one  of  them,  that  I  may  do  it 
unto  thee. 


13  So  ^GS.d  came  to  '^Da'vid, 
and  told  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
"Shall  seven  years  of  famine 
come  unto  thee  in  thy  'land  ?  or 
wilt  thou  flee  thi'ce  months  be- 
fore thine  enemies,  while  they 
pursue  thee  ?  or  that  there  be 
three  days'  ^pestilence  in  thy 
land  ?  now  advise,  and  see  what 
answer  I  shall  return  to  him  that 
sent  me. 

14  And  Da'vid  said  unto '''Gad. 
I  am  in  a  great  strait:  ^'"let  us 
fall  now  into  the  hand  of  the 
Lord;  ''for  his  '^mercies  are 
great :  and  let  me  not  fall  into  the 
hand  of  man. 

15  Tl  So  the  Lord  ''•^sent  a 
'pestilence  upon  "Ls'ra-el  from 
the  morning  even  to  the  time 
appointed:  and  there  died  of 
the  people  from  ''Dan  even  to 
'Be'er-she'ba  seventy  thousand 
men. 

16  And  when  the  %ngel  stretch- 
ed out  his  hand  upon  *Je-rii'sa- 
lem  to  destroy  it,  the  ^Lord 
'"■"repented  him  of  the  evil,  and 
said  to  the  angel  that  destroyed 
the  people.  It  is  enough:  stay 
now  thine  hand.  And  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  was  by  the  "thresh- 
ingplace  of  ^A-rau'nah  the  Jeb'- 
u-slte. 

17  And  ^Da'vid  ''spake  unto  the 
Lord  when  he  saw  the  'angel 
that  smote  the  people,  and  said, 
I/O,  *I  have  sinned,  and  I  have 
done  Wickedly :  'but  these  sheep 
what  have  they  done  ?  let  thine 
hand,  I  pray  thee,  be  against  me, 
and  against  my  father's  house. 

18  ^  And  ^Gad  came  that  day 
to  ''Da'vid,  and  said  unto  him, 
Go  up,  rear  an  "altar  unto  the 
Lord  in  the  "threshingfloor  of

A-rau'nah  went  out,  and  "bowed

21  And  ^A-rau'nah  said. 
Wherefore  is  my  lord  the  king 
come  to  his  servant  ?  And  *Da'-

he  oxen  for  ^burnt  Sacrifice,

'"other  instruments   of  the  oxen

Da'vid  bought  the  threshing-

Ablshag  cherishes  David  in  his  extreme  age. 
5  Adonijah  aspires  to  the  Icingdom.  11 
Nathan  and  Bath-sheba  induce  the  Icing 
to  secure  the  succession  to  iSolomon.  32 
Solomon  anointed  king.  41  At  the  ti- 
dings thereof,  A  donijah  flees  to  the  horns  of 
the  altar.      51  lie  Is  spared  bv  Solomon.

OW  king  "Da'vid  was  "old 
and  stricken  in  years;  and 
they  covered  him  with  clothes, 
but  he  gat  no  heat. 

2  Wherefore  his  servants  said 
unto  him,  Let  there  be  sought 
for  my  lord  the  king  a  young 
''virgin:  and  let  her  stand  before 
the  ''king,  and  let  her  cherish 
him,  and  let  her  lie  in  thy  bosom, 
that  my  lord  the  king  may  get 
heat. 

3  So  tliey  sought  for  a  fair  dam- 
sel throughout  all  the  coasts  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  found  '^Ab'i-shag  a 
*Shu'nam-mite,  and  brought  her 
to  the  kinjr. 


4  And  the  ^damsel  ^cas  very 
%ir,  and  cherished  the  ''king, 
and  ministeretl  to  him:  but  the 
Idng  ^knew  her  not. 

5  If  Then  t'Md-o-ni'jah  the 
son  of  'Hag'gith  ^exalted  him- 
self, saying,  ^I  will  be  ''king:  and 
he  prepared  him  'chariots  and 
'"horsemen,  and  fifty  men  to  run 
before  him. 

6  And  his  father  "had  not  dis- 
pleased him  at  any  time  in  say- 
ing, Why  hast  thou  done  so  ?  and 
he  also  ivas  a  very  goodly  man; 
and  his  mother  bare  him  after 
"Ab'sa-lom. 

7  And  he  ^conferred  with  *J6'- 
ab  the  son  of  ''Zer-u-i'ah,  and

na'iah  the  son  of  "Je-hoi'a-da. 
And  they  came  before  the  king. 

33  The  king  also  said  unto 
them,  Take  with  you  the  serv- 
ants of  your  lord,  and  cause 
"SoFo-mon  my  son  to  ride  upon 
mine  own  "mule,  and  bring  him 
down  to  "Gl'hon: 

34  And  let  'Za'dok  the  'priest 
and  Na'than  the  "prophet  '"an- 
oint him  there  ^king  over  ^Ls'- 
ra-el:   and    blow   ye    with    the 


^trumpet,  and  say,   "God  save 
king  ''Sol'o-mon. 

35  Then  ye  shall  come  up  after 
him,  that  he  may  come  and  sit 
upon  my  throne;  for  he  shall  be 
king  in  my  stead :  and  I  have  ap- 
pointed him  to  be  ruler  over 
'^Ls'ra-el  and  over  Ju'dah. 

36  And  '^Be-na'iah  the  son  of 
*Je-hoi'a-da  answered  the  king, 
and  said.  Amen:  ''the  Lord 
God  of  ray  lord  the  king  say  so 
too. 

37  'As  the  Lord  hath  been 
with  my  lord  the  king,  even  so  be 
he  with  ''Sol'o-mon,  and  make 
his  ^throne  greater  than  the 
throne  of  my  lord  king  ''Da'vid. 

38  So  'Za'dok  the  priest,  and 
'Na'than  the  prophet,  and  ^'Be- 
na'iah  the  son  of  ^Je-hoi'a-da, 
and  the  ^Cher'e-thites,  and  the 

and 


up- 
and 


'Pel'e-thltes,    went    down, 
caused   Sol'o-mon    to  ride 
on    king    ''Da'vid's    mule, 
brought  him  to  "Gi'hon. 

39  And  'Za'dok  the  priest  took 
an  ^horn  of  '"oil  out  of  the  ^-  "tab- 
ernacle, and  "anointed  ''Sol'o- 
mon.  And  they  blew  the  ''trump- 
et; and  all  the  people  said,  "God 
save  king  Sol'o-mou; 

40  And  all  the  people  came  up 
after  him,  and  the  people  piped 
with  *pipes,  and  rejoiced  with 
great  ''joy,  so  that  the  earth  rent 
with  the  sound  of  them. 

41  Tl  And  ^Ad-o-ni'jah  and  all 
the  ^guests  that  ivere  with  him 
heard  it  as  they  had  made  an 
end  of  'eating.  x\nd  when  "Jo'ab 
heard  the  sound  of  the  ''trumpet, 
he  said.  Wherefore  is  this  noise 
of  the  city  being  in  an  uproar  ? 

42  And  while  he  yet  spake,  be- 
hold, "Jon'a-than  the  son  of

43  And  Jon'a-than  answered 
and  said  to  ^Ad-o-ni'jah,  Verily 
our  lord  king  ''Da' vid  hath  made 
''Sol'o-moii  kinof. 

44  And  the  king  hath  sent  with 
him  *Za'd6k  the  priest,  and 
'Na'than  the  prophet,  and  ''Be- 
na'iah  the  son  of  ^Je-hoi'a-da, 
and  the  ^Cher'e-thites,  and  the 
'Pel'e-thrtes,  and  they  have 
caused  him  to  ride  upon  the 
king's  mule: 

45  And  'Za'dok  the  priest  and 
'Na'than  the  prophet  have  "an- 
ointed him  king  in  "Gl'hon: 
and  they  are  come  up  from 
thence  rejoicing,  so  that  the  city 
rang  again.  This  is  the  noise 
that  ye  have  heard. 

46  And  also  Sol'o-mon  sitteth 
on  the  throne  of  the  kingdom. 

47  And  moreover  the  king's 
servants  came  to  bless  our  lord 
king'^Da'vid,  saying,  ''God  make 
the  name  of  Sol'o-mon  better 
than  thy  name,  and  make  his 
''throne  greater  than  thy  throne. 
And  the  king  bowed  himself  up 
on  the  bed. 

48  And  also  thus  said  tiic  king, 
"Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  hath  given  one  to 
sit  on  my  throne  this  day,  mine 
eyes  even  seeing  it. 

49  And  all  the  ^guests  that  wr/r 
with  ^Ad-o-nl'jah  ^ere  afraid, 
and  rose  up,  and  went  every  man 
his  way. 

50  And  ^Ad-o-nT'j; I  h  ^feared  be- 
cause of  "Sol'o-mon,  and  arose, 
and  went,  ''and  caught  hold  on 
the  horns  of  the  ''altar. 

51  And  it  was  told  "SoFo-mon, 
sa}ing.  Behold,  '''Ad-o-nT'jah 
feareth  king  Sol'o-mon:  for,  lo, 
he  hath  caught  hold  on  the  horns 
of  the  ''altar,  saying,  I^et  king 
Sol'o-mon  ''swe.-ir  unto  me  to  day 
that  he  will  not  ''slay  his  servant 
with  the  sword. 


52  And  "Sol'o-mon  said,  If  he 
will  shew  himself  a  worthy  man, 
there  shall  not  an  hair  of  him 
fall  to  the  earth:  but  if  wicked- 
ness shall  be  fountl  in  him,  he 
shall  die. 

53  So  king  "Sol'o-inon  sent,  and 
they  brought  him  down  from 
the  '"altar.  And  he  came  and 
^' ''bowed  himself  to  king  Sol'o- 
mon:  and  Sol'o-mon  said  unto 
him,  ''Go  to  thine  house.

about  his  loins,  and  in  his  shoes 
that  were  on  his  feet. 

6  Do  therefore  according  to  thy 
wisdom,  and  "'let  not  his  hoar 
head  go  down  to  the  grave  in 
peace. 

7  But  ^shew  ^kindness  unto  the

that  eat  at  thy  table:  for  so  they 
came  to  me  when  I  fled  "because 
of  *Ab'sa-l6m  thy  brother. 

8  And,  behold,  thou  hast  with 
thee  Shim'e-i  the  son  of  '^Ge'ru, 
a  Ben'ja-mlte  of  '^Ba-hu'rim,

and  I  'sware  to  him  by  the 
Lord,  saying,  I  will  not  put 
thee  to  death  with  the  sword. 

9  Now  therefore  hold  him  not

reigned  over  Is'ra-el  were  forty 
years:  seven  years  reigned  he  in 
"He'bron,  and  thirty  and  three 
years  reigned  hein"Je-ni'sa-lem. 

12  *[[  Then  sat  ^Sol'o-mon  upon

ably. 

14  He  said  moreover,  I  have 
somewhat  to  say  unto  thee.  And 
she  said.  Say  on. 

15  And  he  said,  Thou  knowest 
that  the  'kingdom  was  mine,  and 
that  all  Is'ra-el  set  their  faces  on 
"'"me,  that  I  should  reign:  how-

21  And  she  said,  Let  "Ab'i-shag 
the  Shij'iiain-nilte  be  given  to 
"Ad-o-nl'jah  thy  brother  to 
wife. 

22  And  king  °Soro-mon  an- 
swered and  saitl  unto  his  ^moth- 
er, And  why  dost  thou  ask  *Ab'- 
i-shag  the  Shii'nam-mlte  for 
''■"Ad-o-nl'jah  ?  ask  for  hira  the 
Idngdom  also;  for  he  iy  mine 
elder  brother;  even  for  him, 
and  for  'A-bl'a-thar  the  priest, 
and  for  ^Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer- 
u-I'ah. 

23  Then  ^king  "Sol'o-mon 
'sware  by  the  Lord,  sajing, 
God  do  so  to  me,  and  more  also, 

!  if  Ad-o-nl'jah  have  not  spoken 
this  word  against  his  own  life. 

24  Now  therefore,  'as  the  Lord 
liveth,  which  hath  established 
me,  and  set  me  on  the  *throne  of 
Da'vid  my  father,  and  who  hath 
made  me  an  house,  as  he  '"prom- 
ised, '^•^Ad-o-nl'jah  shall  be  put 
to  death  this  day. 

25  And  king  "Soro-mon  "sent 
by  the  hand  of  "Be-na'iah  the 
son  of  Je-hoi'a-da;  and  he  ^fell 
upon  him  that  he  died. 

26  H  «-'-And  unto  ^A-bfa-thar 
the  Spriest  *3aid  the  king.  Get 
thee  to  'AnVthoth,  unto  thine 
own  ''fields;  for  thou  art  worthy 
of  death:  but  I  will  not  at  this 
time  put  thee  to  death,  because 
thou  barest  the  "ark  of  the  Lord 
God  before  "'Da'vid  my  father, 
and  because  thou  hast  been  af- 
flicted in  all  wherein  my  father 
was  afflicted. 

27  So  "Soro-mon  thrust  out 
*A-bl'a-thar  from  l)cing  Spriest 
unto  the  Lord;  that  he  might 
fulfil  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
M'hich  he  spake  concerning  the 
house  of  ^E'll  in  Shl'loh. 

28  ^  Then  tidings  came  to 
Uo'ab:  for  Jo'ab  had  turned  af- 
ter  Ad-o-nT'jah,  though  he  turned 


4.18-37  by  Mary  the  mother  of  .Jesus.  Lnke  2:41-.'i0-  by  the 
bereaved  mothers  of  Beth-lchem.  Matt.  2:16-18-6;/  theSuronZ

not  after  ^'Ab'sa-lom.  And 
Jo'ab  fled  unto  the  'tabernacle 
of  the  Lord,  «and  caught  hold 
on  the  horns  of  the  "altar. 

29  And  it  was  told  king  "Sol'o- 
mon  that  ^Jo'ab  was  fled  unto 
the  ^tabernacle  of  the  Lord; 
and,  behold,  lie  is  by  the  "altar. 
Then  Sol'o-mon  sent  '^Be-na'iah 
the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da,  sa}ing, 
Go,  fall  upon  him. 

30  And  '^Be-na'iah  came  to  the 
^tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and 
said  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the 
king,  Come  forth.  And  he  said, 
Nay;  but  I  will  die  here.  And 
Be-na'iah  brought  the  king  word 
again,  saying.  Thus  said  ^Jo'ab, 
and  thus  he  answered  me. 

31  And  the  king  said  unto  him. 
Do  as  he  hath  said,  and  ^fall  up- 
on him,  and  bury  him;  that  thou 
mayest  take  away  the  innocent 
blood,  which  Jo'ab  shed,  from 
me,  and  from  the  house  of  my 
father. 

32  And  the  Lord  shall  return 
his  blood  upon  his  own  head, 
who  fell  upon  two  men  more 
righteous  and  better  than  he, 
and  ''slew  them  with  the  sword, 
my  father  Da'vid  not  knowing 
thereof,  to  idt,  ^Ab'ner  the  son  of 
Ner,  captain  of  the  host  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  and  "Am'a-sa  the  son  of 
Je'ther,  captain  of  the  host  of 
JuMah. 

33  Their  blood  shall  therefore 
return  upon  the  head  of  Jo'ilb, 
and  upon  the  head  of  his  seed  for 
ever:  but  upon  Da'vid,  and  upon 
his  seed,  and  upon  his  house, 
and  upon  his  *throne,  shall 
there  be  peace  for  ever  from  the 
Lord. 

34  So  ''Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je- 
hoi'a-da  went  up,  and  fell  upon 
him,  and  ^-'slew  him:  and  he  was 
buried  in  his  own  %ouse  in  the 
wilderness.

35  T[  And  the  "king  put  ''Be- 
na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  in 
his  ^room  over  the  host:  and 
'ZaMok  the  priest  did  the '"king 
put  in  the  room  of  "A-bl'a- 
thar. 

36  t  And  the  ''king  sent  and 
called  for  ^Shim'e-I,  and  said 
unto  him,  Build  thee  an  house  in 
"Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  dwell  there, 
and  go  not  forth  thence  any 
whither. 

37  For  it  shall  be,  that  on  the 
day  thou  goest  out,  and  passest 
over  the  brook  "Kid'ron,  thou 
shalt  know  for  certain  that  thou 
shalt  'surely  die :  thy  blood  shall 
be  upon  thine  own  head. 

38  And  ^Shim'e-i  said  unto  the 
king,  The  saying  is  good:  as  my 
lord  the  king  hath  said,  so  will 
thy  servant  do.  And  Shim'e-i 
dwelt  in  "Je-ru'sa-lSm  many 
days. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  three  years,  that  two  of 
the  ^servants  of  *Shim'e-i  'ran 
away  unto  'A'chish  son  of  JNla'a- 
chah  king  of  *Gath.  And  they 
told  Shim'e-I,  saying.  Behold, 
thy  servants  be  in  Gath. 

40  And  Shim'e-I  arose,  and  sad- 
dled his  ass,  and  went  to  ^Gath 
to  ''A'chish  to  seek  his  ^servants : 
and  Shim'e-I  went,  and  brought 
his  servants  from  Gath. 

41  And  it  was  told  ''Sol'o-mon 
that  ^Shim'e-I  had  gone  from 
"Je-ru'sa-lem  to  *Gath,  and  was 
come  again. 

42  And  the  king  sent  and  called 
for  Shim'e-I,  and  said  unto  him, 
Did  I  not  make  thee  to  'swear  by 
the  Lord,  and  protested  unto 
thee,  saying.  Know  for  a  certain, 


on  the  day  thou  goest  out,  taid 
walkest  abroad  any  whither, 
that  thou  shalt  surely  die  ?  and 
thou  saidst  unto  me,  The  word 
that  I  have  heard  is  good. 

43  Why  then  hast  thou  not 
kept  the  'oath  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  commandment  that  I  have 
charged   thee  with  ? 

44  The  king  said  moreover  to 
*Shim'e-i,  Thou  knowest  all  the 
wickedness  which  thine  heart  is 
privy  to,  that  thou  didst  to  "Da'- 
vid  my  father:  therefore  the 
Lord  shall  return  thy  wicked- 
ness upon  thine  own  head; 

45  And  king  'Sol'o-mon  shall  be 
blessed,  and  the  throne  of  Da'- 
vid  shall  be  established  before 
the  Lord  for  ever. 

46  So  the  king  commanded 
''Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a- 
da;  which  went  out,  and  'fell 
upon  him,  that  he  died.  And 
the  kingdom  was  established  in

Lord,  walkinoj  in  the  statutes  of 
Da'Aitl  hi.s  father:  only  he  sacri- 
ficed and  burnt  incense  in  ^high 
places. 

4  And  the  king  went  to  '^Gib'e- 
on  to  sacrifice  there;  for  that  was 
tlie  great  "^high  place:  a  thou- 
sand ''burnt  offerings  did  Sol'o- 
nion  offer  upon  that  altar. 

5  1[  In  ^Gib'eon  the  Lord 
''appeared  to  °Sol'o-mon  in  a 
''dream  by  night:  and  God  said, 
Ask  what  I  sliall  give  thee. 

6  And  "Sol'o-mon  said.  Thou 
hast  shewed  unto  thy  servant 
'Da'vid  my  father  great  'mercy, 
according  as  he  walked  before 
thee  in  truth,  and  in  righteous- 
ness, and  in  uprightness  of  heart 
with  thee;  and  thou  hast  kept  for 
him  this  great  kindness,  that 
thou  hast  given  him  a  son  to  sit 
on  his  throne,  as  it  is  this  day. 

7  And  now,  O  Lord  my  God, 
'thou  hast  made  thy  servant 
king  instead  of  Da'vid  my  fa- 
ther: and  I  am  '^hut  a  little  child: 
I  know  not  how  to  go  out  or 
come  in. 

8  And  thy  servant  is  in  the 
midst  of  thy  people  which  thou 
hast  chosen,  a  great  people,  that 
cannot  be  numbered  nor  counted 
for  multitude. 

9  Give  therefore  thy  servant  an 
'understanding  "'heart  to  "judge 
thy  people,  "that  I  may  discern 
between  good  and  bad:  for  who 
is  able  to  judge  this  thy  so  great 
a  people  ? 

10  And  the  speech  pleased  the 
Lord,  that  °S6l'o-mon  had  asked 
this  thing. 

11  .\nd  God  said  unto  him,  Be- 
cause thou  hast  asked  this  thing, 
and  ^hast  not  asked  for  thyself 
'long  life;  neither  hast  asked 
riches  for  thyself,  nor  hast  asked 


the  life  of  thine  enemies;  but 
hast  asked  for  thyself  'under- 
standing to  discern  judgment; 

12  Behold,  '"I  have  done  ac- 
cording to  thy  words:  lo,  I  have 
given  thee  a  Vise  and  an  under- 
sta-^ling  heart;  so  that  there  was 
none  like  thee  before  thee,  nei- 
ther after  thee  shall  any  arise 
like  unto  thee. 

13  And  'I  have  also  given  thee 
that  which  thou  hast  not  asked, 
both  "riches,  and  honour:  so  that 
there  shall  not  be  any  among  the 
kings  like  unto  thee  all  thy  days. 

14  And  ^-'if  thou  wilt  walk  in 
my  ways,  to  keep  my  statutes 
and  my  commandments,  as  thy 
father  ""Da'vid  did  walk,  ^then 
I  will  lengthen  thy  days. 

15  And  Sol'o-mon  awoke;  and, 
behold,  it  was  a  ''dream.  And 
he  came  to  Je-ni'sa-lem,  and 
stood  before  the  %rk  of  the  cov- 
enant of  the  Lord,  and  offered 
up  burnt  ^offerings,  and  of- 
fered peace  offerings,  and  made

while  thine  handmaid  slept,  and 
laid  it  in  her  bosom,  and  laid  her 
dead  child  in  my  bosom. 

21  And  when  I  rose  in  the 
morning  to  give  my  child  suck, 
behold,  it  was  dead:  but  when  I 
had  considered  it  in  the  morn- 
ing, behold,  it  was  not  my  son, 
which  I  did  bear. 

22  And  the  other  woman  said, 
Nay;  but  the  living  is  my  son, 
and  the  dead  is  thy  son.  And 
this  said,  No;  but  the  dead  is  thy 
son,  and  the  living  is  my  son. 
Thus  they  spake  before  the 
king. 

I  23  Then  said  the  ^•'^•'^king.  The 
one  saith,  This  is  my  son  that 
liveth,  and  thy  son  is  the  dead : 
and  the  other  saith.  Nay ;  but  thy 
son  is  the  dead,  and  my  son  is 
the  living. 

24  And  the  "■'^■'^king  said,  Bring 
me  a  sword.  And  they  brought 
a  sword  before  the  king. 

25  ''And  the  ''•'^'^king  said,  Di- 
vide the  living  child  in  two,  and 
give  half  to  the  one,  and  half  to 
the  other. 

26  Then  spake  the  ^voman 
whose  the  living  child  was  unto 
the  king,  for  her  ^bowels  yearn- 
ed upon  her  son,  and  she  said,  O 
my  lord,  give  her  the  living  child, 
and  in  no  wise  slay  it.  But  the 
other  said.  Let  it  be  neither  mine 
nor  thine,  hid  divide  it. 

27  Then  the  ''•''•''king  answered 
and  said.  Give  her  the  hving 
child,  and  in  no  wise  slay  it:  she 
is  the  mother  thereof. 

28  And  all  Is'ra-el  heard  of  the 
judgment  which  the  king  had 
judged;  and  they  ^feared  the 
king:  for  thev  saw  that  the  ''wis- 


dom of  God  was  in  him,  to  do 
judgment.

non  even  unto  the  "hyssop  that 
springeth  out  of  the  wall:  he 
spake  also  of  ^'beasts,  and  of 
«fowl,  and  of  ''creeping  things, 
and  of  ^fishes. 

34  And  there  came  of  all  people 
to  hear  the  "wisdom  ot  Sol'o- 
mon,  from  all  kings  of  the  earth, 
which  had  heard  of  his  wisdom. 

CHAPTER  5 

Hiram  congratulates  Solomon.  2  He  is  in- 
formed of  his  purpose  to  build  the  temple: 
and  desired  to  furnish  him  with  timber. 
7  Their  agreement  concerning  this  matter. 
13  The  number  of  Solomon's  workmen. 

AND  "Hi'ram  king  of  *Tyre 
"sent  his  '^servants  unto 
"Ssro-mon;  for  he  had  heard 
that  they  had  anointed  him  king 
in  the  room  of  his  father:  ''for 
Hi'ram  was  ever  a  'lover  of 
^Da'vid. 

2  And  "^Sol'o-mon  sent  to  "Hl'- 
ram,  sa}ing, 

3  Thou  knowest  how  that  ''Da'- 
vid  my  father  could  not  build  an 
house  unto  the  name  of  the 
Lord  his  God  for  the  wars 
which  were  about  him  on  every 
side,  until  the  Lord  put  them 
under  the  soles  of  his  feet. 

4  But  now  the  Lord  my  God 
hath  given  me  '^rest  on  every 
side,  so  that  there  is  neither  ad- 
versary nor  evil  occurrent. 

5  And,  behold,  I  purpose  to 
build  an  ^louse  unto  the  name  of 
the  Lord  my  God.  as  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Da'vid  my  father, 
saying,  Thy  son,  whom  I  will  set 
upon  thy  throne  in  thy  room,  he 
shall  build  an  house  unto  my 
name. 

6  Now  therefore  command  thou 
that  they  hew  me  'cedar  trees 
out  of  ''^Leb'a-non;  and  my  serv- 
ants shall  be  with  thy  servants: 
and  vmto  thee  will  I  give  hire  for 
thy  servants  according  to  all  that 
thou    shalt    appoint:    for    thou 


knowest  that  there  is  not  among 
us  any  that  can  skill  to  hew  tim- 
ber like  unto  the  '•'"Si-do'ni-an.s. 

7  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"Hi'ram  heard  the  words  of 
''Ssro-mon,  that  he  rejoiced 
greatly,  and  said.  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  this  day,  which  hath  given 
unto  Da'vid  a  ''wise  son  over 
this  great  people. 

8  And  ''Hi'ram  sent  to  ''Sol'o- 
mon,  sa}ing,  I  have  ^considered 
the  things  which  thou  sentest  to 
me  for:  and  "l  will  do  all  thy  de- 
sire concerning  timber  of  'cedar, 
and  concerning  timber  of  ^fir. 

9  *My  servants  shall  bring  them 
down  from  *Leb'a-non  unto  the 
sea:  and  I  will  convey  them  by 
sea  in  floats  unto  the  place  that 
thou  shalt  appoint  me,  and  will 
cause  them  to  be  discharged 
there,  and  thou  shalt  receive 
them:  and  *thou  shalt  accom- 
plish my  desire,  in  giving  food 
for  my  household. 

10  So  °Hl'ram  ''gave  ''Sol'o- 
mon  'cedar  trees  and  ^fir  trees 
according  to  all  his  desire. 

11  And  Sol'o-mon  «gave  Hi'- 
ram  twenty  thousand  '^measures 
of  *wheat  for  food  to  his  house- 
hold, and  twenty  measures  of 
pure  'oil :  thus  gave  S6l'o-mon  to 
Hi'ram  year  by  year. 

12  And  the  Lord  gave  ''Ssro- 
mon  "wisdom,  as  he  promised 
him:  and  there  was  ''peace  be- 
tween Hi'ram  and  S6l'o-mon; 
and  they  two  made  a  "^^  "league 
together. 

13  t  And  king  '^SSFo-mon 
raised  a  ^levy  out  of  all  I.s'ra-el ; 
and  the  levy  was  thirty  thousand 
men. 

14  And  he  sent  them  to  *Leb'a- 
non,  ten  thousand  a  month  by 
courses:  a  month  they  were  in 
L^b'a-non,  and  two  months  at

and  Hi'ram's  builders  ^did  hew 
^them,  and  the  stonesquarers :  so 
they  prepared  timber  and  stones 
to  build  the  house.

cliambrrs  thereof  11  God's  promise  con- 
cerning it.  l,j  The  ceiling  and  adorning 
of  the  house.  2S  The  cherubim.  31  The 
doors.  36  The  court.  37  The  time  spent 
in  building  it. 

AND  it  came  to  pa.ss  in  "the 
four  hundred  and  eighti- 
eth year  after  the  children  of 
''Is'ra-el  were  come  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  fourth 
year  of  ''Ssro-mon's  reign  over 
Is'ra-el,  in  the  ''month  Zif,  which 
w  the  second  month,  that  ^he  be- 
gan to  build  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

2  And  the  house  which  king 
Sol'o-mon  built  for  the  Lord, 
the  length  thereof  was  three- 
score ''cubits,  and  the  breadth 
thereof  twenty  cuhifs,  and  the 
height  thereof  thirty  cubits. 

3  And  the  porch  before  the  tem- 
ple of  the  house,  twenty  cubits 
was  the  length  thereof,  accord- 
ing to  the  breadth  of  the  house; 
and  ten  cubits  was  the  breadth 
thereof  before  the  house. 


4  And  for  the  house  he  made 
'windows  of  'narrow  lights. 

5  And  against  the  wall  of  the 
liouse  he  built  'chambers  round 
about,  acjainst  the  walls  of 
the  house  round  about,  hoih  of 
the  temple  and  of  the  *oracle: 
and  he  made  chambers  round 
about : 

6  The  nethermost  ^chamber 
was  five  cul)its  broad,  and  the 
middle  was  six  cubits  broad,  and 
the  third  was  seven  cubits 
broad:  for  ^without  in  the  wall 
of  the  house  he  made  narrowed 
rests  round  about,  that  tJie  beams 
should  not  be  fastened  in  the 
walls  of  the  house. 

7  And  the  house,  when  it  was 
in  building,  was  built  of  '^stone 
made  ready  before  it  was 
brought  thither:  so  that  there 
was  neither  ^hammer  nor  'ax 
nor  any  tool  of  ^iron  heard  in  the 
house,  while  it  was  in  build- 
ing. 

8  The  door  for  the  middle 
^chamber  ivas  in  the  right  side  of 
the  house:  and  they  went  up 
with  winding  stairs  into  tlie 
middle  chamber,  and  out  of  the 
middle  into  the  third. 

9  So  he  built  the  house,  and 
finished  it;  and  covered  the 
house  with  beams  and  boards  of 
'cedar. 

10  And  fhrn  he  built  "cham- 
bers against  all  the  house,  five 
''cubits  high:  and  they  rested  on 
the  house  with  timber  of  'cedar. 

1 1  •[[  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
""came  to  "^Sol'o-mon,  saying, 

12  Concealing  this  house  which 
thou  art  in  building,  "if  thou  wiU

my  judgments,  and  "keep  all  my 
commandments  to  walk  in  them; 
then  ''will  I  ^perform  my  «^word

and  open  flowers:  all  was  cedar; 
there  was  no  stone  seen. 

19  And  the  *'"oradc  he  pre- 
pared in  the  house  within,  to  set 
there  the  "ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord. 

20  And  '^the  *oracle  in  the  fore- 
part ivas  twenty  cubits  in  length, 
and  twenty  cubits  in  breadth, 
and  twenty  cubits  in  the  height 
thereof:  and  he  overlaid  it  with 
pure  ^gold;  and  'Vo  covered  the 
^altar  ^Hohich  was  of  cedar. 

21  So  Sol'o-mon  overlaid  the 
^house  within  with  pure  -"gold: 
and  he  ^'^made  a  partition  by  the 
^chains  of  gold  before  the  *ora- 
cle;  and  he  overlaid  it  with  gold. 

22  And  the  Avhole  ^house  he 
overlaid  with  "gold,  until  he  had 
finished  all  the  house:  also  the 
whole   ''altar  that  ^'^was  by  the 

oracle  he  overlaid  with  gold. 

23  \  And  within  the  *• ''oracle 
he  made  two  '^cherubims  o/ 
''olive  tree,  each  ten  ''cubits  high. 

24  And  five  ''cubits  was  the  one 
wing  of  the  cherub,  and  five  cu- 
bits the  other  wing  of  the  cher- 
ub: from  the  uttermost  part  of 
the  one  wing  unto  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  other  were  ten  cubits. 

25  And  the  other  cherub  was 
ten  ^cubits:  both  the  cherubims 
were  of  one  measure  and  one  size. 

26  The  height  of  the  one  cherub 
was  ten  cubits,  and  so  was  it  of 
the  other  cherub. 

27  And  he  set  the  '^cherubims 
within  the  inner  house:  and  they 
stretched  forth  the  wings  of  the 
cherubims,  so  that  the  wing  of 
the  one  touched  the  one  wall, 
and  the  wing  of  the  other  cherub 
touched  the  other  wall;  and  their 
wings  touched  one  another  in  the 
midst  of  the  house. 

28  And  he  overlaid  the  cheru- 
bims with  "gold. 

29  And  he  carved  all  the  walls 


of  the  house  round  about  with 
''carved  figures  of  ''cherul)iins 
and  ''palm  trees  and  open  flow- 
ers, within  and  without. 

30  And  the  floor  of  the  ^house 
he  overlaid  with  "gold,  within 
and  without. 

31  T[  And  for  the  entering  of  the 
•''oracle  he  made  doors  of  'olive 

tree:  the  lintel  and  side  posts 
were  a  fifth  part  uj  the  wall. 

32  The  two  doors  also  were  of 
""olive  tree;  and  he  ^carved  upon 
them  carvings  of  '^cherubims  and 
''palm  trees  and  open  flowers, 
and  overlaid  them  with  "gold, 
and  spread  gold  upon  the  cheru- 
bims, and  upon  the  palm  trees. 

33  So  also  made  he  for  the  door 
of  the  temple  posts  of  olive  tree, 
a  fourth  part  of  the  wall. 

34  And  the  two  doors  were  of  'fir 
tree :  the  tAvo  leaves  of  the  one  door 
ivere  folding,  and  the  two  leaves 
of  the  other  door  were  folding. 

35  And  he  carved  thereon  cher- 
ubims and  palm  trees  and  open 
flowers:  and  covered  then  with 
gold  fitted  upon  the  carved  work. 

36  And  he  built  the  inner  ^court 
with  three  rows  of  hewed  '''stone, 
and  a  row  of  ^cedar  beams. 

37  ]f  In  the  fourth  year  was  the 
foundation  of  the  ^' '"house  of 
the  Lord  laid,  in  the ''month  Zif : 

38  And  in  the  eleventh  year,  in 
the  ''month  Bill,  which  is  the 
eighth  month,  was  the  ^house 
finished  throughout  aU  the  parts 
thereof,  and  according  to  all  the 
fashion  of  it.  So  was  he  seven 
years  in  building  it.

'^cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof 
fifty  cubits,  and  the  height  there- 
of thirty  cubits,  upon  four  rows 
of  ''cedar  ^pillars,  with  cedar 
beams  upon  the  pillars. 

3  And  it  was  coveretl  with  ^ce-

lay  on  forty  five  pillars,  fifteen 
in  a  row. 

4  And  there  were  ^vindows  in

5  And  '^all  the  doors  and  posts 
were  square  %ith  the  windows: 
and  light  ivas  against  light  in

6  ^  And  he  made  a  porch  of 
^pillars;  the  length  thereof  vxis 
fifty  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
thereof  thirty  cubits:  and  the 
porch  teas  before  them:  and  the 
other  pillars  and  the  thick  beam 
were  before  them. 

7  Then  he  made  a  porch  for  the 
''throne  where  he  might  iudge, 
ecen  the  porch  of  judgment:  and 
it  ivas  covered  with  ''cedar  from 
^one  side  of  the  floor  to  the  other. 

8  And  his  '^house  where  he 
dwelt  had  another  court  within 
the  porch,  which  was  of  the  like 
work.  ^Sol'o-mon  made  also  an 
house  for  'Pha'raoh's  daughter, 
whom  *'he  had  taken  to  wife,  like 
unto  this  porch. 

9  "^All  these  were  of  costly 
^stones,  according  to  the  mea- 
sures of  hewed  stones,  sawed 
with  '^saws,  within  and  without, 
even  from  the  foundation  unto 
the  coping,  and  so  on  the  outside 
^toward  the  great  court. 

10  And  the  foundation  was  of 
costly  ^stones,  even  great  stones, 
stones  of  ten  ^cubits,  and  stones 
of  eicfht  cubits. 


11  And  above  were  costly 
stones,  after  the  measures  of 
hewed  stones,  and  'cedars. 

12  And  the  great  court  round 
about  was  with  three  rows  of 
hewed  stones,  and  a  row  of  cedar 
beams,  ^both  for  the  Hnner  court 
of  the  '"house  of  the  Lord,  and 
for  the  porch  of  the  house. 

13  Tf  And  king  ^Sol'o-mon  sent 
and  fetched  *Hl'ram  out  of 
''Tyre. 

14  *He  was  a  widow's  son  of 
the  tribe  of  °Naph'ta-li,  and  his 
father  was  a  man  of  "Tyre,  a 
^' ^worker  in  brass:  and  he  was 
filled  whh  '^wisdom,  and  under- 
standing, and  cunning  to  work 
all  works  in  brass.  And  he  came 
to  king  "Sol'o-mon,  and  wrought 
all  his  work. 

15  *For  he  cast  two  ^'pillars  of 
brass,  of  eighteen  ^cubits  high 
apiece:  and  a  line  of  twelve  cu- 
bits did  compass  either  of  them 
about. 

16  And  he  ^made  two  ^chapi- 
ters of  molten  brass,  to  set  up- 
on the  tops  of  the  ''pillars:  the 
height  of  the  one  chapiter  was 
five  ''cubits,  and  the  height  of  the 
other  chapiter  was  five  cubits: 

17  And  hiets  of  checker  work, 
and  wreaths  of  "chain  work, 
for  the  ^chapiters  which  were 
upon  the  top  of  the  pillars; 
seven  for  the  one  chapiter,  and 
seven  for  the  other  chapiter. 

18  And  he  made  the  ^pillars,

the  one  network,  to  cover  the 
^chapiters  that  were  upon  the

(  Cubit,  Ex.  36:9. 


two  "pillars  had  pomrgranates 
also  above,  over  against  the 
belly  which  was  by  the  network: 
and  the  'pomegranates  were  two 
hundred  in  rows  round  about 
upon  the  other  chapiter. 

21  And  he  set  up  the  "pillars  in 
the  porch  of  the  temple:  and 
he  set  up  the  right  pillar,  and 
called  the  name  thereof  '  Ja'chin : 
and  he  set  up  the  left  pillar, 
and  called  the  name  thereof 
^Bo'az. 

22  And  upon  the  top  of  the 
"pillars  was  '"lily  work:  so  was 
the  work  of  the  pillars  finished. 

23  Tl  And  he  ^made  a  molten 
''sea,  ten  ^cubits  from  the  one 
brim  to  the  other:  it  was  round 
all  about,  and  his  height  toas 
five  cubits:  and  a  line  of  thirty 
cubits  did  compass  it  round 
about. 

24  And  under  the  brim  of  ^it 
round  about  there  were  knops 
compassing  it,  "ten  in  a  cubit, 
compassing  the  sea  round  about : 
the  knops  were  cast  in  two  rows, 
when  it  was  cast. 

25  ^It  stood  upon  twelve  ^oxen, 
three  looking  toward  the  north, 
and  three  looking  toward  the 
west,  and  three  looking  toward 
the  .south,  and  three  looking  to- 
ward the  east:  and  the  sea  was 
set  above  upon  them,  and  all 
their  hinder  parts  were  inward. 

26  And  it  was  an  "-"hand 
breadth  thick,  and  the  brim 
thereof  was  wrought  like  the 
brim  of  a  cup,  with  flowers  of 
^lilies:  it  contained  two  thous- 
and  ^•'^baths. 

27  Tf  And  he  made  ten  bases  of 
''brass;  four  ^cubits  was  the 
length  of  one  base,  and  four  cu- 
bits the  breadth  thereof,  and 
three  cubits  the  height  of  it. 

28  And  the  work  of  the  bases 
was  on   this  manner:  they  had 


borders,  and  the  borders  were 
between  the  ledges: 

29  And  on  the  borders  that  were 
between  the  ledges  were  'lions, 
"oxen,  and  ''cherubims:  and  up- 
on the  ledges  there  was  a  ^'base 
above:  and  beneath  the  Uons 
and  oxen  were  ^ ^certain  addi- 
tions made  of  thin  work. 

30  And  every  base  had  four 
brasen  wheels,  and  "plates  of 
''brass:  and  the  four  ^^corners 
thereof  had  undersetters :  under 
the  'laver  ivcre  undersetters  mol- 
ten,'•'at  the  side  of  every  addition. 

31  And  the  mouth  of  it  within 
the  ^chapiter  and  above  was  a 
''cubit:  but  the  mouth  thereof 
was  round  ajter  the  work  of 
'^the  ba,se,  a  cubit  and  an  half: 
and  also  upon  the  mouth  of  it 
were  gravings  with  their  bor- 
'lers,  foursquare,  not  roundo 

32  And  under  the  borders  loere 
four  wheels;  and  the  axletrees  of 
the  wheels  locre  joined  to  the 
base:  and  the  height  of  a  wheel 
was  a  ^cubit  and  half  a  cubit. 

33  x'Vnd  the  work  of  the  wheels 
was  like  the  work  of  a  chariot 
wheel:  their  axletrees,  and  their 
naves,  and  their  felloes,  and 
their  spokes,  were  all    ^molten. 

34  And  there  were  foiu'  under- 
setters to  the  four  corners  of  one 
base:  and  the  undersetters  were 
of  the  very  base  it.self. 

35  And  in  the  top  of  the  base 
was  there  a  round  compass  of 
half  a  ^cubit  high :  and  on  the  top 
of  the  base  the  '^ledges  thereof 
and  the  borders  thereof  were  of 
the  same. 

36  For  on  the  plates  of  the 
'^ledges  thereof,  and  on  the  bor- 
ders thereof,  he  'graved  '^cheru- 
bims,  Hioiis,  and  *palm  trees, 
according  to  the  '"proportion  of 
every  one,  and  additions  round 
about.

37  After  this  manner  he  made 
the  ten  bases:  all  of  them  had 
one  casting,  one  measure,  and 
one  size. 

38  Then  made  he  ten  'la vers  of 
"^brass :  one  laver  contained  forty 
^•'^baths:  and  every  laver  was 
four  ''cubits :  and,  upon  every  one 
of  the  ten  bases  one  laver. 

39  And  he  put  five  bases  on  the

on  the  left  side  of  the  house:  and 
he  set  the  sea  on  the  right  side  of 
the  house  eastward  over  against

40  \  And  *Hl'ram  made  the 
'lavers,  and  the  '"shovels,  and 
the  ®basons.  So  Hi'rain  made  an 
end  of  doing  all  the  work  that  he 
made  king  "Sol'o-mon  for  the 
'•"house  of  the  Lord: 

41  The  two  '^pillars,  and  the 
iwo  bowls  of  the  ■''chapiters  that 
were  on  the  top  of  the  two  pil- 
lars; and  the  two  networks,  to 
cover  the  two  bowls  of  the  chap- 
iters which  were  upon  the  top  of 
the  pillars ; 

42  And  four  hundred  ^ponie- 
granates  for  the  two  networks, 
even  two  rows  of  pomegranates 
for  one  network,  to  cover  the  two 
bowls  of  the  ■'■chapiters  that  loere 
upon  the  pillars; 

43  And  the  ten  bases,  and  ten 
'lavers  on  the  leases ; 

44  And  one  ^sea,  and  twelve 
"oxen  under  the  sea; 

45  And  the  pots,  and  the  '"shov- 
els, and  the  basons :  and  all  these 
vessels,  which  ^Hi'ram  made  to 
king  "Sol'o-mon  for  the  '•  "house 
of  theLoRD,  were  o/bright ''brass. 

46  In  the  plain  of  ''Jor'dan  did 
the  king  '^cast  them,  in  the  clay 
ground  between  ^Siic'coth  and 
'Zjir'than. 

47  And  "S6l'o-mon  left  all  the 
vessels  unweighed,  because  they 
were    exceeding   many:    neither 


was   the   weight   of   the   ''brass 
found  out. 

48  And  "Sol'o-mon  made  all 
the  vessels  that  pertained  unto 
the  'house  of  the  Lord:  the 
"altar  of  "gold,  and  the  table 
of  gold,  whereupon  the  ""shew- 
bread  was, 

49  And  the  ^candlesticks  of 
pure  "gold,  five  on  the  right  side, 
and  five  on  the  left,  before  the 
^oracle,  with  the  flowers,  and  the 
^lamps,  and  the  '^tongs  of  gold, 

50  And  the  "bowls,  and  the 
"•"snufl^ers,  and  the  ®basons,  and 
the  "spoons,  and  the  -"•''censers  of 
pure  ''gold;  and  the  hinges  of 
gold,  both  for  the  doors  of  the 
inner  house,  the  most  holy  place, 
and  for  the  doors  of  the  house, 
to  wit,  of  the  temple. 

51  So  was  ended  all  the  work 
that  king  'Sol'o-mon  made  for 
the  "house  of  the  Lord,  And 
Sol'o-mon  brought  in  the  things 
which  ''•^Da'vid  his  father  had 
dedicated;  even  the  silver,  and 
the  gold,  and  the  vessels,  did  he 
put  -'among  the  treasures  of  the 
%ouse  of  the  Lord.

3  And  all  the  '^elders  of  Is'ra-cl 
came,  and  the  'priests  took  up

4  And  they  brought  up  the  ^'ark 
of  the  Lord,  and  the  ^taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  and 
all  the  holy  vessels  that  %vcre  in 
the  tabernacle,  even  those  did 
the  'priests  and  the  '"Le'vites 
bring  up. 

5  And  king  ''SoFo-mon,  and  all 
the  congregation  of  I.s'ra-el,  that 
were  assembled  unto  him,  were 
with  him  before  the  ^'ark,  sacri- 
ficing sheep  and  oxen,  that  could 
not  be  told  nor  numbered  for 
multitude. 

6  And  the  priests  brought  in 
the  %rk  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  unto  his  place,  into  the 
"oracle  of  the  house,  to  the  "most 
holy  place,  even  under  the  wings 
of  the  ^cherubims. 

7  For  the  ^cherubims  spread 
forth  their  two  wings  over  the 
place  of  the  *ark,  and  the  cher- 
ubims  covered  the  ark  and  the 
staves  thereof  above. 

8  And  Hhey  drew  out  the 
staves,  that  the  ends  of  the 
staves  were  seen  out  in  the  holy 
place  before  the  oracle,  and  they 
were  not  seen  without:  and  there 
they  are  unto  this  day. 

9  There  was  nothing  in  the  ^'ark 
save  the  two  ^tables  of  stone, 
which  ''jVIo'.ses  put  there  at  *Ho'- 
rcb,  when  the  Lord  made  a 
^covenant  with  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  when  they  came  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  'priests  were  come  out  of  the 
"holy  place,  that  the  ^cloud  filled 
the  ""house  of  the  Lord, 

11  So  that  the  ^priests  could 
not  stanrl  to  minister  l)ccause  of 
the  \-loud:  for  the  ^glory  of  the 
Lord  had  filled  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

12  f  ^Then  spake  Sol'o-mon, 
The    ''■''•"Lord    said    that    he 


would  dwell  in  the  thick  dark- 
ness. 

13  I  have  surely  built  thee  an 
house  to  dwell  in,  a  settled  place 
for  thee  to  abide  in  for  ever. 

14  And  the  '^king  turned  his 
face  about,  and  '^blessed  all  the 
congregation  of  Is'ra-el:  (and 
all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el 
stood ;) 

15  And  he  said,  Blessed  he  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
^spake  with  his  mouth  unto 
^Da'vid  my  father,  and  hath 
with  his  hand  ''fulfilled  it,  say- 
ing, 

16  Since  the  day  that  I  brought 
forth  my  people  Is'ra-el  out  of 
''E'gypt,  I  chose  no  city  out  of  all 
the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  build  an 
'house,  that  my  name  might  be 
therein;  but  ^I  chose  ^'Da'vid  to 
be  over  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

17  And  it  was  in  the  heart  of 
''Da'vid  my  father  to  build  an 
'house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord 
God  of  I§'ra-el. 

18  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
T^a'vid  my  father.  Whereas  it 
was  in  thine  heart  to  build  an 
4iouse  unto  my  name,  thou  didst 
well  that  it  was  In  thine  heart. 

19  Nevertheless  thou  shalt  not 
build  the  4iouse;  but  thy  son 
that  shall  come  forth  out  of  thy 
loins,  he  shall  build  the  house 
unto  my  name. 

20  And  the  Lord  ^hath  per- 
formed his  word  that  he  spake, 
and  ''I  am  risen  up  in  the  room 
of  Da'vid  my  father,  and  sit  on 
the  'throne  of  Is'ra-el,  as  the 
Lord  promised,  and  have  built 
an  house  for  the  name  of  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

21  And  I  have  set  there  a  place 
for  the  '"ark,  wherein  ?.v  the

fore  the  altar  of  the  Lord  in  the 
presence  of  all  the  congregation 
of  I§'ra-el,  and  spread  forth  his 
hands  toward  heaven: 

23  And  he  ^said,  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  there  is  no  God  like 
thee,  in  heaven  above,  or  on 
earth  beneath,  ^who  keepest 
"covenant  and  ^mercy  with  thy 
servants  that  ''•^walk  before  thee 
with  all  their  heart : 

24  ''Who  hast  kept  with  thy 
servant  '^Da'vid  my  father  that 
thou  promisedst  him:  thou  spak- 
est  also  with  thy  mouth,  and 
"hast  fulfilled  it  with  thine  hand, 
as  it  is  this  day. 

25  ^Therefore  now.  Lord  God 
of  I.s'ra-el,  keep  with  thy  serv- 
ant Da'vid  my  father  that  thou 
"promisedst  him,  saying,  There 
shall  not  fail  thee  a  man  in  my 
sight  to  sit  on  the  throne  of  Is'- 
ra-el; ''so  that  thy  children  "take 
heed  to  their  way,  that  they  walk 
before  me  as  thou  hast  walked 
before  me. 

26  'And  now,  O  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
let  thy  'Hvord,  I  pray  thee,  be 
verified,  which  thou  spakest  unto 
thy  servant  Da'vid  my  father. 

27  But  will  God  indeed  dwell 
on  the  earth?  behold,  the  heav- 
en and  heaven  of  heavens  cannot 
contain  ''■"'thee;  how  much  less 
this  '■'  ^'house  that  I  have  builded  ? 

28  ^Yet  have  thou  respect  unto 
the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  to 
his  supplication,  O  Lord  my 
God,  to  hearken  unto  the  cry 
and  to  the  prayer,  which  thy  serv- 
ant prayeth  l)efore  thee  to  day: 

29  That  thine  eyes  may  be 
opened  toward  this  house  night 
and  day,  even  toward  the  place 
of  which  thou  hast  said.  My 
name  shall  be  there:  that  thou 
mayest  hearken  unto  the  prayer 
which  thy  servant  shall  make  to- 
ward this  place. 


30  And  hearken  thou  to  the 
supplication  of  thy  servant,  and 
^of  thy  people  Ls'ra-el,  when 
they  shall  pray  toward  this 
place:  and  hear  thou  in  ^heaven 
thy  dwelling  place:  and  when 
thou  hearest,  "forgive. 

31  T[  If  any  man  trespass 
against  his  neighbour,  and  an 
*oath  be  laid  upon  4iim  to 
''■^cause  him  to  swear,  and  Hhe 
oath  come  before  thine  altar  in 
this  house: 

32  Then  hear  thou  in  heaven, 
and  do,  and  ^judge  thy  servants, 
condemning  the  wicked,  to  bring 
his  way  upon  his  head;  and  jus- 
tifying the  rJghteous,  to  give  him 
according  to  his  righteousness. 

33  T[  When  thy  people  Ls'ra-el 
be  smitten  down  before  the  ene- 
my, ''•''^because  they  have  sinned 
against  thee,  and  ^shall  turn 
again  to  thee,  and  confess  thy 
name,  and  'pray,  and  make  sup- 
plication unto  thee  in  this  house : 

34  Then  hear  thou  in  heaven, 
and  "forgive  the  sin  of  thy  peo- 
ple Ls'ra-el,  and  bring  them 
again  unto  the  land  which  thou 
gavest  unto  their  fathers. 

35  ^  When  heaven  is  ''^shut  up, 
and  there  is  ^no  '"'"rain,  because 
they  have  sinned  against  thee;  if 
they  'pray  toward  this  place,  and 
confess  thy  name,  and  '^•'turn 
from  their  sin,  when  thou  afflict- 
est  them : 

36  '•  ''^Then  hear  thou  in  "heaven, 
and  "forgive  the  sin  of  thy  serv- 
ants, and  of  thy  people  Ls'ra-el, 
that  ^thou  ^■'^teach  them  the 
'good  way  wherein  they  should 
walk,  and  give  '"•"rain  upon  thy 
land,  which  thou  hast  given  to 
thy  people  for  an  inheritance.

54  ^  And  it  was  so,  that  when 
^Sol'o-mon  had  made  an  end  of 
praying  all  this  prayer  and  sup- 
plication unto  the  Lord,  he 
arose  from  before  the  altar  of 
the  Lord,  from  ^kneeling  on  his 
knees  with  his  hands  spread  up 
to  heaven. 

55  And  he  stood,  and  "blessed 
all  the  congregation  of  Ls'ra-el 
with  a  loud  voice,  saying, 

56  "Blessed  be  the  Lord,  that 
hath  given  rest  unto  his  people 
Is'ra-el,  '^according  to  all  that  he 
promised:  there  '"hath  not  failed 
one  word  of  all  his  good  prom- 
ise, which  he  promised  by  the 
hand  of  Mo'.seg  his  servant. 

57  The  '^LoRD  our  God  be  with 
us,  as  he  was  with  our  fathers: 
let  him  not  leave  us,  nor  forsake 
us: 

58  That  he  may  incline  our 
hearts  unto  him,  to  walk  in  all 
his  ways,  and  to  keep  his  com- 
mandments, and  his  statutes, 
and  his  judgments,  which  he 
commanded  our  fathers. 

59  And  let  these  my  words, 
wherewith  I  have  made  *suppli- 
cation  before  the  Lord,  be  nigh 
unto  the  Lord  our  God  day  and 
night,  that  he  maintain  the  cause 
of  his  servant,  and  the  cause  of 
his  people  Is'ra-el  %t  all  times, 
as  the  matter  shall  require: 

60  That  all  the  people  of  the 
earth  may  know  that  the  ^Lord 
is  God,  and  that  there  is  none 
else. 

61  Let  your  ^heart  therefore  be 
^perfect  with  the  Lord  our  God, 
to  walk  in  his  statutes,  and  to 
'keep  his  commandments,  as  at 
this  day. 

62  ^  ^And  the  ^'king,  and  all 
Is'ra-el  with  him,  'offered  sacri- 
fice before  the  I.rORD. 

63  And    ^Sol'o-mon   offered  a 

54 


sacrifice  of  '"peace  offerings, 
which  he  offered  unto  the  Lord, 
two  and  twenty  thousand  ''oxen, 
and  an  hundred  and  twenty 
thousand  "sheep.  So  the  king 
and  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
^dedicated  the  ^house  of  the 
Lord. 

64  The  same  day  did  the  king 
hallow  tne  middle  of  the  ''court 
that  was  before  the  house  of  the 
Lord:  for  there  he  offered 
^burnt  offerings,  and  ^'^meat  of- 
ferings, and  the  fat  of  the  '"peace 
offerings:  because  the  brasen 
"altar  that  was  before  the  Lord 
teas  too  little  to  receive  the  burnt 
offerings,  and  ''meat  offerings, 
and  the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings. 

65  T[  And  at  that  time  ^Sol'o- 
mon  held  a  ^' "'feast,  and  all  Is'- 
ra-el witli  him,  a  great  congrega- 
tion, from  the  entering  in  of 
•''Ha'math  unto  the  river  of 
^E'gypt,  before  the  Lord  our 
God,  seven  days  and  seven  days, 
even  fourteen  days. 

66  On  the  eighth  day  he  sent 
the  people  away:  and  they 
blessed  the  king,  and  went  unto 
their  tents  ^joyful  and  glad  of 
heart  for  all  the  goodness  that 
the  Lord  ''had  done  for  "Da'vid 
his  servant,  and  for  Is'ra-el  his 
people.

I  have  heard  thy  Sprayer  and 
thy  supplication,  that  thou  hast 
made  before  me:  I  have  "hal- 
lowed this  house,  "which  thou 
hast  built,  to  put  my  name  tiiere 
for  ever;  and  mine  eyes  and  mine 
heart  shall  l>e  there  perpetually. 

4  And  "if  thou  Vilt  walk  be- 
fore me,  ^is  Da'vid  thy  father 
walked,  in  ^inteo;rity  of  heart, 
and  in  uprightness,  to  do  ac- 
cording to  all  that  I  have  com- 
manded thee,  and  will  keep  my 
statutes  and  my  judgments: 

5  Then  'I  will  '"establish  the 
throne  of  thy  kingdom  upon 
Ls'ra-el  for  ever,  as  I  "promised 
to  Da'vid  thy  father,  sa}ing, 
There  shall  not  fail  thee  a  man 
upon  the  throne  ot  Is'ra-el. 

6  But  if  ye  shall  at  all  "turn 
from  following  me,  ye  or  your 
children,  and  ^will  not  keep  my 
commandments  and  my  statutes 
which  I  have  set  before  you,  but 
go  and  'serve  other  gods,  and 
worship  them : 

7  Then  will  I  'cut  off  Is'ra-el 
out  of  the  *land  which  I  have 
given  them;  and  this  house, 
which  I  have  hallowed  for  my 
name,  will  I  cast  out  of  my  sight; 
and  Ls'ra-el  shall  be  a  proverb 
and  a  byword  among  all  people : 

8  And  at  this  *'  ''house,  which  is 
high,  every  one  that  passeth  by 
it  shall  be  astonished,  and  shall 
hiss;  and  they  shall  say.  Why 
hath  the  Lord  done  thus  unto 
this  land,  and  to  this  house  ? 

9  And  they  shall  answer  Be- 
cause °thcy  forsook  the  Lord 


their  God,  'who  brought  forth 
their  fathers  out  of  the  land  of 
^E'g^pt,  and  have  taken  hold 
upon  other  gods,  and  have 
"worshipped  them,  and  served 
tiiein :  ''therefore  hath  the  Lord 
brought  upon  them  all  tliis  evil. 

10  \  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  twenty  years,  when  "Sol'- 
o-mon  had  built  the  two  houses, 
the  '"•''house  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  Icing's  '^house, 

11  {"Now  Hi'ram  the  Idng  of 
''Tyre  had  furnished  "Sol'o-mon 
with  "'cedar  trees  and  ^fir  trees, 
and  with  gold,  according  to  all 
his  desire,)  that  "then  1-dng  Sol'o- 
mon  ^gave  Hi'ram  twenty  cities 
in  the  land  of  "Gal'i-lee. 

12  And  '^Hi'ram  came  out  from 
''Tyre  to  see  the  cities  which 
^Sol'o-mon  had  given  him;  and 
they  pleased  him  not. 

13  And  he ''said.  What  cities 
are  these  which  thou  hast  given 
me,  my  brother  ?  And  he  called 
them  the  land  of  Ca'biil  unto 
this  day. 

14  And  "Hi'ram  sent  to  the 
king  sixscore  "talents  of  gold. 

15  ^  And  this  is  the  reason  of 
the  ''levy  which  king  '"Sol'o-mon 
raised ;  for  to  build  the  "house  of 
the  Lord,  and  his  own  ''house, 
and  ^Mil'16,  and  the  wall  of 
'Jerii'sa,-lem,  and  '^Ha'zor,  and 
'iSIe-gid'do,  and  '"Ge'zer. 

16  For  "^Pha'raoh  king  of 
"E'gypt  had  gone  up,  and  taken 
'"(je'zer,  and  buriit  it  with  fire, 
and  slain  the  '^Ca'niian-Ttes  that 
dwelt  in  the  city,  and  given  it  jor

Sol'o-inon  desired  to  buikl  'in

20  And  all  the  people  ihat 
were  left  of  the^Am'or-Ttes,  ^Hit'- 
tites,  "Per'iz-zites,  "Hi'vites,  and 
'^Jeb'u- sites,  which  %ocre  not  of

21  Their  children  that  were 
left  after  them  in  the  land,  whom 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  also  were 
not  able  utterly  to  destroy,  ^up- 
on those  did  '^Sol'o-mon  levy  a 
^tribute  of  bondservice  unto  this

22  But  of  the  children  of  Is'-

war,  and  his  servants,  and  his 
princes,  ami  his  ^captains,  and 
rulers  of  his  ''chariots,  and  his 
horsemen. 

23  These  were  the  chief  of  the 
officers  that  were  over  '^Sol'o- 
mon's  work,  five  hundred  and 
fifty,  which  bare  rule  over  the 
people  that  wrought  in  the

24  H  But  ''Pha'ra5h's  daughter 
came  up  out  of  the  'city  of  Da'-

he  build  'T^Iil'16. 


25  T[  And  three  times  in  a  year 
ditl  ''Sol'o-mon  offer  *burnt  of- 
ferings and  'peace  offerings  upon 
the  '"altar  which  he  built  unto 
the  Lord,  and  he  burnt  incense 
upon  the  "altar  that  ivas  before 
the  Lord.  So  he  finished  the

26  Tl  And  king  ''Soro-mon 
"made  a  '^navy  of  *ships  in  ''E'zi-

28  And  -^they  came  to  ^O'phlr,

isters, and  their  apparel,  and  his 
^cupbearers,  and  his  ^ascent  by 
which  he  went  up  unto  the 
^house  of  the  I^okd;  there  was 
no  more  spirit  in  her. 

6  And  she  said  to  the  '^king.  It 
was  a  true  report  that  I  heard  in 
mine  own  laiul  of  thy  acts  and  of 
thy  'wisdom. 

7  Howbeit  I  lielieveil  not  the 
words,  until  I  came,  and  mine 
eyes  had  seen  it:  and,  behold,  the 
half  was  not  told  me:  thy  'wis- 
dom and  prosperity  exceedeth 
the  fame  which  I  heard. 

8  Happy  are  thy  men,  happy 
are  these  thy  servants,  which 
stand  continually  before  thee, 
and  that  hear  thy  ^visdom. 

9  Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy 
God,  which  delighted  in  thee,  to 
set  thee  on  the  'throne  of  Is'- 
ra-el:  becau.se  the  I^ord  loved 
I.s'ra-el  for  ever,  therefore  made 
he  thee  king,  to  do  '""jndgment 
and  justice. 

10  And  she  "gave  the  '^king 
an  "hundred  and  twenty  ^talents 
of  ''gold,  and  of  ^-"spices  very 
great  store,  and  ^'precious 
stones :  there  came  no  more  such 
abundance  of  spices  as  the.se 
which  the  *queen  of  *She'bu 
gave  to   kin<r   ''Sol'o-mon. 


11  And  the  '-'navy  al.so  of  "IIi'- 
rain,  that  "brought  ''gold  from 
'O'phir,  brought  in  from  ()'})hTr 
great  plenty  of  "alinug  trees, 
and  ^precious  stones. 

12  And  the  king  made  of  the 
"almug  trees  'pillars  for  the 
^house  of  the  Lord,  and  for  the 
king's  "house,  '•  ^harps  also  and 
psalteries  for  singers :  there  came 
no  such  almug  trees,  nor  were 
seen  imto  this  day. 

13  And  king  ''Sol'o-mon  gave 
unto  the  queen  of  *She'ba  all 
her  desire,  whatsoever  she  asked, 
beside  that  which  SSro-mon 
'gave  her  of  his  royal  bounty. 
So  she  turned  and  went  to  her 
own  country,  she  and  her  serv- 
ants. 

14  T[  Now  the  weight  of  "•"gold 
that  came  to  ''Sol'o-mon  in  one 
year  was  six  hundred  threescore 
and  .six  ''talents  of  gold, 

15  Beside  "that  Vie  had  of  the 
•"merchantmen,  and  of  the  ^traf- 
fick  of  the  spice  merchants,  and 
of  all  the  kings  of  ^-'A-ra'bl-a, 
and  of  the  governors  of  the 
country. 

16  ^  And  king  '^Sol'o-mon 
made  two  hundred  targets  0/ 
beaten  "gold:  six  hundred 
^shekels  of  gold  went  to  one 
target. 

17  And  he  made  three  hundred 
"shields  of  beaten  ''gold;  three 
pound  of  gold  went  to  one  shield : 
and  the  king  put  them  in  the

non. 

18  Tf  Moreover  the  king  made 
a  great  '^'throne  of  'ivory,  and 
overlaid  it  with  the  best  "gold. 

19  The  ^throne  had  six  steps, 
and  the  top  of  the  throne  was 
round  behind:  and  there  were 
stays  on  either  side  on  the  place 
of  the  seat,  and  two  '"lions  stood 
beside  the  stays. 

20  And  twelve  '"lions  stood 
there  on  the  one  side  and  on  the 
other  upon  the  six  steps:  there 
was  not  the  like  made  in  any 
kingdom. 

21  And  all  king  ^Ssro-mon's 
drinldng  vessels  were  of  *gold, 
and  all  the  vessels  of  the  *house 
of  the  forest  of  'Leb'a-iion  were 
of  pure  gold;  none  were  of  ''sil- 
ver: it  was  nothing  accounted  of 
in  the  days  of  Sol'o-mon. 

22  For  the  king  had  at  sea  a 
"navy  of  ^Thar'shish  with  the 
navy  of  ^Hl'ram:  once  in  three 
years  came  the  navy  of  Thiir'- 
shish,4j ringing  "gold,  and  "silver, 
'ivory,  and  '^apes,  and  ''peacocks. 

23  So  king  ''SSl'o-mon  exceed- 
ed all  the  kings  of  the  earth  for 
^riches  and  for  'wisdom. 

24  Tf  And  all  the  earth  sought  to 
'"Sol'o-mon,  to  hear  his  'wisdom, 
which  God  had  put  in  his  heart. 

25  And  they  brought  every 
man  his  "'^'present,  vessels  of  ''sil- 
ver, and  vessels  of  gold,  and  gar- 
ments, and  armour,  and  ^spices, 
'"horses,  and  ^mules,  a  rate  year 
by  year. 

26  ^  ^And  Sol'o-mon  gathered 
together  chariots  and  ^horse- 
men: and  he  had  a  thou- 
sand and  four  hundred  chariots, 
and  twelve  thousand  horsemen, 
whom  he  bestowed  in  the  "cities 
for  chariots,  and  with  the  king  at 
"Je-rii'sa-l&m. 

27  And  the  king  made  ''silver  to 


be  in  "  Je-ru'sa-lem  as  stones,  and 
cedars  made  he  to  be  as  the 
''sycomore  trees  that  are  in  the 
vale,  for  abundance. 

28  T[  And  «S6l'o-mon  had 
"■'horses  brought  out  of  ^E'gypt, 
*and  linen  yarn :  the  king's  ''mer- 
chants received  the  linen  yarn 
at  a  price. 

29  And  a  "-'chariot  came  up 
and  went  out  of  ''E'gypt  for  six 
hundred  Shekels  of  ''silver,  and 
an  'horse  for  an  hundred  and 
fifty:  and  so  for  all  the  kings  of 
the  ^Hit'tites,  and  for  the  kings 
of  'Syr'i-a,  did  they  bring  them 
out  by  their  means.

dred ^concubines:  and  his  *wives 
'■■  'turned  away  his  heart.

6  And  S6l'o-mon  "'did  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  "went 
not  fully  after  the  Lord,  ^as 
did  "Da'vid  his  father. 

7  Then  did  Sol'o-mon  build  an 
^high  place  for  ^Che'mosh,  the 
abomination  of  ISIo'ab,  in  the 
hill  that  is  before  "Je-rii'sa-lem, 
and  for  ^INIo'lech,  the  abomina- 
tion of  the  ''children  of  Am'mon. 

8  And  likewise  did  he  for  all  his 
strange  wives,  which  burnt  "^in- 
cense  and  '^sacrificed  unto  their 
gods. 

9  \  And  the  Lord  was  ''angry 
with  'Sol'o-mon,  because  his 
heart  "was  turned  from  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
had  ''appeared  unto  him  twice, 

10  And  had  commanded  him 
concerning  this  thing,  that  he 
should  not  ''go  after  other  gods: 
but  he  'kept  not  that  which  the 
Lord  commanded. 

11  Wherefore  the  Lord  said 
unto  ^Sol'o-mon,  Forasmuch  as 
this  is  done  of  thee,  and  thou 
hast  not  kept  my  covenant  and 
my  statutes,  which  I  have  com- 
manded thee,  '-^I  will  surely 
rend  the  kingdom  from  thee,  and 
will  give  it  to  thy  servant. 

12  Notwithstanding  in  'thy 
days  I  will  not  do  it  '"for  '^Da'vid 
thy  father's  sake :  hid  I  ''^will  rend 
it  out  of  the  hand  of  thy   son. 

13  Howbeit  I  will  not  rend 
away  all  the  kingdom;  hut  will 
give  one  tribe  to  thy  ^son  '"for 
"Da'vid  my  servant's  sake,  and 
for  ''.Te-rii'sa-lem's  sake  which  I 
have  chosen. 

14  ^  And  the  Lord  "stirred  up 
an   adversary  unto  ^Sol'o-mon, 


Ha'dad  the  E'dom-Ite:  he  was 
of  the  Iving's  seed  in  E'dom. 

15  For  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Da'vid  was  in  E'dom,  and 
^Jo'ab  the  captain  of  the  host 
was  gone  up  to  bury  the  slain, 
after  he  had  smitten  every  male 
in  E'dom; 

16  (For  six  months  did  ^Jo'S,b 
remain  there  with  all  Is'ra-el, 
until  he  had  cut  off  every  male 
in  E'dom:) 

17  That  Ha'dad  "fled,  he  and 
certain  E'dom-ites  of  his  father's 
servants  with  him,  to  go  into 
''E'gypt;  Ha'dad  being  yet  a  ht- 
tle  child. 

18  And  they  arose  out  of  Mid'- 
i-an,  and  came  to  ^Pa'ran: 
and  they  took  men  with  them 
out  of  Pa'ran,  and  they  came  to 
''E'gypt,  unto  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gypt;  which  gave  him  an 
house,  and  appointed  him  vic- 
tuals, and  gave  him  land. 

19  And  Ha'dad  found  great 
favour  in  the  sight  of  Pha'raoh, 
so  that  he  gave  him  to  wife  the 
sister  of  his  own  wife,  the  sister 
of  Tah'pen-e§  the  •^queen. 

20  And  the  sister  of  Tah'pcn-es 
bare  him  Ge-nu'bath  his  son, 
whom  Tjih'pen-e.s  weaned  in 
Pha'raoh's  -house:  and  Ge-nu'- 
bath was  in  Pha'raoh's  house- 
hold among  the  sons  of  Pha'- 
raoh. 

21  And  when  Ha'dad  heard  in 
E'gypt  that  Da'vid  'slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  that  Jo'ab  the 
captain  of  the  host  was  dead, 
Ha'dad  said  to  Pha'raoh,  I.iet 
me  depart,  that  I  may  go  to 
"mine  own  country. 

22  Then  Pha'raoh  said  unto 
him.  But  what  hast  thou  lacked 
with  me,  that,  behold,  thou  seek-

est  to  go  to  thine  own  country  ? 
And  he  answered,  Nothing: 
howbeit  let  me  go  in  any  wise. 

23  T[  And  God  "stirred  him  up 
another  adversary,  Re'zon  the 
son  of  E-lI'a-dah,  which  'fled 
from  his  lord  "Had-ad-e'zer  king 
of  "-Zo'bah: 

24  And  he  gathered  men  unto 
him,  and  became  captain  over  a 
band,  when  Da'vid  slew  them 
of  ^Zo'bah:  and  they  went  to 
^Da-mas'cus,  and  dwelt  there- 
in, and  reigned  in  Da-mas'cus. 

25  And  he  was  an  adversary  to 
Is'ra-el  all  the  days  of  Sol'o- 
mon,  beside  the  mischief  that 
Ha'dad  did:  and  he  abhorred 
Ls'ra-el,  and  reigned  over 
^'Syr'i-a. 

26  T[  And  ^Jer-o-bo'am  the  son 
of  '^Ne'bat,  an  lEph'rath-Ite  of 
Zer'e-dji,  ''Sol'o-mon's  servant, 
whose  mother's  name  was  Ze- 
ru'ah,  a  widow  woman,  even  ''he 
lifted  up  his  hand  against  the 
king. 

27  And  this  was  the  cause  that 
'^he  lifted  up  his  hand  against  the 
king:  Ssro-mon  built  '^Mil'lo, 
a7id  repaired  the  l^reaches  of  the 
*city  of  Da'vid  his  father. 

28  And  the  man  ^Jer-o-bo'am 
was  a  mighty  man  of  valour:  and 
Sol'o-mon  seeing  the  young  man 
that  he  was  "industrious,  he 
^•''made  him  ruler  over  all  the 
charge  of  the  house  of  Jo'.seph. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that 
time  when  ''Jer-o-bo'am  went 
out  of  ''Je-rii'sfi-lem,  that  the 
prophet  ^A-hT'jah  the  Shl'lo- 
nite  found  him  in  the  way;  "and 
he  had  clad  himself  with  a  new 
garment;  and  they  two  were 
alone  in  the   field: 

30  And    l\-hT'jah  caught  the 


new  garment  that  ^vas  on  him, 
and  rent  it  in  twelve  pieces : 

31  And  he  said  to  'Jer-o-bo'am, 
Take  thee  ten  pieces:  for  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Behold,  *I  will  'rend 
the  kingdom  out  of  the  hand 
of  ''Sol'o-mon,  and  will  give 
ten  tribes  to  thee: 

32  (But  he  shall  have  one  tribe 
*for  my  servant  Da'vid's  sake, 
and  for  *Je-ru'sa-lem's  sake,  the 
city  which  I  have  chosen  out  of 
all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el:) 

33  Because  that  they  have  for- 
saken me,  and  have  Worshipped 
*Ash'to-reth  the  goddess  of  the 
"'Zi-do'ni-ans,  ''Che'mosh  the 
god  of  the  °Mo'ab-ites,  and  Mil'- 
com  the  god  of  the  ^children  of 
Am'mon,  and  'have  not  walked 
in  my  ways,  to  do  that  which  is 
right  in  mine  eyes,  and  to  keep 
my  statutes  and  my  judgments, 
as  did  Da'vid  his  father. 

34  Howbeit  I  will  not  take  the 
whole  kingdom  out  of  his  hand : 
but  I  will  make  him  prince  all 
the  days  of  his  life  for  Da'vid  my 
servant's  sake,  whom  I  chose, 
because  he  '^kept  my  command- 
ments and  my  statutes: 

35  But  I  will  take  the  kingdom 
out  of  his  son's  hand,  and  will 
give  it  unto  thee,  eimi  ten  tribes. 

36  And  unto  his  son  will  I  give 
one  tribe,  that  Dfi'vid  my  serv- 
ant may  have  a  ^light  alway  be- 
fore me  in  *  Je-i'u'sa-lem,  the  city 
which  I  have  chosen  me  to  put 
my  name  there. 

37  And  'I  will  take  'thee,  and 
thou  shalt  reign  according  to  all 
that  thy  soul  desireth,  and  shalt 
be   king   over   Is'ra-el.

grown  up  with  him,  and  which 
stood  before  him: 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  Wliat 
counsel  give  ye  that  we  may  an- 
swer this  people,  who  have  spo- 
ken to  me,  saying,  Make  the 
^yoke  which  thy  father  did  put 
upon  us  lighter  ? 

10  And  the  ''young  men  that 
were  grown  up  with  him  spake 
unto  him,  saying,  Thus  shalt 
thou  speak  unto  this  people  that 
spake  unto  thee,  saying,  Thy 
father  made  our  'yoke  heavy,  but 
make  thou  it  lighter  unto  us; 
thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  them, 
jNIy  httle  finger  shall  be  thicker 
than  my  father's  loins. 

11  And  now  whereas  my  father 
did  lade  you  with  a  heavy  'yoke, 
I  *will  add  to  your  yoke:  my 
father  hath  ^chastised  you  with 
whips,  but  I  will  chastise  you 
with  'scorpions. 

12  ^  So  ''Jer-o-bo'am  and  all 
the  people  came  to  *Re-ho-bo'- 
am  the  third  day,  as  the  king  had 
appointed,  saying.  Come  to  me 
again  the  third  day. 

13  And  the  king  answered  the 
people  roughly,  and  ^forsook  the 
"old  men's  '"counsel  that  they 
gave  him; 

14  And  spake  to  them  after  the 
counsel  of  the  ''young  men,  say- 
ing, ]My  father  made  your  'yoke 
heavy,  and  I  ''will  add  to  your 
yoke:  my  father  also  ^chastised 
you  with  whips,  but  I  will  chas- 
tise you  with  'scorpions. 

15  Wherefore  the  king  heark- 
ened not  unto  the  people;  "for 
'the  cause  was  from  the  "'Lord, 
that  he  might  perform  his  ^say- 
ing, which  the  Lord  spake  by 


^A-hl'jah   the    Shi'lo-nlte    unto 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat. 

16  T[  So  when  all  *Is'ra-el  saw 
that  the  king  hearkened  not  unto 
them,  the  'people  answered  the 
king,  saying.  What  portion  have 
we  in  Da'vid  ?  neither  have  we 
inheritance  in  the  son  of  Jes'se: 
''to  your  tents,  O  Is'ra-el:  now 
see  to  thine  own  house,  Da'vid. 
So  Ls'ra-el  departed  unto  their 
tents. 

17  But  as  for  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  which  dwelt  in  the  cities 
of  Ju'dah,  "Re-ho-bo'am  reigned 
over  them. 

18  Then  king  *Re-ho-bo'am 
sent  '^A-do'ram,  who  ivas  over 
the  -'''tribute;  and  all  I.s'ra-el 
^stoned  him  with  stones,  that  he 
died.  Therefore  king  Re-ho- 
bo'am  made  speed  to  get  him 
up  to  his  chariot,  to  ''flee  to  ''Je- 
rii'sa-lem. 

19  So  I.s'ra-el  rebelled  against 
the  house  of  Da'vid  unto  this 
day. 

20  T[  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  Is'ra-el  heard  that  'Jer-o-bo'- 
am  was  come  again,  that  they 
sent  and  called  him  unto  the  con- 
gregation, and  made  him  king 
over  all  I.s'ra-el:  there  was  none 
that  followed  the  house  of  Da'- 
vid, but  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah  only. 

21  t  ^And  when  ''Re-ho-bo'am 
was  come  to  ''Je-ni'sa-lem,  he 
assembled  all  the  house  of  Ju'- 
dah, with  the  tribe  of  ^Ben'ja- 
min,  an  hundred  and  fourscore 
thousand  chosen  men,  which 
were  warriors,  to  fight  against 
the  house  of  *  Is'ra-el,  to  bring 
the  kingdom  again  to  Re-ho- 
b5'am  the  son  of  'Sol'o-mon.

22  But  the  word  of  God  came 
unto  ^Sliem-a-i'ah  the  man  of 
God,  saving, 

23  Speak  unto  ''Re-ho-bo'am, 
the  son  of  'Sol'o-mon,  king  of 
'"Ju'dah,  and  unto  all  the  house 
of  Ju'dah  and  Bcn'ja-min,  and 
to  the  remnant  of  the  people, 
sa}ing, 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight  against 
your  brethren  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el:  return  every  man  to 
his  house ;  for  "this  thing  is  from 
"me.  They  hearkened  therefore 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and 
returned  to  depart,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord. 

25  Tl  Then  'Jer-o-bo'am  built 
^She'chem  in  mount  ^E'phra- 
im,  and  dwelt  therein;  and  went 
out  from  thence,  and  built  '^Pe- 
nu'el. 

26  *\  And  *  Jer-o-bo'am  said  in 
his  heart.  Now  shall  the  kingdom 
return  to  the  house  of  Da'vid : 

27  If  this  people  go  up  to  do 
'sacrifice  in  the  "house  of  the 
Lord  at  ''Je-ru'sa-lem,  then 
shall  the  heart  of  this  people  turn 
again  unto  their  lord,  even  unto 
''Re-ho-bo'am  king  of  Ju'dah, 
and  they  shall  kill  me,  and  go 
again  to  Re-ho-bo'am  king  of 
Ju'dah. 

28  ^•"'Whereupon  the  *king 
took  counsel,  and  ^made  two 
^' ^calves  oj  gold,  and  said  un- 
to them.  It  is  too  much  for 
you  to  go  up  to  Je-rii'sa-lem : 
behold  thy  gods,  O  Ls'ra-el, 
which  brought  thee  up  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt. 

29  And  he  set  the  one  in  «Beth'- 
el,  and  the  other  put  he  in  ''Dan. 

30  And  this  thing  became  a  sin: 


for  the  people  went  to  '^worship 
before  the  one,  even  unto  Dan. 

31  And  ''■'he  made  an  Hiouse  of 
''high  places,  and  made  ''''priests 
^of  the  lowest  of  the  people, 
which  were  not  of  the  sons  of 
Le'vL 

32  And  '^•^Jer-o-bo'am  or- 
dained a  ^feast  in  the  eighth 
^month,  on  the  fifteenth  day  of 
the  month,  like  unto  the  feast 
that  is  in  Ju'dah,  and  he  ''of- 
fered upon  the  'altar.  So  did 
he  in  "Beth'-el,  '^sacrificing  unto 
the  calves  that  he  had  made: 
and  he  placed  in  Beth'-el  the 
''priests  of  the  ^high  places  which 
he  had  made. 

33  So  he  ^offered  upon  the  altar 
which  he  had  made  in  "Beth'-el 
the  fifteenth  day  of  the  eighth 
*^month,  even  in  the  mon^h  which 
he  had  devised  of  his  own  heart; 
and  ordained  a  'feast  unto  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el:  and  he  ^of- 
fered upon  the  '"altar,  and  burnt 
"incense.

burn  incense  upon  thee,  and 
men's  bones  shall  be  burnt  upon 
thee. 

3  And  he  gave  a  *sign  the  same 
day,  saying,  This  is  the  sign 
which  the  Lord  hath  spoken; 
Behold,  the  altar  shall  be  rent, 
and  the  ashes  that  are  upon  it 
shall  be  poured  out. 

4  T[  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
king  '^''^Jer-o-bo'am  heard  the 
saving  of  the  "man  of  God,  which 
had  cried  against  the  altar  in 
*Beth'-el,  that  ^he  put  forth  his 
hand  from  the  altar,  saying.  Lay 
hold  on  him.  And  his  hand, 
which  he  put  forth  against  him, 
*dried  up,  so  that  he  could  not 
pull  it  in  again  to  him. 

5  'l^he  altar  also  ^'was  rent,  and 
the  ashes  poured  out  from  the 
altar,  according  to  the  'sign 
which  the  man  of  God  had  given 
by  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  '^king  answered  and 
said  unto  the  "man  of  God,  Li- 
treat  now  the  'face  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  and  pray  for  me,  that 
my  hand  may  be  restored  me 
again.  "'And  the  man  of  God 
"besought  the  Lord,  and  the 
king's  hand  was  restored  him 
again,  and  became  as  it  was  be- 
fore. 

7  T[  And  the  '"king  said  imto  the 
"man  of  God,  "Come  home  with 
me,  and  refresh  thyself,  and  I 
Avill  give  thee  a  ''reward. 

8  And  the  "man  of  God  said 
unto  the  king;,  If  thou  wilt  give 
me  half  thine  house,  *'I  will  not 
go  in  with  thee,  neither  will  I  eat 
bread  nor  drink  water  in  this 
place : 

9  For  so  was  it  charged  me  by 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  saying, 
Eat  no  bread,  nor  drink  water, 
nor  turn  again  by  the  same  way 
that  thou  camest. 

10  So  he  went  another  way,  and 


returned  not  by  the  way  that  he 
came  to  ''Beth'-el. 

11  ^  Now  there  dwelt  an  old 
*prophet  in  ''Beth  -el;  and  his 
sons  came  and  told  him  all  the 
works  that  the  man  of  God  had 
done  that  day  in  Beth'-el:  the 
words  which  he  had  spoken  unto 
the  '^king,  them  they  told  also  to 
their  father. 

12  And  their  father  said  unto 
them,  What  way  went  he  ?  For 
his  sons  had  seen  what  way  the 
man  of  God  went,  which  came 
from  'Ju'dah. 

13  And  he  said  unto  his  sons, 
Saddle  me  the  ass.  So  they  sad- 
dled him  the  ass:  and  he  rode 
thereon, 

14  And  went  after  the  man  of 
God,  and  found  him  sitting  un- 
der an  oak:  and  he  said  unto 
him,  A>'t  thou  the  man  of  God 
that  camest  from  'Ju'dah  ?  And 
he  said,  I  am. 

15  Then  he  said  unto  him, 
"Come  home  with  me,  and  eat 
bread. 

16  And  he  *said,  I  may  not  re- 
turn with  thee,  nor  go  in  with 
thee :  neither  will  I  eat  bread  nor 
drink  water  with  thee  in  this 
place : 

17  For  it  was  said  to  me  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  Thou  shalt 
eat  no  bread  nor  drink  water 
there,  nor  turn  again  to  go  by  the 
way  that  thou  camest. 

18  He  said  unto  him,  I  am  a 
*prophet  also  as  thou  art;  "and 
an  angel  spake  unto  me  by  the 
word  of  the  I^ord,  saying.  Bring 
him  back  with  thee  into  thine 
house,  that  he  may  eat  bread 
and  drink  water.  But  he  "'lied 
unto  him. 

19  So  he  ^'^/went  back  with 
him,  and  did  eat  bread  in  his 
house,  and  drank  water, 

20  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
they  sat  at  the  table,  that  the

the  prophet  that  brought    him 
back: 

21  And  he  cried  unto  the  man 
of  God  that  came  from  Ju'dah, 
sajing,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Forasmuch  as  thou  hast  ^dis- 
obeyed the  mouth  of  the  Lord, 
and  hast  not  kept  the  command- 
ment which  the  Lord  thy  God 
commanded  thee, 

22  But  ''camest  back,  and  hast 
eaten  l)read  and  drunk  water 
in  the  place,  of  the  which  Hhe 
Lord  did  say  to  thee.  Eat  no 
bread,  and  drink  no  water;  Hhy 
carcase  shall  not  come  unto  the 
sepulchre  of  thy  fathers. 

23  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  after 
he  had  eaten  bread,  and  after  he 
had  drunk,  that  he  saddled  for 
him  the  "^ass,  to  wit,  for  the 
prophet  whom  he  had  brought 
back. 

24  x\nd  when  he  was  gone,  a 
''lion  met  him  by  the  way,  and 
slew  him:  and  'his  carcase  was 
cast  in  the  way,  and  the  ass 
stood  by  it,  the  lion  also  stood  by 
the  carcase. 

25  And,  behold,  men  passed  by, 
and  saw  the  carcase  cast  in  the 
way,  and  the  *lion  standing  by 
the  carcase:  and  they  came  and 
told  it  in  the  city  where  the  old 
prophet  dwelt. 

26  11  And  when  the  prophet 
that  l)rought  him  back  from  the 
way  heard  ihcreof,  he  said,  It  is 
the  man  of  God,  who  was  ''di.s- 
ol)edient  unto  the  *word  of  the 
Lord:  therefore  the  Lord  "hath 
deHvered  him  unto  the  ''lion, 
which  hatii  torn  liim,  and  slain 
him,  '"according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  which  he  spake  unto 
him. 

27  And  he  spake  to  his  sons, 
saying,  Saddle  me  the  "ass.  And 
they  saddled  him,. 

28  And  he  went  and  found  his 
carcase  cast  in  the  way,  and  the 
"ass  and  the  *lion  standing  by 


the  carcase :  the  lion  had  not  eat- 
en the  carcase,  nor  torn  the  ass. 

29  ^And  the  prophet  took  up 
the  carcase  of  the  man  of  God, 
and  laid  it  upon  the  "ass,  and 
brought  it  back:  and  'the  old 
prophet  came  to  the  city,  to 
mourn  and  to  bury  him. 

30  And  he  "laid  his  carcase  in 
his  own  grave;  and  they  ''mourn- 
ed over  him,  sat/ing,  Alas,  my 
brother  I 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  he 
had  buried  him,  that  he  spake  to 
his  sons,  saying,  When  I  am 
dead,  then  ''bury  me  in  the  sep- 
ulchre wherein  the  man  of  God 
is  buried;  lay  my  bones  beside 
his  bones : 

32  For  the  saying  which  he 
cried  by  the  word  of  the  Lord 
against  the  *altar  in  'Beth'-el, 
and  against  all  the  ^'houses  of 
the  'high  places  which  arc  in  the 
cities  of  '"Sa-ma'ri-a,  shall  surely 
come  to  pass. 

33  t  After  this  thing  ''"Jer- 
o-bo'am  returned  not  from  his 
evil  way,  but  made  again  ^of 
the  lowest  of  the  people  ^priests 
of  the  'high  places:  whosoever 
would,  he  consecrated  him,  ^and 
he  became  one  of  the  priests  of 
the  high  places. 

34  And  this  thing  became  *sin 
unto  the  house  of  "^Jer-o-bo'am, 
even  to  ""cut  if  off,  and  to  destroy 
if  from  off  the  face  of  the  earth.

behold,  there  is  "A-hi'jah  the 
prophet,  which  told  me  that  / 
should  be  king  over  this  '^people. 

3  And  take  with  thee  ten 
^•''loaves,  and  cracknels,  and  a 
cruse  of  ''honey,  and  go  to  him: 
he  shall  tell  thee  what  shall  be- 
come of  the  child. 

4  And  Jer-o-b5'am's  wife  did 
so,  and  arose,  and  went  to  "Shl'- 
loh,  and  came  to  the  house  of 
'^A-hi'jah.  But  A-hl'jah  could 
'^not  see ;  for  his  eyes  were  set  by 
reason  of  his  age. 

5  ^  And  the  Lord  ^-^said  unto 
''A-hT'jah,  Behold,  the  wife  of 
*Jer-o-b6'am  cometh  to  ask  a 
thing  of  thee  for  her  son;  for  he 
is  sick :  thus  and  thus  shalt  thou 
say  unto  her:  for  it  shall  be, 
when  she  cometh  in,  that  she 
shall  ^'feign  herself  to  be  another 
woina^i. 

6  And  it  was  so,  when  A-hi'jah 
heard  the  sound  of  her  feet,  as 
she  came  in  at  the  door,  that  he 
said.  Come  in,  thou  wife  of  Jer- 
o-bo'am;  why  ^feignest  thou  thy- 
self to  be  another  ?  for  I  ain  sent 
to  thee  with  heavy  tidings. 

7  Go,  tell  *Jer-o-bo'am,  Thus 
'saith  the  Lord  God  of  Ig'- 
ra-el.  Forasmuch  as  'I  exalted 
thee  from  among  the  people, 
and  '"made  thee  prince  over  my 
people  Ls'ra-el, 

8  And  'rent  the  kingdom  away 
from  the  house  of  Da'vid,  and 
gave  it  thee:  and  yet  thou  hast 
not  been  as  my  servant  Da'vid, 
who  "kept  my  commandments, 
and  who  followed  me  with  all 
his  heart,  to  do  that  only  which 
was  right  in  mine  eyes ; 

9  But  hast  done  evil  above  all 
that  were  before  thee:  for  thou 
hast  gone  and  "made  thee  other 


gods,  and  molten  images,  to  pro- 
voke me  to  ^anger,  and  hast  cast 
me  behind  thy  back: 

10  Therefore,  behold,  I  will 
bring  ^evil  upon  the  house  of 

Jer-o-b5'am,  and  will  cut  off 
from  Jer-o-bo'am  4iim  that 
pisseth  against  the  wall,  and  him 
that  is  shut  up  and  left  in  I§'- 
ra-el,  and  will  take  away  the 
remnant  of  the  house  of  Jer-o- 
bo'am,  as  a  man  taketh  away 
dung,  till  it  be  all  gone. 

11  *Him  that  dieth  of  *  Jer-o- 
bo'am  in  the  city  shall  the  dogs 
eat;  and  him  that  dieth  in  the 
field  shall  the  fowls  of  the  air 
eat :  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

12  Arise  thou  therefore,  get 
thee  to  thine  own  house:  and 
when  thy  feet  enter  into  the  city, 
the  child  shall  die. 

13  And  all  Is'ra-el  shall  ''mourn 
for  him,  and  bury  him:  for  *he 
only  of  Jer-o-bo'am  shall  come 
to  the  'grave,  because  in  him 
there  is  found  some  good  thingr 
toward  the  Lord  God  of  Ls'ra-el 
in  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am. 

14  Moreover  the  Lord  shall 
raise  him  up  a  king  over  ''Ls'- 
ra-el,  who  shall  cut  of?  the  house 
of  *  Jer-o-bo'am  that  day:  but 
what  ?  even  now. 

15  For  the  Lord  shall  smite 
"Ls'ra-el,  as  a  "reed  is  shaken  in 
the  water,  and  he  shall  root  up 
Ls'ra-el  out  of  this  good  land, 
which  he  gave  to  their  fathers, 
and  shall  scatter  them  beyond 
the  ^river,  because  they  have 
made  their  ^•"'groves,  provoking 
the  Lord  to  ^anger. 

16  And  he  shall  give  ^Ls'ra-el 
up  because  of  the  sins  of  *•  ^Jer- 
o-bo'am,  who  did  sin,  and  who 
made  ls'ra-el  to  sin.

arose,  and  departed,  and  came 
to  ^Tir'zah :  and  when  she  came 
to  the  threshold  of  the  door,  the 
child  died; 

18  And  they  buried  him;  and 
all  Is'ra-el  ''mourned  for  him,  ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  'spake  by  the  hand  of 
his  servant  A-hi'jah  the  prophet. 

19  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
*Jer-o-bo'am,  how  he  warred, 
and  how  he  reigned,  behold,  they 
are  written  in  the  ^book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  I,s'ra-el. 

20  And  the  days  which  *Jer- 
o-bo'am  reigned  were  two  and 
twenty  years:  and  he  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  "Na'dab  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

21  Tf  And  ''Re-ho-bo'am  the  son 
of  '^Sol'o-mon  reigned  in  '^Ju'- 
dah.  Re-ho-bo'am  loas  forty  and 
one  years  old  when  he  began  lo 
reign,  and  he  reigned  seventeen 
years  in  *Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  city 
which  the  Lord  did  choose  out 
of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  to  put 
his  name  there.  And  his  moth- 
er's name  was  ^Na'a-mah  an 
Am'mon-It-ess. 

22  And  '^Ju'dah  did  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  they  pro- 
voked him  to  "jealousy  with 
their  '^sins  which  they  had  com- 
mitted, above  all  that  their 
fathers  had  done. 

23  For  they  also  built  them 
*high  places,  and  ^images,  and 
^groves,  on  every  high  hill,  and 
under  every  green  tree. 

24  And  there  were  also  'sodom- 
ites in  the  land :  and  they  did  ac- 
cording to  all  the  ^abominations  of 
the  nations  which  the  Lord  cast 
out  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-cl. 


25  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fifth  year  of  king  ''Re-ho-bd'am, 
that  'Shi'shak  king  of  '"E'gypt 
came  up  against  * Je-rii'sa-lem : 

26  And  he  took  away  the  treas- 
ures of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
and  the  treasures  of  the  king's 
house;  he  even  took  away  all :  and 
he  took  away  all  the  ^shields  of 
gold  which ''Sol'o-mon  had  made. 

27  And  king  "Re-ho-bo'am 
made  in  their  stead  brasen 
■'■shields,  and  committed  them 
unto  the  hands  of  the  chief  of  the 
guard,  which  "kept  the  door  of 
the  king's  house. 

28  And  it  was  so,  when  the  Idng 
went  into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
that  the  guard  bare  them,  and 
brought  them  back  into  the 
guard  chamber. 

29  t  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
*Re-ho-bo'am,  and  all  that  he

2  Three  years  reigned  he  in 
'^Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his  moth- 
er'? name  was  ''INIa'a-ehah,  the 
daughter  of  A-bish'a-lom. 

3  And  ^he  walked  in  all  the  sins 
of  his  father,  which  he  had  done 
before  him:  and  his  heart  was 
not  perfect  with  the  Lord  his 
God,  as  the  heart  of  Da'vid  his 
father. 

4  Nevertheless  for  ^Da'vid's 
^sake  did  the  Lord  his  God  give 
him  a  lamp  in  '^Je-ru'sa-lem,  to 
set  up  his  son  after  him,  and  to 
establish  Je-ru'sa-lem : 

5  Because  ^Da'^^d  ''did  that 
which  ^vas  right  in  the  eyes  of  the 
I^ORD,  and  turned  not  aside 
from  any  thing  that  he  com- 
manded him  all  the  days  of  his 
life,  save  only  in  the  matter  of 
'U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tlte. 

6  And  there  was  ^war  between 
'^Rc-ho-bo'am  and  "Jer-o-bo'am 
all  the  days  of  his  life. 

7  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
A-bl'jam,  and  all  that  he  did, 

are  they  not  written  in  the  ^book 
of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
"Ju'dah?  And  there  was  ^war 
between  A-bi'jam  and  °Jer-o- 
bo'am. 

8  And  *A-bl'jam  '"slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  they  "buried  him  in 
the  '"city  of  Da'vid :  and  ^A'sa  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

9  ^  And  in  the  twentieth  year  of 
"Jer-o-bo'am  king  of  Ls'ra-el 
reigned  ^A'sa  over  *Ju'dah. 

10  And  forty  and  one  years 
reigned  he  in  '^  Je-rii's?i-lem.  And 
his  mother's  name  was  '^Ma'a- 
chah,  the  daughter  of  A-blsh'a- 
lom. 


11  And  ^'"A'sa  did  that  which 
was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  as  did  Da'vid  his  father. 

12  And  he  ''took  away  the 
^•'^•^sodomites  out  of  the  land, 
and  removed  all  the  ■'^idols  that 
his  fathers  had  made. 

13  And  also  '^jSIa'a-chah  his 
mother,  even  her  he  removed 
from  being  queen,  because  she 
had  made  an  4dol  in  a  'grove; 
and^A'su  ^destroyed  her  idol, 
and  burnt  it  by  the  "brook 
''Kid'ron. 

14  But  the  "'high  places  were 
not  removed:  nevertheless  ^A'- 
su's  heart  was  -^perfect  with  the 
Lord  all  his  days. 

15  And  he  ^brought  in  the 
things  which  his  father  had  ded- 
icated, and  the  things  which 
himself  had  dedicated,  into  the 
^house  of  the  Lord,  "silver,  and 
''gold,  and  vessels. 

16  ^  And  there  was  war  be- 
tween ^A'sa  and  "Ba'a-shii  king 
of  '^Ls'ra-el  all  their  days. 

17  <\nd  "Ba'a-sh:l  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el  went  up  against  *Ju'dah, 
and  built  'Ra'mah,  that  he 
might  not  suffer  any  to  go  out 
or  come  in  to  A'sa  king  of  Ju'- 
dah. 

18  Then  U'sa  took  all  the  '^sil- 
ver  and  the  ''gold  that  were  left  in 
the  treasures  of  the  ^house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the 
king's  ''house,  and  delivered 
them  into  the  hand  of  his  serv- 
ants :  and  king  A'sa  sent  them  to 
'Ben-ha'dad,  the  son  of  Tab'ri- 
mon,  the  son  of  He'zi-on,  king  of 
'Syr'i-a,  that  dwelt  at  ''^Da-mas'-

19  There  is  a  '  "'league  between 
me  and  thee,  and  between  my 
father  and  thy  father;  behold,  I 
"have  sent  unto  thee  a  present  of 
silver  and  gold;  come  and  break 
thy  ^'"'league  with  "Ba'a-sha 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  he  may  de- 
part from  me. 

20  So  'Ben-ha'dad  hearkened 
unto  king  ^A'sa,  and  sent  the 
"captains  of  the  ''hosts  which  he 
had  against  the  cities  of  Ls'ra-el, 
and  smote  'I'jon,  and  ''Dan,  and 
*x\'bel-beth-ma'a-chah,  and  all 
'(^in'ne-roth,  with  all  the  land  of 
"Xaph'ta-li. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"Ba'a-sha  heard  thereof,  that  he 
left  off  building  of  ''Ra'mah,  and 
dwelt  in  '^'Tir'zah. 

22  Then  king  ^A'sa  made  a 
^proclamation  throughout  all 
*Ju'dah;  none  ^vas  exempted: 
and  they  took  away  the  stones  of 
'Ra'mah,  and  the  timber  there- 
of, wherewith  "Ba'a-sha  had 
builded;  and  king  A'sa  built 
with  them  '^Ge'ba  of  ^Ben'ja- 
min,  and  ^Miz'pah. 

23  The  rest  of  all  the  acts  of 
^A'sa,  and  all  his  might,  and  all 
that  he  did,  and  the  cities  which 
lie  built,  are  they  not  written 
in  the  ^book  of  the  chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  * JuMah  ?  Nev- 
ertheless in  the  time  of  his 
*old  age  he  was  diseased  in  his 
feet. 

24  And  ^A'sa  '^slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  was  buried 
with  his  fathers  in  the  city 
of  Da'vid  his  father:  and  '^Jc- 
hosh'a-phat  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

25  T[  And  ^NaMab  the  son  of 
Mer-o-bf/am  began  to  reign 
over  "Ls'ra-el  in  the  second 
yeai  of  ^A'sa  king  of  "Ju'dah, 
and  reigned  over  Ls'ra-el  two 
vears. 


26  And  ''he  did  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  and  Svalked  ^in  the 
way  of  his  ^father,  and  in  his  sin 
wherewith  ^he  hnadc  Is'ra-el  to 
sin. 

27  H  And  ^-'"Ba'a-sha  the  son 
of  "A-hl'jali,  of  the  house  of 
"Is'sa-char,  ^conspired  against 
him;  and  Ba'a-sha  smote  him 
at  ■''Gib'bc-thon,  which  belonged 
to  the  '4*lu-lis'tines;  for  ^Na'- 
dab  and  all  Is'ra-el  laid  '"siege 
to  Gib'be-thon, 

28  Even  in  the  third  year  of 
^A'sa  king  of  "Ju'dah  did  "Ba'- 
a-sha ''''slay  him,  and  "reigned 
in  his  stead. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  reigned,  that  he  smote  all  the 
house  of  'Jer-o-bo'am;  he  left 
not  to  Jer-o-bo'am  any  that 
breathed,  until  he  had  destroyed 
him,  according  unto  the  "saying 
of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake 
by  his  servant  "'A-hi'jah  the 
Shi'lo-nite: 

30  Because  of  the  sins  of  ''Jer- 
o-bo'am  whicli  he  sinned,  and 
which  -^he  'made  'Ls'ra-e!  sin,  by 
his  provocation  wherewith  he 
provoked  the  Lord  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el to  %nger. 

31  ^  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Na'dab,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  ^book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
°  Is'ra-el? 

32  And  there  was  *war  between 
^A'sJl  and  "Ba'a-sha  king  of  Ls'- 
ra-el all  their  days. 

33  ^1  In  the  third  year  of  ^A'sa 
kins  of  'Ju'dah  began  "Ba'a- 
sha  the  son  of  A-hl'jah  to  reign 
over  all  "Ls'ra-el  in  '^Tli^zah, 
twenty  and  four  years. 

34  And  "he  did  evil  in  the  sight

CHAPTER  16 

Jehu's  prophecy  against  Daaslm.  6  Elah 
succeeds  him.  8  Zimri,  conspiring 
against  Elah,  succeeds  him;  11  and  exe- 
cutes Jehu's  propliecy.  15  Omri  is  made 
king.  18  Zimri  destroys  himself.  21 
The  kingdom  being  divided,  Omri  pre- 
vails against  Tibni;  23  and  builds  Sa- 
maria. 25  His  wicked  reign.  27  Ahab 
succeeds  him.  29  Ahab's  ivicked  reign. 
34  The  rebuilding  of  Jericho. 

THEN  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  '^Je'hti  the  son 
of  *Ha-na'nI  against  '^Ba'a-sha, 
saying, 

2  Forasmuch  as  '^I  '^exalted 
''thee  out  of  the  dust,  and  made 
thee  prince  over  my  people  Ls'- 
ra-el;  and  ^'thou  hast  walked  in 
the  way  of  ''Jer-o-bo'ani,  and 
hast  'made  my  people  Is'ra-el  to 
sin,  to  provoke  me  to  anger  with 
their  sins; 

3  Behold,  I  ^vill  take  away  the 
posterity  of  '^Ba'a-sha,  and  the 
posterity  of  his  house;  and  will 
make  thy  house  like  the  house  of 
''Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat. 

4  Him  that  dieth  of  "^Ba'a-sha 
in  the  city  'shall  the  dogs  eat: 
and  him  that  dieth  of  his  in  the 
fields  shall  the  fowls  of  the  air 
eat. 

5  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
'^Ba'a-sha,  and  what  he  did,  and 
his  might,  arc  they  not  written  in 
the  ^'book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  ^Is'ra-el  ? 

6  So  '^Ba'a-sha  '"slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  "buried  in  "Tir'- 
zah:  and  E'lah  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

7  And  also  by  the  hand  of  the 
prophet  "Je'hu  the  son  of  *Ha- 
na'ni  Pcamethe  wordof  theLoRD 
against  ''Ba'a-sha,  and  against 
his  house,  even  for  all  the  evil 
that  he  did  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  "in  provoking  him  to 


anger  with  the  work  of  his 
hands,  in  being  like  the  house  of 
''Jer-o-bo'am;  and  because  he 
''killed  him. 

8  Tf  In  the  twenty  and  sixth 
year  of  *x\'sa  king  of  '  Ju'dah  be- 
gan E'lah  the  son  of  ^Ba'a-sha  to 
reign  over  Ls'ra-el  in  "Tlr'zah, 
two  years. 

9  And  his  "'"servant  "'Zim'ri, 
captain  of  half  his  chariots, 
*■  ■''conspired  against  him,  as  he 
was  in  "Tir'zah,  drinking  him- 
self ^'^drunk  in  the  house  of 
Ar'za  steward  of  his  house  in 
Tir'zah. 

10  And  "^Zirn'rl  went  in  and 
smote  him,  and  ^■'^killed  liim, 
in  the  twenty  and  seventh  year 
of  '^A'sa  king  of  ^Ju'dah,  and 
'reigned  in  his  stead. 

11^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"he  began  to  reign,  as  soon  as  he 
sat  on  his  throne,  ihat  he  '^slew 
all  the  house  of  ^Ba'a-shci:  he 
left  him  not  ^one  that  pisseth 
against  a  wall,  neither  of  his 
kinsfolks,  nor  of  his  friends. 

12  Thus  did  "Zim'rl  destroy  all 
the  ''house  of  Ba'a-sha,  accord- 
ing to  the  Hvord  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  spake  against  Ba'a-sha 
by  Je'hu  the  prophet, 

13  For  all  the  sins  of  Ba'a-sha, 
and  the  sins  of  E'lah  his  son, 
by  which  they  sinned,  and  by 
which  they  ^-^made  Is'ra-el  to 
sin,  'in  provoking  the  Lord  God 
of  Ls'ra-el  to  anger  "v\ith  their 
vanities. 

14  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
pyiah,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  '"book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
'Ts'ra-el  ?

11:14. 


15  Tl  In  the  twenty  and  seventh 
year  of  ''A'sa  king  of  ''Ju'dah  did 
"Zim'rl  reign  seven  days  in  "Tir'- 
zah.  And  the  people  were  en- 
camped against  ^(Tib'be-thon, 
which  belonged  to  the  *Plii-lis'- 
tines. 

16  And  the  people  that  were  en- 
camped heard  say,  "Zim'ri  hath 

conspired,  and  hath  also  slain 
the  king:  wherefore  all  Is'ra-el 
made  ^Om'rl,  the  ''•^captain  of 
the  host,  king  over  Is'ra-el  that 
day  in  the  camp. 

17  And  ^Om'rl  went  up  from 
^Gib'be-thon,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  and  they  'besieged 
"Tir'zah. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"Zim'ri  saw  that  the  city  was 
taken,  that  he  went  into  the 
"palace  of  the  king's  house,  and 
burnt  the  king's  house  over  him 
with  fire,  and  -^died, 

19  For  his  sins  which  *'he  sinned 
in  doing  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  in  walking  in  the  way  of 
"'Jer-o-bd'am,  and  in  his  sin 
which  he  did,  to  '■  ^'make  Is'ra-el 
to  sin, 

20  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Zim'rT,  and  his  -^treason  that  he 
wrought,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  '"book  of  the  chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  "Is'ra-el  ? 

21  ^  Then  were  the  people  of 
"Is'ra-el  divided  into  two  parts: 
half  of  the  people  followed  Tib'- 
nl  the  son  of  Gi'nath,  to  make 
him  king;  and  half  followed 
^Oni'rl. 


22  But  the  people  that  followed 
^Om'rl  prevailetl  against  the 
people  that  followed  Tib'nl  the 
son  of  Gi'nath:  so  Til)'nl  died, 
and  Om'ri  reigned. 

23  ^  In  the  thirty  and  first  year 
of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah  bewail 
'Om'ri  to  reign  over  "Is'ra-el, 
twelve  years:  six  years  reigned 
he  in  '''i^r'zah. 

24  And  he  bought  the  hill  "Sa- 
ma'ri-ti  of  She'mer  for  two  ^tal- 
ents of  ^silver,  and  built  on  the 
hill,  and  called  the  name  of 
the  city  which  he  built,  after  the 
name  of  She'mer,  owner  of  the 
hill,  Sa-ma'ri-ii. 

25  T[  But  ^Om'ri  "wrought  evil 
in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and  did 
worse  than  all  that  weiv  before 
him. 

26  For  he  walked  in  all  the  way 
of  ''Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'- 
bat,  and  in  his  sin  wherewith  he 
'^■'^made  Is'ra-el  to  sin,  to  pro- 
voke the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el 
to  anger  with  their  vanities. 

27  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
^Om'rl  which  he  did,  and  his 
might  that  he  shewed,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  '^book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  ^Is'- 
ra-el ? 

28  So  ^Om'ri  ^slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  ''buried  in 
"Sit-ma'ri-a :  and  ^A'hab  his  son 
reigned  in  his  .stead. 

29  t  And  in  the  thirty  and 
eighth  year  of  'A'sa  king  of

a  vessel,  that  I  may  drink. 

11  And  as  she  was  going  to 
fetch  it,  he  called  to  her,  and 
said,  Bring  me,  I  pray  thee,  a 
morsel  of  "bread  in  thine

12  And  she  said.  As  the  Lord 
thy  God  liveth,  I  have  not  a

a  ^'barrel,  and  a  little  "'oil  in  a

ing two  sticks,  that  I  may  go  in 
and  dress  it  for  me  and  my  son, 
that  we  may  eat  it,  and  die.

said:  but  make  me  thereof  a  lit- 
tle cake  first,  and  bring  it  unto 
me,  and  after  make  for  thee  and 
for  thy  son.

shall  the  cruse  of  "'oil  fail,  until 
the  day  that  the  Lord  sendeth

2  And  °£l-h'jah  went  to  shew 
himself  unto  ''A'hab.  And  there 
was  a  sore  '^famine  in  ''Sa-ma'ri-a. 

3  And  "A'hab  called  O-ba- 
di'ah,  w^hich  was  the  governor 
of  his  house.  (Now  O-ba-dl'ah 
''feared  the  Lord  greatly: 

4  For  it  was  so,  w^ien  ''•^Jez'e- 
bel  ''•Vut  off  the  prophets  of  the 
Lord,  that  0-ba-di'ah  'took  an 
hundred  prophets,  and  *''hid 
them  by  fifty  in  a  "'cave,  and  fed 
them  with  bread  and  water.) 

5  And  *A'hjib  said  unto  0-ba- 
di'ah,  Go  into  the  land,  unto  all 
fountains  of  water,  and  unto  all 
brooks:  peradventure  we  may 
find  grass  to  save  the  horses  and 
mules  alive,  that  we  lose  not  all 
the  beasts. 

6  So  they  divided  the  land  be- 
tween them  to  pass  throughout 
it:  ''A'hab  went  one  way  l)y  him- 
self, and  0-ba-dl'ah  went  an- 
other way  by  himself. 

7  T[  And  as  O-ba-dl'ah  was  in 
the  way,  behold,  "E-li'jah  met 
him:  and  he  knew  him,  and  fell 
on  his  face,  and  said,  Art  thou 
that  my  lord  fi-ll'jah  ? 

8  And  he  answered  him,  I  avi: 
go,  tell  thy  lord.  Behold,  ''^-W- 
jah  is  here. 

9  And  he  said.  What  have  I 
sinned,  that  thou  W'ouldest  de- 
liver thy  servant  into  the  hand  of 
A'hab,  to  slay  me  ? 

10  As  the  IvORD  thy  God  liveth, 
there  is  no  nation  or  kingdom, 

whither  my  lord  hath  not  sent  to 
seek  thee:  and  when  they  said, 
He  is  not  there;  he  took  an  oath 
of  the  kingdom  and  nation,  that 
they  found  thee  not. 

11  And  now  thou  sayest,  Go,tell 
thy  lord,  Behold,"  E-ll'jah  is  here. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  as 


soon  as  I  am  gone  from  "thee, 
that  the  'Spirit  of  the  Lord 
shall  carry  thee  whither  I  know 
not;  and  so  when  I  come  and 
tell  "A'hab,  and  he  cannot  find 
thee,  he  shall  slay  me:  but  I  thy 
servant  fear  the  Lord  from  my 
"^youth. 

13  Was  it  not  told  my  lord  what 
I  'did  when  ^' " Jez'e-bel  ''•'slew 
the  prophets  of  the  Lord,  how  I 
^•'hid  an  hundred  men  of  the 
Lord's  prophets  by  fifty  in  a 
'"cave,  and  fed  them  with  bread 
and  water  ? 

14  And  now  thou  sayest,  Go, 
tell  thy  lord.  Behold,  "fi-h'jah  is 
here:  and  he  shall  slay  me. 

15  And  '^E-h'jah  said.  As  the 
Lord  of  hosts  liveth,  before 
whom  I  stand,  I  w'ill  surely  shew 
myself  unto  him  to  day. 

16  So  O-ba-dl'ah  Avent  to  meet 
"A'hab,  and  told  him :  and  A'hab 
went  to  meet  £-li'jah. 

17  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
''A'hab  saw  E-h'jah,  that  A'hab 
"said  unto  him.  Art  thou  he  that 
troubleth  Is'ra-el  ? 

18  And  he  ^answered,  I  have 
not  troubled  Is'ra-el;  *but  ''thou, 
and  thy  father's  house,  in  that  ye 
have  forsaken  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord,  and  thou 
hast  followed  ''Ba'al-im. 

19  Now  therefore  send,  and 
gather  to  me  all  Is'ra-el  unto 
mount  *Car'mel,  and  the  'proph- 
ets of  ''Ba'al  four  hundred  and 
fifty,  and  the  prophets  of  the 
2.  "groves  four  hundred,  which 
eat  at  Jez'e-bSl's  table. 

20  So  "A'hab  sent  unto  all  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  gath- 
ered the  prophets  together  unto 
mount  ^Car'mel.

ions  ?  if  the  Lord  he  God,  ''•"'fol- 
low him:  but  if  Ba'al,  ihen  follow 
him.  And  the  people  answered 
him  not  a  word. 

22  Then  said  "£:-ll'jah  unto  the 
people,  I,  even  1  only,  remain  a 
prophet  of  the  Lord;  but  Ba'- 
al's  prophets  are  four  hundred 
and  fifty  men. 

23  Let  them  therefore  give  us 
two  bullocks;  and  let  them 
choose  one  bullock  for  them- 
selves, and  cut  it  in  pieces,  and 
lay  it  on  wood,  and  put  no  fire 
under:  aiul  I  will  tlress  the  other 
bullock,  antl  lay  it  on  wood,  and 
put  no  fire  under: 

24  And  ^call  ye  on  the  name  of 
your  gods,  and  "I  will  call  on  the 
name  of  the  Lord:  and  the  God 
that  ^answereth  by  fire,  let  him 
be  God.  And  all  the  people 
answered  and  said.  It  is  well 
spoken. 

25  And  ]^-li'jah  said  unto  the 
prophets  of  ''Ba'al,  Choose  you 
one  bullock  for  yourselves,  and 
dress  it  first;  for  ye  are  many; 
and  call  on  the  name  of  your 
gods,  but  put  no  fire  under. 

26  And  they  took  the  bullock 
which  was  given  them,  and  they 
dressed  it,  and  ^called  on  the 
name  of  "Ba'al  from  morning 
even  until  noon,  saying,  O  Ba'al, 
hear  us.  But  there  was  no  voice, 
nor  any  that  answered.  And 
they  leaped  ^upon  the  ''altar 
which  was  made. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  noon, 
that  ''P^-h'jah  ^mocked  them, 
and  said,  ''Cry  aloud:  for  he  is  a 
god;  either  he  is  talking,  or  he  is 
pursuing,  or  he  is  in  a  journey, 
or  peradventure  he  sleepeth,  and 
must  be  awaked. 

28  And  they  cried  aloud,  and 
^cut  themselves  after  their  man- 


ner with  knives  aiul  lancets,  till 
the  blood  gushed  out  upon  them. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
midday  was  past,  and  they 
prophesied  until  the  time  of  the 
offering  of  the  evening  ''sacrifice, 
that  tJiere  was  neither  voice,  nor 
any  to  answer,  nor  any  that  re- 
garded. 

30  ''And  ^f:-h'jah  said  unto  all 
the  people,  Come  near  unto  me. 
And  all  the  people  came  near 
unto  him.  And  he  repaired  the 
''altar  of  the  Lord  that  was 
broken  dcjwn. 

31  And  'fi-h'jah  took  twelve 
stones,  according  to  the  number 
of  the  bribes  of  the  sons  of  ^  Ja'- 
cob,  unto  whom  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came,  saying,  Is'ra-el 
shall  be  thy  name : 

32  And  with  the  stones  he  built 
an  ''altar  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord:  and  he  jnade  a  trench 
about  the  altar,  as  great  as  would 
contain  two  ^measures  of  seed. 

33  And  he  put  the  wood  in 
order,  and  cut  the  bullock  in 
pieces,  and  laid  Jam  on  the 
wood,  and  said,  Fill  four  'bar- 
rels with  water,  and  pour  it  on 
the  '"burnt  ^sacrifice,  and  on  the 
wood. 

34  And  he  said,  Do  it  the  sec- 
ond time.  And  they  did  it  the 
second  time.  And  he  said.  Do  it 
the  third  time.  And  they  did  it 
the  thiril  time. 

35  And  the  water  ran  round 
about  the  ''altar;  and  he  filled 
the  trench  also  with  water. 

36  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  of  the  offering  of  the  even- 
ing sacrifice,  that  ^E-lI'jah  the 
prophet  came  near,  and  ''said. 
Lord  God  of  A'bril-hilm,  I'saac 
and  of  Is'ra-el,  let  it  be  known 
this  day  that  thou  art  God  in

Is'ra-el,  and  tJmt  I  am  thy  serv- 
ant, and  ^/lai  I  have  done  all 
these  things  at  thy  word. 

37  "Hear  me,  O  Lord,  hear 
me,  that  this  people  may  know 
that  thou  art  the  Lord  God,  and 
tJiat  thou  hast  turned  their  heart 
back  again. 

38  "Then  nhe  *fire  of  the 
Lord  fell,  and  consumed  the 
'"burnt  ^sacrifice,  and  the  wood, 
and  the  stones,  and  the  dust,  and 
licked  up  the  water  that  ivas  in 
the  trench. 

39  And  when  all  the  people  saw 
it,  ''they  fell  on  their  faces:  and 
they  said,  The  Lord,  he  is  the 
God;  the  Lord,  he  is  the  God. 

40  And  '"E-lI'jah  said  unto 
them,  ^Take  the  prophets  of 
'Ba'al;  let  not  one  of  them  es- 
cape. And  they  took  them :  and 
E-li'jah  brought  them  down  to 
the  brook  ^'Ki'shon,  and  *'slew 
them  there. 

41  T[  And  '^fi-li'jah  said  unto 
'"A'hab,  Get  thee  up,  eat  and 
drink;  for  there  is  a  sound  of 
abundance  of  ^rain. 

42  So  "A'hab  went  up  to  eat 
and  to  drink.  And  E-li'jah  went 
up  to  the  top  of  ^Ciir'mel;  and 
he  ^cast  himself  down  upon  the 
earth,  and  put  his  face  between 
his  knees, 

43  And  said  to  his  servant,  Go 
up  now,  look  toward  the  sea. 
And  he  went  up,  and  looked, 
and  said.  There  is  nothing.  And 
he  said,  Go  again  '^seven  times. 

44  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
"seventh  time,  that  he  said,  Be- 
hold, there  ariseth  a  little  ''cloud 
out  of  the  sea,  like  a  man's  hand. 
And  he  said,  Go  up,  say  unto 
^A'hab,  Prepare  thy  chariot,  and 
get  thee  down,  that  the  ''rain 
stop  thee  not. 

45  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 


meanwhile,  that  the  heaven  was 
black  widi  clouds  and  wind,  and 
there  was  *a  great  rain.  And 
''A 'hab  rode  and  went  to  "Jez'- 
re-el. 
46  And  the  'hand  of  the  Lord 
was  on  ^E-ll'jah;  and  he  girded 
up  his  loins,  and  ran  before 
'"A 'hab  to  the  entrance  of  "Jez'" 
re-el.

unto  him  at  Horeb.  15  He  is  sent  to 
anoint  Hazael,  Jehu,  and  Elisha.  19 
Elisha  follows  Elijah. 

AND  °A'hab  told  *Jez'e-bcl  all 
that  ^E-ii'jah  had  done, 
and  withal  how  he  had  slain 
all  the  prophets  with  the  sword. 

2  Then  ^''^Jez'e-bel  sent  a  mes- 
senger unto  ^E-li'jah,  saying, 
^•'■^So  let  the  gods  do  to  me,  and 
more  also,  if  I  make  not  thy  life 
as  the  life  of  one  of  them  by  to 
morrow  about  this  time. 

3  And  when  he  saw  that,  ''he 
arose,  and  went  for  his  life,  and 
came  to  ^Be'er-she'ba,  which  he- 
longcth  to  Ju'dah,  and  left  his 
servant  there. 

4  T[  But  ''he  himself  went  a 
*day's  journey  into  the  wilder- 
ness, and  came  and  sat  down 
under  a  ^juniper  tree:  and  ''^he 
requested  for  himself  that  he 
might  'die;  and  said,  It  is 
enough;  now,  O  Lord,  take 
away  my  life ;  for  I  am  not  better 
than  my  fathers. 

5  And  as  ''he  lay  and  slept  un- 
der a  'juniper  tree,  behold,  then 
an  "'angel  touched  him,  and  saitl 
unto  him.  Arise  and  eat. 

6  And  '^he  looked,  and,  behold, 
there  was  a  "'"cake  baken  on  the 
coals,  and  a  cruse  of  ^water  at 
his  head.  And  he  did  eat  and

came  again  the  second  time,  and 
touched  him,  and  said,  Arise 
and  eat;  because  the  journey  is 
too  great  for  thee. 
S  And  '^he  arose,  and  did  eat 
and  drink,  and  went  *in  the 
strength  of  that  meat  ''forty  days 
and  forty  nights  unto  ^Ho'reb 
the  mount  of  God. 

9  Tf  And  '"he  came  thither  unto 
a  'cave,  and  lodged  there;  and, 
behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
'^came  to  him,  and  he  said  un- 
to him,  What  docst  thou  here,

10  And  '^he  said,  I  have  been

and  slain  thy  prophets  with  the 
sword;  and  I,  even  I  only,  am 
left;  and  they  seek  my  life,  to 
take  it  away. 

11  And  he  said.  Go  forth,  and 
stand  upon  the  *mount  before 
the  Lord.  And,  behold,  the 
Lord  passed  by,  and  a  great 
and  strong  ^wind  rent  the  moun-

jah  heard  it,  that  he  wrapped  his 
face  in  his  ''mantle,  and  went 
out,  and  stood  in  the  entering  in 


of  the  cave.  And,  behold,  there 
came  a  voice  unto  him,  and  said, 
\Yhat  doest  thou  here,  R-h'jah  ? 

14  And  lie  said,  I  have  been

CHAPTER  20 

Ben-hailait  besieges  Samaria.  1.3  Under 
direction  nf  a  prophet,  the  Syrians  are 
slain.  22  The  next  year  the  Syrians  come 
up  against  .Muib  to  Aphek;  28  but  are 
again  smitten.  .31  The  ,Syrians  hum- 
bling themselves,  Ahab  sends  Ben-hadad 
away  with  a  coverumt.  .3.5  The  projihet 
by  a  parable  denounces  God's  judgment 
against  Ahab. 

AND  *Ben-ha'dad  the  king 
of  "Syr'i-a  gathered  all 
his  host  together:  and  there  were 
thirty  and  two  kings  with  him, 
and  *horses,  and  '^chariots:  and 
he  went  up  and  '^besieged  *Sa- 
ma'ri-a,  and  warred  against  it. 

2  And  *he  sent  ^mcs.sengers  to 
'A'hab  king  of  "I.s'ra-el  into  the 
city,  and  said  unto  him.  Thus 
saith  Ben-ha'dad, 

3  Thy  \silver  and  thy  ^gold  is 
mine;  thy  wives  also  and  thy 
children,  even  the  goodliest,  are 
mine. 

4  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  an- 
swered and  said,  ]My  lord,  O 
king,  according  to  thy  saying,  I 
am  thine,  and  all  that  I  have, 

5  And  the  'messengers  came 
again,  and  said.  Thus  speaketh 
*Bcn-ha'dad,  .saving,  Althoufjh 
I  have  .sent  unto  thee,  saying, 
''•'Thou  shalt  deliver  me  thy 
^silver,  and  thy  'gold,  and  thy 
wives,  and  ihy  children; 

6  ^^et  I  will  send  my  servants 
unto  thee  to  morrow  about  this 
time,  and  they  .shall  .search  thine 


house,  and  the  houses  of  thy 
servants;  and  it  shall  be,  that 
whatsoever  is  pleasant  in  thine 
eyes,  they  shall  put  it  in  their 
hand,  and  take  it  away. 

7  Then  the  king  of  ''I.s'ra-el 
'"called  all  the  "elders  of  the 
land,  and  said,  INIark,  I  pray 
you,  and  see  how  this  man  seek- 
eth  mischief:  for  he  sent  unto 
me  for  my  wives,  and  for  my 
children,  and  for  my  silver,  and 
for  my  gold;  and  I  denied  him 
not. 

8  And  all  the  "elders  and  all  the 
people  .said  unto  him.  Hearken 
not  vnto  him,  nor  consent. 

9  AVherefore  he  said  unto  the 
messengers  of  Ben-ha'dad,  Tell 
my  lord  the  king.  All  that  thou 
didst  send  for  to  thy  servant 
at  the  first  I  will  do:  but  this 
thing  I  may  not  do.  And 
the  ''messengers  departed,  and 
brought  hini  word  again. 

10  And  Ben-ha'dad  sent  unto 
him,  and  "said.  The  gods  do  so 
unto  me,  and  more  also,  if  the 
dust  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  shall  suffice 
for  handfuls  for  all  the  people 
that  follow  me. 

11  And  the  king  of  Ls'ra-el  an- 
swered and  said.  Tell  him, 
^•^'''Let  not  him  that  girdeth  on 
his  ^harness  boast  liimself  as  he 
that  putteth  it  off. 

12  And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  when 
*  Ben-ha'dad  heard  this  mes- 
.sage,  as  he  vxis  drinking,  he  and 
the  kings  in  the  pavilions,  that 
he  said  unto  his  servants.  Set 
yourselves  in  arraij.  And  they 
set  tliemsclves  in  array  against 
the  city. 

13  t  And,  behold,  there  came 
a  ^prophet  unto  ''A'hS.b  king  of 
'Ls'ra-el,  saying,  "Thus  .saith  the 
Lord,  Hast  thou  seen  all  this 
great  multitude  ?  behold,  I  will

Then  he  said,  ^Yho  shall  order      24  And  do  this  thing,  Take  the

Thou. 

15  Then  he  numl)ered  the 
young  men  of  the  ])rinees  of  the 
proxinees,  and  they  were  two 
hundred  and  thirty  two:  and 
after  them  he  numbered  all  the 
'people,  even  all  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el,   hcincj  seven  thousaiul. 

16  And  they  went  out  at  noon. 
But  *Ben-ha'dad  wns  drinking 
himself  "'•■^drunk  in  the  p.ivilions, 
he  and  the  kings,  the  thirty  and 
two  kings  that  helped  him. 

17  And  the  young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  pro\inces  went  out 
first;  and  *Ben-ha'dad  sent  out. 
and  they  told  him,  saving.  There 
are  men  come  out  of  'Sa-ma'ri-a. 

18  And  he  said.  Whether  they 
be  come  out  for  peace,  take  them 
alive;  or  whether  they  be  come 
out  for  ^war,  take  them  aUve. 

19  So  these  young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  pro\'inces  came 
out  of  the  city,  and  the  'army 
which  followed  them. 

20  And  they  slew  every  one 
his  man:  and  the  Syr'i-an.s  fled; 
and  I.:<'ra-el  pursued  them:  and 
*Ben-haMad  the  king  of  "Syr'- 
i-a  escaped  on  an  horse  with  the 
horsemen. 

21  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  went 
out,  and  smote  the  '""horses  and 
'"chariots,  and  slew  the  Syrl-anj 
with  a  great  slaughter. 

22  \  And  the  'prophet  came  to 
the  king  of  Is'ra-el.  and  said  un- 
to him.  Go,  strengthen  thyself, 
and  mark,  and  see  what  thou 
doest:  for  at  the  return  of  the 
year  the  king  of  "Syrt-a  will 
come  up  against  thee. 

23  .Vml  the  servants  of  the  kins; 


\ings  away,  every  man  out  of 
his  place,  and  put  "•''captains  in 
their  rooms: 

25  And  number  thee  an  army, 
like  the  army  that  thou  hast  lost, 
horse  for  horse,  and  chariot  for 
chariot :  and  Ave  will  fight  against 
them  in  the  plain,  and  surely  we 
shall  be  stronger  than  they.  .\nd 
he  hearkened  unto  their  voice, 
and  did  SO. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
return  of  the  year,  that  Ben- 
ha'dad  '"numbered  the  Syr'i-an.j, 
and  went  up  to  A'phek,  to  fight 
against  Is'ra-el. 

27  And  the  children  of  ''Is'ra- 
el  Avere  '"numbered,  and  were 
-all  present,  and  went  against 
them:  and  the  children  of  Ls'- 
ra-el  pitched  before  them  like 
two  little  flocks  of  kids;  but 
the  Syr'i-an§  filled  the  country. 

28  ^  A.nd  there  came  a  man  of 
God,  and  spake  unto  the  '"king  of 
Ls'ra-el,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the 
'Lord,  Because  the  Syrl-ans 
have  -said,  ^The  Lord  w  God  of 
the  hills,  but  he  is  not  God  of  the 
valleys,  therefore  will  ''I  deliver 
all  this  great  multitude  into  thine 
hand,  and  ye  shall  know  that  1 
am  the  Lord. 

29  And  they  pitched  one  over 
against  the  other  'seven  days. 
.Vnd  no  it  was.  that  in  the  seventh 
day  the  battle  was  joined:  and 
the  children  of  ''I.:j'ra-el  slew  of 
the  Syrll-an.s  an  hundred  thou- 
sand footmen  in  one  day. 

30  But  the  rest  fled  to  A'phek, 
into  the  city;  and  there  a  wall  fell

of  the  men  ihai  were  left.  And

31  ^  And  his  servants  said  unto 
him,  Behold  now,  we  have  heard 
that  the  kings  of  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  are  merciful  kings:  ^let 
us,  I  pray  thee,  put  ''^sackcloth 
on  our  loins,  and  'ropes  upon 
our  heads,  and  go  out  to  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el:  peradventure  he  will 
save  thy  life. 

32  So  they  girded  ^'sackcloth  on 
their  loins,  and  }mi  ^ropes  on 
their  heads,  and  came  to  the 
king  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  said.  Thy 
servant  *Ben-ha'dad  saith,  I 
pray  thee,  let  me  live.  And  ^he 
said,  Is  he  yet  alive  ?  he  is  my 
'"brother. 

33  Now  the  men  ^did  diUgently 
observe  whether  any  thing  loould 
come  from  him,  and  did  hastily 
catch  it:  and  they  said,  Thy 
'"brother  *Ben-ha'dad.  Then  he 
said.  Go  ye,  bring  him.  Then 
Ben-ha'dad  came  forth  to  him; 
and  he  caused  him  to  come  up 
into  the  chariot. 

34  And  ^Ben-ha'dad  saitl  unto 
him.  The  cities,  which  my  fa- 
ther took  from  thy  father,  {  will 
restore;  and  thou  shall  make 
streets  for  thee  in  "Da-mas'cus, 
as  my  father  made  in  "Sa-msi'- 
ri-a.  Then  said  ^A'hab,  1  will 
send  thee  away  with  this  -"•  *cove- 
nant.  So  he  made  a  covenant 
with  him,  and  sent  him  away. 

35  ^  And  a  certain  man  of  the 
*■■  *sons  of  the  prophets  said  unto 
his  neighbour  in  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  Smite  me,  I  pray  thee. 
And  the  man  refused  to  smite 
him. 

36  Then  said  he  unto  him.  Be- 
cause thou  'hast  not  obeyed  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  behold,  as 
soon  as  thou  art  departed  fi'om 
me,  a  "lion  shall  slay  thee.  And 
"as  soon  as  he  was  departed  from 


him,  a  lion  found  him,  and  slew 
hian. 

37  Then  he  found  another  man, 
and  said.  Smite  me,  I  pray  thee. 
And  the  man  smote  him,  so  that 
in  smiting  he  wounded  him. 

38  So  the  "'prophet  departed, 
and  waited  for  the  king  by  the 
way,  and  disguised  himself  with 
*•  ^ashes  upon  his  face. 

39  And  as  the  king  passed  by, 
he  cried  unto  the  king:  and  he 
^said.  Thy  servant  went  out  into 
the  midst  of  the  battle;  and,  be- 
hold, a  man  turned  aside,  and 
brought  a  man  unto  me,  and 
said.  Keep  this  man:  if  by  any 
means  he  be  missing,  then  shall 
thy  life  be  for  his  life,  or  else  thou 
shalt  pay  a  talent  of  silver. 

40  And  as  thy  servant  was  busy 
here  and  there,  he  was  gone. 
And  the  king  of  T.s'ra-el  said  un- 
to him,  ^So  shall  thy  judgment 
be;  thyself  hast  decided  it. 

41  And  he  hasted,  and  took  the 
^'  ^ashes  away  from  his  f ac  f . ;  and 
the  king  of  I§'ra-el  discerned 
hiin  that  he  was  of  the  "'proph- 
ets. 

42  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Because  "thou 
''hast  let  go  out  of  thy  hand  a 
man  whom  I  '^appointed  to  utter 
destruction,  therefore  ''thy  life 
shall  go  for  his  life,  and  thy  peo- 
ple for  his  people. 

43  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
went  to  his  house  ''heavy  and 
displeased,  and  came  to  Sa-ma'- 
ri-a.

2  And  ''A'hab  spake  unto  «Na'- 
both,  ^saying,  Give  me  thy 
''vineyard,  that  I  may  have  it  for 
a  garden  of  herbs,  because  it  ift 
near  unto  my  house:  and  I  will 
give  thee  for  it  a  better  vineyard 
than  it;  or,  if  it  seem  good  to

3  And  °Na'b6th  said  to  '^A'hab, 
The  Lord  forbid  it  me,  that  1 
should  give  the  'inheritance  of 
my  fathers  unto  thee. 

4  And  '^A'hab  came  into  his 
house  heavy  and  ^displeased 
because  of  the  word  which 
"Na'both  the  Jez're-el-Ite  had 
spoken  to  him:  for  he  had  said, 
I  will  not  give  thee  the  'inherit- 
ance of  my  fathers.  And  he  laid 
him  down  upon  his  bed,  and 
turned  away  his  face,  and  would 
eat  no  bread. 

5  T[  But  *Jez'e-bel  his  wife 
came  to  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
Why  is  thy  spirit  so  sad,  that 
thou  eatest  no  bread  ? 

6  And  he  said  unto  her,  Be- 
cause I  spake  unto  "Na'both  the 
Jez're-el-Ite,  and  said  unto  him, 
Give  me  thy  ''vineyard  for  ''mon- 
ey; or  else,  if  it  please  thee,  I  will 
give  thee  another  vineyard  for  it: 
and  he  answered,  I  will  not  give 
thee  my  vineyard. 

7  And  *Jez'e-l)el  his  wife  said 
unto  him,  Dost  thou  now  'govern 
the  kingdom  of  l.^'ra-el  ?  arise, 
mid  eat  bread,  and  let  thine

take  possession  of  the  vineyard 
of  Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite, 
which  he  refused  to  give  thee  for 
money:  for  Na'both  is  not  ahve, 
but  dead. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'■A'hab  heard  that  "Na'both  was 
dead,  that  A'hab  rose  up  to  go 
down  to  the  ''vineyard  of  Na'- 
both  the  Jcz're-el-ite,  to  ''"'take 
possession  of  it. 

17  T[And  the  ''word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  '^E-li'jah  the  Tish'bite, 
saying, 

18  Arise,  go  down  to  meet 
"^A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el,  which  is 
in  'Sa-ma'ri-a:  behold,  he  is  in 
the  '^vineyard  of  Na'both,  whith- 
er he  is  gone  down  to  possess  it. 

19  And  ^•''thou  shalt  speak  un- 
to ''him,  saying,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Hast  thou  'killed,  and 
also  ^■''taken  possession  ?  And 
thou  shalt  speak  unto  him,  say- 
ino;,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ''In 
the  place  where  ^dogs  licked  the 
blood  of  "Na'both  shall  dogs 
lick  thy  blood,  even  thine. 

20  And  ^A'hab  said  to  ''E-ll'- 
jah,  Hast  thou  found  me,  O 
mine  enemy  ?  And  he  answered, 
I  have  found  thee:  because  'thou 
hast  '"sold  thyself  to  work  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

21  Behold,  I  will  "bring  ^evil 
upon  "thee,  and  will  take  away 
thy  posterity,  and  will  cut  ott' 
from  A'hab  ^him  that  pisseth 
against  the  wall,  and  him  that  is 
shut  up  and  left  in  Ls'ra-el, 

22  And  will  make  thine  hou.se 
like  the  house  of  ^Jer-o-bo'am 
the  son  of  Ne'bat,  and  like  the 
house  of  'Ba'a-shii  the  son  of 
A-hl'jah,  for  the  provocation 
wherewith  thou  hast  provoked 
me  to  '^anger,  and  *made  Is'ra-el 
to  sin. 

23  And  of  '^  Jez'e-bel  also  'spake 
the  Lord,  saying,  The    *dogs 


shall  eat  Jez'e-bel  by  the  wall  of 
"Jez're-el. 

24  Him  that  dieth  of  ^A'hab  in 
the  city  the  \logs  shall  eat ;  and 
him  that  dieth  in  the  field  shall 
the  fowls  of  the  air  eat. 

25  But  there  was  none  like  unto 
''A'hab,  which  did  sell  himself  to 
work  wickedness  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  whom  ^Jez'e-bel  his 
wife  ""stirred  up. 

26  And  he  did  very  abominably 
in  'following  idols,  according  to 
all  things  as  did  the  ^Am'or-ites, 
whom  the  Lord  cast  out  before 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
A'hab  heard  those  words,  that 
he  ^'"rent  his  clothes,  and  put 
"sackcloth  upon  his  flesh,  and 
fasted,  and  lay  in  sackcloth,  and 
went  softly. 

28  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
"came  to  E-li'jah  the  Tish'blte, 
saying, 

29  Seest  thou  how  A'hab  '^hum- 
bleth  himself  before  me  ?  be- 
cause he  humbleth  himself  be- 
fore me,  ''I  will  not  bring  the  evil 
in  his  days:  but  in  his  ''son's  days 
will  I  bring  the  evil  upon  his 
house. 

CHAPTER  22 

Ahab,  misted  by  false  prophets,  is  slain  at

AND    they    continued    three

2  ''And  it  came  to  pass  in  the

the  'king  of  "Ju'dah  came  down 
to  the  ''king  of  '"Is'ra-el. 

3  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said 
unto  his  servants.  Know  ye  that

4  And  he  said  unto  ''Je-ho.sh'- 
a-phat,  \Yilt  thou  o;o  with  ine 
to  battle  to  'Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  ? 
And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said  to  the 
king  of  I§'ra-el,  'I  a7n  as  thou 
art,  my  ^'people  as  thy  people, 
ni}'  ^lorses  as  thy  horses. 

5  Tf  And  '^Je-hosh'a-phat  said 
unto  the  ''king  of  I.s'ra-el,  '""En- 
quire, I  pray  thee,  at  the  Avord  of 
the  Lord  to  day. 

6  Then  the  king  of  I.s'ra-el 
gathered  the  "prophets  together, 
about  four  hundred  men,  and  said 
unto  them.  Shall  I  go  against 
4{a-moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or 
shall  I  forbear  ?  And  they  said. 
Go  up;  for  the  Lord  shall  de- 
liver it  into  the  hand  of  the  king. 

7  And  *Je-h6sh'a-phat  said,  Is 
there  not  here  a  ^prophet  of  the 
Lord  besides,  that  we  might  en- 
quire of  him  ? 

8  And  the  ''king  of  I.s'ra-el  said 
unto  *  Je-hosh'a-phat,  '^  There  is 
yet  one  man,  Ml-ca'iah  the  son 
of  Im'lah,  by  whom  we  may  en- 
quire of  the  Lord:  but  I  ''hate 
him;  for  he  doth  not  prophesy 
good  concerning  me,  but  evil. 
And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said,  Let 
not  the  king  say  so. 

9  Then  the  *king  of  Is'ra-el 
called  an  officer,  and  said.  Has- 
ten hither  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of 
Im'lah. 

10  And  the  ''king  of  Is'ra-el 
and  *  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of 
'Ju'dah  sat  each  on  his  ^throne, 
having  put  on  their  robes,  in  a 
void  place  in  the  entrance  of  the 
'gate  of  "Sa-rna'ri-;i ;  and  all  the 
"prophets  prophesied  before 
them. 

11  And  *Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of 
"Che-na'a-nah  made  him  '"horns 
of  iron:  and  ho  said,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  With  those  shalt  thou 
push  the  "Syr'i-an.s,  until  thou 
have  consumed  them. 


12  And  all  the  "prophets  proph- 
esied so,  saying.  Go  up  to  'Ra'- 
moth-gil'c-ad,  and  prosper:  for 
the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into  the 
king's  hand. 

13  And  the  messenger  that  was 
gone  to  call  Ml-ca'iah  s})ake 
unto  him,  saying,  Behold  now, 
the  words  of  the  prophets  declare 
good  unto  the  king  with  one 
mouth :  lot  thy  word,  I  pray  thve, 
be  like  the  word  of  one  of  them, 
and  speak  that  which  is  good. 

14  And  ^Ml-ca'iah  said,  ^-^'M  5 
the  Lord  Hveth,  what  the  Lord 
''saith  unto  me,  that  will  I  speak. 

15  So  '^he  came  to  the  king. 
And  the  king  said  unto  him,  Ml- 
ca'iah,  shall  we  go  against  ''Ra'- 
moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or  shall 
we  forbear  ?  And  he  answered 
him.  Go,  and  prosper:  for  the 
Lord  shall  deliver  it  into  the 
hand  of  the  king. 

16  And  the  king  said  unto  him, 
How  inany  times  shall  I  adjure 
thee  that  thou  tell  me  nothing 
but  that  which  is  true  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  ? 

17  And  he  said,  I  ''saw  all  Is'- 
ra-el scattered  upon  the  hills,  as 
sheep  that  have  not  a  'shepherd : 
and  the  Lord  said,  These  have 
no  master:  let  them  return  every 
man  to  his  house  in  peace. 

18  And  the  ''king  of  Is'ra-el 
said  unto  "Je-hosh'a-phat,  Did 
I  not  toll  thee  chat  he  would 
prophesy  no  good  concerning 
me,  but  evil  ? 

19  And  he  said.  Hear  thou 
therefore  the  word  of  the  Lord: 
I  saw  the  'Lord  sitting  on  his 
throne,  and  all  the  host  of  heav- 
en standing  by  him  on  his  right 
hand  and  on  his  left. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  Who 
shall  persuade  "A'hrib,  that  ho 
may  go  up  and  fall  at  "Ra'nioth- 
gil'e-ad  ?    And  one  said  on  this

manner,   and   another  said   on 
that  manner. 

21  And  there  came  forth  a 
^spirit,  and  stood  before  the 
Lord,  and  said,  I  will  persuade 
him. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Wherewith  ?  And  he  said, 
I  will  go  forth,  and  I  will  be  a  ly- 
ing 'spirit  in  the  mouth  of  ail  his 
prophets.  And  he  said.  Thou 
shalt  persviade  him,  and  prevail 
also:  go  forth,  and  do  so. 

23  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  hath  put  a  lying  'spirit  in 
the  mouth  of  all  these  thy  proph- 
ets, and  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
evil  concerning  thee. 

24  T[  But  *Zed-e-kT'ah  the  son 
of  Che-na'a-nah  went  near,  and 
*smote  ^Ml-ca'iah  on  the  cheek, 
and  '"said,  Which  way  went  the 
'Spirit  of  the  Lord  from  me  to 
speak  unto  thee  ? 

25  And  Ml-ca'iah  said,  Be- 
hold, thou  shalt  see  in  that  day, 
when  thou  shalt  go  into  an  "in- 
ner chamber  to  hide  thyself. 

26  And  the  ''king  of  Is'ra-el 
said.  Take  ^Ml-ca'iah,  and  carry 
him  back  unto  "A'mon  the  gov- 
ernor of  the  city,  and  to  ''Jo'ash 
the  king's  son; 

27  And  say.  Thus  saith  the 
king,  ^■'"Put  *this  fellow  in  the 
prison,  and  feed  him  with  'bread 
of  affliction  and  with  "water  of 
affliction,  until  I  come  in  peace. 

28  And  Ml-ca'iah  said.  If 
thou  return  at  all  in  peace,  the 
Lord  hath  not  spoken  by  me. 
And  he  said,  Hearken,  O  peo- 
ple, every  one  of  you. 

29  So  the  ''king  of  Is'ra-el 
and  ''Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king 
of  Ju'dah  went  up  to  '^Ra'- 
moth-gil'-e-ad. 

30  And  the  ''king  of  Is'ra-el 
said  unto  ''Je-hosh'a-phat,  I  will 
disguise  myself,  and  enter  into 
the  battle;  but  put  thou  on  thy 
robes.    And  the  king  of  Ig'ra-el 


disguised  himself,  and  went  into 
the  battle. 

31  But  the  king  of  '^^Syr'i-a 
commanded  his  thirty  and  two 
""captains  that  had  rule  over  his 
^chariots,  saying.  Fight  neither 
with  small  nor  great,  save  only 
with  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  ""captains  of  the  ^chariots 
saw  ''Je-hosh'a-phat,  that  they 
said,  Surely  it  is  the  ''king  of 
Is'ra-el.  And  they  turned  aside 
to  fight  against  him:  and  Je- 
hosh'a-phat  cried  out. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  '^captains  of  the  ^chariots 
perceived  that  it  tvas  not  the 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  turned 
back  from  pursuing  him. 

34  T[  And  a  certain  man  ''drew 
a  bow  at  a  venture,  and  smote 
the  king  of  Is'ra-el  between  the 
joints  of  the  ^harness:  wherefore 
he  said  unto  the  driver  of  his 
chariot,  Turn  thine  hand,  and 
carry  me  out  of  the  host;  for  I 
am  wounded. 

35  And  the  battle  increased 
that  day:  and  the  "^king  was 
stayed  up  in  his  chariot  against 
the  Syr'i-an.s,  and  ''■''died  at 
even:  and  the  blood  ran  out  of 
the  wound  into  the  midst  of  the 
chariot. 

3G  And  there  went  a  proclama- 
tion throughout  the  host  about 
the  going  down  of  the  sun,  say- 
ing. Every  man  to  his  city,  and 
every  man  to  his  own  country. 

37  So  the  "king  died,  and  was 
brought  to  ''Sa-ma'ri-a ;  and  they 
^buried  the  king  in  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

38  And  07ie  washed  the  ^chariot 
in  the  ''pool  of  Sa-ma'ri-a;  and 
''the  Mogs  licked  up  his  blood; 
-and  they  washed  his  armour; 
according  unto  the  '^word  of  the 
Lord  which  he  spake. 

39  Now  the  rest  of  the  ?cts  of 
"A'hab,  and  all  that  he  did,  and

are  they  not  written  in  the^book

40  So  "A'hab  ^slept  with  his  fa- 
thers; and  ^iV-ha-zI^ah  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

41  ^  And  '""Je-hosh'a-phat  the 
son  of  "A'sa  began  to  reign  over 
''Ju'dah  in  the  fourth  year  of 
A'iiab  king  of  Ts'ra-el. 

42  '"Je-hosh'a-phat  vxi.s-  thirty 
and  five  years  old  when  he  be- 
gan to  reign;  and  he  reigned 
twenty  and  five  years  in  *Je-rii'- 
■sa-leni.  And  his  mother's  name 
was  ''A-zu'bah  the  slaughter  of 
■'ShTl'hI. 

43  And  he  walked  'in  all  the 
ways  of  A^sa  his  "father;  he 
turned  not  aside  from  it,  doing 
iJiaf  which  was  right  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Lokd:  nevertheless  the 
''high  places  were  not  taken 
away;  ]or  the  people  offered  and 
burnt  "'incense  yet  in  the  high 
places. 

44  And  '"Je-hosh'a-phat  made 
peace  with  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

45  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
'"Je-hosh'a-phSt,  and  his  might 
that  he  shewed,  and  how  he 
warred,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  'Mn'dah  ? 

46  And  the  remnant  of  the 
•^sodomites,  which  remained  in 


the  days  of  his  father  "A'sa,  he 
took  out  of  the  land. 

47  Tlicrc  was  then  no  kins;  in 
^'E'dom ;  ^a  ^deputy  ivas  king. 

48  "Je-hosh'a-phat  made  ''ships 
of  ^Thilr'shish  to  go  to  '^O'phir 
for  ''gold:  I)ut  they  went  not;  for 
the  ships  were  broken  at  ''K'zi- 
on-ge'bcr. 

49' Then  said  U-ha-zI'ah  the 
son  of  A'hab  unto  "Je-hosh'a- 
phat,  Let  my  servants  go  with 
thy  servants  in  the  ''ships.  But 
Je-hosh'a-phiit  would  not. 

50  %  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  ^slept 
with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried 
with  his  fathers  in  the  "city  of 
Da'vid  his  father:  and  "Je-ho'-

Fire  from  heai^en  consumes  those  sent  to 
apprehend  Elijah.  13  Those  sent  the 
third  time  are  simred:  and  Elijah  returns 
with  them.  17  Jehoram  succeeds  Aha- 
zlah. 

THEN  "IVIo'ab  rebelled  against 
*I.s'ra-el  after  the  death  of 

^A'hab.' 

2  And  '^A-ha-zl'ah  fell  down 
through  a  lattice  in  his  upper 
^chamber  that  was  in  ^Sa-ma'- 
ri-a,  and  was  sick:  and  he  sent 
messengers,  and  said  unto  them, 
Go,  enquire  of  Ba'al-ze'bub  the 
god  of  ''Ek'ron  whether  I  shall 
recover  of  this  disease. 

3  But  the  ''angel  of  the  Lord 
said  to  *E-lr'jah  the  Tish'bite, 
Arise,  go  up  to  meet  the  messen- 
gers of  the  ''king  of  ''Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and  say  unto  them,  Is  it  not  be- 
cause there  is  not  a  God  in  Is'- 
ra-el,  that  ye  go  to  enquire  of 
Ba'al-ze 'bub  the  god  of  Kk'ron  ? 

4  Now  therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Thou  shalt  not  come 
down  from  that  bed  on  which 
thou  art  gone  up,  but  shalt  sure- 
ly die.    And  *E-lT'jah  departed. 

5  ^  And  when  the  messengers 
turned  back  unto  him,  he  said 
unto  them.  Why  are  ye  now 
turned  back  ? 

6  And  they  said  unto  him, 
There  came  a  man  up  to  meet 
us,  and  said  unto  us,  Go,  turn 
again  unto  the  king  that  sent 
you,  and  ^say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  7,9  it  hiot  be- 
cause there  is  not  a  God  in  Ts'- 
ra-el,  that  thou  sendest  to  en- 
quire of  Ba'al-ze'bfib  the  god  of 
"Ek'ron  ?  therefore  thou  shalt 
not  come  down  from  that  bed  on 


which    thou    art   gone    up,    but 
shalt  surely  die. 

7  And  he  said  unto  them.  What 
manner  of  man  was  he  which 
came  up  to  meet  you,  and  told 
you  these  words  ? 

8  And  they  answered  him.  He 
tvas  an  hairy  man,  and  girt  with 
a  '^girdle  of  *leather  about  his 
loins.  And  he  said.  It  is  'L-lI'- 
jah  the  Tish'bite. 

9  Then  the  king  sent  unto  him 
a  ^captain  of  fifty  with  his  fifty. 
And  he  went  up  to  him :  and,  be- 
hold, he  sat  on  the  top  of  an  hill. 
And  he  spake  unto  him.  Thou 
man  of  God,  the  king  hath  said. 
Come  down. 

10  And  '"f^-ll'jah  answered 
and  said  to  the  'captain  of  fifty, 
If  1  be  Si  man  of  God,  then  let 
"fire  come  down  from  heaven, 
and  consume  thee  and  thy  fifty. 
And  "there  came  down  fire  from 
heaven,  and  consumed  him  and 
his  fifty. 

11  Again  also  he  sent  unto  him 
another  'captain  of  fifty  with  his 
fifty.  And  he  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  O  man  of  God,  thus 
hath  the  king  said,  Come  tlown 
quickly. 

12  And  "'E-lT'jah  answered  and 
said  unto  them.  If  I  be  a  man  of 
God,  let  "fire  come  down  from 
heaven,  and  consume  thee  and 
thy  fifty.  And  "the  fire  of  God 
came  down  from  heaven,  and 
consumed  him  and  his  fifty. 

13  And  he  sent  again  a  'cap- 
tain of  the  third  fifty  with  his 
fifty.  And  the  third  captain  of 
fifty  went  up,  and  came  and  fell 
on  his  knees  before  E-li'jah,  and

fifty  thy  servants,  be  preeious  in 
thy  sight. 

14  Behold,  "there  eame  "fire

the  two  captains  of  the  former 
fifties  with  their  fifties:  therefore 
let  my  life  now  be  preeious  in  thy 
sight. 

15  And  the  ''angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  *fi-li'jah,  Go  down 
with  him:  be  not  afraid  of  him. 
.\nd  he  arose,  and  went  down 
with  him  unto  the  king. 

16  And  he  '.said  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Forasmuch  as 
thou  hast  sent  messengers  to  en- 
quire of  Ba'al-ze'bub  the  god  of 
^Ek'ron,  is  it  4iot  because  there 
is  no  God  in  Ls'ra-el  to  enquire 
of  his  word  ?  therefore  thou  shalt 
not  come  down  off  that  bed  on 
which  thou  art  gone  up,  but  shalt 
surely  die. 

17  ^  So  he  died  according  to  the 
'word  of  the  Lord  which  'f>-ll'- 
jah  had  sj^oken.  And  ^Je-ho'- 
rara  reigned  in  his  stead  in  the 
.second  year  of  '^Je-ho'rara  the 
son  of  Me-hosh'a-phcit  king  of 
'Jfj'dah;  because  he  had  no  son. 

18  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
'^A-ha-zI'ah  which  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  "book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
"Ls'ra-el  ? 

CHAPTER  2 

Elijah  divides. Jordan.  9  He  grants  Elislm 
nis  request,  and  is  taken  up  by  a  Hem 
chariot  into  heaven.  12  Klisha  is  ac 
knou'ledged  his  successor.  16  The  younq 
prophets  seek  lor  Elijah  in  vain.  10 
Elisha  heals  the  univholesome  waters  at 
.Jericho.  23  Bears  destroy  the  children

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the    Lord    would  *take 
up  "C-U'jah   into  heaven  by  a 


"'"whirlwind,  that  Ivli'jah  went 
with  ''Ivli'sha  from  'Gil'gal. 

2  And"E-li'jah  .said  unto"E-ll'- 
sha,  Tarry  here,  I  pray  thee; 
for  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to 
/Beth'-el.  And  E-lI'sh;l  said  un- 
to him,  "As  the  Loud  liveth, 
and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not 
leave  thee.  So  they  went  down 
to  Beth'-el. 

3  And  the  ^-''sons  of  the  'proph- 
ets that  were  at  Beth'-el  came 
forth  to  E-li'sha,  and  Asaid  unto 
him,  Knowest  thou  that  the 
Lord  will  take  away  thy  master 
from  thy  head  to  day  ?  And  he 
said,  Yea,  I  know  it;  hold  ye 
your  peace. 

4  And  "E-lI'jah  said  unto  him, 
'^E-ll'sha,  tarry  here,  I  pray  thee; 
for  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to 
*Jer'i-cho.  And  he  said,  "As  the 
Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liv- 
eth, I  will  not  leave  thee.  So 
they  came  to  Jer'i-cho. 

5  And  the  ^''sons  of  the  proph- 
ets that  were  at  Jer'i-cho  came  to 
E-ll'sha,  and  'said  unto  him, 
Knowest  thou  that  the  Lord 
will  take  away  thy  master  from

not  leave  thee.  And  they  two

Luke  1:44. 


SO  that  they  two  went  over  on 
dry  ground. 

9  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  gone  over,  that  "E-h'- 
jah  said  unto  ^'E-h'sha,  Ask 
what  I  shall  do  for  thee,  before  I 
be  *taken  away  from  tliee.  And 
E-li'sha  said,  I  pray  thee,  let  a 
douI)le  portion  of  thy  spirit  be 
upon  me. 

10  And  he  said,  Thou  hast 
asked  a  hard  thing:  nevertheless, 
if  thou  see  me  token  I  am  taken 
from  thee,  it  shall  be  so  unto 
thee;  but  if  not,  it  shall  not  be  so. 

1 1  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
still  went  on,  and  talked,  that, 
behold,  there  appeared  a  "char- 
iot of  fire,  and  '^horses  of  fire, 
and  parted  them  both  asunder; 
and  "E-li'jah  *'*'''\vent  up  by  a 
''•'^whirlwind  into  ^heaven. 

12  And  ''E-ll'sha  saw  it,  and 
he  cried,  My  father,  my  father, 
the  "chariot  of  I.s'ra-el,  and  the 
horsemen  thereof.  And  he  saw 
him  no  more:  and  he  took  hold 
of  his  own  clothes,  and  ''"rent 
them  in  two  pieces. 

13  "He  took  up  also  the  '"man- 
tle of  «E-irjah  that  fell  from 
him,  and  went  back,  and  stood 
by  the  bank  of  '  Jor'dan-; 

14  And  ''he  took  the  '"mantle  of 
"E-ll'jah  that  fell  from  him,  and 
smote  the  'waters,  and  said. 
Where  is  the  Lord  God  of  E-lI'- 
jah  ?  and  when  he  also  had  smit- 
ten the  waters,  they  "parted 
hither  and  thither:  and  E-ll'.slia 
went  over. 

15  And  when  the  ^'''sons  of  the 
jjrophets  which  were  to  view  at 
^Jer'i-cho  saw  him,  they  said, 
The  spirit  of  E-ll'jah  doth  rest 
on  E-lI'sha.  And  they  came  to 
meet  him,  and  "bowed  them- 
selves to  the  ground  before  him. 


16  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Behold  now,  there  be  with  thy 
servants  fifty  strong  men;  let 
them  go,  we  pray  thee,  and  seek 
thy  master:  lest  peradventure  the 
^Spirit  of  the  Lord  hath  taken 
him  up,  and  cast  him  upon  some 
mountain,  or  into  some  valley. 
And  he  said,  Ye  shall  not  send. 

17  And  when  they  urged  him 
till  he  was  ashamed,  he  said, 
Send.  They  sent  therefore  fifty 
men;  and  they  sought  three  tlays, 
but  found  him  not. 

18  And  when  they  came  again 
to  him,  (for  he  tarried  at  ''Jcr'i- 
chd,)  he  said  unto  them.  Did  I 
not  say  unto  you,  Go  not  ? 

19  *1[  And  the  men  of  the  city 
said  unto  E-ll'sha,  Behold,  I 
pray  thee,  the  situation  of  this 
city  is  pleasant,  as  my  lord  seeth : 
but  the  water  is  naught,  and  the 
gi'ound  barren. 

20  And  he  said.  Bring  me  a  new 
'"cru.se,  and  put  ■^salt  therein. 
And  they  brought  it  to  him. 

21  And  he  went  forth  uuto  the 
spring  of  the  waters,  and  cast  th? 
salt  in  there,  and  said,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  I  have  healed 
these  ^waters;  there  shall  not  be 
from  thence  any  more  death  or 
barren  land. 

22  So  the  ^waters  were  healed 
unto  this  day,  according  to  the 
.saying of  E-h'sha which  hespake. 

23  Tf  And  ''he  went  up  from 
thence  unto  ^Beth'-el:  and  as  he 
was  going  up  hy  the  way,  there 
came  forth  little  ^children  out  of 
the  city,  and  ^'"mocked  him,  and 
''said  unto  him,  Go  vip,  thou  bald 
head;  go  up,  thou  bald  head. 

24  And  ''he  turned  back,  and 
looked  on  them,  and  cursed 
them  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.

dered unto  the  king  of  I.s'ra-el  an 
iiundred  thousand  ^' '"lambs,  and 


an  hundred  thousand  rains,  with 
the  "wool. 

5  But  it  came  to  pass,  when 
''A'hab  was  dead,  that  the  king 
(^f  *]\Io'ab  rebelled  against  the 
"king  of  I.s'ra-el. 

6  Tl  xViid  king  "Je-hd'rain  went 
out  of  ''Sa-ma'ri-a  the  same  time, 
and  "numbered  all  l§'ra-el. 

7  And  he  went  and  sent  to  "^Je- 
hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  -'Ju'dah, 
saying,  The  king  of  ''Mo'ab  hath 
rebelled  against  me:  wilt  thou  go 
with  me  against  ]\l5'ab  to  battle? 
And  he  said,  ^I  will  go  up:  I  am 
as  thou  arf,  my  people  as  thy  peo- 
ple, and  my  horses  as  thy  horses. 

8  And  he  said,  ^Which  way 
shall  we  go  up  ?  And  he  an- 
swered. The  way  through  the 
wilderness  of  E'dom. 

9  So  the  "king  of  Ls'ra-el  went, 
and  the  *king  of  Ju'dah,  and  the 
king  of  *E'dom:  and  they  'fetch- 
ed a  compass  of  seven  days' 
journey:  and  there  was  no  water 
for  the  ''host,  and  for  the  cattle 
that  followed  them. 

10  And  the  "king  of  Is'ra-el 
said,  Alas!  that  the  Lord  hath 
called  these  three *kings  together.

to  deliver  them  into  the  hand 
of  ^Mo'ab! 

11  But  *Je-h6sh'a-phat  said, 
Is  there  not  here  a  prophet  of  the 
Lord,  that  we  may  ^enquire  of 
the  Lord  by  him  ?  And  one  of 
the  king  of  Ls'ra-el's  servants  an- 
swered and  said,  Here  is  'E-lI'- 
sha  the  son  of  ^Sha'phat,  which 
poured  water  on  the  hands  of 
E-lI'jah. 

12  And  ^Je-hosh'a-phat  said. 
The  ^word  of  the  Lord  is  with 
him.  So  the  ''king  of  Ls'ra-el 
and  Je-hosh'a-phat  and  the 
king  of  E'dom  went  down  to 
him. 

13  And  'E-lf  sha  "'said  unto  the 
king  of  Ls'ra-el,  What  have  I  to 
do  with  thee  ?  get  thee  to  the 
^prophets  of  thy  father,  and  to 
the  prophets  of  tliy  mother.  And 
the  king  of  Ls'ra-el  said  unto 
him,  Nay:  for  the  Lord  hath 
called  these  three  *kings  to- 
gether, to  deliver  them  into  the 
hand  of  *M6'ab. 

14  And  '£-li'sha  said,  As  the 
Lord  of  hosts  liveth,  before 
whom  I  stand,  surely,  were  it  not 
that  I  regard  the  presence  of 
''Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  Mu'- 
dah,  I  would  not  look  toward 
thee,  nor  see  thee. 

15  But  now  bring  me  a  min- 
strel. And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  minstrel  played,  that  the 
hand  of  the  Lord  ''came  upon 
him. 

16  And  ^he  said,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Make  this  valley  full  of 
ditches. 

17  For  thus  .saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
shall  not  see  wind,  neither  shall 
ye  see  rain;  yet  that  valley  shall 
be  filled  with  water,  that  ye  may 
drink,  both  ye,  and  your  cattle, 
and  your  beasts. 

18  And  this  is  but  a  light  thing 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord:  ^■''he 


will  deliver  the  "Mo'ab-ites  also 
into  your  hand. 

19  And  ye  shall  smite  every 
fenced  city,  and  every  choice 
city,  and  shall  fell  every  good 
tree,  and  stop  all  wells  of  water, 
and  mar  every  good  piece  of  land 
with  stones. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  when  the  meat  offer- 
ing was  oflFered  that,  behold, 
"there  came  water  by  the  way 
of  E'doin,  and  the  country  was 
filled  with  water. 

21  T[  And  when  all  the  "Mo'ab- 
Ites  heard  that  the  kings  were 
come  up  to  fight  against  them, 
they  gathered  all  that  were  able 
to  put  on  '^armour,  and  upward, 
and  stood  in  the  border. 

22  And  they  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  the  sun  shone  up- 
on the  water,  and  the  Mo'ab-Ites 
saw  the  water  on  the  other  side 
as  red  as  blood : 

23  And  they  said,  Thi.s  is  blood : 
the  kings  are  surely  slain,  and 
they  have  smitten  one  another: 
now  therefore,  "Mo'ab,  to  the 
''spoil. 

24  And  when  they  came  to  the 
camp  of  Ls'ra-el,  the  Ls'ra-el-Ites 
rose  up  and  smote  the  ''Mo'ab- 
ites,  so  that  they  fled  before 
them:  but  they  went  forward 
smiting  the  Mo'ab-ites,  even  in 
their  country. 

25  And  ''■"they  beat  down  the 
cities,  and  on  every  good  piece  of 
land  cast  every  man  his  stone, 
and  filled  it;  and  they  stopped 
all  the  wells  of  water,  and 
felled  all  the  good  trees:  only 
in  ^Kir-har'a-seth  left  they 
the  stones  thereof;  howbeit  the 
slingers  went  about  it,  and 
smote  it. 

26  1  And  when  the  king  of  I\Io'- 
ab  saw  that  the  battle  was  too 
sore  for  him,  he  took  with  him

seven  hundred  men  that  drew 
swords,  to  break  through  even 
unto  the  king  of  E'doni :  but  tliey 
could  not. 

27  Then  he  took  his  eldest  son 
that  should  have  reigned  in  his 
stead,  and  'ottered  ^hini  ]or  a 
burnt  offering  upon  the  wall. 
And  there  was  great  "indigna- 
tion against  Is'ra-el:  and  they 
departed  from  him,  and  re- 
turned to  their  own  land. 

CHAPTER  4 

Elisha  multiplies  the  widow's  oil.  8  He 
promises  a  son  to  the  good  Shunarninltp. 
18  //('  restores  her  son  to  life.  38  At 
Gilgal  he  heals  the  deadlu  pottage.  42  lie 
satisfies  a  hundred  men  with  twenty 
loaves. 

NOW  there  cried  a  certain 
"■''woman  of  the  waives  of 
the  sons  of  the  "^prophets  unto 
'^E-lI'sha,  saying,  Thy  servant 
my  husband  is  dead;  and  thou 
knowest  that  thy  servant  did 
^fear  the  Lord  :  and  the  ^creditor 
is  come  to  take  unto  him  my  two 
"sons  to  be  ''bondmen. 

2  And  ''f:-li'shu  'said  unto  her, 
What  shall  I  do  for  thee  ?  tell 
me,  what  hast  thou  in  the  house  ? 
And  she  said,  Thine  handmaid 
hath  not  anything  in  the  house, 
save  a  pot  of  'oil. 

3  Then  he  said.  Go,  borrow 
thee  vessels  abroad  of  all  thy 
neighbours,  even  empty  vessels; 
borrow  not  a  few. 

4  And  when  thou  art  come  in, 
thou  shalt  shut  the  door  upon 
thee  and  upon  thy  sons,  and 
shalt  pour  out  into  all  those  ves- 
sels, and  thou  shalt  set  aside  that 
which  is  full. 

5  So  she  went  from  him,  and 
shut  the  door  upon  her  and  upon 
her  sons,  who  brought  the  ve.^- 
seh  to  her;  and  ''she  poured  out. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
vp.s.sels  were  full,  that  she  said 
unto  her  son,  Bring  me  yet  a 
vessel.     And  he  said  unto  her, 


There  is  not  a  vessel  more.   And 
the  'oil  stayed. 

7  Then  she  came  and  told  the 
man  of  God.  And  he  said.  Go 
sell  the  'oil,  and  pay  thy  debt, 
and  live  thou  and  thy  children  of 
the  rest. 

8  T[  And  it  fell  on  a  day,  that 
'^E-li'sha  passed  to  'Slui'nem, 
where  ivcifi  a  great  '"woman;  and 
she  "constrained  "-''him  to  eat 
bread.  And  so  it  was,  that  as  oft 
as  he  passed  by,  he  turned  in 
thither  to  eat  bread. 

9  And  she  said  unto  her  hus- 
band. Behold  now,  I  perceive 
that  this  is  an  holy  man  of 
God,  which  passeth  by  us  con- 
tinually. 

10  Let  us  make  a  little  "cham- 
ber, I  pray  thee,  on  the  wall;  and 
let  us  set  for  him  there  a  bed, 
and  a  table,  and  a  stool,  and  a 
candlestick:  and  it  shall  be, 
when  he  cometh  to  us,  that  he 
shall  turn  in  thither. 

11  And  it  fell  on  a  day,  that  he 
came  thither,  and  he  turned  into 
the  "chamber,  and  lay  there. 

12  And  he  said  to^Ge-ha'zi  his 
servant,  Call  this  '^Shii'nam- 
mlte.  And  when  he  had  called 
her,  she  stood  before  him. 

13  And  ''he  said  unto  him.  Say 
now  unto  her.  Behold,  *thou  hast 
been  careful  for  us  with  all  this 
care;  what  is  to  be  done  for 
thee  ?  '•  "wouldest  thou  be  ^spo- 
ken for  to  the  king,  or  to  the 
captain  of  the  host  ?  And  she 
""answered,  I  tlwell  among  mine 
own  peoj)le. 

14  And  he  said.  What  then  is  to 
be  done  for  her  ?  and  Ge-ha'zi

season,  according  to  the  time  of 
life,  thou  shalt  embrace  a  son. 
And  she  said,  Nay,  my  lord,  tJiou 
man  of  God,  do  not  lie  unto 
thine  handmaid. 

17  And  the  woman  conceived, 
and  bare  a  son  at  that  season 
that  E-li'sha  had  said  unto  her, 
according  to  the  time  of  life. 

18  Tf  And  when  the  child  was 
grown,  it  fell  on  a  day,  that  he 
went  out  to  his  father  to  the 
reapers. 

19  And  he  said  unto  his  father, 
My  head,  my  head.  And  he  said 
to  'a  lad,  Carry  him  to  his 
mother. 

20  And  when  he  had  taken  him, 
and  brought  him  to  his  mother, 
he  sat  on  her  knees  till  noon,  and 
then  died. 

21  And  she  went  up,  and  laid 
him  on  the  bed  of  the  man  of 
God,  and  shut  the  door  upon 
him,  and  went  out. 

22  And  she  called  unto  her  hus- 
band, and  said,  Send  me,  I  pray 
thee,  one  of  the  young  men,  and 
one  of  the  ^asses,  that  I  may  run 
to  the  man  of  God,  and  come 
again. 

23  And  he  said,  Wherefore  wilt 
thou  go  to  him  to  day  ?  it  is  nei- 
ther ^new  moon,  nor  "sabbath. 
And  she  said.  It  shall  be  well. 

24  Then  she  saddled  an  ass, 
and  said  to  her  servant,  Drive, 
and  go  forward;  slack  not  thij 
riding  for  me,  except  I  bid  thee. 

25  So  she  went  and  came  unto 
the  man  of  God  to  mount  ^Ciir'- 
mel.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  man  of  God  saw  her  afar  off, 
that  he  said  to  *Ge-ha'zI  his 
servant.  Behold,  yonder  is  that 
'"Shii'nam-mlte : 

26  Run  now.  I  pray  thee,  to 
meet  her,  and  say  unto  her.  Is  it 
well  with  thee  ?  is  it  well  with  thv 


husband?  ^.s  zVwellwiththechild  ? 
And  she  answered,  ''It  is  well. 

27  And  when  she  came  to  the 
man  of  God  to  the  hill,  she 
caught  him  by  the  feet :  but  *Ge- 
ha'zi  came  near  to  thrust  her 
away.  And  the  man  of  God  said, 
Let  her  alone;  for  her  soul  is 
vexed  within  her:  and  the  Lord 
hath  hid  it  from  me,  and  hath 
not  told  me. 

28  Then  she  said.  Did  I  desire 
a  son  of  my  lord  ?  did  I  not  say, 
Do  not  deceive  me  ? 

29  Then  he  said  to  "^Ge-ha'zl, 
Gird  up  thy  loins,  and  take  my 
staff  in  thine  hand,  and  go  thy 
way:  if  thou  meet  any  man, 
salute  him  not;  and  if  any 
salute  thee,  answer  him  not 
again:  and  lay  my  staff  upon 
the  face  of  the  child. 

30  And  the  mother  of  the  child 
said.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as 
thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not  leave 
thee.  And  he  arose,  and  fol- 
lowed her. 

31  And  *Ge-ha'zT  passed  on  be- 
fore them,  and  laid  the  staff  up- 
on the  face  of  the  child;  but 
there  was  neither  voice,  nor  hear- 
ing. Wherefore  he  went  again  to 
meet  him,  and  told  him,  saying, 
The  child  is  not  awaked. 

32  And  when  *E-li'sha  was 
come  into  the  house,  behold,  the 
child  was  ^dead,  and  laid  upon 
his  bed. 

33  He  Avent  in  therefore,  and 
shut  the  door  upon  them  twain, 
and  ''prayed  unto  the  Lord. 

34  And  he  went  up,  and  lay 
upon  the  child,  and  put  his 
mouth  upon  his  mouth,  and  his 
eyes  upon  his  eyes,  and  his 
hands  upon  his  hands:  and  lie 
stretched  himself  upon  the  child; 
and  the  flesh  of  the  child  waxed 
M^arm.

and  went  up,  and  .stretched  him-

sneezed  seven  times,  and  the 
''child  '^openetl  his  eyes. 

3G  And  he  called  *Ge-ha'zI,

when  she  was  come  in  unto  him,

37  Then  she  went  in,  and  fell 
at  his  feet,  and  bowed  herself  to 
the  ground,  and  took  up  her  son, 
and  went  out. 

38  T[  And '^E-h'shil  came  again 
to  'Gil'gal:  and  there  was  a 
Mearth  in  the  land;  and  the  sons 
of  the  ^'prophets  were  sitting  be- 
fore him:  and  he  said  unto  his 
servant,  Set  on  the  great  pot, 
and  seethe  pottage  for  the  sons 
of  the  prophets. 

39  x4nd  one  went  out  into  the 
field  to  gather  herbs,  and  found 
a  wild  vine,  and  gathered  there- 
of wild  Vourds  his  lap  full,  and 
came  and  shred  them  into  the 
pot  of  pottage:  for  they  knew 
them  not. 

40  So  they  poured  out  for  the 
men  to  eat.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
as  they  were  eating  of  the  pot- 
tage, that  they  cried  out,  and 
said,  O  thou,  man  of  God,  tJtere 
is  death  in  the  pot.  And  they 
could  not  eat  therrof. 

41  But  he  saitl.  Then  bring 
meal.  And  ''he  cast  it  into  the 
pot;  and  he  said,  Pour  out  for 
the  people,  that  they  may  eat. 
And  ''there  was  no  harm  in  the 
pot. 

42  ^  And  there  came  a  man  from 
'"Ba'al-shal'i-sha,  and  brought 
the  man  of  God  "'"bread  of  the 
''firstfruits,  twenty  loaves  of  'bar- 
ley,  and  -full  ears  of  ''corn  in  ^the 
husk  thereof.  And  he  said,  Give 
unto  the  people,  that  they  may 
eat. 

43  And  his  servitor  said,  What, 


should  I  set  this  before  an  hun- 
dred men  ?  ^He  said  again,  Give 
the  people,  that  they  may  eat: 
for  thus  saith  the  Lord,  They 
shall  eat,  and  shall  leave  thereof. 
44  So  he  set  ^7  before  them,  and 
''they  did  eat,  and  left  thereof

Lord.

obtains  a  gift,  and  is  smitten  with  leprosy. 

NOW  «Na'a-man,  ^-aptain  of 
the  host  of  the  king  of 
'Syr'i-a,  was  a  great  man  with 
his  master,  antl  honourable,  be- 
cause by  him  the  Lord  had 
given  deliverance  unto  Syrl-a: 
he  was  also  a  mighty  man  in 
valour,  but  he  was  a  ''leper. 

2  And  the  Syr'i-an,§  had  gone 
out  by  companies,  and  had 
brought  away  ^'captive  out  of  the 
land  of  Is'ra-el  a  little  ''maid; 
and  ^she  waited  on  Na'a-man's 
wife. 

3  And  '"she  said  unto  her  mis-

with  the  '''prophet  that  is  in 
^Sa-ma'ri-a!  for  he  would  re- 
cover him  of  his  ''leprosy. 

4  And  one  went  in,  and  told  his 
lord,  saying.  Thus  and  thus  said 
the  maid  that  is  of  the  lantl  of

5  And  the  king  of  '"Syr'i-a  .said, 
Go  to,  go,  and  1  will  send  a  letter 
unto  the  king  of  Ls'i-a-el.  And 
he  departed,  and  took  with  him 
ten  talents  of  ^'silver,  and  six

ter,  that  he  "rent  his  clothes,  and 
said,  Am  I  God,  to  kill  and  to 
make  alive,  that  this  man  doth 
send  unto  me  to  recover  a  man 
of  his  '^leprosy  ?  wherefore  con- 
sider, I  pray  you,  and  ^see  how 
he  seeketh  a  quarrel  against  me. 

8  T[  And  it  was  so,  when  ''■^E-h'- 
sha  the  man  of  God  had  heard 
that  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  had 
"rent  his  clothes,  that  he  sent  to 
the  king,  sajing.  Wherefore  hast 
thou  rent  thy  clothes  ?  let  him 
come  now  to  me,  and  he  shall 
know  that  there  is  a  prophet  in 
T.s'ra-el. 

9  So  "Xa'a-man  came  with  his 
''horses  and  with  his  ^chariot, 
and  stood  at  the  door  of  the 
house  of  '^E-ll'sha. 

10  And  ''E-ll'sha  .sent  a  messen- 
ger unto  him,  saying,  Go  and 
wash  in  'Jor'dan  "seven  times, 
and  thy  flesh  shall  come  again  to 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  clean. 

11  But  "Xa'a-rnan  was  *'wroth, 
and  "'went  away,  and  said,  ^Be- 
hold, I  thought,  He  will  surely 
come  out  to  me,  and  stand,  and 
^call  on  the  name  of  the  Lord 
his  God,  and  ^strike  his  hand 
over  the  place,  and  recover  the 
'^leper. 

12  Mre  not  Ab'a-nji  and  Phar'- 
par,  rivers  of  Da-mas'cus,  better 
than  all  the  waters  of  Ls'ra-el  ? 
may  I  not  wash  in  them,  and  be 
clean  ?  So  he  turned  and  went 
away  in  a  rage. 

13  And  his  servants  came  near, 
and  .spake  unto  him,  and  said, 
My  father,  if  the  "prophet  had 
bid  thee  do  some  great  thing, 
wouldest  thou  not  have  done  it  ? 
how  much  rather  then,  when  he 
saith  to  thee,  Wash,  and  be 
clean  ? 

14  Then  went  he  down,  and 
dipped  himself  *seven  times  in 
'^Jor'dan,  according  to  the  say- 
ing of  the  man  of  God :  and  his 
flesh  came  again  like  unto  the 

58 


flesh  of  a  little  child,  and  he  was 
''clean. 

15  ^  And  he  returned  to  the 
'^man  of  God,  he  and  all  his  com- 
pany, and  came,  and  stood  be- 
fore him:  and  he  said.  Behold, 
*'^now  I  know  that  there  is  no 
God  in  all  the  earth,  but  in 
Ls'ra-el:  ''now  therefore,  I  pray 
thee,  take  a  ^- ^blessing  of  thy 
servant. 

16  But  he  said,  ^As  the  Lord 
liveth,  before  whom  I  stand,  I 
will  receive  none.  And  he  urged 
him  to  take  Ht;  but  he  refused. 

17  And  'Na'a-man  said.  Shall 
there  not  then,  I  pray  thee,  be 
given  to  thy  servant  two  ^'mules' 
burden  of  earth  ?  for  thy  servant 
will  henceforth  offer  neither 
'burnt  offering  nor  sacrifice  unto 
other  gods,  but  unto  the  Lord. 

18  In  this  thing  the  Lord  par- 
don thy  servant,  that  when  my 
master  goeth  into  the  '"house  of 
Rim'mon  to  "^worship  there,  and 
he  leaneth  on  my  hand,  and  I 
bow  myself  in  the  house  of  Rim'- 
mon: when  I  bow  down  myself 
in  the  house  of  Rim'mon,  the 
Lord  pardon  thy  .servant  in  this 
thing. 

19  And  he  said  unto  him,  Go  in 
peace.  So  he  departed  from  him 
a  little  way. 

20  ]f  But  "Ge-ha'zT,  the  servant 
of  °E-ll'sha  the  man  of  God, 
said.  Behold,  my  master  hath 
spared  ^Xa'a-man  this  Syr'i-an, 
in  not  receiving  at  his  hands  that 
which  he  brought:  but,  'a.?  the 
Lord  liveth,  ^1  will  run  after 
him,  and  'take  somewhat  of  him. 

21  So  "■^Ge-ha'zl  followed  after 
'Na'a-man.  And  when  Na'a- 
man  saw  him  running  after  him, 
he  lighted  down  from  the  ''char- 
iot to  meet  him,  and  said.  Is  all 
well  ? 

22  And  he  said,  All  is  well. 
*''i\Iy  master  hath  sent  me,  say-

thee,  a  talent  of  "silver,  and  two

23  And  ^Xa'a-nian  said.  Be 
content,  "take  two  talents.  And 
he  urged  him,  and  bound  two 
talents  of  "silver  in  two  bags, 
with  two  changes  of  ''garments, 
and  laid  tJicni  upon  two  of  his 
servants;  and  they  bare  them  be- 
fore him. 

24  And  when  he  came  to  the 
^tower,  he  took  thein  from  their 
hand,  and  bestowed  them  in  the 
house:  and  he  let  the  men  go, 
and  they  departed. 

25  But  ''•^e  went  in,  and  stood 
before  his  master.  And  "E-li'sha 
said  unto  him,  Whence  coviest 
thou,  Ge-ha'zi  ?  And  he  'said. 
Thy  servant  went  no  whither. 

26  And  he  said  unto  him,  Went 
not  mine  heart  with  thee,  when 
the  man  turned  again  from  his 
chariot  to  meet  thee  ?  ^Is  it 
a  time  to  receive  ^money,  and 
to  receive  garments,  and  olive-

27  ^The  "'"leprosy  therefore  of

famine  consequent  thereon  30  The  king 
of  Israel  sends  to  slau  Eltsha. 

AND  the  "sons  of  the  proph- 
ets said  unto  "P.-ll'sha, 
Behold  now,  the  ''place  where 
we  dwell  with  thee  is  too  .strait 
for  us. 

2  Let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  unto 
''.Tor'dan,  and  take  thence  every 
man  a  beam,  and  let  us  make  us 


a   place  there,   where  we  may 
dwell.  And  he  answered,  Go  ye. 

3  And  one  said.  Be  content,  I 
pray  thee,  and  go  with  thy  serv- 
ants. And  he  answered,  I  will  go. 

4  So  he  went  with  them.  And 
when  they  came  to  "^Jor'dan, 
they  cut  down  wood. 

5  But  as  one  was  felling  a  beam, 
the  *ax  head  fell  into  the  water: 
and  he  cried,  and  said,  Alas, 
master!  for  it  was  borrowed. 

6  And  the  'man  of  God  said. 
Where  fell  it  ?  And  he  shewed 
him  the  place.  And  he  cut  down 
a  stick,  and  cast  it  in  thither; 
and  the  ^iron  ''did  swim. 

7  Therefore  said  he.  Take  it  up 
to  thee.  And  he  put  out  his 
hand,  and  took  it. 

8  H  Then  the  king  of  Syr'i-a 
warred  against  ^Ls'ra-el,  and 
took  counsel  with  his  servants, 
saying.  In  such  and  such  a  place 
shall  be  my  camp. 

9  And  the  *man  of  God  sent 
unto  the  %ing  of  ^Ls'ra-el,  say- 
ing. Beware  that  thou  pass  not 
such  a  place;  for  thither  the 
Svr'i-ans  are  come  down. 

10  And  the  %ing  of  Is'ra-el  sent 
to  the  place  which  the  man  of 
(lod  told  him  and  warned  him 
of,  and  saved  himself  there,  not 
once  nor  twice. 

11  Therefore  the  heart  of  the 
king  of  Syr'i-a  was  sore  troul)led 
for  this  thing;  and  he  called  his 
servants,  and  said  unto  them. 
Will  ye  not  shew  me  which  of  us 
is  for  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

12  And  one  of  his  .servants  .said, 
Xone,  my  lord,  .O  king:  but 
^fi-ll^sha,  the  prophet  that  is  in 
Ls'ra-el,  telleth  the  king  of  Ts'- 
ra-el  the  words  that  thou  speak- 
est  in  thy  bedchamber. 

13  And  he  said,  Go  and  .spy 
where  he  is,  that  I  may  send  and 
fetch  him.  And  it  was  told  him, 
saying,  Behold,  hr  is  in  'Do'-

14  Therefore  sent  he  thither 
'"horse.s,  and  "chariots,  and  a 
great  host:  and  tliey  came  by 
night,  and  compassed  the  city 
about. 

15  And  when  the  servant  of  the 
man  of  God  was  risen  early,  and 
gone  forth,  behold,  an  host  com- 
passed the  city  both  with  horses 
and  chariots.  And  his  servant 
said  unto  him,  Alas,  my  master! 
how  shall  we  do  ? 

16  And  he  answered.  Tear  not : 
for  ^they  that  be  with  us  aremore 
than  they  that  be  with  them, 

17  And  "E-lI'sha  Sprayed,  and 
said.  Lord,  I  pray  thee,  open 
his  eyes,  that  he  may  see.  And 
the  Lord  '''opened  the  eyes  of 
the  young  man;  and  he  ''saw: 
and,  behold,  the  mountain  wa>t 
full  of  horses  and  ^-hariots  of 
fire  round  about  ]*]-li'sha. 

18  And  when  they  came  down 
to  him,  ''K-ll'sha  *j)rayed  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said.  Smite  thi.s 
people,  I  pray  thee,  with  *blind- 
ness.  And  he  smote  them  with 
blindness  according  to  the  word 
of  E-ll'sha. 

19  And  E-ll'sha  said  unto  them, 
This  is  not  the  way,  neither  is 
this  the  city:  follow  me,  and  I 
will  bring  you  to  the  man  whom 
ye  seek.  But  he  led  them  to 
'Sa-ma'rT-a. 

20  And  it  ?ame  to  pass,  when 
they  were  come  into  'Sa-ma'ri-a, 
that  *E-ll'sha  said,  Lord,  open 
the  eyes  of  these  men,  that  they 


may  see.  And  the  Lord  opened 
their  eyes,  and  they  saw;  and, 
behold,  thei/  were  in  the  midst  of 
Su-ma'ri-a. 

21  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said 
unto  E-lI'sha,  when  he  saw 
them.  My  father,  shall  I  smite 
them  ?  shall  I  smite  fhem  ? 

22  And  he  answered,  "Thou 
shalt  not  smite  them:  wouldest 
thou  smite  those  whom  thou  hast 
taken  captive  with  thy  sword 
and  with  thy  bow  ?  *'set  bread 
and  water  before  them,  that  they 
may  eat  and  drink,  and  go  to 
their  master. 

23  And  "he  prepared  great  pro- 
vision for  them:  and  when  they 
had  eaten  and  drunk,  he  sent 
them  away,  and  they  went  to 
their  master.  So  the  bands  of 
'Syr'i-a  came  no  more  into  the 
land  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  ^Ben-ha'dad  king  of 
^Syr'i-a  gathered  all  his  ^/jiost, 
and  went  up,  and  ^besieged  "Sa- 
ma'ri-a. 

25  And  there  was  a  great  ''fam- 
ine in  °Sa-ma'ri-a:  and,  behold, 
tiiey  '^besieged  it,  until  an  ''ass's 
head  was  sohl  for  fourscore 
pieces  of  ^silver,  and  the  fourth 
part  of  a  ''cab  of  dove's  dung  for 
five  pieces  of  silver. 

26  T[  And  as  the  "king  of  Is'- 
ra-el  was  passing  by  upon  the 
wall,  there  cried  a  woman  unto 
him,  saying,  Help,  my  lord,  O

27  And  he  said,  If  the  IvORD  do 
not  help  thee,  whence  shall  I 
help  thee  ?  out  of  the  barnfloor, 
or  out  of  the  winepress  ? 

28  And  the  ^king  said  unto  her, 
Wiiat  aileth  thee  ?  And  she  an- 
swereti,  This  woman  said  unto 
ine,  ''Give  thy  son,  that  we  may 
'eat  him  to  day,  and  we  will  eat 
my  son  to  morrow. 

29  So  we  boiled  my  son,  and 
did  eat  him:  and  I  .said  unto  her 
on  the  next  day,  (iive  thy  son, 
that  we  may  eat  him:  antl  she 
hath  hid  her  son. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  "king  heard  the  words  of  the 
woman,  that  he  ^rent  his  clothes ; 
and  he  passed  by  upon  the  wall, 
and  the  people  looked,  and,  be- 
hold, he  had  ^'sackcloth  within 
upon  his  flesh. 

31  Then  he  said,  ^God  do  so  and 
more  also  to  me,  '"if  the  head  of 
''E-ll'shi'i  the  son  of  "Sha'phat 
shall  stand  on  him  this  day. 

32  But  ^Edi'sha  sat  in  his

him;  and  the  ^king  sent  a  man 
from  before  him:  but  ere  the 
messenger  came  to  him,  he  saitl 
to  the  elders.  See  ye  how  this  son 
of  a  murderer  hath  sent  to  take

the  messenger  cometh,  shut  the 
door,  and  hold  him  fast  at  the

master's  feet  behind  him  ? 

33  And  while  he  yoi  talked  with 
them,  behold,  the  messenger 
came  down  unto  him:  and  "he

THEN    "E-ll'sha    said.    Hear

Thus  saith  the  I>ord,  To  mor- 


row about  this  time  shall  a 
"measure  of  fine  flour  be  sold  for 
a  shekel,  and  two  measures  of 
•^barley  for  a  shekel,  in  the  gate 
of  ''Sfi-ma'ri-a. 

2  Then  a  lord  on  whose  hand 
the  king  leaned  answered  the 
man  of  God,  and  said,  ^Behold, 
if  the  IvOrd  would  make  win- 
dows in  heaven,  might  this  thing 
be  ?  And  he  said.  Behold,  thou 
shalt  see  it  with  thine  eyes,  but 
shalt  not  eat  thereof. 

3  ^f  And  there  were  four  -'lep- 
rous men  "at  the  entering  in  of 
the  gate:  and  they  said  one  to 
another.  Why  sit  we  here  until 
we  die  ? 

4  If  we  say,  We  will  enter  into 
the  city,  then  the  ^famine  is  in 
the  city,  and  we  shall  die  there: 
and  if  we  sit  still  here,  we  die 
also.  Now  therefore  come,  and 
let  us  fall  unto  the  *host  of  the 
Syr'i-an.s:  if  they  save  us  alive, 
we  shall  live;  and  if  they  kill  us, 
we  shall  but  die. 

5  And  they  rose  up  in  the  twi- 
light, tc  go  unto  the  camp  of  the 
S)r'i-an,s:  and  when  they  were 
come  to  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
camp  of  'Syr'i-a,  behold,  there 
ivas  no  man  there. 

6  Eor  the  Lord  ^had  made  the 
host  of  the  Syr'i-an.s  to  hear  a 
noise  of  chariots,  and  a  noise  of 
horses,  even  the  noise  of  a  great 
'host:  and  they  .said  one  to  an- 
other, Lo,  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
hath  hired  against  us  the  kings

and  ^raiment,  and  went  and  hid 
it;  and  came  again,  and  en- 
tered into  another  tent,  and  car- 
ried thence  also,  and  went  and 
hid  it. 

9  Then  they  said  one  to  an- 
other, ^We  do  not  well :  this  day 
is  a  day  of  good  tidings,  and  we 
hold  our  peace:  if  we  tarry  till 
the  morning  light,  ^some  mis- 
chief will  come  upon  us:  ''now 
therefore  come,  that  we  may  go 
and  tell  the  king's  household. 

10  '^So  they  came  and  called 
unto  the  ^porter  of  the  city:  and 
they  told  them,  saying.  We  came 
to  the  camp  of  the  Syr'i-an.s, 
and,  behold,  there  was  no  man 
there,  neither  voice  of  man,  but 
horses  tied,  and  asses  tied,  and 
the  tents  as  they  were. 

11  And  he  called  the  ^porters; 
and  they  told  it  to  the  king's 
house  within. 

12  ^  And  the  king  arose  in  the 
night,  and  said  unto  his  serv- 
ants, I  will  now  shew  you  what 
the  Syr'i-an.s  have  done  to  us. 
They  know  that  we  be  hungry; 
therefore  are  they  gone  out  of  the 
camp  to  hide  themselves  in  the 
field,  saying,  When  they  come 
out  of  the  city,  we  shall  catch 
them  alive,  and  get  into  the 
city. 

13  And  one  of  his  servants  an- 
swered and  'said.  Let  soTne  take, 
I  pray  thee,  five  of  the  "horses 
that  remain,  which  are  left  in  the 
city,  (behold,  they  are  as  all  the 
multitude  of  Ls'ra-el  that  are 
left  in  it :  behold,  I  say,  they  are 
even  as  all  the  multitude  of  the 
I§'ra-el-ites  that  are  consumed :) 
and  let  us  send  and  see. 

14  They  took  therefore  two 
^chariot  horses;  and  the  king 
sent  after  the  host  of  the  Syr'i- 
an.s,  saying.  Go  and  see. 

15  And  they  went  after  them 
unto  *'J6r'dan:  and,  lo,  all  the 


way  was  full  of  garments  and 
vessels,  which  the  Syr'i-an§  had 
cast  away  in  their  haste.  And 
the  messengers  returned,  and 
told  the  king. 

16  And  the  people  went  out, 
and  spoiled  the  tents  of  the  Syr'- 
i-an.s. So  a  measure  of  fine  flour 
was  sold  for  a  shekel,  and  two 
measures  of  barley  for  a  shekel, 
according  to  the  '"word  of  the 
Lord. 

17^  And  the  king  appointed  the 
^lord  on  whose  hand  he  leaned 
to  have  the  charge  of  the  ^gate: 
and  the  people  trode  upon  him 
in  the  gate,  and  he  died,  "'as  the 
man  of  God  had  said,  who  spake 
when  the  king  came  down  to 
him. 

18  And  "'it  came  to  pass  as  the 
man  of  God  had  spoken  to  the 
king,  saying.  Two  measures  of 
barley  for  a  shekel,  and  a  meas- 
ure of  fine  flour  for  a  shekel, 
shall  be  to  morrow  about  this 
time  in  the  gate  of  Sa-ma'ri-a: 

19  And  that  ^lord  answered  the 
man  of  God,  and  said.  Now, 
behold,  ij  the  Lord  should 
make  windows  in  heaven,  might 
such  a  thing  be  ?  And  he  said. 
Behold,  thou  shalt  see  it  with 
thine  eyes,  but  shalt  not  eat 
thereof. 

20  And  "'so  it  fell  out  unto  him : 
for  the  people  trode  upon  him  in 
the  gate,  and  he  died.

2  And  the  woman  arose,  and 
ditl  after  the  saying  of  the  man  of 
God:  and  she  went  with  her 
household,  and  sojourned  in  the 
land  of  the  ''Phi-lis'tines  '^seven 
years. 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
'^seven  years'  end,  that  the 
woman  returned  out  of  the  land 
of  the  ''Phi-lis'tines :  and  she 
went  forth  to  ''cry  unto  the  king 
for  her  house  and  for  her  ^land. 

4  And  the  "king  talked  with 
*Ge-ha'zI  the  servant  of  the  man 
of  God,  saying.  Tell  me,  I  pray 
thee,  all  the  great  things  that 
'E-lI'sha  hath  done. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  ''he 
was  telling  the  king  how  4ie  had 
'restored  a  *dead  body  to  life, 
that,  behold,  the  woman,  whose 
son  he  had  restored  to  life,  '^cried 
to  the  king  for  her  house  and  for 
her  ''land.  And  Ge-ha'zl  said, 
My  lord,  O  king,  this  is  the 
woman,  and  this  is  her  son, 
whom  *E-lI'sha  restored  to  life. 

6  And  when  the  "king  asked  the 
woman,  she  told  him.  So  the 
'king  appointed  unto  her  a  cer- 
tain officer,  saying,  Restore  'all 
that  was  her's,  and  all  the  fruits 
of  the  field  since  the  day  that 
she  left  the  land,  even  until 
now. 

7  Tf  And  E-lT'sha  came  to  '"Da- 
mas'cus;  and  "Ben-ha'dad  the 
king  of  "Syr'i-a  was  sick;  and  it 
was  told  him,  saying,  The  man 
of  (Jod  is  come  hither. 

8  And  the  king  said  unto  Hl^//- 
a-el,  Take  a  ''•''present  in  thine 
hand,  and  go,  meet  the  man  of 
God,  and  enquire  of  the  Lord 


by  him,  saying,  Shall  I  recover 
of  this  disease  '/ 

9  So  '''Haz'a-el  went  to  meet 
him,  and  took  a  "'present  with 
him,  even  of  every  good  thing  of 
'"Da-mas'cus,  forty  ^-amels'  bur- 
den, and  came  and  stood  before 
him,  and  said,  Thy  son  "Ben- 
ha'dad  king  of  °Syr'i-a  hath  sent 
me  to  thee,  saying.  Shall  I  re- 
cover of  this  disease  ? 

10  And  'E-li'sha  said  unto  him. 
Go,  say  unto  him,  Thou  mayest 
certainly  recover:  howbeit  the 
Lord  hath  shewed  me  that  he 
shall  surely  die. 

11  And  he  settled  his  counte- 
nance stedfastly,  until  he  was 
ashamed:  and  the  man  of  God 
wept. 

12  And  ?'Haz'a-el  said.  Why 
weepeth  my  lord  ?  And  *he  an- 
swered. Because  'I  know  the 
evil  that  "thou  wilt  do  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-cl:  their  strong 
holds  wilt  thou  set  on  fire,  and 
their  young  men  wilt  thou  slay 
with  the  sword,  and  wilt  dash 
their  chiKlren,  and  rip  up  their 
"women  with  child. 

13  And  niaz'a-el  said.  But 
what,  is  thy  servant  a  "'dog,  that 
he  should  do  this  great  thing  ? 
And  E-lI'sha  answered.  The 
Lord  hath  ^shewed  me  that 
thou  sha!,<  h"  king  over  "Syr'i-a. 

14  So  he  departed  from  l^-ll'- 
sha,  and  came  to  his  master;  who 
said  to  him.  What  said  £l-ll'sha 
to  thee  ?  And  he  answered.  He 
told  me  iliat  thou  shouldest 
surely   recover. 

15  And  't  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  '^he  took  a  thick 
cloth,  and  dipped  it  in  water, 
and  ^spread  it  on  his  face,  so  that

his  stead. 

16  Tf  And  in  the  fifth  year  of 
Jo'ram  the  son  of  ^A'hab  king  of 
'^Is'ra-el,  "Je-hosh'a-phat  being 
then  king  of  '^Ju'dah,  ''Je-ho'- 
ram  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat 
king  of  Ju'dah  began  to  reign. 

17  Thirty  and  two  years  old 
was  he  when  he  began  to  reign; 
and  he  reigned  eight  years  in 
*Je-rii'sa-lein. 

18  And  ^he  walked  ^in  the  way 
of  the  kings  of  I§'ra-el,  as  did  the 
house  of  xl'hab :  for  the  '^daugh- 
ter of  A'hab  was  his  wife :  and  he 
did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

19  Yet  the  Lord  would  not 
destroy  ''Ju'dah  for  Da'vid  his 
servant's  *sake,  as  ^he  promised 
him  to  give  him  alway  a  light, 
and  to  his  ^children. 

20  *||  In  his  days  pydom  revolted 
from  under  the  hand  of  Ju'dah, 
andmade  a  king  over  themselves. 

21  So  '^Jo'ram  went  over  to 
Za'ir,  and  all  the  ^chariots  with 
him:  and  he  rose  by  night,  and 
smote  the  ^E'dom-Ttes  which 
compassed  him  about,  and  the 
captains  of  the  chariots:  and 
the  people  fled  into  their  tents. 

22  Yet  E'dom  revolted  from 
under  the  hand  of  Ju'dah  unto 
this  day.  Then  Lib'nah  revolted 
at  the  same  time. 

23  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
'^Jo'ram,  and  all  that  he  did,  arc 
they  not  written  in  the  '"book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
'^  Ju'dah  ? 

24  And  '^Jo'ram  '^slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  with  his 


fathers  in  the  *city  of  Da'vid: 
and  ^A-ha-zI'ah  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

25  H  In  the  twelfth  year  of  °J5'- 
ram  the  son  of  ^A'hab  king  of 
"Ls'ra-el  did  ■'^A-ha-zi'ah  the  son 
of  ''Jc-ho'ram  king  of  '^Ju'dah 
begin  to  reign. 

26  Two  and  twenty  years  old 
was  •'^A-ha-zi'ah  when  he  began 
to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  one  year 
in  ^Je-rii'sa-lem.  And  his  moth- 
er's name  was  ''Ath-a-ll'ah,  the 
daughterofOm'rikingof  Ls'ra-el. 

27  And  he  walked  ^in  the  way 
of  the  house  of  ^'  *A'hab,  and  did 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  as 
did  the  house  of  A'hab:  for  he 
was  the  son  in  law  of  the  house 
of  A'hab. 

28  Tf  'And  he  went  with  "Jo'- 
ram  the  son  of  ^A'ha,b  to  the  war 
against  *Haz'a-el  king  of  'Syr'i-a 
in  "Ra'moth-gil'e-ad;  and  the 
Syr'i-ans  wounded  Jo'ram.

to  be  healed  in  "Jez're-el  of  the 
wounds  which  the  Syr'i-ans  had 
given  him  at  "Ra'mah,  when  he 
fought  against  *Haz'a-el  king 
of  'Syr'i-a.  And  *A-ha-zI'ah  the

the  son  of  A'h&b  in  Jez've-el,  be-

him,  Gird  up  thy  loins,  and  take 
this  box  of  ''oil  in  thine  hand, 
and  go  to  *Ra'inoth-gil'e-ad: 

2  And  when  thou  comest 
thither,  look  out  there  Me'hu 
the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-pluit  tiie  son 
of  Xim'shl,  and  go  in,  and  make 
him  arise  up  from  among  his 
brethren,  and  carry  him  to  an 
inner  chamber; 

3  Then  take  the  box  of  '^oil,  and 
pour  it  on  his  head,  and  say, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ''I  have 
''anointed  'thee  king  over  Is'- 
ra-el.  Then  open  the  door,  and 
flee,  and  tarry  not. 

4  So  the  young  man,  even  the 
young  man  the  prophet,  went  to 
'^Ra'm  ot  h-gil'e-ad . 

5  And  when  he  came,  behold, 
the  'captains  of  the  host  were  sit- 
ting; and  he  said,  I  have  an  er- 
rand to  thee,  O  captain.  And 
'Je'hu  said,  Unto  which  of  all 
us  ?  And  he  said,  To  thee,  O 
captain. 

6  And  he  arose,  and  went  into 
the  house;  and  he  poured  the 
^oil  on  his  head,  and  said  unto 
him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  ^I  have  ''anointed 
'•''thee  king  over  the  people  of 
the  Lord,  eve7i  over  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  ^thou  shalt  smite  the 
house  of  A'hab  thy  master,  that 
I  may  avenge  the  blood  of  my 
servants  the  prophets,  and  the 
blood  of  all  the  servants  of  the 
Lord,  at  the  hand  of '"  Jez'e-bel. 

8  For  the  whole  house  of 
"A'hab  "shall  perish:  and  I 
will  cut  off  from  A'luib  'him 
that  pisseth  against  the  wall, 
and  him  that  is  shut  up  and  left 
in  Is'ra-el: 

9  And  I  will  make  the  house  of 
"A'hab  like  the  house  of  ''Jer-o- 
bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  and 
like  the  house  of  'Ba'a-sha  the 
son  of  ''A-hT'jah : 


10  ^Vnd  the  dogs  shall  eat 
'"  Je//e-bel  in  the  portion  of  '  Jez'- 
re-el,  and  there  shall  be  none  to 
"bury  her.  And  he  opened  the 
door,  and  fled. 

11  If  Then  AJe'ha  came  forth 
to  the  servants  of  his  lord:  and 
one  said  unto  him,  I,s  all  well  ? 
wherefore  came  this  mad  fellow 
to  thee  ?  And  he  .said  unto  them, 
Ye  know  the  man,  and  his  com- 
munication. 

12  And  they  said,  It  is  false; 
tell  us  now.  And  he  said.  Thus 
and  thus  spake  he  to  me,  sa^'ing. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ''I  have 
''anointed  '-"^thee  king  over  Is'- 
ra-el. 

13  Then  they  hasted,  and  took 
every  man  his  garment,  and  put 
it  under  him  on  the  top  of  the 
stairs,  and  blew  with  "trumpets, 
saying,  ^Je'hfi  is  '"king. 

14  So  ^Je'hu  the  son  of  Je- 
hosh'a-phat  the  son  of  Nim'- 
shl  ^conspii'ed  against  ^Jo'ram. 
(Now  Jo'ram  had  kept  ^Ra'- 
moth-gil'e-ad,  he  and  all  Ls'- 
ra-el,  because  of  *Haz'a-el  king 
of  ^Syr'i-a. 

15  But  king  '^Jo'ram  was  re- 
tvirncd  to  be  healed  in  ''Jez're-el 
of  the  wounds  which  the  Syr'i- 
an.s  had  given  him,  when  he 
fought  with  *Haz'a-el  king  of 
'^Syr'i-a.)  And  ''Je'hu  said.  If  it 
be  your  minds,  thrn  let  none  go 
forth  nor  escape  out  of  the  city 
to  go  to  tell  it  in  Jez're-el. 

16  So  '^Je'hu  rode  in  a  ^chariot, 
and  went  to  ''Jez're-el;  for  '^Jo'- 
ram lay  then;.  And  ''A-ha-zi'ah 
king  of  ''Ju'dah  ''was  come  down 
to  see  Jo'ram. 

17  And  there  stood  a  hvatch- 
man  on  the  'tower  in  ''Jez're-el, 
and  he  spied  the  company  of 
''Je'hu  as  he  came,  and  said,  I 
see  a  company.  And  '^Jo'ram 
said,   Take  an   horseman,   and

send  to  meet  them,  and  let  him 
say,  Is  it  ^peace  ? 

18  So  there  went  one  on  horse- 
back to  meet  him,  and  said, 
Thus  saith  the  king,  Is  it 
^■peace  ?  And  '^  Je'hu  said.  What 
hast  thou  to  do  with  peace  ? 
turn  thee  behind  me.  And  the 
'watchman  told,  saying,  Tlie 
messenger  came  to  them,  but  he 
Cometh  not  again. 

19  Then  he  sent  out  a  second 
on  horseback,  which  came  to 
them,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the 
king.  Is  it  ^peace  ?  And  '^Je'hu 
answered,  What  hast  thou  to  do 
with  peace  ?  turn  thee  behind 
me. 

20  And  the  'watchman  told, 
saving.  He  came  even  unto  them, 
and  Cometh  not  again:  and  the 
driving  is  like  the  driving  of 
''Je'hu  the  son  of  Nim'shT;  for  he 
driveth  furiously. 

21  And  "Jo'ram  said,  jMake 
ready.  And  his  ^chariot  was 
made  ready.  And  Jo'ram  king 
of  Ls'ra-el  and  ''A-ha-zi'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah  went  out,  each  in 
his  chariot,  and  they  went  out 
against  '^Je'hu,  and  met  him  in 
the  portion  of  'Na'both  the  Jez'- 
re-el-ite. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"Jo'ram  saw  ''Je'hu,  that  he 
said.  Is  it  ''peace,  Je'hu  ?  And 
he  answered,  What  peace,  so 
long  as  the  whoredoms  of  thy 
mother  Jez'e-bel  and  her  '"witch- 
crafts are  so  many  ? 

23  And  '^Jd'ram  turned  his 
hands,  and  fled,  and  said  to 
''A-ha-zI'ah,  There  is  ^treachery, 
O  A-ha-zfah. 

24  And  ''Je'hu  "drew  a  bow 
with  his  full  strength,  and  "smote 
"^Je-hd'ram   between   his   arms, 


and  the  arrow  went  out  at  his 
heart,  and  he  sunk  down  in  his 
^chariot. 

25  Then  said  '^Je'ku  to  Bid'kar 
his  ^captain.  Take  up,  and  cast 
him  in  the  portion  of  the  field  of 
'Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite :  for  re- 
member how  that,  when  I  and 
thou  rode  together  after  A'hab 
his  father,  the  Lord  laid  this 
burden  upon  him; 

20  Surely  I  have  seen  yester- 
day the  blood  of  'Na'both,  and 
the  blood  of  his  sons,  saith  the 
Lord;  and  I  will  requite  thee  in 
this  plat,  saith  the  Lord.  Now 
therefore  take  and  cast  ^him  into 
the  plat  of  ground,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord. 

27  T[  But  when  ^A-ha-zI'ah  the 
king  of  "Ju'dah  saw  this,  he  fled 
by  the  way  of  the  garden  house. 
And  '^Je'hu  followed  after  him, 
and  said,  Smite  him  also  in  the 
'^chariot.  And  they  "did  so  at  the 
going  up  to  Gur,  which  is  by 
Tb'le-am.  And  he  fled  to  'jNIe- 
gid'do,  and  died  there. 

28  And  his  servants  carried  him 
in  a  '^chariot  to  'Je-rii'sa-lem, 
and  "buried  him  in  his  sepulchre 
with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of 
Da'vid. 

29  And  in  the  eleventh  year  of 
"  J5'ram  the  son  of  "A'hab  began 
''A-ha-zl'ah  to  reign  over  ''Ju'-

heard  of  it;  and  she  ^painted  her 
face,  and  tired  her  head,  and 
looked  out  at  a  window.

the  gate,  she  said,  Had  ^'^Zim'ri

ter's house. 

4  But  they  were  exceedingly 
afraid,  and  said,  Behold,  two 
kings  stood  not  before  him:  how 
then  shall  we  stanti  ? 

5  And  he  that  was  over  the 
house,  and  he  that  tvas  over 
the  city,  the  ''elders  also,  and  the 
^bringers  up  of  the  chihlrcn,  sent 
to  '^Je'hu,  saying,  We  are  thy 
servants,  and  will  do  all  that 
thou  shalt  bid  us;  we  will  not 
make  any  king:  do  thou  iJiat 
which  is  good  in  thine  eyes. 

6  Then  ''he  wrote  a  letter  the 
second  time  to  them,  saying.  If 
ye  he  mine,  and  if  ye  will  heark- 
en unto  my  voice,  take  ye  the 
heads  of  the  men  your  master's 
sons,  and  come  to  me  to  '^Jez'- 
re-el  by  to  morrow  this  time. 
Now  the  king's  sons,  being 
seventy  persons,  tvere  with  the 
''great  men  of  the  city,  which 
brought  them  up. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
letter  came  to  them,  that  they 
took  the  king's  sons,  and  '''•'slew 
seventy  persons,  and  put  their 
heads  in  %askets,  and  sent  him 
them  to  ''Jez're-el. 

8  And  there  came  a  messenger, 
and  told  him,  saying,  They  have 
brought  the  heads  of  the  king's 
sons.  And  he  said,  Lay  ye 
them  in  two  hea])s  at  the  enter- 
ing in  of  the  'gate  until  the  morn- 
ing. 

9  And  it  came  to  j)a.ss  in  tlie 
morning,  that  lie  went  out,  and 
.stood,  and  said  to  all  the  people, 
\e  be  righteous:  behold,  I  'con- 
spired against  my  master,  and 
''slew  him:  but  who  slew  all 
these  ? 

10  Know  now  that  thei-e  shall 
fall  unto  the  earth  nothing  of 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
the  Lord  spake  concerning  the

hath  done  '"that  which  he  "^spake 
by  his  servant  E-li'jah. 

11  So  ^Je'hu  slew  all  that  re- 
mained of  the  house  of  "A'hab 
in  *Jez're-el,  and  all  his  great 
men,  and  his  'kinsfolks,  and  his 
priests,  until  he  left  him  none 
remaining. 

12  ^  And  ''he  arose  and  depart- 
ed, and  came  to  ''Sa.-ma'ri-a. 
And  as  he  xoas  at  the  shearing 
house  in  the  way, 

13  '^Je'hu  met  with  the  brethren 
of  °A-ha-zrah  king  of  ^Ju'dah, 
and  said.  Who  are  ye  ?  And  they 
answered,  We  are  the  brethren 
of  A-ha-zi'ah;  and  we  go  down 
to  salute  the  children  of  the  king 
and  the  children  of  the  queen. 

14  And  he  said,  Take  them 
alive.  And  they  took  them  alive, 
and  ''•'slew  them  at  the  pit  of  the 
shearing  house,  even  two  and 
forty  men ;  neither  left  he  any  of 
them. 

15  Tf  And  when  he  was  depart- 
ed thence,  he  lighted  on  *Je- 
h6n'a-da,b  the  son  of  *Re'chab 
coming  to  meet  him :  and  he  sa- 
luted him,  and  said  to  him,  ''Is 
thine  heart  right,  as  my  heart  is 
with  thy  heart  ?  And  Je-h6n'a- 
dab  answered.  It  is.  If  it  be,  give 
me  thine  *hand.  And  he  gave 
liim  his  hand;  and  he  took  him 
up  to  him  into  the  'chariot. 

16  And  he  said.  Come  with  me, 
and  see  my  "zeal  for  the  Lord. 
So  they  made  him  ride  in  his 
chariot. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  ''Sa- 
ma'ri-a,  he  slew  all  that  re- 
mained unto  A'hab  in  Sii-ma'- 
ri-a,  till  he  had  destroyed  him, 
according  to  the  '"saying  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  "spake  to 
£-h'jah. 

18  If  And  Me'hfi  gathered  all 
the  people  together,  and  said  un- 
to them,  A'hab  served  ^Ba'al  a 


little;  ^'hut  Je'hu  shall  serve  him 
much. 

19  Now  therefore  call  unto  me 
all  the  prophets  of  ^Ba'al,  all  his 
servants,  and  all  his  priests;  let 
none  be  wanting:  for  I  have  a 
great  sacrifice  to  do  to  Ba'al; 
whosoever  shall  be  wanting,  he 
shall  not  live.  But  '^ Je'hu  did  it 
in  ^subtilty,  to  the  intent  that  he 
might  destroy  the  worshippers  of 
Ba'al. 

20  And  ''Je'hu  said.  Proclaim 
a  solemn  assembly  for  *'Ba'al. 
And  they  proclaimed  it. 

21  And  Je'hu  sent  through  all 
Ls'ra-el:  and  all  the  worshippers 
of  ''Ba'al  came,  so  that  there  was 
not  a  man  left  that  came  not. 
And  they  came  into  the  ^house 
of  Ba'al;  and  the  house  of  Ba'al 
was  full  from  one  end  to  another. 

22  And  he  said  unto  him  that 
loas  over  the  vestry.  Bring  forth 
^vestments  for  all  the  worship- 
pers of  Bji'al.  And  he  brought 
them  forth  vestments. 

23  And  ''Je'hu  went,  and  Me- 
hOn'a-dab  the  son  of  *Re'ch3,b, 
into  the  ''house  of  ''Ba'al,  and 
said  unto  the  worshippers  of 
Ba'al,  Search,  and  look  that 
there  be  here  with  you  none  of 
the  servants  of  the  Lord,  but 
the  worshippers  of  Ba'al  only, 

24  And  when  they  went  in  to 
offer  sacrifices  and  '^burnt  offer-

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  he  had  made  an  end  of  offer- 
ing  the  *burnt  offering,  that  ''Je'-

"Je'hu,  Because  *thou  hast  done 
well  in  executing  that  which  is 
right  in  mine  eyes,  and  hast  done 
unto  the  house  of  A'hab  accord- 
ing to  ail  that  was  in  mine  heart, 
'^thy  children  of  the  fourth  gene-

31  But  "Jelm  nook  no  heed 
to  walk  in  the  law  of  the  Lord 
God  of  I.s'ra-el  with  all  his  heart: 
for  he  departed  not  from  the  sins 
of  *Jer-o-b6'am,  which  '"made

ye  with  the  king  as  he  goeth  out 
and  as  he  cometh  in. 

9  And  the  'captains  over  the 
hundreds  did  according  to  all 
things  that  °'^Je-hoi'a-da  the 
•Spriest  commanded:  and  they 
took  every  man  his  men  that 
were  to  come  in  on  the  "sabbath, 
with  them  that  should  go  out 
on  the  sabbath,  and  came  to 
Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest. 

10  And  to  the  ''captains  overhun- 
dreds  did  the  "■  Spriest  give  king 
Da'vid's  '^spears  and  ^shields, 
that  were  in  the  ^•'^•''temple  of 
the  Lord. 

11  And  the  guard  stood,  every 
man  with  his  weapons  in  his 
hand,  round  about  the  king, 
from  the  right  corner  of  the 
''temple  to  the  left  corner  of  the 
temple,  along  by  the  altar  and 
the  temple. 


12  And  ''•'^he  brought  forth  the 
king's  son,  and  ''put  the  ''crown 
upon  him,  and  gave  him  the 
"•''testimony;  and  they  made  him 
king,  and  'anointed  him;  and 
they  clapped  their  hands,  and 
said,  God  save  the  king. 

13  t  And  when  *Ath-a-II'ah 
heard  the  noise  of  the  guard  a7id 
of  the  people,  she  came  to  the 
people  into  the  ''temple  of  the 
Lord. 

14  And  when  she  looked,  be- 
hold, the  ^king  stood  by  a  pillar, 
as  the  manner  was,  and  the  prin- 
ces and  the  trumpeters  by  the 
king,  and  all  the  people  of  the 
land  rejoiced,  and  blew  with 
'trumpets: and  Ath-a-ll'ah  *rent 
her  clothes,  and  cried,  "Treason, 
Treason. 

15  But  ^''^Je-hoi'a-da  the  Spriest 
commanded  the  "'captains  of 
the  hundreds,  the  officers  of  the 
"host,  and  said  unto  them.  Have 
her  forth  ^without  the  ranges: 
and  him  that  followeth  her  kill 
with  the  sword.  For  the  priest 
had  said,  Let  her  not  be  slain  in 
the  ''house  of  the  Lord. 

16  And  they  laid  hands  on  her; 
and  she  went  by  the  way  by  the 
which  the  horses  came  into  the 
king's  house:  and  there  was  she 
"slain. 

17  Tf  And  '^•'^Je-hoi'a-da  made  a 
^•^covenant  between  the  Lord 
and  the  king  and  the  people,  that 
they  should  be  the  Lord's  peo- 
ple; between  the  king  also  and 
the  people. 

18  And  '^all  the  people  of  the 
land  went  into  the  ^house  of 
TJa'al,  and  "brake  it  down;  his

they  in  pieces  thoroughly,  and 
slew  "JNIat'tan  the  priest  of 
Ba'al  before  the  altars.  And 
the  '^''priest  appointed  officers 
over  the  *house  of  the  Lord. 

19  And  '^•''he  took  the  rulers 
over  hundreds,  and  the  captains, 
and  the  guard,  and  all  the  people 
of  the  land;  and  they  brought 
down  the  king  from  the  *house 
of  the  Lord,  and  came  by  the 
way  of  the  gate  of  the  guard  to 
the  king's  "'house.  And  he  sat  on 
the  -^throne  of  the  kings. 

20  And  all  the  people  of  the 
land  rejoiced,  and  the  city  was 
in  quiet:  and  they  slew  Ath-a- 
ll'ah  with  the  sword  beside  the 
king's  house, 

21  Seven  years  old  was  Je-ho'- 
&sh  when  he  began  to  reign. 

CHAPTER  12 

Jehoash  reigns  well  all  the  days  of  Jehoiada. 
4  He  gives  orders  to  repair  the  temple.  17 
Hazael  is  diverted  from  Jerusalem  by  a 
present  of  the  hallowed  treasures.  10  Je- 
hoash is  slain  by  his  servants;  and  Ama- 
ziah  succeeds  him. 

IN  the  seventh  year  of  ''Je'hu 
*Je-ho'ash  began  to  reign; 
and  forty  years  reigned  he  in 
^Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his  mother's 
name  tvas  '^Zib'i-ah  of  '^Be'er- 
she'bd. 

2  And  Me-ho'ash  ^did  that 
ivhich  tens  right  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord  all  his  days  wiierein 
*Je-hoi'a-da  the  ''priest  instruct- 
ed him. 

3  But  the  ''high  places  were  not 
taken  away:  the  people  still  *sac- 
rificed  and  burnt  incense  in  the 
high  places. 

4  ]f  And  Me-ho'ash  said  to  the 
priests,  All  the  ^money  of  the 
dedicated  things  that  is  brought 
into  the  ^house  of  the  Lord, 
^even  the  money  of  every  one 


that  passeth  the  account,  the 
money  that  every  man  is  set  at, 
and  all  the  money  that  cometh 
'into  any  man's  heart  to  bring 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

5  Let  the  priests  take  it  to  them 
every  man  of  his  acquaintance: 
and  let  them  repair  the  breaches 
of  the  *house,  wheresoever  any 
breach  shall  be  found. 

6  But  it  was  so,  that  in  the  three 
and  twentieth  year  of  king  *Je- 
ho'ash  the  '"priests  had  not  re- 
paired the  breaches  of  the  house. 

7  Then  king  ''Je-ho'ash  called 
for  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  and 
the  other  priests,  and  '^said  unto 
them,  Why  repair  ye  not  the 
breaches  of  the  house  ?  now 
therefore  receive  no  more  'money 
of  your  acquaintance,  but  deliver 
it  for  the  breaches  of  the  house. 

8  And  the  priests  consented  to 
receive  no  more  'money  of  the 
people,  neither  to  repair  the 
breaches  of  the  house. 

9  But  *Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest 
took  a  "chest,  and  bored  a  hole 
in  the  lid  of  it,  and  set  it  beside 
the  altar,  on  the  right  side  as  one 
cometh  into  the  ^house  of  the 
Lord:  and  the  priests  that  kept 
the  door  put  therein  all  the  ^mon- 
ey that  was  brought  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

10  And  it  was  so,  when  they 
saw  that  there  was  much  'money 
in  the  "chest,  that  the  king's 
''scribe  and  the  'high  priest  came 
up,  and  they  put  up  in  bags,  and 
told  the  money  that  was  found 
in  the  ''^house  of  the  Lord. 

11  And  they  gave  the  'money, 
being  told,  into  the  hands  of 
them  that  did  the  work,  that  had 
the  oversight  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord:  and  they  laid  it  out  to  the 
^carpenters  and    builders,   that

and  hewed  stone  to  repair  the

out  for  the  house  to  repair  it. 

13  Howbeit  there  were  not 
made  for  the  %ouse  of  the  Lord 
bowls  of  'silver,  "snuffers,  ''ba-

■^gold,  or  vessels  of  silver,  of  the 
'money  that  was  brought  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord: 

14  But  they  gave  ^that  to  the 
workmen,  and  repaired  there- 
with the  house  of  the  Lord. 

15  Moreover  they  reckoned  not 
with  the  men,  into  whose  hand 
they  delivered  the  money  to  be 
bestowed  on  workmen :  for  they 
^' "dealt  ^faithfully. 

16  The  trespass  ''money  and  sin 
money  was  not  brought  into  the 
'^house  of  the  Lord:  ^it  was  the 
priests'. 

17  11  Then  ^HazVel  king  of 
^Syr'i-a  went  up,  and  fought 
against  ''Gath,  and  took  it:  and 
Haz'a-el  set  his  face  to  go  up  to 
*Je-ri/sa-lfm. 

18  And  ae-ho'ash  king  of  *Ju'- 
dah  'took  all  the  hallowed  things 
that  ■'^Je-hosh'a-phat,  and  '"Je- 
ho'ram,  and  "A-ha-zI'ah,  his  fa-

found  in  the  treasures  of  the 
''house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
king's   ^house,  and   *sent  it  to 


'Haz'a-el  king  of  ^Syr'i-a :  and  he 
went  away  from  *Je-ru'sa-lem. 

19  H  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
'  Jo'ash,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  ''book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of

20  And  his  *■ 'servants  arose, and 
made  a ''conspiracy,  and  "•"'•  ^slew 
'Jo'ash  in  the  house  of  ^Mil'16, 
which  goeth  down  to  Sil'la.

and  they  ''buried  him  with  his  fa-

i-;\,  and  into  the  hand  of  "Ben- 
ha'dad  tlie  son  of  Haz'a-cl,  all 
their  days. 

4  And  '^Je-ho'a-haz  ^besoutrht 
the  Lord,  and  the  Lord 
'hearkened  unto  him :  for  he  saw 
the  ''oppression  of  Ls'ra-el,  he- 
cause  the  king  of  "Syr'i-a  op- 
pressed tiiem. 

5  (And  the  *Lord  gave  Ls'ra-el 
a  saviour,  'so  that  they  went  out 
from  under  the  hand  of  the  Syr'- 
i-an,s :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
dwelt  in  their  tents,  as  before- 
time. 

6  Nevertheless  "they  departed 
not  from  the  sins  of  the  house  of 
Oer-o-bo'am,  ^who  made  Is'- 
ra-el sin,  hut  walked  therein :  and 
there  remained  the  "grove  also 
in  '^Sa-ma'ri-a.) 

7  Neither  did  he  leave  of  the 
people  to  '^Je-hd'a-haz  but  fifty 
'"horsemen,  and  ten  ^chariots, 
and  ten  thousand  ^footmen;  for 
the  king  of  "Syr'i-a  had  de- 
stroyed them,  and  had  made 
them  like  the  dust  l)y  threshing. 

8  ^  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
'^Je-ho'a-h3,z,  and  all  that  he  did, 
and  his  might,  are  they  not  writ- 
ten in  the  ^book  of  the  chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  ° Is'ra-el  ? 

9  And  *Je-ho'a-haz  ^slept  with 
his  fathers;  and  they  buried  him 
in  ''Sa-ma'ri-a:  and  Jo'ash  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

10  ^  In  the  thirty  and  seventh 
year  of  ''Jo'ash  king  of  'Ju'dah 
began  ^le-ho'ash  the  son  of  *Jc- 
ho'a-haz  to  reign  over  °T.s'ra-el 
in  ''Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  six- 
teen years. 

11  And  ''he  '*did  that  which  ims 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  IvORD;  he 
departecl  not  from  all  the  sins  of 
*Jer-o-b6'am  the  son  of  Ne'bSt, 


who  made   I§'ra-el  sin:  bid  he 
walked  therein. 

12  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
^Jo'ash.  and  all  that  he  did,  and 
his  might  wherewith  he  fought 
against  'Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  ''Jil'- 
dali,  arc  they  not  written  in  the 
^book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  "Is'ra-el  ? 

13  And  '•' Jo'ash  'slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  "'Jer-o-l)o'am  sat 
upon  his  throne :  and  JO'ash  was 
buried  in  ''Sa-ma'ri-a  with  the 
kings  of  Ls'ra-el. 

14  If  Now  "E-ll'sh;l  was  fallen 
sick  of  his  sickness  whereof  he 
died.  And  ^Jo'ash  the  king  of 
Ls'ra-el  came  down  unto  hiin, 
and  wept  over  his  face,  and 
said,  O  my  father,  my  father, 
the  chariot  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  the 
horsemen  thereof. 

15  And  "^fi-ll'sha  said  unto  him, 
Take  bow  and  "arrows.  And  he 
took  unto  him  bow^  and  arrows. 

16  And  ''^he  said  to  the  ''^king  of 
Ls'ra-el,  Put  thine  hand  upon  the 
bow.  And  he  put  his  hand  upon 
it:  and  '*E-lT'sha  put  his  hands 
upon  the  king's  hands. 

17  And  he  said,  Open  the  win- 
dow eastward  And  he  opened 
it.  Then  E-  'sha  said,  Shoot. 
And  he  shot.  And  he  said,  The 
arrow  of  the  Lord's  deliver- 
ance, and  the  arrow  of  deliv- 
erance from  ^Syr'i-tl:  for  *thou 
shalt  smite  the  Syr'i-ans  in 
A'phek,  till  thou  have  consumed 
them. 

18  And  he  said.  Take  the  "ar- 
rows. And  he  took  them.  And  he 
said  unto  the  ^Ivjng  of  Ls'ra-el, 
Smite  upon  the  ground.  And  he 
smote  thrice,  and  stayed. 

19  And  the  man  of  God  was 
wroth  with  him,  and  said,  Thou

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
were  burying  a  man,  that,  be- 
hold, they  spied  a  band  of  men; 
and  they  cast  the  man  into  the

the  man  was  let  down,  and 
touched  the  bones  of  E-lI'shtl,

^Syr'i-a  "oppressed  "I.s'ra-el  all 
the  days  of  Je-ho'a-haz.

son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  king  of  *I,s'- 
ra-el  reigned  *Am-a-zi'ah  the 
son  of  '^Jo'ash  king  of  '^Ju'dah. 


2  He  was  twenty  and  five  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
reigned  twenty  and  nine  years  in 
'^Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his  mother's 
name  was  ^Je-ho-ad'dan  of  Je- 
ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
yet  not  like  "Da'vid  his  father: 
he  did  according  to  all  things  ''as 
'■Jo'ash  his  father  did. 

4  Howbeit  the  4iigh  places  were 
not  taken  away:  as  yet  the  peo- 
ple ^did  sacrifice  and  burnt  in- 
cense on  the  high  places. 

5  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  the  kingdom  was  confirmed  in 
his  hand,  that  he  *slew  his  'serv- 
ants which  had  slain  the  king 
his  father. 

6  But  the  '"'"children  of  the 
murderers  he  slew  not:  accord- 
ing unto  that  which  is  written  in 
the  book  of  the  "law  of  Mo'ses, 
wherein  the  Lord  commanded, 
saying,  ^The  fathers  shall  not  be 
put  to  death  for  the  children, 
*nor  the  children  be  put  to  death 
for  the  fathers;  but  every  man 
shall  be  put  to  death  for  his  own 
sin. 

7  He  ''slew  of  E'dom  in  the  val- 
ley of  'salt  ten  thousand,  and 
took  'Se'lah  by  "war,  and  called 
the  name  of  it  Jok'the-el  unto

the  thistle. 

10  Thou  hast  indeed  smitten 
''E'doni,  and  thine  heart  hath 
'^Hfted  thee  up:  glory  oj  this,  and 
tarry  at  home:  for  why  shouldest 
thou  meddle  to  ihij  hurt,  that 
thou  shouldest  fall,  evr7i  thou, 
and  '^  Ju'dah  with  thee  ? 

11  But  Am-a-zi'ah  would  not 
hear.  Therefore  ''Je-hd'ash  king 
of  Is'ra-el  went  up;  and  he  and 
Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  look- 
ed one  another  in  the  face  at 
''Beth-she'mesh,  which  bclongcth 
to  Ju'dah. 

12  And  '^Ju'dah  was  put  to  the 
worse  before  ^Ls'ra-el;  and  they 
fled  every  man  to  their  tents. 

13  And  -^Je-ho'ash  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el  took  *Am-a-zl'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  the  son  of  Je-ho'ash  the 
son  of  A-ha-zi'ah,  at  ''Bcth-she'- 
mesh,  and  came  to  ''Je-rii'sa- 
lem,  and  brake  down  the  wall  of 
Je-rii'sa-lem  from  the  '^gate  of 
E'phra-im  unto  the  corner  gate, 
four  hundred  cubits. 

14  And  he  took  'all  the  gold  and 
silver,  and  all  the  vessels  that 
were  found  in  the  'diouse  of  the 
Lord,  and  in  the  treasures  of 
the  king's  'house,  and  '"hostages, 
and  returned  to  "Sa-niil'ri-a. 

15  ^  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
*  Je-ho'ash  which  he  did,  and  his 
might,  and  how  he  fought  with 

"Am-a-zI'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
Is'ra-el  ? 

16  And  'Je-ho'ash  "slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  was  ''buried  in 
"Sa-ma'rT-a  with  the  kings  of  Is'- 
ra-el; and  *Jer-o-bo'am  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

17  T[  And  *Am-a-zT'ah  the  son 
of  '■Jo'ash  king  of  Ju'dah  lived 
after  the  death  of  ^Je-ho'ash  son 
of  Je-ho'a-haz  king  of  "Is'ra-el 
fifteen  years. 

18  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 


Am-a-zl'ah,  arc  they  not  writ- 
ten in  the  *book  of  tlie  chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  "^Ju'dah  ? 

19  Now  'they  made  a  "con- 
spiracy against  him  in  ^Je-ru'- 
sa-lem  :  and  he  fled  to  "La'chish; 
but  they  sent  after  him  to  La'- 
chish, and  *slew  him  there. 

20  And  they  brought  him  on 
horses:  and  he  was  ^'buried  at 
'Jc-rif'sa-lrm  with  his  fathers  in 
tlie  city  of  Da'vid. 

21  If  And  all  the  people  of  Ju'- 
dah took  ^Az-a-rl'ah,  which  was 
sixteen  years  old,  and  made  him 
king  instead  of  his  father  x\ni- 
a-zi'ah. 

22  "He  built  "E'lath,  and  re- 
stored it  to  Ju'dah,  after  that 
the  king  slept  with  his  fathers. 

23  ^  In  the  fifteenth  year  of 
Am-a-zl'ah  the  son  of  2Jo'ash 

king  of  ''Ju'dah  '^ Jer-o-bo'am  the 
son  of  ''Jo'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el 
began  to  reign  in  ''Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and  reigned  forty  and  one 
years. 

24  And  ''he  did  that  tvhich  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord:  he 
departed  not  from  all  the  sins  of 
''Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat, 
who  made  Is'ra-cl  to  sin. 

25  He  restored  the  coast  of  I§'- 
ra-el  from  the  entering  of  *Ha'- 
math  unto  the  *sea  of  the  plain, 
according  to  the  'word  of  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  which  he 
spake  by  the  hand  of  his  servant 
^'Jo'nah,  the  son  of  'A-mit'ta-I, 
the  prophet,  which  was  of  Oath- 
he'pher. 

26  For  the  Lord  saw  the  '"af- 
fliction of  Ls'ra-elj  that  it  'was 
very  bitter:  for  there  was  not  any 
shut  up,  nor  any  left,  nor  any 
helper  for  Ls'ra-el. 

27  And  the  I.,ord  said  not  that 
"he  would  blot  out  the  name  of 
Is'ra-el  from  under  heaven :  but

Azariah's  gcod  reign.  5  He  dies  a  leper: 
and  Jonathan  succeeds  him.  8  Zacha- 
riah,  the  last  of  .Jehu's  race,  is  slain  by

Pekah  is  oppressed  by  Tlglath-pileser. 
and  slain  by  Hoshca.  32  Jotham's  good 
reign.     36  A^taz  succeeds  him. 

IN  the  twenty  and  seventh  year 
of  "Jcr-o-bo'am  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el began  *Az-a-rl'ah  son  of 
'^Am-a-zl'ah  king  of  '^Ju'dah  to 
reign. 

2  Sixteen  years  old  was  he  when 
he  began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned 
two  and  fifty  years  in  '^Je-ru'sa- 
lem.  And  his  mother's  name  was 
^Jech-o-ll'ah  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  he  did  that  ivhich  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
''according  to  all  that  his  ''father 
Am-a-zl'ah  had  done; 

4  Save  that  the  'high  places 
were  not  removed:  the  people 
'sacrificed  and  burnt  incense 
still  on  the  high  places. 

5  T[  And  ^the  Lord  smote  the 
king,  so  that  he  was  a  'leper  unto 
the  day  of  his  death,  and  '"dwelt 
in  a  several  house.  And  *Jo'- 
tham  the  king's  son  was  "over 
the  house,  judging  the  people  of 
the  land.

*Az-a-rl'ah,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  "book 
of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
''Ju'dah  ? 


7  So  ''Az-a-rl'ah  ^slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  they  ^buried  him 
with  his  fathers  in  the  "^city  of 
Da'vid:  and  Jo'tham  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

8  Tf  In  the  thirty  and  eighth 
year  of  ''Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  ''Ju'- 
dah did  '^Zach-a-rl'ah  the  son  of

departed  not  from  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat, 
who  made  Ls'ra-el  to  sin.

and  ^'  ^smote  him  before  the  peo- 
ple, and  slew  him,  and  ^reigned

'^Zach-a-ri'ah,  behold,  they  arc 
written  in  the  ''book  of  the

12  This  was  the  word  of  the

''Je'hu,  saying,  Thy  sons  shall

14  For  Men'a-hem  the  son  of 
Ga'di  went  up  from  ^Tir'zah, 
and  came  to  ''Sa-ma'ri-a,  and 
'•'^smote  Shal'lum  the  son  of

him,  and  'reigned  in  his  stead.

of  I§'ra-el  began  *Jo'tham  the 
son  of  'Uz-zi'ah  king  of  ^Ju'dah 
to  reign. 

33  Five  and  twenty  years  old 
was  he  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in 
^Je-rii'sa-lem.  And  his  moth- 
er's name  was  ^Je-rii'sha,  the 
daughter  of  ^Za'dok. 

34  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord: 
he  did  ^according  to  all  that  his 
"father  *tJz-zi'ah  had  done. 

35  Howbeit  the  4iigh  places 
were  not  removed:  the  people 
''sacrificed  and  burned  incense 
still  in  the  high  places.  He  built 
the  higher  gate  of  the  ''house  of 
the  Lord. 

36  ^  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
*Jo'tham,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  'book 
of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of

37  In  those  days  the  Lord  be- 
gan to  ''send  against  ^Ju'dah 
Hle'zin  the  king  of  'Syr'i-a,  and 
'Pe'kah  the  son  of  ^Rem-a-li'ah. 

38  And  *Jo'tham  ^'slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  was  ^buried 
with  his  fathers  in  the  '"city  of 
Da'vid  his  father:  and  "''A'haz 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.

2  Twenty  years  old  tvas  ''A'haz 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
reigned  sixteen  years  in  ''Je-ru'- 
sa-lem,  and  "did  not  that  which 
was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  his  God,  Hke  Da'vid  his 
father. 

3  But  ''he  walked  in  the  way  of 
the  kings  of  I§'ra-el,  yea,  and 
"^made  his  ^son  to  pass  through 
the  ^fire,  according  to  the  abom- 
inations of  the  heathen,  whom 
the  Lord  cast  out  from  before 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  And  he  'sacrificed  and  burnt 
incense  in  the  '"high  places,  and 
on  the  hills,  and  under  every 
green  tree. 

5  If  ''Then  "Re'zin  king  of 
^Syr'i-ii  and  "Pe'kah  son  of 
''Rem-a-li'ah  king  of  *Ls'ra-el 
came  up  to  *■  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  war : 
and  they  "besieged  '^A'haz,  but 
could  not  overcome  him. 

6  At  that  time  "Re'zin  king  of 
^Syr'i-a  recovered  'E'latli  to 
Syr'i-a,  and  drave  the  "Jew.s 
from  E'lath:  and  the  Syr'i-ans 
came  to  E'lath,  and  dwelt  there 
unto  this  day. 

7  So  ''A'haz  *sent  ''messengers 
to  "'Tig'lath-pi-le'.ser  king  of 
^As-syr'i-a,  saying,  I  am  thy 
servant  and  thy  son:  come  up, 
and  save  me  out  of  ihe  hand  of 
the  "king  of  ^Syr'i-a,  and  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  "king  of  *I§'ra-el, 
which  rise  up  against  me. 

8  And  A'haz  took  the  silver  and 
gold  that  was  found  in  the 
%ouse  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
treasures  of  the  king's  %ouse, 
and  sent  it  for  a  "present  to  the 
''king  of  '^As-syr'i-a.

CHAPTER  17 

Hoshea's  wicked,  reign.  3  Being  subdued 
by  Shalmancser,  he  conspires  against  Mm 
with  So  king  of  Egypt.  5  27ie  len  tribes, 
for  their  sins,  are  subdued  and  carried 
into  captivity.  24  The  strange  nations 
which  were  transplanted  to  Samaria.  25 
Being  plagued  with  lions,  they  partially 
introduce  the  worship  of  the  true  God. 

IN  the  twelfth  year  of  ''A'haz 
king  of  ''Ju'dah  began  ^H6- 
.she'a  the  son  of  '^E'lah  to  reign 
in  ''Sa-ma'ri-a  over  ''I§'ra-el  nine 
years. 

2  And  ^he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  but 
not  as  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  that 
were  before  him. 

3  Against  him  came  up  ''Shal- 
man-e'.ser  king  of  ^As-syr'i-a; 
and  '^Ho-she'a  became  his  serv- 
ant, and  gave  him  ^presents. 

4  And  the  ''king  of  *As-syr'i-a 
found  ^conspiracy  in  ''Ho-she'a: 
for  he  had  sent  ^messengers  to 
So  king  of  '"E'gypt,  and  brought 
no  ^present  to  the  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a,  as  he  had  done  year  by 
year:  therefore  the  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a  shut  him  up,  and  bound 
him  in  pri.son. 

5  Then  the  ''king  of  ^As-syr'i-a 
came  up  throughout  all  the  land, 
and  went  up  to  "Sa-ma'ri-a,  and 
"besieged  it  th^ee  years. 

6  In  the  ninth  year  of  '^Ho-she'a 
the  ''king  of  *As-syr'i-a  took  "Sa- 
ma'ri-a,  and  ^•*' ''carried  ^Is'ra-el 
away  into  As-syr'i-a,  and  *placed 
them  in  *Ha'lah  and  in  ^Ha'bor 
%  the  river  of  ^Gd'zan,  and  in 
the  cities  of  the  "Mede.s. 

7  For  so  it  was,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  ^Is'ra-el  had  sinned 
against  the  Lord  their  God, 
which  had  brought  them  up  out 
of  the  land  of  "'E'gypt,  from  un- 
der the  hand  of  ''Pha'raoh  king 
of  E'gypt,  and  had  ""feared  other 
gods, 

8  And  walked  in  the  statutes  of 
the  ^heathen,  whom  the  Lord 


cast  out  from  before  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  of  the  kings  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  they  had  made. 

9  And  the  children  of  'Is'ra-el 
did  secretly  fhose  things  that 
tvere  not  right  against  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  they  built  them 
^high  places  in  all  their  cities, 
from  the  tower  of  the  ^watch- 
men to  the  fenced  ^city. 

10  And  they  "set  them  up  ^im- 
ages and  ''groves  in  every  high 
hill,  and  under  every  green  tree : 

11  And  there  they  burnt  '^in- 
cense in  all  the  ''high  places,  as 
did  the  Mieathen  whom  the  Lord 
carried  away  before  them;  and 
wrought  wicked  things  to  pro- 
voke the  Lord  to  ^anger: 

12  For  they  ''served  idols, 
whereof  the  Lord  had  said  unto 
them,  Ye  shall  not  do  this  thing. 

13  Yet  the  Lord  testified 
against  Is'ra-el,  and  against  Ju'- 
dah,  by  all  the  prophets,  and  hij 
all  the  seers,  saying,  'Turn  ye 
from  your  evil  ways,  and  keep  my 
commandments  and  my  statutes, 
according  to  all  the  ''law  which 
I  commanded  your  fathers,  and 
which  I  ''sent  to  you  by  my  serv 
ants  the  prophets. 

14  Notwithstanding  they 
%ould  not  hear,  but  'hardened 
their  necks,  like  to  the  neck  of 
their  fathers,  that  did  ''^not  be- 
lieve in  the  Lord  their  God. 

15  And  'they  rejected  his  stat- 
utes, and  his  'covenant  that  he 
made  with  their  fathers,  and  his 
testimonies  which  he  testified 
against  them;  and  they  '"fol- 
lowed vanity,  and  became  vain, 
and  '^vent  after  the  Mieathen 
that  were  round  about  them,  con- 
cerning whom  the  Lord  had 
charged  them,  that  they  should 
not  do  like  them. 

16  And  they  left  all  the  coin-

manduK'nts  of  the  Loud  their 
God,  and  made  them  "moUeii 
images,  even  two  ^ealve.s,  and 
made  ^a  *grove,  and  worshipped 
all  the  'host  of  heaven,  and 
served  ^Ba'al. 

17  And  ''they  ^caused  their 
'■"sons  and  their  daughters  to 
pass  through  the  "fire,  and  used 
tlivination  and  enchantments, 
and  sold  themselves  to  do  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lokd,  to  pro- 
voke him  to  *anger. 

18  Therefore  the  I^ord  was 
very  ^angry  with  I.s'ra-el,  and 
'"removed  them  out  of  his  sight: 
there  was  none  left  but  the  tribe 
of  ^Ju'dah  only. 

19  Also  ^Jfi'dah  %ept  not  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  but  walked  in  the 
statutes  of  Is'ra-el  which  they 
made. 

20  And  the  Lord  rejected  all 
the  seed  of  I.s'ra-el,  and  afflicted 
them,  and  ^delivered  them  into 
the  hand  of  spoilers,  until  he  had 
cast  them  out  of  his  sight. 

21  For  he  rent  Is'ra-el  from  the 
house  of  Da'vid;  and  they  made 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat 
king:  and  Jer-o-bo'am  drave  Is'- 
ra-el from  following  the  Lord, 
and  "made  them  sin  a  great  sin. 

22  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
walked  in  all  the  "sins  of  Jer-o- 
bo'am  which  he  did;  they  de- 
parted not  from  them ; 

23  Until  the  Lord  ''removed 
Is'ra-el  out  of  his  sight,  as  he 
had  said  by  all  his  servants  the 
[)rf)phots.  So  was  T.s'ra-el  "^car- 
ried  away  out  (jf  their  own  land 
to  "As-syr'i-a  unto  this  day. 

24  T[  And  the  king  of  '^A.s- 
syr'i-a  brought  men  from'^Bab'y- 
lon,  and  from  'Cu'thah,  and 
from  ''A'va,  and  from  ''Ila'math, 


and  from  "Seph-ar-va'iin,  and 
placed  iJu'Di  in  the  cities  of  'Sa- 
ma'ri-a  instead  of  the  children  of 
'Ls'ra-el:  and  they  possessed  Sa- 
ma'ri-a,  and  dwelt  in  the  cities 
thereof. 

25  And  so  it  was  at  the  be- 
ginning of  their  dwelling  there, 
that  they  feared  not  the  Lord: 
therefore  the  ^Lord  sent  'lions 
among  them,  which  slew  some  of 
them. 

26  Wherefore  they  spake  to  the 
king  of  '*As-.syr'i-a,  saying,  The 
nations  which  thou  hast  re- 
moved, and  placed  in  the  cities 
of  'Sa-ma'ri-a,  know  not  the 
manner  of  the  God  of  the  land: 
therefore  "^he  hath  sent  'lions 
among  them,  and,  behold,  they 
slay  them,  because  they  know 
not  the  manner  of  the  God  of  the 
land. 

27  Then  the  king  of  ''As-syr'i-a 
commanded,  saying,  Carry 
thither  one  of  the  '"priests  whom 
ye  brought  from  thence;  and  "let 
them  go  and  dwell  there,  and  let 
him  "teach  them  the  manner  of 
the  God  of  the  land. 

28  Then  one  of  the  priests 
whom  they  had  carried  away 
from  *Sa,-ma'ri-a  came  and 
dwelt  in  ^Bcth'-el,  and  "taught 
them  how  they  shoukl  ''fear  the

35  With  whom  the  Lord  had 
made  a  '^covenant,  and  charged 
them,  saying,  *Ye  shall  not  fear 
other  gods,  nor  bow  yourselves 
to  them,  nor  serve  them,  nor 
sacrifice  to  them : 

36  But  the  "^Lord,  who  brought 
you  up  out  of  the  land  of 
"E'gvpt  with  great  power  and  a 
stretched  out  arm,  ^him  shall  ye 
'fear,  and  him  shall  ye  ^worship, 
and  to  him  shall  ye  do  sacrifice. 

37  And  the  statutes,  and  the 
ordinances,  and  the  law,  and  the 
commandment,  which  he  wrote 
for  you,  ''-'ye  shall  observe  to  do 
for  evermore;  and  *ye  shall  not 
fear  other  gods. 

38  And  the  "covenant  that  I 
have  made  with  you  ye  shall  not 
forget;  ^neither  shall  ye  fear 
other  gods. 

39  But  'the  Lord  your  God 
ye  shall  ''fear;  and  '"''^he  shall  de- 
liver you  out  of  the  hand  of  all 
your  enemies. 

40  Howbeit     they    'did     not 


hearken,  but  they  did  after  their 
former  manner. 

41  So  these  nations  feared  the 
Lord,  and  served  their  graven 
images,  both  their  '"children, 
and  their  children's  children :  "as 
did  their  fathers,  so  do  they  unto 
this  day. 

CHAPTER  IS 

Hezekiah's  good  reign.  4  He  destroys  idola- 
try, and  prosiKTS.  9  Tlie  ten  tribes  are 
carried  away  captive  for  their  sins.  13 
Sennacherib  Invading  J  udahis  pacified  by 
a  tribute.  17  Rab-shakeh,  sent  by  Sen- 
nacherib, reviles  Hezcklah,  and  exhorts 
the  people  to  revolt. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
third  year  of  "Ho-she'a 
son  of  "E'lah  king  of  T.s'ra- 
el,  ihat  '^Hez-e-kl'ah  the  son  of 
''A'haz  king  of  'Ju'dah  began  to 
reign. 

2  Twenty  and  five  years  old 
was  ''he  when  he  began  to  reign; 
and  he  reigned  twenty  and 
nine  years  in  ^Je-rii'sa-lem,  His 
mother's  name  also  was  ''A'bl, 
the  daughter  of  *Zach-a-rl'ah. 

3  And  'he  did  ihat  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Da'vid  his 
father  did. 

4  He  removed  the  ^high  places, 
and  'brake  the  'images,  and  cut 
down  the  ^-'"groves,  and  brake 
in  pieces  the  *brasen  serpent 
that  "Mo'.ses  had  made:  for  unto 
those  days  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el  "did  burn  ^incense  to  it: 
and  he  called  it  Ne-hush'tan. 

5  He  ^trusted  in  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el;  so  that  after  him  was 
none  like  him  among  all  the 
kings  of  '^Ju'dah,  nor  any  that 
were  before  him. 

6  For  he  ''clave  to  the  Lord, 
and  departed  not  from  follow- 
ing him,  but  *kept  his  'command- 
ments, which  the  Lord  com- 
manded "Mo'.se.s. 

7  And  the  "Lord  was  with 
''him;  and  he  "prospered  whith-

against  'Sfi-ma'ri-a,  and  'be-

year  of  '^Hez-e-ki'ah,  that  is  the 
ninth  year  of  '^Ho-she'a  king  of

is  Phil'raoh  king  of  E'gypt  unto 
all  that  trust  on  him. 

22  But  if  ye  say  unto  me,  We 
trust  in  the  '^LoRD  our  God:  is 
not  that  he,  whose  high  places 
and  whose  altars  ^Hez-e-kl'ah 
hath  taken  away,  and  hath  said 
to  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa,-lem,  Yc 
shall  worship  before  this  altar  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem  ? 

23  Now  therefore,  ^I  pray  thee, 
give  pledges  to  my  lord  the  '"king 
of  "As-syr'i-a,  and  I  will  deliver 
thee  two  thousand  "horses,  'if 
thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to  set 
riders  upon  them. 

24  How  then  wilt  thou  turn 
away  the  face  of  one  captain  of 
the  least  of  my  master's  servants, 
and  put  thy  trust  on  E'gypt  for 
"chariots  and  for  ^'horsemen  ? 

25  Am  I  now  come  up  without 
the  Lord  against  this  place  tJ 
destroy  it  ?  ^The  Lord  said  to 
me.  Go  up  against  this  land,  and 
destroy  it. 

26  Then  said  *£:-ll'a-kim  the 
son  of  *Hil-kI'ah,  and  "Sheb'- 
na,  and  ^Jo'ah,  unto  ^Rab'-sha- 
keh.  Speak,  I  pray  thee,  to  thy 
servants  in  the  Syr'i-an  ^lan- 
guage; for  we  understand  it:  and 
talk  not  with  us  in  the  ^Jew.s' 
language  in  the  ears  of  the  peo- 
ple that  are  on  the  wall. 

27  But  ^Rab -sha-keh  said  un- 
to them,  Hath  my  master  sent 
me  to  thy  master,  and  to  thee,  to 
speak  these  words  ?  hath  he  not 
sent  me  to  the  men  which  sit  on 
the  wall,  that  they  may  eat  their 
own  dung,  and  drink  their  own 
^piss  with  you  ? 

28  Tf  Then  +Rab'-sha-keh  stood 
and  cried  with  a  loud  voice  in  the 
^Jews'  ^language,  and  spake, 
saying,Hearthe  word  of  the  great 
king,  the  '"king  of  ''As-syr'i-a : 

29  Thus  saith  the  king,  Let  not 
Hez-e-ki'ah  deceive  you:  for  he 
shall  not  be  able  to  deliver  you 
out  of  his  hand: 


30  ^Neither  let  Hez-e-kl'ah 
make  you  trust  in  the  Lord, 
saying.  The  Lord  will  surely 
deliver  us,  and  this  city  shall  not 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

31  Hearken  not  to  "Hez-e-ki'- 
ah:  for  thus  saith  the  ''king  of 
'^As-syr'i-a,  Make  ^an  agreement 
with  me  by  a  present,  and  come 
out  to  ine,  and  then  eat  ye  every 
man  of  his  own  ''vine,  and  every 
one  of  his  *fig  tree,  and  drink  ye 
every  one  the  waters  of  his 
'cistern : 

32  Until  I  come  and  take  you 
away  to  a  land  like  your  own 
land,  a  land  of  ''corn  and  ''wine, 
a  land  of  bread  and  ''vineyards, 
a  land  of  *oil  olive  and  of  ^honey, 
that  ye  may  live,  and  not  die: 
and  hearken  not  unto  "Hez-e- 
ki'ah,  when  he  persuadeth  you, 
saying,  The  Lord  will  deliver 
us. 

33  Hath  any  of  the  gods  of  the 
nations  delivered  at  all  his  land 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
"As-syr'i-a  ? 

34  Where  are  the  gods  of 
^Ha'math,  and  of  'Ar'pad  ? 
where  are  the  gods  of  "'Seph- 
ar-va'im,  "He'na,  and  "I'vah  ? 
have  they  delivered  ^Sa-ma'ri-a 
out  of  mine  hand  ? 

35  Who  are  they  among  all 
the  gods  of  the  countries,  that 
have  delivered  their  country  out 
of  mine  hand,  that  the  Lord 
should  deliver  ^Je-ru'sa-lem  out 
of  mine  hand  ? 

36  But  the  people  held  their 
peace,  and  answered  him  not  a 
word:  for  the  king's  command- 
ment was,  saying.  Answer  him 
not.

CHAPTER  19 

Hezekiah  sends  to  Isaiah  to  pray  for  deliver- 
ance. 6  Isaiah  comforts  hijn.  8  Sen- 
nacherib sends  a  blasphemous  letter  to 
llczckiah.  14  Ilezekiah's  prayer.  20 
Isaiah  loretells  the  destruction  of  Sen- 
nacherib, and  the  safetu  of  Zlon.  35  An 
angel  slays  the  .Assyrians.  36  Sennach- 
erib Is  slain  at  \lneveh  by  his  own  sons. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
king  "Hez-e-ki'ah  heard 
it,  that  he  ''•'^rent  hi.s  clotlies,  and 
covered  himself  with  '^sackcloth, 
and  went  into  the  ''•''house  of  the 
Lord. 

2  And  he  sent  ''f^-ll'a-kim, 
which  ivas  over  the  household, 
and  ''Sh?b'na  the  Scribe,  and  the 
eltlers  of  the  priests,  ''covered 
with  '^sackcloth,  to  'I-.sa'iah  the 
prophet  the  son  of  ^A'lnoz. 

3  And  they  said  unto  Hum, 
Thus  saith  '^Hez-e-ki'ah,  This 
day  is  a  day  of  trouble,  and 
of  rebuke,  and  ^blasphemy:  for 
the  children  are  come  to  the 
birth,  and  there  is  not  strength 
to  bring  forth. 

4  It  may  be  the  T^ord  thy  God 
will  hear  all  the  words  of  'Rab'- 
sha-keh,  whom  the  '"king  of  "As- 
svr'i-a  his  master  hath  sent  to 
reproach  the  living  God;  and 
will  reprove  the  words  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  heard: 
wherefore  "lift  up  thy  prayer 
for  the  remnant  that  are  left. 

5  So  the  servants  of  king  "Hez- 
e-ki'ah  came  to  ^I-.sa'iah. 

6  Tl  And  'I-sa'iah  said  unto 
them,  Thus  shall  ye  say  to  your 
ma.ster,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
''Be  not  afraid  of  the  words 
which  thou  hast  heard,  with 
which  the  servants  of  the  king  of 
As-syr'T-a  have  ^blasphemed  me. 

7  Behold,  T  will  -.send  a  'blast 
upon  him,  and  he  shall  hear  a 
rumour,  and  shall  return  to  his 
own  land;  and  I  will  cause  him 
to  fall  by  the  sword  in  his  own 
land. 


8  ^  So  'Rrib'-sha-keh  returned, 
and  found  the  '"king  of  "As- 
syr'i-ii  warring  against  'Lib'nah: 
for  he  had  heard  that  he  was  de- 
parted from  "La'chish. 

9  And  when  he  heard  say 
of  n^r'ha-kah  king  of  «'E-thi- 
o'pi-a.  Behold,  he  is  come  out 
to  fight  against  thee:  he  ^sent 
^messengers  again  unto  ^H6z-e- 
ki'ah,  saying, 

10  Thus  shall  ye  speak  to  ^H6z- 
e-kl'ah  king  of  "Jil'dah,  "saying. 
Let  not  thy  God  in  whom  thou 
truste.st  deceive  thee,  saying,  ''Je- 
ru'sil-lcm  shall  not  be  delivered 
into  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
'^As-syr'i-a. 

11  "'^Behold,  thou  hast  heard 
what  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a  have 
tlone  to  all  lands,  by  destroying 
them  utterly:  and  shalt  thou  be 
delivered  ? 

12  ''Have  the  gods  of  the  na- 
tions delivered  them  which  my 
fathers  have  destroyed;  as  'Go'- 
zan,  and  "lia'ran,  and  ''Re'zeph, 
and  the  children  of  'E'd6n  which 
were  in  'The-la'sar  ? 

13  Where  is  the  king  of  *Ha'- 
math,  and  the  king  of  'Ar'pad, 
and  the  king  of  the  city  of 
'"Seph-ar-va'ira,  of  "He'na,  and 
"Tvah  ? 

14  Tf  And  Hez-e-kl'ah  re- 
ceived the  ^letter  of  the  hand  of 
the  ^messengers,  and  read  it: 
and  Ilez-e-kl'ah  went  up  into  the 
'house  of  the  Lord,  and  spread 
it  before  the  Lord. 

15  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  *prayed 
before  the  Lord,  and  said,  O 
Lord  God  of  Ts'ra-el,  which 
'dwellest  between  the  cherubims, 
thou  art  the  "God,  even  thou 
alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth;  Hhou  hast  made  '"heaven 
and  ^earth. 

16  »'2'LoRD,  bow  down  thine 
ear,  and  hear:  open,  I>ord,

hath  sent  him  to  reproach  the 
living  God. 

17  Of  a  truth,  Lord,  the  kings 
of  *As-syr'i-a  have  destroyed  the 
nations  and  their  lands, 

18  And  have  cast  their  '^gods 
into  the  fire:  for  they  were  no 
gods,  but  the  work  of  men's 
hands,  wood  and  ''stone:  there- 
fore they  have  destroyed  them. 

19  Now  therefore,  O  Lord  our 
God,  I  beseech  thee,  save  thou 
us  out  of  his  hand,  ''that  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth  may  know 
that  thou  art  the  Lord  God, 
even  thou  only. 

20  If  Then  '-"I-sa'iah  the  son 
of  A'moz  sent  to  ''Hez-e-kl'ah, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  That  which  thou 
hast  prayed  to  me  against  "Sen- 
nS.ch'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  T 
have  heard. 

21  This  is  the  word  that  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 
him;  The  virgin  the  daughter  of 
'Zl'on  hath  despised  thee,  and 
laughed  thee  to  scorn;  the 
daughter  of  ^Je-rii'sa-lem  hath 
shaken  her  head  at  thee. 

22  Whom  hast  thou  reproached 
and  'blasphemed  ?  and  against 
whom  hast  thou  e.xalted  thy 
voice,  and  lifted  up  thine  eyes  on 
high  ?  even  against  the  '"Holy 
One  of  Is'ra-el. 

23  By  thy  "messengers  thou  hast 
reproached  the  Lord,  and  hast 
"said,  With  the  multitude  of  my 
chariots  I  am  come  up  to  the 
height  of  the  mountains,  to  the 
sides  of  ^Lfb'a-non,  and  will  cut 
down  the  tall  cedar  trees  thereof, 
and  the  choice  fir  trees  thereof: 
and  I  will  enter  into  ^the  lodg- 
ings of  his  borders,  and  into  the 
forest  of  his  Car'mel, 

24  I  have  digged  and  drunk 
strange  waters,  and  with  the  sole 
of  my  feet  have  I  dried  up  all  the 
rivers  of  ^besieged  places. 

25  Hast  thou  not  heard  long 


ago  how  I  have  done  it,  and  of 
ancient  times  that  I  have  formed 
it  ?  now  have  I  brought  it  to 
pass,  that  *thou  shouldest  be  to 
lay  waste  fenced  '^cities  into  ruin- 
ous heaps. 

26  Therefore  their  inhabitants 
were  of  small  power,  they  were 
dismayed  and  confounded;  they 
were  as  the  grass  of  the  field,  and 
as  the  green  herb,  as  the  grass  on 
the  house  tops,  and  as  corn  blast- 
ed before  it  be  grown  up. 

27  But  T  know  thy  abode,  and 
thy  going  out,  and  thy  coming 
in,  and  thy  rage  against  me. 

28  Because  thy  rage  against 
me  and  Hhy  tumult  is  come  up 
into  mine  ears,  therefore  'I  will 
put  my  hook  in  thy  nose,  and 
my  "bridle  in  thy  lips,  and  I  will 
turn  thee  back  by  the  way  by 
which  thou  camest. 

29  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto 
thee.  Ye  shall  eat  this  year  such 
things  as  grow  of  themselves,  and 
in  the  second  year  that  which 
springeth  of  the  same;  and  in 
the  third  year  "sow  ye,  and 
reap,  and  plant  vineyards,  and 
eat  the  fruits  thereof. 

30  And  the  remnant  that  is  es- 
caped of  the  house  of  "'Ju'dah 
shall  yet  again  take  root  down- 
ward, and  bear  fruit  upward. 

31  For  out  of  *Je-ru'sa-lem 
shall  go  forth  a  remnant,  and 
they  that  escape  out  of  mount 
^Zl-on:  the  zeal  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  shall  do  this. 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  the  king  of 
*As-syr'i-a,  He  shall  not  come 
into  ^"this  city,  nor  shoot  an  ^ar- 
row there,  nor  come  before  it 
with  ^shield,  nor  cast  a  bank 
against  it. 

33  By  the  way  that  he  came,  by 
the  same  shall  he  return,  and 
shall  not  come  into  *this  city, 
saith  the  Lord. 

34  For   ^I    will    defend   "this

Hezekiah.  in  answer  to  prayer,  has  Ms  life 
lengthened.  8  The  sun  goes  ten  degrees 
backward  for  a  sign  tn  Mm.  12  The  king 
of  Babylon  sends  to  congratulate  Heze- 
kiah. 14  Isaiah  foretells  the  Babylonian 
captivity.  20  Manasseh  succeeds  Heze- 
kiah. 

IN  those  days  was  '^Hez-e-kl'- 
ah  ''sick  unto  death.  And 
the  '^prophet  ''I-.sa'iah  the  son  of 
^\'m6z  came  to  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
'Set  thine  house  in  order;  for 
thou  shalt  die,  and  not  live. 

2  Then  he  turned  his  face  to 
the  wall,  and  "prayed  unto  the 
Lord,  saying, 

3  ''I  beseech  thee,  O  Lord, 
remember  now  how  T  ^have 
walked  before  thee  in  ^truth  and 
'with  a  perfect  heart,  and  have 
done  that  which  is  good  in  thy 
sight.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  '"wept 
sore. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  afore 
"I-sa'iaii  was  gone  out  into  the 
middle  '"court,  that  ''the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  to  him,  saying, 


5  Turn  again,  and  tell  "Hez-e-

Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Da'vid  thy  father,  ^I  have 
heard  thy  prayer,  I  have  seen 
thy  tears:  behold,  «-T  will  '-'heal 
thee :  on  the  third  day  thou  shalt 
go  up  unto  the  "house  of  the

6  And  I  will  add  unto  thy  days 
fifteen  years;  and  "I  will  deliver 
""thee  and  ^this  city  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  ^As-.syr'i-;i; 
and  "I  will  defend  this  city  for 
mine  own  sake,  and  for  my  serv- 
ant Da'vid's  ^sake. 

7  And  "I-sa'iah  said.  Take  a 
lump  of  ''figs.  And  they  took  and 
laid  it  on  the  ''■''boil,  and  he 
recovered. 

8  Tf  And  ''Hez-e-kl'ah  said  unto 
'^I-.sa'iah,  ''What  shall  be  the  sign 
that  the  Lord  will  heal  me,  and 
that  I  shall  go  up  into  the  "house 
of  the  Lord  the  third  day  ? 

9  And  '^I-sa'iah  said.  This 
''sign  shalt  thou  have  of  the 
Lord,  that  the  Lord  will  do 
the  thing  that  he  hath  spoken: 
shall  the  'shadow  go  forward 
ten  -degrees,  or  go  back  ^ten 
degrees  ? 

10  And  *Hez-e-kl'ah  answered. 
It  is  a  light  thing  for  the  shade w 
to  go  down  ten  \legrees:  nay, 
but  let  the  shadow  return  back- 
ward ten  ^degrees.

there  was  nothing  in  his  house, 
nor  in  all  his  dominion,  that 
Hez-e-kl'ah  shewed  them  not. 

14  \  Then  came  '^I-.sa'iah  the

and  said  unto  him,  What  said 
these  men  ?  and  from  whence

e-ki'ah  said,  They  are  come 
from  a  far  country,  even  from 
"Bab'y-lon. 

15  And  he  said,  What  have  they 
seen  in  thine  house  ?  And  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  answered,  All  the  things 
that  are  in  mine  house  have  they 
seen:  there  is  nothing  among  my 
treasures  that  I  have  not  shewed 
them. 

16  And  °I-sa'iah  ^said  unto 
*Hez-e-kT'ah,  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord. 

17  ^' ^Behold,  the  days  come, 
that  all  that  is  in  thine  house, 
and  that  which  thy  fathers  have 
laid  up  in  store  unto  this  day, 
shall  be  carried  into  "Bab'y-lon: 
nothing  shall  be  left,  saith  the 
Lord. 

18  ^And  of  thy  sons  that  shall 
issue  from  thee,  which  thou  shalt 
beget,  shall  they  take  away;  and 
they  shall  be  "eunuchs  in  the 
''palace  of  the  king  of  '^Bab'y-lon.

*ll/rA-NAS'SEH  was  twelve

to  reign,  and  reigned  fifty  and 
five  years  in  "Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
his  mother's  name  was  Heph'-

2  And  ''he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
after  the  abominations  of  the 
heathen,  whom  the  Lord  cast 
out  before  the  children  of  Ls'-

3  For  he  built  up  again  the 
4iigh  places  which  ''Hez-e-kl'ah 
his  father  had  destroyed;  and  he 
reared  up  altars  for  '^Ba'al,  and

all  the  ''-'host  of  heaven,  and

the  Lord  said.  In  Je-ru'sa-lem 
will  I  put  my  name. 

5  And  he  built  'altars  for  all 
the  '''host  of  heaven  in  the  two

of  Ls'ra-el  move  any  more  out 
of  the  land  which  I  gave  their 
fathers;  only  'if  they  will  ob- 
serve *to  do  accordino;  to  all  that 
I  have  commanded  them,  and 
according  to  all  the  'law  that 
my  servant  jNIo'.se.s  commanded 
them. 

9  But  they  hearkened  not:  and 
*Ma-nas'seh  "■  '^'seduced  them  to 
do  more  evil  than  did  the  na- 
tions whom  the  Lord  destroyed 
before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

10  t  And  the  Lord  "spake 
by  his  servants  the  prophets, 
saying, 

11  Because  *]Ma-nas'seh  king  of 
•^Ju'dah  hath  done  these  abom- 
inations, and  hath  done  wicked- 
ly above  all  that  the^Ain'or-ites 
did,  which  were  before  him,  and 
hath  "■*'made  Ju'dah  also  to  sin 
with  his  idols: 

12  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Ls'ra-el,  Behold, 
^I  am  bringing  such  "evil  upon 
*Je-rii'sa-leni  and  '^Ju'dah,  that 
whosoever  heareth  of  it,  both  his 
ears  shall  tingle. 

13  And  "I  will  .stretch  over 
''Je-rii'sa-lem  the  line  of  'Sa.- 
ma'ri-a,  and  the  plnnimct  of  the 
house  of  /A'hab:  and  I  will  wipe 
Je-rii'sa,-lem  as  a  man  wipeth  a 
dish,  wiping  it,  and  turning  it 
upside  down. 

14  And  ''I  will  forsake  the  rem- 
nant of  mine  inheritance,  and 
"deliver  them  into  the  hand  of 
their  enemies;  and  they  shall  be- 
come a  prey  and  a  spoil  to  all 
their  enemies; 

15  Becau.se  they  have  done  that 
which  was  ''evil  in  my  sight,  and 
have  provoked  me  to  '^^ 'anger, 


forth  out  of  ^E'gypt,  even  unto 
this  day. 

16  Moreover  *•  ^'Ma-nits'seh 
'shed  innocent  blood  very  much, 
till  he  had  filled  Me-rii'sa-lem 
from  one  end  to  another;  beside 
his  '"sin  wherewith  he  made  Ju'- 
dah to  sin,  in  doing  that  which 
ivas  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

17  ^  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
*IMa-nas'seh,  and  all  that  he 
did,  and  his  sin  that  he  sinned, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  "book 
of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
"Ju'dah  ? 

18  And  *Ma-nas'seh  ^slept 
with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried 
in  the  ''gartlen  of  his  own  house, 
in  the  garden  of  Uz'za:  and 
^A'nion  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead. 

19  ^  ^A'mon  was  twenty  and 
two  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  two 
years  in  *Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his 
mother's  name  was  Me-shul'- 
le-meth,  the  daughter  of  Ha'- 
ruz  of  'Jot'bah. 

20  And  *'he  did  tliat  which  tvas 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
'"as  his  father  *Ma-  nas'seh  did. 

21  And  'he  walked  '"in  all  the 
way  that  his  *father  walked  in, 
and  "served  the  idols  that  his  fa- 
ther served,  and  worshipped 
them : 

22  And  "he  forsook  the  Lord 
God  of  his  fathers,  and  '"walked 
not  in  the  way  of  the  Lord. 

23  And  the  ^' Servants  of 
^A'lnon  ^cons[)ired  agiiinst  him,

not  aside  to  the  right  hand  or  to 
the  left. 

3  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
the  eighteenth  year  of  king  "J6- 
sl'ah,  that  the  king  sent  ''Sha'- 
phan  the  son  of  'Az-a-ll'ah,  the 
son  of  Me-shul'lam,  the  'scribe, 
to  the  house  of  the  Lord,  saying, 

4  Go  up  to  *Hil-kT'ah  the  'high 
priest,  that  he  may  sum  the  sil- 
ver which  is  '"brought  into  the 
"house  of  the  Lord,  which  the 
"keepers  of  the  door  have  gath- 
ered of  the  people: 

5  And  let  them  deliver  it  in- 
to the  hand  of  the  doers  of  the 
work,  that  have  the  oversight  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord:  and  let 
them  give  it  to  the  doers  of  the 
work  which  is  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  to  repair  the  breaches  of 
the  house, 

6  Unto  ^carpenters,  and  build- 
ers, and  'masons,  and  to  buy 
timber  and  hewn  ''stone  to  re- 
pair the  hou.se. 


7  Howbeit  there  was  no  reckon- 
ing made  with  them  of  the  'mon- 
ey that  was  delivered  into  their 
hand,  because  they  '-"dealt  faith- 
fully. 

8  Tf  And  ^Hil-ki'ah  the  'high 
priest  said  unto  ''Sha'phan  the 
'scribe,  I  have  found  the  ^book 
of  the  "'law  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord.  And  Hil-kl'ah  gave  the 
book  to  Sha'phan,  and  he  read 
it. 

9  And  ''Sha'phan  the  'scribe 
came  to  the  king,  and  brought 
the  king  word  again,  and  said, 
Thy  servants  have  gathered  the 
*money  that  was  found  in  the 
"house,  and  have  delivered  it  in- 
to the  hand  of  them  that  do  the 
work,  that  have  the  oversight  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

10  x\nd  ''Sha'phan  the  'scribe 
shewed  the  king,  saying,  *HTl- 
ki'ah  the  'priest  hath  delivered 
me  a  ''book.  And  Sha'phan  read 
it  before  the  king. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
tne  king  had  heard  the  ^words 
of  the  book  of  the  law,  that  he 
^■^•"rent  his  clothes. 

12  And  the  king  command- 
ed ''Hil-kl'ah  the  'Spriest,  and 
*A-hl'kam  the  son  of  ''Sha'- 
phan, and  ^Ach'bor  the  son 
of  'jNII-cha'iah,  and  "Sha'phan 
the  ''scribe,  and  '^A-sa-hi'ah 
a  servant  of  the  king's,  say- 
ing, 

13  Go  ye,  'enquire  of  the  Lord 
for  me,  and  for  the  people,  and 
for  all  *Ju'dah,  concerning  the 
'words  of  this  "'book  that  is 
found :  for  great  is  the  "wrath  of 
the  Lord  that  is  kindled  against 
us,  because  our  fathers  have  not 
hearkened  unto  the  words  of 
this  book,  to  do  according  unto 
all  that  which  is  written  con- 
cerning us.

God  proclaimed,  who  proclaim- 
ed these  words. 

17  Then  he  said,  What  ''title  is 
that  that  I  see  ?  And  the  men  of 
the  city  told  him,  It  is  the  "sep- 
ulchre of  the  ''man  of  God, 
which  came  from  '^Ju'dali,  and 
•^proclaimed  these  things  that 
thou  hast  done  against  the  'altar 
of  ''Beth'-el. 

18  And  he  said,  Let  him  alone; 
let  no  man  move  his  bones.  So 
they  let  his  bones  alone,  with  the 
bones  of  the  prophet  that  came 
out  of  ''Sa-ma'ri-a. 

19  And  all  the  houses  also  of 
the  ^high  places  that  were  in  the 
cities  of  ''Sri-ma'ri-a,  which  the 
kings  of  Ls'ra-el  had  made  to 
provoke  the  Loud  to  ''^'anger, 
'J6-si'ah  took  away,  and  did  to 
them  according  to  all  the  acts 
that  he  had  done  in  ^Beth'  -el. 

20  And  "'he  slew  all  the  priests 
of  the  4iigh  places,  that  were 
there  upon  the  ''altars,  and 
*burned  men's  bones  upon  them, 
and  returned  to  "Je-ru'sa-lem. 

21  ^  And  the  'king  commanded 
all  the  people,  saving.  Keep  the 
"passover  unto  the  Lord  your 
God,  as  it  is  written  in  the  ^book 
of  this  'covenant. 

22  Surely  there  was  not  holden 
such  a  "passover  from  the  days 
of  the  '■judges  that  judged  'Ls'- 
ra-el, nor  in  all  the  days  of  the 
kings  of  Ls'ra-el,  nor  of  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah; 

23  But  in  the  eighteenth  year 
of  king  Mo-si'ah,  wherein  this 
"passover  was  holden  to  the 
Lord  in  '* Je-ru'sa-lem. 

24  ^  Moreover  the  workers  with 
'familiar  spirits,  and  the  "wiz- 
ards, and  the  ^'"images,  and  the 
idols,  and  all  the  abominations 
that  were  spied  in  the  land  of 
*  Ju'dah   and    in    "Je-ru'.sa-lem, 


did  'J6-sI'ah  "'put  away,  that  he 
might  perform  the  words  of  the 
'law  which  were  written  in  the 
Pbook  that  ^Hil-ld'ah  the  ^'priest 
found  in  the  *house  of  the 
Lord. 

25  And  like  unto  "him  was 
there  no  king  before  him,  that 
turned  to  the  Lord  with  all  his 
heart,  and  with  all  his  soul,  and 
with  all  his  might,  according  to 
all  the  ''law  of  Mo'.scs;  neither 
after  him  arose  there  any  like 
him. 

26  Notwithstanding  the  I.,ord 
turned  not  from  the  fierceness  of 
his  great  '^' ''wrath,  wherewith  his 
anger  was  kindled  against  *Jii'- 
dah,  l)ecause  of  all  the  'provoca- 
tions that  "Mtt-nas'seh  had  pro- 
voked him  withal. 

27  And  the  Lord  said,  I  will 
''remove  ^Ju'dah  also  out  of  my 
sight,  as  I  have  removed  Is'ra-el, 
and  will  cast  oflf  this  city  ^Je-ru'- 
sa-lem  which  I  have  chosen,  and 
the  ^'house  of  which  I  said.  My 
name  shall  be  there. 

28  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
'Jo-sl'ah,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  '"book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
^Ju'dah  ? 

29  In  his  days  -^Pha'raoh-ne'- 
choh  king  of  "E'gypt  went  up 
against  the  king  of  "As-syr'i-a  to 
the  river  ^Eu-phra'tes:  and  king 
'Jo-sl'ah  went  against  him;  and 
he  slew  him  at  'Me-gid'do,  when 
he  had  seen  him. 

30  And  his  servants  carried  him 
in  a  ''chariot  dead  from  ''Me-gid'- 
do,  and  brought  him  to 'Je-rii'stV 
lem,  and  buried  him  in  his  own 
'sepulchre.  And  the  ^people  of 
the  land  took  "Je-ho'a-h:iz  the 
son  of  'Jo-sI'ah,  and  'anointed 
him,  and  made  him  king  in  his 
father's  stead.

Jehoiachin  succeeds  him.  8  His  evil 
reign.  10  Jerusalem  is  taken,  and  the 
chief  of  the  people  carried  away  captive 
into  Babylon.  17  Zedekiah  is  made  king 
in  Jerusalem.      19  His  wicked  reign. 


IN  his  days  °Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar  king  of  *Bab'y-lon  came 
up,  and  '^Je-hoi'a-kim  became 
his  servant  three  years:  then  he 
turned  and  rebelled  against  him. 

2  And  the  '^Lord  ''sent  against 
him  bands  of  the  'Chal'dees, 
and  bands  of  the  "Syr'i-an.s,  and 
bands  of  the  ''Mo'ab-ites,  and 
bands  of  the  children  of  Am' 
mon,  and  sent  them  against 
'  Ju'dah  to  destroy  it,  according 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  *spake  by  his  servants  the 
prophets. 

3  Surely  at  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  ''•'came  this  upon 
'Ju'dah,  to  remove  them  out  of 
his  sight,  for  the  sins  of  '"Ma-nas'- 
seh,  according  to  all  that  he  did ; 

4  And  also  for  the  innocent 
"blood  that  he  shed :  for  he  filled 
"J  e-r  u's  a-1  e  m  with  innocent 
blood;  ^which  the  Lord  would 
not  pardon.

did,  are  they  not  written  in  the

6  So  ^Je-hoi'a-kim  slept  with

7  And  the  ''king  of  "E'gypt 
came  not  again  any  more  out 
of  his  land:  for  the  "king  of 
*Bab'y-lon  had  taken  from  the

"Eu-phra'te.s  all  that  pertained 
to  the  king  of  E'gypt.

18  Tf  ''Zetl-e-kl'ah  was  twenty 
and  one  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  eleven 
years  in  ''Je-ni'sfi-lem.  And  his 
mother's  name  was  ^Ha-infi'tal, 
the  daughter  of  *Jer-e-mi'ah  of 
^Lib'nah. 

19  And  *'''he  did  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  according  to  all  that  'Je~ 
hoi'a-kim  had  done. 

20  For  through  the  '"•"anger  of 
the  Lord  it  came  to  pass  in  ^Je- 
rii'sfi-lem  and  "Ju'dah,  until  he 
had  cast  them  out  from  his  pres- 
ence, that  ''Zed-e-kl'ah  rebelled 
against  the  ^king  of  '^B3,b'y-lon. 

CHAPTER  25 

Jerusalem  is  besieged  by  Nebuchadnezzar. 
4  Zedehiali  is  taken,  his  sons  slain,  and 
his  eyes  put  out.  8  Nebuzar-adan  de- 
stroys the  city,  carries  awaii  all  the  people, 
except  the  poor  of  the  land.  Into  captivity: 
IS  and  takes  away  the  treasures.  18  The 
nobles  are  slain  at  lilblah.  22  Gedaliah 
is  set  over  the  land.  25  He  is  slain,  and 
the  people  flee  into  Kgypt.  27  Evil- 
merodach  advances  Jehoiachin  in  his 
court. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in 
the  tenth  "month,  in  the  tenth 
daij  of  the  month,  that  ''Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  king  of  '^BS.b'y- 
lon  came,  he,  and  all  his  host, 
against  ''Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  pitch- 
ed against  it;  and  they  built 
''forts  against  it  round  about. 

2  And  the  ''city  was  'besieged 
unto  the  eleventh  year  of  king

3  And  on  the  ninth  day  of  the 
fourth  "month  the  ''famine  pre- 
vailed in  the  city,  and  there  was 
no  bread  for  the  people  of  the 
land. 

4  And  the  ''city  was  broken  up, 
and  all  the  men  of  war  fled  by 
night  by  the  way  of  the  gate 
between  two  ''walls,  which  is 
by  the  king's  garden:  (now  the 
'Chal'dees  were  against  the  city 
round  about:)  and  the  king  went 
the  way  toward  the  plain. 

5  And  the  army  of  the  *Chai'- 
dee§  pursued  after  the  "''king, 
and  overtook  him  in  the  plains 
of  'Jer'i-cho:  and  all  his  army 
were  scattered  from  him. 

6  So  they  took  the  """king,  and 
brought  him  up  to  the  ''king  of 
•^Bab'y-lon  to  ^Rib'lah ;  and  they 
gave  judgment  upon  him. 

7  And  they  'slew  the  sons  of 
■""Zed-e-krah  before  his  eyes,  and 
'"'"put  out  the  eyes  of  Zed-e- 
ki'ah,  and  bound  him  with  "fet- 
ters of  ^brass,  and  carried  him 
to  ''Bab'y-lon. 

8  Tl  And  ill  the  fifth  "month,  on 
the  seventh  day  of  the  month, 
which  is  the  nineteenth  year  of 
king  *Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king 
of  '^Ba.b'y-lon,  came  ^Neb'u-zar- 
a'dan,  ''captain  of  the  guard,  a 
servant  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon, 
unto  Je-rii'sa-lSm : 

9  And  he  "burnt  the  '•''house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  king's  ""house, 
and  all  the  houses  of  ''Je-ru'- 
sa-Jem,  and  every  great  man's 
house  burnt  he  with  fire. 

10  And  all  the  army  of  the 
*ChS,l'dees,  that  were  with  the 
^captain  of  the  guard,  brake 
down  the  ''walls  of  ''Je-ru'sa-lem 
round  about. 

11  ""Now  the  rest  of  the  peo- 
ple that  were  left  in  the  city,  and 
the  fugitives  that  fell  away  to 
the  "king  of  '^BSb^-lon,  with  the 


remnant  of  the  multitude,  did 
^Neb'u-zar-a'dan  the  "^ captain  of 
the  guard  ^carry  away. 

12  But  the  ^-'captain  of  the 
guard  left  of  the  poor  of  the 
^land  to  be  vinedressers  and 
husbandmen. 

13  And  the  ^pillars  of  "brass  that 
were  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  bases,  and  the  brasen 
''sea  that  was  in  the  "^house  of 
the  Lord,  did  the  ''Chal'dee.s 
break  in  pieces,  and  carried  the 
brass  of  them  to  *B3,b'y-lon. 

14  And  the  pots,  and  the  'shov- 
els, and  the  ''snuffers,  and  the 
''spoons,  and  all  the  vessels  of 
"brass  wherewith  they  minis- 
tered, took  they  away. 

15  And  the  'firepans,  and  the 
^bowls,  and  such  things  as  were 
of  '^gold,  in  gold,  and  of  'silver, 
in  silver,  the  ^'"captain  of  the 
guard  took  away. 

16  The  two  "pillars,  one  "sea, 
and  the  bases  which  Sol'o-mon 
had  made  for  the  '^house  of  the 
Lord;  the  "brass  of  all  these 
vessels  was  without  weight. 

17  The  height  of  the  one  "pillar 
was  eighteen  "cubits,  and  the 
^chapiter  upon  it  was  "brass: 
and  the  height  of  the  chapiter 
three  cubits;  and  the  wreathen 
work,  and  ^pomegranates  upon 
the  chapiters  round  about,  all  of 
brass:  and  like  unto  these  had 
the  second  pillar  with  wreathen 
work. 

18  If  And  the  ^•'"captain  of  the 
guard  took  ''Ser-a-i'ah  the  chief 
*priest,  and  'Zfeph-a-nl'ah  the 
second  priest,  and  the  three 
"keepers  of  the  door: 

19  And  out  of  the  city  he  took 
an  officer  that  was  set  over  the 
men  of  war,  and  five  men  of 
them  that  were  in  the  king's 
presence,  which  were  found  in 
the  city,  and  the  principal  "scribe

of  ^Bab'y-lon  had  left,  even  over

of  the  'armies,  they  and  their

the  son  of  •'"Mi'cah,  the  son  of 
''Zich'rl,  the  son  of  A'saph; 

16  And  0-ba-dl'ah  the  son 
of  ^'Shem-a-I'ah,  the  son  of  'Ga'-

Ber-e-chl'ah  the  son  of  A's;i,  the 
son  of  El'ka-nah,  that  dwelt  in 
the  villages  of  the  Ne-toph'a- 
thltes, 

17  And  the  '^porters  were,  Shril'- 
lum,  and  ^'Ak'kfib,  and  ^TaV- 
inon,  and  A-hi'man,  and  their 
brethren:  Shal'luin  was  the 
chief; 

18  Who  hitherto  waited  in  the 
"king's  gate  eastward :  they  were 
"^porters  in  the  companies  of  the 
''children  of  Le'vT. 

19  And  Shal'luin  the  son  of 
^Ko'rg,  the  son  of  '^E-bl'a-saph, 
the  son  of  '^Ko'rah,  and  his 
brethren,  of  the  house  of  his  fa- 


ther, the  Ko'rah-Ites,  were  over ! 
the  work  of  the  service,  "keepers 
of  the  gates  of  the  ^tabernacle: 
and  their  fathers,  bevig  over  the 
host  of  the  Lord,  were  keepers 
of  the  entry. 

20  And  ^'"Phin'e-has  the  son 
of  'E-le-a'zar  was  the  ruler 
over  ^them  in  time  past,  aiid 
the  Lord  was  with  him. 

21  A7id  '"Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of 
■^jMe-shel-e-mi'ah  was  ''porter  of 
the  door  of  the  *tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

22  All  these  which  were  cho- 
sen to  be  "porters  in  the  gates 
were  two  hundred  and  twelve. 
These  were  reckoned  by  their 
^genealogy  in  their  villages, 
whom  ^Da'vid  and  "Sam'u-el 
the  ''seer  did  ordain  in  their 
set  office. 

23  So  they  and  their  children 
had  the  oversight  of  the  gates  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  namely, 
the  house  of  the  tabernacle,  by 
wards. 

24  In  four  quarters  were  the 
'■porters,  toward  the  east,  west, 
north,  and  south. 

25  And  their  brethren,  which 
ivere  in  their  villages,  were  to 
come  after  seven  days  from  time 
to  time  with  them. 

20  For  these  ''I^e'vltes,  the  four 
chief  '^porters,  were  in  their  set 
office,  and  were  over  the  ^cham- 
bers  and  treasuries  of  the  hous(» 
of  God. 

27  And  they  lodged  round 
about  the  house  of  God,  because 
the  charge  was  upon  them,  and 
the  opening  thereof  every  morn-

saw  that  ''Saul  was  dead,  ^he  fell 
likewise  on  the  sword,  and  died.

7  And  when  all  the  men  of 
''Ls'ra-el  that  were,  in  the  valley 
saw  that  they  fled,  and  that  Saul 
and  his  sons  were  dead,  then 
they  forsook  their  cities,  and

and  dwelt  In  them. 

8  T[  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  when  the  Thi-lis'tine.s 
came  to  strip  the  slain,  that  they 
found  ''Saul  and  his  sons  fallen 
in  mount  '^Gil-bo'a. 

9  x\nd  when  they  had  stripped 
him,  they  took  his  head,  and  his

the  Phi-lis'ttne.s  round  about,  to 
carry  tidings  unto  their  'idols,

10  And  they  put  his  'armour  in

of  "Saul,  and  the  bodies  of  his

David  is  made  king  at  Hebron.  4  He  takes 
the  castle  at  Zlon  from  the  Jcbusiles.  10 
.4  catalogue  of  David's  mighty  men. 

THEN  all  "Ls'ra-el  gathered 
themselves  to  ''Da'vid  un- 
to "^He'bron,  saying,  Behold,  we 
are  thy  bone  and  thy  flesh. 

2  And  moreover  in  time  past, 
even  when  ''Saul  was  king,  thou 
ivast  he  that  ledtlest  out  and 
broughtest  in  l.s'ra-el:  and  the 
Lord  thy  God  said  unto  thee, 
Thou  shalt  feed  my  people  !§'- 
ra-el,  and  thou  shalt  be  ruler 
over  my  people  I.s'ra-el. 

3  Therefore  came  all  the  ''eld- 
ers of  Ig'ra-el  to  the  king  to  '^He'- 
bron;  and  "Da'vid  ''made  a 
^covenant  with  them  in  He'bron 
before  the  Lord;  and  they 
"anointed  Da'vid  'king  over  "Is'- 
ra-el,  according  to  the  'word  of 
the  Lord  oy  '^Sam'u-el. 

4  *\  And  "ba'vid  and  all  '^I.s'- 
ra-el  went  to  'Je-ri.i's?i-lein, 
which  is  Je'bus;  where  the 
'"Jeb'u-sites  were,  the  inhabit- 
ants  of  the  land. 

5  And  the  inhabitants  of  'Je'- 
bus  said  to  "Da'vid,  Thou  shalt 
not  come  hither.  Nevertheless 
Da'vid  took  the  ^castle  of  "Zi'on, 
which  is  the  city  of  Da'vid. 

G  And  "Da'vid  said,  "Whoso- 
ever smiteth  the  '"Jeb'u-sites 
first  shall  be  chief  and  ''captain. 
So  *Jo'ab  the  son  of  '^Zer-u-I'ah 
went  first  u]i,  and  ^was  chief. 

7  And  "Da'vid  dwelt  in  the 
'castle;  therefore  they  called  it 
the  '-'city  of  Da'vid. 

8  And  he  built  the  'city  round 
about,  even  from  ."Mil'lo  round 
about:  and  ^Jo'ab  repaired  the 
rest  of  the  city. 

9  So  ''Da'vid  waxed  greater  and 
grenter:  for  the  T.,ord  of  hosts 
^'inas  with   him. 

10  Tf  These  also  are  the  chief  of 
the  mighty  men  whom  ''Da'vid 
had,  who  strengthencfl  them- 
selves with  him  in  his  kingdom,

and  with  all  Is'ra-el,  to  make 
him  king,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord  concerning  Is'ra-eL 

11  And  thi-s  is  the  number  of 
the  mighty  men  whom  Da'vid 
had;  '"Ja-sho'be-am,  -an  Hach'- 
mo-nite,  the  chief  of  the  ^' ^cap- 
tains: he  lifted  up  his  ^spear 
against  three  hundred  slain  by 
him  at  one  time. 

12  And  after  him  ivas  ^E-le-a'- 
zar  the  son  of  ^Do'do,  the  A-ho'- 
hlte,  who  loas  one  of  the  three 
might  ies. 

13  He  was  with  "Da'vid  at 
*Pas-dam'mim,  and  there  the 
''Phi-lis'tine.s  were  gathered  to- 
gether to  battle,  where  was  a 
parcel  of  ground  full  of  '^barley; 
and  the  jicople  fled  from  before 
the  Phi-lis'tincs. 

14  And  they  set  themselves  in 
the  midst  of  that  parcel,  and 
delivered  it,  and  slew  the  '^Phi- 
iTs'-tine.s;  and  the  Lord  *saved 
them  by  a  great  deliverance. 

15  Now  three  of  the  thirty  'cap- 
tains went  down  to  the  rock  to 
"Da'vid,  into  the  «'cave  of  "X- 
diil'lam;  and  the  host  of  the 
^Phi-lis'tines  encamped  in  the 
valley  of  *Reph'a-im. 

16  And  "Da'vid  was  then  in 
the  ^hold,  and  the  '^Phi-lTs'tines' 
^garrison  was  then  at  ^Beth'-le- 
hem. 

17  And  "Da'vid  longed,  and 
said,  Oh  that  one  would  give 
me  drink  of  the  water  of  the 
well  of  'Beth'-le-hem,  that  is  at 
the  gate! 

18  And  the  Hhree  ^brake 
through  the  host  of  the  '^Phi- 
lis'tines,  and  drew  water  out  of 
the  well  of  'Beth'-le-hem,  that 
uns  by  the  gate,  and  took  it,  and 
'"brought  it  to  Da'vid:  but  Da'- 
vid  would  not  drink  of  it,  but 
"poured  it  out  to  the  I.<ord, 

19  And  said,  My  God  forbid  it 


me,  that  I  should  do  this  thing: 
shall  I  drink  the  blood  of  these 
men  that  have  put  their  lives  in 
jeopardy  ?  for  with  the  jeopardy 
of  their  lives  they  brought  it. 
Therefore  he  would  not  drink  it. 
These  things  did  these  three 
mightiest. 

20  And  "A-bish'a-I  the  brother 
of  ^Jo'ab,  he  was  chief  of  the 
three:  for  lifting  up  his '''spear 
against  three  hundred,  he  slew 
them,  and  had  a  name  among 
the   three. 

21  Of  the  three,  he  was  more 
honourable  than  the  two;  for 
^he  was  Hheir  ^captain:  howbeit 
he  attained  not  to  the  first 
three. 

22  '"'Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Me- 
hoi'a-da,  the  son  of  a  valiant 
man  of  "Kab'ze-el,  who  had 
done  many  acts;  he  slew  ^two 
lionlike  ''men  of  Mo'ab:  also  he 
went  down  and  slew  a  '"lion  in  a 
pit  in  a  snowy  day. 

23  And  he  slew  an  ^E-gyp'tian, 
a  man  of  great  stature,  five  ^cu- 
bits high;  and  in  the  E-gvp'- 
tian's  hand  was  a  ^spear  like  a 
^weaver's  beam;  and  he  went 
down  to  him  Avith  a  staff,  and 
plucked  the  spear  out  of  the 
E-gyp'tian's  hand,  and  slew  him 
with  his  own  spear. 

24  These  things  did  *Be-na'- 
iah  the  son  of  'Je-hoi'a-da,  and 
had  the  name  among  the  three 
mighties. 

25  Behold,  he  was  honourable 
among  the  thirty,  but  attained 
not  to  the  first  three:  and  Da'vid 
set  him  over  his  guard. 

26  Also  the  valiant  men  of  the 
armies  %vere,  *A'sa-hel  the  broth-

14  These  were  of  the  ^sons  of 
Gad,  "captains  of  the  ^host :  one 
of  the  least  was  ^over  an  hun- 
dred, and  the  greatest  ^over  a 
thousand. 

15  These  are  they  that  went 
over  *J6r'dan  in  the  ''first 
^nionth,  when  it  had  overflown 
all  his  banks;  and  they  put  to 
flight  all  them  of  the  valleys,  both 
toward  the  east,  and  toward  the 
west. 

16  And  there  came  of  the  chil- 
dren of  ^Ben'ja-nnn  and  Mu'dah 
to  the  hold  unto  Da'vid. 

17  And  "Da'vid  went  out  to 
meet  them,  and  answered  and 
said  unto  them.  If  ye  be  come 
peaceably  unto  me  to  help  me, 
mine  heart  shall  be  knit  unto 
you:  but  if  ye  he  come  to  betray 
me  to  mine  enemies,  seeing  there 
is  no  wrong  in  mine  hands,  the 
God  of  our  fathers  look  thereon, 
and  rebuke  it. 

18  Then  the  spirit  came  upon 
A-mas'a-I,  who  was  chief  of  the 
^captains,  and  he  said,  Thine  are 
we,  "Da'vid,  and  on  thy  side, 
thou  son  of  "  Jes'se:  peace,  peace 
he  unto  thee,  and  peace  be  to 
thine  helpers;  for  thy  God  help- 
eth  thee.  Then  Da'vid  received 
them,  and  made  them  captains 
of  the  band. 

19  And  there  fell  some  of 
"Ma-Ucxs'seh  to  "Da'vid,  when 
he  came  with  the  "Thi-lfs'tine.s 
against  ''Saul  to  battle:  but  they 
helped  them  not:  for  the  lords 
of  the  PhT-lis'tine.:^  upon  advise- 
ment sent  him  away,  saying,  He 

64 


will  fall  to  his  master  Saul  to  the 
jeopardy  of  our  heads. 

20  As  he  went  to  ''Zik'lag,  there 
fell  to  him  of  ''Ma-nas'seh,  Ad'- 
nah,  and  Joz'a-bad,  and  Je-dl'a- 
el,  and  iNIi'chacl,  and  J6z'a-bS,d, 
and  P]-lI'hu,  and  Zil'thai,  "cap- 
tains of  the  thousands  that  were 
of  Ma-nas'seh. 

21  And  they  helped  "Da'vid 
against  the  band  of  the  rovers: 
for  they  ivere  all  mighty  men  of 
valour,  and  were  "captains  in  the 
^'host. 

22  For  at  that  time  day  by  day 
there  came  to  Da'vid  to  help 
him,  until  it  %vas  a  great  host, 
like  the  host  of  God. 

23  ^  And  these  are  the  numbers 
of  the  ^bands  that  were  ready 
armed  to  the  war,  ami  came  to 
"Da'vid  to  ^He'bron,  to  turn  the 
kingdom  of  Saul  to  him,  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

24  The  children  of  ^  Ju'dah  that 
bale  ^shield  and  ^spear  were  six 
thousand  and  eight  hundred, 
ready  armed  to  the  war. 

25  Of  the  children  of  "Sim'e-on, 
mighty  men  of  valour  for  the 
war,  seven  thousand  and  one 
hundred. 

26  Of  the  ^children  of  Le'vl 
four  thousand  and  six  hundred.

CHAPTER  13 

David  fetches  the  ark  with  great  solriiinit!/ 
from  Kirjath-jearlm.  9  l'z:a  hcliiij 
smitten,  the  ark  Is  left  at  the  house  of 
Obcd-cdom. 

AND^'Da'vid  "•'^consulted  with 
the  '^captains  of  thousands 
and  hundreds,  ami  with  every 
leader. 

2  And  "Da'vid  said  unto  all  the 
congregation  of  '^Is'ra-el,  If  tt 
.teem  good  unto  you,  and  that  it 
Jje  of  the  Lord  our  God,  let  us 
send  abroad  unto  our  brethren 
every  where,  tJiat  are  left  in  all 
the  land  of  Is'ra-el.  and  with 
them  also  to  the  -'priests  and 
''Le'vltes  which  are  in  their  cities 
and  suburbs,  that  they  may 
gather  themselves  unto  us: 

3  And  let  us  bring  again  the 
''ark  of  our  God  to  us :  for  we  en- 
quired not  at  it  in  the  days  of 
'Saul. 

4  And  all  the  congregation  said 
that  they  would  do  so:  for  the 
thing  was  right  in  the  eyes  of  all 
the  people. 

5  So  '^Da'vid  gathered  all  ^Is'- 
ra-el  together,  from  'Shi'hor  of 
^E'gvpt  even  unto  the  entering 
of  'lie'math,  to  bring  the  "ark  of 
God  from  '"Klr'jath-je'a-rim. 

6  And  ''Da'vid  went  up,  and 
all  I.s'ra-el,  to  Ba'al-ah,  that  is, 
to  '"klr'jath-je'a-rim,  which  be-

thence  the  ''ark  of  God  the 
Lord,  that  Vlwelleth  between 
the  ''cherubims,  whose  name  is 
called  on  it. 

7  And  they  carried  the  ''ark  of

8  And  '^Da'vid  and  all  Is'-

9  T[  And  when  they  came  unto 
the  threshingfloor  of  '^Chi'don, 
''Uz'za  put  forth  his  hand  to  hold 
the  '^ark;  for  the  oxen  stum- 
bled. 

10  And  the  ''anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  ''Uz'za,  and 
he  ^smote  him,  because  he  put 
his  hand  to  the  ^ark:  and  there 
he  died  before  God. 

1 1  And  ''Da'vid  was  displeased, 
because  the  IvORD  had  made  a 
breach  upon  ''Uz'za:  wherefore 
that  place  is  called  ''Pe'rez-iiz'za 
to  this  day. 

12  And  Da'vid  was  afraid  of 
God  that  day,  saying.  How  shall 
I  bring  the  ''ark  of  God  home  to 
me  ? 

13  So  Da'vid  l^rought  not  the 
ark  home  to  himself  to  the  ^city 
of  Da'vid,  but  carried  it  aside 
into  the  house  of  *0'bed-e'dom 
the  'Git'tlte. 

14  And  the  "ark  of  God  re- 
mained with  the  ^family  of 
'O'bed-eMom  in  his  house  three 
months.  And  the  Lord  blessed 
the  house  of  ( J'bed-e'dom,  and 
all  that  he  had.

^OW  '^Hl'ram  king  of  "Tyre 
^  sent  messengers  to  "Da'- 
vid, and  timber  of  '^cedars,  with 
'^masons  and  -'carpenters,  to 
build  him  an  house. 
2  And  "Da'vid  perceived  that 
the  ^LoRD  had  confirmed  him 
''king  over  *I.s'ra-el,  for  his  king- 


dom was  lifted  up  on  high,  be- 
cause of  his  people  Ls'ra-el. 

3  T[  And  "Da'vid  Hook  more 
wives  at  '^'Je-ru'sa-lem:  and 
Da'vid  begat  more  sons  and 
daughters. 

4  Now  these  are  the  names  of 
his  children  which  he  had  in 
^'Je-ru'sa-lem;  'Sham-mu'a,  and

8  II  And  when  the  "Phi-lis'- 
tine.s  heard  that  "Da'vid  was 
'"anointed  king  over  all  Ts'ra-el, 
all  the  Phi-lis'tine.s  went  up  to 
seek  Da'vid.  And  Da'vid  heard 
o]  it,  and  went  out  against 
them. 

9  And  the  ^'Phi-lTs'tines  came 
and  ^spread  themselves  in  the 
valley  of  ^Reph'a-im. 

10  And  "Da'vid  ^' ^enquired  of 
God,  saying,  Shall  I  go  up 
against  the  *'Phi-lis'tine.s  ?  And 
wilt  thou  deliver  them  into  mine 
hand  ?  And  ''the  Lord  said  un- 
to him.  Go  up;  for  *I  will  "de- 
liver them  into  thine  hand. 

11  So  they  came  up  to  ^'Ba'al-

them  there.  Then  Da'vid  said,

commandment,  and   they  were 
'burned  with  fire. 

18  And  the  ^Thi-li.s'tine.^  yet 
again  ^spread  themselves  abroad 
in  the  ''valley. 

14  Therefore  ^Da'vid'' 'enquired 
again  of  God;  and  God  "said 
unto  him,  Go  not  up  after  thein ; 
turn  away  from  them,  and  come 
upon  them  over  against  the 
^mulberry  trees. 

15  And  it  shall  be,  when  thou 
shalt  heara  sound  of  Agoing  in  the 
tops  of  the  '"^mulberry  trees,  that 
then  thou  shalt  go  out  to  battle: 
for  ''God  is  gone  forth  before 
thee  to  ^smite  the  ho.st  of  the 
^Thi-lis'tine.s. 

16  ^Da'vid  therefore  did  as  God 
commanded  him :  and  they  smote 
the  host  of  the  ^PhT-lis'-tine.s  from 
'Gilj'e-on  even  to  '"Ga'zer. 

17  And  the  fame  of  '^Da'vid 
went  out  into  all  lands;  and  the 
Lord  ])rought  the  "fear  of  him 
u])on  all  nations. 

CHAPTER  15 

David,  having  prepared  a  place  ^or  the  ark, 
3  assembles  the  people  to  bring  it  from  the 
house  of  Obed-edorn.  11  lie  orders  the 
priests  and  Levltcs  to  bear  the  ark.  25 
David  and  his  chief  men  unite  in  the 
solemnitii  with  great  joy.  29  Michal  de- 
spises Mm. 

AND  ''Da'vid  made  him 
houses  in  the ''city  of  Da'vid, 
and  prepared  a  place  for  the  '^ark 
of  (yod,  and  pitched  for  :t  a  ''tent. 

2  Then  "Da'vid  said,  None 
ought  to  carry  the  '^ark  of  (rod 
but  the  '^Le'vTtes:  for  them  hath 
the  TyORD  chosen  to  carry  the 
ark  of  (iod,  and  to  minister 
unto  him  for  ever. 

3  And  Da'vid  gatheird  all  'I.s'- 
ra-el  together  to  ''Jo-ru'sa-lein, 
to  bring  up  the  '^ark  of  the  Loud 
unto  his  place,  which  he  had 
prepared  for  it. 

4  And  Dri'vid  a.sscmbled  tiie 
'children    of    Aar'on,    and    the 

1  ^Le'vTtes : 


5  Of  the  ''sons  of  Ko'hath; 
U'ri-el  the  chief,  and  his  breth- 
ren an  hmidred  and  twenty: 

6  Of  the  'sons  of  Me-ra'rl;  ^\- 
sa-i'ah  the  chief,  and  his  breth- 
ren two  hundred  and  twenty: 

7  Of  the  ^sons  of  (ier'shom; 
Jo'el  the  chief,  and  his  brethren 
an  hundred  and  thirty: 

8  Of  the  sons  of  'E-liz'a-phan; 
Shem-a-T'ah  the  chief,  and  his 
brethren  two  hundred: 

9  Of  the  sons  of  "TIe'bron; 
E-lI'el  the  chief,  and  his  breth- 
ren fourscore: 

10  Of  the  sons  of  "Uz'zi-el; 
Am-min'a-dab  the  chief,  and  his 
brethren  an  hundred  and  twelve. 

11  And  «I)a'vid  called  for 
"Za'-dok  and.  ''x\-bi'a-thar  the 
''priests,  and  for  the  '^Le'vltes, 
for  U'ri-el,  ^\-sa-i'ah,  and  Jo'el, 
Shem-a-I'ah,  and  E-ll'el,  and 
Am-min'a-djtli, 

12  And  said  inito  them.  Ye  are 
the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  the 
''Le'vltes:  sanctify  yourselves, 
both  ye  and  your  brethren,  that 
ye  may  bring  up  the  '^ark  of  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-ei  uni,o  the 
place  tJtat  I  have  prepared  for  it. 

13  For  because  ye  ^did  it  not 
at  the  first,  the  Lord  our  God 
'■jiiade  a  breach  uj)on  *us,  for 
tliat  we  sought  him  not  idtvv  the 
due  order. 

14  So  the  'prit'sts  and  the  «Le'- 
vites  '  "sanctified  themselves  to 
bring  u))  the  ^ark  of  the  I^ord 
(iod  of  Ls^ra-el. 

15  And  the  children  of  the  '^Le'- 
vltes  bare  the  ''ark  of  God  upon 
their  shoulders  with  the  staves 
thereon,  as  Mo'.se.s  commanded 
according  to  the  ^word  of  the 
Lord. 

16  And  ''Da'vid  spake  to  the 
chief  of  the  Le'vites  to  apjjoint 
their  brethren  to  be  the  *'"'siiig- 
ers  with  instruments  of  ^inusick.

17  So  the  '^Le'vites  appointed 
"He'man  the  son  of  "Jo'el;  and  of 
liis  brethren,  '''A'saph  the  son  of 
''Ber-e-chi'ah ;  and  of  the  ^sons  of 
Me-ra'rl  their  brethren,  ''E'than 
the  son  of  *Kvi-sha'iah ; 

18  And  with  them  their  breth- 
ren of  the  second  degree,  ^Zech-a- 
rl'ah,  Ben,  and  Jfi-a'zi-el,  and 
'She-mir'a-moth,  and  'Je-hl'el,

and  Milc-ne'iah,  and  '"^O'bed-e'- 
doin,  and  ^Je-I'el,  the  'porters. 

19  So  the  *singers,  ''He'man, 
^\'saph  and  ''E'than,  were  ap- 
pointed to  sound  with  "cymbals 
of  brass; 

20  And  ^Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  A'zi-

^Je-hi'el,  and  Un'nl,  and  'E-li'-

and  ^'O'bed-eMom,  and  ^  Je-I'el, 
and  Az-a-zi'ah,  with  "harps  ^on 
the  "Sheni'i-nith  to  'excel. 

22  And  "Chen-a-nl'ah,  chief  of 
the  '^Le'vltes,  was  for  song:  he 
"instructed  about  the  *song,  be- 
cause he  was  skilful. 

23  And  ^Ber-e-chl'ah  and  El'- 
ka-nah  were  'doorkeepers  for  the 
''ark. 

24  And  Sheb-a-nl'ah,  and  Je- 
hosh'a-phat,  and  Ne-thS,n'e-el, 
and  A-m3,s'a-aI,  and  Zech-a-ri'-

the  "trumpets  before  the  ''ark  of 
God:  and  ^O'bed-e'dom  and  Je 


hi'ah  were  'doorkeepers  for  the 
ark. 

25  ^  So  'Da'vid,  and  the  "eld- 
ers of  I.s'ra-el,  and  the  "captains 
over  thousands,  went  to  bring 
up  the  ''ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  out  of  the  house  of 
*0'bed-e'dom  with  joy. 

26  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
God  helped  the  "'Le'vltes  that 
bare  the  ''ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord,  that  they  offered 
seven  ^bullocks  and  seven  rams. 

27  And  ^'^Da'vid  'tvas  clothed 
with  a  robe  of  fine  linen,  and  all 
the  "'Le'vltes  that  bare  the  ''ark, 
and  the  *singers,  and  ^'Chen-a- 
ni'ah  the  master  of  the  song  with 
the  singers:  Da'vid  also  had  up- 
on him  an  ^cphod  of  linen. 

28  Thus  all  Ls'ra-el  brought  up 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  with  "shouting,  and  with 
sound  of  the  cornet,  and  with 
"trumpets,  and  with  '^cymbals, 
making  a  noise  with  ''psalteries 
and  ''harps. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  a^  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
came  to  the  city  of  Da'vid,  that 
'Mi'chal  the  daughter  of  Saul 
looking  out  at  a  window  saw 
king  Da'vid  "dancing  and  play- 
ing: and  she  despised  him  in  her

"Da'vid,  Do  all  that  is  in  thine 
heart;  for  God  is  with  thee.

thou  say  unto  my  servant  "Dti'-

liosts,  'I  took  'thee  from  tlie

and  have  cut  olF  all  thine  ene-

made  thee  a  name  like  the  name

in  their  place,  and  shall  be 
moved  no  more;  neither  shall 
the  children  of  wickedness  waste 
them  any  more,  as  at  the  begin- 
ning, 

10  And  since  the  time  that  I 
commanded  ^judges  to  be  over 
my  people  ''I.s'ra-el.  Moreover 
1  will  'sulxluc  all  thine  enemies. 
Furthermore  I  tell  thee  that  the 
Lord  will  build  thee  an  house. 

11  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
"when  thy  days  be  expired  tliat 
tiiou  must  "go  to  he  with  thy  fa-

shall  be  my  son:  and  I  will  not 
take  my  ^mercy  away  from  him,

14  But  T  will  settle  liiin  in  mine

words,  and  according  to  all  this 
^vision,  so  ditl  "Na'than  speak 
unto  *Da'vid. 

16  If  And  "Da'vid  the  king 
came  and  sat  before  the  Lord, 
and  ^said,  '^Who  am  I,  O  Lord 
God,  and  what  is  mine  house, 
that  thou  hast  brought  me  hith- 
erto ? 

17  And  yet  this  was  a  small 
thing  in  thine  eyes,  O  God;  for 
thou  hast  also  spoken  of  thy 
servant's  house  for  a  great  while 
to  come,  and  hast  regarded  me 
according  to  the  estate  of  a  man 
of  high  degree,  O  Lord  God. 

18  What  can  Da'vid  speak 
more  to  thee  for  the  honour  of 
thy  servant  ?  for  thou  "knowest 
thy  servant. 

19  O  Lord,  for  thy  servant's 
sake,  and  according  to  ''thine 
own  heart,  hast  thou  done  all 
this  greatness,  in  making  known 
all  these  great  things. 

20  O  "Lord,  the7-e  is  none  like 
thee,  neither  is  there  any  God 
beside  thee,  according  to  all  that 
we  have  heartl  with  our  ears. 

21  And  what  one  nation  in  the 
earth  is  like  thy  people  ''Is'ra-el, 
whom  *God  went  to  redeem  to 
be  his  own  people,  to  make  thee

hast  redeemed  out  of  'E'gypt  ?

servants,  and  brought  ''gifts. 

3  H  And  «Da'vid\smote  ^Had- 
iir-e'zer  king  of  ''Zo'bah  unto 
*Ha'math,  as  he  went  to  stab- 
lish  his  dominion  by  the  river 
''Eu-phra'te.s. 

4  And  "Da'vid  took  from  him 
a  thousand  ^chariots,  and  seven 
thousand  diorsemen,  and  twenty 
thousand  footmen:  Dfi'vid  also 
houghed  all  the  chariot  ''■^horses, 
but  reserved  of  them  an  hun- 
dred chariots. 

5  And  when  the  "'Syr'i-an.s  of 
"Da-mas'cus  came  to  help  ^Had- 
ar-e'zer  king  of  ^Zo'bah,  °Da'- 
vid  slew  of  the  Syr'i-an.g  two 
and  twenty  thousand  men. 

6  Then  Da'vid  put  "garrisons 


in  Syr'i-a-da-mas'cus ;  and  the 
Syr'i-an.s  became  Da'vid's  serv- 
ants, and  brought  "gifts.  Thus 
the  Lord  '^preserved  Da'vid 
whithersoever  he  went. 

7  And  "Da'vid  took  the  ''shields 
of  '■gold  that  were  on  the  serv- 
ants of  TIad-ar-e'zer,  and 
brought  them  to  *Je-ru'sa-lem. 

8  Likewise  from  Tib'hath,  and 
from  Chiin,  cities  of  ''Had-iir-e'- 
zer,  brought  Da'vid  very  much 
'brass,  wherewith  "Sol'o-mon 
made  the  brasen  *'sea,  and  the 
'"pillars,  and  the  vessels  of 
brass. 

9  T[  Now  Avhen  ^To'u  king  of 
*Ha'matli  heard  how  Da'vid  had 
smitten  all  the  host  of  ^Had-iir- 
e'zer  king  of  "Zo'bah ; 

10  He  ^sent  ^Ila-do'ram  his  son 
to  king  Da'vid,  to  enquire  of 
his  welfare,  and  to  congratu- 
late him,  because  he  had  fought 
against  Had-ar-e'zer,  and  smit- 
ten him;  (for  Had-iir-e'zer  had 
war  with  To'u;)  and  with  him 
all  manner  of  vessels  of  "gold 
and  ''silver  and  ^brass. 

11  Them  also  king  ''•''Da'vid 
Medicated  unto  the  Lord,  with 
the  ''silver  and  the  "^gold  that  he 
brought  from  all  these  nations; 
from  ^E'dom,  and  from  ''Mo'ab, 
and  from  the  'children  of  Am'- 
mon,  and  from  the  'Phi-lis'tines, 
and  from  ^Am'a-lek. 

12  Moreover  'A-bTsh'a-I  the  son 
of  '"Zer-u-i'ah  slew  of  the  '^V/- 
dom-Ites  in  the  valley  of  "salt 
eighteen  thousand. 

13  And  he  put  ''garrisons  in 
E'dom;  and  all  the  ''E'dom- 
Ites  became  '^Da'vid's  servants. 
Thus  the  '^LoRD  preserved  Da'- 
vid  whithersoever  he  went. 

14  ^  So  '^■'Da'vid  reigned  over 
all  ''I.s'ra-el,  and  executed  judg-

and  the  sons  of  ''Da'vid  were 
chief  about  the  king. 

CHAPTER  19 

David's  messengers,  sent  to  comfort  Ilanun. 
are  sliamefullu  treated.  6  The  Ammon- 
ites, strengthened  hi/  the  Syrians,  are  over- 
come hy  .Joab  and  Abishai.  16  The 
Syrians  are  again  defeated. 

""VTOW  it  came  to  pass  after 
iN  this,  that  "Na'hash  the 
king  of  the  ''children  of  Am'mon 
died,  and  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead. 

2  And  '^Da\id  said,  I  will  shew 
''kindness  mito '^Ha'nun  the  son 
of  ''Na'hash,  because  his  father 
shewed  kindness  to  me.  And 
Da'vid  sent  messengers  to  com- 
fort him  concerning  his  father. 
So  the  servants  of  Dfi'vid  came 
into  the  land  of  the  '"children  of 
Am'mon  to  Ha'nun,  to  comfort 
him. 

3  But  the  princes  of  the  '"chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  "said  to  ''Ha'- 
nun,  Thinkest  thou  that  "Da'vid 
(loth  honour  thy  father,  that  he 
hath  sent  comforters  unto  thee  ? 
''•'are  not  his  servants  come  unto 
thee  for  to  search,  and  to  over- 
throw, and  to  .spy  out  the  land  ? 

4  Wherefore  ''•^Ha'nun  took 
Da'vid's  servants,  and  ^'^shaved 
(hem,  and  cut  off  their  garments 
in  the  midst  hard  by  their  but- 
tocks, and  sent  them  away. 

5  Then  there  went  certain,  and 
told  ''Da'vid  how  the  men  were 


served.  And  he  sent  to  meet 
them:  for  the  men  were  greatly 
ashamed.  And  the  king  said, 
Tarry  at  '"Jer'i-cho  until  your 
beards  be  grown,  and  then  re- 
turn. 

6  T[  And  when  the  '^children 
of  Am'mon  .saw  that  they  had 
made  themselves  odious  to  ''Da'- 
vid, ''Ha'ntin  and  the  children  of 
Am'mon  sent  a  thousand  "tal- 
ents of  "silver  to  ^hire  them 
"chariots  and  ''horsemen  out  of 
*]Mes-o-p6-ta'mi-a,  and  out  of 
'Syr'i-a-ma'a-chah,  and  out 
of  "Zo'bah. 

7  So  they  ^hired  thirty  and  two 
thousand  ^chariots,  and  the  king 
of  ''INIa'a-chah  and  his  people; 
who  came  and  pitched  before 
'"Med'e-ba.  And  the  "children 
of  Am'mon  gathered  themselves 
together  from  their  cities,  and 
came  to  battle. 

8  And  when  ''Da'vid  heard  of 
it,  he  sent  ^Jo'ab,  and  all  the 
host  of  the  mighty  men. 

9  And  the  '^children  of  Am'm6n 
came  out,  and  put  the  battle  in 
array  before  the  gate  of  the  city: 
and  the  kings  that  were  come 
tvere  by  themselves  in  the  field. 

10  Now  when  ^Jo'ilb  saw  that 
the  battle  was  set  against  him 
before  and  behind,  he  cho.se  out 
of  all  the  choice  t)f  "T.s'ra-el,  and 
put  them  in  arrsiy  against  the 
'Syr'i-ans. 

11  And  the  rest  of  the  people 
^he  delivered  unto  the  hands  of 
^A-bTsh'a-I  his  brother,  and  they 
set  themselves  in  array  against 
the  children  of  Am'mon. 

12  And  *he  said.  If  the  Syr'i- 
an.s  be  too  .strong  for  me,  then 
thou  shalt  hclj)  me:  but  if  the 
'"children  of  Am'mon  be  too 
stro:ig  for  thee,  (lien  I  will  iiclp 
thee.

14  So  '^Jo'ab  and  the  people 
that  were  with  him  drew  nigh 
before  the  Syr'i-an.2  unto  the 
battle;  and  they  *fled  before  him. 

15  And  when  the  ^children  of 
Am'mon  saw  that  the  Syr'i-an.s 
were  ^fled,  they  likewise  fled  be- 
fore "A-bish'a-i  his  brother,  and 
entered  into  the  city.  Then  '^Jo'- 
ab  came  to  ''Je-ru'sa-lem. 

16  Tf  And  when  the  'Syr'i-ans 
saw  that  they  were  put  to  the 
worse  before  'Ls'ra-el,  they  sent 
messengers,  and  drew  forth  the 
Syr'i-an.s  that  were  beyond  the 
river:  and  'Shr/phach  the  'cap- 
tain of  the  host  of  '"Had-ar-e'- 
zer  tvent  before  them. 

17  And  it  was  told  Da\id;  and 
he  gathered  all  'I.s'ra-el,  and 
passed  over  "  Jor'dan,  and  came 
upon  them,  and  set  the  battle  in 
array  against  them.  So  when 
Da'vid  had  put  the  battle  in  ar- 
ray against  the  Syr'i-an§,  they 
fought  with  him. 

18  But  the  Syr'i-ans  ^fled  be- 
fore I.s'ra-el;  and  Da'vid  slew 
of  the  Syr'i-an.s  seven  thousand 
me7i  which  fought  in  "chariots, 
and  forty  thousand  footmen,  and 
killed  ''Sho'phach  the  ^captain 
of  the  host. 

19  And  when  the  servants  of 
"'Had-ar-e'zer  saw  that  they 
were  put  to  the  w^orse  before  !§'- 
ra-el,  they  made  peace  with  Da'- 
vid, and  became  his  servants: 
neither  would  the  Syr'i-ans  help 
the  'children  of  Am'mon  any 
more. 

CHAPTER  20 

Rabbah  is  besieged  by  .Joab,  spoiled  by  Da- 
vid, and  the  people  thereof  put  to  deatli. 
4  Three  giants  are  slain  in  three  several 
battles  with  the  Philistines. 


AND   it   came 
after    the 
pired,  at  the  time  that  kings  go 


to   pass,   that 
year    was    ex- 


out  to  battle,  ° Jo'ab  led  forth  the 
power  of  the  ''army,  and  wasted 
the  country  of  the  '^children  of 
Am'mon,  and  came  and  ''be- 
sieged ''Rab'bah.  But  'Da'vid 
tarried  at  ^Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
Jo'ab  smote  RS,b'bah,  and  de- 
stroyed it. 

2  ''And  Da'vid  took  the  *crown 
of  their  king  from  off  his  head, 
and  found  it  to  weigh  a  ^talent 
of  '"'gold,  and  there  were  'precious 
stones  in  it;  and  it  was  set  upon 
Da'vid's  head:  and  he  brought 
also  exceeding  much  "spoil  out 
of  the  city. 

3  And  he  brought  out  the  peo- 
ple that  tvere  in  it,  and  "cut  Hhem 
with  ^saws,  and  with  '^harrows 
of  '^iron,  and  with  *axes.  Even 
so  dealt  'Da'vid  with  all  the  cit- 
ies of  the  ''children  of  Am'mon. 
And  Da'vid  and  all  the  people 
returned  to  ^Je-rii'sa-lem. 

4  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  there  arose  war  at 
'Ge'zer  with  the  "Phi-lis'tlnes ; 
at  which  time  "Sib'be-chai  the 
Hu'shath-Ite  slew  "'Sip'pai,  that 
was  of  the  children  of  -^the  giant : 
and  they  were  subdued. 

5  And  there  was  war  again  with 
the  "Phi-lis'tiiie§;  and  n^A-W- 
nan  the  son  of  Ja'ir  slew  ^/Lah'- 
ml  the  brother  of  ^Go-ll'ath  the 
"Git'tlte,  whose  ''spear  staff  was 
like  a  '^weaver's  beam. 

6  And  yet  again  there  was  war 
at  ''Gath,  where  was  a  man  of 
great  stature,  whose  fingers  and 
''toes  were  four  and  twenty,  six 
071  each  hand,  and  six  on  each 
foot:  and  he  also  was  the  son  of 
"the  giant. 

7  But  when  he  'defied  ^I.s'ra-el, 
'Mon'a-than  the  son  of  'Shim'e-a 
Da'vid's  brother  slew  him. 

8  These  were  born  unto  '^the 
giant  in  '^Gath;  and  they  fell  by 
the  hand  of  Da'vid,  and  by  the 
hand  of  his  servants.

CHAPTER  21 

David's  sin  in  numbering  the  people.  8 
His  confession  thereof.  9  Of  the  tliree 
judgntents  oifcred  him,  he  chooses  Vie 
three  days'  pestilence.  14  The  destrouing 
angel  is  stuijed,  and  Jerusalem  spared. 
18  David  bui/s  Oman's  thrcshingfloor. 
erects  an  altar,  and  ojfers  a  sacrifice  unto 
the  Lord.  28  He  continues  to  offer  sacri- 
fice in  the  same  place. 


AND  "Sa'tan  stood  up  against 
''Is'ra-el,  and  ^' '^provoked 
'^Da'vid  to  ^"'number  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  '^Da'vid  said  to  "Jo'ab 
and  to  the  rulers  of  the  ]ieo- 
ple,  ''Go,  ^number  ''Is'ra-el  from 
'Be'er-she'ba  even  to  ^Dan;  and 
bring  the  number  of  them  to  me, 
that  1  may  know  it. 

3  And  ''Jo'ab  ^answered,  Tlic 
Lord  make  his  people  an  hun- 
dred times  so  many  more  as  they 
he:  but,  my  lord  the  king,  arc 
they  not  all  my  lord's  servants  ? 
why  then  doth  my  lord  require 
this  thing?  why  will  he  be  a 
cause  of  trespass  to  Is'ra-el  ? 

4  Nevertheless  the  king's 
word  prevailed  against  ''Jo'ab. 
^^'heref()re  Jo'ab  de])arted,  and 
went  throughout  all  Is'ra-el,  and 
came  to  Me-rii'sa-lem. 

5  And  ^ Jo'ab  gave  the  ^'Asum 
of  the  number  of  the  people 
unto  '^Da'vid.  And  all  thei/  of 
''Ts'ra-el  were  a  thousand  thou- 
sand and  an  hundred  thousand 
men  that  drew  *.sword:  and 
"'Ju'dah  was  four  hundred 
threescore  and  ten  thousand 
men  that  flrew  sword. 

6  But  "Le'vT  and  "Ben'ja-niTn 
counte<l  he  not  among  them:  for 
the  king's  word  was  abominable 
to  ''.Jd'ab. 

7  And  God  was  displeased 
with  tins  thing;  therefore  he 
''smote  Is'ra-el. 

8  And  ''Da'vid  said  unto  God, 
'^I  have  sinned  greatly,  becau.se 


I  have  done  this  thing:  but  now, 
I  beseech  thee,  do  away  the  in- 
iquity of  thy  servant;  for  I  have 
done  very  foolishly. 

9  ^  x\nd  the  Lord  *• 'spake  un- 
to "Gad,  '^Da'vid's  seer,  saying, 

10  *Go  and  tell  Da'vid,  saying, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  '^'I  offer 
thee  three  things:  choose  thee 
one  of  them,  that  I  may  do  it 
unto  thee. 

11  So  '"Gad  came  to  ''Da'vid, 
and  said  unto  him,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  "'Choose  thee. 

12  Either  three  years'  ^famine; 
^or  three  months  to  be  destroyed 
before  thy  foes,  while  that  the 
*sword  of  tliine  enemies  over- 
taketh  thee;  or  else  three  days  the 
sword  of  the  Lord,  even  the 
^jiestilence,  in  the  land,  and  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  destroying 
throughout  all  the  coasts  of  I§'- 
ra-el.  Now  therefore  advise  thy- 
self what  word  I  shall  bring 
ao-ain  to  him  that  sent  me. 

13  And  '^Da'vid  said  unto 
^Gad,  I  am  in  a  great  strait:  let 
me  fall  now  into  the  hand  of  the 
Lord;  for  very  great  arc  his 
'^mercies :  but  let  me  not  fall  into 
the  hand  of  man. 

14  T[  So  the  I^ORD  sent  ''-^pesti- 
lence upon  Ts'ra-el:  and  there 
fell  of  Is'ra-el  seventy  thousand 
men. 

15  And  God  sent  an  ''angel  un- 
to ''Je-rii'sa-lem  ''to  destroy  it: 
and  as  lie  Avas  destroying,  the 
Lord  beheld,  and  he  ^-'repented 
him  of  the  evil,  and  said  to 
the  angel  that  destroyed,  It  is 
enough,  stay  now  thine  hand. 
And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  stood 
by  the  threshingfloor  of  'C)r'nan 
the  'Jeb'u-slte. 

16  And  "Da'vid  lifted  up  his

eyes,  and  '"saw  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  stand  between  the  earth 
and  the  heaven,  having  a  drawn 
*sword  in  his  hand  stretched  out 
over  ''Je-rii'sa-lem.  Then  Da'- 
vid  and  the  "elders  0/  Is'ra-el, 
who  were  clothed  in  "sackcloth, 
fell  upon  their  faces. 

17  And  Da'vid  said  unto  God, 
Is  it  not  I  ihat  commanded  the 
people  to  be  numbered  ?  even 
^•*I  it  is  that  have  sinned  and 
done  evil  indeed;  but  as  for  these 
''sheep,  what  have  they  done  ? 
^let  thine  hand,  I  pray  thee,  O 
Lord  my  God,  be  on  me,  and 
on  my  father's  house;  'but  not 
on  thy  people,  that  they  should 
be  plagued. 

18  1[  Then  the  ^angel  of  the 
Lord  "commanded  ''Gad  to  say 
to  "Da'vid,  that  Da'vid  should 
go  up,  and  set  up  an  ''altar  unto 
the  Lord  in  the  ^threshingfloor 
of  '^Or'nan  the  ^Jeb'u-site. 

19  And  Da'vid  went  up  at  the 
saying  of  ''Gad,  which  he  spake 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

20  x\nd  ^'Or'nan  turned  back, 
and  saw  the  angel;  and  his  four 
sons  with  him  hid  themselves. 
Now  Or'nan  was  ^threshing 
wheat. 

21  And  as  "Da'vid  came  to 
*Or'nan,  Or'nan  looked  and 
saw  Da'vid,  and  went  out  of  the 
threshingfloor,  and  '"bowed  hin^- 
self  to  Da'vid  with  his  face  to  the 
ground. 

22  Then  Da'vid  said  to  Or'- 
nan, Grant  me  the  place  of 
this  ^threshingfloor,  that  I  may 
build  an  "altar  therein  unto  the 
Lord:  thou  shalt  grant  it  me  for 
the  full  price:  that  the  ^plague 
may  be  stayed  from  the  people. 

23  And  ''^Or'nan  said  unto  Da'- 
vid, •''Take  it  to  thee,  and  let  my 


lord  the  king  do  that  which  is 
good  in  his  eyes:  lo,  I  give  thee 
the  oxen  also  for  ^burnt  offer- 
ings, and  the  threshing  instru- 
ments for  Avood,  and  the  wheat 
for  the  ^'^meat  offering;  I  give 
it  all. 

24  And  king  Da'vid  said  to 
Or'nan,  Nay;  but  I  will  verily 
buy  it  for  the  full  price :  for  I  will 
not  take  that  which  is  thine  for 
the  Lord,  nor  offer  ^burnt  offer- 
ings without  cost. 

2b  So  "Da'vid  gave  to  Or'- 
nan for  the  place  six  hundred 
''•'^shekels  of  '^gold  by  weight. 

26  And  Da'vid  built  there  an 
''altar  unto  the  Lord,  and 
offered  ''burnt  ^offerings  and 
''peace  offerings,  and  called  upon 
the  Lord;  and  he  answered  him 
from  'heaven  by  ^fire  upon  the 
altar  of  burnt  offering. 

27  And  the  Lord  commanded 
the  ''angel;  and  he  put  up  his 
*sword  again  into  the  sheath 
thereof. 

28  Tl  At  that  time  when  "Da'vid 
saw  that  the  Lord  had  an- 
swered him  in  the  ^threshing- 
floor  of  Or'nan  the  'Jcb'u-site, 
then  he  sacrificed  there. 

29  For  the  '"tabernacle  of  the 
Lord,  which  '']\lo'.ses  made  in 
the  wilderness, and  the  ^altar  of  the 
''burnt  offering,  were  at  that  sea- 
son in  the  high  place  at  "Gib'e-on. 

30  But  "Da'vid  could  not  go 
before  it  to  enquire  of  God :  for 
^he  was  afraid  because  of  the 
*sword  of  the  angel  of  the  Lord.

pared abundantly  l)efore  his 
death.

mon  his  son,  and  "charged  him 
to  build  an  ''house  for  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  -^Da'vid  "said  to  ''Sol'o- 
mon,  J\Iy  son,  as  for  me,  ^it  was 
in  my  mind  to  Iniild  an  'house

S  But  the  word  of  tlie  TiORD 
came  to  me,  saying,  Tiiou  hast

made  great  "wars :  thou  shalt  not

9  Behold,  a  ''son  shall  be  Ijorn 
to  thee,  who  shall  be  a  man  of 
rest;  and  I  will  give  him  *''rest 
from  all  his  enemies  round 
about:  for  his  name  shall  be 
"Sdl'o-mon,  and  I  will  give 
'•"peace  and  quietness  unto  Is'-

10  He  shall  build  an  ''house  for

11  Now,  my  son,  ^-"the  Lord 
be  with  thee;  and  prosper  thou, 
and  build  the  house  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  as  he  hath  said  of  thee. 

12  Only  the  IvORD  give  thee 
''wisdom  and  understanding, 
and  give  thee  charge  concerning

the  ''law  of  the  I^ORD  thy  God. 

13  '"Then  shalt  thou  prosper,

and  of  good  "courage;  dread  not, 
nor  be  dismayed. 

14  Now,  behold,  in  my  trouble 
I  have  prepared  for  the  ''house 
of  the  Lord  an  hundred  thou- 
sand 'talents  of  'gold,  and  a 
thousand  thousand  talents  of

build  ye  the  ^sanctuary  of  the 
liORD  God,  to  bring  the  "'ark  of 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  holy  vessels  of  God,  into  the 
"house  that  is  to  be  built  to  the

CHAPTER  23 

David  makes  Solomon  king.  2  Number 
and  dlstrihullon  of  the  Levites.  7  Sons  of 
Gershon,  12  of  Kohath,  21  and  of  Merari. 
24  Office  of  the  Levites. 

O  when  "Da'vid  was  ''old  and 
full  of  days,  he  made  '^Sol'o- 
mon  his  son  king  over  '^Ls'ra-el. 

2  Tf  And  he  gathered  together 
all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el,  with 
the  ^priests  and  the  Le'vltes. 

3  Now  the  ''LeVltes  were  num- 
bered from  the  age  of  thirty 
years  and  upward:  and  their 
number  by  their  polls,  man  by 
man,  was  thirty  and  eight  thou- 
sand. 

4  Of  which,  twenty  and  four 
thousand  lucre  "to  set  forward 
the  work  of  the  ''''house  of  the 
Lord;  and  six  thousand  were 
officers  and  'judges: 

5  Moreover  four  thousand  were 
^porters;  and  four  thousand 
Upraised  the  IvORD  with  the  '"in- 
struments which  I  "made,  said 
Da'vid,  to  praise  thercAoith. 

6  And  "Da'vid  tlivided  them 
into  courses  among  the  sons  of 
Le'vi,  namely,  "Ger'shon,  ^Ko'- 
hath,  and  *Me-ra'ri. 

7  T[  (^f  the  ''Ger'shon-ites  were, 
^La'a-dan,  and  'Shim'e-i. 

8  The  sons  of  *La'a-dan;  the 
chief  was  "  Je-hl'el,  and  Ze'tham, 
and  Jo'el,  three. 

9  The  sons  of  "Shim'e-I;  Shel'o- 
mith,  and  Hil'zi-el,  and  Ha'ran, 
three.  These  were  the  chief  of 
the  fathers  of  La'a-dan. 

10  And  the  sons  of  "Shim'e-i 
were,  Ja'hath,  Zi'na,  and  Je'iish, 
and  Be-rl'ah.  These  four  ivere 
the  sons  of  Shim'e-I. 


11  And  Ja'hath  was  the  chief, 
and  Zl'zah  the  second:  but  Je'- 
ush  and  Be-ri'ah  had  not  many 
sons;  therefore  they  were  in  one 
reckoning,  according  to  their  fa- 
ther's house. 

12  T[  The  ^sons  of  Ko'hath; 
'"Arn'ram,  ^Iz'hiir,  ^He'bron, 
and  ^tjz'zi-el,  four. 

13  The  sons  of  "Am'ram; 
''Aar'on  and  '^MO'.se.s :  and  '^Aar'- 
on  was  separated,  that  *'he  should 
sanctify  the  most  holy  things, 
he  and  his  sons  for  ever,  to  burn 
incense  before  the  Lord,  to  min- 
ister unto  him,  and  to  ''bless  in 
his  name  for  ever. 

14  Now  concerning  '^Mo'ses  the 
man  of  God,  his  sons  were  named 
of  the  "tribe  of  Le'vl. 

15  The  sons  of  ''Mo'ses  were, 
''Ger'shom,  and  'E-U-e'zer. 

16  Of  the  sons  of  ''Ger'shom, 
'Sheb'u-el  was  the  chief. 

17  And  the  sons  of  'E-li-e'zer 
were,  ^'Re-ha-l)i'ali  the  chief. 
And  E-li-e'zer  had  none  other 
sons ;  but  the  sons  of  Re-ha-bi'ah 
were  very   many. 

18  Of  the  sons  of  'Iz'har; 
'"Shel'o-nnth  the  chief. 

19  Of  the  sons  of  "He'bron;  «Je- 
ri^ah  the  first,  ^Am-a-ri'ah  the 
second,  ^Jfi-ha'zi-el  the  third, 
and  'Mek-a-me'am  the  fourth. 

20  Of  the  sons  of  ^Uz'zi-el; 
'^Mi'cali  the  first,  and  Je-si'ah 
the  second. 

21  ^  The  *sons  of  Me-ra'rl; 
'Mah'll,  and  "Ma'shl.  The  sons 
of  Mah'li;  ^E-le-a'zar,  and 
'"Kish. 

22  And  ^E-le-a'zar  died,  and 
had  no  sons,  but  daughters: 
and  their  brethren  the  sons  of 
""Kish  ^took  them. 

23  The  sons  of  "Mu'shi; 
^Mah'll,  and  ^E'der,  and  ^Jer'e- 
moth,  three. 

24  ^  These  %oere  the  sons  of

that  did  the  work  for  the  service 
of  the  house  of  the  I^ord,  "from 
the  age  of  twenty  years  and  up-

25  For  ''Da'vid  said,  The  Lord 
God  of  Ls'ra-el  '^hath  given  rest 
unto  his  people,  that  they 
may  dwell  in  ''Je-rii'sa-lem  for

27  For  by  the  last  words  of 
*Da'vid  the  ''Le'vites  were  num- 
bered from  twenty  years  old  and 
above :

The  division  of  the  sons  of  Aaron  bit  lot  Into 
four  and  twcnUi  orders.  20  The  Koliath-

these  are  the  divisions 


wz 


The  sons  of  Ajir'on;  ''Na'dab, 
and  '^A-bi'hu,  ''E-le-a'zar,  and 
'^Ith'a-miir. 

2  But  "NaMab  and  ''A-bl'hu 
died  before  their  father,  and 
had  no  children :  therefore  '^E-le- 
a'zar  and  ''Ith'a-mar  executed 
the  priest's  office. 

3  And  T)a/vid  distributed

of  '^E-le-a'zar,  and  'A-him'e-lech 
of  the  sons  of  *Ith'a-inar,  ac- 
cording to  their  offices  in  their 
service. 

4  And  there  were  more  chief 
men  found  of  the  sons  of  '^E-le- 
a'zar  than  of  the  sons  of  ^Ith'a- 
mar;  and  thus  were  they  divided. 
Among  the  sons  of  E-le-a'zar 
there  were  sixteen  chief  men  of 
the  house  of  their  fathers,  and 
eight  among  the  sons  of  Jth'a- 
uulr  according  to  the  house  of 
their  fathers. 

5  Thus  were  they  divitled  by 
^lot,  one  sort  with  another;  'for 
the  governors  of  the  ^"sanctuary, 


for  that  which  is  'fried,  and  for   and  governors   of  the   house  of

to  'thank  and  ''praise  the  Lord,

on  the  set  "feasts,  by  number,  ac- 
cording to  the  order  commanded 
unto  them,  continually  before 
the  Lord: 

32  And  that  they  should  keep 
the  charge  of  the  ^tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  and  the  charge 
of  the  '^holy  plare,  and  the  charge 
of  the  sons  of  Aar'on  their  breth- 
ren, in  the  service  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord.

CONCERNING  the  divisions 
V  of  the  "porters :  OftheKor'- 
hltes  was  ''Me-shel-e-nii'ah  the 
son  of  '^Ko're,  of  the  sons  of 
'^A'saph. 

2  And  the  sons  of  ''Me-shel- 
e-ml'ah  were,  ^Zech-a-rl'ah  the 
firstborn,  Je-dl^i-el  the  secontl, 
Zeb-a-di'ah  the  third,  Jilth'ni-el 
the  fourth, 

3  E'lam  the  fifth,  Je-ho-ha'- 
nan  the  sixth,  £l-li(-o-e'na-i  the 
seventh. 

4  Moreover  the  sons  of  ^O'bed- 
e'doni  were,  Shem-a-fah  the 
firstborn,  Je-hoz'a-bad  the  sec- 
ond, Jo'ah  the  third,  and  Sa'eiir 
the  fourth,  and  Ne-than'e-el  the 
fifth, 

5  Am'mi-el  the  sixth,  Is'sa- 
char  the  seventh,  Pe-iil'thai  the 
eighth:  for  God  blessed  hiin. 

6  Also  unto  Shem-a-T'ah  his 
son  were  sons  born,  that  ruled 
throughout  the  house  of  their  fa- 
ther: for  they  ^vere  mighty  men 
of  valour. 

7  The  sons  of  Shem-a-I'ah; 
Oth'ni,  and  Re'pha-el,  and  0'- 
bed,  El'za-bad,  whose  brethren 
were  strong  men,  l^l-ii'hu,  and 
Sem-a-chl'ah. 

8  All  these  of  the  sons  of 
'O'bed-e'dom :  they  and  their 
sons  and  their  brethren,  able 
men  for  strength  for  the  service, 
were  threescore  and  two  of  O'- 
bed-e'dom. 

9  And    *Me-shel-e-mI'ah    had 


sons  and  brethren,  strong  men, 
eighteen. 

10  Also  ''Ho'sah,  of  the  \-hil- 
dren  of  Me-ra'rl,  had  sons;  Sim'- 
rl  the  chief,  ('for  thovgh  he  was 
not  the  ^firstborn,  yet  his  father 
made  him  the  chief;) 

11  ^Hil-kl'ah  the  second,  Teb- 
a-li'ah  the  third,  Zech-a-rl'ah  the 
fourth :  all  the  sons  and  brethren 
of  ''Ho'sah  were  thirteen. 

12  Among  these  were  the  divi- 
sions of  the  "porters,  even  among 
the  chief  men,  having  Vards 
one  against  another,  to  minister 
in  the  '-'"house  of  the  Lord. 

13  ^  And  "they  cast  "lots,  as 
well  the  small  as  the  great,  ac- 
cording to  the  house  of  their  fa- 
thers, for  every  gate. 

14  And  the  ''lot  eastward  fell  to 
*Shel-e-ml'ah.  Then  for  ''Zech- 
a-ri'ah  his  son,  a  wise  counsellor, 
they  cast  lots;  and  his  lot  came 
out  northward. 

15  To  a")'bed-e'dom  south- 
ward; and  to  his  sons  the  ^house 
of  A-sup'pim. 

16  To  Shup'pim  and  "Ho'sah 
the  lot  came  forth  westward,  witli 
the  "gate  Shal'le-cheth,  by  the 
causeway  of  the  going  up,  ward 
against  ward. 

17  Eastward  were  six  ^Le'- 
vltes,  northward  four  a  day, 
southward  four  a  day,  and  ^to- 
ward A-sup'pim  two  and  two. 

18  At  Piir'bar  westward,  four 
at  the  causeway,  and  two  at 
Par'bar. 

19  These  are  the  divisions  of 
the  "porters  among  the  sons 
of  '*''^Ko''re,  and  among  the  ''sons 
of  INIe-ra'ri. 

20  f  And  of  the  ^Le'vites,

the  Lord,  and  in  the  audience 
of  our  God,  "'"'keep  and  seek  for 
all  the  commandments  of  the 
Lord  your  God:  Hhat  ye  may 
possess  this  good  -^land,  and 
leave  it  for  an  inheritance  for 
your  children  after  you  for  ever. 

9  ^  And  thou,  "'Sol'o-mon  my 
son,  know  thou  the  God  of  thy 
father,  and  '"'  ^serve  him  with  a 
^perfect  "heart  and  with  a  willing 
mind:  for  the  Lord  searcheth 
all  hearts,  and  ''understand- 
eth  all  the  '^imaginations  of  the 
thoughts:  if  '^'^thou  seek  him, 
''•^he  will  be  found  of  thee;  but  if 
thou  ''forsake  him,  he  will  *cast 
thee  off  for  ever. 

10  Take  heed  now;  for  the 
Lord  hath  ^chosen  thee  to  build 
an  house  for  the  ^sanctuary:  be 
strong,  and  do  it. 

11  ^  Then  ^Da'vid  gave  to 
'"Sol'o-mon  his  son  the  "pattern 
of  the  porch,  and  of  the  houses 
thereof,  and  of  the  "treasuries 
thereof,  and  of  the  upper  cham- 
bers thereof,  and  of  the  inner 
parlours  thereof,  and  of  the 
place  of  the  ^mercy  seat, 

12  And  the  "pattern  of  all  that 
he  had  by  the  ^spirit,  of  the 
''courts  of  the  *house  of  the 
Lord,  and  of  all  the  chambers 
round  about,  of  the  "treasuries 
of  the  house  of  God,  and  of 
the  treasuries  of  the  dedicated 
things : 

13  Also  for  the  courses  of  the 
'priests  and  the  "Le'vltes,  and 
for  all  the  work  of  the  service 
of  the  *house  of  the  Lord,  and 
for  all  the  vessels  of  service  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 


14  He  gave  of  ^gold  by  weight 
for  Hhinrjs  of  gold,  for  all  ^in- 
struments of  all  manner  of  serv- 
ice; ^silver  also  for  all  'instru- 
ments of  silver  by  weight  for  all 
instruments  of  every  kind  of 
service : 

15  Even  the  weight  for  the 
'"candlesticks  of  "gold,  and  for 
their  lamps  of  gold,  by  weight 
for  every  candlestick,  and  for 
the  lamps  thereof:  and  for  the 
candlesticks  of  silver  by  weight, 
both  for  the  candlestick,  and  also 
for  the  lamps  thereof,  according 
to  the  use  of  every  candlestick. 

16  And  by  weight  he  gave  ''gold 
for  the  ^tables  of  shewbread,  for 
every  table;  and  likewise  'silver 
for  the  tables  of  silver: 

17  Also  pure  "gold  for  the 
^fleshhoolcs,  and  the  ^bowls,  and 
the  cups:  and  for  the  golden 
"basons  he  gave  gold  by  weight 
for  every  bason;  and  likeiowc 
^silver  by  weight  for  every  bason 
of  silver: 

18  And  for  the  ^altar  of  in-

spread  out  their  vnngs,  and  cov- 
ered the  ^ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord. 

19  All  this,  said  ^Da'vid,  the 
Lord  ''made  me  understand  in 
writing  by  his  hand  upon  me, 
even  all  the  works  of  this  'pat- 
tern. 

20  And  ^Da'vid  said  to  'Sol'o-

not,  nor  be  dismayed:  for  "'-''the

every  willing  skilful  man,  for 
any  manner  of  service :  also  the 
princes  and  all  the  people  %vill  he 
wholly  at  thy  commandment. 

CHAPTER  29 

David,  by  his  example  and  entreaty,  causes 
the  princes  and  people  to  offer  willingly. 
lOHlstlianksgivlng  and  prayer.  20  The 
people,  having  blessed  God.  and  sacrificed, 
make  Solomon  king.  27  David's  reign 
and  death. 

FURTHERMORE  '^DaVid 
the  king  said  unto  all  the 
congregation,  *S6l'o-mon  my 
son,  whom  alone  God  hath  '^cho- 
sen,  is  yet  young  and  tender,  and 
the  work  is  great :  for  the  "^palace 
is  not  for  man,  but  for  the  Lord 
God. 

2  Now  ^I  have  prepared  with 
all  my  might  for  the  ''house  of 
my  God  the  ^gold  for  things  to  he 
made  of  gold,  and  the  ^silver  for 
things  of  silver,  and  the  ^brass 
for  things  of  brass,  the  'iron  for 
things  of  iron,  and  wood  for 
things  of  wood;  ^onyx  stones, 
and  stones  to  be  set,  ^glistering 
stones,  and  of  divers  colours,  and 
all  manner  of  '''precious  .stones, 
and  *marble  stones  in  abun- 
dance. 

3  Moreover,  because  I  have  set 
my  affection  to  the  ''house  of  my 
(lod,  ^I  have  of  mine  own  proper 
good,  of  ''gold  and  ^silver,  whifh 
'^1  have  given  to  the  house  of 
my  God,  over  and  above  all 
that  I  have  prepared  for  the 
'holy  house, 


4  Even  three  thousand  '"talents 
of  ^gold,  of  the  "gold  of  "O'phir, 
and  seven  thousand  talents  of 
''refined  "silver,  to  overlay  the 
walls  of  the  houses  withal: 

5  The  ''gold  for  things  of  gold, 
and  the  "silver  for  things  of  sil- 
ver, and  for  all  manner  of  work 
to  he  made  by  the  hands  of  ^artif- 
icers. And  who  then  is  willing 
to  consecrate  ^his  service  this 
day  unto  the  Lord? 

6  ^  Then  the  chief  of  the  fa- 
thers and  princes  of  the  tribes 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  ^captains  of 
''thousands  and  of  hundreds, 
with  the  rulers  of  the  kino-'s 
work,  ''offered  willingly, 

7  And  ''gave  for  the  service  of 
the  ''house  of  God  of  ^gold  five 
thousand  '"talents  and  ten  thou- 
sand Vlrams,  and  of  "silver  ten 
thousand  talents,  and  of  ''brass 
eighteen  thousand  talents,  and 
one  hundred  thousand  talents 
of  4ron. 

8  And  they  with  whom  '7;?^- 
cious  stones  were  found  *gave 
them  to  the  ^treasure  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  by  the  hand  of  'Je- 
hi'el  the  "(ler'shon-Ite. 

9  Then  the  people  "rejoiced, 
for  that  they  "offered  willingly, 
because  with  perfect  heart  they 
offered  willingly  to  the  Lord: 
and  Da'vid  the  king  also  re- 
joiced with  great  ""joy. 

"  10  T[  Wherefore  ^Da'vid  ^bless- 
ed the  IjORD  before  all  the 
congregation:  and  Da'vid  said, 
Blessed  be  thou.  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el  our  father,  ^for  ever  and 
ever. 

11  Thine,  O  Lord,  is  the 
greatness,  and  the  "power,  and 
the  *glory,  and  the  victory,  and 
tlie  majesty:  for  all  that  is  in  the

13  Now  therefore,  our  God,  we 
'thank  thee,  and  Upraise  thy 
glorious  name. 

14  But  *who  am  I,  and  what  'is 
my  people,  that  we  should  be 
able  to  offer  so  willingly  after 
this  sort  ?  for  all  things  come  of 
thee,  and  of  thine  own  have  we 
given  thee. 

15  For  we  are  strangers  before 
thee,  and  sojourners,  as  were  all 
our  fathers:  'our  days  on  the 
earth  are  as  a  shadow,  and  tliere 
is  none  abiding. 

16  O  Lord  our  God,  all  this 
store  that  we  have  prepared  to 
build  thee  an  ^house  for  thine 
holy  name  cometh  of  thine  hand, 
and  is  all  thine  own. 

17  I  know  also,  my  God,  that

pleasure  in  "'uprightness.  As  for 
me,  in  the  uprightness  of  mine

all  these  things:  and  now  have 
I  seen  with  '''^joy  thy  people, 
which  are  present  here,  to  offer 
willingly  unto  thee. 

18  O  Lord  God  of  "A'bra- 
h?m,  '■J'saac,  and  of  *Is'ra-el, 
our  fathers,  'keep  this  for  ever  in 
the  imagination  of  the  thoughts 
of  the  heart  of  thy  people,  and 
prepare  their  heart  unto  thee: 

19  And  'give  unto  "Sol'o-mon

keep  thy  commandments,  thy 
testimonies,  and  thy  statutes, 
and  to  do  all  these  things,  and  to 
build  the  ^palace,  jor  the  which 
I  have  made  provision. 

20  T[  And  Dii'vid  said  to  all 
the  congregation,  Now  bless  the 
Lord  your  God.     And  all  the 


congregation  ''blessed  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers,  and  bowed 
down  their  heads,  and  wor- 
shipped the  Lord,  and  the  king. 

21  And  they  sacrificed  sac- 
rifices unto  the  Lord,  and  of- 
fered ^burnt  ^offerings  unto  the 
Lord,  on  the  morrow  after  that 
day,  even  a  thousand  bullocks, 
a  thousand  rams,  and  a  thou- 
sand lambs,  with  their  'drink 
offerings,  and  sacrifices  in  abun- 
dance for  all  Is'ra-el: 

22  And  did  eat  and  drink 
before  the  Lord  on  that  day 
with  great  "gladness.  And  they 
made  ''Sol'o-mon  the  son  of 
'Da'vid  king  the  second  time, 
and  ''anointed  him  unto  the 
Lord  to  he  the  chief  governor, 
and  ''Za'dok  to  he  ''priest. 

23  Then  ''Sol'o-mon  sat  on  the 
^thi'one  of  the  Lord  as  king 
instead  of  '^Da'vid  his  father, 
and  prospered;  and  all  Ls'ra-el 
obeyed  him. 

24  iVnd  all  the  princes,  and  the 
mighty  men,  and  all  the  sons 
likewise  of  king  Da'vid,  sub- 
mitted themselves  unto  SoFo- 
mon  the  king. 

25  And  the  Lord  ''magnified 
''Sol'o-mon  exceedingly  in  the 
sight  of  all  Is'ra-el,  and  be- 
stowed upon  him  such  royal 
majesty  as  had  not  been  on  any 
king  before  him   in   Is'ra-el. 

26  ^  Thus  '^Da'vid  the  son  of 
Mes'se  reigned  over  all  Is'ra-el. 

27  And  the  time  that  he  reigned 
over  T.s'ra-el  was  forty  years; 
seven  years  reigned  he  in  ^He'- 
bron,  and  thirty  and  three  years 
reigned  he  in  'Je-rii'sa-lem. 

28  And  he  '"died  in  a  good  "old 
age,  full  of  days,  ''riches,  and 
honour:  and  ''Sol'o-mon  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

29  Now  the  acts  of  ^Da'vid  the 
"king,  first  and  last,  behold,  they 
are  written  in  the  ''book  of 
'Sam'u-el  the  ''seer,  and  in  the

CHAPTER  1 

The  solemn  offering  of  Solomon  at  Glbeon. 
7  His  choice  of  wisdom  is  blessed  by  God. 
13  Solomon's  power  and  wealth. 


AXD  °Sol'o-mon  the  son  of 
''Da'\id  was  '^strength- 
ened in  his  kingdom,  and  the 
Lord  his  God  was  with  him, 
and  magnified  him  exceedingly. 

2  Then  "Sol'o-inon  S]>ake  unto 
all  '^Is'ra-el,  to  the  ''captains  of 
'thousands  and  of  hundreds,  and 
to  the  ^jutlges,  and  to  every 
governor  in  all  I.s'ra-el,  the  chief 
of    the   fathers. 

3  So  '^Sol'o-mon,  and  all  the 
congregation  with  him,  went 
to  the  ''high  place  that  tvas  at 
'^Gib'-e-on;  for  there  was  the 
^■'tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion of  God,  which  *Mo'se.s  the 
servant  of  the  Lord  had  made 
in  tlie  wilderness. 

4  But  the  'ark  of  God  had  "Da'- 
vid  brought  up  from  "'Kir'jath- 
je'a-rim  to  the  place  which  Da'- 
vid  had  prepared  for  it:  for  he 
had  })itched  a  'tent  for  it  at 
'Me-nr'.sa-lem. 

5  Moreover  the  brasen  "altar, 
that  ?'Be-zril'c-el  the  son  of  '^{]'n, 
the  son  of  ''Hur  had  made,  he 
])ut  before  the  ■'tabernacle  of  the 
Lord:  and  "S6l'o-mon  and  the 
congregation  sought  unto  it. 

6  And  "SoKo-mon  went  up 
thither  to  the  brasen  "altar  be- 
fore the  Lord,  which  va.s-  at 
the  ^''tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation, and  offered  a  thousand 
*burnt  'offerings  upon  it. 

7  If  In  that  night  did  God  "ap- 
pear unto  "Sol'o-mon,  and  "said 


unto  him.  Ask  what  I  shall  give 
thee. 

8  And  '^Sol'o-mon  "said  unto 
God,  Thou  hast  shewed  great 
mercy  unto  *Da'vid  my  father, 
and  "hast  made  me  to  reign  in 
his  stead. 

9  Now,  O  Lord  God,  let  thy 
promise  unto  Da^vid  my  father 
be  established:  for  thou  hast 
made  me  king  over  a  people  like 
the  dust  of  the  earth  in  multi- 
tude. 

10  ^'''Give  me  now  ^wisdom 
and  knowledge,  that  I  may  go 
out  and  come  in  before  this  peo- 
ple: for  who  can  judge  this  thy 
people,  that  is  so  great  ? 

11  And  God  "said  to  SoKo-mon, 
Because  this  was  in  thine  heart, 
and  thou  hast  not  asked  riches, 
wealth,  or  honour,  nor  the  life  of 
thine  enemios,  neither  yet  hast 
asked  long  life;  but  hast  asked 
^wisdom  and  knowledge  for  thy- 
self, that  thou  mayest  judge  my 
people,  over  whom  I  have  made 
thee    king: 

12  ■''Wisdom  and  knowledge  is 
g''anted  unto  thee;  and  1  will 
''give  thee  Mches,  and  ''wealth, 
and  ''honou",  such  as  none  of  the 
kings  have  had  that  Jiave  been 
before  thee,  neither  shall  there 
any  after  thee  have    the  like. 

13  ^  Then  '^SoKo-mon  came 
from  his  journey  to  the  ''high 
place  that  -was  at  ''Gib'e-on  to 
Me-rii'sa-lem,  from  before  the 
'•"tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  reigned  over  ''I.s'ra-el. 

14  'And  '^SSro-mon  gathered 
'chariots  and  ^''horsemen:  and

answer. 

AND  °S6Ko-mon  determined 
to  build  an  ''house  for  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  an 
''house  for  his  kingdom. 

2  And  '^Soro-mon  told  out 
threescore  and  ten  thousand 
men  to  bear  burdens,  and  four- 
score thousand  to  hew  in  the 
mountain,  and  three  thousand 
and  six  hundred  to  oversee  them. 

3  If  And  "SSro-mon  sent  to 
''Hu'ram  the  king  of  *Tyre,  say- 
ing, As  thou  didst  deal  with 
^Da'vid  my  fatlier,  and  didst 
send  him  ^cedars  to  build  him  an 
house  to  dwell  therein,  even  so 
deal  tvith  me. 

4  Behold,  I  build  an  ''house  to 
the  name  of  the  Lord  my  God, 
to  dedicate  it  to  him,  and  to  burn 
before  him  ^sweet  ''incense,  and 


for  the  continual  *shewbread, 
and  for  the  %urnt  offerings 
morning  and  evening,  on  the 
*sabbaths,  and  on  the  'new 
moons,  and  on  the  ^solemn 
'"feasts  of  the  Lord  our  God. 
This  is  an  ordinance  for  ever  to 
Ls'ra-el. 

5  And  the  ''house  which  I  build 
is  great:  for  great  is  our  God 
above  all  gods. 

6  But  who  is  able  to  build  him 
an  house,  seeing  the  "heaven  and 
heaven  of  heavens  "cannot  con- 
tain %im?  ^who  am  I  then,  that 
I  should  build  him  an  house, 
save  only  to  burn  ^sacrifice  be- 
fore him? 

7  Send  me  now  therefore  a 
''man  cunning  to  work  in  gokl, 
and  in  silver,  and  in  brass,  and 
in  iron,  and  in  *purple,  and 
^crimson,  and  *blue,  and  that 
can  skill  to  grave  with  the  cun- 
ning men  that  are  with  me  in 
Mu'dah  and  in  "Je-rii'sa-lcm, 
whom  Da'vid  my  father  did 
provide. 

8  Send  me  also  ''cedar  trees, 
'^fir  trees,  and  '"alguin  trees,  out 
of  ^Leb'a-non:  for  I  know  that 
thy  servants  can  skill  to  cut  tim- 
ber in  Leb'a-non;  and,  behold, 
my  servants  shall  be  with  thy 
servants. 

9  Even  to  prepare  me  timber  in 
abundance :  for  the  *house  which 
I  am  about  to  build  shall  he

of  the  house,  twenty  ^cubits,  and 
the  height  was  an  hundred  and 
twenty:  and  he  overlaid  it  within 
with  pure  "'gold. 

5  And  the  greater  house  he 
cieled  with  "fir  tree,  which  he 
overlaid  with  fine  '"gold,  and  "set 
thereon  "palm  trees  and  ^chains. 

6  And  he  garnished  the  house 
with  'precious  stones  for  beauty: 
and  the  '"gold  was  gold  of  Piir- 
va'im. 

7  He  overlaid  also  the  house, 
the  beams,  the  ^posts,  and  the 
walls  thereof,  and  the  doors 
thereof,  with  '"gold;  and  graved 
''cherubims  on  the  walls. 

8  And  he  made  the  *most  holy 
house,  the  length  whereof  was 
according  to  the  breadth  of  the 
house,  twenty  ''cubits,  and  the 
breadth  thereof  twenty  cubits: 
and  he  overlaid  it  with  fine 
'"gold,  amounting  to  six  hundred 
'talents. 

9  And  the  weight  of  the  "nails 
was  fifty  'shekels  of  gold.  And 
he  overlaid  the  upper  chambers 
with  '"gold. 

10  And  in  the  *most  holy 
house  he  made  two  ''cherubims 
of  image  work,  and  overlaid 
them  with  '"gokl. 

1 1  And  the  wings  of  the  ''cheru- 
bims  were  twenty  ^"cubits  long: 
one  wing  of  the  one  clientb  was 
five  cubits,  reaching  to  the  wall 
of  the  house:  and  the  other  wing 
was  likewise  five  cubits,  reach- 
ing to  the  wing  of  the  other 
cherub. 

12  And  one  wing  of  the  other 
chei'ub  was  five  '"cubits,  reach- 
ing to  the  wall  of  the  house:  and 
the  other  wing  was  five  cubits 
also,  joining  to  the  wing  of  the 
other  cherub. 

13  The  wings  of  these  ''cher- 
ubims  spread  themselves   forth ' 


twenty  cubits:  and  they  stood  on 
their  feet,  and  their  faces  were 
'inward. 

14  And  he  made  the  *'"'vail  of 
^blue,  and  ^purple,  and  ^crim- 
son, and  fine'dinen,  and  wrought 
'cherubims  thereon. 

15  Also  he  made  before  the 
'house  two  ^pillars  of  thirty  and 
five  "cubits  high,  and  the  ''chapi- 
ter that  was  on  the  top  of  each 
of  them  %vas  five  cubits. 

16  And  he  made  ^chains,  as  in 
the  oracle,  and  put  them  on  the 
heads  of  the  '^pillars;  and  made 
an  hundred  ''pomegranates,  and 
put  them  on  the  chains. 

17  And  he  reared  up  the  '^pil- 
lars before  the  ''temple,  one  on 
the  right  hand,  and  the  other  on 
the  left;  and  called  the  name  of 
that  on  the  right  hand  "Ja'chin, 
and  the  name  of  that  on  the  left 
''Bo'az.

''cubits  the  length  thereof,  and 
twenty  cubits  the  breadth  there-

thereof. 

2  ^  Also  he  made  a  molten  "sea 
of  ten  '^cubits  from  brim  to  brim,

line  of  thirty  cubits  did  compass

and  put  five  on  the  right  hand, 
and  five  on  the  left,  to  'wash  in 
them:  such  things  as  ^they  of- 
fered for  the  '"burnt  offering  they 
'washed  in  them;  but  the  sea  was 
for  the  priests  to  wash  in. 

7  And  he  made  ten  "candlesticks 
of  "gold  according  to  ''their  form, 
and  set  them  in  the  ^temple,  five 
on  the  right  hand,  and  five  on 
the  left. 

8  He  made  also  ten  ^tables,  and 
placed  thein  in  the  ^temple,  five 
on  the  right  side,  and  five  on  the 
left.  And  he  made  an  hundred 
''basons  of  "gold. 

9  T[  Furthermore  he  made 
the  *court  of  the  'priests,  and  the 
great  court,  and  doors  for  the 
court,  and  overlaid  the  doors  of 
them  with  "brass. 

10  And  he  set  the  ^sea  on  the 
right  side  of  the  *east  end,  over 
against  the  south. 

11  ^  And  '^•'"Ha'ram  made 
the  pots,  and  the  ^shovels,  and 
the  '^basons.  And  Hu'ram  fin- 
ished the  work  that  he  was  to 
make  for  king  ''Sol'o-nion  for 
the  ^house  of  God; 

12  To  wit,  the  two  "pillars,  and 
the  ^pommels,  and  the  ^chapi- 
ters-u;// //■/;,  tvere  on  the  top  of  the 
two  pillars,  and  the  two  "wreaths 
to  cover  the  two  pommels  of  the 
chapiters  which  were  on  the  top 
of  the   pillars; 

13  And  four  hundred  "pome- 
granates on  the  two  "wreaths; 
two   rows  of  pomegranates   on 


each  wreath,  to  cover  the  two 
"pommels  of  the  chapiters  which 
were  upon  the  pillars. 

14  He  made  also  bases,  and 
lavers  made  he  Uj)()n  the  bases; 

15  One  ''sea,  and  twelve  oxen 
under  it. 

IG  The  pots  also,  and  the  '"shov- 
els, and  the  ''fleshhooks,  and  all 
their  instruments,  did  '^Hu'ram 
his  father  make  to  king  ^Sol'o- 
mon  for  the  ''house  of  the  Loud 
of  bright  ''brass. 

17  In  the  plain  of  'JorMan  did 
the  king  ■'cast  them,  in  the  clay 
ground  between  ''Siic'coth  and 
Ze-red'a-thah. 

18  Thus  ''Sol'o-mon  made  all 
these  vessels  in  great  abundance: 
for  the  weight  of  the  ''brass  could 
not  be  found  out. 

19  Tf  And  -^SSro-mon  made  all 
tl:e  vessels  that  were  for  the 
''house  of  God,  the  'golden  altar 
also,  and  the  tables  whereon  the 
'"shewbread  tvas  set; 

20  Moreover  the  "candlesticks 
with  their  lamps,  that  they 
should  burn  after  the  manner 
before  the  oracle,  of  pure  "gold; 

21  And  the  flowers,  and  the 
lamps,  and  the  ^tongs,  made 
lie  of  "gold,  and  that  perfect 
gold; 

22  And  the  "snuffers,  and  the 
''basons,  and  the  ^spoons,  anfl 
the  ^''censers,  of  pure  "gold:  and 
the  entry  of  the  house,  the  inner 
doors  thereof  for  the  most  "holy

of  the  ^temple,  were  of  gold.

ments,  put  he  among  the  treas- 
ures of  the  house  of  God. 

2  Tf  Then  ''Sol'o-mon  assem- 
bled the  ''elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
all  the  heads  of  the  tribes,  the 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ls'ra-el,  unto  "Je-rii'sa,- 
lem,  to  bring  up  the  ''ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  out  of  the 
city  of  Da'vid,  which  is  '^Zi'on. 

3  Wherefore  all  the  men  of  Ls'- 
ra-el assembled  themselves  unto 
the  king  in  the  ■'feast  which  tvas 
in  the  seventh  ''month. 

4  And  all  the  ^elders  of  Ls'ra-el 
came;  and  the  'Le'vites  took  up 
the  ''ark. 

5  And  they  brought  up  the  ''ark, 
and  the  ^•'"tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  all  the  holy  ves- 
sels that  were  in  the  ^tabernacle, 
these  did  the  "priests  and  the 
'Le'vites  bring  up. 

6  Also  king  "Soi'o-mon,  and  all 
the  congregation  of  Ls'ra-el  that 
were  assembled  unto  him  before 
the  ''ark,  sacrificed  "sheep  and 
^oxen,  which  could  not  be  told 
nor  numbered  for  multitude. 

7  And  the  "priests  brought  in 
the  ''ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  unto  his  place,  to  the 
^oracle  of  the  /'house,  into  the 
most  ''holy  place,  even  under 
the  wings  of  the  *cherubims: 

8  For  the  *cherubims  spread 
forth  their  wings  over  the  place 
of  the  ''ark,  and  tlac  cherubims 
covered  the  ark  and  the  staves 
thereof  above. 


9  And  they  drew  out  the  staves 
of  the  ''■ark,  that  the  ends  of  the 
staves  were  seen  from  the  ark 
before  the  ^oracle;  but  they  were 
not  seen  without.  And  there  it 
is  vmto  this  day. 

10  There  was  nothing  in  the 
'ark  save  the  two  "tables  which 
"Mo'scs  put  therein  at  "'Ho'reb, 
when  the  Lord  made  a  ^cove- 
nant with  the  children  of  ^Ls- 
ra-el,  when  they  came  out  of 
^E'gypt. 

11  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  priests  were  come  out  of  the 
"holy  place:  (for  all  the  priests 
that  were  present  were  ''sancti- 
fied, and  did  not  then  wait  by 
course: 

12  Also  the  '".Le'vites  which 
were  the  '^singers,  all  of  them  of 
^A'saph,  of  ''He'man,  of  "Jctl'u- 
thiin,  with  their  sons  and  their 
brethren,  hehig  arrayed  in  ''white 
linen,  having  'cymbals  and  ^psal- 
teries and  '^harj)s,  stood  at  the 
east  end  of  the  altar,  and  with 
them  an  hundred  and  twenty 
priests  sounding  with  'trumj)- 
ets:) 

13  It  came  even  to  pass,  as  the 
'trumpeters  and  ''singers  were  as 
one,  to  make  one  sound  to  be 
heard  in  '"praising  and  "thank- 
ing the  Lord;  and  when  they 
lifted  up  their  voice  with  the 
trumpets  and  'cymbals  and  in- 
struments of  *musick,  and 
praised  the  Lord,  saying,  For 
he  is  "good;  for  his  ^mercy  en-

'house  was  filletl  with  a  eloucl, 
even  the  hoii.se  of  tlie  Lord; 

14  So  that  the  priests  coukl  not 
stand  to  minister  by  reason  of 
the  cloud:  for  the  ''glory  of  the 
Loud  had  filled  the  ''■^house  of 
God. 

CHAPTER  C) 

Solomon' s  blessing  anil  declaration.      12  Uls 
prayer  at  the  consecration  of  the  temple. 

THEN  said  *S6l'o-mon,  The 
Lord  hath  said  that  '^he 
would  dwell  in  the  thick  ''dark- 
ness. 

2  But  I  have  built  an  '"house  of 
habitation  for  thee,  and  a  place 
for  thy  dwelling  for  ever. 

3  And  the  ''king  turned  his  face, 
and  ''blessed  the  whole  congrega- 
tion of  Is'ra-el:  and  all  the  con- 
o-reffation  of  Is'ra-el  stood. 

4  /\.nd  he  said,  "Blessed  be  the 
Lord  God  of  ly'ra-el,  who  hath 
with  his  hands  "fulfilled  thai 
which  he  spake  with  his  mouth 
to  my  father  Da'vid,  saying, 

5  Since  the  day  that  'I  brought 
forth  my  peojile  out  of  the  land 
of  •'E'gvjit  I  chose  no  city  among 
all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  build 
an  house  in,  that  my  name 
might  be  there;  neither  chose  I 
any  man  to  be  a  ruler  over  my 
people  Is'ra-el: 

6  But  I  have  '^chosen  ^  Je-ru'- 


sa-lem,  that  my  name  might  be 
there;  and  '"have  cho.sen  "Da'vid 
to  be  over  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

7  Now  it  was  in  the  heart  of 
'T)a'vid  my  father  to  build  an 
"house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el. 

8  But  the  Lord  said  to  "Da'- 
vid  my  father.  Forasmuch  as  it 
was  in  thine  heart  to  build  an 
house  for  my  name,  thou  didst 
well  in  that  it  was  in  thine  heart: 

9  Notwithstanding  thou  shalt 
not  build  the  house;  but  thy  son 
which  shall  come  forth  out  of  thy 
loins,  he  shall  build  the  house 
for  my  name. 

10  The  Lord  therefore  hath 
performed  his  word  that  he  hath 
spoken:  for  I  am  risen  up  in  the 
room  of  Da'viil  my  father,  and 
am  set  on  the  ''throne  of  Ls'ra-el, 
as  the  Lord  promised,  and  have 
built  the  ''house  for  the  name  of 
the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

11  And  in  it  have  I  put  the 
'ark,  wherein  is  the  ''covenant  of 
the  Lord,  that  he  made  with  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 

12  *[[  And  he  stood  before  the 
altar  of  the  Lord  in  the  pres- 
ence of  all  the  congregation  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  spreatl  forth  his 
hands ;

Al-taschith.  It  appears  In  the  titles  of  Psa.  .'J7,  58,  59, 
75,  and  seems  to  have  been  used  to  indicate  the  kind  of  ode, 
or  the  Idnd  of  melody  In  which  the  ode  should  be  sung. 

HiGr,.\ioN.  In  Psa.  92:3;  aceordintr  to  (iesenlus,  it  signi- 
fies the  murmuring  tone  of  a  harp,  and  hence  that  the  mu.sic 
should  be  rendered  In  a  plaintive  manner.  In  Psa.  9:16, 
combined  with  "Selah,"  it  may  have  been  intended  to  indi- 
cate a  pause  in  the  vocal  music  while  the  instruments  rendered 
an  Interlude.  In  Psa.  19:14,  Mendelssohn  translates  it  "medi- 
tation, thought";  hence  that  the  music  was  to  be  rendered  In 
a  mode  to  promote  devout  meditation. 

Mahalath,  Maschii.,  Lka.n.moth.  These  terms  are  found 
In  the  titles  of  Psalm  53  and  88.  Authorities  grope  in  dark- 
ness as  to  their  signilication.  They  may  intilcate  the  instru- 
ments to  be  played  or  the  melodies  to  tie  sung. 

Maschil.  This  musical  sign  occurs  in  tlie  titles  of  Psalms 
32,  42,  44,  45,  52,  53,  54,  55,  74,  78,  88,  89,  142.  The  meaning 
Is  obscure.  But  its  signification  where  it  occurs  elsewhere 
than  in  the  titles  of  Psalms  is  equivalent  to  the  ICngllsh  word 
"instruction,"  or  to  become  wise  by  instruction;  hence  Psa. 
47:7,  "Sing  ye  praises  with  understanding." 

MiCHTAM.  A  musical  term  In  the  titles  of  Psalms  16,  56, 
57,  58-60.  Luther  Interprets  as  "golden,"  that  Is,  precious. 
Ewald  interprets  it  as  signifying  a  plaintive  manner. 

MuTH  LABBKN,  in  the  title  of  Psalm  9.  Authorities,  ancient 
and  modern,  differ  as  to  the  prol)able  signilication.  (iesenlus 
and  De  Wette  interpret  it,  "with  the  voice  of  virgins,  by 
boys."     Others  derive   the  word   from   a  dilTerent   Heiirew 


root,  and  interpret  it  as  Indicating  that  the  Psalm  was  a 
funeral  ode. 

Necunah  and  Neoinotii  ajjpear  in  the  titles  of  Psalms  4, 
54,  55,  61 ,  67 ,  and  Hab.  3 : 1 9.  Tlielr  use  seems  to  have  been  to 
indicate  that  the  song  sliould  be  accompanied  by  stringed 
instruments. 

Nehiloth,  In  tlie  title  of  Psalm  5.  It  seems  to  indicate, 
accordiiig  to  (iesenlus,  tliat  when  this  Psalm  was  sung  it  was 
to  be  accompanied  by  wind  instruments. 

Selah.  This  term  appears  fretiuently  in  tlie  Psalms.  Us 
use  is  not  known.  Possibly  It  signilled  a  pause  in  the  vocal 
music  while  an  instrumental  interlude  or  Hnale  was  rendered; 
or,  as  some  thinU",  11  was  an  e<|ulvalent  to  forte  or  fortissimo. 

Shkminith,  in  the  titles  of  Psalms  6  and  12,  translated 
"eighth,"  probably  Indicates  tlu  measure,  movement,  or 
pitcli. 

SinccAioN,  In  the  tiUe  of  Psalm  7,  and  Its  plural,  Shkjio- 
NOTH,  in  the  title  of  Hab.  3,  are  supposed  to  li.iye  t)een  musical 
terms  to  guide  In  rendering  the  song.  At  the  close  ol  tne 
chapter  the  author  refers  the  ode  "to  the  chief  musician  on 
my  stringed  Instruments."  The  term  may  suggest  the  move- 
ment in  Interpreting  the  music  set  to  It. 

Shoshannim  and  Shushan-eduth,  In  the  titles  of  Psalrns 
45,  60,  69,  80,  .seem  to  Indicate  the  manner  In  whicli  these 
Psalms  were  to  be  rendered.  Klmchl,  Trcmeiiius,  and  Elch- 
horn  render  it  "hexachorda,"  that  is,  that  In  singing  these 
Psalms  instruments  of  six  strings  were  to  accompany.

spread  forth  his  hands  toward 
heaven, 

14  And  '"said,  O  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  there  is  no  God  like  thee 
in  the  heaven,  nor  in  the  earth; 
which  deepest  ''covenant,  and 
sJiewcst  ^mercy  unto  thy  serv- 
ants, ^that  walk  before  thee  with 
all  their  hearts: 

15  Thou  which  hast  kept  with 
thy  servant  Da'vid  my  father 
"that  which  thou  hast  promised 
him;  and  spakest  with  thy 
mouth,  and  hast  fulfilled  it  with 
thine  hand,  as  it  is  this  day. 

16  Now  therefore,  O  Lord 
God  of  Ls^ra-el,  keep  with  thy 
servant  Da'vid  my  father  "that 
which  thou  hast  promised  him, 
saying.  There  shall  not  fail  thee 
a  man  in  my  sight  to  sit  upon 
the  throne  of  Is'ra-el;  *yet  so 
that  thy  children  take  heed  to 
their  way  to  walk  in  my  law,  as 
thou  hast  walked  before  me. 

17  Now  then,  O  Lord  God  of 
I,/ra-el,  let  thy  word  l>e  verified, 
which  thou  hast  spoken  unto  thy 
servant   Da'vid. 

18  But  will  God  in  very  deed 
dwell  with  men  on  the  earth  ? 
behoKl,  '^heaven  and  the  heaven 
of  heavens  cannot  contain  '^thee; 
how  much  less  this  *house  which 
I  have  built! 

19  Have  respect  therefore  to  the 
prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  to  his 
supplication,  O  Lord  my  God, 
to  hearken  unto  the  cry  and  the 
prayer  which  thy  servant  pray- 
eth  before   thee: 

20  That  thine  eyes  may  be  open 
upon  this  '^house  day  and  night, 
ujion  the  place  whereof  thou 
hast  said  that  thou  wouldest  put 
thy  name  there;  to  liearken  unto

the  prayer  which  thy  servant 
prayeth  toward  this  place. 

21  Hearken  therefore  unto 
the  supplications  of  thy  servant, 
and  of  thy  people  Ls'ra-el,  which 
they  shall  make  toward  this 
place :  hear  thou  from  thy  dwel- 
ling place,  eveti  from  ''heaven; 
and  when  thou  hearest,  forgive.

neighbour,  and  an  ^oath  be  laid 
upon  him  to  make  him  'swear,

4  T[  '"Then  the  "king  and  all  the

thousand  "oxen,  and  an  hundred 
and  twenty  thousand  ''sheep:  so 
the  king  and  all  the  people  ''dedi- 
cated the  'house  of  God. 

6  And  the  ''priests  Waited  on 
their  offices:  the  ''Le'vites  also 
with  instruments  of  *musick  of 
tiie  Lord,  wliich  'Da'vid  the 
king  "had  made  to  "praise  the 
Lord,  because  his  '"mercy  en-

7  Moreover  Sol'o-mon  hal- 
lowed the  middle  of  the  '-'court

had  made  was  not  able  to  re- 
ceive the  burnt  offerings,  and  the

the  entering  in  of  'Ha'math  unto 
the  ^river  of  'E'gyjit. 

9  And  in  the  eighth  day  they 
made  a  solemn  assembly:  for 
they  kept  the  ''dedication  of  the 
altar  seven  days,  and  the  feast 
seven  days. 

10  And  on  the  three  and  twen- 
tieth day  of  the  seventh  "month 
he  sent  the  people  away  into

Lord  had  shewed  unto  Da'vid,

wilt  walk  before  me,  as  Da'vid 
tliy  father  walked,  and  do  ac- 
cording to  all  that  I  have  com-

Dii'vid  thy  father,  saying,  There

14  lie  appoints  the  priests  and  Levitcs  to 
their  places.  17  IHs  navy  fetches  gold 
from  Ophlr. 

AND  it  came  to  ])ass  at  the  end 
of   twenty  years,   wherein 
"Sol'o-mon  had  built  the  ''hou.se 
of  the  Lord,  and  his  owm  'house, 
2  That  the  cities  which  ''Hu'- 
ram    had     'restored     to     Sol'o- 


mon,  Sol'o-mon  built  them,  and 


caused  the  children  of  I.s'ra-el  to 
dwell  there. 

3  And  "SoFo-mon  went  to 
'Ila'math-zd'bah,  and  prevailed 
against  it. 

4  And  he  built  ''Tad'mor  in  the 
wilderness,  and  all  the  ^'store  cit- 
ies, wdiich  he  built  in  ''Ha'math. 

5  Also  he  built  'Bf'th-hd'ron 
the  upjier,  and  Beth-hd'ron  the 
nether,  fenced  ^cities,  with  ^walls, 
'gates,  and  bars; 

6  And  "'Ba'al-ath,  and  all  the 
"store  cities  that  ''SoKo-mon  had, 
and  all  the  "chariot  cities,  and 
the  cities  of  the  "horsemen,  and 
all  that  Sol'o-mon  desired  to 
-build  in  ^Jc-ru'sa-lem,  and  in 
"Leb'a-non,  and  throughout  all 
tlie  land  of  his  dominion. 

7  ^  As  for  all  the  people  tJiat 
were  left  of  the  ''Hit'tites,  and 
the  *Am'6r-Ites,  anil  the  'Per'Tz- 
zltes,  and  the  "Hi'vites,  and  the 
"Jeb'u-sites,  which  were  not  of 
Is'ra-el, 

8  But  of  their  children,  who 
were  left  after  them  in  the  land, 
whom  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el 
consumed  not,  them  did  "Sol'o- 
mon  •■'make  to  pay  "tribute  until 
this  day. 

9  But  of  the  children  of  Js'ra-el 
did  Sol'o-inon  make  no  servants 
f(jr  his  work;  but  they  were  ^men 
of  wai-,  and  chief  of  his  ''cap- 
tains, and  <"aptains  of  his  "char- 
iots and  ''hor.semen. 

10  And  these  were  the  chief  of 
king  Sdl'o-mon's  officers,  even 
two  hundred  and  fifty,  that  bare 
rule  over  the  ])eople. 

11  ^  And  Sol'o-mon  brought 
up  the  daughter  of  ^Pha'radh 
out  of  the  "city  of  Da'vid  unto 
the  house  that  he  had  built  for 
her:  for  he  said,  My  wife  shall 
not  dwell  in  the  house  of  ''J  )a'- 
vid  king  of  Is'ra-el,  because  tlie 
places  are  holy,  whereunto  the

on  the  ''akar  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  had  built  before  the  porch, 

13  Even  after  a  certain  rate 
''every  day,  offering  according 
to  the  ''commandment  of  ]\[o'- 
.ses,  on  the  sabbaths,  and  on  the 
'new  moons,  and  on  the  solemn 
'feasts,  three  times  in  the  year, 
even  in  the  ''^feast  of  unleavened 
bread,  and  in  the  'feast  of  weeks, 
and  in  the  feast  of  '"tabernacles. 

14  And  he  appointed,  according 
to  the  order  of  ''Da'vid  his  fa- 
ther, the  courses  of  the  "priests 
to  their  service,  and  the  °Le^'ltes 
to  their  charges,  to  praise  and 
minister  before  the  priests,  as  the 
duty  of  every  day  required:  the 
^' ^porters  also  by  their  courses 
at  every  gate:  for  so  had  Da'vid 
the  man  of  God  commanded. 

15  And  they  departed  not  from 
the  commandment  of  the  king 
unto  the  priests  and  Le'vltes  con- 
cerning any  matter,  or  concern- 
ing the  treasures. 

16  Now  all  the  Avork  of  ''Ssro- 
mon  was  prepared  imto  tlie  day 
of  the  foundation  of  the  ''■^house 
of  the  Lord,  and  until  it  was 
finished.  So  the  house  of  the 
Lord  was  perfected. 

17  T[  Then  went  ''Sol'o-mon  to 
'E'zi-on-ge'ber,  and  to  ''E'loth,  at 
the  sea  side  in  the  land  of  "E'dom . 

IS  And  '"Hu'ram  sent  him  by 
the  hands  of  his  servants  'ships, 
and  ^s(  rvants  that  had  knowl- 
edge ol  the  sea;  and  they  went 
with  the  servants  of  *S6Fo-mon 
to  ^O'phir,  and  ^took  thence 
four  hundred  and  fifty  "talents 
of  ''gold,  and  brought  them  to 
kins:  Sol'o-mon. 


CHAPTER  9 

The  queen  of  Slieba  admires  the  wisdom  of 
Solomon.  13  Solomon's  gold  and  tlie  use 
made  of  it.  23  The  presents  received  by 
him.  25  His  chariots  and  horsemen.  29 
His  reign  and  death. 

"  A  ND  when  the  ''-'^queen  of 
-t\.  ''She'ba  heard  of  the  fame 
of  '^Sol'o-mon,  she  came  to  prove 
Sol'o-mon  with  hard  (juestions 
at  Me-ru'sfi-lem,  with  a  very 
great  company,  and  "camels  that 
bare  ''spices,  and  'gold  in  abun- 
dance, and  ■'precious  stones:  and 
when  she  was  come  to  Sol'o- 
mon,  she  communed  with  him 
of  all  that  was  in  her  heart. 

2  And  '^Sol'o-mon  told  her  all 
her  questions:  and  there  was 
nothing  hid  from  Sol'o-mon 
which  he  told  her  not. 

3  And  when  the  *queen  of 
''She'ba  had  seen  the  ^wisdom 
of  Sol'o-mon,  and  the  house  that 
he  had  built, 

4  And  the  meat  of  his  table,  and 
tlie  sitting  of  his  servants,  and 
the  attendance  of  his  *ministers, 
and  their  apparel;  his  'cupbear- 
ers also,  and  their  apparel;  and 
his  ascent  by  which  he  went  up 
into  the  '"house  of  the  Lord; 
there  was  no  more  spirit  in 
her. 

5  And  ''she  said  to  the  king.  It 
was  a  true  report  which  I  heard 
in  mine  own  land  of  thine  acts, 
and  of  thy  ^wisdom: 

6  Howbeit  I  believed  not  their 
words;  until  I  came,  and  mine 
eyes  had  seen  it:  and,  behold,  the 
one  half  of  the  greatness  of  thy 
^wisdom  was  not  told  me:  for 
thou  exceedest  the  fame  that  I 
heard. 

7  Hap]:)y  are  thy  men,  and 
happy  are   these    thy   servants.

8  Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy 
Got!,  which  delighted  in  "thee 
"to  set  thee  on  his  ^throne,  to  be 
king  for  the  IvOrd  thy  God:  be- 
cause thy  God  loved  Ls'ra-el,  to 
establish  them  for  ever,  there- 
fore made  he  thee  king  over 
them,  to  do  judgment  and  jus- 
tice. 

9  And  *she  'gave  the  ''king  an 
hundred  and  twenty  ''talents  of 
'gold,  and  of  ''s])ices  great  abun- 
dance, and  ^precious  stones:  nei- 
ther was  there  any  such  spice  as 
the  queen  of  '^She'ba  gave  king 
Sol'o-mon. 

10  And  the  servants  also  of 
^Ilu'ram,  and  the  servants  of 
'^Sol'o-mon,  which  brought  *gold 
from  'O'phir,  brought  "algum 
trees  and  'precious  stones. 

11  And  the  king  made  of  the 
"algum  trees  terraces  to  the 
"'house  of  the  Lord,  and  to 
the  king's  "palace,  and  "'•  ■''harj^s 
and  "psalteries  for  ^singers:  and 
there  were  none  such  seen  before 
in  the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

12  And  king  "Sol'o-mon  gave 
to  the  *(|ueen  of  ^She'ba  all  her 
desire,  whatsoever  she  asked,  be- 
side that  which  she  had  brought 
unto  the  king.  So  she  turned, 
and  went  away  to  her  own  land, 
she  and  her  servants. 

1.3  ^  Now  the  weight  of  ''gold 
that  came  to  "SoKo-mon  in  one 
year  was  six  hundred  and  three- 
score and  six  ^talents  of  gold; 

14  Beside  tJiat  wJn'rh  chapinen 
and  ^merchants  l)rought.  And 
all  the  kings  of  ^A-ra'bT-a  and 
governors  of  the  country  brought 
-^■^gold  and  "•"silver  to  Sol'o- 
inon. 

15  ^    And    king    "SoKo-mon 


made  two  liun(h-cd  targets  of 
beaten  ''gold:  six  hundred  'shek- 
els of  beaten  gold  went  to  one 
target. 

16  And  three  hundred  'shields 
made  lie  of  beaten  gold:  three 
hundred  'shekels  of  gold  went  to 
one  shield.  And  the  king  put 
them  in  the  ^'house  of  the  forest 
of  'Ix^b'a-non. 

17  T[  ^Moreover  the  king  made 
a  great  '"throne  of  ■^ivory,  and 
overlaid  it  with  jiure  ''gold. 

IS  And  there  were  six  steps  to 
the  '"throne,  with  a  footstool  of 
''gold,  which  were  fastened  to  the 
throne,  and  stays  on  each  side  of 
the  sitting  place,  and  two  lions 
standing  by  the  stays: 

19  And  twelve  lions  stood  there 
on  the  one  side  and  on  the  other 
upon  the  six  steps.  I'here  was 
not  the  like  made  in  any  king- 
dom. 

20  ^  And  all  the  drinking  ves- 
sels of  king  '^SoKo-mon  ^vere  of 
''gold,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the 
''house  of  the  forest  of  'Leb'a- 
non  tvere  of  pure  gold:  none  were 
of  ''silver;  it  was  tiot  any  thing 
accounted  of  in  the  days  of  Sol'- 
o-mon. 

21  For  the  king's  ships  "went 
to  "Tiir'shi.'-h  with  the  servants 
of  ''Ilu'ram:  every  three  years 
once  came  the  sliips  of  Tilr'- 
shish  ''bringing  ''gokl,  and  ''sil- 
ver, 'ivory,  and  ''aj)es,  and  *pca- 
cocks. 

22  And  king  Sol'o-mon  passed

''horsemen;  whom  he  bestowed 
in  the  chariot  ^cities,  and  with 
the  king  at  '^Je-rii'sa-lem.

kings  ''from  the  ''river  even  unto 
the  land  of  the  ^Phi-lis'tines,  and 
to  the  border  of  ■'E'gypt.

and  out  of  all  lands.

reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  10 

The  people,  assembled  at  Shechem  to  crown 
Rchoboam.  through  Jeroboam  ask  of  him 
a  redress  of  grievances.  6  He  refuses 
their  request,  and  answers  them  roughly. 
16  Ten  tribes  revolt  and  kill  Hadoram. 


'A. 


ND  "Re-ho-bO'am  went  to 


chem  were  all  '^Ig'ra-el  come  to 
make  him  king. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
*'JSr-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat, 
who  vas  in  'E'gypt,  whiiher  he 
had  "fled  from  the  presence  of 
''Sol'o-mon  the  king,    heard  it, 

680 


that  Jer-o-bo'am  returned  out  of 
E'gypt. 

3  .\nd  they  sent  and  called  him. 
So  *Jer-o-bo'am  and  all  '^I.s'ra-el 
came  and  spake  to  ''Re-ho-bo'- 
am,  'saying, 

4  'Thy  •'father  made  our  '"-'yoke 
grievous:  now  therefore  ease 
thou  somewhat  the  grievous 
^servitude  of  thy  father,  and  his 
heavy  yoke  that  he  ])ut  upon  us, 
and  we  will  serve  thee. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  Come 
again  unto  me  after  three  days. 
And  the  people  departed. 

6  Tf  And  king  ''Re-ho-bo'am 
took  "'counsel  with  the  old  men 
that  had  stood  before  'SoFo-mon 
his  father  while  he  yet  lived,  say- 
ing, What  counsel  give  ye  nie  to 
return  answer  to  this  people  ? 

7  And  they  spake  unto  him, 
saying.  If  "thou  be  kind  to  this 
people,  and  please  them,  and 
speak  good  words  to  them,  they 
will  be  thy  servants  for  ever. 

8  But  ''he  "' ^'forsook  the  coun- 
sel which  the  old  men  gave 
him,  and  took  counsel  with  the 
''young  men  that  were  brought 
up  with  him,  that  stood  before 
him. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  What 
'"advice  give  ye  that  we  may  re- 
turn answer  to  this  people,  which 
have  spoken  to  me,  saying,  Ease 
somewhat  the  *''yoke  that  thy 
father  did  put  upon  us  ? 

10  And  the  ^young  men  that 
were  brought  uji  with  him  spake 
unto  him,  saying.  Thus  shalt 
thou  answer  the  people  that 
spake  unto  thee,  saying.  Thy  fa- 
ther made  our  '^ ''yoke  heavy,  but 
make  thou  it  somewhat  lighter 
for  us;  thus  shalt  thou  say  unto 
them,  My  little  finger  shall  be 
thicker  than  my  father's  loins. 

11  For  whereas  my  father  put 
a  heavy  ^-'yoke  upon  you,  I 
will  put  more  to  your  yoke:

the  people  came  to  ''Ke-ho-bo'- 
am  on  the  thinl  day,  as  the  king 
bade,  saying.  Come  again  to  me 
on  the  third  day. 

13  And  the  *'"king  answered 
them  roughly;  and  king  Re-ho- 
bo'am  forsook  the  ^counsel  of 
the  old  men, 

14  And  answered  them  after 
the  advice  of  the  *young  men, 
saying,  My  'father  made  yoin- 
*'^yoke  heavy,  but  "I  will  add 
thereto:  my  father  ''chasti.sed  you 
with  ^vhips,  but  I  will  chastise 
you  with  'scorpions. 

15  So  the  king  hearkened  not 
unto  the  people:  "for  the  cause 
was  of  '"God,  that  the  Lord 
might  perform  his  word,  which 
he  spake  by  the  hand  of  ^A-hi'- 
jah  the  Shi'Io-nlte  to  Jer-o-bo'- 
am  the  son  of  Ne'bat. 

16  And  when  all  I.s'ra-el  saw 
that  the  king  would  not  heark- 
en unto  them,  the  ^people  an- 
swered the  king,  saying,  What 
portion  have  we  in  ^Da'vid  ?  and 
we  have  none  inheritance  in  the 
son  of  '^Jes'se:  ''every  man  to 
your  '^tents,  O  Ls'ra-el:  and  now, 
Da'vid,  see  to  thine  own  house. 
So  all  Ls'ra-el  went  to  their  tents. 

17  But  as  for  the  children  of 
I.s'ra-el  that  dwelt  in  the  cities  of 
'^Ju'dah,  *Re-ho-bo'am  reigned 
over  them. 

18  Then  king  ''Re-ho-bo'am 
sent  ^ria-do'ram  that  was  over 
the  ^•"•''tribute;  and  the  children 
of  Ls'ra-el  *s toned  him  with 
stones,  that  he  died.  But  king 
Re-ho-bo'am  made  speed  to  get 
him  up  to  Jiis  'chariot,  to  flee  to 
*Je-rii'sa-lem. 

19  And 'ls'ra-el  rebelled  against 
the  house  of  Da'vid  unto  this 
day. 


CHAPTER  11 

Rehoboam  is  forbiilden  to  war  against  Is- 
rael,    b  lie  strengthens  Ins  klnfjdoin.      13 

The  priests  and  Leviles,  and  such  as 
feared  God,  forsaken  bii  Jeroboam, 
strengthen  the   kingdom    of   Judah.     18 

The  wives  and  children  of  Rehoboam. 

'^  A  ND  when  *Re-ho-bo'am  was 
i^  come  to  '^Je-ru'sa-lem,  he 
gathered  of  the  house  of '' Ju'dah 
and  '^Ben'ja-min  an  hundred 
and  fourscore  thousand  chosen 
men,  which  were  warriors,  to 
fight  against  Ls'ra-el,  that  he 
might  bring  the  kingdom  again 
to  Re-ho-bo'ani. 

2  But  the  word  of  the  liORD 
came  to  ''Shem-a-l'ah  the  man  of 
God,  saying, 

3  Speak  unto  ''Re-ho-bo'am  the 
son  of  ''Sol'o-mon,  king  of  ''Ju'- 
dah,  and  to  all  Ls'ra-el  in  Ju'dah 
and  Ben'ja-min,  saying, 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight  against 
your  brethren:  return  every  man 
to  his  house:  for  *this  thing  is 
done  of  'me.  And  they  obeyed 
the  words  of  the  I^ORD,  and  re- 
turned from  going  against  Jer- 
o-bo'am. 

5  Tl  And  "Re-ho-bo'am  dwelt 
in  '^Jc-ni'sa-lem,  and  built  cities 
for  defence  in  Ju'dah. 

6  He  built  even  '^Beth'-le-hem,

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
°Re-ho-})6'am  had  estab- 
lished the  ^kingdom,  and  had 
strengthened  himself,  '^he  ''•*'for- 
sook  the  law  of  the  Lord,  and 
all  Ls'ra-el  with  him. 
2  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in 


the  fifth  year  of  king  "Re-ho- 
bo'am  ^Shl'shttk  king  of  ''E'gypt 
''came  up  against  Me-n/sa-lem, 
because  they  had  transgressed 
against  the  Lord, 

3  With  twelve  hundred  ^char- 
iots, and  threescore  tiiousand 
^horsemen:  and  the  people  urrc 
without  number  that  came  with 
him  out  of  ''E'gvpt;  the  ^Lu'- 
bim.s,  the  Suk'ki-irn.s,  and  the 
E-thi-d'pi-an.s. 

4  And  he  took  the  fenced  '"cit- 
ies which  pertaiiied  to  *Ju'dah, 
and  came  to  *Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  Then  came  "Shem-a-i'ah  the 
"prophet  to  "Re-ho-bo'ain,  and 
to  the  princes  of  Ju'dah,  that 
were  gathered  together  to  '^Je- 
ni'sa-lem  because  of  ^Shi'shak, 
and  ''said  unto  them,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Ye  have  forsaken  me, 
and  therefore  have  I  also  *left 
you  in  the  hand  of  Shi'shak. 

6  Whereupon  the  princes  of 
Is'ra-el  and  the  king  '"'^humbled 
themselves;  and  they  said,  The 
Lord  is  'righteous. 

7  And  when  the  Lord  saw  that 
they  '■'^humbled  themselves,  the 
word  of  the  Lord  "came  to 
"Shem-a-i'ah,  saying,  They  have 
humbled  themselves;  therefore 
"I  will  not  destroy  them,  but  I 
will  a'rant  them  some  deliver- 
ance;  and  my  wrath  shall  not 
be  poured  out  upon  *Je-rii'sa- 
lem  by  the  hand  of  ''Shi'shak. 

8  Nevertheless  they  '"shall  be 
his  servants;  that  they  may  know 
my  service,  and  the  service  of  the 
kingdoms  of  the  countries. 

9  So  /Shl'shtlk  king  of  ''E'gypt 
came  up  against  'Je-rii'sa-lem, 
and  took  away  the  treasures  of 
the  *house  of  the  Lord,  and  the

he  took  all:  he  carried  away  also 
the  'shields  of  ''gold  which  "Sol'- 
o-mon  had  made. 

10  Instead  of  which  king 
'^Re-ho-bo'am  made  ''shields  of 
^brass,  and  committed  them  to 
the  hands  of  the  chief  of  the 
guard,  that  kept  the  entrance 
of  the  king's  house. 

11  And  when  the  king  entered 
into  the  -^house  of  the  Lord,  the 
guard  came  and  fetched  them, 
and  brought  them  again  into  the 
guard  chamber. 

12  And  when  he  ''•''humbled 
himself,  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
turned  from  him,  that  he  would 
not  destroy  him  altogether:  and 
also  in  Mu'dah  Hhings  went  well. 

13  *\  So  king  ''Re-ho-bo'am 
strengthened  himself  in  Ue-ru'- 
sa-lem,  and  reigned:  for  Re-ho- 
bo'am  tins  one  and  forty  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reio-n,  and 
lie  reigned  seventeen  years  in 
Je-rii'sa-lcm,  the  city  which  the 
Lord  had  chosen  out  of  all  the 
tribes  of  Ls'ra-el,  to  put  his  name 
there.  And  his  mother's  name^t'O.? 
*Na'a-mah  an  'Am'mon-it-ess. 

14  And  he  did  evil,  because  he 
'"prepared  not  his  "heart  to  seek 
the  Lord. 

15  Now  the  acts  of  '^■"Re-ho- 
bo'am,  first  and  last,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  ^book  of  *Shem~ 
a-l'ah  the  ''prophet,  and  of  *Id'- 
do  the  seer  concerning  'genealo- 
gies ?  And  there  were  "wars  be- 
tween Re-ho-bo'am  and  ^Jer-o- 
bo'am  continually. 

16  And  '^Rc-ho-bd'am  "'slept 
with  his  fathers,  and  w^as  buried 
in  the'city  of  Da'vid:  and^A-bi'- 
jah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.

He  declares  the  righteousness  of  his  cause. 
13  Trusting  in  God,  he  overcomes  Jero- 
boam.  21  The  wives  and  children  of  Abijah. 

NOW  in  the  eighteenth  year 
of  king  **  Jer-o-bo'am  began 
''A-bl'jah  to  reign  over  '^Jii'dah. 


2  He  reigned  three  years  in 
''Je-ru'sa-lem.  His  mother's 
name  also  tuas  '^Mi-cha'iah  the 
daughter  of  tJ'ri-el  of  Gib'^e-ah. 
And  there  was  'war  between 
*A-bl'jah  and  "Jer-o-bo'am. 

3  And  "A-bl'jah  set  the  battle 
in  array  with  an  army  of  valiant 
''men  of  war,  even  four  hundred 
thousand  chosen  men:  "Jer-o- 
bo'am  also  set  the  battle  in  array 
against  him  with  eight  hundred 
thousand  chosen  men,  being 
mighty  men  of  valour. 

4^  And  ^\-bi'jah  stood  up 
upon  mount  Zem-a-ra'im, 
which  is  in  ^mount  ''E'phm-im, 
and  *said.  Hear  me,  thou  "Jer- 
o-bo'am,  and  all  Ls'ra-el; 

5  *Ought  ye  not  to  know  that 
the  Lord  God  of  I§'ra-el  gave 
the  kingdom  over  Ls'ra-el  to 
'Da'vid  for  ever,  even  to  him 
and  to  his  sons  by  a  ^'covenant 
of  'salt  ? 

6  'Yet  "Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of 
"'Ne'bat,  the  servant  of  "Sol'o- 
mon  the  son  of  ^Da'vid,  is  risen 
up,  and  hath  rebelled  against  his 
lord. 

7  And  there  are  gathered  unto 
him  vain  men,  the  children  of 
Be'li-al,  and  have  strengthened 
themselves  against  "Re-ho-bo'- 
am  the  son  of  "Sol'o-mon,  when 
Re-ho-bo'ara  was  young  and  ten- 
derhearted, and  could  not  with- 
stand them. 

8  *And  now  ye  think  to  with- 
stand the  kingdom  of  the  Lord 
in  the  hand  of  the  sons  of  ^Da'- 
vid;  and  ye  he  a  great  multitude, 
and  there  are  with  you  golden 
'calves,  which  Jer-o-bo'am  made 
you  for  '■gods. 

9  Have  ye  not  cast  out  the 
*priests  of  the  Lord,  the  sons  of

young  bullock  and  seven  rams, 
the  same  may  be  a  priest  of  them 
thai  are  no  gods. 

10  But  as  for  us,  "the  Lord  is 
our  God,  and  "we  have  not  for- 
saken him;  and  the  "priests, 
wiiich  minister  unto  the  IvORD, 
are  the  .sons  of  Aar'on,  and  tne 
Le'vites  wait  upon  their  busi- 
ness : 

11  And  "they  burn  unto  the 
Lord  every  morning  and  e\ery 
evening  •^burnt  sacrifices  and 
sweet  ^incense:  the  shewbread 
also  set  they  in  order  upon  the 
pure  ^table;  and  the  "candlestick 
of  *gold  with  the  lamps  thereof, 
to  burn  every  evening:  for  we 
keep  the  charge  of  the  Lord  our 
God;  but  ye  have  forsaken  him. 

12  \nd,  behold,  God  himself  is 
with  us  for  our  captain,  and  his 
'^' '^priests  with  sounding  ^trump- 
ets  to  cry  alarm  against  you.  O 
children  of  Ls'ra-el,  fight  ye  not 
against  the  Lord  God  of  your 
fathers ;  for  ye  shall  not  prosper. 

13  ^  But  'Jer-o-bo'am  "caused 
an  ''ambushment  to  come  al)out 
behind  them:  ,so  they  were  be- 
fore Ji/dah,  and  the  ambush- 
ment  was  behind  them. 

14  And  when  Ju'dah  looked 
back,  behold,  the  battle  was 
before  and  behind:  and  tliey 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  and 
the  '^■''priests  sounded  with  the 
•"trumpets. 

15  Then  the  men  of  ^Ju'dah 
gave  a  ^shout:  and  as  the  men  of 
Ju'dah  shouted,  it  came  to  pass, 
*that  '-'"God  smote  ^Jer-o-bd'am 
and  all  «I.s'ra-el  before  "A-bi'jah 
and  Ju'dah. 

16  And  the  children  of  I.s'ra-el 
fled  before  Ju'dah:  and  God 
'"delivered  them  into  their  hand. 

17  And  "A-bl'jah  and  his  peo- 
ple slew  them  with  a  great 
slaughter:  so  there  fell  down 
slain  of  Is'ra-el  five  hundred 
ttiousand  chosen  men. 


18  Thus  the  children  of  "Ls'- 
ra-el  were  brought  under  at  that 
time,  and  the  children  of  '  Ju'dah 
prevailed,  because  they  ''relied 
upon  the  Lord  God  of  their 
fathers. 

19  And  "A-bl'jah  i)ursued  after 
Mcr-o-bd'ani,  and  took  cities 
from  him,  *Beth'-el  with  the 
toAvns  thereof,  and  Jcsh'a-nah 
with  the  towns  thereof,  and 
''pyphra-in  with  the  towns  there- 
of. 

20  Neither  did  ''Jer-o-bd'am  re- 
cover strength  again  in  the  days 
of  °A-bI'jah:  and  *the  Lord 
'struck  him,  and  he  died. 

21  t  But  "A-bi'jah  waxed 
mighty,  and  married  "fourteen 
wives,  and  begat  twenty  and  two 
sons,  and  sixteen  daughters. 

22  And  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  "A-bl'jah,  and  his  ways,  and 
his  sayings,  are  written  in  the 
^'"stoiy  of  the  "'prophet  ^Id'do.

'^A'sa  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 
In  his  days  the  ^land  was  quiet

2  And  ^'"A'sa  ''did  that  which 
was  good  and  right  in  the  eyes

ot  the  Ethiopi- 
ans so  many  that 


in  ^Ju'dah:  for  the  land  had 
"rest,  and  he  had  no  war  in  those 
years;  because  the  "Lord  had 
given  him  rest. 

7  Therefore  he  said  unto  ^Ju'- 
dah,  Let  us  build  these  '"cities, 
and  make  about  them  ^walls, 
and  ^towers,  ''gates,  and  bars, 
while  the  land  is  yet  before  us; 
because  *we  have  sought  the 
Lord  our  God,  we  have  sought 
him,  and  he  hath  given  us  "rest 
on  every  side.  So  they  built  and 
prospered. 

8  And  ''A'sa  had  an  army  of 
men  that  bare  ^-'targets  and 
'•"spears,  out  of  ''Ju'dah  three 
hundred  thousand;  and  out  of 
"Ben'ja-min,  that  bare  '■  ^shields 
and  ^drew  ^bows,  two  hundred 
and  fourscore  thousand:  all 
these  were  mighty  men  of  ^val- 
our. 

9  \  And  there  came  out  against 
them  Ze'rah  the  E-thi-o'pi-an 
with  an  "host  of  a  tliousana 
thousand,  and  three  hundred 
''chariots;  and  came  unto  ^Ma- 
re'shah. 

10  Then  ^A'sa  went  out  against 
him,  and  they  set  the  ''battle  in 
array  in  the  valley  of  Zeph'a- 
thah  at  '^Mfi-re'shah. 

11  And  '^A'sa  -'cried  unto  the 
Lord  his  God,  and  said.  Lord, 
^it  is  nothing  with  thee  to  help, 
whether  with  many,  or  with 
them  that  have  no  power:  ^help 
us,  O  Lord  our  God;  ''for  we 
^rest  on  thee,  and  in  thy  name 
we  go  against  this  multitude.  O 
Lord,  thou  art  our  God;  let  not 
man  prevail  against  thee. 

12  So  'the  Lord  smote  the 
'■^E-thi-o'pi-ans  before  '^A'sa,  and 
before  Mu'dah;  and  the  E-thi'5- 
pi-an.s  fled. 

13  And  ''A'sa  and  the  people 
that  were  with  him  pursued  them 
unto  '"Ge'rar:  and  'the  *'E-thi- 
o'pi-ans  were  overthrown,  that 
they   could   not   recover   them-

selves;  for  'they  were  destroyed 
before  the  Lord,  and  before  his 
host;  and  they  carried  away  very 
much  '*sj)oiI. 

14  And  they  smote  all  the  cities 
round  about  '"Ge'rar;  for  the 
"fear  of  the  Lord  came  upon 
them:  and  they  spoiled  all  the 
cities;  for  there  was  exceeding 
much  "spoil  in  them. 

15  They  smote  also  the  ''tents 
of  cattle,  and  carried  away  sheep 
and  camels  in  abundance,  and 
returned  to  *Je-rii'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER  15 

Asa  with  Judah  and  many  of  Israel  make 
a  solemn  covenant  tvlth  God.  16  He  re- 
moves Maachah  Ms  mother  for  her  idola- 
try. 18  He  brings  dedicated  things  into 
the  house  of  God.  and  enjoys  a  long  peace. 


the  I'^Spirit   of   God 
came  upon  Az-a-ri'ah  the 
son  of  O'ded: 

2  And  he  went  out  to  meet 
''A'sa,  and  '^said  unto  him,  Hear 
ye  me,  A'sa,  and  all  Mu'dah  and 
Ben'ja-min;  The  Lord  is  with 
you,  while  ye  be  with  him;  and 
^if  "ye  seek  him,  ''he  will  be 
found  of  you;  but  if  ye  forsake 
liim,  he  Svill  forsake  you. 

3  Now  for  a  long  season  *I,s'- 
ra-el  hath  been  without  the  true 
God,  and  without  a  'teaching 
Spriest,  and  without  ^law. 

4  But  when  '"they  in  their 
"troul:)le  did  turn  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  sought  him, 
he  was  found  of  them. 

5  And  in  those  times  there  was 
no  peace  to  him  that  went  out, 
nor  to  him  that  came  in,  but 
great  vexations  were  upon  all  the 
inhabitants  of  the  countries. 

6  And  ^'"nation  was  destroyed 
of  nation,  and  city  of  city:  for 
God  did  vex  them  with  all  ''ad- 
versity. 

7  ^Be  ye  strong  therefore,  and 
let  not  your  hands  be  ^weak:  ''for 
your  work  shall  be  rewarded. 

8  Tf  And  when  ''A'sa  heard 
these  words,  and  the  prophecy  of

OMed  the  ])roplu't,  lie  took  cour- 
age, and  *])ut  away  the  ^abom- 
inable idols  out  of  all  the  land 
of  '^Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  and 
out  of  the  cities  which  he  had 
taken  from  ^mount  'E'phril-im, 
and  renewed  the  "altar  of  the 
Lord,  that  was  before  the 
'porch  of  the  Lord. 

9  And  he  gathered  all  Mu'dah 
and  Ben'ja-min,  and  the  "stran- 
gers with  them  out  of  ^E'phra- 
im  and  ^Ma-nas'seh,  and  out  of 
^Sim'e-on:  for  they  fell  to  him 
out  of  "Is'ra-el  in  abundance, 
when  they  saw  that  the  Lord 
his  God  icas  with  him. 

10  So  they  gathered  themselves 
together  at  ''Je-ru'sa-lem  in  the 
third  '^month,  in  the  fifteenth 
year  of  the  reign  of  ''A'sa. 

11  And  they  offered  unto  the 
Lord  the  same  time,  of  the 
^spoil  which  they  had  brought, 
seven  hundred  oxen  and  seven 
thousand  sheep. 

12  And  they  ''entered  into  a 
^covenant  to  ^seek  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers  with  all 
their  heart  and  with  all  their 
soul; 

13  •'That  whosoever  would  not 
seek  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el 
\should  be  put  to  death,  whether 
small  or  great,  whether  man  or 
woman. 

14  And  they  'swan;  imto  the 
Lord  with  a  loud  voice,  and  with 
*shouting,  and  witii  'trumpets, 
and  with  cornets. 

15  And  all  Ju'dah  'rejoiced  at 
the  'oath:  for  they  had  sworn 
with  all  their  heart,  and  ''sought 
him  with  their  whole  desire;  and 
"'he  was  found  of  them:  and  the 
Lord  gave  them  "rest  round 
about. 

16  ^f  And  also  concerning  "Ma'- 
a-chah  the  mother  of  ''A'sa  the 
king,  he  removed  her  from  heing 


(jueen,  because  she  had  ^made  an 
'idol  in  a  ''grove:  and  A'sa  ''cut 
down  her  ^idol,  and  stamped  it, 
and  burnt  it  at  the  ^brook  Kid'- 
ron. 

17  But  the  'high  places  were 
not  taken  away  out  of  Ls'ra-el: 
nevertheless  the  "heart  of  '''^A'sa 
was  "perfect  all  his  days. 

IS  And  he  brought  into  the 
•''house  of  God  the  things  that 
his  father  had  ^dedicated,  and 
^that  he  himself  had  dedicated, 
"silver,  and  *gold,  and  ves- 
sels. 

19  And  '^there  was  no  more  war 
unto  the  five  and  thirtieth  year 
of  the  reign  of  A'sa. 

CHAPTER  IG 

Asa,  by  the  nld  of  the  Syrians,  diverts  Ba- 
asha  from  huiUiUig  Ramah.  7  Being  re- 
proved by  Hananl.  he  puts  him  in  prison. 
12  When  smitten  with  disease,  he  seeks 
not  to  God,  but  to  the  physicians.  13  His 
death  arid  burial. 

IN  the  six  and  thirtieth  year 
of  the  reign  of  "A'sa  "-'Ba'- 
a-sha  king  of  ''Is'ra-el  came  up 
against  ''Ju'dah,  and  built  'Ra'- 
mah,  to  the  intent  that  he  might 
let  none  go  out  or  come  in  to 
A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah. 

2  Then  "A'sj^  brought  out  ''sil- 
ver and  ''gold  out  of  the  treasures 
of  the  'house  of  the  Lord  and  of 
the  'king's  house,  and  sent  to 
'Ben-haMad  king  of  'Syr'i-a, 
that  dwelt  at  '"Da-mas'cus,  say- 
ing. 

3  There  is  a  "league  between 
me  and  thee;,  as  there  was  be- 
tween my  father  and  thy  father: 
l)eh()ld,  I  have  sent  thee  "silver 
and  ''gold;  go,  break  thy  "league 
with  *Ba'a-sha  king  of  ''Is'ra-el, 
that  he  may  depart  from  me. 

4  And  ''licn-IiaMud  hearkened 
unto  king  "A'.sa,  and  sent  the 
''captains  of  his  Armies  against 
the  cities  of  '^T.s'ra-el;  and  they

5  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
*Ba'a-sha  heard  it,  that  he  left 
off  building  of  ^Ra'mah,  and  let 
his  work  cease. 

6  Then  °A'sa  the  king  took  all 
Ju'dah;  and  they  carried  away 
the  stones  of  ^Ra'mah,  and  the 
timber  thereof,  wherewith  ''Ba'- 
a-sha  'was  building;  and  he 
built  therewith  ^Ge'ba  and 
^Miz'pah. 

7  ^  And  at  that  time  H?i-na'nl 
the  ^seer  came  to  '^A'sa  king  of 
*  Ju'dah,  and  "^said  unto  him.  Be- 
cause thou  '^hast  relied  on  the 
king  of  ''Syr'i-a,  and  not  relied 
on  the  Lord  thy  God,  therefore 
is  the  host  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a 
escaped  out  of  thine  hand. 

8  Were  not  the  ''E-thi-o'pi-an.s 
and  the  ^Lu'bim.5  a  huge  host, 
with  very  many  ''chariots  and 
'horsemen  ?  yet,  because  thou 
didst  rely  on  the  Lord,  ^he  de- 
livered them  into  thine  hand. 

9  ^For  the  'eyes  of  the  Lord 
run  to  and  fro  throughout  the 
whole  earth,  to  shew  himself 
strong  in  the  behalf  of  '"tliem 
whose  heart  is  "perfect  toward 
him.  '^Herein  thou  hast  done 
foolishly:  therefore  from  hence- 
forth thou  shalt  have  wars. 

10  Then  ''■"A'sa  was  ^wroth 
with  the  seer,  and  *'''put  him  in 
a  prison  house;  for  *//e  ivas  in  a 
rage  with  him  because  of  this 
thing.  And  A'sii  'oppressed  some 
of  the  people  the  same  time. 

11  ^  And,  behold,  the  acts  of 
"A'sa,  first  and  last,  lo,  they  are 
written  in  the  "book  of  the  kings 
of  Mu'dah  and  Ts'ra-el. 


12  And  '^A'sa  in  the  thirty  and 
ninth  year  of  his  reign  was  dis- 
eased in  his  feet,  until  his  ''dis- 
ease was  exceeding  great:  yet  '"in 
his  disease  he  sought  not  to  the 
Lord,  but  to  the  *physicians. 

13  And  "A'sa  ^slept  with  his  fa- 
thers, and  died  in  the  one  and 
fortieth  year  of  his  reign. 

14  And  they  buried  him  in  his 
own  ^sepulchres,  which  he  had 
^made  for  himself  in  the  ^city 
of  Da'vid,  and  "laid  him  in  the 
bed  which  was  filled  with  sweet 
odours  and  divers  kinds  of 
''spices  prepared  by  the  '^apothe- 
caries' ^art:  and  they  made  a 
very  great  ''burning  for  him. 

CHAPTER  17 

Jehoshapliat,  succeeding  Asa.  reigns  well, 
and  prospers.  7  He  sends  LevUes  with 
the  princes  to  teach  in  Judah.  10  His 
enemies  bring  him  presents  and  tribute. 
12  His  greatness,  and  his  cajjtains  and 
armies. 

ND  "Je-hosh'a-phat  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead,  and 
strengthened  himself  against 
*I.s'ra-el. 

2  And  he  placed  forces  in  all  the 
fenced  '^cities  of  '' Ju'dah,  and  set 
''garrisons  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah, 
and  in  the  cities  of  E'phra-im, 
which  ''A'sa  his  father  had  taken. 

3  And  the  "Lord  was  with 
'^■'*Je-h6sh'a-phat,  because  he 
'walked  'in  the  first  ways  of  his 
father  ^Da'vid,  and  sought  not 
unto  'Ba'al-im; 

4  But  sought  to  the  Lord  God 
of  his  father,  and  "'walked  in  his 
commandments,  and  not  after 
the  doings  of  Ls'ra-el. 

5  Therefore  the  "Lord  ''stab- 
lished  the  kingdom  in  his  hand; 
and  all  ''Ju'dah  brought  to 
'^Je-hosh'a-phat   "presents;   and

he  *took  away  the  '^high  phices

answered  him,  I  am  as  thou  art, 
and  my  people  as  thy  people; 
and  '^•^we  will  he  with  thee  in 
the  war. 

4  T[  And  °Je-h6sh'a-phat  said 
unto  the  '^king  of ' Is'ra-el,  '-"'En- 
quire, I  pray  thee,  at  the  word  of 
the  Lord  to  day. 

5  Therefore  the  ''king  of  *Is'- 
ra-el  gathered  together  of 
"prophets  four  hundred  men, 
and  said  unto  them.  Shall  we  go 
to  '^Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle, 
or  shall  I  forbear?  And  they 
said,  Go  up;  for  God  will  deliver 
it  into  the  king's  hand. 

6  ^  But  «Je-h6sh'a-phat  said, 
Is  there  not  here  a  prophet  of  the 
Lord  besides,  that  we  might 
enquire  of  him  ? 

7  And  the  king  of  4.s'ra-el  said 
unto  "Je-hosh'a-})hat,  There  is 
yet  one  man,  by  whom  we  may 
enquire  of  the  Lord:  but  I 
"hate  him;  for  he  never  prophe- 
sied good  unto  me,  but  always 
evil:  the  same  is  ^]\Ii-ca'iah  the 
son  of  Im'la.  And  Je-hosh'- 
a-phat  said.  Let  not  the  king 
say  so. 

8  And  the  ''king  of  *Is'ra-el 
called  for  one  of  his  officers,  and 
said.  Fetch  quickly  ^Ml-ca'iah 
the  son  of  Im'la. 

9  And  the  king  of  Ls'ra-el  and 
'^Je-hosh'a-phat  king  of  ^  Ju'dah 
sat  either  of  them  on  his  ^throne, 
clothed  in  their  robes,  and  they 
sat  in  ^a  void  place  at  the  en- 
tering in  of  the  ''gate  of  ^Sa- 
ma'ri-a;  and  all  the  "prophets 
]5rophesied  before  them. 

10  And  *Zed-e-kl'ah  the  son  of 
'Che-na'a-nah  had  made  him 
"horns  of  iron,  and  said,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  With  these  thou 
shalt  push  ^'Syr'i-a  until  they  be 
consumed. 

11  And  all  the  "prophets  pro- 
phesied so,  saying,  Go  up  to 
"Ra'moth-gil'e-ad,  and  prosper: 


for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into 
the  hand  of  the  king. 

12  And  the  messenger  that 
went  to  call  ^Ml-ca'iah  spake  to 
him,  saying,  "'Behold,  the  words 
of  the  "prophets  declare  good  to 
the  king  with  one  assent;  ^let  thy 
word  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  be 
like  one  of  their' s,  and  speak 
thou  good. 

13  And  ^' 2'Ml-ca'iah  said,  As 
the  Lord  liveth,  even  what  my 
God  ^saith,  that  will  I  speak. 

14  And  when  he  was  come  to 
the  king,  the  king  said  unto  him, 
°Ml-ca'iah,  shall  we  go  to  "Ra'- 
moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or  shall 
I  forbear  ?  And  he  said,  '^Go  ye 
up,  and  prosper,  and  they  shall 
be  delivered  into  your  hand. 

15  And  the  king  said  to  him, 
How  many  times  shall  I  adjure 
thee  that  thou  say  nothing  but 
the  truth  to  me  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord  ? 

16  Then  he  ''said,  I  did  ''see 
all  Is'ra-el  scattered  upon  the 
mountains,  as  sheep  that  have 
no  shepherd:  and  the  Lord 
said.  These  have  no  master;  let 
them  return  therefore  every  man 
to  his  house  in  peace. 

17  And  the  ''king  of  I/ra-el 
said  to  ^Je-hosh'a-phiit,  Did  I 
not  tell  thee  that  he  would  not 
prophesy  good  unto  me,  but 
evil  ? 

18  Again  he  said,  Therefore 
hear  the  word  of  the  Lord;  I 
''saw  the  Lord  sitting  upon  his 
"throne,  and  all  the  'host  of 
heaven  standing  on  his  right 
hand  and  on  his  left. 

19  And  the  Lord  said.  Who 
shall  entice  ^A'hab  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el, that  he  may  go  up  and  fall 
at  ''Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  ?  And  one 
spake  saying  after  this  manner, 
and  another  saying  after  that 
manner. 

20  Then  there  came  out  a  spirit,

said,  I  will  entice  him.  And  die 
Lord  said  unto  him,  Where- 
with ? 

21  And  he  said,  I  will  go  out, 
and  be  a  ^lying  spirit  in  the 
mouth  of  all  his  ^prophets.  And 
the  LoHD  said,  Thou  shalt  en- 
tice him,  and  thou  shalt  also  pre- 
vail: go  out,  and  do  ei'cn  so. 

22  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  hath  put  a  'lying  spirit  in 
the  mouth  of  these  tliy  *proph- 
ets,  and  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
evil  against  thee. 

23  ^  Then  ^Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son 
of  "'Che-na'a-nah  came  near, 
and  "'"smote  "JMi-ca'iah  upon 
the  cheek,  and  ^said.  Which  way 
went  the  'Spirit  of  the  Lord 
from  me  to  speak  unto  thee  ? 

24  And  "Mi-ca'iah  said,  Be- 
hold, thou  shalt  see  on  that  day 
when  thou  shalt  go  into  an  ^in- 
ner chamber  to  hide  thyself. 

25  Then  the  ^king  of  Ls'ra-el 
said.  Take  ye  "Mi-ca'iah,  and 
carry  him  back  to  '"Amnion  the 
governor  of  the  city,  and  to  ''Jo'- 
ash  the  king's  son; 

26  And  say,  *Thus  saith  the 
king,  "^''Put  "this  felloiv  in  the 
"prison,  and  feed  him  with 
"bread  of  affliction  and  with 
•^water  of  affliction,  until  I  re- 
turn in  peace. 

27  And  "Ml-ca'iah  said.  If  thou 
certainly  return  in  peace,  then 
hath  not  the  Lord  spoken  by 
me.  And  he  said.  Hearken,  all 
ye  people. 

28  So  the  'king  of  Is'ra-el  and 
"Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of 
Ju'-dah  went  up  to  ^Ra'moth- 
gil'e-ad. 

29  And  the  'king  of  Is'ra-el 
said  unto  "Je-hGsh'a-pha.t,  I  will 
disguise  myself,  and  will  go  to 
the  battle;  but  put  thou  on  thy 
robes.  So  the  king  of  Ls'ra-el 
disguised  himself;  and  they  went 
to  the  battle. 

30  Now  the  king  of  ^Syr'i-a  had 


commanded  the  \'aptains  of  the 
"chariots  that  ivere  with  him, 
saying.  Fight  ye  not  with  small 
or  great,  save  only  with  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el. 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  captains  of  the  "chariots  saw 
''Je-hosh'a-phat,  that  they  said, 
It  i.f  the  king  of  ls'ra-el.  There- 
fore they  ^compassed  about  him 
to  fight:  but  Je-hosh'a-phat 
"^cried  out,  and  the  Lord  helj^ed 
him;  and  God  moved  them  to 
depart  from  him. 

32  For  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  the  "^captains  of  the  "char- 
iots perceived  that  it  was  not  the 
king  of  Ls'ra-el,  they  turned  back 
again  from  pursuing  him. 

33  And  a  certain  man  ''drew  a 
bow  at  a  venture,  and  smote  the 
'king  of  Ls'ra-el  between  the

he  said  to  his  chariot  man.  Turn 
thine  hand,  that  thou  mayest 
carry  me  out  of  the  liost;  for  I 
am  wounded.

that  day:  howbeit  the  'king  of

from  '"Be'er-she'ba  to  ^mount

back  unto  the  Lord  God  of

5  And  he  set  "judges  in  the  land

of  ^Ju'dah,  city  by  city, 

6  And  said  to  the  ^judges,  Take

10  And  now,  behold,  the  chil- 
dren of  *Am'm6n  and  ^i\l5'ab 
and  mount  ^'Se'ir,  whom  thou 
wouldest  not  let  Is'ra-el  invade,

one  helped  to  destroy  another. 

24  And  when  Ju'dah  came 
toward  the  watch  tower  in  the 
wilderness,  they  looked  unto 
the  multitude,  and,  behold,  they 
were  dead  bodies  fallen  to  the 
earth,  and  none  escaped. 

25  And  when  °Je-h6sh'a-phat 
and  his  people  came  to  take 
away  the  ""spoil  of  them,  they 
found  among  them  in  abundance 
both  riches  Avitli  the  dead  bodies, 
and  precious  jewels,  which  they 
stripped  oft"  for  themselves,  more 
than  they  could  carry  away:  and 
they  were  three  days  in  gather- 
ing of  the  sjjoil,  it  was  so  much. 

26  And  on  the  fourth  day  they 
assembled  themselves  in  the  val- 
ley of  Ber'a-chah;  for  there  they 
''•■^blessed  the  Lord:  therefore 
the  name  of  the  same  place  was 
called.  The  valley  of  Ber'a-chah, 
unto  this  day. 

27  Then  they  returned,  every 
man  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-rii'sfi- 
lem,  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  in  the 
forefront  of  them,  to  go  again  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem  with  ^joy;  for  the 
Lord  had  made  them  to  rejoice 
over  their  enemies. 

28  ^And  they  came  to  "Je-ru'- 
sa-lem  with  ''•''psalteries  and 
''harps  and  ''trumpets  unto  the 
Oiouse  of  the  I^ord. 

29  And  the  ^fear  of  God  was  on 
all  the  kingdoms  of  those  coun- 
tries, when  they  had  heard  that 
"the  Lord  fought  against  the 
enemies  of  Is'ra-el. 

30  So  the  realm  of  *Je-h6sh'a- 
phat  was  quiet:  for  his  'God 
gave  him  ^rest  round  about. 

31  ^  And  *Je-h6sh'a-phat 
reigned  over  Mu'dah:  he  was 
thirty  and  five  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned 


twenty  and  five  years  in  "  Je-rii'- 
sa-lem.  And  his  mother's  name 
was  '"A-zu'bah  the  daughter  of 
'"Shil'hl. 

32  And  "he  walked  "in  the  way 
of  A'sa  his  father,  and  departed 
not  from  it,  ^'^doing  that  which 
was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord. 

33  Howbeit  the  ''high  places 
were  not  taken  away:  for  as 
yet  the  people  had  not  prepared 
their  hearts  unto  the  God  of 
their  fathers. 

34  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
"^Je-hosh'a-phat,  first  and  last, 
behold,  they  are  written  in  the 
^'^book  of  Me'hu  the  son  of  'Ha- 
na'nl,  ^who  is  mentioned  in  the 
book  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

35  ^  And  after  this  did  KJe- 
hosh'a-philt  king  of  ^Jii'dah 
"join  himself  with  "A-ha-zi'ah 
king  of  "'Is'ra-el,  who  did  very 
wickedly: 

36  And  he  "joined  himself  with 
him  to  make  ^sliips  to  go  to 
^Tiir'shish:  and  they  made  the 
ships  in  ^E'zi-on-ga'oer. 

37  Then  E-li-e'zer  the  son  of 
Do'da-vah  of  ^I\Ia-re'shah  pro- 
phesied against  '^  Je-h5sh'a-phat, 
saying.  Because  thou  hast 
'^joined  thyself  with  '^A-ha-zi'ah, 
the  Lord  hath  broken  thy 
works.  And  the  ''ships  were  bro- 
ken, that  they  were  not  able  to 
go  to  ^Tar'shish,

of  °Je-h6sh'a-pliut,  Az-a-ii'ah, 
and  Je-hl'el,  and  Zech-a-rl'ah, 
and  Az-a-ri'ah,  and  Mi'charl, 
and  Sheph-a-tl'ah:  all  these  nrrc 
the  sons  of  Je-lu")sii'a-phat  kino- 
of  Ls'ra-el. 

3  And  their  father  gave  them 
great  gifts  of  '"silver,  and  of 
''gold,  and  of  precious  things, 
with  fenced  ''cities  in  ''Ju'dah: 
but  the  *• 'kingdom  gave  he  to 
''■^Je-ho'-ram;  because  he  was 
the  ^firstborn. 

4  Now  when  'Me-ho'ram  was 
risen  up  to  the  kingdom  of  his 
father,  he  strengthened  himself, 
and  ^•'"•"•slew  all  his  brethren 
with  the  sword,  and  divers  also 
of  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  T[  '^Je-hr/rani  iras  thirty  and 
two  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  eight  years 
in  ^Je-rii'sa-lem. 

6  And  '^he  walked  "in  the  way 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  like  as 
did  the  house  of  ^A'hrib:  for  he 
had  the  ^daughter  of  ''A'hab  to 
wife:  and  he  wrought  that  which 
icas  evil  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord. 

7  Ilowbeit  the  *IiORD  would 
not  destroy  the  house  of  ^Dii'vid, 
because  of  the  "covenant  that  he 
had  made  with  Da\id,  and  as  he 
promised  to  give  a  Uight  to  him 
and  to  his  sons  for  ever. 

8  Tl  In  his  days  the  "EMom-Ttes 
revolted  from  under  the  domin- 
ion of  'Mu'dah,  and  made  them- 
selves a  king. 

9  Then  ''Je-hd'ram  went  forth 
with  his  princes,  and  all  his 
"chariots  with  him:  and  he 
^■^rose  up  by  night,  and  smote 
the  ^E'dom-Ites  which  compass- 
ed him  in,  and  the  ^captains  of 
the  chariots. 

10  So  the  '^E'dom-Itcs  revolted 
from  under  the  hand  of  *JuMah 
unto  this  day.    The  same  time 


also  did  "^Lib'nah  revolt  from 
under  his  hand;  because  he  had 
forsaken  the  Lord  Cod  of  his 
fathers. 

11  INIoreover  he  made  ''high 
places  in  the  mountains  of  Ju'- 
dah,  and  ''caused  the  inhabitants 
of  ''Je-ni'sa-lem  to  c(miniit  forni- 
cation, and  compelled  Ju'dah 
tltcrdo. 

12  ^  And  there  came  a  writ- 
ing to  "him  from  ''E-lfjah  the 
prophet,  saying.  Thus  saitii  the 
Lord  God  of  Da'vid  thy  father, 
Because  'thou  hast  not  walked 
in  the  ways  of  ^Je-hosh'a-phat 
thy  father,  nor  in  the  ways  of 
^A'sa  king   of  "Ju'dah, 

13  But  hast  walked  in  the  way 
of  the  kings  of  'Is'ra-el,  and  hast 
'"made  ''Ju'dah  and  the  inhabi- 
tants of  ''Je-rii^sa-lem  to  go  a 
whoring,  like  to  the  whoredoms 
of  the  house  of  "A'lutb,  and  also 
hast  "slain  thy  brethren  of  thy 
father's  house,  which  tvere  better 
than  thyself: 

14  Behold,  with  a  great  ^plague 
will  the  Lord  smite  thy  people, 
and  thy  children,  and  thy  wives, 
and  all  thy  goods: 

15  And  thou  shalt  have  great 
sickness  by  ^disease  of  thy  ''bow- 
els, until  thy  bowels  fall  out  by 
reason  of  the  sickness  day  b)^ 
day. 

IG  T[  Moreover  the  ''Lord 
stirred  up  against  ''Je-ho'ram 
the  spirit  of  the  'Phi-lis'tines, 
and  of  the  "A-ra'bi-c-n.s,  that 
were  near  die  "E-thi-<d'])i-ans : 

17  And  they  came  up  into  ''Ju'- 
dah, and  brake  into  it,  and  car- 
ried away  all  the  substance  that 
was  found  in  the  "'king's  house, 
and  his  sons  also,  and  his  wives; 
so  that  there  was  never  a  son 
left  him,  save  ^Je-hoVhaz,  the 
youngest  of  his  sons.

smote  "him  in  his  ''bowels  with  an

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in 
process  of  time,  after  the  end  of 
two  years,  his  ''bowels  fell  out  by 
reason  of  his  sickness:  so  he  died 
of  sore  ^diseases.  ^And  his  peo- 
ple made  no  burning  for  him, 
like  the  burning  of  his  fathers. 

20  Thirty  and  tw'o  years  old 
was  ''he  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  in  Me-ru'sa-lem 
eight  years,  and  departed  with- 
out being  desired.  Howbeit  they 
buried  him  in  the  city  of  Da'vid, 
but  not  in  the  ^sepulchres  of  the 
kings. 

CHAPTER  22 

Ahaziah's  wicked  reign.  5  Through  his 
confederacy  with  Joram  the  son  of  Ahab, 
he  is  slain  by  Jehu.  10  Atlialiah  usurps 
the  kingdom;  and  destroys  all  the  seed 
royal,  save  Joash. 

AND  the  inhabitants  of  '^Je- 
ru'sa-lem  made  "A-ha-zl'- 
ah  his  youngest  son  king  in  his 
stead:  for  the  band  of  men  that 
came  with  the  ^A-ra'bi-an.s  to 
the  camp  had  slain  all  the  eldest. 
So  A-ha-zl'ah  the  son  of  '^Je- 
ho'-ram  king  of  *■  Ju'dah  reigned. 

2  Forty  and  two  years  old  was 
"A-ha-zi'ah  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  one  year 
in  "Je-'-i/sa-Iem.  His  mother's 
name  also  was  ''Ath-a-ll^ah  the 
daughter  of  ''(Jm'ri. 

3  ''He  also  walked  ''in  the  ways 
of  the  house  of  '^A'hab:  for  his 
'"^mother  was  his  counsellor  to 
do  wickedly. 

4  AVherefore  *''he  did  evil  in  the 
sightof  the  Lord  like  the  house 
of  Whab:  for  they  were  his 
counsellors  after  the  death  of  his 
father  to  his  destruction. 

5  *He  walked  also  after  their 
coun.sel,  and  went  with  "'Je-ho'- 


ram  the  son  of  *A'hab  king  of 
"Is'ra-el  to  war  against  "Hjiz^i- 
el  king  of  ^Syr'i-a  at  'Ra'moth- 
gil'e-ad :  and  the  Syr'i-ans  smote 
Jo'ram. 

6  And  he  returned  to  be  heal- 
ed in  ''Jez're-el  because  of  the 
wounds  which  were  given  him  at 
'Ra'mah,  when  he  fought  with 
"Haz'a-el  king  of  ^Syr'i-a.  And 
"Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  '^Je-ho'- 
ram  king  of  '^JfiMah  went  down 
to  see  '"Je-lio'ram  the  son  of 
'A'hab  at  Jez're-el,  because  he 
was  sick. 

7  And  the  ^destruction  of  ''A- 
ha-zi'aii  'was  of  God  by  coming 
to  '"Jo'rain:  for  when  he  was 
come,  he  went  out  with  Je-ho'- 
ram  against  *Je'hu  the  son  of 
Nim'shl,  "whom  the  "Lord  had 
anointed  to  ^cut  off  the  house 

of    'k'hiih. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  *Je'hu  "was  executing 
judgment  upon  the  house  of 
'A'hab,  and  found  the  jjrinces 
of  *Ju'dah,  and  the  sons  of  the 
brethren  of  *A-ha-zi'ah,  that 
ministered  to  A-ha-zl'ah,  he 
slew  them. 

9  And  he  sought  *A-ha-zi'ah: 
and  they  caught  him,  (for  he 
was  hid  in  '"Sa-ma'ri-a,)  and 
brought  him  to  *Je'hO:  and 
when  they  had  slain  him,  tiiey 
buried  him:  Because,  said  they, 
he  is  the  son  of  ^  Je-hosh'a-phat, 
"who  sought  the  Lord  with  all 
his  heart.  So  the  house  of  A-ha- 
zl'ah  had  no  powder  to  keep  still 
the  kingdom. 

10  ^  But  when  Ath-a-ll'ah  the 
mother  of  A-ha-zl'ah  saw  that 
her  son  was  dead,  ^she  arose  and 
destroyed  all  the  seed  royal  of 
the  house  of  Ju'dah. 

11  But  "Je-ho-shab'e-ath,  the 
daughter    of    the    king,    ^-^took

and  stole  hiin  from  among  the

put  hiin  and  his  ^nurse  in  a  bed-

the  daughter  of  king  ^Je-ho'rani, 
the  wife  of  "Je-hoi'a-da  tlie 
''priest,  (for  slie  was  the  sister  of 
.\-ha-zl'ah,)  hid  him  from  *Ath- 
a-li'ah,  so  that  she  slew  liim  not. 
12  And  ''he  was  with  them  liitl 
in  the  'house  of  God  six  years: 
and  ^\th-a-h'ah  reigned  over  the 
land. 

CHAPTER  23 

Jeholada  makes Joash  king.  12  Athallah 
is  slain.  16  Jeholada  restores  the  uwr- 
ship  of  God. 

AND  in  the  seventh  year 
"Je-hoi'a-thi  strengthened 
himseh',  and  took  the  ''captains 
of  hundreds,  Az-a-rl'ah  the  son 
of  Jer'o-ham,  and  Ish'ma-el  the 
son  of  '^Je-ho-ha/nan,  and  Az-a- 
li'ah  the  son  of  O'bed,  and  Ma- 
a-se'iah  tlie  son  of  Ad-a-i'ah, 
and  E-lish'a-phat  the  son  of 
Zich'rl,  into  '^covenant  with  him. 

2  And  they  went  about  in  '^Jf/- 
dah,  and  gathered  the  ''Le'vltes 
out  of  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah, 
and  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of 
T.s'ra-el,  and  they  came  to  ^Je- 
rii-sfi'lem. 

3  And  all  the  congregation 
made  a  '^•''covenant  T*,'ith  the  king 
in  the  house  of  God.  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Behold,  Hhc 
king's  son  shall  reign,  as  the 
Lord  hath  said  of  the  sons  of 
Da'vid. 

4  This  if  the  thing  that  ye  shall 
do;  A  third  ])art  of  you  entering 
on  the  'sabbath,  of  the  'priests 
and  of  the  T^e'vltes,  shall  br

T)  And  a  third  part  .s'hnll  he  at 
the  '"king's  house;  and  a  third 
part  at  the  gate  of  the  founda- 
tion: and  all  the  people  shall  be 
in  the  "courts  of  the  "house  of 
the  Lord. 


G  But  let  none  come  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  save  the 
''priests,  and  they  that  minister 
of  the  ^Le'vites;  they  shall  go  in, 
for  ^they  are  holy:  but  all  the 
people  shall  keep  the  watch  of 
the  Lord. 

7  And  the  ''Le'vltes  shall  com- 
pass   the  *king    round    about.

his  hand;  and

his  weapons  m 
whosoever  else 
liouse,  'he  shall 
but  be  ye  with 


tlie  king  when  he  cometh  in,  and 
when  he  goeth  out. 
S  So  the  ^Le'vites  and  all  '' Ju'- 
tlah  did  according  to  all  things 
that  "Je-hoi'a-da  the  Spriest  had 
commanded,  and  took  every 
man  his  men  that  were  to  come 
in  on  the  'sabbath,  with  them 
that  were  to  go  out  on  the  sab- 
bath: for  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest 
dismissed  not  the  ''courses. 

9  Moreover  "Je-hoi'a-da  the 
'Spriest  delivered  to  the  ''cap- 
tains of  hundreds  *• 'spears,  and 
bucklers,  and  ^'"shields,  that  Jiad 
been  king  ^Da'vid's,  which  were 
in  the  "house  of  God. 

10  And  he  set  all  the  people, 
every  man  having  his  weapon  in 
his  hand,  from  the  right  side  of 
the  "temple  to  the  left  side  of  the 
temple,  along  by  the  ""altar  and 
the  temple,  by  the  king  round 
about. 

11  Then  they  brought  out  the 
king's  ^son,  and  put  upon  him 
the  ^crown,  and  gave  him  the 
'^•^■"testimony,  and  made  him 
king.  And  ''Jc-hoi'a-da  and  his 
sons  '^anointed  him,  and  said, 
God  save  the  king. 

12  1[  Now  when  '^-''Ath-a-Il'ali 
heard  the  noise  of  the  people 
running  and  praising  the  king, 
she  came  to  the  people  into  the 
'house  of  the  Lord:

the  land  ''rejoiced,  and  sounded 
with  trumpets,  also  the  'singers

14  Then  *  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest 
brought  out  the  'captains  of  hun- 
dreds that  were  set  over  the  host, 
and  said  unto  them,  Have  her 
forth  'of  the  ranges:  and  whoso 
followeth  her,  let  him  be  slain 
with  the  sword.  For  the  priest 
said,  Slay  her  not  in  the  ''house 
of  the  Lord. 

15  So  they  ^laid  hands  on  her; 
and  when  she  was  come  to  the 
entering  of  the  '"horse  gate  by 
the  "king's  house,  they  slew 
her  there. 

16  ^  "And  ''Je-hoi'a-dd  made  a 
^covenant  between  him,  and  be- 
tween all  the  people,  and  be- 
tween the  king,  that  they  should 
be  the  Lord's  people. 

17  Then  *all  the  people  went  to 
the  house  of  '^Ba'al,  and  *brake 
it  down,  and  *brake  his  altars 
and  his  images  in  pieces,  and 
slew  ']Mat'tan  the  priest  of  Ba'al 
before  the  altars. 

18  Also  *Je-hoi'a-da  appointed 
the  offices  of  the  ^house  of  the 
Lord  by  the  hand  of  the  "priests 
the  Le'vltes,  whom  "Da'vid  had 
distributed  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  to  offer  the  ""burnt  offer- 
ings of  the  Lord,  as  it  is  written 
in  the  ^law  of  Mouses,  with  ''re- 
joicing and  with  ^singing,  as  it 
was  ordained  by  Da'vid. 

19  And  he  set  the  ^porters  at 
the  gates  of  tlie  ''house  of  the 
Lord,  that  none  which  was

enter  in.

the  governors  of  the  people,

Lord,  and  of  the  congregation 
of  Is'ra-el,  for  the  ^"'tabernacle 
of  witness  ? 

7  For  the  sons  of  ^Ath-a-ll'ah, 
that  wicked  'woman,  had  "bro- 
ken up  the  'house  of  God;  and 
also  all  the  dedicated  things  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord  "did  they 
bestow  upon  ''Ba'al-iin. 

8  And  at  the  king's  command- 
ment they  madp  a  chest,  and  set 
it  without  at  the  gate  of  the 
^house  of  the  Lord. 

9  And  they  made  a  procla- 
mation through  '"Ju'dah  and 
*Jerii'sa-lem,  to  bring  in  to 
the  Lord  the  ^' ^collection  that 
'Mouses  the  servant  of  God  laid 
upon^Is'ra-el  in  the  wilderness. 

10  And  all  the  princes  and  all 
the  people  rejoiced,  and  brought 
in,  and  cast  into  the  chest,  until 
they  had  made  an  end. 

11  Now  it  came  to  pass,  that 
at  what  time  the  chest  was 
brought  unto  the  king's  office  by 
the  hand  of  the  ^Le'vites,  and 
when  they  saw  that  flierc  %vas 
much  "money,  the  king's  ^scribe 
and  the  ^-^igh  priest's  officer 
came  and  emptied  the  chest,  and 
took  it,  and  carried  it  to  his  place 
again.  Thus  tliey  did  day  b)- 
day,  and  gathered  money  in 
abundance. 

12  And  tlie  king  and  Je-hoi'a- 
da  gave  it  to  such  as  tiid  the  work 
of  the  service  of  the  %(Hise  of  the 
IvORD,  and  hired  ''masons  and 
*car|)enters  to  ^repair  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  also  such  as 
wrought  "iron  and  ''brass  to 
mend  the  liouse  of  the  Lord. 

13  So  the  workmen  wrought, 
and  the  work  was  perfected  by 
them,  and  they  set  the  '^•'^'house 
of  God  in  his  state,  and  strength- 
ened it. 

14  And  when  they  had  finished 
'^it,  they  brought  the  rest  of  the 
*money  before  the  ^king  and  "Je- 
hoi'a-da,    whereof    were    made 


vessels  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  even  vessels  to  minister, 
and  to  oWcY  witlial,  and  ''s|)oons, 
and  vessels  of  ^gold  and  ■'silver. 
And  they  offered  ^burnt  offer- 
ings in  the  house  of  the  Lord 
continually  all  the  days  of  ''Je- 
hoi'a-da. 

15  ^  But  ''Je-hoi'a-da  waxed 
old,  and  was  full  of  days  when 
he  died;  ^an  hundred  and  thirty 
years  old  %vas  he  when  he  died. 

16  And  they  buried  him  in 
the  '"city  of  Da\id  "among  the 
kings,  because  he  "had  done 
good  in  Is'ra-el,  both  toward 
God,  and  toAvard  his  house. 

17  Now  after  the  death  of 
''Je-hoi'a-da  came  the  princes 
of  ^^Ju'dah,  and  made  obeisance 
to  the  ''king.  Then  the  *king 
hearkened  unto  them. 

18  x\nd  they  left  the  '^house  of 
the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers, 
and  'served  ''•^groves  and  idols: 
and  'wrath  came  upon  ''Ju'dah 
and  '"Je-ru'sa-lem  for  this  their 
trespass. 

19  Yet  "he  sent  "prophets  to 
them,  to  bring  them  again  unto 
the  Lord;  and  they  "testified 
against  them:  but  they  ^would 
not  give  ear. 

20  And  the  ^' ^Spirit  of  God 
^came  uj^on  "Zech-a-rl'ah  the 
son  of  ''Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest, 
which  stood  above  the  j^eople, 
and  '^said  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
God,  ^Vhy  transgress  ye  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord, 
that  ye  cannot  prosper  ?  because 
ye  have  forsaken  the  Lord,  ''he 
hath  also  forsaken  you. 

21  And  they  ''conspired  against 
him,  and  '■''stoned  him  with 
stones  at  the  commandment  of 
the  ''king  in  the  '^court  of  the 
diouse  of  the  Lord. 

22  Thus  "'^To-ash  the  king 
'remembered  not  the  kindn(>ss 
which  *Je-hoi'a-da  liis  f;it!ier 
had  done  to  him,  but  slew  his

son.  And  when  he  "'died,  he 
said,  The  Lord  look  upon  it, 
and  require  it. 

23  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  the  year,  that  the  host  of 
"Syr'i-a  "came  up  against  ^him: 
and  they  came  to  Ju'dah  and 
Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  destroyed  all 
the  princes  of  the  people  from 
among  the  peo])le,  and  sent  all 
the  '^' 'spoil  of  them  unto  the 
king  of  ''Da-mas'cus. 

24  For  the  army  of  the  Syr'i-ans 
came  with  a  small  company  of 
men,  and  the  *LoRD  'delivered 
a  very  great  host  into  their  hand, 
because  "they  had  forsaken  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers.  So 
they  executed  judgment  against 
*Jo'ash. 

25  And  when  they  were  de- 
parted from  him,  (for  they  left 
him  in  great  "diseases,)  his  own 
servants  '^conspired  against  him 
for  the  blood  of  the  sons  of  Je- 
hoi'a-da  the  priest,  and  "'slew 
him  on  his  bed,  and  he  died:  and 
they  buried  him  in  the  ^city  of 
Da'vid,  but  they  buried  him  not 
in  the  ^sepulchres  of  the  kings. 

26  And  these  are  they  that  con- 
s[)ired  against  him;  'Za'bad  the 
son  of  "Shim'e-ath  an  ^Am'mon- 
It-ess,  and  "Je-hoz'a-batl  the  son 
of  '^Shim'rith  a  '^INIo'ab-it-ess: 

27  Now  concerning  his  sons, 
and  the  greatness  of  the  burdens 
laid  upon  ''him,  and  the  ^re}:»air- 
ing  of  the  'house  of  God,  behold, 
they  are  Avritten  in  the  ''story  of 
the  ^book  of  the  kings.  And

his  stead.

14  He  serves  the  gods  of  Edam,  and  de-

He  challenges  Joash,  and  is  overcome.  27 
He  is  slain  by  conspiracy . 


"A 


M-A-ZFAH  ivas  twentv  and 


began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned 


twenty  and  nine  years  in  *Je- 
ru'sa-lem.  And  his  mother's 
name  ivas  '^Je-ho-ad'dan  of  Je- 
rii'sa-lem. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
but  not  with  a  perfect  heart. 

3  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
tlie  kingdom  was  established  to 
him,  that  he  '^slew  his  servants 
that  had  killed  the  king  his 
father. 

4  But  he  slcAV  not  their  chil- 
dren, but  did  as  it  is  written  in 
the  '^law  in  the  book  of  Mo'.se§, 
where  the  Lord  commanded, 
saying,  ''The  fathers  shall  not 
die  for  the  children,  ^'''neither 
shall  the  children  die  for  the  fa- 
thers, but  every  man  shall  die 
for  his  own  sin. 

5  ^  Moreover  ''Am-a-zi'ah 
gathered  Ju'dah  together,  and 
made  them  'captains  over  thou- 
sands, and  ^captains  over  hun- 
dreds, according  to  the  houses 
of  their  fathers,  throughout  ''all 
Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min:  and  he 
numbered  them  from  twenty 
years  old  and  above,  and  found 
them  three  hundred  thousand 
choice  men,  able  to  go  forth  to 
war,  that  could  handle  'spear 
and  "shield. 

6  He  hired  also  an  hundred 
thousand  miglity  "men  of  valour 
out  of  "Ls'ra-el  for  an  hundred 
^talents  cf  ^silver. 

7  But  there  came  a  ''man  of 
God  to  him,  saying,  O  king,  let 
not  the  army  of  Ls'ra-el  go  with 
thee;  for  the  Lord  is  not  with 
Is'ra-el,  to  wit,  with  all  the  chil- 
dren of  E'{)hra-im. 

8  But  if  thou  wilt  go,  Mo  it,  be 
strong  for  the  battle:  God  shall 
make  thee  fall  before  tlie  enemy: 
for  God  hath  *power  to  4ielp, 
and  to  cast  down.

which  I  have  given  to  tlie  "army 
of  "Ls'ra-el?  And  the  man  of 
God  answered,  "The  Lord  is 
able  to  give  thee  much  more 
than  this. 

10  Then  "Am-a-zl'ah  separated 
them,  to  tvit,  "tlie  army  that  was 
to  come  to  liim  out  of  E'phrji-iin, 
to  go  home  again:  wherefore 
their  "anger  was  greatly  kindled 
against  '-Ju'dah,  and  they  re- 
turned home  in  great  anger. 

1 1  And  "Am-a-zi'ah  -strength- 
ened himself,  and  led  forth  his 
people,  and  went  to  the  valley  of 
'"salt,  and  smote  of  tlie  ^children 
of   ^Se'ir  ten  thousand. 

12  And  other  ten  thousand  left 
alive  did  the  children  of  Ju'dah 
carry  away  captive,  and  brought 
them  unto  the  top  of  the  rock, 
and  ^cast  "them  down  from  the 
to])  of  the  rock,  that  they  all  were 
broken  in  ])ieces. 

13  But  the  soldiers  of  the  army 
which  "Am-a-zT'ah  sent  back, 
that  they  should  not  go  with  him 
to  battle,  fell  upon  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah,  from  ^Sa-ma'ri-a  even 
unto  '^Beth-ho'ron,  and  smote 
three  thousand  of  them,  and 
took  much  ^spoil. 

14  ^  Now  it  came  to  pass,  after 
that  ''■''Am-a-zi'ah  was  come 
from  the  slaughter  of  the  "K'- 
dom-Ites,  that  he  brought  the 
''gods  of  the  children  of  ^Se'Tr, 
and  ^set  them  up  to  he  his  gods, 
and  '■'bowed  dow^n  himself  be- 
fore them,  and  burned  'incense 
unto  them. 

15  Wherefore  the  '"anger  of  the 
Lord  was  kindled  against  *Am- 
a-zi'ah,  and  he  sent  unto  him  a 
"prophet,  which  "said  unto  him. 
Why  hast  thou  'sought  after  the 
gods  of  the  people,  which  could 
not  deliver  their  own  ])eople  out 
of  thine  hand? 

16  And  it  came  to  ])ass,  as  he 
talked  with  him,  that  the  ^Icing 
said  unfo  him,  ''Art  thou  made 


of  the  king's  counsel  ?  forbear; 
why  shouldest  thou  be  smitten  ? 
Then  the  projjhet  forbare,  and 
said,  I  know  that  Hod  hath  de- 
termined to  '^destroy  thee,  be- 
cause thou  hast  done  this,  and 
hast  not  hearkened  unto  my 
counsel. 

17  '^  Then  ^Am-a-zl'ah  king  of 
'^Ju'dah  took  advice,  and  sent  to 
^Jo'ash,  die  son  of  'Je-ho'a-hjiz, 
the  son  of  "Je'hu,  king  of  ^I§'- 
ra-el,  saying.  Come,  let  us  see 
one  another  in  the  face. 

18  And  \To'ash  king  of  n.s'ra-el 
sent  to  ''Am-a-zl'ah  king  of  ''Ju'- 
dah,  saying,  ""■  n^he  thistle  that 
was  in  ^Leb'a-non  sent  to  the 
"cedar  that  was  in  Leb'a-non, 
saying,  Give  thy  daughter  to  my 
son  to  wife:  and  there  passed  by 
a  wild  beast  that  was  in  Leb'a- 
non,  and  trode  dovm  the  thistle. 

19  Tliou  sayest,  "I^o,  thou  hast 
smitten  the  '^K'dom-Ites;  and 
thine  heart  '^lifteth  tlu-e  up  to 
*boast:  abide  now  at  home;  why 
shouldest  thou  meddle  to  thine 
hurt,  that  thou  shouldest  fall, 
even  thou,  and  Ju'dah  with 
thee  ? 

20  But  ''Am-a-zl'ah  would  not 
hear;  for  "it  came  of  God,  that  he 
might  deliver  them  into  i:he  hand 
of  their  enemies,  because  they 
"sought  after  the  gods  of  K'dom. 

21  So  Mo-ash  the  king  of  'Is'- 
ra-el  went  up ;  and  they  saw  one 
another  in  the  face,  both  he  and 
/Am-a-zl'ah  king  of  *JuMah,  at

22  And  '^Ju'dah  was  put  to  the

fled  every  man  to  his  tent.

4  And  he  ^did  tiiat  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  his  father 
''Am-a-zl'ah  did. 

5  And  ''he  sought  God  in  the 
days  of  Zech-a-ri'ah,  who  had 
'understanding  in  the  h-isions  of 
God:  and  *''as  long  as  he 
'"sought  the  Lord,  "God  made 
him  to  "prosjier. 

6  And  *he  went  forth  and 
warred  against  the  ''Phi-lis'tine.s, 
and  brake  down  the  wall  of 
'^Gath,  and  the  wall  of  Jab'neh, 
and  the  wall  of  ''Ash'dod,  and 
built  cities  about  Ash'dod,  and

spread  abroad  even  to  the  enter-

9  JMoreover  *Uz-zI'ah  built

10  Also  he  built  ^*  ^towers  in 
the  desert,  and  digged  many 
^' 'wells:  for  he  had  much  cattle, 
both  in  the  low  country,  and  in 
the  plains:  husbandmen  also, 
and  ''vine  dressers  in  tlie  moun-

11  ^  Moreover  *IJ'z-zl'ali  had 
an  host  of  fighting  men,  that 
went  out  to  war  by  bands,  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  their 
account  by  the  hand  of  Jc-I'el 
the  ''scribe  and  Ma-a-se'iah  the 
^ruler,  under  the  hand  of  Hau-a- 
nl'ah,  one  of  the  king's  ''cap- 
tains. 

12  The  whole  number  of  the 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  the  mighty 
men  of  valour  were  two  thou- 
sand and  six  hunth'ed. 

13  Ami  under  their  hand  )/'a.s- 
^an  army,  three  hundred  tliou- 
sand  and  seven  thousand  and 
five  hundred,  that  made  war 
with  mighty  power,  to  lielp  the 
king  against  the  enemy. 

14  And  *Uz-zl'ah  prepared 
for  them  throughout  all  the 
host  '^shields,  and  'spears,  and 
"helmet.s,  and  ^^•''liabergeons, 
and  'bows,  and  ®- 'slings  to  cast 
stones. 

15  And  he  made  in  ^Je-rii'sa- 
lem  'engines,  "invented  l)y  cun- 
ning men,  to  be  on  the  ^-'"towers 
and  upon  the  '"bulwarks,  to 
'shoot  arrows  and  great  stones 
withal.  And  his  name  spread 
far  abroad;  "for  he  was  mar- 
vellously helped,  till  he  was 
strong. 

16  "H  But  when  he  "was  strong, 
''his  'iieart  was  lifted  up  ho 
his  destruction:  for  ''■'he  trans- 
gressed against  the  Lord  his 
God,  and  went  into  the  'temple 
of  the  Lord  "•''•'"to  burn 
^incense  upon  the  ^altar  of 
incense. 

17  And  Az-a-rfah  the  ^'"priest 
went  in  after  lilm,  and  wiUi  him 
fourscore  priests  of  the  Lord, 
that  were  valiant  men: 

18  And  they  withstood  *Uz- 
zl'ah  the  king,  and  *sai(l  unto 
him,  "It  appcrtaineth  not  unto 
thee,  Uz-zl'ah,  to  burn  ''incense 


unto  the  Lord,  ''but  to  the  | 
'priests  the  sons  of  "Aar'on,  that 
are  consecrated  to  burn  incense: 
go  out  of  the  ''sanctuary;  for  thou 
hast  trespassed;  neither  shall  it 
he  for  thine  honour  from  the 
Lord  God. 

19  Then  *Uz-zl'ah  was  'wroth, 
and  had  a  'censer  in  his  hand  to 
burn ''incense:  and  while  he  was 
wroth  with  the  i)riests,  the^^'lep- 
rosy  even  rose  up  in  his  forehead 
before  the  i>riests  in  the  "'house 
of  the  Lord,  from  beside  the 
incense  "altar. 

20  And  Az-a-ii'ah  the  "chief 
priest,  and  all  the  priests,  looked 
u))on  him,  and,  behold,  he  was 
''•'leprous  in  his  forehead,  and 
they  thrust  him  out  from  thence; 
yea,  himself  hasted  also  to  go 
out,  because  the  Lord  had 
"smitten  him. 

21  And  *Uz-zl'ah  the  king  was 
a  ^leper  unto  the  day  of  his 
death,  and  ''dwelt  in  a  several 
iiouse,  being  a  lej^er;  for  he  was 
'cut  off  from  tiie  "'house  of  the 
Lord:  and  ''Jo'tham  his  son  was 
over  the  king's  house,  judging 
the  people  of  the  land. 

22  11  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  *Uz-zi'ah,  first  and  last,  did 
''I-.sa'iah  the  'prophet,  the  son  of 
'^A'moz,  write. 

23  So  *Uz-zi'ah  'slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  they  buried  him 
with  his  fathers  in  the  "'field  of 
the  burial  which  belonged  to  the 
kings;  for  they  said,  He  is  a 
leper:  and  Md'Uiam  his  son 
reisrned  in  his  stead.

reigned  sixteen  years  in  ''Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. 

9  And  Jo'tham  ^slept  with  bis 
fathers,  and  they  ^buried  him  in 
the  city  of  Da'vid:  and  ^A'haz 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  28 

Ahaz,  reigning  wickedly,  is  afflicted  by  the 
Syrians.  8  The  Israelites,  by  the  coun- 
sel of  Oded  the  prophet,  send  home  the  cap- 
tives taken  from  Judah.  16  Ahaz  sends 
for  aid  to  Assyria  22  In  his  distress  he 
grows  more  idolatrous.  26  Hezchiali  suc- 
ceeds him. 

"■  A  'HAZ  was  twenty  years  old 

■^^     when  he  began  to  reign, 

and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in 


*Je-ru'sa-Iem:  but  ''he  ''did  not 
that  ichtch  was  right  in  the  siglit 
of  the  Lord,  like  '^Da'vid  his 
father: 

2  Por  "•'"he  walked  in  the  ways 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  and  made 
also  molten  ''images  for  ^Ba'- 
al-im. 

3  Moreover  "■'^he  burnt  ''in- 
cense in  the  valley  of  the  son  of 
'Hin''noni,  and  %urnt  his  ^chil- 
dren in  the  fire,  after  the  abom- 
inations of  the  heathen  whom 
the  Lord  had  cast  out  before 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  '^■^He  sacrificed  also  and 
burnt  ''incense  in  the  'high 
places,  and  on  the  hills,  and 
under  every  green  tree. 

5  Wherefore  the  Lord  his 
™God  "delivered  him  into  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  °Syr'i-a;  and 
they  smote  him,  and  carried 
away  a  great  multitude  of  them 
ca})tives,  and  brought  them  to 
^Da-mas'cus.  And  he  was  also 
delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  '''Ls'ra-el,  who  smote 
him  with  a  great  slaughter. 

6  For  Te'kah  the  son  of  ^Rem- 
a-li'ah  "slew  in  ^Ju'dah  an  hun- 
dred and  twenty  tliousand  in  one 
day,  toJiich  loere  all  valiant  men; 
because  they  had  forsaken  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

7  And  Zich'rl,  a  mighty  man 
of  "E'phra-im,  slew  Ma-a-se'iah 
the  king's  son,  and  Az'ri-kam 
the  governor  of  the  house,  and 
"p]l'ka-nah  that  was  next  to  the 
king. 

8  And  the  children  of  *Ls'ra-el 
carried  away  captive  of  their 
bretiiren  two  hundred  thousand, 
women,  sons,  and  daughters, 
and  took  also  away  much  '"spoil 
from  them,  and  brought  the 
spoil  to  ^Sa-ma'rT-a. 

9  But  a  ^prophet  of  the  Lord 
was  there,  whose  name  was 
O'ded:  and  he  went  out  before 
the  host  that  came  to  ^Sa-ma'-'

ri-a,  and  ^said  unto  them,  Be-

your  fathers  was  '^wroth  with 
"Ju'dah,  he  hath  'delivered 
them  into  your  hand,  and  ye 
have  slain  them  in  a  rage  that 
reacheth  up  unto  heaven. 

10  And  nov/  ye  purpose  to  keep 
under  tiie  children  of  ''Ju'dah 
and  ''Je-rii'sa-leni  for  ^bondmen 
and  ^bondwomen  unto  you:  but 
are  there  not  with  you,  even  with 
you,  sins  against  the  Lord  your 
God  ? 

11  Now  hear  me  therefore,  and 
deliver  the  captives  again,  which 
ye  have  taken  captive  of  you'* 
brethren:  for  the  fierce  ''wrath  of 
the  Lord  ?,s^  upon  you. 

12  Then  certain  of  the  heads  of 
the  children  of  lyphra-Tin,  Az-a- 
ri'ah  the  son  of  J6-ha'nan,  Ber- 
e-chi'ah  the  son  of  ]\le-shil'le- 
moth,  and  Je-hTz-kl'ah  the  son 
of  Shrd'lum,  and  Am'a-sa  the 
son  of  Had'la-i,  stood  up  against 
them  that  came  from  the  war, 

13  And  said  unto  them,  Ye 
shall  not  bring  in  the  captives 
hither:  for  Hvhereas  we  have  of- 
fended against  the  Lord  al- 
ready, ye  intend  to  add  more  to 
our  sins  and  to  our  trespass:  for 
our  trespass  is  great,  and  there  is 
fierce  wrath  against  ''Is'ra-el. 

14  So  the  armed  men  left  the 
captives  and  the  ''spoil  before  the 
princes  and  all  the  congregation. 

15  And  the  men  which  were  ex- 
pressed by  name  rose  up,  and 
took  the  ''captives,  and  with  the 
^spoil  clothed  all  that  were  na- 
ked among  them,  and  arrayed 
them,  and  shod  them,  and  gave 
them  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and 
^anointed  them,  and  carried  all 


the  feeble  of  them  upon  *asses, 
and  brought  tliem  to  ^Ter'i-chd, 
the  city  of  palm  trees,  to  their 
brethren:  then  they  returnetl  to 
^'^a-ma'ri-a.

17  For  again  the  "E'dom-Ites 
had  come  and  smitten  ^JuMah, 
and  carried  away  captives. 

18  The  "PhT-Iis'tine.!  also  had 
invaded  the  cities  of  the  low 
country,  and  of  the  south  of 
''Ju'dah,  and  had  taken  ^'Beth- 
she'inesh,  and  *Aj'a-l6n,  and 
'^Ge-de'roth,  and  *Sho'ch6  with 
the  villages  thereof,  and  'Tim'- 
nah  with  the  villages  thereof, 
Gini'zo  also  and  the  villages 
thereof:  and  they  dwelt  there. 

19  For  the  ^Lord  ^brought 
''Jii'dah  low  because  of  ^'^A'hfiz 
king  of  Is'ra-el;  for  he  -made 
Ju'dali  naked,  and  transgressed 
sore  against  the  Lord. 

20  And  tTil'gath-pil-ne'.2er 
king  of  "'As-syr'i-a  came  unto 
him,  and  distressed  him,  but 
strengthened  him  not. 

21  For  ^  ^\'haz  took  away  a

IvORD,  and  out  of  the  ^house  of 
the  king,  and  of  the  princes,  and

22  And  in  the  time  of  his  ^dis- 
tress did  he  trespass  yet  more 
against  the  Lord:  this  is  that 
king  ^A'hiiz. 

23  For  he  ^saci-ificed  unto

yourselves,  and  sanctify  the 
"•'hoiLse  of  the  Lord  God  of 
your  fathers,  and  carry  fortii 
the  filthiness  out  of  the  '"holj- 
place. 

6  "For  our  fathers  have  tres- 
passed, and  done  tliat  which  was 
evil  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  our 
God,  and  have  "forsaken  him, 
and  have  turned  away  their 
faces  from  the  habitation  of  the 
Lord,  and  turned  tJtcir  backs. 

7  Also  they  have  shut  up  the

8  Wherefore  the  *wrath  of  the

ered them  to  -trouble,  to  aston-

see  with  your  eyes. 

9  For,  lo,  our  fathers  have  'fal- 
len by  the  sword,  and  our  sons 
and  our  daughters  and  our  wives 
are  in  "captivity  for  this. 

10  Now  '^'it  is  in  mine  heart 
to  make  a  '"covenant  with  the

of  the  sons  of  'A'saph;  Zoch-a- 
ri'cih,  and  j\Ia,t-ta-ni'ah: 

14  And  of  the  sons  of  "He'man; 
Jc-hi'el,  and  Shim'e-I:  and  of 
tlie  sons  of  ''Jed'u-thun;  Shein- 
a-l'ah,  and  IJz'zi-el. 

15  And  they  gathered  their 
brethren,  and  '^sanctified  theni- 
selve.s,  and  came,  accorchng  to 
the  commandment  of  the  king, 
uy  the  words  of  the  Lord,  to 
'cleanse  tlie  ^house  of  the  Lord. 

16  And  the  'priests  went  into 
the  inner  part  of  the  ^hoiise  of 
the  Lord,  to  'cleanse  it,  and 
brought  out  all  the  uncleanness 
that  they  found  in  the  temple 
of  the  Lord  into  the  court  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord.  And 
the  'Le'vltes  took  it,  to  carry  vV 
out  abroad  into  the  '"brook 
"^Kid'ron. 

17  Now  they  began  on  the  first 
dai)  of  the  first  "month  to  'sanc- 
tify, and  on  the  eighth  day  of  the 
month  came  they  to  the  porch  of 
the  Lord:  so  they  sanctified  the 
%ouse  of  the  Lord  in  eight 
days;  and  in  the  si.xteenth  day  of 
the  first  month  they  made  an 
end. 

18  Then  they  went  in  to  ^Hez- 
e-kl'ah  the  king,  ^and  said,  We 
have  cleansed  all  the  •'house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  ^altar  of 
burnt  ofiVring,  with  all  the  ves- 
sels thereof,  and  the  ''shewbread 
table,  with  all  the  vessels  there- 
of. 

19  IMoreovcr  all  the  vessels, 
which  king  'A'hilz  in  his  reign 
did  cast  away  in  his  transgres- 
sion, have  we  prepared  and 
'.sanctified,  and,  behold,  they  are 
before  the  ^altar  of  the  T>ord. 

20  T[  Then  'Tlcz-c-kl'ah  the 
king  rose  early,  and  gathered  the 
rulers  of  the  city,  and  went  up  to 
the  %ouse  of  the  Lord. 

21  And  they  brought  seven  bul- 
locks, and  seven  rams,  and  seven 
lambs,  and  seven  he  goats,  for  a 


'sin  "offering  for  the  ^'kingdom, 
and  for  the  "'sanctuary,  and  for 
'Ju'dah.  And  he  commanded 
the  'priests  the  sons  of  Aar'on  to 
oft'er  iJicm  on  the  ^altar  of  the 

IvORD. 

22  So  they  ^killed  the  bullocks, 
and  the  priests  received  the 
^'^ 'blood,  and  sprinkled  it  on  the 
''altar:  likewise,  when  they  luul 
■^killed  the  rams,  they  sprinkled 
the  "''blood  upon  the  altar:  they 
•''killed  also  the  lambs,  and  they 
s]:)rinkled  the  ^'^blood  upon  the 
altar. 

23  And  they  brought  forth  the 
he  goats  ]or  the  "sin  ''otfering  be- 
fore the  king  and  the  congrega- 
tion; and  they  laid  their  '"hands 
u]wn  them: 

24  And  the  priests  '^killed  them, 
and  they  made  ^reconciliation 
with  their  ^-^blood  u])on  the  ^al- 
tar, to  make  an  '^•'^atonement  f{n' 
all  ^Ls'ra-el:  for  the  king  com- 
manded that  the  ''burnt  ^olfering 
and  the  "sin  ^offering  should  he 
made  for  all  Is'ra-el. 

25  And  he  set  the  'Le'vltes  in 
tlie  '"house  of  the  Lord  with 
"•"cymbals,  with  "-''psalteries, 
and  with  "-''hai-ps,  according  to 
the  commandment  of  '^Da'vid, 
and  of  *Gad  the  king's  seer,  and 
'Na'than  the  prophet:  for  so  teas 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
by  his  "prophets. 

26  And  the  T>e'vltes  stood  with 
the  "instruments  of  '^Da'vid,  and 
the  ^'priests  with  the  "'tnnnj)ets. 

27  And  ^Ilez-e-kl'ah  com- 
manded to  ofl^er  the  'burnt  ofi'er- 
ing  upon  the  "altar.  And  when 
the  burnt  ofl'ering  began,  "the 
song  of  the  Lord  began  also 
with  the  "trumpets,  and  with  the 
"instruments  ordained  by  T);!'- 
vid  king  of  I.s'ra-cl. 

28  And  all  the  congregation 
^worshipped,  and  the  ^singers 
sang,  and  the  "'trumpeters 
•sounded:  and  all  this  continued

until    the  '^burnt    offering    was 
finished. 

29  And  when  they  had  made 
an  end  of  offering,  the  king  and 
all  that  were  present  with  him 
*bowed  themselves,  and  '^wor- 
shipped. 

30  Moreover  ''Hez-e-kl'ah  the 
king  and  the  princes  command- 
ed the  ''Le'vites  to  sing  ''praise 
unto  the  Lord  with  the  words  of 
''Da'vid,  and  of  ''A'saph  the  seer. 
And  they  sang  praises  with 
'sjladness,  and  tliey  bowed  their 
heads  and  ^worsliipj^ed. 

31  Then  ''•'Mez-e-kfah  an- 
swered and  said,  Now  ye  have 
^consecrated  yourselves  imto  the 
Lord,  come  near  and  bring  sac- 
rifices and  'thank  offerings  into 
the  '"house  of  the  Lord.  "And 
file  congregation  brought  in  sac- 
rifices and  thank  offerings;  an<l 
"as  many  as  were  of  a  ''free  heart 
burnt  offerings. 

32  And  the  number  of  the 
"burnt  offerings,  which  the  con- 
gregation brouglit,  was  three- 
score and  ten  bullocks,  an  him- 
dred  rams,  and  two  hundred 
Iambs:  all  these  were  for  a  burnt 
offering  to  the  I^ord. 

33  And  the  consecrated  things 
were  six  himdred  ox'en  and  three 
thousand  sheep. 

34  But  the  ^priests  were  too 
few,  so  that  they  could  not  flay 
all  the  "burnt  offerings:  where- 
fore their  brethren  the  ^Le'vites 
did  help  them,  till  the  work 
was  ended,  and  until  the  other 
^priests  had  ''sanctified  them- 
selves: for  the  Le^vltes  were 
more  upright  in  heart  to  sanc- 
tify themselves  than  the  priests. 

35  And  also  the  "burnt  offer- 
ings ivere  in  abundance,  with  the 
fat  of  the  *peace  offerings,  and 
the  ^drink  offerings  for  ei^eri/ 
burnt  offering.  So  the  service  of 
the  '"house  of  the  Lord  was  set 
in  order.

36  And  '^Hez-e-ki'ah  h-ejoiced, 
and  all  the  people,  that  God  had 
prepared  the  peoj^le:  for  the 
thing  was  do7ie  suddenly. 

CHAPTER  30 

Ilezekiah  -proclaims  a  solemn  passover  in 
the  second  month  for  .1  udah  and  Israel. 
13  The  assembly  destroy  the  altars  of  idol- 
atry. 15  They  keep  the  feast  fourteen 
days.  27  The  priests  and  Levites  bless 
t!!c  people. 

D  "•''•'^Hez-e-kl'ah  sent  to 
all  ''Is'ra-el  and  ^Ju'dah, 
and  wrote  '^letters  also  to  ^E'- 
phra-im  and  ''IMa-nas'seh,  that 
they  should  come  to  the  'house 
of  the  Lord  at  ^Je-rii'sa-lem, 
to  keep  the  ^'passover  unto  the 
Lord  God  of  I./ra-el. 

2  For  the  'king  had  taken  coun- 
sel, and  his  princes,  and  all  the 
congregation  in  ^  Je-rii'sa-lem,  to 
keep  the  '"^passover  in  the  second 
'"month. 

3  For  they  couJd  not  keep  it  at 
that  time,  because  the  "priests 
had  not  sa;nctified  themselves 
'sufficientl}',  neither  had  the  ])eo- 
p\e  gathered  themselves  together 
to  ^Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  And  the  thing  pleased  the 
king  and  all  the  congregation. 

5  So  they  estai)lished  a  decree 
to  make  "proclamation  through- 
out all  I/ra-el,  from  ^^Be'er- 
she'ba  even  to  ^Dan,  that  they 
should  come  to  keep  the  ''pass- 
over  unto  the  Lord  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el  at  'Je-ru'sa-lem:  for  they 
had  not  ^done  U  of  a  long  time  in 
such  sort  as  it  Avas  written. 

6  So  the  ''posts  went  with  the 
'letters  from  the  king  and  his 
princes  throughout  all  Is'ra-el 
and  Jil'dah,  and  according  to 
the  commandment  of  the  king, 
saying,  Ye  children  of  l§'ra-el, 
*turn  again  unto  the  Lord  God 
of  'A'bra-ham,  "Psaac,  and  "!§'- 
ra-el,  and  he  will  return  to  the 
remnant  of  y  du,  tliat  are  escaped 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  kings  of

fathers,  and  like  vour  brethren, 
•^vdiich  tivsjjassed  against  tlic 
Lord  (toiI  of  their  fathers,  'who 
therefore  "gave  them  up  to  deso- 
lation, as  ye  see. 
S  Xow  be  ye  not  ^stiffnecked, 
as  your  fathers  were,  but  "yield 
yourselves  unto  the  Lord,  and 
enter  into  his  ''sanetuary,  whieh 
he  hath  sanctified  for  ever:  and 
serve  the  Lord  your  (rod,  that 
the  fierceness  of  his  ^vrath  may 
turn  away  from  you. 

9  For  ''if  '^ye  turn  again  unto  the 
Lord,  your  brethren  and  your 
children  .s-liall  find  compassion 
before  them  that  lead  them  cap- 
tive, so  that  they  shall  come 
again  into  this  land:  for  the 
Lord  your  God  is  ''gracious  and 
''merciful,  and  will  not  turn  away 
his  face  from  you,  if  ye  return 
unto  him. 

10  So  the  ''posts  passed  from 
city  to  city  through  the  country 
of  ^E'j>hra-im  and  ^jNIa-nas'seh 
even  unto  ^Zeb'u-lim:  but  they 
'•"'laughed  them  to  scorn,  and 
mocked  them. 

11  Nevertheless  divers  of 
"Ash'er  and  ^'Mil-nas'seh  and 
of  ''Zeb'u-lun  "humbled  them- 
scxves,  and  came  to  '^Je-ri/sa- 
lem. 

12  Also  in  Jil'dali  the  hand  of 
God  was  to  give  them  one  heart 
to  do  the  commandment  of  the 
king  and  of  the  ])rinces,  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord. 

1.3  '^f  And  there  assembied  at 
''Je-rii'sa-lem  much  people  to 
keep  the  *• ''feast  of  unleavened 
bread  in  the  S(>cond  *month,  a 
very  great  congregation. 

14  x\nd  they  arose  and  'took 
away  the  "altars  (hat  vrre  in 
^Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  the  altars 
for  incense  took  they  away, 
and  cast  tJicm  into  the  ''brook 
'"Kid'ron. 

15  Then  they  ^killed  the  '^pass- 
ov(;r  on  the  fourteenth  day   of 


the  second  *month:  and  the 
^' ^priests  and  the  Le'vites  were 
ashamed,  and  "sanctified  them- 
selves, and ''brought  in  the 'burnt 
ofl'erings  into  the  ''house  of  the 
Lord. 

16  And  they  stood  in  their  place 
after  their  manner,  according  to 
the  ''law  of  IVId'se.s  the  man  of 
God:  the  ]>riests  sj)rinkled  the 
''•"blood,  irliidi  tlit'i/  receiird  of 
the  hand  of  the  I^e'vites. 

17  For  tJiere  were  many  in  the 
congregation  that  were  not  sanc- 
tified: therefore  the  "Le'vites  had 
the  charge  of  the  killing  of  the 
'']iassovers  for  every  one  tJiat  a/r/.s' 
not  clean,  to  sanctify  fhein  unto 
the  Lord. 

IS  For  a  multitude  of  the

23  And  the  whole  assembly 
took  counsel  to  keep  other  seven 
days:  and  they  kept  other  seven 
days  with  ''gladness. 

24  For  "Hez-e-kl'ah  king  of 
''Jr/dah  Mid  give  to  the  congre- 
gation a  thousand  bullocks  and 
seven  thousand  sheep;  and  the 
princes  gave  to  the  congregation 
a  thousand  bullocks  and  ten 
thousand  sheep:  and  a  great 
number  of  priests  '^sanctified 
themselves. 

25  And  all  the  congregation  of 
Ju'dah,  with  the  priests  and  the 
Le'vltes,  and  all  the  congrega- 
tion that  came  out  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  the  ''strangers  that  came  out 
of  the  land  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  that 
dwelt  in  *Ju'dah,  ''rejoiced. 

26  So  there  was  great  ''joy  in 
'' Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  since  the  time 
of  ''SoFo-mon  the  son  of  'Da'vid 
king  of  ^Is'ra-el  there  was  not  the 
like  in  Je-rii'sa-lem. 

27  Then  the  ^priests  the  Le'- 
vTtes  arose  and  Mjlessed  the  peo- 
[)le:  and  their  voice  was  heard, 
and  their  '"prayer  came  tip  to  his 
holy  dwelling  place,  even  unto

NOW  when  all  this  was  fin-

present  Svent  out  to  the  cities 
of  "Ju'dah,  and  ''Ijrake  the  im- 
ages in  ])ieces,  and  cut  down  the 
"■''groves,  and  threw  down  the 
high  places  and  the  altars  out 
of  all  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min, 
in  ''E'phrcl-im  also  and  ^^la-

destroyed  them  all.  Then  all 
the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  returned. 


every  man  to  his  possession,  in- 
to their  own  cities. 

2  t  And  '^■'•Tlez-e-kl'ah  ap- 
pointed the  courses  of  the 
'■^priests  and  the  'Le'vltes  after 
their  courses,  every  man  accord- 
ing to  his  service,  the  |)riests  and 
Le'vites  for  '"burnt  offerings  and 
for  "peace  offerings,  to  minis- 
ter, and  to  give  "thanks,  and  to 
I)raise  in  the  gates  of  the  tents  of 
the  Lord. 

3  He  appointed  ''also  the  king's 
portion  of  his  substance  for  the 
burnt  offerings,  to  wit,  for  the 
'mornino;  and  evcnino;  burnt  of- 
ferings,  and  the  burnt  offerings 
for  the  ''sabbaths,  and  for  the 
*new  moons,  and  for  the  set 
'feasts,  as  it  is  written  in  the 
"law  of  the  Lord. 

4  Moreover  he  commanded  the 
people  that  dwelt  in  ''Je-rii'sa- 
lem  to  give  the  "''^portion  of 
the  priests  and  the  Le'vltes, 
that  they  might  ^be  encouraged 
in  the  law  of  the  Lord. 

5  And  as  soon  as  the  command- 
ment came  abroad,  the  children 
of  Ls'ra-el  brought  in  abundance 
the  ^firstf ruits  of  corn,  wine,  and 
oil,  and  honey,  and  of  all  the 
increase  of  the  field;  and  the 
^tithe  of  all  things  brought  they 
in  abundantly. 

6  And  concernincj  the  chil- 
dren of  Ls'ra-el  and  Ju'dah, 
that  dwelt  in  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah, they  also  brought  in  the 
^tithe  of  oxen  and  sheep,  and  the 
tithe  of  *holy  things  which  were 
consecrated  unto  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  laid  them  by 
heaps. 

7  In  the  third  "month  they  be- 
gan to  lay  the  foundation  of  the 
heaps,  and  finished  them  in  the 
seventh  month. 

8  And  when  *Hez-e-kl'ah  and 
the  princes  came  and  saw  the 
heaps,  they  "^blessed  the  Lord, 
and  his  people  Ls'ra-el.

10  And  ^\z-a-rl'ah  the  ''chief

answered  him,  and  sa'd,  Since 
the  people  began  to  bring  the  of-

eat,  and  have  left  plenty:  for  the 
TiORD  hath  ^blessed  his  peo})le; 
and  that  which  is  left  is  this

prepared  them,

cated things  faithfully:  over 
which  "Con-o-ni'ah  the  Le'vlte 
was  ruler,  and  Shim'e-I  his

2  And  when  '^Hcz-e-kl'ah  saw 
that  *Sen-nach'e-rib  was  come 
and  that  he  was  purposed  to 
fight  against  ''Je-rii'sa-lein,

princes  and  his  mighty  men  ''to 
stop  the  waters  of  the  fountains 
which  were  without  the  city:  and 
they  did  help   him. 

4  So  there  was  gathered  much

all  the  fountains,  and  the  *brook 
that  ran  through  the  midst  of  the 
land,  saying,  ^Yhy  should  the

them  together  to  him  in  the 
^street  of  the  gate  of  the  city,  and 
spake  comfortably  to  them, 
saying,

all  the  multitude  that  is  with 
him:  for  ^there  ''be  more  with  us 
than  with  him: 

8  With  him  is  an  arm  of  flesh; 
!)ut  ^with  us  is  the  Lord  our 
''God  to  help  us,  and  to  fight  our 
battles.  Aiid  the  people  rested 
themselves  upon  the  words  of 
'Hez-e-kl'ah  king  of  ''Ju'dah. 

9  Tf  After  this  did  *Sen-nach'e- 
rib  king  of  °As-syr'i-a  send  his 
servants  to  ''Je-rii'su-lein,  (but  he 
^himself  laicl  "siege  against  ''La'- 
chish,  and  all  his  power  with 
him,)  unto  ^Hez-e-kl'ah  king 
of  *  Ju'dah,  and  unto  all  JuMah 
that  ivere  at  Je-rii'sa-lem,  saying, 


10  Thus  saith  *Sen-nach'e-rib 
king  of  "As-syr'i-a,  Whereon  do 
ye  trust,  that  ye  abide  in  the 
^siege  in  Mc-rii'sa-lem  ? 

11  Doth  not  '^Hez-e-kl'ah  per- 
suade you  to  give  over  your- 
selves to  die  by  ^famine  and  by 
thirst,  saying,  The  Lord  our 
God  shall  deliver  us  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  As- 
syr  1-a  ( 

12  Hath  not  the  same  ^Hez- 
e-kl'ah  taken  away  his  ^high 
places  and  his  altars,  and  com- 
manded Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  saying,  Ye  shall  worship 
before  one  "altar,  and  burn  *'in- 
cense  upon  it  ? 

13  '"Know  ye  not  what  I  and 
my  fathers  have  done  unto  all 
the  people  of  utiter  lands  ?  were 
the  gods  of  the  nations  of  those 
lands  any  ways  able  to  deliver 
their  lands  out  of  mine  hand  ? 

14  '^'Who  icas  there  among  all 
the  gods  of  tliose  nations  that 
my  fathers  utterly  destroyed, 
that  could  deliver  his  people 
out  of  mine  iiand,  that  your 
God  should  be  able  to  deliver 
you  out  of  mine  hand  ? 

15  Now  thei'efore  let  not  ''Ilez- 
e-ki'ah  deceive  you,  nor  per- 
suade you  on  this  manner,  nei- 
ther yet  believe  him:  '"for  no  god

more  against  the  Lord  God,

Ingratitude,  of

Rom.  1:21. 
Prtde,  Prov. 
16:18. 


Hez-e-kl'ah   deliver   his   people 
out  of  mine  hand. 

IS  Then  they  cried  witli  a  loud 
voice  in  the  ^Jew.s'  speech  unto 
the  people  of  Je-rii^sii-lem  that 
vrre  on  the  wall,  to  afl'ri<2:ht 
them,  and  to  troui:;le  them;  that 
they  might  take  the  city. 

19  And  they  "sjxike  against  the 
(rod  of  Jc-ni'sa-Iem,  as  against 
the  ''gods  of  the  people  of  the 
earth,  wliich  were  the  work  of 
the  hands  of  man. 

20  And  for  this  cause  '"Hcz-e- 
kl'ah  the  king,  and  the  ''prophet 
^I-sa'iah  the  son  of  ^A'moz, 
"prayed  and  cried  to  heaven. 

21  And  "the  Lord  sent  an  ''an- 
gel, which  cut  off  all  the  mighty 
men  of  valour,  and  the  leaders 
and  captains  in  the  camp  of  tlie 
*king  of  'As-syr'i-a.  So  he  re- 
turned Avith  shame  of  face  to  his 
own  land.  .\nd  when  he  was 
come  into  the  house  of  his  god, 
'they  that  came  forth  of  his  own 
bowels  '^slew  him  there  with  the 
sword. 

22  Thus  the  ''Lord  saved  ''Hez- 
e-kl'ah  and  the  inhabitants  of 
"Me-ri/sa-lem  from  the  hand  of 
*Sen-nach'c-rTb  the  king  of  'As- 
svr'i-a,  and  from  the  hand  of  all 
other,  and  "guided  them  on  every 
side. 

23  And  many  brought  gifts  un- 
to the  I>ORD  to  Je-ni'sa-lem, 
and  ^■''])resents  to  '^Hez-e-ki'ah 
king  of  ''Ju'dah:  .so  that  he  was 
magnified  in  the  sight  of  all  na- 
tions from  thenceforth. 

24  Tl  In  those  days  ^Hez-e-kl'- 
ah  was  ''sick  to  the  death,  and 
prayed  unto  the  Lord:  and  he 
si)ake  unto  him,  and  he  gave 
him  a  sign. 

2.5  But  ^Hez-e-kl'ah  ''rendered 
not  again  according  to  the  bene- 
fit done  unto  him;  for  his  heart 
was  lifted  up:  therefore  there 


was  'wrath  u])on  him,  and  upon 
Pju'dah  and  '"Je-ni'sa-lem. 

26  Notwithstanding  ^Hez-e-kf- 
ah  "humbled  himself  for  the 
*pride  of  his  heart,  both  he  and 
the  inhabitants  of  "Me-ni'.sa-lem, 
.so  that  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
came  not  upon  them  in  the  days 
of  Hez-e-kl'ah. 

27  If  And  "Hez-e-kl'ah  had  ex- 
ceeding much  'riches  and  hon- 
our: and  he  made  himself  "'treas- 
uries for  ^silver,  and  for  ^gold, 
and  for  'precious  stones,  and  for 
'^sjMces,  and  for  "shields,  and  for 
all  manner  of  '''pleasant  jewels; 

2S  ^Storehouses  also  for  the  in- 
crease of  '^coru,  and  ''wine,  and 
'"oil ;  and  stalls  for  all  manner  of 
beasts,  and  "cotes  for  flocks. 

29  IMoreover  he  provided  him 
cities,  and  possessions  of  flocks 
and  herds  in  abundance:  for 
^God  had  given  him  "substance 
very  much. 

30  This  same  '*Hez-e-ki'ah  also 
stopped  the  upper  watercourse 
of  'Gl'hon,  and  brought  it 
straight  down  to  the  west  side  of 
the  'city  of  Da'vid.  And  Llgz-e- 
kfah  "prospered  in  all  his  w(jrks. 

31  Howbeit  in  tJie  business  uf 
the  ''•'ambassadors  of  the  princes 
of  '"Bab'y-lon,  who  sent  imto 
him  to  enquire  of  the  wonder 
that  was  done  in  the  land,  God 
left  him,  "to  try  him,  that  he 
mio-ht  know  all  that  was  in  his 
heart. 

32  T[  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
'Tlez-e-ki^ih,  and  his  goodness, 
behold,  they  arc  written  in  the 
"vision  of  ''i-sa'iah  the  prophet 
the  son  of  A'moz,  and  in  the 
"l)ook  of  the  kings  of  JuMah  and 
Ts'ra-cl. 

33  And  "Hez-e-kl^di  '■slei)t  with 
his  fathers,  and  they  buried  him 
in  the  '"chiefest  of  the  ^sei)ul- 
chres  of  the  sons  of  Da'vid:  and

CHAPTER  33 

Manasseh's  wicked  reign.  3  He  restores 
idolatry.  1 1  He  is  carried  captive  to 
Babylon.  12  Upon  repentance,  he  is  re- 
stored to  his  kingdom.  15  He  puts  down 
idolatry.  18  His  acts.  20  Anion  suc- 
ceeds him.  21  He  reigns  wickedly,  and 
is  slain  by  his  servants.  25  Josiah  suc- 
ceeds him. 

"ll/TA-NAS'SEH    tvas  twelve 
-L'-L     years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  fifty  and 
five  years  in  * Je-rii'sa-lem : 

2  But  '^''^did  that  which  was  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  I/ORD,  like 
unto  the  abominations  of  the 
^heathen,  whom  the  Lord  had 
cast  out  before  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

3  For  he  built  again  the  ^high 
])laces  Avhich  '^Hez-e-kl'ah  his  fa- 
ther had  broken  down,  and  he 
reared  up  ''altars  f(jr  "^Ba'al-im, 
and  made  '•■'groves,  and  wor- 
sliipj)ed  all  the  ^'host  of  heaven, 
and  served  them. 

4  Also  he  built  ''altars  in  the 
'house  of  the  Lord,  whereof  the 
Lord  had  said,  In  ''Jer-u'sa- 
lem  shall  my  name  be  for  ever. 

5  And  he  built  ''altars  for  all 
the  '^host  of  heaven  in  the  two 
'"courts  of  the  'house  of  the 
Lord. 

6  x\nd  he  '^caused  his  children 
to  pass  through  the  fire  in  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  "Plin'nom: 
also  he  ^observed  times,  and 
used  ^enchantments,  and  used 
'witchcraft,  and  dealt  with  •''a 
'■familiar  spirit,  and  with  wiz- 
ards: he  wrought  much  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to  pro- 
voke him  to  *anger. 

7  And  he  'set  a  carved  "imatre, 
the  idol  which  he  had  made,  in 
the  'house  of  God,  of  which  God 
had  said  to  ''Da'vid  and  to  '"Sol'- 
o-mon  his  son,  In  this  house,  and 
in  ''Je-rii'sii-lem,  which  I  have 


chosen  before  all  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el,  will  I  put  my  name  for 
ever: 

8  Neither  will  I  any  more  re- 
move the  foot  of  Is'ra-el  from 
out  of  the  land  which  I  have  ap- 
pointed for  your  fathers;  ^•■''so 
that  they  will  take  heed  to  do  all 
that  I  have  commanded  them, 
according  to  the  whole  ^law  and 
the  statutes  and  the  ordinances 
by  the  hand  of  Mo'se.s. 

9  So  INIa-nas'seh  ^made  Ju'dah 
and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ni'sa- 
lem  to  err,  and  to  do  worse  than 
the  ^heathen,  whom  the  Lord 
had  destroyed  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Ts'ra-el. 

10  %  And  the  Lord  spake  to 
"Ma-nas'seh,  and  to  his  people: 
but  they  ''wovdd  not  hearken. 

11  Wherefore  the  '^Lord 
brought  upon  ''them  the  *cap- 
tains  of  the  host  of  the  king 
of  ^As-syr'i-a,  which  took  ''jNIa- 
nas'seh  "among  the  thorns,  and 
bound  him  with  "fetters,  and 
carried  him  to  ''Bab'y-lon. 

12  And  when  he  was  in  *af- 
fliction,  he  ■'besought  the  Lord 
his  God,  and  'humbled  himself 
greatly  before  the  God  of  his 
fathers, 

13  And  prayed  unto  him: 
and  he  was  'intreated  of  him, 
and  heard  his  supplication,  and 
brought  him  again  to  '"Je-ni'sa- 
lem  into  his  kingdom.  Then 
"Ma-nas'seh  knew  that  the 
Lord  he  was  God. 

14  T[  Now  after  this  he  built 
a  wall  without  the  '"city  of  Da''- 
vid,  on  the  west  side  of  ''Gi'hon, 
in  the  valley,  even  to  the  enter- 
ing in  at  the  "fish  gate,  and 
compassed  about  ''O'phel,  and 
raised  it  up  a  very  great  height, 
and  put  captains  of  war  in  all  the 
fenced  'cities  of  Ju'dah. 

15  And  he  ''took  away  the 
strange  gods,  and  the  idol  out  of 
the  *house  of  the  Lord,  and  all

the  mount  of  the  house  of  the 


Lord,    and 


'Je-rii'sa-lrni, 


and  cast  tJicm  out  of  the  city. 

16  And  he  repaired  the  "altar 
of  the  Lord,  and  sacrificed 
thereon  ^'peace  offerings  and 
"'thank  oft'crino's,  and  command- 
ed ^Ju'dali  to  serve  the  Lord 
God  of  Ls'ra-el. 

17  Nevertheless  the  people  did 
sacrifice  still  in  the  ^high  places, 
ijci  unto  the  Lord  their  (iod 
only. 

18  %  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Ma-nas'seh,  and  his  'prayer  un- 
to his  God,  and  the  words  of  the 
seers  that  spake  to  him  "in  the 
name  of  the  I^ord  God  of  !§'- 
ra-el,  behold,  they  are  ivritten 
in  the  "book  of  the  kings  of  I.s'- 
ra-el. 

19  His  ])rayer  also,  and  how 
God  "^was  intreated  of  him,  and 
all  his  sins,  and  his  trespa.ss,  and 
the  places  wherein  he  built  ''high 
places,  and  set  up  ^•''groves  and 
graven  ''images,  before  he  was 
humbled:  behold,  they  are  writ- 
ten ^among  the  sayings  of  the 
seers. 

20  So  '':\Ia-nas'seh  ''slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  they  buried  him 
in  his  own  %ouse:  and  'A'mon 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

21  ^  •'A'mon  was  two  and 
twenty  years  old  when  he  be- 
gan to  reign,  and  reigned  two 
years  in  '"'Je-ru'.sa-lcin. 

22  But  'he  did  ihat  which  wa.s 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  '"as 
did  ^Ma-nas'seh  his  father:  for 
'A'mon  "sacrificed  unto  all  the 
carve<l  images  which  Ma-nas'- 
seh  his  father  had  made,  and 
served  them; 

23  And  "humbled  not  him.self 
before  the  Lord,  "as  "^Nlanas'- 
seh  his  father  had  humbled 
hhnself;  but  ^A'mon  trespassed 
more  and  more. 

24  And  his  servants  ^conspired 


against  him,  and  ^■''slew  him  in 
his  own  house. 

25  But  the  people  of  the  land 
slew  all  them  that  had  '\'on- 
spired  against  king  •'A'mon;  and 
the  people  of  the  land  maile  *J6- 
sl'ah  his  son  king  in  his  stead.

3  For  in  the  eighth  year  of  his 
reign,  Avhile  he  was  yet  "young, 
''he  began  to  'seek  after  the  God

7  And  when  he  had  "broken 
down  the  "aUars  and  the 
i.^groves,  and  had  beaten  the 
graven  ''•'"images  into  powder, 
and  cut  down  all  the  "idols 
throughout  all  the  land  of  Is  ra- 
el,  he  returned  to  *Je-rii  sa-lem. 

8  ^  Now  in  the  eighteenth  year 
of  his  reign,  when  he  had  purged 
the  land,  and  the  "house,  he  sent 
*Sha'phan  the  son  of  "'Az-a-li'- 
ah,  and  Ma-a-se'iah  the  ^gov- 
ernor of  the  city,  and  Jo'ah  the 
son  of  Jo'a-haz  the  recorder,  to 
repair  the  house  of  the  Lord 
his  God. 

9  And  when  they  came  to  ^^Hil- 
kl'ah  the  ^high  priest,  they  de- 
livered the  "money  that  was 
"brought  into  the  ''hou.se  of  God, 
which  the  '^Le'vites  that  kept  the 
doors  had  gathered  of  the  hand 
of  ''iSIa-nas'seh  and  ''E'phra-im, 
and  of  all  the  remnant  of  Ls'ra- 
el,  and  of  all  "JuMah  and  "BeiV- 
ja-min;  and  they  returned  to 
Me-ri/sa-lem. 

10  And  they  put  "-it  in  the  hand 
of  the  workmen  that  had  the 
oversight  of  the  ''house  of  the 
Lord,  and  they  gave  it  to 
the  workmen  that  wrought  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  to  repair 
and  amend  the  house: 

11  Even  to  the  artificers  and 
'builders  gave  they  '^it,  to  buy 
hewn  ^stone,  and  timber  for 
couplings,  and  to  ^floor  the 
houses  which  the  kings  of 
'  Ju'dah  had  destroyed. 

12  And  the  men  did  the  work 
'"faithfully:  and  the  overseers  of 
them  tcere  Ja'hath  and  O-ba- 
di'ah,  the  "Le'vltes,  of  the  "sons 
of  Me-ra'ri;  and  Zech-a-rl'ah 
and  Me-shid'lam,  of  the  sons  of 
the  ^Ko'hath-ites,  to  set  it  for- 
ward; and  otJitr  of  the  Le'vltes, 
all  that  could  skill  of  'instru- 
ments of  musick. 


1.3  Also  they  ivere  over  the  bear- 
ers of  burdens,  and  were  over- 
seers of  all  that  wrought  the 
work  in  any  manner  of  service: 
and  of  the  ''Le'vites  there  were 
^scribes,  and  officers,  and  "^por- 
ters. 

14  T[  And  when  they  brought 
out  the  ''money  that  was  brought 
into  the  ''house  of  Ihe  Lord, 
Hil-kl'ah  the  'priest  found  *"a 
book  of  the  ^law  of  the  Lord 
given  by  Mouses. 

15  And  Hil-kl'ah  answered 
and  said  to  *Sha'piian  the 
^scribe,  I  have  found  the  ^-"book 
of  the  "law  in  the  ''house  of  the 
Lord.  And  Hil-ki'ah  delivered 
the  book  tt)  Sha'phan. 

IG  And  *Sha'phan  carried 
the  "book  to  the  '"■  ■'king,  and 
brought  the  king  word  back 
iigain,  saying.  All  that  was  com- 
mitted to  thy  servants,  "'they  do 
//. 

17  And  they  have  "gathered  to- 
gether the  "money  that  was 
found  in  the  ''house  of  the  Lord, 
and  have  delivered  it  into  the 
hand  of  the  overseers,  and  to  the 
hand  of  the  workmen. 

18  Then  *Slia'phan  the  ^scribe 
told  the  "'•■'■king,  saying,  Hil- 
ki'ah  the  priest  hath  given  me  a 
"book.  And  Sha'phan  read  it 
before  the  king. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  "'•^king  had  heard  the  words 
of  the  "law,  that  he  rent  his 
clothes. 

20  And  the  "^'king  commanded 
Hil-ki'ah,  and  ^A-hfkam  the 
son  of  *Sha'phan,  and  ^\b'don 
the  son  of  "Mi'cah,  and  Sha'- 
phan the  ''scribe,  and  "A-sa-i'ah

fathers  have  not  ke[)t  the  *'\vord 
of  the  Lord,  to  do  after  all  that 
is  written  in  this  book. 

22  And  "liil-kl'ah,  and  ihcii 
that  the  king-  laid  appointed, 
went  to  *Hid'dah  the  •'"^projihet-

rah,  keeper  of  the  wardrobe; 
(now  she  dwelt  in  "Je-ru'sa-lcin 
in  the  ^college:)  and  they  spake 
to  her  to  that  ejjrct. 

23  And  •'•'she  answered  theni, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Tell  ye  the  man  that 
sent  you  to  me, 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, I  will  ''bring  evil  upon  this 
place,  and  U}:)on  the  inhabitants 
thereof,  evrn  all  the  curses  that 
are  written  in  the  ''■^book  which 
they  ha^•e  read  before  the  king 
of  ja'dah: 

25  Because  they  have  ^^forsaken 
me,  and  have  ^burned  ''incense 
unto  other  gods,  that  they  might 
provoke  me  to  anger  with  all  the 
works  of  tlieir  hands;  therefore 
my  ''wrath  shall  l^e  poured  out 
upon  this  place,  antl  shall  not  be

26  And  as  for  the  'king  of  Mu'- 
dah,  who  sent  y(ni  to  ''enquire  of 
the  Lord,  so  shall  ye  say  unto 
him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  I.s'ra-el  concerning  the  words 
which  thou  hast  heard; 

27  Because  thine  heart  was  ten- 
der, and  thou  didst  "humble  thy- 
self before  God,  when  thou 
heardest  his  words  against  this 
place,  and  against  the  inhabi- 
tants thereof,  and  humbledst 
thyself  before  me,  and  didst 
^rend  thy  clothes,  and  weep  be- 


fore  me;    I   ha\e   even    'heard 
thee  also,  saith  the  Lord. 

28  Behold,  I  will  gatlier  thee  to 
thy  fathers,  and  thou  shalt  be 
gathered  to  thy  grave  in  peace, 
neither  shall  thine  eyes  see  all 
the  ''evil  that  I  will  bring  upon 
this  place,  and  uj)on  the  inhal)-

brought  the  king  word  again. 

29  ^  Then  the  *king  sent  and 
gathered  together  all  the  "'elders

30  And  ■''the  king  went  up  intx;

31  And  the  ''khig  stood  in  his

CHAPTER  35 

Josiah  keeps  a  soleTnn  passover.  20  He, 
going  against  Pharaoh-ncclioh,  is  slain  at 
Alegiddo.     25  Lamentations  for  josiah. 


MOREOVER"' "Jo-sT'ah^kept 
a  ''passover  unto  the  Lord 
in  '^  Je-rii'sa-lem :  and  they  ^killed 
the  passover  on  the  fourteenth 
dai/  of  the  first  ''month. 

2  And  "-''he  set  the  '^priests  in 
their  charges,  and  encouraged 
them  to  the  service  of  the  ^house 
of  the  Lord, 

3  And  ''said  unto  the  ''Le'vites 
that  'taught  all  Is'ra-el,  which 
were  '"holy  unto  the  I^ord,  Put 
the  holy  "ark  in  the  "house 
which  ''Sol'o-mon  the  son  of 
"Da'vid  king  of  a./ra-el  did 
build;  it  shall  not  be  a  burden 
upon  your  shoulders:  serve  now 
the  Lord  your  God,  and  his 
people  Ls'ra-el, 

4  ''And  prejiare  yourselves  by 
the  houses  of  your  fathers,  after 
your  courses,  according  to  the 
writing  of  Da'vid  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  and  according  to  the  writ- 
ing of  Sol'o-inon  his  son. 

5  And  stand  in  the  *lioly  place 
according  to  the  divisions  of  the 
families  of  the  fathers  of  your 
brethren  the  ])eople,  and  after 
the  division  of  the  families  of  the 
Le'vites. 

6  So  kill  the  ''passover,  and 
'sanctify  yourselves,  and  prepare 
your  brethren,  that  they  may  do 
according  to  the  "word  of  the 
Lord  by  the  hand  of  Mouses. 

7  And  "Jo-si'ah  "gave  to  the 
^people,  of  the  flock,  lambs  and 
kids,  all  for  the  ''passover  offer- 
ings, for  all  that  were  pi'esent,  to 
the  number  of  thirty  thousand, 
and  three  thousand  "'bullocks: 
these  ivere  of  the  king's  sub- 
stance. 

8  And  his  princes  '^gave  -will- 
ingly unto  the  people,  to  the 
priests,  and  to  the  Ix^'vltes :  ^Hil- 
kl'ah  and  Zech-a-ri''ah  and  Je- 


hl'el,  rulers  of  the  "house  of  God, 
gave  unto  the  priests  for  the 
passover  offerings  two  thousand 
and  six  hundred  sviall  cattle,  and 
three  hundred  "'oxen. 

d  ^Con-a-ni'ahalso,  andShem- 
a-i'ah  and  Nc-than'e-cl,  his 
brethren,  and  llash-a-bi'ah  and 
Jc-I'el  and  'Joz/a-bad,  chief  of 
the  Le'vltes,  "gave  unto  the  l-e'- 
vltes  for  passover  offerings  five 
thousand  small  cattle,  and  five 
hundred  oxen. 

10  So  the  service  was  prepared, 
and  the  "priests  stood  in  their 
place,  and  the  ''Le'vltcs  in  their 
courses,  according  to  the  king's 
commandment. 

11  And  "they  "killed  the  ''pass- 
over,  and  the  priests  sprinkled 
the  ^'^blood  ^from  their  hands, 
and  the  *lve'vites  flayed  tJiem,. 

12  And  they  removed  the 
''burnt  offerings,  that  they  might 
give  according  to  the  divisions  of 
the  families  of  the  people,  to  of- 
fer unto  the  Lord,  as  it  is  writ- 
ten in  the  ''book  of  ]\Io'.ses.  And 
so  did  tJtcy  with  the  'oxen. 

13  And  they  roasted  the  ''pass- 
over  with  fire  according  to  the 
ordinance:  but  the  other  holy  o/- 
ferings  sod  they  in  pots,  and  in 
'caldrons,  and  in  pans,  and  di- 
vided tlicm  speedily  among  all 
the  people. 

14  And  afterward  they  made 
readv  for  themselves,  and  for  the 
priests:  because  the  '^priests  the 
sons  of  Aar'on  icere  busied  in  of- 
fering of  -'burnt  offerings  and  the 
fat  until  night;  therefore  the ''Le'- 
vites  prepared  for  themselves, 
and  for  the  priests  the  sons  of 
Aar'on. 

15  And  the  ^singers  the  sons  of 
M'saj:)h  were  in  their  place,  ac- 
cording to  the  commandment  of 
'"Da'vid,  and  A'saph,  and  "He'- 
man,  and  "Jed'u-thun  the  king's 
seer;  and  the  ''porters  waited  at 
every  gate;  they  might  not  de-

part  from  their  service;  for  their 
brethren  the  ^Le'vite.s  prepared 
for  them. 

16  So  all  the  service  of  the 
Lord  was  prepared  the  same 
day,  to  keep  the  ''|)as.sover,  and 
to  offer  ^burnt  otfering.s  upon  tlie 
'altar  of  the  Lord,  according 
to  the  commandment  of  king 
^J6-si'ah. 

17  And  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el 
that  were  jjresent  kept  the  ''pass- 
over  at  that  time,  and  the  feast 
of  unleavened  bread  seven  days. 

IS  And  there  was  no  ''passovcr 
like  to  that  kept  in  Ls'ra-el  from 
the  days  of  *Sam'u-el  the  proph- 
et; neither  did  all  the  kings  of 
Is'ra-el  keep  such  a  passover  as 
'■Jo-sT'ah  kei)t,  and  the  priests, 
and  the  Le'vltes,  and  all  Ju'- 
dah  and  Is'ra-el  that  were  pres- 
ent, and  the  inhabitants  of  Me- 
ni'sfi-lem. 

19  In  the  eighteenth  year  of  the 
reign  of  ''Jc-sl'ah  was  this  ''pass- 
over  kept. 

20  \  After  all  this,  Avhen  M6- 
sl'ah  had  prepared  the  "temple, 
'Ne'cho  king  of  "'fygypt  came 
up  to  fight  against  ^Char'che- 
mish  by  ^Eu-phra'tes:  and  Jo- 
si'ah  went  out  against  him. 

21  But  he  sent  ^ambassadors  to 
him,  saying.  What  have  I  to  do 
with  thee,  thou  king  of  "  Ju'dah  ? 
I  come  not  against  thee  this  day, 
!jut  against  the  house  wherewith 
I  have  war:  for  *God  command- 
ed me  to  mak(>  haste:  forbear 
thee  from  vicdd/inr/  vnth  God, 
who  i.v  with  me,  that  he  destroy 
thee  not. 

22  Nevertheless  '^Jd-sfah 
''■''would  not  turn  his  face  from 
him,  but  disguised  himself,  that 
he  might  fight  willi  him,  and 
hearkened  not  unto  the  words  of 
'Ne'cho  from  the  iiioulh  of  God, 
and  came  to  fight  in  the  valley  of 
'^[e-gT(l'(lo. 

23  And   the   ''arcliers   shot   at 


king  '■Jo-sl'ah;  and  the  king  said 
to  his  servants.  Have  me  away; 
for  I  am  sore  wounded. 

24  His  servants  therefore  took 
him  out  of  that  'chariot,  and  put 
him  in  the  second  chariot  that  he 
had;  and  they  brought  him  to 
'  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  he  ^died,  and 
was  buried  in  one  of  the  'sep- 
ulchres of  his  fathers.  And 
all  ''Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem 
mourned  for  '^Jo-sl'ah. 

25  And  '"Jer-e-ml'ah  lamented 
for  '^Jo-sl'ah:  and  all  the  "singing 
men  and  the  "singing  woir.en 
spake  of  J6-si'ah  in  their  "lamen- 
tations to  this  day,  and  made 
them  an  ordinance  in  Ls'ra-el: 
and,  behold,  they  are  written  in 
the  lamentations. 

26  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
''Jo-si'ah,  and  his  ^goodness,  ac- 
cording to  that  which  teas  writ- 
ten in  the  "law  of  the  Lord, 

27  And  his  deeds,  first  and  last, 
behold,  they  are  written  in  the 
''book  of  the  kings  of  Ls'ra-el  and 
Ju'dah.

them  the  king  of  the  ^ChaFdees, 
who  slew  their  young  men  with 
the  sword  in  the  ''house  of  their 
sanctuary,  and  had  no  compas- 
sion upon  young  man  or  maiden, 
old  man,  or  him  that  stooped  for 
age:  he  gave  tJiem  all  into  his 
hand. 

18  And  all  the  vessels  of  the 
''house  of  God,  great  and  small, 
and  the  treasiu'es  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  treasures  of 
the  king,  and  of  his  princes;  all 
tJiese  he  brought  to  *Bab'y-lon. 

19  And  they  burnt  the  ''house 
of  God,  and  brake  down  the 
wall  of  ''Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  burnt 
all  the  *palaces  thereof  with  fire, 
and  destroyed  all  the  goodly  ves- 
sels thereof. 

20  And  them  that  had  escaped 
from  the  sword  "-'carried  he 
away  to  *Bab'y-Ion;  where  they 
were  "servants  to  him  and  his

CHAPTER  1 

The  proclamation  of  Cyrus  for  the  rebuild- 
ing of  the  temple.  5  The  people  provide 
for  their  return.  7  Cyrus  restores  the 
vessels  of  the  temple. 

IVTOW    in    the    first    year    of 

sia,  that  the  ''word  of  the  Lord 
by  the  mouth  of  ^-^Jer-e-ml'ah 
might  be  fulfilled,  the  ^Lord 
stirred  up  the  spirit  of  (^-y'i''^i'' 
king  of  Per'.sia,  that  ''he  made  a 
'^''proclamation  throughout  all 
his  kingdom,  and  put  it  also  in 
writing,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  "(,'y'rus  king  of 
Ter'sia,  "The  ^Lord  God  of 
heaven  hath  given  me  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth;  and  he 
hath  charged  me  to  build  him  an 
^liouse  at  Me-ni'sa-lem,  which  is 
in  "'Ju'dah. 

3  Wiio  is  there  among  you  of  all 
ills  pe()[)le  ?  his  God  be  with  him, 
and  let  4iim  go  up  to  'Je-rii'sa- 
1cm,  which  is  in  '"Ju'dah,  and 
liuild  the  ''hou.se  of  the  Lord 
(iod  of  I.s'ra-cl,  (he  Hs  the  God,) 
which  is  in  Je-ni'sa-lem. 

4  And  who.soever  remaincth  in 
any  place  when;  he  sojourneth, 
let  the  men  of  his  place  "help 
him  with  ''silver,  and  with  'gold, 


and  with  goods,  and  with  beasts, 
beside  the  ''freewill  offering  for 
the  ''^house  of  God  that  is  in  Me- 
ru'sa-lem. 

5  ^  Then  rose  up  the  chief  of 
the  fathers  of  *Ju'dah  and  'Ben'- 
ja-min,  and  the  "priests,  and  the 
"Le'vites,  with  all  them  whose 
spirit  God  had  raised,  to  go  up 
to  build  the  ''house  of  the  Lord 
which  is  in  ^Je-rii'sa-lem. 

6  And  all  they  that  'ivere  about 
them  '"strengthened  their  hands 
with  vessels  of  ''silver,  witli 
'gold,  with  goods,  and  with 
beasts,  and  Vv'ith  precious 
things,  l^eside  all  that  was  ''will- 
ingly offered. 

7  Tl  Also  "(^'.y'rus  the  king 
brought  forth  the  vessels  of  the 
^housc  of  the  Lord,  which ^Neb- 
u-chad-ncz'zar  had  brought 
forth  out  of  'Je-ru'sa-lcm,  and 
had  put  them  in  the  'hous(>  of

*[In  order  to  publish  this  Bible  in  one  volume  with  its 
numerous  and  diversified  marginal  notes  and  footnotes  it 
has  been  necessary  to  avoid  elaborate  discussions  of  subjects,

dilTicuitics  in  connection  with  some  of  the  names  in  gcne-

dillerences  in  the  spelling  of  the  same  name,  and  the  fact 
that  intlividuals  and  places  are  mentioned  under  different

Im'nier:  but  they  could  not  shew 
their  father's  '^house,  and  their 
.seed,  whether  they  were  of  Is'- 
ra-el: 

60  The  children  of  Del-a-l'ah, 
the  children  of  T6-bi'ah,  the 
children  of  Ne-ko'da,  "six  hun- 
dred fifty  and  two. 

61  And  of  the  children  of  the 
''priests:  the  children  of  Ha-ba'- 
iah,  the  children  of  Koz,  the  chil- 
dren of  Bar-zil'la-i;  which  took  a 
wife  of  the  daughters  of  Bar-ziF- 
la-i  the  Gil'e-ad-Ite,  and  was 
called  after  their  name: 

62  These  sought  their  register 
among  those  that  were  reckoned 
by  '^genealogy,  but  they  were  not 
found:  therefore  were  they,  as 
polluted,  put  from  the  priest- 
hood. 

63  x\nd  the  Tir'sha-tha  said 
unto  them,  that  they  should  not 
eat  of  the  most  holy  things,  till 
there  stood  up  a  ''priest  with 
'^U'rini  and  with  Thiim'mira. 

64  ^  The  whole  congregation 
together  was  "forty  and  two  thou- 
sand three  hundred  and  three- 
score, 

65  Beside  their  ^servants  and 
iheir  maids,  of  whom  there  were 
"seven  thousand  three  hundred 
thirty  and  seven:  and  there  were 
among  them  "two  hundred  '^sing- 
ing men  and  singing  women. 

66  Their  Hiorses  were  seven 
hundred  thirty  and  six;  their 
^mules,  two  hundred  forty  and 
five; 

67  Their  ^camels,  four  hun- 
dred thirty  and  five;  their  'asses, 
six  thousand  seven  hundred  and 
twenty. 

68  ^  And  some  of  the  chief  of 
the  fathers,  when  they  came  to 


the  '"house  of  the  Lord  which  is 
at  "Je-rii'sa-lem,  "offered  freely 
foi-  the  '^house  of  God  to  set  it 
up  in  his  place: 

69  They  "gave  after  their  ability 
unto  the  treasure  of  the  work 
threescore  and  one  thousand 
'•Mrams  of  *gold,  and  five  thou- 
sand pound  of  'silver,  and  one 
hundred  priests'  "garments. 

70  So  the  ''priests,  and  the 
'Le^vltes,  and  some  of  the  peo- 
ple, and  the  "singers,  and  the 
"'porters,  and  the  ^Neth'i-nim.s, 
dwelt  in  their  cities,  and  all  Ls'- 
ra-el  in  their  cities. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  altar  is  set  up,  and  the  sacrifices  re- 
newed. 8  The  foundation  of  the  temple 
is  laid. 

AND  when  the  seventh  "month 
was  come,  and  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  were  in  the  cities,  the 
''people  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether as  one  man  to  ''Je-rii'sij,- 
lem. 

2  Then  stood  up  ''Jesh'u-a  the 
son  of  '^Joz'a-dak,  and  his  breth- 
ren the  ^priests,  and  *Ze-ruL  ba- 
bel the  son  of  ^She-al'ti-el,  and 
his  brethren,  and  "builded  the 
''altar  of  the  God  of  Ls'ra-el,  to 
offer  burnt  offerings  thereon,  as 
it  is  written  in  the  'law  of  Mo'.se.s 
the  man  of  God. 

3  And  they  set  the  '^altar  upon 
his  bases;  for  fear  was  upon 
them  because  of  the  people  of 
those  countries:  and  they  ^of- 
fered ''^burnt  'offerings  thereon 
unto  the  Lord,  even  burnt  offer- 
ings "morning  and  evening. 

4  They  kept  also  the  "feast  of 
"tabernacles,  as  it  is  written,  and 
offered  the  '"daily  burnt  offerings 
by  number,  according  to  the  cus- 
tom, as  the  duty  of  every  day  re- 
quired;

5  And  afterward  ojfcred  the 
continual  burnt  offering,  both  of 
the  ''new  moons,  and  of  all  the 
set  feasts  of  the  IvORD  that  were 
consecrated,  and  of  every  one 
that  ^willingly  offered  a  ^free- 
will offering  unto  the  Lord. 

6  From  tl\e  first  day  of  the  sev- 
enth "montli  began  they  to  offer 
^burnt  offerings  unto  the  Lord. 
But  the  foundation  of  the  ''tem- 
ple of  the  Lord  was  not  yet  laid. 

7  ^They  gave  *• 'money  also  un- 
to the  "masons,  and  to  the  *'car- 
penters;  and  meat,  and  drink, 
and  oil,  unto  them  of  ^'Zi'don, 
and  to  them  of  ^Tyre,  to  bring 
"cedar  trees  from  ^Leb'a-non  to 
the  "sea  of  '' Jop'pa,  according  to 
the  grant  that  they  had  of  ''^y'- 
rus  king  of  '^Per'sia. 

8  Tl  Now  in  the  second  year  of 
their  coming  unto  the  house  of 
God  at  ^Je-rii'sa-lem,  in  the  sec- 
ond 'month,  began  *Ze-rub'ba- 
Ixd  the  son  of  ^Shc-al'tT-el,  and 
''Jesh'u-a  the  son  of  'Moz'a-dsik, 
and  the  remnant  of  their  breth- 
ren the  'priests  and  the  ^Le'vites, 
and  all  they  that  were  come  out 
of  the  ^'captivity  unto  Je-ni'sa- 
lem;  and  appointed  the  Le'vltes, 
from  twenty  years  old  and  up- 
ward, to  set  forward  the  work  of 
the  'house  of  the  Lord. 

9  Then  stood  ''Jesh'u-a  ivith 
his  sons  and  his  brethren,  Kad'- 
mi-el  and  his  sons,  the  sons  of 
Ju'dah,  together,  to  set  forward 
the  workmen  in  tho  'house  of 
God:  the  sons  of  Hen'a-dad, 
ivith  their  sons  and  their  breth- 
ren the  ^Le'vltes. 

10  And  when  the  builders  laid 
the  foundation  of  the  'temple  of 
the  Lord,  they  set  the  'priests 


in  their  apparel  with  '"trumpets, 
and  the  ^•'^Le'vites  the  sons  of 
°A'saph  with  ^'•''cymbals,  to 
'^praise  the  Lord,  after  the  or- 
dinance of  *l)ri'vid  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el. 

11  And  "they  ''sang  together  by 
course  in  ''])niising  and  'giving 
thanks  unto  the  Lord;  because 
he  is  good,  for  his  "mercy  endur- 
eth  for  ever  toward  I§'ra-el.  And 
all  the  people  "•'"shouted  with  a 
great  shout,  when  they  praised 
the  Lord,  because  the  founda- 
tion of  the  'house  of  the  Lord 
was  laid. 

12  But  many  of  the  'priests  and 
'Le'vltes  and  chief  of  the  fathers, 
ivho  were  ^ancient  men,  that  had 
seen  the  ^first  house,  when  the 
foundation  of  'this  house  was 
laid  before  their  eyes,  -^wept 
with  a  loud  voice;  and  many 
"shouted  aloud  for  "'joy: 

13  So  that  the  people  could  not 
discern  the  noise  of  the  "shout 
of  "joy  from  the  noise  of  the 
^weeping  of  the  peo])le:  for  the 
people  shouted  with  a  loud 
shout,  and  the  noise  was  heard 
afar  off.

NOW  when  the  adversaries

ja'min  heard  that  the  children 
of  the  ''captivity  builded  the 
'^•''temple  unto  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'-ra-el; 

2  Then  they  came  to  ''Ze-riil/' 
ba-bel,  and  to  the  chief  of  the 
fathers,  and  said  unto  them,  Let

u-e'riis,  in  the  beginning  of  his 
reign,  wrote  they  unio  him  an 
''accusation  against  the  '^inhabit- 
ants of  Ju'dah  and''Je-ru'sa-Iem. 

7  And  in  the  days  of  *Ar-tax- 
erx'es  wrote  Bish'lam,  Mith're- 
dath,  Ta'be-el,  and  the  rest  of 
their  companions,  unto  Ar-ta^- 
erx'e.s  king  of  'Per'.sia;  and  the 
writing  of  the  ^letter  was  written 
in  the  Syr'i-an  tongue,  and  in- 
terpreted in  the  Syr'i-an  "tongue. 

8  Re'hum  the  chancellor  and 
Shim'shai  the  ^scribe  wrote  a 
'letter  against  ''•"'Je-ni'.sfi-lcm  to 
^Ar-tax-erx'e.sthekinginthissort: 

9  Then  wrote  Re'hum  the  chan- 
cellor, and  Shim'shai  the  "scribe, 
and  the  rest  of  their  compan- 
ions; the  Di'na-Ites,  the  A-phiir'- 
sath-chites,  the  Tar'pel-Ites,  the 
A-philr'sItes,  the  Ar'che-vltes, 
the  ^Bab-y-lo'ni-an.s,  the  Su'san- 
chites,  the  De-ha'vltes,  and  the 
E'lam-Ites, 


10  And  the  rest  of  the  nations 
whom  the  great  and  noble  As- 
nap'per  brought  over,  and  ^set 
in  the  cities  of  ^Sa-ma'ri-a,  and 
the  rest  that  are  ^on  this  side  the 
river,  and  at  such  a  time. 

11  ^  This  is  the  copy  of  the 
"letter  that  they  sent  unto  him, 
even  unto  ''Ar-tax-erx'e.s  the 
king;  Thy  servants  the  men^on 
this  side  the  river,  and  at  such 
a  time. 

12  '^Be  it  known  unto  the  king, 
that  the  ''Jew.s  which  came  up 
from  thee  to  us  are  come  unto 
'^Je-rii'sa-lem,  building  the  re- 
bellious and  the  bad  city,  and 
have  set  up  the  walls  thereof,  and 
joined  the  foundations. 

13  '^Be  it  known  now  unto  the 
king,  that,  if  this  city  be  buikled, 
and  the  walls  set  up  again,  then 
will  they  not  pay  toll,  *tribute, 
and  custom,  and  so  thou  shalt 
endamage  the  revenue  of  the 
kings. 

14  Now  because  we  ^have 
maintenance  from  the  king's  pal- 
ivce,  and  it  was  not  meet  for  us  to 
see  the  king's  dishonour,  there- 
fore have  we  sent  and  certified 
the  king; 

15  That  search  may  be  made 
in  the  ^book  of  the  records  of  thy 
fathers:  .so  shalt  thou  find  in  the 
book  of  the  records,  and  know 
^that  this  ''city  is  a  rebellious 
city,  and  hurtful  unto  kings  and 
provinces,  and  that  they  have 
moved  sedition  within  the  same 
of  old  time :  for  which  cause  was 
this  city  destroyed. 

IG  We  certify  the  king  that,  if 
this  city  be  builded  again,  and 
the  walls  thereof  set  up,  by  this 
means  thou  shalt  have  no  por- 
tion on  this  side  the  river.

18  The  "letter  which  ye  sent 
unto  us  hath  been  plainly  read 
before  me. 

19  And  I  commanded,  and 
search  hath  been  made,  and  it  is 
found  that  this  '^city  of  old  time 
hath  made  insurrection  against 
kings,  and  that  rebellion  and  se- 
dition have  been  made  therein. 

20  There  have  been  mighty 
kings  also  over  ''Je-rii'sa-lcm, 
which  have  ruled  over  all  coun- 
tries beyond  the  river;  and  toll, 
*tribute,  and  custom,  was  paid 
unto  them. 

21  Give  ye  now  commandment 
to  cause  these  men  to  cease,  and 
that  this  city  be  not  builded,  un- 
til another  commandment  shall 
be  given  from  me. 

22  Take  heed  ^now  that  ye  faii 
not  to  do  this:  why  should  dam- 
age grow  to  the  hurt  of  the 
kings  ? 

23  ^  Now  when  the  copy  of 
king  *Ar-ta5-erx'es'  '^letter  was 
read  before  Re'hum,  and  SliTm'- 
shai  the  ^sCxibe,  and  their  com- 
panions, they  went  up  in  haste  to 
'^Je-n/sa-lem  unto  the  '^Jew.s, 
and  made  them  to  cea.se  by  force 
and  power. 

24  Then  ceased  the  work  of 
the  '^house  of  God  which  is  at 
'^Je-rii'sa-lem.  So  it  ceased  unto 
the  second  year  of  the  reign  of 
T^a-ri'us  king  of  '^Per'.sia.

THEN  the  "prophets,   "Hag'- 
ga-I    the     prophet,     and 
'^Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  ''Td'do, 


prophesied  unto  the  ''Jews  that 
were  m  Mu'dah  and  "Je-ri/sa- 
lem  in  the  name  of  the  God  of 
Ls'ra-el,  even  unto  them. 

2  Then  rose  up  ''Ze-riib'ba- 
bel  the  son  of  'She-al'ti-ei,  and 
^Jesh'u-a  the  son  of  ''^Joz'a-dak, 
and  began  to  build  the  Hiouse  of 
God  which  is  at  " Je-ri/sa-lem : 
and  with  them  were  the  prophets 
of  God  '"helping  them. 

3  ^  At  the  same  time  came  to 
them  "Tat'na-i,  "governor  on 
this  side  the  river,  and  "She'- 
tliar-bt")z'na-i,  and  their  com- 
panions, and  said  thus  unto 
tliejn.  Who  hath  commanded 
you  to  build  this  house,  and  to 
make  up  this  wall  ? 

4  Then  said  we  unto  them  af- 
ter this  manner,  What  are  the 
names  of  the  men  that  make  this 
building  ? 

5  But  the  Peye  of  their  «God 
was  uj)on  the  ''elders  of  the  Jews, 
that  they  could  not  cause  them 
to  cease,  till  the  matter  came  to 
*Da-rl'us:  and  then  they  re- 
turned answer  by  ^letter  con- 
cerning this  matter. 

6  Tf  The  copy  of  the  ^letter  that 
'^Tat'na-I,  "governor'on  this  side 
the  river,  and  "She'thar-boz'- 
na-i,  and  his  companions  the 
A-phar'sach-ites,  which  were  'on 
this  side  the  river,  sent  unto 
*Da-ri'us  the  king: 

7  They  sent  a  ^letter  unto  him, 
wherein  was  written  thus;  'Unto 
*Da-rl'us  the  "king,  all  peace.

in  the  walls,  and  this  work  goeth

commanded  you  to  build  this 
house,  and  to  make  up  these 
walls  ? 

10  We  asked  their  names  also, 
to  certify  thee,  that  we  might 
write  the  names  of  the  men  that 
were  the  chief  of  them. 

11  And  thus  "they  returned  us 
answer,  ^saying.  We  are  the 
servants  of  the  ^God  of  heaven 
and  earth,  and  build  the  house 
that  was  builded  these  many 
years  ago,  which  ^a  great  king  of 
L^'ra-el  builded  and  set  up. 

12  But  after  that  our  fathers 
had  provoked  the  God  of  heaven 
unto  "wrath,  he  gave  them  into 
the  hand  of  ''Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar  the  king  of  "^Bab'y-lon,  the 
''Chal-de'an,  who  destroyed  this 
house,  and  ''carried  the  people 
away  into  Bab'y-lon. 

13  But  in  the  first  year  of  '^Qy'- 
rus  the  king  of  'Bab'y-lon  the 
same  king  (^y'rus  made  a  'decree 
to  build  this  house  of  God. 

14  And  the  vessels  also  of  ^gold 
and  ''silver  of  the  house  of  God, 
which  *Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  took 
out  of  the  'temple  that  was  in 
•*  Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  brought  them 
into  the  '^temple  of  Bab'y-lon, 
^those  did  ''^y'rus  the  king  take 
out  of  the  temple  of  Bab'y-lon, 
and  they  were  delivered  unto 
one,  whose  name  was  '"Shesh- 
baz'zar,  whom  he  had  made 
'^governor; 

15  And  'said  unto  him,  Take 


these  ves.sels,  go,  carry  them  into 
the  temple  that  is  in  Me-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  let  the  "house  of  God 
be  builded  in  his  place. 

16  Then  came  the  same  '"Shesh- 
baz'zar,  and  laid  the  foundation 
of  the  "house  of  God  which  is  in 
•'Je-ru'sfi-lem:  and  since  that 
time  even  until  now  hath  it  been 
in  building,  and  yet  it  is  not 
finished. 

17  Now  therefore,  if  it  seem. 
good  to  the  *'^king,  let  there  be 
search  made  in  the  king's  ■''treas- 
ure house,  which  is  there  at 
^Bab'y-lon,  whether  it  be  so,  that 
a  'decree  was  made  of  ^(^y'rus 
the  king  to  build  "this  house  of 
God  at  ^Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  let  the 
king  send  his  pleasure  to  us  con- 
cerning this  matter. 

CHAPTER  6 

The  decree  of  Cyrus  being  found,  Darius 
makes  a  new  decree  for  the  completion  of 
the  temple.  14  The  work  is  finished.  15 
The  feast  of  the  dedication  is  kept,  19  and 
the  passover. 

THEN  ""Da-rl'us  the  king 
made  a  decree,  and  search 
was  made  in  the  '"house  of  die 
'•''rolls,  where  the  treasures  were 
laid  up  in  Bab'y-lon. 

2  And  there  was  found  at  Ach'-

Let  the  '^ house  be  builded,  the 
phice  where  they  offered  'sacri- 
fices, and  let  the  foundations 
thereof  be  strongly  laid;  the 
height  thereof  threescore  "'cu- 
bits, and  the  breadth  thereof 
threescore  cubits; 
•4  With  three  rows  of  great 
"stones,  and  a  row  of  new  tim- 
ber: and  "let  the  expences  be 
given  out  of  the  king's  house: 

5  And  "also  let  the  ^golden  and 
'silver  vessels  of  the  house  of 
God,  which  ''Nelj-u-chad-nez'- 
zar  took  forth  out  of  the  ^temple 
which  is  at  'Je-ri/sa-lem,  and 
brought  unto  'Biib'y-lon,  be  re- 
stored, and  brought  again  unto 
the  'temple  which  is  at  Je-ni'sa- 
lem,  every  one  to  his  place,  and 
place  them  in  the  house  of  God. 

6  Now  therefore,  "Tat'na-I, 
^'governor  beyond  the  river, 
"She'thiir-boz'na-I,  and  your 
companions  the  A-phJir'sach- 
ites,  which  are  beyond  the 
river,  be  ye  far  from  thence: 

7  "'Let  the  work  of  this  'house 
of  God  alone;  let  the  ^governor 
of  the  ^Jew.s  and  the  ^elders  of 
the  Jews  build  this  house  of  God 
in  his  place. 

8  ""Moreover  I  make  a  decree 
what  ye  shall  do  to  the  ^elders  of 
the.se  ^Jew.s  for  the  building  of 
tliis  'hoase  of  God:  that  "of  the 
king's  goods,  eve7i  of  the  ^tribute 
lieyond  the  river,  forthwith  ex- 
pences be  given  unto  these  men, 
that  they  be  not  hindered. 

9  "'And  "that  which  they  have 
need  of,  both  young  bullocks, 
and  rams,  and  lambs,  for  the 
^burnt  offerings  of  the  God  of 
lieavcn,  *wheat,  '^salt,  ''wine,  and 
*oil,  according  to  the  appoint- 
ment of  the  'priests  which 
are  at  "Je-rii'sa-lSm,    let   it   be 


given  them  day  by  day  without 
fail: 

10  ''That  they  may  offer  sacri- 
fices of  sweet  savours  unto  the 
God  of  heaven,  and  ''pray  for 
the  life  of  the  ''king,  and  of  his

11  Also  I  have  made  a  decree, 
that  whosoever  shall  alter  this 
word,  let  timber  be  pulled  down 
from  his  house,  and  being  set  up, 
let  him  be  hanged  thereon;  and 
let  his  house  be  made  a  dung- 
hill for  this. 

12  And  the  God  that  hath 
caused  his  name  to  dwell  there 
destroy  all  kings  and  people, 
that  shall  put  to  their  hand  to 
alter  and  to  destroy  this  'house 
of  God  which  is  at  ^Je-ru^sfi-

decree;  let  it  be  done  with

boz'na-I,  and  their  companions, 
according  to  that  which  "'Dii-

did  speedily. 

14  And  the  ^elders  of  the  Jew.s 
builded,  and  they  prospered 
through  the  prophesying  of 
*Hag'ga-I  the  prophet  and 
'^Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  *Id'd6.

Ezra's  companions  from  Babylon.  15  He 
sends  to  Iddo  for  ministers  for  the  temple. 
21  He  keeps  a  fast.  24  He  commits  the

He  and  his  company  come  to  .J erusalem. 
33  The  treasure  is  weighed  in  the  temple.

at  the  place  Ca-siph'i-a,  and  I 
told  them  what  they  should  .say

Ca-siph'i-a,  that  they  should 
bring  unto  us  ^ministers  for  the 
'■'"house  of  our  God. 

IS  And  by  the  good  hand  of  our 
"God  upon  us  they  brought  us  a 
man  of  understanding,  of  the 
sons  of  Miih'll,  the  son  of  "Le'vl 
the  son  of  '^Is'ra-el;  and  Sher- 
e-bl'ah,  with  bis  sons  and  his 
brethren,  eighteen; 

19  And  Hash-a-bi'ah,  and  with 
him  Je-sha'iah  of  the  *sons  of 
Me-ra'ri,  his  brethren  and  tiieir 
sons,  twenty; 

20  Also  of  the  *Neth'i-nTms, 
whom  '^Da'vid  and  the  princes 
had  appointed  for  the  service  of 
the  *Le'vItes,  two  hundred  and 
twenty  Neth'i-nim.s :  all  of  them 
were  expressed  by  name. 

21  ^  Then  "I  proclaimed  a  *fast 
there,  at  the  river  of  A-ha'va, 
that  M'e  might  ^' 'afflict  ourselves 
before  our  God,  to  ''seek  of  him 
a  '^right  way  for  us,  and  for  our 
"little  ones,  and  for  all  our  sub- 
stance. 

22  ^For  "I  was  ashamed  tf)  re- 
quire of  the  king  a  band  of  ^.sol- 
diers and  horsemen  to  help  us 
against  the  enemy  in  the  way: 
because  we  had  spoken  unto  the 
king,  saying,  ^'^The  "hand  of 
our  God  is  upon  *all  them  for 
good  that  "^.seek  him;  but  his 
''power  and  his  wrath  is  against 
all  them  that  ^forsake  him. 

23  So  we  ^fasted  and  be.souirht 


our  God  for  this:  and  he  was 
^iiitreated  of  us. 

24  ^  Then  I  separated  twelve 
of  the  chief  of  the  ''priests,  Sher- 
e-bi'ah,  H&sh-a-bi'ah,  and  ten  of 
their  brethren  with  them, 

25  And  weighed  unto  them  the 
'silver,  and  the  'gold,  and  the 
vessels,  even  the  offering  of 
the  ^house  of  our  God,  which 
the  king,  and  his  counsellors, 
and  his  lords,  and  all  Ls'ra-el 
there  pre.sent,  'had  offered: 

26  I  even  weighed  unto  their 
hand  six  hundred  and  fifty  "'tal- 
ents of  'silver,  and  silver  ves.sels 
an  hundred  talents,  and  of  'gold 
an  hundred  talents; 

27  x\lso  twenty  "basons  of  'gold, 
of  a  thousand  ^-"drams;  and  two 
vessels  of  fine  ^•'"'copper,  pre- 
cious as  gold. 

28  And  I  said  unto  them.  Ye 
are  holy  unto  the  Lord;  the 
ves.sels  are  holy  also;  and  the 
'silver  and  the  'gold  are  a  'free- 
will ofifering  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  your  fathers. 

29  Watch  ye,  and  keep  iliem, 
until  ye  weigh  tliem  before  the 
chief  of  the  ^priests  and  the 
''Le'vites,  and  chief  of  the  fa- 
thers of  Is'ra-cl,  at  *Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  in  the  chambers  of  the 
''hou.se  of  the  I^ord. 

30  So  took  the  '^priests  and  the 
''Le'vites  the  weight  of  the;  'sil- 
ver, and  the  ^gold,  and  the  ves- 
sels, to  bring  thrm  to  *Je-rii'sa- 
lem  unto  the  ^' 'house  of  our 
God. 

31  ^  Then  we  de])arted  from 
the  river  of  A-ha'va  on  the

CHAPTER  9 

TJie  princes  complain  to  Ezra  of  the  inter- 
marriiipes  of  the  people  with  the  heatlien. 
3  II is  distress  on  account  of  them.  5  His 
cotijcssion  and  prayer  to  God. 

OW  when  these  things  were 
done,  "the  princes  came 
to  ''me,  saying.  The  people  of 
Ls'ra-el,  and  the  "■'^priests,  and 
the  '^Le'vites,  %ave  not  separat- 
ed themselves  from  the  people  of 
the  lands,  doing  according  to 
their  abominations,  even  of  the 
''Ca'naan-Ites,  the  ''Hit'tltes,  the 


N 


'Per'iz-zites,  the  '  Jeb'u-sites,  the 
*Am'mon-ites,  the  'Mo'ab-Ites, 
the  '"E-gyp'tians,  and  the  "Am'- 
or-ites. 

2  For  "they  have  ^-^taken  of 
their  daughters  for  themselves, 
and  for  their  sons:  so  that  the 
holy  seed  have  mingled  them- 
selves with  the  people  of  tho,se 
lands :  yea,  the  hand  of  the  prin- 
ces and  rulers  hath  been  chief  in 
this  trespass. 

3  And  when  I  heard  this  thing, 
I  ''•^rent  my  garment  and  my 
*mantle,  and  plucked  off  the  hair 
of  my  head  and  of  my  'beard, 
and  sat  down  astonied. 

4  Then  were  assembled  unto 
me  every  one  that  trembled  at 
the  words  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-cl, 
because  of  the  transgression  of 
those  that  had  been  "carried 
away;  and  I  sat  astonied  until 
the  evening  ^'sacrifice. 

5  T[  And  at  the  evening  ''sacri- 
fice I  arose  up  from  my  Hieavi- 
ness;  and  having  ''rent  my  gar- 
ment and  my  mantle,  I  "fell  up- 
on my  knees,  and  spread  out  my 
hands  unto  the  Lord  my  God, 

6  And  ^'^said,  O  my  God,  I 
am  ashamed  and  ^blush  to  lift 
up  my  face  to  thee,  my  God :  for 
"our  ''iniquities  are  increased 
over  our  head,  and  our  ^trespass 
is  grown  up  unto  the  heavens. 

7  Since  the  days  of  our  fathers 
have  we  been  hn  a  great  trespass 
unto  this  day;  and  for  our  ''in- 
iquities have  we,  our  kings,  and 
our  priests,  ''been  delivered  into 
the  hand  of  the  kings  of  the 
lands,  to  the  sword,  to  ^captivity, 
and  to  a  spoil,  and  to  confusion 
of  face,  as  it  is  this  day. 

8  And  ''now  for  a  little  space 
^grace  hath  been  shewed  from 
the  Lord  our  God,  to  leave  us  a

us  a  ''nail  in  hi.s  holy  place,  that 
our  God  may  lighten  our  eyes, 
and  give  us  a  little  reviving  in 
our  'bondage. 

9  For  we  were  bondmen;  ^-et 
our  God  ^hath  not  forsaken  us 
in  our  'bondage,  but  hath  ex- 
tended mercy  unto  us  in  the 
sight  of  the  kings  of  ^'Per'.sia,  to 
give  us  a  reviving,  to  set  up  the 
'house  of  our  God,  and  to  repair 
the  desolations  thereof,  and  to 
give  us  a  wall  in  "'Ju'dah  and  in 
"Je-rii'sa-lem. 

10  And  now,  O  our  God,  what 
shall  we  say  after  this  ?  for  "■''we 
have  "•  ^'forsaken  thy  ^command- 
ments, 

11  Which  thou  hast  ''command- 
ed by  thy  servants  the  prophets, 
saying,  The  land,  unto  which  ye 
go  to  possess  it,  is  an  ^unclean 
land  with  the  filthiness  of  the 
'people  of  the  lands,  with  their 
abominations,  which  have  filled 
it  from  one  eiid  to  another  with 
their  vmcleanness. 

12  Now  therefore  "give  not 
your  daughters  unto  their  sons, 
neither  take  their  daughters  un- 
to your  sons,  nor  seek  their  peace 
or  their  wealth  for  ever:  "that  ye 
may  be  strong,  and  eat  tlie  good 
of  the  land,  and  leave  if  for  an 
inheritance  to  your  children  for 
ever. 

13  'And  after  '^•''all  that  is  come 
upon  us  for  our  evil  deeds,  and 
for  our  great  ''trespass,  seeing 
that  "thou  our  God  hast  ])un- 
i.shed  us  ^less  than  our  ini(|ui- 
ties  deserve,  and  hast  given  us 
fiurh  Meliverance  as  this; 

14  "Should  we  again  ''break  thy 
commandments,  and  join  in  af- 
finity with  ''the  people  of  these 
abominations?  wouldest  not 
thou  be  ^angry  with  us  till  thou 
hadst  consumed  us,  so  that  there 
should  be  no  remnant  nor  escap- 
ing? 


15  O  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
thou  art  "righteous:  for  we  re- 
main yet  escaped,  as  it  is  this 
tlay:  behold,  ''we  are  before  thee 
in  our  trespasses:  for  we  cannot 
stand  before  thee  because  of 
this. 

CHAPTER  10 

Ezra  is  encouraged  to  begin  the  irnrk  of  re- 
form. 6  IJe  a.tscmbles  and  crliorts  the 
people,  y  Then  eanfess  their  sins,  and 
promise  amendment.  18  The  names  of 
those  who  had  married  strange  wives. 

^OW  'when  "■"•^Ez'ra  had 
-^  'Sprayed,  and  when  he 
had  confessed,  ^weeping  and 
casting  himself  down  before  the 
''house  of  God,  there  assembled 
unto  him  out  of  Is'ra-el  a  very 
great  congregation  of  men  and 
women  and  children:  for  "-''the 
people  wept  very  sore. 

2  And  Shech-a-ni'ah  the  son 
of  Je-hi'el,  one  of  the  sons  of 
E'lam,  answered  and  said  unto 
"Ez'ra,  "''We  have  trespassed 
against  our  God,  and  have 
'•''taken  strange  wives  of  the 
people  of  the  land:  yet  now 
there  is  hope  in  Ls'ra-el  con- 
cerning this  thing. 

3  "Now  therefore  let  us  make  a 
covenant  with  our  God  to  put 
away  all  the  wives,  and  such  as 
are  born  of  them,  according  to 
the  counsel  of  my  lord,  and  of 
'those  that  ""tremble  at  the  com- 
mandment of  our  God;  and  let  it 
be  done  according  to  the  law. 

4  Arise;  for  this  matter  helong- 
eth.  unto  thee:  we  also  will  he 
with  thee:  be  of  good  courage, 
and  do  it. 

5  Then  arose  "Ez'ra,  and  made 
the  chief  "priests,  the  "Le'vltes, 
and  all  Ls'ra-el,  to  swear  that 
they  should  do  according  to  this 
word.   And  they  ''sware. 

6  Then  "Ez'ra  rose  up  from  be- 
fore the  'house  of  God,  and  went 
into  the  chamber  of  J6-ha'nan 
the  son  of  £-ll'a-shib:  and  when 
he  came  thither,  he  did  'eat  no

many  that  have  transgressed  in 
this  thing. 

1-1  Let  now  our  ^rulers  of  all  the 
congregation  stand,  and  let  all 
them  which  have  taken  strange 
wives  in  our  cities  come  at  ap- 
pointed times,  and  with  them  the 
'elders  of  every  city,  and  the 
'judges  thereof,  until  the  fierce 
'wrath  of  our  God  for  this  mat- 
ter be  turned  ^rom  us. 

15  Only  Jon'a-than  the  son 
of  A'sa-hel  and  Ja-ha.-zi'ah  the 
son  of  Tik'vah  were  employed 
about  this  matter:  and  Me-shiil'- 
lain  and  Shab'be-thai  the  Le'- 
vite  helped  them. 

16  And  the  ^children  of  the  cap- 
tivity did  so.  And  '^Ez'ra  the 
priest,  with  certain  chief  of  the 
fathers,  after  the  house  of  their 
fathers,  and  all  of  them  by  their 
names,  were  separated,  and 
sat  down  in  the  first  day  of  the 
tenth  "'month  to  examine  the 
matter. 

17  And  they  made  an  end  with 
all  the  men  that  had  ^taken 
strange  wives  by  the  first  day  of 
the  first  '"month. 

IS  T[  And  among  the  "sons  of 
the  "priests  there  were  found 
that  had  ''taken  strange  wives: 
namely,  of  the  sons  of  "''■"Jesh'- 
u-a  the  son  of  *Joz'a-dak,  and 
his  brethren;  Ma-a-se'iah,  and 
E-li-e'zer,  and  Ja'rib,  and  Ged-

19  And  they  ''gave  their  ■'"hands 
that  they  would  '^put  away  their

Nehcmlah,  hearing  from  Hananl  of  the  de- 
plorable condition  of  Jerusalem,  mourns, 
fasts,  and  prays.     5  His  prayer. 

THE  words  of  *Ne-he-mi'ah 
the  son  of  °Hach-a-li'ah. 
And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
"month  Chis'leu,  in  the  twenti- 
eth year,  as  I  was  i.i  ''Shii'shan 
the  ''pahice, 

2  Tiiat  ^Ha-nil'nl,  one  of  my 
brethren,  came,  he  and  certain 
men  of  ^Ju'dah;  and  *'''I  asked 
them  concerning  the  ''Jews  that 
had  escaped,  which  w^ere  left  of 
the  ^captivity,  and  concerning 
'Je-rii'sa-lem. 

3  And  they  said  unto  me.  The 
remnant  that  are  left  of  the  'cap- 
tivity there  in  the  province  are  in 
great  ''affliction  and  reproach: 
the  wall  of  ^Je-r\/sa-lem  also 
is  broken  down,  and  the  'gates 
thereof  are  burned  with  fire. 

4  T[  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
I  heard  these  words,  that  I  sat 
down  and  "'wept,  and  "mourned 
certain  days,  and  "fasted,  and 
^•'prayed  before  the  God  of 
heaven, 

5  And  ^"'said,  *I  beseech  thee, 
O  Lord  ^God  of  heaven,  the 
great  and  terrible  God,  '^that 
keepeth  ^covenant  and  mercy 
for  them  that  'love  him  and 
"observe  his  commandments: 

6  Let  thine  ear  now  be  atten- 
tive, and  thine  eyes  open,  that 
thou  mayest  hear  the  prayer  of 
thy  servant,  which  I  pray  before 
thee  now,  day  and  night,  "for  the 


children  of  Is'ra-el  thy  servants, 
and  "'confess  the  ^sins  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  we 
have  sinned  against  thee:  ^both 
I  and  my  father's  house  have 
sinned. 

7  ^'  ^We  have  dealt  very  cor- 
ruptly against  thee,  and  ^have 
not  kept  the  "commandments, 
nor  the  statutes,  nor  the  judg- 
ments, vvhich  thou  command- 
edst  thy  servant  Mo'.ses. 

8  Remember,  I  beseech  thee, 
the  word  that  thou  command- 
edst  thy  servant  INIo'.ses,  saying, 
Ij  ye  transgress,  ''I  will  scatter 
you  aVjroad  among  the  na- 
tions: 

9  But  '■//  ye  ''turn  unto  me,  and 
keep  my  commandments,  and 
do  them;  though  there  were  of 
you  cast  out  unto  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  heaven,  yet  ^will  I 
gather  them  from  thence,  and 
'will  bring  them  unto  the  place 
that  I  have  chosen  to  set  my 
name   there. 

10  Now  these  are  thy  servants 
and  thy  people,  whom  thou  hast 
redeemed  by  thy  great  "power, 
and  by  thy  strong  hand. 

11  O  Lord,  *I  beseech  thee, 
let  now  thine  ear  be  attentive  to 
the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  to 
the  prayer  of  thy  servants,  who 
^desire  to  fear  thy  name:  and 
''prosper,  I  pray  thee,  thy  servant 
this  day,  and  grant  him  mercy 
in  the  sight  of  this  man.  For  I 
was   the   ^king's  'cupbearer.

CHAPTER  2 

\eUcmich  is  sent  bu  Artaxerxcs  to  repair 
the  walls  of  Jerusalem.  9  His  arrival 
there  is  a  source  ol  grief  to  the  enemies  of 
the  Jews.  12  He  ricirs  bu  night  the  ruins 
of  the  walls.  17  His  exhortation  to  the 
people. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
"month  Nfsan,  in  the 
twentieth  year  of  ''Ar-tax-erx'e.s 
the  king,  that  ^Avine  was  before 
him:  and  "^-^I  took  up  the  wine, 
and  gave  it  unto  the  king.  Now 
I  had  not  been  brforetime  sad 
in  his  presence. 

2  Wherefore  the  *king  said  un- 
to me,  Why  is  thy  ^countenance 
sad,  seeing  thou  art  not  sick  ? 
this  is  nothing  else  but  sorrow  of 
heart.  Then  I  was  very  sore 
afraid, 

3  And  said  unto  the  king,  I>et 
the  king  live  for  ever:  ''why 
should  not  my  countenance  be 
sad,  when  the  "city,  the  place 
of  my  fathers'  sepulchres,  lietli 
waste,  and  the  gates  thereof  are 
consumed  with  fire  ? 

4  Then  the  king  said  unto  me, 
For  what  dost  thou  make  Cre- 
epiest ?  So  I  'prayed  to  the  God 
of  heaven. 

5  And  I  said  unto  the  king,  If  it 
please  the  king,  and  if  thy  seiv- 
ant  have  found  favour  in  thy 
sight,  that  thou  wouldest  send 
me  unto  JuMuh,  unto  the  ''city 
of  my  fathers'  sc})iilchrcs,  "that 
I  may  build  it. 

6  x\nd  the  "king  said  unto  me, 
(the  *' 'queen  also  sitting  by 
him,)  For  how  long  shall  thy 
journey  he  ?  and  when  wilt  thou 
return  ?  So  it  pleased  the  king 
to  send  me;  and  I  set  him  a  time. 

7  ^Moreover  I  said  unto  the 
king.  If  it  please  the  king,  let 
'"letters  be  given  me  to  the  "g;)V- 
ernors  beyond  the  "river,  that 
they  may  'convey  me  over  till  I 
come  into  Ju'dah; 


8  And  a  ""letter  unto  A'saph  the 
keeper  of  the  king's  forest,  that 
he  may  give  me  timber  to  make 
beams  for  the  gates  of  the  palace 
which  appertained  to  the  house, 
and  for  the  ^wall  of  the  city,  and 
for  the  house  that  I  shall  enter 
into.  And  the  king  granted  me, 
according  to  the  good  hand  of 
my   'God   upon   me. 

9  Tl  Then  I  came  to  the  "gov- 
ernors beyond  the  "river,  and 
gave  them  the  king's  "'letters. 
Now  the  king  had  sent  ''cap- 
tains of  the  army  and  ^horsemen 
with  me. 

10  When  *San-bal'lat  the 
'Hor'o-nlte,  and  ^To-bi'ah  the 
servant,  the  "Am'mon-ite,  heard 
of  it,  ^\t  grieved  them  exceed- 
ingly that  there  was  come  a  man 
to  seek  the  welfare  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el. 

1 1  t  So  '^I  came  to  '^Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  was  there  three  days. 

12  And  I  arose  in  the  night,  I 
and  some  few  men  with  me; 
'^neither  told  I  any  man  what 
my  God  had  put  in  my  heart  to 
do  at  '*  Je-rii'sa-lem :  neither  was 
there  anij  beast  with  me,  save  the 
beast  tliat  I  rode  upon. 

13  And  I  went  out  by  night  by 
the  ^gate  of  the  valley,  even  be- 
fore the  dragon  well,  and  to  the 
thing  port,  and  viewed  the  ^walls 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  were  bro- 
ken down,  and  the  gates  thereof 
were  consumed  with  fire. 

14  Then  I  went  on  to  the  ^gate 
of  the  fountain,  and  to  the  king's 
''pool:  but  there  was  no  place 
for  the  beast  that  was  under  me 
to  pass. 

15  Then  went  I  up  in  the  night 
by  the  ^-"brook,  and  viewed  tlu> 
'^wall,  and  turned  back,  and  (mi- 
tered  by  the  ''gate  of  the  valley, 
and  sn  returned.

16  And  the  rulers  knew  not 
whither  I  went,  or  what  I  did; 
neither  had  I  as  yet  told  it  to  the 
''Jews,  nor  to  the  '^priests,  nor  to 
the  nobles,  nor  to  the  rulers,  nor 
to  the  rest  that  did  the  work. 

17  Then  said  I  unto  them.  Ye 
see  the  distress  that  we  are  in, 
how  Je-ru'sa-lem  licth  waste, 
and  the  'Agates  thereof  are  burn- 
ed with  fire:  come,  and  'let  us 
build  up  the  ''wall  of  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  that  we  be  no  more  a  re- 
proach. 

18  Then  I  told  them  of  the 
hand  of  my  "God  which  was 
good  upon  me:  as  also  the  king's 
words  that  he  had  spoken  unto 
me.  And  they  said,  Let  us  rise 
up  and  build.  So  they  strength- 
ened their  hands  for  this  good 
ivork. 

19  But  when  San-bal'lat  the 
"Hor'o-nite,  and  To-bi'ah  the 
servant,  the  *Am'mon-ite,  and 
'Ge'shem  the  *^A-ra'bi-an,  hearri 
it,  they  'laughed  us  to  scorn, 
and  despised  us,  and  said,  What 
is  this  thing  that  ye  do  ?  will  ye 
rebel  against  the  king  ? 

20  Then  answered  I  them,  and 
said  unto  them.  The  God  of 
heaven,  ""he  will  prosper  us; 
therefore  we  his  servants  will 
arise  and  build:  but  ye  have  no 
portion,  nor  right,  nor  memorial, 
in  "Je-rii'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  names  of  those  who  built  the  wall,  and 
the  order  of  the  work. 

THEN  «E-li'a-shib  the  "high 
priest  rose  up  with  his 
brethren  the  '^priests,  and  ''they 
''builded  the  'sheep  gate;  they 
sanctified  it,  and  set  up  the  doors 
of  it;  even  unto  the  "'''tower  of 
Me'ah  they  sanctified  it,  unto 
the  "'''tower  of  Hfi-nan'e-el. 

2  And  next  unto  him  builded 
the  men  of  "^Jer'i-cho.    And  next 


to  them  builded  ZS,c'cur  the  son 
of   Im'rI. 

3  But  the  'fish  gate  did  the  sons 
of  Has-se-na'ah  build,  who  also 
laid  the  beams  thereof,  and  set 
up  the  doors  thereof,  the  ^' 'locks 
thereof,  and  the  bars  thereof. 

4  And  next  unto  them  ^repaired 
Mer'e-moth  the  son  of  U-ri'jah, 
the  son  of  Koz.  And  next  unto 
them  repaired  Me-shiil'lam  the 
son  of  Ber-e-chi'ah,  the  son  of 
Mc-shez'a-beel.  And  next  unto 
them  i-epaired  Za'dok  the  son  of 
Ba'a-na. 

5  And  next  unto  them  the  ^Te- 
ko'ites  ''repaired;  but  their  no- 
bles 'put  not  their  necks  to  the 
work  of  their  "Lord. 

6  Moreover  the  'old  gate  "re- 
paired Je-hoi'a-da  the  son  of 
Pa-se/ah,  and  Me-shiil'lam  the 
■son  of  Bes-o-de'iah;  they  laid 
the  beams  thereof,  and  set  up 
the  doors  thereof,  and  the  'locks 
thereof,  and  the  bars  thereof. 

7  And  next  unto  them  "repaired 
^lel-a-ti'ah  the  Gib'e-on-Ite,  and 
Jil'don  the  Me-ron'o-thite,  the 
men  of  Gib'e-on,  and  of  '"Mtz'- 
pah,  unto  the  throne  of  the  "gov- 
ernor on  this  side  the  river. 

8  Next  unto  liim  repaired  Uz'-

the  *goldsmiths.  Next  unto  him 
also  repaired  Han-a-ni'ah  the 
son  of  one  of  the  ^apothecaries, 
and  they  fortified  Je-rii'sa-lem 
unto  the  "broad  wall. 

9  And  next  unto  them  ^repaired 
Reph-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Hur,  the 
"•"ruler  of  the  half  part  of  Je-rii'-

10  And  next  unto  them  "repair- 
ed  Je-da'iah  the  son  of  Ha-rii'-

CHAPTER  4 

White  the  enemy  scoff,  Nehemiah  prays  and 
continues  the  work.  7  Knowing  the  se- 
cret design  of  the  encinii,  he  sets  a  watch. 
13  He  arms  the  laborers,  11)  and  gives 
them  directions  how  to  act. 

BUT  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  "San-bal'lat  heard 
that  ''•^we  builded  the  ''wall,  he 
was  wroth,  and  took  great   in- 


dignation,  and   ''"mocked  the 
*Jew.s. 

2  x\nd  he  spake  before  his 
brethren  and  the  army  of  ''Sa- 
ma'ri-a,  and  said,  "What  do 
these  feeble  *  Jews  ?  'will  they 
'fortify  themselves  ?  will  they 
sacrifice?  will  they  make  an 
end  in  a  day?  will  they  revive 
the  stones  out  of  the  heaps 
of  the  rubbish  which  are 
burned  ? 

3  Now  ^To-bi'ah  the  Am'mon- 
Ite  was  by  him,  and  he  said. 
Even  that  which  they  build,  if  a 
'fox  go  up,  he  shall  even  break 
down  their  "'stone  ''wall. 

4  "Hear,  O  our  God;  for  we 
are  despised:  and  turn  their  re- 
proach upon  their  own  head, 
and  give  them  for  a  prey  in  the 
land  of  captivity: 

5  And  cover  not  their  iniquity, 
and  let  not  their  sin  be  blotted 
out  from  before  thee:  for  tiiey 
have  provoked  thee  to  "anger  be- 
fore the  builders. 

6  So  built  we  the  ''wall;  and 
all  the  wall  was  joined  together 
unto  the  half  thereof:  for  the 
people  *'^had  a  mind  to  work.

7  TI  But  it  came  to  pass,  tliat 
when  "San-bal'lat,  and  *^T6-bi'- 
ah,  and  the  *A-ra,'bi-an.s,  and  the 
'.\m'iiioii-ites,  and  the  *Ash'- 
dod-ites,  heard  that  the  '■''walls 
of  Je-ni'stt-lem  -were  made  up, 
and  that  the  breaches  began  to 
be  stopped,  then  they  were  very 
'wroth, 

8  And  "conspired  all  of  them 
together  to  come  and  to  fight 
against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  to 
hinder  it. 

9  '^Nevertheless  we  made  our 
"'prayer  unto  our  God,  and 
•^-  ^set  a  ^watch  against  them  day 
and  night,  because  of  them. 

10  And  *Ju'dah  '^said.  The 
strength  of  the  bearers  of 
burdens  is  decayed,  and 
there  is  much  rubbish;  so  that 
we  are  not  able  to  build  the 
*wall. 

11  And  our  adversaries  said. 
They  shall  not  know,  neither 
see,  till  we  come  in  the  midst 
among  them,  and  slay  them,  and 
cause  the  work  to  cease. 

12  \  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  the  *Jew.s  which  dwelt  by 
them  came,  they  said  unto  us  ten 
times.  From  all  places  whence 
ye  shall  return  unto  us  tliey  will 
he  upon  yon. 

13  Therefore  set  I  in  the  lower 
places  behind  the  ''wall,  and  on 
the  '^higher  places,  I  even  '^set 
the  people  after  their  families 
with  their  ''swords,  their  ''spears, 
and  their  'bows. 

14  And  I  looked,  and  rose  u[), 
and  said  unto  the  nobles,  and 
to  the  rulers,  and  to  the  rest  of 
the  i)eople,  "Be  not  ye  afraid 
of  them:  ivmember  the  Lord, 
whicli  is-  great  and  terrible,  and 
fight  for  your  brethren,  your 
sons,  and  your  daughters,  your 
wives,  and  your  hou.ses. 

15  And  it  came  to  yniss,  wlien 
our  enemies  heard  that  it  was 
known   unto  us,   and   God  had 

743 


''brought  their  counsel  to  nought, 

that  'we  returned  all   of   us  to 

every   one    unto    his 


the  ^vall 
work. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  from 
that  time  forth,  '^that  the  half 
of  my  servants  wrought  in  the 
work,  and  ''the  other  half  of 
them  held  both  the  ^spears,  the 
'shields,  and  the  'bows,  and 
the  '^habergeons;  and  the  rulers 
were  behind  all  the  house  of 
Ju'dah. 

17  They  which  builded  on  the 
''wall,  and  they  that  bare  bur- 
dens, with  those  that  laded, 
every  one  ''with  one  of  his 
hands  wrought  in  the  work 
and  with  the  other  ha7id  held  a 
weapon. 

IS  For  the  builders,  every  one 
''had  his  sword  girded  by  his 
side,  and  so  builded.  And  he 
that  sounded  the  'trumpet  was 
by  me. 

19  And  I  said  unto  the  nobles, 
and  to  the  rulers,  and  to  the  rest 
of  the  pe(^ple.  The  work  is  great 
and  large,  and  we  are  separated 
upon  the  *wall,  one  far  from 
another. 

20  In  what  place  tJterefore  ye 
hear  the  sound  of  the  'trumpet, 
resort  ye  thither  unto  us:  '"our 
''God  shall  fight  for  us. 

21  So  'we  laboured  in  the  work: 
and  half  of  them  held  the  spears 
from  the  rising  of  the  morning 
till  the  stars  ap])cared. 

22  Likewise  at  the  same  time 
said  1  unto  the  people.  Let  every 
one  with  his  servant  lodge  within 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  in  ihe  night 
they  may  be  a  guard  to  us,  and 
labour  on  the  day. 

23  'So  neither  1,  nor  my 
brethren,  nor  my  servants, 
nor  the  men  of  the  guard 
which  followed  me,  none  f)f  us 
put  off  our  clothes,  Kmninrf  that 
every  one  put  them  off  for 
washing.

Certain  Jews  tomplain  of  their  Paidshlps. 
6  Nehemlah  rebukes  the  usurers,  and 
causes  them  to  make  restitution.  14  His 
good  example. 

AND  there  was  a  great  cry 
of  the  people  and  of  their 
wives  against  their  brethren  the 
"Jews. 

2  For  there  were  that  said,  We, 
our  sons,  and  our  daughters,  are 
many:  therefore  we  take  up  corn 
/or  them,  that  we  may  eat,  and 
live. 

3  Some  also  there  were  that 
said,  ''We  'have  mortgaged  our 
''lands,  ''vineyards,  and  '^houses, 
that  we  might  buy  corn,  because 
of  the  Mearth. 

4  There  were  also  that  said.  We 
have  "•''borrowed  'money  for  the 
king's  ^tribute,  and  that  upon  our 
'"lands  and  "^vineyards. 

5  Yet  now  our  flesh  is  as  the 
flesh  of  our  brethren,  our  chil- 
dren as  their  children:  and,  lo, 
^\ve  bring  in  to  bondage  our 
'sons  and  our  daughters  to  be 
servants,  and  ^some  of  our 
daughters  are  brought  unto 
bondage  already',  neither  vs  it 
in  our  power  to  redeem  them; 
for  '"other  men  have  oiu'  ''lands 
and  ''vineyards. 

6  ^  And  "I  was  very  "angry 
when  I  heard  their  cry  and  these 
words. 

7  Then  "•  ^I  consulted  with  my- 
self, and  I  'rebuked  the  ''nobles, 
and  the  "rulers,  and  said  unto 
them,  'Ye  exact  "usury,  every 
one  of  his  brother.  And  I  set  a 
great  assembly  against  them. 

8  And  I  'said  unto  them, 
"We  after  our  ability  ^'^have 
redeemed  our  I'brethren  the 
Jews,  which  were  sold  unto 
the  heathen;  and  will  ye  even 
sell  your  brethren  ?  or  shall 
they  be  sold  unto  us  ?  Then 
held  they  their  peace,  and 
found  nothing  to  answer. 

9  Also  I  'said,  It  is  not  good 


that  ye  do:  ought  ye  not  to  walk 
in  the  ^fear  of  our  God  because 
of  the  reproach  of  the  heathen 
our  enemies  ? 

101  likewise,  and  my  brethren, 
and  my  servants,  ^might  exact  of 
them  "money  and  *corn:  ''I  pray 
you,  "let  us  leave  oft'  this  usury. 

11  Restore,  1  *pray  you,  to 
them,  even  this  day,  their  %nds, 
their  ''vineyards,  their  olive- 
yards,  and  their  ''houses,  also  the 
hundredth  part  of  the  "money, 
and  of  the  ''corn,  the  Hvine,  and 
the  'oil,  that  ye  exact  of  them. 

]  2  Then  said  they,  ^ We  will  re- 
store tlievi,  and  will  require  noth- 
ing of  them;  so  will  we  do  as 
thou  sayest.  Then  I  called  the 
'priests,  and  took  an  '"oath  of 
them,  that  they  should  do  ac- 
coi'ding  to  this  "^promise. 

13  Also  I  shook  my  lap,  and 
said.  So  God  shake  out  every 
man  from  his  liouse,  and  from 
his  labour,  that  performeth  not 
this  promise,  even  thus  be  he 
shaken  out,  and  emptied.  And 
all  the  congregation  said,  A- 
men',  and  praised  the  Lord. 
And  the  people  did  according  to 
this  '^promise. 

14  *\  Moreover  from  the  time 
that  I  was  appointed  to  be  their 
"governor  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah, 
from  tlie  twentieth  year  even 
unto  the  two  and  thirtieth  year 
of  ''Ar-ta.\-erx'e.s  the  king,  that 
is,  twelve  years,  "I  and  my  breth- 
ren '•'■•"have  not  eaten  the  bread 
of  the  governor. 

15  But  the  former  'governors 
that  Jiad  been  before  me  were 
chargeable  unto  the  })eople,  and 
had  taken  of  them  "bread  and 
'wine,  beside  forty  ^'shekels  of 
"'silver;  yea,  even  their  servants

'^■"•^so  did  not  I,  because  of  the

bought  we  any  land:  and  all  my 
servants  were  gathered  thither 
unto  the  work. 

17  Moreover  "there  were  at  my 
table  an  hundred  and  fifty  of  the 
*Jew.s  and  rulers,  "beside  those 
that  came  unto  us  from  among 
the  heathen  that  are  about  us. 

18  Now  that  which  was  pre- 
pared jor  me  daily  was  one  '^ox 
and  six  choice  ''sheep;  also  fowls 
were  prepared  for  me,  and  once 
in  ten  days  store  of  all  sorts  of 
'wine:  yet  for  all  this  '•''required 
not  I  the  bread  of  the  governor, 
'^because  the  bondage  was  heavy 
upon  this  people. 

19  Think  upon  me,  my  God, 
for  good,  according  to  \all  that  1 
have  done  for  this  people. 

CHAPTER  6 

The  insidious  atlcmpts  of  Sanballat  to  hin- 
der the  rcbuUdtng  of  the  wall.  15  The 
work  finished.  17  Secret  correspondence 
kept  up  between  the  nobles  of  Judah  and 
Tobtah. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"San-bal'lat,  and  *T6-bi'- 
ah,  and  '^Ge'shem  the  A-ra'bi- 
an,  and  the  rest  of  our  enemies, 
heard  that  '^I  had  builded  the 
"^wall,  and  that  there  was  no 
breach  left  therein;  (though  at 
tliat  time  I  had  not  set  up  the 
doors  upon  the  gates;) 

2  That  "San-bal'lat  and  -^Ge'- 
shem  'sent  unto  me,  saying, 
Come,  let  us  meet  together  in 
some  one  of  the  villages  in  tiie 
plain  of  "O'no.  But  tliey 
''thought  to  do  me  mischief. 

3  And  1  sent  messengers  un- 
to them,  saying,  'I  am  doing  a 
great  work,  so  that  ^'^I  cannot 
come  down:  why  should  the 
work  cease,  whilst  I  leave  it, 
and  come  down  to  you  ? 

4  Yet  they  .sent  unto  me  four 
times  after  this  sort;  and  ^I  an- 
swered them  after  the  same 
manner. 

5  1  Then  sent  "San-bai'lat  his 
servant  unto  me  in  like  manner 


the  fifth  time  with  an  open  'letter 
in  his  hand; 

6  Wherein  was  written,  '"It  is 
reported  among  the  'heathen, 
and  "^Gash'mii  saith  it,  ^that 
thou  and  the  Jew.s  think  io  re- 
bel: for  wiiich  cause  thou  build- 
est  the  wall,  that  thou  mayest  be 
their  king,  according  to  these 
words. 

7  And  "thou  hast  also  appoint- 
ed "prophets  to  preach  of  thee  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying,  There  w  a 
king  in  ^Jfi'dah:  and  now  shall 
it  be  reported  to  the  king  ac- 
cording to  these  words.  Come 
now  therefore,  and  let  us  take 
counsel  together. 

8  Then  I  sent  unto  him,  say- 
ing. There  are  no  such  things 
done  as  thou  sayest,  but  thou 
*feignest  them  out  of  thine  own 
heart. 

9  Fo'-  they  all  made  us  afraid, 
saying,  Their  hands  shall  be 
weakened  from  the  work,  that 
it  be  not  done.  Now  there- 
fore, ^0  God,  'strengthen  my 
hands. 

10  ^  Afterward  ''I  came  unto 
the  house  of  Shem-a-i'ah  the  son 
of  Del-a-l'ah  the  son  of  Me-het'- 
a-beel,  who  was  shut  up;  and  he 
said.  Let  us  meet  together  in  the 
'house  of  God,  within  the  "tem- 
ple, and  "let  us  shut  the  doors  of 
the  temple:  for  they  will  come  to 
slay  tiiee;  yea,  in  the  night  will 
they  come  to  slay  thee. 

11  And  I  '"said.  Should  such  a 
man  as  I  flee  ?  and  who  is  there, 
that,  being  as  I  am,  would  go  in- 
to the  temple  to  save  his  life?  I 
will  not  go  in. 

12  And,  lo,  I  perceived  that 
God  had  not  sent  him;  but  that 
^-  ''he  pronounced  this  prophecy 
against  me:  for  T6-bi'ah  and 
San-brd'lat  had  'hired  him. 

13  Therefore  was  he  hired, 
"that  1  should  be  afraid,  and  do 
so,  and  sin,  and  that  they  might

cording to  these  their  works,  and 
on  the  ''•'prophetess  N5-a-dfah,

woukl  have  put  me  in  fear. 

15  ^  So  the  ^wall  was  finished 
in  the  twenty  and  fifth  day  of  the 
''month  E'lul,  in  fifty  and  two 
days. 

16  And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  that 
when  all  our  enemies  heard 
thereof,  and  all  the  heathen  that 
loere  about  us  saw  these  things, 
they  were  much  cast  down  in 
their  own  eyes:  for  they  per- 
ceived that  'this  work  was 
wrought  of  our  ^God. 

17  *|[  Moreover  in  those  days 
the  ^nobles  of  Ju'dah  'sent  many 
'"letters  unto  "^To-bl'ah,  and  tJie 
letters  of  T6-bl'ah  came  unto 
them. 

18  For  there  were  many  in  ^'Jil'- 
dah  '-"sworn  unto  him,  because 
he  was  the  son  in  law  of  Shech- 
a-nl'ah  the  son  of  A'rah;  and 
his  son  Jo-ha'nan  had  taken  the 
daughter  of  Me-shiil'lam  the  son 
of  Ber-e-chl'ah. 

19  Also  they  reported  his  good 
deeds  before  me,  and  'uttered 
my  words  to  him.  And  '^To-bl'ah 
sent  '"letters  to  put  me  in  fear. 

CHAPTER  7 

Nehemlah  commits  the  charge  of  Jerusalem 
to  Haitanl  anil  Ilananiah.  5  A  register 
of  those  who  first  came  from  Babylon,  8 
of  the  people,  S'.)  of  the  priests,  4.'  of  the 
Levltes,  46  of  the  Ncthinim,  57  of  Solo- 
mon's servants,  63  and  of  the  priests  who 
could  not  find  their  pedigree.  66  The 
whole  number  of  them.  70  Their  obla- 
tions. 

IVTOW  it  came  to  pass,  when 
l^  the  "wall  was  built,  and  "I 
had  set  up  the  doors,  and  the 
'^porters  and  the  '^singers  and  the 
^Le'vites  were  appointed, 


2  That  *I  'gave  my  brother 
"Ha-na'ni,  and  Han-a-ni'ah  the 
ruler  of  the  ''palace,  ^charge  over 
^  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  heifa*  a  *faith- 
ful  man,  and  'feared  God  above 
many. 

3  And  I  said  unto  them,  Let  not 
the  '"gates  of  ^Je-ru'sa-lem  be 
opened  until  the  sun  be  hot;  and 
while  they  stand  ^by,  let  them 
shut  the  doors,  and  bar  them: 
and  appoint  "watches  of  the  in- 
habitants of  Je-ru'scV-lem,  every 
one  in  his  watch,  and  every  one 
to  be  over  against  his  house. 

4  ^  Now  the  'city  was  large  and 
great:  but  the  people  were  few 
therein,  and  the  houses  were  not 
builded. 

5  And  my  God  put  into  mine 
heart  to  gather  together  the  no- 
bles, and  the  rulers,  and  the  peo- 
ple, that  they  might  be  reckoned 
by  "genealogy.  And  I  found  ^a 
register  of  the  genealogy  of  them 
which  came  up  at  the  first,  and 
found  written  therein, 

6  These  are  the  children  of  the 
province,  that  went  up  out  of  the 
''captivity,  of  those  that  had  been 
carried  away,  whom  *Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  the  king  of  ''Bab'y- 
lon  had  cairied  away,  and  came 
again  to '  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  to  Ju'- 
dah,  every  one  unto  his  city;

this;

'singers,  and  some  of  the  people, 
and  the  '"Neth'i-nims,  and  all

and  when  the  seventh  "month 
came,  the  children  of  Is'ia-el

The  public  reading  and  expnundlno  of  the 
law.  0  T:ie  people  eomforted.  13  Their 
forwardness  to  hear  and  be  instructed. 
1 6  They  keep  the  feast  of  tabernacles. 

AND  all  the  people  gathered 
themselves  together  as  one 
man  into  the  ^street  that  tvas  be- 
fore the  "water  *gate;  and  they 
spake  unto  '^Ez'ra  the  ''scribe 
to  bring  the  book  of  the  ^"'law 
of  Mo'ses,  ^^hich  the  Lord 
had  commanded  to  I./ra-el. 

2  And  ^Ez'ra  the  "priest 
''brought  the  *''law  before  the 
congregation  both  of  men  and 
women,  and  all  that  could  hear 
with  understanding,  upon  the 
'first  day  of  the  seventh  ^month. 

3  And  "•''he  ''read  therein  be- 
fore the  street  that  was  before 
the  "water  "gate  from  the  morn- 
ing until  midday,  before  the  men 
and  the  women,  and  those  that 
could  understand;  and  the  ears 
of  all  the  people  were  attentive 
unto  the  book  of  the  '^•''law. 

4  And  ''Ez'ra  the  ''scribe  stood 
upon  a  '^pulpit  of  wood,  which 
they  had  made  for  the  purpose; 
and  beside  him  stood  Mat-tt- 
thl'ah,  and  She'ma,  and  An-a- 
i'ah,  and  U-ri'jah,  and  Hil-kl'ah, 
and  Ma-a-se'iah,  on  his  right 
hand;  and  on  his  left  hand,  Pe-

bS.d'a-na,  Zech-a-ri'ah,  aiid  Me-

5  And  "•'^Ez'ra  opened  the  book 
in  the  sight  of  all  the  people;  (for 
he  was  above  all  the  people;)  and

when  he  opened  it,  all  the  peo})le 

stood  up: 

6    And    ''-''Ez'ra    blessed    the

the  "Le'vltes,  "caused  the  people 
to  understand  the  "•-'law:  and 
the  people  stood  in  their  place. 

8  So  they  read  in  the  book  in 
the  '^"^law  of  God  distinctly,  and 
gave  the  sense,  and  ''caused  them 
to  understand  the  reading. 

9  T[  And  "Ne-he-ml'ah,  which 
is  the  Tir'sha-tha,  and  '^Ez'ra 
the  "priest  the  "scribe,  and  the 
"Le'vltes  that  "taught  the  peo- 
ple, said  unto  all  the  people, 
''This  day  is  holy  unto  the  Lord 
your  God;  mourn  not,  nor  weep. 
For  all  "the  people  wept,  when 
they  heard  the  ^words  of  the  law. 

10  Then  he  said  unto  them.  Go 
your  way,  eat  the  fat,  and  drink 
the  sweet,  and  ''send  ^portions 
unto  'them  for  whom  nothing  is 
prepared:  for  ^this  day  is  holy 
unto  our  Lord:  neither  be  ye 
sorry;  for  the  "joy  of  the  Lord 
is  your  ^'strength. 

11  So  the  "Le'vites  stilled  all 
the  people,  saying.  Hold  your 
peace,  for  the  day  is-  holy;  neith- 
er be  ye  grieved. 

12  ^And  all  the  people  went 
their  way  to  eat,  and  to  drink, 
and  '"to  send  ^portions,  and  to 
make  great  mirth,  because  (licy 
had  understood  the  "■''words  that 
were  declared  unto  them,

were  gathered  together  the  chief

the  priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  un- 
to ^Ez'ra  the  ''scribe,  even  to 
understand  the  ''words  of  the 
law. 

14  And  they  found  written  in 
the  'hiw  which  the  Loud  had 
^commanded  by  ^Mo'.se.s,  that 
the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  should 
dwell  in  ^booths  in  the  "feast  of 
the  seventh  ''month: 

15  And  that  they  should  pub- 
lish and  proclaim  in  all  their 
cities,  and  in  '^Je-ru'sa-lem,  say- 
ing;, Go  forth  unto  the  mount, 
and  fetch  ''olive  branches,  and 
^pine  branches,  and  ''myrtle 
branches,  and  'palm  branches, 
and  branches  of  thick  trees,  to 
make  ''booths,  as  if  is  written. 

16  So  the  people  went  forth, 
and  brought  them,  pnd  made 
themselves  ''booth.s,  every  one 
upon  the  roof  of  his  ''house, 
and  in  their  courts,  and  in  the 
courts  of  the  'house  of  God, 
and  in  the  ^street  of  the  ^water 
gate,  and  in  the  street  of  the 
*gate  of  E'phra-lm. 

17  And  all  the  congregation  of 
them  that  were  come  again  out 
of  the  'captivity  made  "booths, 
and  ^sat  under  the  booths:  for 
since  the  days  of  "'Jesh'u-a  the 
son  of  Niin  unto  that  day  had 
not  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  done 
so.  And  there  was  very  great 
"gladness. 

IS  Also  day  by  day,  from  the 
first  day  unto  the  last  day,  he 
"read  in  the  book  of  the  ^•''law 
of  God.  And  they  kept  the 
'feast  seven  days;  and  on  the 
eighth  day  was  a  solemn  assem- 
bly, according  unto  the  man- 
ner. 

CHAPTER  9 

The  solemn  fast  and  confession  of  the  peo- 
ple. 4  The  prayer  and  confession  of  the 
LevUes.      38   They  make  a  covenant. 

IVTOW  in  the  twenty  and 
-Ll  fourth  day  of  this  ''month 
the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  were  as- 


sembled "with  "fasting,  and  with 
"sackclothes,  and  'earth  upon 
them. 

2  And  the  seed  of  ls'ra-el  sep- 
arated themselves  from  all  stran- 
gers, and  stood  and  'confessed 
their  "sins,  and  the  iniquities  of 
their  fathers. 

3  And  they  stood  up  in  their 
place,  and  read  in  the  book  of 
the  ''law  of  the  Lord  their  God 
one  fourth  part  of  the  day;  and 
another  fourth  part  they  '"con- 
fessed, and  ^worshipped  the 
Lord  their  God. 

4  Then  stood  up  upon  the 
stairs,  of  the  T^-'vites,  Jesh'u-a, 
and  Ba'ni,  Kad'mi-el,  Sheb-a- 
nl'ah,  Bun'ni,  Sher-e-bi'ah,  Ba'- 
ni, and  Chen'a-nl,  and  cried  with 
a  loud  voice  unto  the  Lord 
their  God. 

5  Then  the  ^Le'vltes,  Jesh'u-a, 
and  Kad'ml-el,  Ba'nl,  Hash-ab- 
nl'ah,  Sher-e-bl'ah,  Ho-di'jah, 
Sheb-a-nl'ah,  and  Peth-a-hl'ah, 
said.  Stand  up  and  '^bless  the 
Lord  your  God  for  ever  and 
ever:  and  blessed  be  thy  glorious 
name,  which  is  e.xalted  above  all 
blessing  and  'praise. 

6  'Thou,  even  thou,  art  "'Lord 
alone;  thou  hast  "made  "heaven, 
the  heaven  of  heavens,  with  all 
their  '^host,  the  'earth,  and  all

and  all  that  is  therein,  and  thou 
'■preservest  them  all;  and  the

thee.

gavest  him  the  name  of  A'bra-

seed,  and  'hast  performed  thy 
\Yords;  for  thou  art  rigliteous: 

9  And  didst  see  the  ^affliction  of 
our  '^fathers  in  'E'gypt,  and 
'"heardest  thei**  cry  by  the  "Red 
sea ; 

10  And  shewedst  "signs  and 
wonders  upon  'Tha'raoh,  and 
on  all  his  servants,  and  on  all 
the  ''peojjle  of  his  land:  for  thou 
'^knewest  that  they  dealt  proudly 
against  them.  So  didst  thou  get 
thee  a  name,  as  it  is  this  day. 

11  And  *thou  didst  "divide  the 
"sea  before  ^thein,  so  that  they 
went  through  the  midst  of  the 
sea  on  the  dry  land;  and  their 
^persecutors  thou  threwest  into 
the  deeps,  as  a  stone  into  the 
mighty  waters. 

12  Moreover  thou  'leddest 
*^them  in  the  day  by  a  cloudy 
"pillar;  and  in  the  night  by  a 
pillar  of  fire,  to  give  them  light 
in  the  way  wherein  they  should 
go. 

13  ^Thou  camest  down  also  up- 
on mount  "Si'nai,  and  spakest 
with  them  from  heaven,  and 
gavest  them  right  judgments, 
and  true  *laws,  good  statutes 
and  commandments: 

14  And  madest  known  unto 
'them  thy  holy  ^sabbath,  and 
commandedst  them  ^precepts, 
statutes,  and  laws,  by  the  hand 
of  Md'.se.s  thy  servant: 

15  And  gavest  'them  ^' "bread 
from  heaven  for  their  ^hunger, 
and  broughtest  forth  "■''water 
for  them  out  of  the  ^rock  for 
their  thirst,  and  ^promisedst 
them  that  they  should  go  in  to 
possess  the  land  which  thou 
hadst  sworn  to  give  them. 


16  But  ''they  and  our  fathers 
dealt  proudly,  and  '^■'hardened 
their  necks,  and  ^hearkened  not 
to  thy  commandments, 

17  And  "refused  to  obey,  nei- 
ther were  mindful  of  thy  ''won- 
ders that  thou  didst  among 
tliem;  but  '"'hardened  their 
necks,  and  in  their  rebellion  ap- 
pointed a  captain  to  return  to 
their  bondage:  but  thou  art  a 
God  ready  to  ])ardon,  'gracious 
and  ^■'merciful,  slow  to  anger, 
and  ^of  great  kindness,  and  for- 
sookest  them  not. 

18  Yea,  when  ''they  had  ''made 
them  a  molten  'calf,  and  said, 
This  is  thy  god  that  brought 
thee  up  out  of  '"E'gypt,  and  had 
wrought  great  provocations; 

19  Yet  thou  in  thy  manifold 
^mercies  "forsookest  ''them  not 
in  the  wilderness:  the  pillar  of 
the  cloud  departed  not  from 
them  by  day,  to  ""''lead  them  in 
the  way;  neither  the  pillar  of  fire 
by  night,  to  shew  them  light, 
and  the  way  wherein  they  should 
go. 

20  Thou  gavest  also  thy  good 
^spirit  to  '^instruct  ''them,  and 
withheldest  not  thy  "-^manna 
from  their  mouth,  and  gavest 
them  "•''water  for  their  thirst. 

21  Yea,  'forty  years  didst  thou 
"sustain  "them  in  the  wilderness, 
so  that  they  lacked  nothing; 
their  "clothes  wa.xed  not  old,  arid 
their  feet  swelled  not. 

22  Moreover  thou  gavest  them 
kingdoms  and  ^nations,  and  didst 
divide  them  into  ct)rners:  so  they 
pos.ses,sed  the  land  of  ^Si'hon, 
and  the  land  of  the  king  of 
"Hesh'bon,  and  the  land  of  ^Og 
king  of  ''Ba'shan.

pliedst  thou  as  the  stars  of  heav- 
en, and  '^broughtest  them  into 
the  "land,  concerning  which 
thou  hadst  '^promised  to  their 
fathers,  that  they  should  go  in  to 
possess  it. 

24  So  the  children  went  in  and 
possessed  the  *land,  and  thou 
"subduedst  before  them  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land,  the  ''Cil'- 
na,an-Ites,  and  gavest  them  into 
their  hands,  with  their  kings, 
and  the  people  of  the  land,  that 
they  might  do  with  them  as  they 
would. 

25  And  they  took  ^strong  cities, 
and  a  fat  land,  and  possessed 
houses  full  of  all  goods,  wells 
digged,  vineyards,  and  olive- 
yards,  and  fruit  trees  in  abun- 
dance: so  they  did  eat,  and  were 
filled,  and  became  fat,  and  de- 
lighted themselves  in  thy  great 
^goodness. 

26  Nevertheless  they  were  ''dis- 
obedient, and  ''rebelled  against 
thee,  and  ''cast  thy  law  behind 
their  backs,  and  ''slew  thy  proph- 
ets which  testified  against  them 
to  turn  them  to  thee,  and  they 
wrought  great  provocations. 

27  Therefore  thou  'deliveredst 
them  into  the  hand  of  their  ene- 
mies, who  vexed  them:  and  in 
the  time  of  their  trouble,  when 
they  ^cried  unto  thee,  thou 
^'heardest  them  from  'heaven; 
and  according  to  thy  manifold 
'"mercies  thou  gavest  them  sav- 
iours, who  saved  them  out  of  the 
hand  of  their  enemies. 

28  But  after  they  had  rest, 
they  did  evil  again  before  thee: 
therefore  leftest  thou  them  in 
the  hand  of  their  enemies,  so 
that  they  had  the  dominion 
over  them:  yet  when  they  "re- 
turned, and  cried  unto  thee,  thou 
'"'heardest  them  from  'heaven; 
and  "many  times  didst  thou  de- 
liver them  according  to  thy  mer- 
cies; 


29  And  testifiedst  against  them, 
that  thou  mightest  bring  them 
again  unto  thy  law:  yet  they 
dealt  proudly,  and  hearkened 
not  unto  thy  commandments, 
but  sinned  against  thy  judg- 
ments, (which  if  a  man  do,  he 
shall  live  in  them;)  and  with- 
drew the  shoulder,  and  ^hard- 
ened their  neck,  and  would  not 
hear. 

30  "Yet  many  years  didst  thou 
forbear  them,  and  testifiedst 
against  them  by  *  thy  spirit  in  thy 
prophets:  yet  would  they  not 
give  ear:  therefore  *gavest  thou 
them  into  the  hand  of  the  people 
of  the  lands. 

31  Nevertheless  for  thy  great 
'"mercies'  sake  thou  didst  not  ut- 
terly consume  them,  nor  forsake 
them ;  for  thou  art  a  gracious  and 
merciful  God. 

32  Now  therefore,  our  God,  the 
great,  the  mighty,  and  the  terri- 
ble '^God,  who  '^keepest  covenant 
and  '"mercy,  let  not  all  the 
^•'trouble  seem  little  before  thee, 
that  hath  come  upon  us,  on  our 
kings,  on  our  princes,  and  on  our 
priests,  and  on  our  prophets,  and 
on  our  fathers,  and  on  all  thy 
people,  since  the  time  of  the 
kings  of  *As-syr'i-a  unto  this 
day. 

33  'Howbeit  ''thou  art  just  in 
^all  that  is  brought  upon  us;  for 
thou  hast  done  right,  but  "'*'we 
have  done  wickedly: 

34  ^•''Neither  have  our  "'kings, 
our  princes,  our  priests,  nor  our 
fathers,  kept  thy  law,  nor  heark- 
ened unto  thy  commandments 
and  thy  testimonies,  wherewith 
thou  didst  testify  against  them. 

35  For  '"they  ''have  not  served 
thee  in  their  kingdom,  and  in  thy 
great  ^goodness  that  thou  gavest 
them,  and  in  the  large  and  fat 
land  which  thou  gavest  before 
them,  neither  turned  they  from 
their  wicked  works.

22  t  The  "Le'vites  in  the  days 
of  '^E-lfa-shib,  ^Joi'a-da,  and 
J6-ha'nan,  and  Jad-du'a,  were 
recorded  chief  of  the  fathers:  al- 
so the  priests,  to  the  reign  of 
M)a-ri'us  the  Ter'siun. 

23  The  ^sons  of  Le'vl,  the  chief 
of  the  fathers,  tcere  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles,  even  un- 
til the  days  of  Jo-ha'nan  the  son 
of  Jl-ll'a-shib. 

24  And  the  chief  of  the  ^Le'- 
vl tes:  Hash-a-bi'ah,  Sher-e-bl'- 
ah,  and  Jesh'u-a  the  son  of 
Kad'mi-el,  with  their  brethren 
over  against  them,  to  'praise  and 
to  give  ^thanks,  according  to  the 
commandment  of  ^Da'vid  the 
man  of  God,  ward  over  against 
ward. 

25  Mtit-ta-nl'ah,  and  Bak-buk- 
i'ah,  O-ba-dl'ah,  Me-shfil'lam, 
Tal'mon,  Ak'kiib,  were  '"porters 
keeping  the  ward  at  the  Hhresh- 
olds  of  the  "gates. 

26  These  were  in  the  days  of 
Joi'a-kim  the  son  of  "Jesh'u-a, 
the  son  of  *j6z'a-diik,  and  in  the 


days  of  ^Ne-he-ml'ah  the  ^gov- 
ernor, and  of  '^Ez'ra  the  priest, 
the  *scribe. 

27  ^  And  at  the  'dedication  of 
the  "wall  of  Je-ni'sa-lem  they 
sought  the  ^'Le'vites  out  of  all 
their  places,  to  bring  them  to  Je- 
r\i'sa-lem,  to  keep  the  dedica- 
tion witli  gladness,  both  with 
'thanksgivings,  and  with  ""sing- 
ing, with  ^cymbals,  ^psalteries, 
and  with  %ar})s. 

28  And  the  sons  of  the  "singers 
gathered  themselves  together, 
both  out  of  the  plain  country 
round  about  ^Je-rii'sfi-lem,  and 
from  the  villages  of  Ne-toph'- 
a-thi ; 

29  Also  from  -the  house  of 
'^Gil'gal,  and  out  of  the  fields  of 
''Ge'ba  and  Az'ma-veth:  for  the 
"singers  had  builded  them  vil- 
lages round  about  ''Je-ru'sa-lem. 

30  And  the  ^'priests  and  the 
^Le'vites  ^purified  themselves, 
and  purified  the  people,  and  the 
''gates,  and  the  'wall. 

31  Then  I  brought  up  the  prin- 
ces of  Ju'dah  upon  the  'wall,  and 
aj^pointed  two  great  companies 
^of  them  that  gave  thanks,  where- 
of one  went  on  the  right  hand 
upon  the  wall  toward  the  ''dung 
gate: 

32  And  after  them  went  Ilosh- 
a-i'ah,  and  half  of  the  princes  of

Gil'a-liii,  Ma-a'I,  Ne-than'e-el, 
and  Ju'dah,  Hfi-na'nl,  with  the 
musical  'instruments  of  '"Da'vid 
the  man  of  God,  and  "Ez'ra  the 
scribe  before  them. 

37  And  at  the  ''fountain  gate, 
which  was  over  against  them, 
they  went  up  by  the  "stairs  of  the 
city  of  Da'vid,  at  the  going  up  of 
the  Svall,  above  the  ^house  of 
Da'vid,  even  unto  the  ''water 
gate  eastward. 

38  And  the  other  company  oj 
them  that  gave  "thanks  went  over 
against  them,  and  ''I  after  them, 
and  the  half  of  the  people  upon 
the  Svall,  from  beyond  the 
"•'tower  of  the  furnaces  even 
unto  the  broad  wall; 

39  And  from  above  the  ''gate  of 
E'phra-im,  and  above  the  ''old 
gate,  and  above  the  ''fish  gate, 
and  the  "tower  of  'Hu-ntln'e-el, 
and  the  "tower  of  ''•'Me'ah,  even 
unto  the  ''sheep  gate:  and  they 
stood  still  in  the  ^•''prison  gate. 

40  So  stood  the  two  companies 
of  them  that  gave  ''thanks  in  the 
house  of  God,  and  '^I,  and  the 
half  of  the  rulers  with  me: 

41  And  the  'priests;  fi-h'a- 
kim,  Ma-a-se'iah,  Min'i-a-min, 
Mi-cha'iah,  E-li-o-e'na-I,  Zech- 
a-ri'ah,  and  Han-a-ni'ah,  with 
"trumpets; 

42  And  Ma-a-se'iah,  and  Shem- 
a-l'ah,  and  E-le-a'zar,  and  tJz'zI, 
and  Je-ho-ha'nan,  and  Mal-chf- 
jah,  and  E'lam,  and  E'zer.  And 
the  ^'singers  sang  loud,  with 
"Jez-ra-hl'ah  their  overseer. 

43  Also  that  day  they  offered 
great  ^sacrifices,  and  rejoiced: 
for  God  had  made  them  rejoice 
with  great  ^joy:  the  ®wives  also 
and  the  ^children  rejoiced:  so 
that  the  joy  of  Je-rii'sji-lem  was 
heard  even  afar  off. 

44  ^  And  at  that  time  were 
some  appointed  over  the  "cham- 
bers for  the  treasures,  for  the 
"offerings,    for    the    '^firstfruits, 


and  for  the  "^titlies,  to  gather  into 
them  out  of  the  fields  of  the 
cities  the  '^•^portions  of  the  law 
for  the  priests  and  Le'vites:  for 
''Ju'dah  rejoiced  for  the  priests 
and  for  the  Le'vites  that  waited. 

45  And  both  the  ''singers  and 
the  'porters  kept  the  ward  of 
their  God,  and  the  ward  of 
the  purification,  according  to  the 
commandment  of  ^Da'vid,  and 
of  ^Sol'o-mon  his  son. 

46  For  in  the  days  of  ^Da'vid 
and  'A'saph  of  old  there  were 
chief  of  the  ''singers,  and  "'songs 
of  "praise  and  thanksgiving  unto 
God. 

47  And  all  Ls'ra-el  in  the  days 
of  "Ze-riib'ba-bel,  and  in  the 
days  of  ^Ne-he-ml'ah,  gave  the 
portions  of  the  ''singers  and  the 
'porters,  every  day  his  portion: 
and  they  sanctified  ^'Hioly  things 
unto  the  Le'vites;  and  the  Le'- 
vites sanctified  them  unto  the 
children  of  Aar'on. 

CHAPTER  13 

The  mixed  multitude  Is  separated  from  Is- 
rael. 4  Nehemiah  causes  the  chambers 
of  the  temple  to  be  cleansed.  10  He  cor- 
rects the  abuses  in  the  house  of  God.  15 
He  restrains  the  violation  of  the  sabbath, 
23  and  intermarriages  with  tlie  heatlien. 

ON  that  day  they  "read  in  the 
"book  of  Mo'.ses  in  the 
audience  of  the  people;  and 
therein  was  found  written,  that 
the  '^Am'mon-Ite  and  the  ''INIo'- 
ab-Ite  should  not  come  into  the 
congregation  of  God  for  ever; 

2  Because  they  met  not  the 
children  of  ^Is'ra-el  with  bread 
and  with  water,  but  hired  'Ba'- 
laam  against  them,  that  he 
should  curse  them:  howbeit  our 
God  "turned  the  curse  into  a 
blessing. 

3  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  heard  the  "law,  that 
''they  separated  from  '^Is'ra-el  all 
the  mixed  multitude. 

4  t  And  before  this,  ^E-ll'a-

'"house  of  our  God,  icas  allied 
unto  "T6-bl'ali: 

5  And  he  had  prepared  for  him 
a  "great  chamber,  where  afore- 
time they  laid  the  '•''meat  offer- 
ing,s,  the  "frankincense,  and  the 
vessels,  and  the  ''  'tithes  of  the 
corn,  the  new  wine,  and  the  oil, 
which  was  commanded  to  be  giv- 
en to  the  Ivc'vites,  and  the  'sing- 
ers, and  the  "porters;  and  the 
-• '^'offerings  of  the  priests. 

6  But  in  all  this  time  was  not 
"I  at  ^Je-ru'sa-lem:  for  in  the 
two  and  thirtieth  year  of  ^Ar- 
tax-er.\'e.s  king  of  ^Bab'y-lon 
came  I  unto  the  king,  and  after 
certain  days  obtained  I  leave  of 
the  king: 

7  And  "-"I  came  to  Me-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  understood  of  the  '^evil 
that  '^E-h'a-shib  did  for  /T6-bI'- 
ah,  in  preparing  him  a  ^chamber 
in  the  courts  of  the  ''house  of 
God. 

S  And  'it  grieved  me  sore: 
therefore  I  cast  forth  all  the 
household  stuff  of  ^To-bf  ah  out 
of  the  chamber. 

9  'Ilicn  I  commanded,  and  they 
^cleansed  the  ^chambers:  and 
thither  brought  I  again  the  ves- 
sels of  the  '''house  of  God,  with 
the  ^'^'meat  offering  and  the 
'frankincense. 

10  Tf  And  I  perceiv(Ml  that  the 
'"portions  of  the  Le'vltes  had  not 
been  given  fJiem:  for  the  Tvc'vTtes 
and  the  "singers,  that  did  tli(> 
work,  were  fled  every  one  to  his 
field. 

11  Then  "contended  I  with  the 
rulers,  and  said.  Why  is  the 
''house  of  God  forsaken  ?  And  I 
gathered  them  together,  and  set 
them  in   their  place. 

12  Then  ''brought  all  ^/Ju'dah 
the  ''tithe  of  the  corn  and  the  new 
wine  and  the  oil  imto  the  *treas- 
uries. 

13  And  I  made  treasurers  over 
the  ^treasuries,  Shel-e-ml'ah  the 


'priest,  and  Za'dok  the  "scribe, 
and  of  the  'Le'vites,  Pe-da'iah: 
and  next  to  them  vri.t  Ha'nan 
the  son  of  Zac'cnr,  the  son  of 
Mat-ta-nl'ah:  for  they  were 
counted  "'•  ^faidiful,  and  their 
oflice  was  to  distribute  unto 
their  brethren. 

14  Remember  me,  O  my  God, 
concerning  this,  and  wij)e  not 
out  my  ^'^good  deeds  that  I  have 
done  for  the  house  of  my  God, 
and  for  the  offices  thereo^. 

15  T[  In  those  days  saw  "I  in 
Ju'dah  ''some  "treading  "wine 
presses  on  the  ''sabbath,  and 
''bringing  in  sheaves,  and  lading 
asses;  as  also  ^wine,  "grapes,  and 
'figs,  and  all  manner  of  burdens, 
which  'they  brought  into  "Je- 
rii'sa-lem  on  the  sabbath  day: 
and  I  testified  against  them,  in 
the  day  wherein  they  sold  vic- 
tuals. 

16  There  dwelt  men  of  'Tyre 
also  therein,  which  brought 
'"fish,  and  all  manner  of  ware, 
and  sold  on  the  ''sabbath  unto 
tJK'  ''children  of  Ju'dah,  and  in 
^  Je-rii'sa-lem. 

17  Then  I  "•"contended  with  the 
nobles  of  Jii'dah,  and  said  unto 
them.  What  evil  thing  is  this 
that  ye  do,  and  '"profane  the  sab- 
bath day  ? 

18  Did  not  your  fathers  thus, 
and  did  not  our  (iod  bring  all 
ihis  "evil  upon  us,  and  upon  this 
city  ?  yet  ye  bring  more  wrath 
upon  I.s'ra-el  by  '^profaning  the 
.sabbath. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  the  ''gates  of  ^Je-rii'sa- 
lem  began  to  be  dark  before 
the  .sabbath,  I  commanded  that 
the  Agates  .should  be  shut,  and 
cJiarged  that  they  should  not  be 
o;)ened  till  after  the  saiibath: 
and  some  of  my  '''servants  set  I  at 
the  gates,  that  there  should  no 
burden  be  brought  in  on  the 
''sabbath  day.

20  So  the  ^merchants  and  sell- 
ers of  all  kind  of  ware  lodged 
without  '"Je-rii'sa-lem  once  or 
twice. 

21  Then  ''I  testified  against 
them,  and  "said  unto  them,  Why 
lodge  ye  about  the  wall  ?  if  ye  do 
so  again,  I  will  lay  hands  on  you. 
From  that  time  forth  came  they 
no  viore  on  the  sabbath. 

22  And  I  commanded  the  *Le'- 
vltes  that  they  should  ^cleanse 
themselves,  and  that  they  should 
come  and  keep  the  Agates,  to 
sanctify  the  sabbath  day.  Re- 
member me,  O  my  God,  co7i- 
cerning  this  also,  and  spare  me 
according  to  the  greatness  of  thy 
"mercy. 

23  ^  In  those  days  also  saw  I 
"Jews  that  had  "'•  -^married  wives 
of  ^Ash'dod,  of  ^Am'mon,  and 
of  «:Mo'ab: 

24  And  their  children  spake 
half  in  the  speech  of  Ash'dod, 
and  could  not  speak  in  the  Jews' 
''language,  but  according  to  the 
language  of  each  people. 

25  And  '^I  contended  with  them, 
and  cursed  them,  and  smote  cer- 
tain of  them,  and  plucked  off 
their  hair,  and  made  them 
''swear  by  God,  saying,  *Ye  shall 
not  give  your   daughters   unto 


their  sons,  nor  take  their  daugh- 
ters unto  your  sons,  or  for  your- 
selves. 

26  Did  not  '^Sol'o-mon  king  of 
^Is'ra-el  sin  by  these  things  ?  yet 
among  many  nations  was  there 
no  king  like  him,  who  was  ''be- 
loved of  his  God,  and  ^•■'God 
made  him  king  over  all  Is'ra-el: 
nevertheless  even  *him  did  ^out- 
landish '•'"women  "cause  to  sin. 

27  Shall  we  then  hearken  unto 
you  to  do  all  this  great  "evil,  to 
tran.sgress  against  our  God  in 
'^marrying  strange  wives  ? 

28  And  one  of  the  sons  of  ^  Joi'- 
a-da,  the  son  of  ^E-ll'a-shilj 
the  ''high  priest,  was  son  in  law 
to  *San-bal'lat  the  'Hor'-o-nlte: 
therefore  I  chased  him  from  me. 

29  Remember  "them,  O  my 
God,  because  they  have  defiled 
the  priesthood,  and  the  ''cove- 
nant of  the  priesthood,  and  of 
the  '^'Le^'Ites. 

30  Thus  cleansed  I  them  from 
all  strangers,  and  appointed  the 
wards  of  the  ^priests  and  the 
"'Le'vltes,  every  one  in  his 
business; 

31  And  for  the  ^wood  offering, 
at  times  appointed,  and  for  the 
firstfruits.  Remember  me.  O 
my  God,  for  good.

4  Wlieu  he  shewed  the  'riehe.s 
of  his  glorious  kino-doin  and  the 
honour  of  his  excellent  majesty 
many  days,  even  an  hundred  and 
fourscore  days. 

5  And  when  these  days  were 
expired,  the  king  made  a  ''feast 
unto  all  the  people  that  were 
present  in  ^Shu'shan  the  'palace, 
both  unto  great  and  small,  ^seven 
days,  in  the  court  of  the  garden 
of  the  king's  ^"palace; 

6  Where  were  white,  green,  and 
blue  ^•'"hangings,  fastened  with 
cords  of  fine  linen  and  purple  to 
"silver  rings  and  "pillars  of  ^mar- 
ble: the  'beds  ^vere  of  ''gold  and 
silver,  upon  a  pavement  of  red, 
and  Mjlue,  and  white,  and  black, 
marble. 

7  And  they  gave  thevi  drink  in 
vessels  of  ''gold,  (the  vessels  be- 
ing diverse  one  from  another,) 
and  royal  *wine  in  abundance, 
according  to  the  ^state  of  the 
king. 

8  And  the  drinking  luas  accord- 
ing to  the  law;  none  ^did  compel: 
for  so  the  king  had  appointed 
to  all  the  officers  of  his  house, 
that  they  should  do  according 
to  every  man's  pleasure. 

9  Also  'Vash'tl  the  ''queen 
made  a  ^feast  for  the  women  in 
the  royal  house  which  belonged 
to  king  *A-ha.s-u-e'rus. 

10  ^  On  the  seventh  day,  when 
the  heart  of  the  king  was 
'^'' "'merry  with  ^wine,  he  com- 
manded Ale-hu'man,  Biz'tha, 
"Hiir-bd'-na,  Big'tha,  and  A- 
bag'tha,  Ze'thiir,  and  Caracas, 
the  seven  ^chamberlains  that 
served  in  the  presence  of  *A- 
ha.s-u-e'rus   the    king, 

1 1  'l\)  bring  "Vash'tl  the  ''((ucen 
before  the  king  with  the  "^crown 


royal,  to  shew  the  people  and  the 
princes  her  ''beauty:  for  she  iva^ 
fair  to  look  on. 

12  But  the  "-^queen  "Vash'tl 
''refused  to  come  at  the  king's 
commandment  by  his  "chamber- 
lains: therefore  was  the  king 
very  ''wroth,  and  his  anger 
burned  in  him. 

13  T[  Then  the  *king  said  to 
the  wise  men,  which  knew  the 
times,  (for  so  was  the  king's 
manner  toward  all  that  knew 
law  and  judgment: 

14  And  the  next  unto  him  teas 
Cilr-she'na,  She'thilr,  Ad'ma- 
tha,  Tiir'shish,  I\Ie're§,  Miir'- 
se-na,  and  jMe-mu''can,  the  seven 
princes  of  ^Per'sia  and  'MeMi-a, 
v.diich  saw  the  king's  face,  and 
which  sat  the  first  in  the  king- 
dom ;) 

15  What  shall  we  do  unto  the 
queen  "Vash'tl  according  to  law, 
because  she  hath  not  performed 
the  commandment  of  the  king 
*A-ha.s-u-e'rus  by  the  "cham- 
berlains ? 

16  And  Me-mu'can  answered 
before  the  king  and  the  princes, 
"Vash'tl  the  "queen  hath  not 
done  wrong  to  the  king  only,  but 
also  to  all  the  princes,  and  to  all 
the  people  that  are  in  all  the  pro- 
vinces of  the  king*x\-ha.s-u-e'rus. 

17  For  this  deed  of  the  queen 
shall  come  abroad  unto  all 
women,  so  that  they  shall  desj)ise 
their  diusbands  in  their  eyes, 
when  it  shall  be  reported,  '4'he 
king  A-hri.s-u-e'rus  commanded 
Vasii'tl  the  queen  to  be  brought 
in  before  him,  but  she  came  not. 

18  Liketvise  shall  the  "'ladies  of

of  the  queen.  Thus  shall  there 
arise  too  much  contempt  and 
wrath. 

19  If  it  please  the  king,  let 
there  go  a  royal  ^commandment 
from  him,  and  let  it  be  written 
among  the  laws  of  the  Per'.sians 
and  the  Medes,  that  it  be  not 
altered,  'That  ''•''Vash'ti  come 
no  more  before  king  A-has-u- 
e'rus;  and  let  the  king  give  her 
royal  estate  unto  another  that  is 
better  than  she.

which  he  shall  make  shall  be

wives  '"shall  give  to  their  hus- 
bands honour,  both  to  great  and 
small. 

21  And  the  saying  pleased  the 
king  and  the  princes;  and  the 
king  did  according  to  the  word 
of  Me-mu'can: 

22  For  iie  sent  ''•"letters  into  all 
the  king's  provinces,  into  every 
province  according  to  the  writ- 
ing thereof,  and  co  every  people 
after  their  language,  that  every 
man  shoidd  bear  rule  in  his  own 
house,  and  that  it  should  be  pub- 
lished accortling  to  the  language 
of  every  j^eople. 

CHAPTER  2 

A  queen  to  be  chosen  instead  of  Vashtl.  8 
Esther  is  preferred.  15  She  is  made 
queen.  21  Mordecai's  service  to  the  king 
recorded. 

AFTER  these  things,  when  the 
'^wrath  of  king  ''A-has-u- 
e'rus  was  appeased,  he  remem- 
bered ''Vash'ti,  and  W'hat  she 
had  done,  and  what  was  '^de- 
creed against  her. 

2  Then  said  the  king's  servants 
that  ministered  unto  him,  Let 
there  be  fair  young  ^virgins 
sought  for  the  king: 


3  And  let  the  king  appoint  offi- 
cers in  all  the  ''provinces  of  his 
kingdom,  that  they  may  gather 
together  ail  the  fair  young  ''vir- 
gins unto  ^Shii'shan  the  ''palace, 
to  the  house  of  the  women,  unto 
the  custody  of  He'ge  the  king's 
'chamberlain,  keeper  of  the 
women;  and  let  their  things  for 
purification  be  given  the7n: 

4  And  let  the  maiden  which 
pleaseth  the  king  be  'queen  in- 
stead of  ''Vash'tl.  And  the  thing 
pleased  the  king;  and  he  did  so. 

5  Tf  Noiv  in  ^Shu'shan  the  ''pal- 
ace there  was  a  certain  *Jew, 
whose  name  was  *i\l6r'de-cai, 
the  son  of  Ja'ir,  the  son  of 
Shim'e-I,    the    son    of   Kish,    a 

Ben'ja-mlte; 

6  ^Vho  had  been  carried  away 
from  "'Je-rii's?i-lem  with  the 
"captivity  which  had  been  car- 
ried away  with  "  Jec-o-nl'ah  king 
of  Ju'dali,  whom  ^N?b-u-chad- 
nez'zar  the  king  of  *Bab'y-lon 
had  carried  away. 

7  And  he  "brought  up  Ha-das'- 
sah,  that  ?".s',  ^Pls'ther,  his  imcle's 
dauirhter:  for  *she  had  neither 
father  nor  mother,  and  the  maid 
was  'fair  and  beautiful;  Avhom 
*Al6r'de-cai,  when  her  father 
and  mother  were  dead,  "took  for 
his  own  daughter. 

8  ^  So  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king's  "commandment  and 
his  decree  was  heard,  and  when 
many  maidens  were  gathered  to- 
gether unto  "Shii'shan  the  ''pal- 
ace, to  the  custody  of  Heg'a-I, 
that  ^Es'ther  was  brought  also 
unto  the  king's  house,  to  the  cus- 
tody of  Heg'a-I,  keeper  of  the 
women. 

9  And  the  maiden  pleased  him, 
and   she   obtained  kindness   of

him;  and  he  speedily  gave  her 
her  tilings  for  purification,  with 
such  things  as  belonged  to  her, 
and  seven  maidens,  iviiich  were 
meet  to  be  given  her,  out  of  the 
king's  house:  and  he  preferred 
her  and  her  maids  unto  the 
best  place  of  the  "house  of  the 
women. 

10  ■''Es'ther  ^had  not  shewed 
her  ''peo])le  nor  her  kindred:  for 
*M6rMe-cai  had  charged  her 
that  she  should  not  shew  if. 

11  And  *]M6r'de-cai  walked 
every  day  before  tlie  court  of  the 
"women's  house,  to  know  how 
^Es'ther  did,  and  what  should 
become  of  her. 

12  ^  Now  when  every  maid's 
turn  was  come  to  go  in  to  king 
A-has-u-e'rus,  after  that  she  had 
been  twelve  months,  according 
to  the  manner  of  the  women,  (for 
so  were  the  days  of  their  purifi- 
cations accomplished,  to  wit,  six 
months  with  ^''^'oil  of  "myrrh, 
and  six  months  with  sweet 
odours,  and  with  other  things  for 
the  purifying  of  the  women;) 

13  Then  thus  came  every  maid- 
en unto  the  "king;  whatsoever 
sne  desired  was  given  her  to  go 
with  her  out  of  the  '"house  of  the 
women  unto  the  king's  house. 

14  In  the  evening  she  went,  and 
on  the  morrow  she  returned  into 
the  second  4iouse  of  the  women, 
to  the  custody  of  Sha-ash'gaz, 
the  king's  ''chamberlain,  which 
kept  the ''concubines:  she  came 
in  unto  the  ''king  no  more,  except 
the  king  delighted  in  her,  and 
that  she  were  called  by  name. 

15  ^  Now  when  the  turn  of 
^Es'ther,  the  daughter  of  ^Ab-i- 
lia'il  the  uncle  of  *M6r'de-cai, 
who  had  "taken  her  for  his 
daughter,  was  come  to  go  in  un- 
to the  ''king,  she  rec|uired  noth- 
ing but  what  Heg'a-i  the  king's 
'^chamberlain,  the  keeper  of  the 
women,  appointed.     And  Es'- 


ther  obtained  favour  in  the  sight 
of  all  them  that  looked  upon 
her. 

16  So  ■''Es'ther  was  taken  un- 
to king  ''A-ha.s-u-e'rus  into  his 
house  royal  in  the  tenth  ''month, 
which  is  the  month  'Te'beth,  in 
the  seventh  year  of  his  reign^ 

17  And  the  "king  loved  ^Es'- 
ther  above  all  the  women,  and 
she  obtained  grace  and  favour  in 
his  sight  more  than  all  the  'vir- 
gins; so  that  he  set  the  royal 
^crown  upon  her  head,  and 
'made  her  "'queen  instead  of 
"Vash'ti. 

18  Then  the  king  made  a  great 
"feast  unto  all  his  princes  and 
his  servants,  even  "^Es'ther's 
feast;  and  he  made  a  release 
to  the  provinces,  and  gave  gifts, 
according  to  the  'state  of  the 
king. 

19  And  when  the  'virgins  were 
gathered  together  the  second 
time,  then  *M6r'de-cai  sat  in 
the   king's   gate. 

20  ■''Es'ther ''had  not  ijet  shewed 
her  kindred  nor  lier  "people;  as 
*M6rMe-cai  had  charged  her: 
for  Es'ther  did  the  command- 
ment of  ]M6r'de-crii,  like  as  when 
she  was  brought  up  with  him. 

21  Tf  In  those  days,  while 
*M6r'de-cai  sat  in  the  king's 
gate,  two  of  the  king's  ''chaml)er- 
lains,  "•TJig'than  and  ^''Te'resh, 
of  "those  which  kept  the  door, 
were  wroth,  and  ''sought  to  lay 
hand  on  the  king  "A-ha.s-Q-e'- 
riis. 

22  And  tlie  thing  was  known  to 
♦^Nlor'de-cai,  "who  ■'^told  it  unto 
■^Es'ther  the  "'queen;  and  Es'- 
ther  certified  the  king  thereof  in 
MorMe-cai's  name. 

23  And  when  incjuisltion  was 
made  of  the  matter,  "it  was 
found  out;  therefore  they  were 
both  "hanged  on  a  ^tree:  and  it 
was  written  in  tiie  "book  of  the 
chronicles  before  the  king.

CHAPTER  3 


Haman's  promotion.  2  Mordecai  refuses 
to  do  him  reverence.  5  Human  seeks  re- 
venge. 8  He  obtains  a  decree  of  the  king 
to  destroy  the  Jews. 

AFTER  the.se  things  did  king 
"A-has-u-e'riis  promote 
*Ha'man  the  son  of  *Ham-med'- 
a-tha  the  A'gag-Ite,  and  ad- 
vanced him,  and  set  his  seat 
above  all  the  "^princes  that  toere 
with  him. 

2  And  all  the  king's  servants, 
that  were  in  the  king's  gate, 
''bowed,  and  reverenced  *Ha'- 
man:  for  the  king  had  so  com- 
manded concerning  him.  But 
^Mor'de-cai  bowed  not,  nor  did 
him  reverence. 

3  Then  the  king's  servants, 
which  were  in  the  king's  gate, 
said  unto  *M6rMe-cai,  Why 
transgresses t  thou  the  king's 
commandment  ? 

4  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  spake  daily  unto  him,  and 
he  hearkened  not  unto  them, 
that  they  told  *Ha'man,  to  see 
whether  '^Mor'de-cai's  matters 
would  stand:  for  he  had  told 
them  that  he  was  a  ''Jew. 

5  And  when  *Ha'man  saw  that 
"Mor'de-cai  bowed  not,  nor  did 
him  '^reverence,  then  was  Ha'- 
man  full  of  "'''wrath. 

6  And  he  ''"'thought  scorn  to 
lay  hands  on  '^Mor'de-cai  alone; 
for  they  had  shewed  him  tlie 
people  of  Mor'de-cai :  wherefore 
*Ha'man  sought  to  destroy  all 
the  ''Jews  that  ivere  throughout 
the  whole  kingdom  of  "xi-has-u- 
e'riis,  even  the  people  of  Mor'- 
de-cai. 

7  T[  In  the  ^'first  ^month,  that 
is,  the  month  Nl'san,  in  the 
twelfth  year  of  king  °A-ha.s-ii-

that  is,  the  month  A'dar. 

8  T[  x\nd  *Ha'man  said  unto 
king  '^A-ha.s-u-e'rus,  There  is  a 
'certain  people  scattered  abroad 
and  dispersed  among  the  people 
in  all  the  provinces  of  thy  king- 
dom; and  their  laws  are  diverse 
from  all  people;  ^neither  keep 
they  the  king's  laws:  therefore  it 
is  not  for  the  king's  profit  to 
suffer  them. 

9  If  it  please  the  "king,  let  it 
be  written  that  they  may  be 
destroyed:  and  "'I  "will  pay  ten 
thousand  "talents  of  ^silver  to  the 
hands  of  those  that  have  the 
charge  of  the  business,  to  bring 
it  into  the  king's  ^treasuries. 

10  And  the  "king  took  his  ''ring 
from  his  hand,  and  gave  it  unto 
*Ha'man  the  son  of  ''Ham-med'- 
a-tha  the  A'gag-ite,  the  ''Jews' 
enemy. 

11  And  the  *king  said  unto 
*Ha'man,  The  ''silver  is  giA^en  to 
thee,  the  people  also,  to  'do  with 
them  as  it  seemeth  good  to  thee. 

12  Then  were  the  king's 
"scribes  called  on  the  thirteenth 
day  of  the  first  ''^month,  and 
there  was  written  according  to 
all  that  *Ha'man  had  command- 
ed unto  the  king's  lieutenants, 
and  to  the  governors  that  were 
over  every  province,  and  to  the 
rulers  of  every  people  of  every

ing thereof,  and  to  every  people 
after  their  language;  in  the  name 
of  king  "A-ha.s-u-e'rus  was  "it 
written,  and  sealed  with  the 
king's  ''ring. 

13  And  the  "•"'letters  were  sent

upon  the  thirteenth  day  of  the 
twelfth  ''month,  which  is  the 
month  A'dilr,  and  to  take  the 
spoil  of  them  for  a  prey. 

14  The  copy  of  the  "writing  lor 
a  commandment  to  be  given  in 
every  province  was  published 
unto  all  people,  that  they  should 
be  ready  against  that  day. 

15  The  ^posts  went  out,  being 
hastened  by  the  king's  com- 
mandment, and  the  "decree  was 
given  in  ^Shu'shan  the  ^jnxlace. 
And  the  king  and  Ha'man  sat 
down  to  drink;  but  the  city  Shii'- 
shan  was  perplexed.

The  lamrntntion  of  Mordecai  and  the  Jews. 
4  Est  Iter  Inquires  the  cause  thereof.  7 
Mordecai  makes  it  known  to  her,  and 
urges  her  to  Intercede  with  the  king  for  her 
people.  15  She  consents,  arid  appoints  a 
fast. 

HEN  '^Mor'de-cai  per- 
ceived all  that  was  done, 
Alor'de-cai  ''rent  his  clothes, 
and  put  on  '^sackcloth  with 
''ashes,  and  went  out  into  the 
midst  of  the  city,  and  ''cried 
with  a  loud  and  a  bitter  cry; 

2  And  came  even  before  the 
king's  gate:  for  none  mirjht  enter 
into  the  king's  gate  clothed  with 
'^sackcloth.

in  '^sackclotli  and  ''ashes. 

4  ^  So  'Es'ther's  maids  and  her 
'cjiamberlains  came  and  told  it

5  Then  called  'Es'ther  for  Ila'- 
tach,  one  of  the  king's  'chamber- 
lains, whom  he  had  a])pointed  to 
attend  uj)on  her,  and  gave  him  a 
commandment  to  "Mor'de-cai, 
to  know  what  it  was,  and  why 
it  was. 

6  So  Ha'tach  went  forth  to 
''IMorMe-cai  unto  the  ^street  of 
the  city,  which  was  before  the 
king's  gate. 

7  And  "JNIorMe-cai  told  him  of 
all  that  had  happened  unto  him, 
and  of  the  sum  of  the  'money 
that  '"Ha'man  had  promised  to 
"pay  to  the  king's  "treasuries  for 
the  ''Jew.s,  to  destroy  them. 

S  Also  he  gave  him  the  copy  of 
the  writing  of  the  decree  that 
was  given  at  ^Shii'shan  to  de- 
stroy them,  to  .shew  it  unto  *Es'- 
ther,  and  to  declare  it  unto  her, 
and  to  charge  her  that  she  should 
go  in  unto  the  king,  to  make 
''supplication  imto  him,  and  to 
make  refjuest  before  him  for  her 
^people. 

9  And  Ha'tach  came  and  told

to  come  in  unto  the  king  these 
thirty  days. 

12  And  they  told  to  '^Mor'de- 
cai  'Es'ther's  words. 

13  Tlien  "Mor'de-cai  com- 
manded to  answer  ^Es'ther, 
Think  not  with  thyself  that  thou 
shalt  escape  in  the  king's  house, 
more  than  all  the  ^Jew.s. 

14  For  if  thou  altogether  hold- 
est  thy  peace  at  this  time,  then 
'"shall  there  enlargement  and  de- 
liverance arise  to  the  ''Jews  from 
another  place;  but  thou  and  thy 
father's  house  shall  be  destroy- 
ed: and  who  knoweth  whether 
thou  art  come  to  the  kingdom 
for  such  a  time  as  this  ? 

15  T[  Then  ^'^Es'ther  bade  them 
return  Mor'de-cai  this  anstoer, 

16  Go,  gather  together  all  the 
'Jews  that  are  present  in  ^Shu'- 
shan,  and  'fast  ye  for  me,  and 
neither  eat  nor  drink  three  days, 
night  or  day:  I  also  and  my 
maidens  will  fast  likewise;  and 
"so  will  I  go  in  unto  the  king, 
which  is  not  according  to  the 
law:  and  ''■'"if  I  perish,  I  perish. 

17  So  Mor'de-cai  went  his 
way,  and  did  according  to  all 
that  Es'ther  had  commanded 
him. 

CHAPTER  5 

Esther,  venturing  to  go  to  the  king,  obtains 
his  favor,  and  invites  the  king  and  Hu- 
man to  a  banquet.  6  She,  being  encour- 
aged by  the  king,  invites  them  to  another 
banquet  the  next  day.  9  Hainan  repines 
at  the  contempt  of  Mordecai.  13  He 
builds  a  gallows  for  him. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
third  day,  that  ''Es'ther 
put  on  her  *royal  apparel,  and 
"■stood  in  the  inner  court  of  the 
''king's  house,  over  against  the 
king's  house:  and  the  "^king  sat 
upon  his  royal  throne  in  the 
royal  house,  over  against  the 
gate  of  the  house. 

2  And  it  was  so,  when  the  *king 
saw  "Es'ther  the  queen  standing 


in  the  court,  that  she  obtained 
favour  in  his  sight:  and  the  king 
held  out  to  Es'ther  the  golden 
''sceptre  that  was  in  his  hand.  So 
Es'ther  drew  near,  and  touched 
the  top  of  the  sceptre. 

3  Then  said  the  king  unto  her, 
What  wilt  thou,  queen  "Es'ther  ? 
and  what  is  thy  request  ?  it  shall 
be  even  given  thee  to  the  half  of 
the  kingdom. 

4  And  "Es'tlier  answered.  If  ii 
seem  good  unto  the  king,  let  the 
king  and  ''Ha'man  come  this  day 
unto  the  ''bancjuet  that  I  have 
prepared  for  him. 

5  Then  the  king  said,  Cause 
''Ha'man  to  make  haste,  that  he 
may  do  as  "Es'ther  hath  said.  So 
the  king  and  Ha'man  came  to 
the  '''banquet  that  Es'thcr  had 
prepared. 

6  T[  And  the  king  said  imto 
"Es'ther  at  the  ''banquet  of 
'wine.  What  is  thy  *petition  ? 
and  it  shall  be  granted  thee:  and 
what  is  thy  request  ?  even  to  the 
half  of  the  kingdom  it  shall  be 
performed. 

7  Then  answered  Es'ther,  and 
said.  My  *petition  and  my  re- 
quest is; 

8  If  I  have  found  favour  in  the 
sight  of  the  king,  and  if  it  please 
the  king  to  grant  my  *petition, 
and  to  perform  my  recjuest,  let 
the  king  and  ^Ha'man  come  to 
the  ''banquet  that  I  shall  prepare 
for  them,  and  I  will  do  to  mor- 
row as  the  king  hath  saitl. 

9  ^  Then  went  ''Ha'man  forth 
that  day  'joyful  and  with  a  glad 
heart:  but  when  Ha'man  saw 
^INIor'de-cai  in  the  king's  gate, 
that  he  stood  not  up,  nor  moved 
for  him,  he  was  'full  of  'indig- 
nation against  Mor'de-cai. 

10  Nevertheless  ^Ha'man  re- 
frained himself:  and  when  he 
came  home,  he  sent  and  called

11  And  ^'Ha'man  "told  them  of 
the  glory  of  his  "riches,  and  the 
multitude  of  his  children,  and 
all  the  tilings  -wherein  the  king 
had  promoted  him,  and  how  he

princes  and  servants  of  the  king. 

12  ''Ha'man  "said  moreover. 
Yea,  "Esther  tlie  queen  did  let 
no  man  come  in  with  the  king 
unto  the  ''banquet  that  she  had 
prepared  but  myself;  and  to 
morrow  am  I  invited  unto  her 
also  with  the  king. 

13  Yet  all  this  availeth  me 
nothing,  ^so  long  as  I  see  *i\l6r'- 
de-cai  the  ^'Jew  sitting  at  the

14  Then  said  "'-'^Ze'resh  his

him,  Let  a  ^gallows  be  made  of 
fifty  'cubits  high,  and  to  mor-

that  ^Mor'de-cai  may  be  hanged 
thereon :  then  go  thou  in  merrily 
with  the  king  unto  the  ''baiKjuet. 
And  the  thing  jileased  Ila'man; 
and  he  caused  the  gallows  to  be 
made. 

CHAPTER  G 

Ahasucrus.  rracltng  In  the  chronicles  of  tlic 
good  .service  done  by  Mordccol,  provides 
jar  his  reward.  4  Ilaman,  coming  to  ask 
that  Mordccai  may  be  hanged,  unawares 
gives  counsel  how  the  Icing  may  do  Mor- 
decal  honor.  12  When  Unman  com- 
plains of  his  misfortune,  his  friends  pre- 
dict his  fall. 

X  that  night  "could  not  the 
*king  sleep,  and  he  com- 
manded to  bring  the  ''book  of 
records  of  the  '^chronicles;  and 
they  were  read  before  the  king. 

2  And  it  was  found  written, 
that  ^'Mor'de-cai  "had  told  of 
"Big'tha-na  and  ^Te'resh,  two 
of  the  king's  chamberlains, 
the  keepers  of  the  door,  '^vho 
sought  to  lay  liand  on  the  king 
''A-ha.s-u-e'rus. 

3  And   tlie   ''kins:  said,   What 


0 


honour  and  dignity  hath  been 
done  to  ''INlor'dc-cai  for  this  ? 
Then  said  the  king's  servants 
that  ministered  unto  him,  There 
is  nothing  done  for  him. 

4  And  the  ''king  said,  Who  t-s 
in  the  court?  Now  'Ila'man 
was  come  into  the  outward  court 
of  the  '"king's  house,  "to  s])cak 
unto  the  king  to  hang  '']\l6r'de- 
cai  on  the  "gallows  that  he  had 
prepared  for  him. 

5  And  the  ''king's  servants  said 
unto  him.  Behold,  'Ha'man 
standcth  in  the  court.  And  the 
king  said,  Let  him  come  in. 

G  So  'Ha'man  came  in.  And  the 
"king  said  unto  him.  What  shall 
be  done  imto  the  man  w^hom  the 
king  delighteth  to  honour  ?  Now^ 
Ha'man  ^' ^thought  in  his  heart. 
To  whom  would  the  king  de- 
light to  do  honour  more  than  to 
myself  ? 

7  And  Ha'inan  answered  the 
king,  For  the  man  whom  the 
king  delighteth  to  honour, 

8  Let  the  ''royal  apparel  be 
brought  which  the  king  usciJi  to 
wear,  and  the  horse  tliat  the  king 
rideth  upon,  and  Hhe  ^crown 
royal  which  is  set  upon  his  head: 

9  And  let  this  ''apparel  and 
horse  be  delivered  to  the  iiand  of 
one  of  the  king's  most  noble 
princes,  that  they  may  array  the 
man  withal  whom  the  king  de- 
lighteth to  honour,  and  bring 
him  on  horseback  tli rough  the 
street  of  the  city,  and  proclaiin 
before  him,  ^J^hus  shall  it  be 
done  to  the  man  whom  the  king 
delighteth  to  honour. 

10  Then  the  king  said  to  ^Ha'- 
man.  Make  haste,  and  take  the 
apparel  and  the  horse,  as  thou 
hast  said,  and  do  even  so  to 
^M6r'de-cai  the  'Jew,  thatsitteth 
at  the  king's  gate:  let  nothing 
fail  of  all  that  thou  hast  spoken.

11  Then  took  'Ha'man  the  ap- 
parel and  the  horse,  and  arrayed 
^M6r'de-cai,  and  brought  him 
on  horseback  through  the 
street  of  the  city,  and  pro- 
claimed before  him,  Thus 
shall  it  be  done  unto  the  man 
whom  the  king  delighteth  to 
honour. 

12  ^  And  ^Mor'de-cai  came 
again  to  the  king's  gate.  ^But 
'Ha'man  hasted  to  his  house 
"mourning,  and  having  his  head 
covered. 

13  And  ^•^Ha'man  told  "Ze'- 
resh  his  wife  and  all  his  friends 
every  thing  that  had  befallen 
him.  Then  said  his  wise  men 
and  Ze'resh  his  wife  unto  him, 
If  '^Mor'de-cai  be  of  the  seed  of 
the  Mew.s,  before  whom  thou 
hast  begun  to  fall,  thou  shalt  not 
prevail  against  him,  but  shalt 
surely  fall  before  him. 

14  And  while  they  were  yet  talk- 
ing with  him,  came  the  king's 
chamberlains,  and  hasted  to 
bring  'Ha'man  unto  the  ""ban- 
quet that  ^Es'ther  had  pre- 
pared. 

CHAPTER  7 

Esther,  entertaining  the  king  and  Haman. 
pleads  for  her  own  life  and  for  that  of  her 
people.  5  Slie  accuses  Haman.  7  The 
king  in  his  anger  commands  that  Haman 
be  flanged  on  the  gallows  made  for  Mor- 
decai. 

SO   the    "king    and   ''Ha'man 
came    to    "banquet     with 
'^Es'ther  the  ^queen. 

2  And  the  king  said  again  unto 
''Es'ther  on  the  second  day  at  the 
^banquet  of  Vine,  What  is  thy 
^petition,  queen  Es'ther  ?  and  it 
shall  be  granted  thee:  and  what 
is  thy  request?  and  it  shall  be 
performed,  even  to  the  half  of 
the  kingdom. 

3  Then  ''Es'ther  the  ^queen 
answered  and  ''said.  If  I  have 
found  favour  in  thy  sight,  O 
king,  and  if  it  please  the  king, 
let  my  life  be  given  me  at  my 


"jjctition,  and  'my  people  at  my 
request: 

4  For  we  are  sold,  I  and  my 
people,  to  be  destroyed,  to  be 
%lain,  and  to  perish.  But  if  we 
had  been  sold  for  bondmen  and 
bondwomen,  I  had  held  my 
Hongue,  although  tlie  enemy 
could  not  countervail  the  king's 
damage. 

5^  Then  the  king  °A-ha§-u-e'- 
riis  answered  and  said  unto  ''Es'- 
ther the  '"queen.  Who  is  he,  and 
where  is  he,  that  durst  presume 
in  his  heart  to  do  so  ? 

6  And  "Es'ther  said.  The  ad- 
versary and  enemy  is  this  wicked 
''Ha'man.  Then  Ha'man  was 
afraid  before  tlie  king  and  the 
({ueen. 

7  Tf  And  the  king  arising  from 
tlie  '"banquet  of  '^wine  in  his 
''wrath  went  into  the  'palace 
garden:  and  ''Ha'man  stood 
up  to  make  request  for  his 
life  to  '^Es'ther  the  ^queen; 
for  he  saw  that  tliere  was  evil 
determined  against  him  by  the 
king. 

8  Then  the  king  returned  out 
of  the  'palace  garden  into  the 
place  of  the  banquet  of  wine; 
and  ''Ha'man  was  fallen  upon 
the  bed  whereon  ''Es'ther  itns. 
Then  said  the  king,  W^ill  he 
force  the  queen  also  before  me  in 
the  house  ?  As  the  word  went 
out  of  the  king's  mouth,  they 
covered  Ha'man's  face. 

9  And  "'Har-b(3'nah,  one  of  the 
chamberlains,  said  before  the 
king.  Behold  also,  the  "gallows 
fifty  "cubits  high,  which  "Pla'- 
man  had  made  for  ^Mor'de-cai, 
who  had  spoken  good  for  the 
king,  standeth  in  the  house  of 
Ha'man.  Then  the  '^king  said, 
Hang  him  thereon. 

10  So  they  ^-''nanged  Ha'man 
on  the  "gallow\s  that  he  had  pre- 
pared for  ^Mor'de-cai.  Then 
was  the  king's  ^'wrath  pacified.

N  that  day  did  the  king 
"A-ha.s-u-e'rui-  ''give  the 
*house  of  ''Ha''inan  the  Jew.s' 
enemy  unto  '^Es'ther  the  ''queen. 
And  ']\l6r'de-crii  came  before 
the  king;  for  Es'ther  had  told 
what  he  was  unto  her. 

2  And  the  king  took  off  his 
^ring,  which  he  had  taken  from 
""Idri'manjand  gave  it  unto'^Mor''- 
tle-cai.  And  ''Es'ther  ^set  ':\ lor'- 
de-caioverthe*houseofHa'man. 

3  T[  And  '^Es'ther  spake  yet 
again  before  the  king,  and  fell 
tlown  at  his  feet,  and  'besouglit 
him  with  tears  to  put  away  the 
mischief  of  Ha'man  the  A'gag- 
Ite,  and  his  device  that  he  had 
devised  against  the  ''Jew.s. 

4  Tiien  tiie  king  held  out  the 
golden  'sceptre  toward  Es'ther. 
So  Es'ther  arose,  and  stood  be- 
fore the  king, 

5  And  said,  "'If  it  please  the 
king,  and  if  I  have  found  favour 
in  his  sight,  and  the  thing  seem 
right  before  the  king,  and  I  be 
pleasing  in  his  eyes,  let  it  be 
written  to  reverse  the  letters  de- 
vised by  '^Ha'man  the  son  of 
"Ham-med'a-tha  the  A'g3,g-Tte, 
which  he  wrote  to  destroy  the 
*Jew.s  which  ai-e  in  all  the  king's 
provinces : 

6  For  how  can  I  endure  to  see 
the  evil  that  shall  come  unto  my 
people  ?  or  how  can  I  endure  to 
see  the  destruction  of  my  kin- 
dred ? 

7  ^  Then  the  king  "A-hag-u- 


e'lus  said  unto  ''Es'ther  the 
(jueen  and  to  ^Mor'dc-cai  the 
Jew,  Behold,  I  have  given  Es'- 
tlic"  the  *h()use  of  lla'man,  and 
him  they  have  "hanged  upon  the 
gallows,  because  he  laid  his  hand 
upon  the  *Jew.s. 

8  Write  ye  also  for  the  ^Jew.s, 
as  it  liketh  you,  in  the  king's 
name,  and  ^\seal  it  with  the 
king's  ''ring:  for  the  writing 
which  is  written  in  the  king's 
name,  and  sealed  with  the  king's 
ring,  ^nuiy  no  man  reverse. 

9  Then  were  the  king's  ''scribes 
called  at  that  time  in  the  third 
*month,  that  is,  the  month  Si'- 
van,  on  the  three  and  twentieth 
day  thereof;  ami  'it  vras  written 
according  to  all  that  ''Mor'de-cai 
commanded  unto  the  '^Jews,  and 
to  the  lieutenants,  and  the  depu- 
ties and  rulers  of  the  "provinces 
which  are  ^'from  "'In'di-a  unto

and  seven  provinces,  unto  every

ing thereof,  and  unto  every 
people  after  their  ^language, 
and  to  the  Jew§  according  to 
their  writing,  and  according  to 
their  language. 

10  And  he  wrote  in  the  king  °A- 
ha,s-u-e'ius'  name,  and  ^sealed 
'it  with  the  king's  "ring,  and 
sent  letters  by  ^posts  on  horse-

els, and  young  (b'omedaries:

pie  and  province  that  would  as-

women,  and  to  take  the  spoil  of 
them  for  a  prey, 

12  Upon  one  day  in  all  the 
provinces  of  king  ''A-has-u-e'- 
rus,  namely,  upon  the  thirteenth 
day  of  the  twelfth  "^month,  which 
is  the  month  A'diir. 

13  The  copy  of  the  ° writing  for 
a  commandment  to  be  given  in 
every  province  loas  published 
unto  all  j^eople,  and  that  the 
'^Jews  should  be  ready  against 
that  day  to  avenge  themselves  on 
their  enemies. 

14  So  the  ^posts  that  rode  upon 
^raules  and  camels  went  out,  be- 
ing hastened  and  pressed  on  by 
the  king's  commandment.  And 
the  "decree  was  given  at  ''Shi/- 
shan  the  palace. 

15  \  And  ^M6r'de-cai  went  out 
from  the  presence  of  the  *king 
in  royal  apparel  of  ''blue  and 
''white,  and  with  a  great  'crown 
of  'gold,  and  with  a  garment  of 
fine  *  linen  and  ''purple:  and  the 
city  of  ^Shu'shan  rejoiced  and 
was  glad. 

16  The  "^Jew.s  had  light,  and 
gladness,  and  'joy,  and  honour. 

17  And  in  every  province,  and 
in  every  city,  whithersoever  the 
king's''commandment  and  his  de- 
cree came,  the '^ Jews  had 'joy  and 
gladness,  a  '"feast  and  a  good 
day.  And  many  of  the  people  of 
the  land  became  Jew.s;  for  the 
fear  of  tlie  Jew.s  fell  upon  them. 

CHAPTER  9 

The  Jews  {the  rulers  abetling)  destroy  their 
enemies.  12  Ahasuerus.  at  tlie  request  of 
Esther,  grants  another  day  of  slaughter, 
and  the  destruction  of  Haman's  sons.  20 
The  festival  of  Purlin  established. 

NOW  in  the  twelfth  "month, 
that  is,  the  month  AMar, 
on  tlie  thirteenth  day  of  the 
same,  when  the  ''king's  '^com- 
mandment and  his  decree  drew 
near  to  be  put  in  execution,  in 
the  day  that  the  enemies  of  the 


''Jew.s  hoped  to  have  power  over 
them,  (though  it  was  turned  to 
the  contrary,  that  the  Jew.s  had 
rule  over  them  that  hated  them ;) 

2  The  '*Jew§  gathered  them- 
selves together  in  their  cities 
throughout  all  the  provinces  of 
the  king  ''A-ha.s-u-e'riis,  to  lay 
hand  on  such  as  sought  their 
hurt:  and  no  man  could  with- 
stand them ;  for  the  fear  of  them 
fell  upon  all  people. 

3  And  all  the  rulers  of  the 
''provinces,  and  the  lieutenants, 
and  the  deputies,  and  officers  of 
the  king,  helped  the  ''Jew.s;  be- 
cause the  fear  of  'jNIor'de-cai  fell 
upon  them. 

4  For  ^jNIor'de-cai  was  great  in 
the  king's  house,  and  his  fame 
went  out  throughout  all  the 
provinces:  for  this  man  Mor'de- 
cai  waxed  greater  and  greater. 

5  Thus  the  ''Jew.s  ''smote  all 
their  enemies  with  the  stroke  of 
the  sword,  and  slaughter,  and 
destruction,  and  did  what  they 
would  unto  those  that  hated 
them. 

6  And  in  ''Shu'shan  the  ^palace 
the  Jew.s  "slew  and  destroyed 
five  hundred  men, 

7  And  Par-shan'da-tha,  and 
Dal'phon,  and  As'pa-tha, 

8  And  Poi-'a-tha,  and  Ad-a-

9  And  Par-mash'ta,  and  A-ris'-

son  of  'Ham-med'a-tha,  the  ene- 
my of  the  ''Jew.s,  "slew  they;  but 
on  the  spoil  laid  they  not  their 
hand. 

11  On  that  day  the  number  of 
those  that  were  slain  in  ''Shii'- 
shan  the  'palace  was  brought  be- 
fore the  king. 

12  ^  And  the  king  said  unto

'palace,  and  the  ten  sons  of 
'^Ha'man;  what  have  they  clone 
in  the  rest  of  the  king's  prov- 
inces ?  now  what  is  thy  "peti- 
tion ?  and  it  shill  be  granted 
thee:  or  what  is  thy  recpiest  fur- 
ther ?  and  it  shall  be  done. 

13  Then  said  '"Es'ther,  If  it 
please  the  king,  let  it  be  granted 
to  the  '^  Jews  which  are  in  *Shii'- 
shan  to  do  to  morrow  also  ac- 
cording unto  this  day's  decree, 
and  let  ^'Ha'mar's  ten  sons  be 
hanged  upon  the  "gallows. 

14  And  the  king  commanded  it 
so  to  be  done :  and  the  decree  was 
given  at  ''Shi/shan;  and  tiiey 
''hanged  ^Ha'man's  ten  sons. 

15  For  the  '^Jews  that  were  in 
''Shu'shan  gathered  themselves 
together  on  the  fourteenth  day 
also  of  the  '^month  A'dar,  and 
Aslew  three  hundred  men  at 
Shii'shan;  but  on  the  prey  they 
laid  not  their  hand. 

16  But  the  other  ''Jews  that 
were  in  the  king's  '^provinces 
gathered  themselves  together, 
and  stood  for  their  lives,  and  had 
rest  from  their  enemies,  and 
'slew  of  their  foes  seventy  and 
five  thousand,  but  they  laid  not 
their  hands  on  the  jirey, 

17  On  tlie  thirteenth  day  of  the 
"month  A'diir;  and  on  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  same  rested 
they,  and  made  it  a  day  of 
''feasting  and  'gladness. 

18  But  the  ''Jews  that  were  at 
^Shii'shan  assembled  together  on 
the  thirteenth  dmj  thereof,  and 
on  the  fourteenth  thereof;  and 
on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  same 
they  rested,  and  made  it  a  day  of 
^feasting  and  'gladness. 

19  Therefore  the  ''Jews  of  th(> 
villages,  that  dwelt  in  the  un- 
walled  towns,  made  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  '^month  A'diir 
a  dan  ^1  gladness  and  feasting, 
and  a  good  day,  and  of  sending 
""portions  one  to  another. 


20  Tf  And  /jNlor'de-cai  wrote 
these  things,  and  sent  ^letters 
unto  all  the  ''Jews  that  tvere  in  all 
the  provinces  of  the  king  "A-has- 
u-e'riis,  both  nigh  and  far, 

21  To  stablish  this  among 
them,  that  they  should  keep  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  '^month 
x\'dar,  and  the  fifteenth  day  of 
the  same,  yearly, 

22  As  the  days  wherein  the 
''Jews  rested  from  their  enemies, 
and  the  ''month  which  was  turn- 
ed luito  them  from  sorrow  io 
'joy,  and  from  mourning  into  a 
good  day:  that  they  should  make 
them  days  of  ^feasting  and  'joy, 
and  of  sending  ''portions  one  to 
another,  and  ""gifts  to  the  'poor. 

23  And  the  ''Jews  undertook  to 
do  as  they  had  begun,  and  as 
^]\l6r'de-cai  had  written  unto 
them ; 

24  Because  ^Ra'man  the  son  of 
'Ham-med'a-tha,  the  A'gag-Ite, 
the  enemy  of  all  the  "Jews,  had 
devised  against  the  Jew§  to  de- 
stroy them,  and  had  cast  Pur, 
that  is,  the  "lot,  to  consume 
them,  and  to  destroy  them; 

25  But  when  ^Es'ther  came 
before  the  king,  he  commanded 
by  ^letters  that  his  wicked  de- 
vice, which  he  devised  against 
the  Jews,  "should  return  upon 
his  own  head,  and  that  he  and 
his  sons  should  be  ""hanged  on 
the  "gallows. 

26  Wherefore  they  called  these 
days  "Pu'rim  after  the  name  of 
Ptjr.  Therefore  for  all  the  words 
of  this  letter,  and  o/  that  wliich 
they  had  seen  concerning  this 
matter,  and  which  had  come  un- 
to them, 

27  The  "Jews  ordained,  and 
took  upon  them,  and  upon  their 
seed,  and  ujwn  all  such  as  joined 
themselves  unto  them,  so  as  it 
should  not  fail,  that  they  would

THERE  was  a  man  in  the  land 
of  '^IJz,  whose  name  was 
*Job;  and  that  man  was  ^perfect 
and  '^-''upright,  and  one  that 
'^feared  God,  and  ''eschewed  evil. 

2  And  there  were  born  unto  him 
seven  ^sons  and  three  ^daughters. 

3  His  substance  also  was  seven 
thousand  sheep,  and  three  thou- 
sand camels,  and  five  hundred 
yoke  of  oxen,  and  five  hundred 
she    asses,    and    a    very    great

the  greatest  of  all  the  men  of  the 
east. 

4  x\nd  his  sons  went  and  ''feast- 
ed in  their  houses,  every  one  his 
day;  and  sent  and  called  for 
their  three  sisters  to  ^at  and  to

5  And  it  was  so,  when  the  days 
of  their  ''feasting  were  gone 
about,  that  *  Job  'sent  and  ^sanc-

in  the  morning,  and  ''''offered

have  sinned,  and  ^•"cursed  God 
in  their  hearts.  "'Jlias  did  Job 
continually. 

G  T]  Xow  there  was  a  day  when 
the  ''sons  of  God  came  to  j)re- 
sent  themselves  before  the 
Lord,  and  ^-^Sa'tan  came  also 
among  them. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
'Saltan,  Whence  comest  thou  ? 
Then  Saltan  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said.  From  going  to 
and  fro  in  tlie  earth,  and  from 
walking  up  and  down  in  it. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  *Sa'- 
tan,  Hast  tliou  considered  my 
servant  *Job,  that  iliere  is  none 
like  him  in  the  earth,  a  ''perfect 
and  an  '"•'^upright  man,  one  that 
'^feareth  God,  and  ''escheweth 
evil  ? 

9  Then  ^Sa'tan  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said,  '■•^•'Doth  ^Jol) 
''fear  God  for  nought  ? 

10  Hast  not  thou  "made  an 
hedge  about  *him,  and  about 
his  house,  and  about  all  that  he 
hath  on  every  side  ?  thou  hast 
"^blessed  the  work  of  his  hands, 
and  his  "'substance  is  increased 
in  the  land. 

11  'But  put  forth  thine  hand 
new,  and  touch  all  that  he  hath, 
and  *he  will  ^-^curse  thee  to  thy 
face. 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
"Sa'tan,  Behold,  %11  that  he 
hath  is  in  thy  power;  only  upon 
himself  put  not  forth  thine  hand. 
So  Sa'tan  went  forth  from  the 
presence  of  the  TvORD. 

13  ^  And  there  was  a  day  when 
*his  sons  and  his  daughters  were 
''eating  and  drinking  ^wine  in 
their  eldest  brother's  house: 

14  And  there  came  a  messenger 
unto  *Jdb,  and  .said,  The  oxen 
were  "plowing,  aiid  the  *asses 
feeding  beside  them: 

15  And  the  ^•'^Sa-be'ans  fell  iip- 
on  them,  and  took  them  away; 
yea,   they  have  slain   the  ^serv- 


ants with  the  edge  of  the  ^sword; 
and  I  only  am  escaped  alone  to 
tell  thee. 

10  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  another,  and 
said.  The  ^fire  of  God  is  fallen 
from  heaven,  and  hath  burned 
up  the  ''sheep,  and  the  ''servants, 
and  consumed  them;  and  I  only 
am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

17  While  he  icas  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  another,  and 
said.  The  'Chal-de'ans  'made 
out  three  bands,  and  fell  upon 
the  ''^camels,  and  have  carried 
them  away,  yea,  and  slain  the 
servants  with  the  edge  of  the 
^sword;  and  I  only  am  escaped 
alone  to  tell  thee. 

18  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  another,  and 
said,  I'liy  sons  and  thy  daugh- 
ters 'UK're  'eating  and  drinking 
wine  in  their  eldest  brother's 
house: 

19  And,  behold,  there  came  a 
great  '"'"wind  from  the  wilder- 
ness, and  smote  the  four  corners 
of  the  house,  and  it  fell  upon 
the  young  men,  and  they  an^ 
dead;  and  I  only  am  escaped 
alone  to  tell  thee. 

20  Then  *Job  arose,  and 
"•''rent  his  ^mantle,  and  ''shaved 
his  head,  and  fell  down  uj)on  the 
ground,  and  *worshij)ped, 

21  And  said,  'Naked  came  I  out 
of  my  mother's  womb,  and  na- 
ked shall  I  return  thither:  the 
Lord  ''gave,  and  the  Lord 
"-'"hath  taken  away;  ^' ''•^blessed 
be  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

22  In  all  this  *Job  "sinned  not, 
nor  charged   God   '^foolishly.

skin,  yea,  all  that  a  man  ht^th 
will  he  give  for  his   life. 

5  ■'But  put  forth  thine  hand 
now,  and  touch  his  bone  and  his 
flesh,  and  he  will  ^-^curse  thee 
to   thy   face. 

6  And  the  Lord  ^said  unto 
''Sa'tan,  Behold,  he  is  in  thine 
hand;  but  save  his  life. 

7  ^  So  went  *Sa'tan  forth  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord^  and 
smote  "^Job  with  sore  '"■"boils 
from  the  sole  of  his  foot  unto  his 
crown. 

8  And  he  took  him  a  "potsherd 
to  scrape  himself  withal;  and  he 
sat  down  among  the  'hashes. 

9  Tl  Then  'said  his  ''wife  unto 
him.  Dost  thou  still  retain  thine 
*integrity  ?  ^-'^curse  God,  and 
die. 

10  But  he  said  unto  her,  Thou 


^speakest  as  one  of  the  foolish 
women  speaketh.  'What  ?  shall 
we  receive  good  at  the  hand  of 
God,  and  shall  we  not  receive 
"evil  ?  Li  all  this  did  not  '^Job 
sin  with  his  lips. 

11  ^  Now  when  '^ Job's  three 
^'friends  heard  of  all  this  evil  that 
was  come  upon  him,  "'they  came 
every  one  from  his  own  place; 
■^El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite,  and 
^'Bil'dad  the  Shu'hlte,  and  "Zo'- 
phar  the  Xa'a-math-Ite:  for  they 
had  made  an  appointment  to- 
gether to  come  to  "mourn  with 
him  and  to  ^comfort  him. 

12  And  ^when  they  lifted  up 
their  eyes  afar  off,  and  knew  him 
not,  '^they  "lifted  up  their  voice, 
and  ^wept;  and  they  ''rent  every 
one  his  ''mantle,  and  sprinkled 
''dust  upon  their  heads  toward 
heaven. 

13  So  ''they  ''sat  down  "with 
him  upon  the  ground  seven  days 
and  seve?i  nights,  and  none 
spake  a  word  unto  him:  for  they 
saw  that  his  grief  was  very  great. 

CHAPTER  3 

Job's  complaint:  hr  curses  the  day  of  his 
birth:  11  wishes  he  had  died  from  the 
womb:  13  tlwn  would  he  have  been  at  rest, 
20  and  asks  ivhy  life  is  gljien  to  the  mis 
erablc. 

AFTER  this  opened  "Job  liis 
mouth,    and    *' "•''cursed 
his  day. 

2  And  Job  spake,  and  '"•''said, 

3  '^•"Let  the  May  perish  wheiein 
I  was  born,  and  the  night  in 
which  it  was  said.  There  is  a 
man  child  conceived. 

4  '^•''Let  that  May  be  darkness; 
let  not  God  regard  it  from  above,

dwell  upon  it;  let  the  blackness

6  ^45/0/- that  night,  let  darkness 
seize  upon  it;  let  it  not  be  joined 
unto  the  days  of  the  year,  let  it 
not  come  into  the  number  of  the

7  Lo,  let  that  night  be  -solitary,

8  Let  them  curse  it  that  curse

thereof  be  dark;  let  it  look  for

it  ■'see  the  dawning  of  the  day: 

10  Because  it  shut  not  up  the 
doors  of  my  moihers  womb,  nor 
hid  sorrow  from  mine  eyes. 

11  ^•''Why  died  I  not  from  the 
womb?  why  did  I  not  give  up 
the  ghost  when  I  came  out  of 
the  belly  ? 

12  ''"''Why  did  the  knees  ^jire- 
vent  me  ?  or  why  the  breasts  that 
I  should  suck  ? 

1.3  For  now  should  I  have  lain 
still  and  been  (piiet,  I  should 
have  ^slept:  then  had  I  been  at 
rest, 

14  With  ''kings  and  'counsel- 
lors of  the  earth,  which  built 
•^desolate  places  for  themselves; 

15  Or  with  ])rinces  that  had 
'gold,  who  filled  their  houses 
with  ^silver: 

16  Or  as  an  hidden  untimely 
birth  I  had  not  been;  as  infants 
irliirJi  never  saw  light. 

17  ^There  tlu^,  wicked  cease

weary  be  at  rest. 

18  ^There  the  prisoners  rest  to- 
gether; they  hear  not  the  voice  of 
the  ^opy)ressor. 

19  The  small  and  great  are 
"there;  and  the  servant  is  free 
from  his  master. 


20  Wherefore  is  light  given  to 
him  that  is  in  misery,  and  life 
unto  the  bitter  in  soul; 

21  Which  long  for  'death,  but 
it  Cometh  not;  and  dig  for  it  more 
than  for  hid  treasures; 

22  Which  rejoice  exceedingly, 
and  are  glad,  when  they  can  find 
the  '-'"grave  ? 

23  '^■'Whi/  is  light  fjiven  to  a 
man  whose  way  is  hid,  antl 
whom  God  hath  hedged  in  ? 

24  For  my  sighing  cometh  be- 
fore I  eat,  and  my  roarings  are 
poured  out  like  the  waters. 

25  For  the  thing  which  I 
^greatly  feared  is  come  upon 
me,  and  that  which  I  was  afraid 
of  is  come  unto  me. 

26  I  ''was  not  in  safety,  neither 
had  I  rest,  neither  was  I  quiet; 
yet  trouble  came.

12  Now  a  thing  was  secretly 
brought  to  me,  and  mine  ear  re- 
ceived a  little  thereof.

14  Fear  came  upon  me,  and 
trembling,  which  made  all  my

15  Then  a  spirit  passed  before 
my  face;  the  hair  of  m.y  flesh 
stood  up: 

16  It  stood  still,  but  I  could  not 
discern  the  form  thereof:  an  im- 
age was  before  mine  eyes,  there 
was  silence,  and  I  heard  a  voice, 
saying, 

17  Shall  mortal  *man  be  more 
just  than  '^God  ?  shall  a  man  be 
more  ''pure  than  his  maker  ? 

18  Behold,  he  put  no  trust  in

charged  with  folly: 

19  How  much  less  in  them  that 
dwell  in  ^houses  of  'clay,  who.se 
foundation  is  in  the  "dust, 
which  are  "crushed  before  the

6  that  afflictions  are  from  God;  8  urges 
Jot)  to  commit  his  cause  to  God;  17  and 
shows  the  happy  fruits  of  God's  correction.

5  Whose  harvest  the  hungry 
eateth  up,  and  taketh  it  even  out

swalloweth  up  their  substance. 

6  Although  ^affliction  cometh 
not  forth  of  the  dust,  neither

complaints,  8  longs  for  death;  14  reproves 
his  friends  for  their  unkindness;  24  and

selves in  array  against  me.

26  Do  ye  imagine  to  reprove 
""words,  and  the  speeches  of  one

are  not  his  *days  also  like  the

2  As  a  ^servant  earnestly  de- 
sireth  the  shadow,  and  as  an 
'^' hireling  looketh  for  ^the  re- 
ward of  his  work: 

3  °So  am  1  made  to  possess

me. 

4  °When  I  lie  down,  I  say. 
When  shall  I  arise,  ^and  the 
night  be  gone  ?  and  I  am  full  of

dawning  of  the  day. 

5  INIy  flesh  is  'clothed  with 
worms  and  clods  of  dust;  my 
skin  ^is  broken,  and  become 
K>athsome. 

6  *My  days  are  swifter  than  a 
''weaver's  shuttle,  and  are  spent 
without  hope. 

7  O  remember  that  my  *life  is 
wind:  mine  eye  shall  no  more 
see  good. 

8  *The  eye  of  him  that  hath

11  Can  the  rush  grow  up  with- 
out mire  ?  can  the  flag  grow 
without  water? 

12  Whilst  it  is  yet  in  his  green- 
ness, and  not  cut  down,  it  with- 
ereth  before  any  other  herb. 

13  So  are  the  paths  of  *all  that 
forget  God ;  and  the  ^hypocrite's 
'"•"hope  shall  perish: 

14  Who.se  '"'"hope  shall  be  cut 
off,  and  whose  trust  shall  be  a

15  He  shall  ^lean  upon  his 
house,  but  it  shall  not  stand: 
he  shall  hold  it  fast,  but  it  shall 
not  endure. 

16  He  is  green  before  the  sun,

in  his  garden. 

17  His  roots  are  wra]>ped  about 
the  heap,  and  seeth  tiie  place  of

CHAPTER  9 

Job's  anstver  to  Blldad;  he  acknowledges 
the  justice  and  power  of  God;  22  but  con- 
tends that  man's  outward  estate  deter- 
mines not  his  true  character. 

THEN    "Job    answered    and 
said, 

2  *I  know  it  is  so  of  a  truth :  but 
"^how  should  man  be  just  with 
'^•^God? 

3  ''■'^If  he  will  contend  with  him, 
he  cannot  answer  him  one  of  a 
thousand. 

4  '^He  is  'wise  in  heart,  and 
mighty  in  "strength:  *who  hath 
hardened  himself  against  him, 
and  hath  prospered  ? 

5  "^Which  ''removeth  the  *moun- 
tains,  and  they  know  not:  which 
overturneth  them  in  his  ^'^'anger. 

6  '^Which  ''shaketh  the  ^earth 
out  of  her  place,  and  the  pillars 
thereof  tremble. 

7  '^Which  ''commandeth  the 
'"•'*sun,  and  it  riseth  not;  and 
sealeth  up  the  "'"stars. 

8  ''Which  alone  ^spreadeth  out 
the  ^heavens,  and  "treadeth  up- 
on the  waves  of  the  ''sea. 

9  ''Which  ''maketh  ^-^'^Arc-tu'- 
rus,  '^•'O-rl'on,  and  '^•'Ple'ia-de.s, 
and  the  chambers  of  the  south. 

10  "Which  "doeth  "great  things 
"past  finding  out;  yea,  and  won- 
ders without  number. 


11  Lo,  he  goeth  by  me,  and  I 
"'see  him  not:  he  passeth  on  also, 
but  I  perceive  him  not. 

12  Behold,  he^'^taketh  away, 
^who  can  hinder  him  ?  who  will 
say  unto  him,  What  doest 
thou  ? 

13  If  God  will  not  withdraw 
his  ■'•''^anger,  the  ^proud  heli^ers 
clo  stoop  under  him. 

14  ^IIow  much  less  shall  I  an- 
swer him,  and  choose  out  my 
"words  to  reason  with  him? 

15  ^Vhom,  though  I  were  right- 
eous, yet  would  I  not  answer,  but 
I  would  make  supplication  to 
^my  judge. 

16  If  I  had  called,  and  he  had 
answered  me;  ^yct  would  I  *^not 
believe  that  he  had  hearkened 
unto  my  voice. 

17  ''For  he  breaketh  me  with 
a  tempest,  and  multiplieth  my 
wounds  without  cause. 

18  ''■''He  will  not  suffer  me  to 
take  my  breath,  but  filleth  me 
with  bitterness. 

19  If  I  speak  of  strength,  lo,  he 
is  strong:  and  if  of  judgment, 
who  shall  set  me  a  time  to 
plead  ? 

20  ■''If  I  justify  myself,  *mine 
own  mouth  shall  condemn  me: 
^if  I  say,  I  am  'perfect,  it  shall 
also  prove  me  perverse. 

21  ''Though  I  were  'perfect,  yet 
would  I  not  know  my  soul:  I 
would  despise  my  life. 

22  ^This  is  one  thing,  therefore 
I  said  it,  He  destroyeth  the  per- 
fect and  the  wicked. 

23  ''"''If  the  "scourge  slay  sud- 
denly, he  will  ^laugh  at  the  trial 
of  the  innocent. 

24  ''■''The  earth  Is  given  into 
the  hand  of  the  wicked:  he  cov- 
ereth  the  faces  of  the  judges 
thereof;  if  not,  where,  aiid  who

Na'a-math-ite,  aud  *said,

3  ''"'^Should  thy  ^lies  make  men

4  For  thou  hast  '^said,  INIy  doc-

"that  thei/  are  double  to  that 
which  is!  Know  therefore  that 
''God  exacteth  of  thee  less  than 
thine  iniquity  deserveth. 

7  Canst  thou  by  searching  find

and  is  ^-'^cut  down:  he  fleeth  also 
as  a  shadow,  and  "continueth 
not. 

3  And  dost  thou  open  thine

bringest  me  into  judgment  with 
thee? 

4  ^■''Who  can  bring  a  clean

appointed  his  bounds  that  he 
cannot  pass;

thy  wrath  be  past,  that  thou 
wouldest  ^appoint  me  a  set 
time,  and  remember  me! 

14  If  a  man  '^die,  shall  he  live 
ar/ain  ?  ''all  the  days  of  my  ^aj)- 
pointed  time  will  I  wait,  till  my 
change  come. 

15  'Thou  shalt  call,  and  I  will 
answer  thee:  thou  wilt  have  a  de- 
sire to  the  work  of  thine  hands. 

16  For  now  thou  numberest  my 
steps:  dost  thou  not  'watch  over 
my  sin  ? 

17  My  transgression  is  sealed 
up  in  a  bag,  and  thou  sewest  up 
mine  iniquity. 

18  And  surely  the  "mountain 
falling  Cometh  to  nought,  and  tiie 
rock  is  removed  out  of  his  place. 

19  The  waters  wear  the  stones: 
'thou  washest  away  the  things 
which  grow  out  of  the  dust  of  the 
earth;  and  thou  destroyest  the 
hope  of  man. 

20  Thou  "prevailest  for  ever 
against  him,  and  he  passeth: 
thou  changest  his  countenance, 
and  sendest  him  away. 


21  His  sons  come  to  honour, 
and  he  knoweth  it  not;  and  they 
are  l)rouglit  low,  but  he  percciv- 
cth  It  not  of  them. 

22  But  his  flesh  upon  him  shall 
have  *pain,  and  his  soul  within 
him  shall  mourn. 

CHAPTER  15 

The  reply  of  Ellphaz;  he  reproves  Jot)  for 
impiety  in  wlmt  he  had  uttered;  17  and 
shows  the  misery  that  comes  upon  the 
wicked. 

rpHEN   answered    °El'i-pha/, 
-L      the  Te'man-ite,  and  said, 

2  Should  a  wise  man  utter  vain 
knowledge,  and  fill  his  belly  with 
the  east  wind  ? 

3  Should  he  reason  with 
unprofitable  *talk  ?  or  with 
''speeches  wherewith  he  can  do 
no  good  ? 

4  Yea,  thou  castest  off  "^fear, 
and  ^restrainest  prayer  before 
God. 

5  For  Hhy  mouth  uttereth 
thine  iniquity,  and  thou  choosest 
the  tongue  of  the  crafty. 

6  Thine  own  mouth  condemn- 
eth  thee,  and  not  I:  yea,  thine 
own  lij)s  testify  against  thee. 

7  ''Art  thou  the  first  man  tliat 
Avas  born  ?  or  wast  thou  made 
before  the  hills  ? 

8  ^■''Hast  thou  heard  the  secret 
of  God  ?  and  dost  thou  restrain 
wisdom  to  thyself  ? 

9  What  knowest  thou,  that  we 
know  not?  what  understandest 
thou,  which  is  not  in  us  ? 

10  With  us  are  both  the  gray- 
headed  and  very  ''aged  men, 
much  elder  than  thy  father. 

11  "Are  the  consolations  of  God 
^small  with  thee  ?  is  there  any 
secret  thing  with  thee  ? 

12  'Why  doth  thine  heart  carry 
thee  away  ?  and  ^what  do  thy 
eyes  wink  at, 

13  That  thou  turnest  thy  spirit 
against  God,  and  lettest  such 
''words  go  out  of  thy  mouth  ?

should  be  righteous  ? 

15  Behold,  he  putteth  no  trust 
in  his  *saints;  yea, 'the  '^heavens 
are  not  clean  in  his  sight. 

16  How  much  more  *abomi- 
nable  and  filthy  is  'man,  ^vhich 
drinketh  '"iniquity  like  water? 

17  I  will  shew  thee,  hear  me; 
and  that  which  I  have  seen  I 
will  declare; 

18  Which  wise  men  have  told 
from  their  fathers,  and  have  not 
hid  it: 

19  Unto  whom  alone  the  earth 
was  given,  and  no  stranger 
passed  among  them. 

20  The  "wicked  man  "travail- 
eth  with  pain  all  his  days,  %nd 
the  number  of  years  "is  hidden 
to  the  oppressor. 

21  A  ^dreadful  sound  is  in  his 
ears :  'in  prosperity  the  destroyer 
shall  come  upon  him. 

22  He  believeth  not  that  he 
shall  return  out  of  darkness, 
and  he  is  waited  for  of  the 
sword. 

23  He  wandereth  abroad  for 
bread,  saying,  Where  is  it  ?  he 
knoweth  that  the  day  of  dark- 
ness is  ready  at  his  hand. 

24  Trouble  and  anguish  shall 
make  him  ^•''afraid;  they  shall 
prevail  against  him,  as  a  king 
ready  to  the  battle. 

25  For  he  *'stretcheth  out 
his  hand  against  God,  and 
^strengtheneth  himself  against 
the  Almighty. 

26  He  *runneth  upon  him, 
^cvcn  on  his  neck,  upon  the 
thick  bosses  of  his  "bucklers: 

27  Because  he  covereth  his  face 
with  his  fatness,  and  maketh  col- 
lops  of  fat  on  his  flanks. 

28  And  he  dwelleth  in  desolate 
cities,  and  in  houses  which  no 


man  inhabiteth,  which  are  ready 
to  become  heaps. 

29  "He  shall  not  be  rich,  ^nei- 
ther shall  his  substance  continue, 
neither  shall  ^he  prolong  the  per- 
fection thereof  upon  the  earth. 

30  He  shall  not  depart  out  of 
darkness;  the  flame  shall  dry  uj) 
his  branches,  and  by  the  '^^breath 
of  his  mouth  shall  he  go  away. 

31  "Let  not  him  that  is  deceived 
trust  in  vanity:  for  vanity  shall 
be  his  recompence. 

32  It  shall  be  accomplished  be- 
fore his  time,  and  his  branch 
shall  not  be  green. 

33  He  shall  shake  off  his  unripe 
^grape  as  the  vine,  and  shall  cast 
off  his  flower  as  the  ^olive. 

34  For  the  ^''congregation  of 
hvpocrites  shall  he  desolate,  and 
fire  shall  consume  the  taber- 
nacles of  'bribery. 

35  They  "conceive  mischief, 
and  bring  forth  ^H-anity,  and 
their  belly  prepareth  ^deceit. 

CHAPTER  16 

■Job's  answer:  he   reproves  his   friends  for 

their    want    of    sympathy;    7    shows  the 

greatness  of  his    sufferings:   17   and  as- 
serts his  integrity. 

THEN   "Job    answered   and 
said, 

2  I  have  heard  many  such 
things:  miserable  comforters  are 
ye  all. 

3  Shall  *vain  words  have  an 
end  ?  or  what  'emboldeneth  thee 
that  thou  answerest  ? 

4  I  also  could  speak  as  ye  do: 
if  your  soul  were  in  my  soul's 
stead,  I  could  heap  up  words 
against  you,  and  shake  mine 
head  at  you. 

5  But  I  would  "^strengthen  you 
with  my  '^mouth,  and  the  ^mov- 
ing of  my  lips  should  asswage 
your  grief. 

6  ^Though  I  speak,  my  ''grief  is 
not  asswaged:  and  though  I  foi-- 
bear,  what  am  I  eased  ?

all  my  company. 

8  *And  thou  hast  ^filled  me 
with  wrinkles,  which  is  a  wit- 
ness against  me:  and  my  lean- 
ness rising  up  in  me  beareth 
witness  to  my  face. 

9  He  teareth  me  in  his  ''wrath, 
who  hateth  me:  he  *gnasheth 
upon  me  with  his  teeth;  mine 
enemy  sharpeneth  his  eyes  upon 
me. 

10  ^They  have  gaped  upon  me 
with  their  mouth;  they  have 
^smitten  me  upon  the  cheek  re-

themselves  together  against

11  ''God  ''hath  delivered  me  to

up  for  his  mark. 

13  ''His  archers  compass  me

pleadeth  for  his  neighbour!

11  and  declares  tlmt  Ids  hope  Is  nut  in 
life,  but  in  death. 

MY  i'«'*breath  is  corrupt,  my

3  Lay  down  now,  put  me  in  a

will  strike  ''hands  with  me  ? 

4  For  thou  hast  hid  their  heart 
from  understanding:  therefore 
shalt  thou  not  exalt  them. 

5  He  that  ^speaketh  flattery  to 
his  friends,  even  the  eyes  of  his 
children  shall  fail. 

6  He  hath  made  me  also  a  by-

his  own  feet,  and  he  walketh 
upon  a  "snare. 

9  '^The  gin  shall  take  him  by 


the  heel,  and  hhe  robber  shall 
prevail  against  him. 

10  The  snare  is  laid  for  him  in 
the  ground,  and  a  ''trap  for  him 
in  the  way. 

11  ''Terrors  shall  make  *him 
'■'afraid  on  every  side,  and  shall 
drive  him  to  his  feet. 

12  "His  strength  shall  be  hun- 
gerbitten,  and  destruction  shall 
be  ready  at  his  side. 

13^  ■''It  shah  devour  the  strength 
of  his  skin:  even  the  firstborn  of 
death  shall  devour  his  ^strength. 

14  ''His  'confidence  shall  be 
rooted  out  of  his  tabernacle,  and 
it  shall  bring  him  to  the  '"king  of 
terrors. 

15  Tt  shall  dwell  in  his  tab- 
ernacle, because  it  is  none  of 
his:  "brimstone  shall  be  scat- 
tered upon  his  habitation. 

16  ''His  roots  shall  be  dried  uj) 
beneath,  and  above  shall  his 
branch  be  cut  off. 

17  ''His  remembrance  shall  per- 
ish from  the  earth,  and  he  shall 
have  no  name  in  the  street. 

18  ''He  shall  be  driven  from 
light  into  darkness,  and  chased 
out  of  the  world. 

19 ''Heshall  neither  haveson  nor 
^nephew  among  his  people,  nor 
any  remaining  in  his  dwellings. 

20  They  that  come  after  him 
shall  be  astonied  at  his  day,  as 
they  that  went  before  were 
affrighted. 

21  Surely  such  are  the  dwellings 
of  the  wicked,  and  this  is  the 
place  of  him  that  knoweth  not 
God.

CHAPTER  20 


The  reply  of  Zophar;  he  assigns  the  reason 
of  his  speaking.  4  and  sliows  the  state  and 
portion  of  the  wicked. 

THEN  answered  "Zo'phar  the 
Na'a-math-Ite,  and  said, 

2  Therefore  do  my  thought.^ 
cause  me  to  answer,  and  for  this 
I  make  haste. 

3  I  have  heard  the  ^check  of 
my  reproach,  and  the  spirit  of 
my  understanding  ^causeth  me 
to  answer. 

4  Knowest  thou  not  this  of  old, 
since  man  was  placed  upon 
earth, 

5  That  the  ''triumphing  of  the 
wicked  is  short,  and  the  ''''joy 
of  the  ^hypocrite  but  tor  a  mo- 
ment ? 

6  ^Though  his  excellency 
mount  up  to  the  heavens,  and 
his  head  reach  unto  the  clouds; 

7  Yet  "•''he  shall  perish  forever 
like  his  own  dung:  they  which 
have  seen  him  shall  say.  Where 
i.f  he  ? 

8  "■''He  shall  fly  away  as  a 
''dream,  and  shall  not  be  found: 
yea,  he  shall  be  chased  away  as 
a  vision  of  the  night. 

9  "■''The  eye  also  which  saw 
him  shall  see  him,  no  more;  nei- 
ther shall  his  place  any  more  be- 
hold him. 

10  His  children  shall  seek  *to 
please  the  poor,  and  his  hands 
shall  ^restore  their  goods. 

11  His  bones  are  full  ®o/  the  sin 
of  his  youth,  which  shall  lie 
down  with  him  in  the  dust. 

12  Though  'wickedness  be 
sweet  in  his  mouth,  though  he 
hide  it  under  his  tongue; 

13  Though  he  spare  it,  and  for- 
sake it  not;  but  ''keep  it  still 
within  his  mouth: 

14  Yet  "■''his  meat  in  his  bowels 
''is  turned,  it  is  the  ''gall  of  *a.sps 
within  him. 


15  He  hath  ^swallowed  down 
riches,  and  "''he  shall  vomit 
them  up  again:  God  shall  cast 
them  out  of  his  belly. 

16  "■''He  shall  suck  the  'poison 
of  *a3ps:  the  ^viper's  tongue 
shall  slay  him. 

17  He  shall  not  see  the  rivers, 
the  floods,  the  brooks  of  'honey 
and  '"butter. 

18  "■''That  which  he  laboured 
for  shall  he  restore,  and  shall  not 
swallow  it  down:  according  to 
liis  substance  '^ shall  the  restitu- 
tion he,  and  he  shall  not  rejoice 
therein. 

19  Because  "he  hath  oppressed 
and  hath  forsaken  the  "'^poor; 
because  he  hath  violently  'taken 
away  an  house  which  he  builded 
not; 

20  ^Surely  he  shall  not  feel 
quietness  in  his  belly,  he  shall 
not  save  of  that  "which  he  de- 
sired. 

21  There  ^'^shall  none  of  his 
meat  be  left;  therefore  shall  no 
man  look  for  his  goods. 

22  In  the  fulness  of  his  suffi- 
ciency he  shall  be  in  straits: 
'^ every  hand  of  the  wicked  shall 
come  upon  him. 

23  ^-When  he  is  about  to  fill 
his  belly,  God  shall  cast  the  fury 
of  his  '^wrath  upon  him,  and 
shall  rain  it  upon  him  while  he 
is  eating. 

24  He  shall  flee  from  the  ''iron 
weapon,  and  the  *bow  of  ^'^steel 
shall  strike  him  through. 

25  It  is  drawn,  and  cometh  out 
of  the  body;  yea,  the  glittering 
^^sword  cometh  out  of  his  gall: 
terrors  are  upon  him. 

20  All  darkness  ^^shall  be  hid 
in  his  secret  places:  a  fire  not 
blown  shal'  consume  him;  it 
shall  '^tro  ill  with  him  that  is  left 
in  his  tabernacle.

Bl'T    "Job     answered    and

3  Suffer  me  that  I  niay  speak;

and  exhorts  him  to  repentance.

or  is  it  gain  to  him,  that  thou 
makes  t  thy  ways  perfect  ? 

4  -Will  he  reprove  thee  for  fear

into  judgment  ? 

5  Is  not  ''thy  '^wickedness

7  There  the  righteous  might 
^dispute  with  him;  so  should  I 
be  dehvered  for  ever  from  my 
'judge. 

8  "Behold,  I  go  forward,  but  he 
is  not  tJiere;  and  backward,  but 
I  ^cannot  perceive  him: 

9  On  the  left  hand,  where  he 
doth  work,  but  1  cannot  behold 
him:  he  hideth  himself  on  the 
right  hand,  that  I  cannot  see 
h  im : 

10  But  he  ''knoweth  the  way 
that  I  take:  wJten  he  hath  ''tried 
me,  I  shall  come  forth  as  gold. 

11  My  foot  'hath  held  his  steps, 
his  way  have  I  ^kept,  and  not 
declined. 

12  Neither  have  I  gone  back 
from  the  '^'commandment  of  his 
lips;  I  have  esteemed  the  words 
of  his  mouth  more  than  my 
necessary  focxl. 

13  But  'he  is  in  one  mind,  and 
who  can  turn  him  ?  and  ivhat 
his  soul  desireth,  even  that  he 
doeth. 

14  For  he  performeth  tJte  thing 
that  is  '"appointed  for  me:  and 
many  such  things  are  with  him. 

15  Therefore  am  1  troubled  at 
his  presence:  when  I  consider, 
I  am  afraid  of  him. 

16  For  God  maketh  my  "heart 
soft,  and  the  Almighty  "troub-

Job  shows  tluit  tlir  u-lcked  often  go  unpun-

be  brought  low  and  cut  off. 

WHY,  'seeing  times  are  not 
hidden    from   the    "Al- 
mighty, do  they  that  know  him 
"not  see  his  days  ? 
2    'Some    ''remove    the    ^land- 


marks; they  violently  take  away 
flocks,  and  feed  tJiereof. 

3  '^^They  drive  away  the  ass 
of  the  ''fatherless,  they  take  the 
''widow's  ox  for  a  *pledge.

of  the  way:  the  poor  of  the  earth 
hide  themselves  together. 

5  Behold,  as  wild  '•'^asses  in  the 
desert,  go  'they  forth  to  their 
work;  ^rising  betimes  for  a  prey: 
the  wilderness  yieldeth.  food  for 
them  and  for  their  children. 

6  ^They  'reap  every  one  his  corn 
in  tlie  field:  and  they  gather  the 
vintage  of  the  wicked. 

7  They  ^cause  the  naked  to 
lodge  without  clothing,  that  tlieij 
have  no  covering  in  the  cold. 

8  They  are  wet  with  the  show- 
ers of  the  mountains,  and  em- 
brace the  rock  for  want  of  a 
shelter. 

9  "^'They  pluck  the  '"fatherless

CHAPTER  27 

Job  purposes  to  hold  fast  Ms  Integrity:  7 
and  shows  the  groundless  hope  of  the  hypo- 
crite: 11  and  the  r^.iserable  end  of  the 
wicked. 


MOREOVER  «, 
his  iDarable, 


Job  continued 
parable,  and  said, 

2  As  God  hveth,  wJw  hath 
taken  away  my  judgment;  and 
the  Ahiiighty,  who  *hath  vexed 
my  soul; 

3  All  the  while  my  breath  is 
in  me,  and  the  "^spirit  of  God 
is  in  my  nostrils; 

4  My  lips  ''shall  not  speak 
'^wickedness,  nor  my  tongue 
utter  Meceit. 

5  God  forbid  that  I  should  jus- 
tify you:  till  I  die  I  will  not  re- 
move mine  ''•''integrity  from 
me. 

6  My  ''righteousness  I  hold 
fast,  and  will  not  let  it  go:  my 
'heart  shall  not  reproach  7ne  so 
long  as  I  live. 

7  'Let  mine  enemy  be  as  the 
wicked,  and  he  that  riseth  up 
against  me  as  the  unrighteous. 

8  For  what  is  the  '"'hope  of 
the  ^hypocrite,  though  he  hath 
gained,  when  God  'taketh  away 
his  soul  ? 

9  Will  God  hear  his  "'cry  when 
trouble  Cometh  upon  him  ? 

10  Will  he  delight  himself  in 
the  Almighty  ?  will  he  always 
call  upon  God  ? 

11  I  will  "teach  you  by  the 
hand  of  God :  that  which  is  with 
the  Almighty  will  I  not  conceal. 

12  Behold,  all  ye  yourselves 
have  seen  it;  why  then  are  ye 
thus  altoo-ether  vain  ? 


13  This  is  the  portion  of  a 
"wicked  man  with  God,  and  the 
heritage  of  ^oppressors,  which 
they  shall  receive  of  the  Al- 
mighty. 

14  If  his  children  be  multi- 
plied, "it  is  for  the  sword:  and 
his  offspring  shall  not  be  satis- 
fied with  bread. 

15  Those  that  remain  of  him 
"shall  be  buried  in  death:  and 
his  widows  shall  not  weep. 

16  Though  he  heap  up  ^silver 
as  the  dust,  and  prepare  ''rai- 
ment as  the  clay; 

17  He  may  prepare  it,  but  "the 
just  shall  put  it  on,  and  the  in- 
nocent shall  divide  the  ^silver. 

IS  He  buildeth  his  house  as  a 
*moth,  and  as  a  'booth  that  the 
keeper  maketh. 

19  The  "rich  man  shall  lie 
down,  but  he  shall  not  be  gath- 
ered: he  openeth  his  eyes,  and 
he  is  not. 

20  "Terrors  take  hold  on  him 
as  waters,  a  "tempest  stealeth 
him  away  in  the  night. 

21  ^Tlie  east  '"wind  carrieth 
him  away,  and  he  departeth: 
and  as  a  storm  hurleth  him  out 
of  his  place. 

22  For  God  shall  "cast  upon 
him,  and  not  spare:  he  would 
fain  flee  out  of  his  hand. 

23  "Men  shall  clap  their  hands 
at  him,  and  shall  hiss  him  out 
of  his  place. 

CHAPTER  28 

Job  shows  that  man  may  gain  some  knowl- 
edge of  natural  things:  12  but  that  he  can 
not  understand  the  secret  counsels  of  God. 

SURELY  there  is  a  vein  for 
the  '^silver,  and  a  place  for 
*gold  where  they  fine  it. 

2  ^Iron  is  taken  out  of  the  earth, 
and  *brass  is  ''molten  out  of  the 
stone.

4  -'The  flood  breaketh  out  from 
the  inhabitant;  even  the  ivaters 
forgotten  of  the  foot:  they  are 
dried  up,  they  are  gone  away 
from  men. 

5  As  for  the  earth,  out  of  it 
Cometh  bread:  and  under  it  is 
turned  up  as  it  were  fire. 

6  The  stones  of  it  are  the  place 
of  ^sapphires:  and  it  hath  dust 
of  "gold. 

7  ^TJiere  is  a  path  which  no 
fowl  knoweth,  and  which  the 
vulture's  eye  hath  not  seen : 

8  The  ^' ^lion's  whelps  have  not 
trodden  it,  nor  the  fierce  lion 
passed  by  it. 

9  He  putteth  forth  his  hand 
upon  the  rock;  he  overturneth 
the  ^mountains  by  die  roots. 

10  He  cutteth  out  rivers  among 
the  rocks;  and  his  eye  seeth 
every  precious  thing 

]  1  He  bindeth  the  floods  from 
overflowing;  and  the  thing  that 
i.s  hid  bringeth  he  forth  to 
light. 

12  But  where  shall  ''wisdom  be 
found?  and  where  is  the  place 
of  understanding? 

13  Man  knoweth  not  the  price 
thereof;  neither  is  "it  found  in 
the  land  of  the  living. 

14  The  dei)th  saith,  ''It  is  not 
in  me:  and  the  sea  saith,  It  is  not 
with  me. 

15  ''It  cannot  be  gotten  for 
"gold,  neither  shall  "-^silver  be 
weighed  for  the  price  thereof. 

16  "It  cannot  be  valued  with 
the  *gold  of  KYphn;  with  the 
precious  'onyx,  or  the  ^saj)- 
phire. 


17  The  "gtjld  and  the  ''•^crystal 
cannot  ecjual  it:  and  the  ex- 
change of  it  shall  not  he  for 
jewels  of  fine  gold. 

18  No  mention  shall  be  made 
of  'coral,  or  of  ^pearls:  for  the 
price  of  "wisdom  is  above 
'"rubies. 

19  The  "topaz  of  ''E-thi-o'pi-a 
shall  not  equal  it,  neither  shall  it 
he  valued  with  jnire  ''gold. 

20  ^Yhence  then  cometh  "wis- 
dom ?  and  where  is  the  place  of 
understanding? 

21  Seeing  "it  is  hid  from  the 
eyes  of  all  living,  and  kept  close 
from  the  fowls  of  the  air. 

22  Destruction  and  death  say, 
We  have  heard  the  fame  thereof 
with  our  ears. 

23  God  Punderstandeth  the  way 
thereof,  and  he  knoweth  the 
place  thereof. 

24  For  he  "'ooketh  to  die  ends 
of  the  earth,  and  seeth  under  the 
whole  heaven; 

25  To  make  the  weight  for 
the  winds;  and  he  weigheth  the 
waters  by  measure. 

20  When  he  made  a  decree 
for  the  rain,  and  a  way  for 
the  ^lightning  of  the  thunder: 

27  Then  did  he  see  it,  and  de- 
clare it;  he  prepared  it,  yea,  and 
searched  it  out. 

28  And  unto  man  he  said.  Be- 
hold, the  "fear  of  the  Lord,  that

^preserved  me;

'^hght  I  walked  through  darkness; 

4  As  I  was  in  the  klays  of  my 
youth,  when  the  secret  of  God 
was  upon  my  tabernacle; 

5  When  the  Almighty  teas  yet 
with  me,  wJieii  my  '■'children  ivere 
about  me; 

6  '^AVhen  I  washed  my  steps 
with  butter,  and  the  *rock  pour- 
ed me  out  rivers  of  oil; 

7  ''When  I  went  out  to  the  gate 
through  the  city,  when  I  pre- 
pared my  seat  in  the  street ! 

8  The  young  men  saw  me,  and 
hid  themselves:  and  ''the  aged 
arose,  and  stood  up. 

9  ^The  princes  refrained  talk- 
ing, and  laid  their  hand  on  their 
mouth. 

lO^The  nobles  held  their  peace, 
and  their  tongue  cleaved  to  tlie 
roof  of  their  mouth. 

11  When  the  ear  heard  vie, 
then  it  bles.sed  me;  and  when  the 
eye  saw  ine,  it  gave  witness  to 
me: 

12  Because  I  "-''delivered  the 
'poor  that  cried,  and  the  ^father- 
less, and  him  that  had  none  to 
help  him. 

13  The  blessing  of  him  that 
was  ready  to  perish  came  upon 
me:  and  I  ''caused  the  ''widow's 
heart  to  sing  for  joy. 

14  1  put  on  'righteousness,  and 
it  clothed  me:  my  'judgment 
was  as  a  robe  and  a  diadem. 

15  ''I  was  eyes  to  the  blind, 
and  feet  loas  I  to  the  lame. 

1(3  ''I  ^vas  a  father  to  the  'poor: 
and  the  cause  hvhich  I  knew  not 
I  searched  out. 

17  And  I  brake  the  jaws  of  the 
wicked,  and  plucked  the  ^spoil 
out  of  his  teeth. 

18  Then  I  said,  I  shall  die  in 


my  nest,  and  I  shall  multiply  my 
days  as  the  sand. 

19  My  root  was  spread  out  by 
the  waters,  and  the  dew  lay  all 
night  upon  my  branch. 

20  ]My  glory  tvas  fresh  in  me, 
and  my  bo^^'  was  renewed  in  my 
hand. 

21  Unto  me  7nen  gave  ear,  and 
waited,  and  kept  silence  at  my 
counsel. 

22  After  my  words  they  spake 
not  again;  and  my  speech 
dropped  upon  them. 

23  And  they  waited  for  me  as 
for  the  rain;  and  they  opened 
their  mouth  wide  as  for  the  lat- 
ter rain. 

24  If  I  laughed  on  them,  they 
believed  it  not;  and  the  light  of 
my  '"countenance  they  cast  not 
down. 

25  I  chose  out  their  way,  and 
sat  chief,  and  dwelt  as  a  king  in

yea,  I  am  their  byword. 

10  They  abhor  me,  they  flee  far 
from  me,  and  spare  not  to  spit  in 
my  face. 

11  Because  he  hath  loosed  my 
cord,  and  afflicted  me,  they  have 
"also  let  loose  the  bridle  before 
me. 

12  Upon  viy  right  hand  rise  the 
^'outh;  they  push  away  my  feet, 
and  they  raise  up  against  me  the

' ''prevented  me.

CHAPTER  32 

The  speech  of  Ellhu;  he  is  angry  with  Job 
and  his  friends;  6  he  gives  his  reasons  for 
speaking:  11  and  reproves  the  friends  of 
Job  for  not  answering  his  argument.  16 
His  zeal  for  speaking. 


s 


O  these  three  men  ceased  to 
answer  ''Job,  because  he 
was  ''righteous  in  his  own  eyes. 

2  Then  was  kindled  the  '^wratli 
of  ''E-ll'hu  the  son  of  Brir'a- 
chel  the  Bu'zlte,  of  the  kindred 
of  Ram:  against  "Job  was  his 
wrath  kindled,  because  he  ''jus- 
tified himself  rather  than  God. 

3  Also  against  his  three  friends 
was  his  '^wrath  kindled,  because 
they  had  found  no  answer,  and 
ijet  had  condemned  "Job. 

4  Now  '^E-ll'ha  had  ^  ^waited 
till  Job  had  spoken,  because 
they  tvere  ^elder  than  he. 

5  When  '^I^.-h'hu  saw  that  fhrrr 
was  no  answer  in  the  moutli  of 
these  three  men,  then  his  '"wrath 
was  kindled. 


6  And  '^E-li'hu  the  son  of  Bar'- 
a-ch^l  the  Bu'zite  answered  and 
said,  I  am  young,  and  ye  are 
very  old;  wherefore  'I  was 
afraid,  and  ^durst  not  shew  you 
mine  opinion. 

7  I  said,  "Days  should  speak, 
and  multitude  of  years  should 
teach  ''wisdom. 

8  But  there  is  a  Spirit  in  man: 
and  the  *inspiration  of  the  Al- 
mighty giveth  them  understand- 
ing. 

9  Great  men  are  not  always 
wise:  neither  do  the  aged  under- 
stand judgment. 

10  Therefore  I  said.  Hearken 
to  me;  I  also  will  shew  mine 
opinion. 

11  Behold,  I  ''waited  for  your 
words;  I  gave  ear  to  your  •'rea- 
sons, whilst  ye  searched  out 
what  to  say. 

12  Yea,  I  attended  unto  you, 
and,  behold,  there  was  none  of 
you  that  convinced  "Job,  or  that 
answered  his  words: 

13  Lest  ye  should  say.  We  have 
found  out  wisdom:  God  thrust- 
eth  him  down,  not  man. 

14  Now  he  hath  not  directed 
his  ^vords  against  me:  neither 
will  I  answer  him  with  your 
speeches. 

15  They  were  amazed,  they 
answered  no  more:  they  left  off 
speaking. 

16  When  I  had  waited,  (for 
they  spske  not,  but  stood  still, 
and  answered  no  more;) 

17  /  said,  I   will  answer  also

him  for  reflecting  upon  the  justice  of  God: 
12  and  shows  him  the  dcsigri  of  God  in  his 
dealings  ivlth  men:  14  that  God  calls  men 
to  repentance  by  visions,  19  by  afflic- 
tions, 23  and  by  his  ministry. 

WHEREFORE,  '^ Job,  I  pray 
thee,  hear  my  speeches, 
and  hearken  to  all  my  words. 

2  Behold,  now  ''I  have  opened 
my  mouth,  my  tongue  hath 
spoken  in  my  mouth. 

3  My  words  shall  he  oj  the 
'■uprightness  of  my  heart:  and 
hny  lips  shall  utter  knowledge 
clearly. 

4  The  si)irit  of  God  hath  '^made 
''me,  and  the  ^breath  of  the  Al- 
mighty hath  given  me  life. 

5  If  thou  canst  answer  me,  set 
thy  ivords  in  order  before  me, 
stand  up. 

6  Behold,  I  am  ^according  to 
thy  wish  in  God's  stead:  I  also 
am  formed  out  of  the  *'''clay. 

7  Behold,  my  terror  shall  not 
make  thee  afraid,  neither  shall 
my  hand  be  heavy  upon  thee. 

8  Surely  thou  hast  spoken  in 


mine  hearing,  and  I  have  heard 
the  voice  of  thy  words,  ''saying, 

9  ''•'I  am  clean  witliout  tran.s- 
gression,  I  am  innocent;  neither 
is  there  iniquity  in  me. 

10  ''Behold,  he  findeth  occa- 
sions against  me,  he  counteth  me 
for  his  enemy, 

11  ''He  'putteth  my  feet  in 
the  ^stocks,  he  marketh  all  my 
paths. 

12  Behold,  in  this  thou  art  not 
just:  I  will  answer  thee,  that 
'(jod  is  greater  than  man. 

13  'Why  dost  thou  ''strive 
against  him?  for  '"'"he  giveth  not 
account  of  any  of  his  matters. 

14  For  God  speaketh  "once, 
yea  "twice,  yet  ^man  perceiv- 
eth  it  not. 

15  In  a  ^dream,  in  a  vision  of 
the  night,  when  deep  sleep  fall- 
eth  upon  men,  in  slumberings 
upon  the  bed; 

16  Then  he  ''openeth  the  ears 
of  men,  and  sealeth  their  in- 
struction, 

17  That  he  may  withdraw  man 
jrom  his  purpose,  and  hide  pride 
from  man. 

18  He  ^keepeth  back  his  soul 
from  the  pit,  and  his  life  from 
perishing  by  the  sword. 

19  He  is  ^chastened  also  with 
'•"pain  upon  his  bed,  and  ^the 
multitude  of  his  bones  with 
strong  pain: 

20  So  that  his  life  abhorretli 
bread,  and  his  soul  dainty  ^meat. 

21  His  flesh  is  consumed  away, 
that  it  cannot  be  seen;  and  his 
bones  that  were  not  seen  stick 
out. 

22  Yea,  his  soul  draweth  near 
unto  the  grave,  and  his  life  to  the 
destroyers.

CHAPTER  34 

Ellhu  addresses  the  friends  of  .Job:  calls 
their  attention  to  what  job  had  mtereil: 
10  and  shows  tliat  God  can  not  he  charged 
with  injustice.      34  He  reproves  Job. 

FURTHERMORE    "P.-lT'hu 
answered  and  said, 

2  Hear  my  words,  O  ye  wise 
men;  and  give  ear  unto  me,  ye 
that  have  knowledge. 

3  For  the  ear  trieth  words,  as 
the  'mouth  tasteth  meat. 

4  Tyct  us  c-hoose  ^to  us  judg- 
ment: let  us  know  among  our- 
selves what  is  good. 

5  For  ''Job  hath  ''said,  I  am 


righteous:  and  God  hath  taken 
away  my  ^judgment. 

6  ^Should  I  lie  against  my 
right  ?  my  wound  is  incurable 
^without  transgression. 

7  ^^'hat  man  is  like  *J6b, 
ivho  drinketh  up  '^scorning  like 
water  ? 

8  Which  goeth  in  company  with 
the  workers  of  iniquity,  and 
walketh  with  wicked  men. 

9  For  he  hath  said.  It  profiteth 
a  man  nothing  that  he  should 
delight  himself  with  God. 

10  llierefore  hearken  unto  me, 
ye  men  of  understanding:  far  be 
it  from  God,  Hhat  he  should  do 
wickedness;  and  from  the  Al- 
mighty, ''that  he  should  commit 
iniquity. 

11  For  the  work  of  a  man  shall 
'he  render  unto  him,  and  ^cause 
everv  man  to  find  according  to 
his  ways. 

12  Yea,  surely  '^God  will  not  do 
wickedly,  ''neither  will  the  Al- 
mighty pervert  judgment. 

13  Who  hath  given  'him  a 
charge  over  the  earth  ?  or  who 
hath  disposed  the  whole  world  ? 

14  If  he  set  his  heart  upon  man, 
if  he  •'gather  unto  himself  his 
spirit  and  his  breath; 

15  All  flesh  shall  ■'perish  to- 
getlier,  and  man  shall  turn  again 
unto  dust. 

IG  If  now  thou  hast  understand- 
ing, hear  this:  hearken  to  the 
voice  of  my  words. 

17  Shall  even  he  that  hateth 
right  govern  ?  and  wilt  thou  con- 
demn him  that  is  ''most  just? 

18  ''Is  it  fit  to  say  to  a  ^king, 
Thou  art  "wicked  ?  a7ul  to 
j)rinces,  Ye  are  ungodly  ? 

19  How  much,  less  to  '"'•'"him 
that  "accepteth  not  the  persons 
of  princes,  nor  regardeth  the 
rich  more  than  the  ^poo'-?  for

the  mighty  shall  be  taken  away 
without  hand. 

21  For  *his  'eyes  a7-e  upon  the 
"ways  of  man,  and  he  seeth  all 
his  goings. 

22  ^ There  is  no  darkness,  nor 
shadow  of  death,  where  the 
workers  of  iniquity  may  hide 
themselves. 

23  For  he^will  not  lay  upon  man 
more  than  right;  that  he  should 
enter  into  judgment  with  God. 

24  "He  shall  break  in  pieces 
mighty  men  ^without  number, 
and  set  others  in  their  stead. 

25  Therefore  he  ^knoweth  their 
works,  and  he  -^overturneth  them 
in  the  night,  so  that  they  are  de- 
stroyed. 

26  He  striketh  them  as  wicked 
men  in  the  open  sight  of  others; 

27  Because  they  ^turned  back 
from  him,  and  would  not  con- 
sider any  of  his  ways: 

28  So  that  they  cause  the  cry  of 
the  poor  to  come  unto  him,  and 
^he  heareth  the  cry  of  the  *af- 
flicted. 

29  When  he  giveth  quietness, 
who  then  can  ^make  trouble  ? 
and  when  he  hideth  his  face, 
who  then  can  behold  him  ? 
whether  it  be  done  against  a  na- 
tion, or  against  a  man  only: 

30  That  the  ^"hypocrite  reign 
not,  lest  the  people  be  ensnared. 

31  ^^Surely  it  is  meet  to  be  said 
unto  God,  "I  have  borne  ^•'^chas- 
tisevient,  '^l  will  not  offend  a7i7j 
more: 

32  ^That  which  I  see  not  teach 
thou  me:  if  I  have  done  iniquity, 
I  will  do  no  more. 

33  ^"^Should  it  he  according  to 
thy  mind  ?  he  will  recompense  it, 
whether  thou  refuse,  or  whether 
thou  choose;  and  not  I:  there- 
fore speak  what  thou  knowest. 


34  Let  men  of  understanding 
tell  me,  and  let  a  wise  man 
hearken  unto  me. 

35  Mob  hath  spoken  without 
knowledge,  and  his  words  were 
without  wisdom. 

36  My  desire  is  that  Job  may 
be  tried  unto  the  end  because  of 
his  answers  for  wicked  men. 

37  For  he  addeth  rebellion  unto 
his  sin,  he  clappeth  his  hands 
among  us,  and  "multiplieth  his 
words  against  God. 

CHAPTER  35 

EWiu  rebukes  Job  Jor  self  righteousness :  4 
and  shows  that  God  can  not  be  a/fcclcd  by 
man's  acts.  9  The  cry  o]  the  oppressed 
is  not  heard  for  their  want  of  faith. 


"T?-LI'HU  spake  moreover,  and 
-Ci     said, 

2  Thinkest  thou  this  to  be  right, 
that  thou  saidst,  "My  righteous- 
ness is  more  than  God's  ? 

3  For  thou  ''saidst.  What  ad- 
vantage will  it  be  unto  thee  ? 
and,  What  profit  shall  I  have,  'i/ 
/  he  cleansed  from  my  sin  ? 

4  I  will  answer  thee,  and  thy 
companions  with  thee. 

5  Look  unto  the  heavens,  and 
see;  and  behold  the  clouds 
which  are  higher  than  ''thou. 

6  If  thou  sinnest,  what  ^doest 
thou  against  him  ?  or  if  thy  tra  ns- 
gressions  be  multiplied,  what 
floest  thou  unto  him  ? 

7  If  thou  be  righteous,  what 
givest  thou  him  ?  or  what  receiv- 
eth  he  of  tiiine  hand  ? 

8  Thy  wickedness  may  hurt  a 
man  as  thou  art;  and  thy  right- 
eousness maij  profit  the  son  of 
man. 

9  By  reason  of  the  multitude  of 
'^oppressions  they  make  the  op- 
pressed to  cry:  they  cry  out  by 
reason  of  the  arm  of  the  mighty. 

10  But  'none  saith,  Where  is

13  Surely  God  will  not  hear 
vanity,  neither  will  the  Al- 
mig'hty  regard  it. 

14  ^Although  thou  sayest  thou 
shalt  not  see  him,  tjeA  judgment 
is  before  him;  therefore  trust 
thou  in  him. 

15  But  now,  because  ^it  is  not 
so,  he  hath  visited  in  his  '"anger; 
yet  he  knoweth  it  not  in  great 
extremity: 

16  Therefore  doth  "Job  open 
his  mouth  in  ^vain;  he  multij)li- 
eth  words  without  knowledge. 

CHAP^FER  36 

Eliltu  shows  that  God  is  just  in  all  his  ways: 
15  that  he  deals  gently  with  the  humble; 
and  that  .Job's  sins  prevented  his  dealing 
thus  with  him:  i&  and  exhorts  him  to  re- 
pentance.    26  God's  infinile  power. 

E-LI'HU  also  proceeded,  and 
said, 

2  Suffer  me  a  little,  and  I  will 
shew  thee  that  I  have  yet  to 
*speak  on  ''God's  behalf. 

3  I  will  fetch  my  knowledge 
from  afar,  and  will  ascribe 
''righteousness  to  my  Maker. 

4  For  truly  my  words  shall  not 
he  false:  ''he  that  is  perfect  in 
'knowledge  is  with  thee. 

5  Behold,  ''GckI  ?.s*  ''mighty,  and 
'Me.ipiseth  imt  ainj:  lie  i.s  mighty 
in  strength  aud  ''wisdom. 

6  '^He  preserveth  not  the  life  of

eyes  from  the  righteous:  but  with 
kings  are  ihet/  on  the  throne;  yea, 
he  doth  estai)]ish  them  foi  ever, 
and  they  are  exalted. 

8  And  if  they  be  '"bound  in  fet- 
ters, and  be  holden  in  cords  of 
affliction; 

9  '"Then  ^lie  sheweth  them

10  ''He  "'openeth  also  their  ear 
to  -discipline,  and  commandeth 
that  they  "return  fnMii  iniquity. 

11  "If  they  ^obey  and  serve 
hint,  '-'they  shall  spend  their 
days  in  prosperity,  and  their 
years  in  pleasures. 

12  But  if  they  '^obey  not,  nhey 
shall  'perish  by  the  sword,  and 
they  shall  die  without  knowl- 
edge. 

13  But  '^the  "hypocrites  in 
heart  heap  up  wrath:  they  cry 
'not  when  he  bindeth  them, 

14  "They  die  in  youth,  and 
their  life  is  among  the  unclean. 

15  'He  '"^delivereth  the  ^'^poor 
in  his  affliction,  and  openeth 
their  ears  in  oppression. 

16  Even  so  would  '"he  have  re- 
moved thee  out  of  the  strait  ittto 
a  broad  place,  where  there  is  no 
straitness;  and  that  which  should 
be  set  on  thy  table  shmdd  he  full 
of  fatness. 

17  But  thou  hast  fulfilled  the 
judgment  of  the  wicked:  judg- 
ment and  justice  take  hold  on 
thee. 

18  "Because  there  is  wrath,  he- 
ivare  lest  he  take  thee  away  with 
his  stroke:  then  a  great  '"ransom

thereof:

concerning  ^^it,  the  cattle  also 
concerning  the  ^H'apour. 

CHAPTER  37 

Elthu  speaks  of  the  power  and  incompre- 
hensible wisdom  of  God  as  seen  in  his 
works;  23  and  urges  men  to  fear  him. 

AT  this  also  "my  heart  trem- 
bleth,  and  is   moved   out 
of  his  place. 

2  ''Hear  attentively  the  noise 
of  his  voice,  and  the  sound  that 
goeth  out  of  his  mouth. 

3  ''He  directeth  it  under  the 
whole  heaven,  and  his  '"lightning 
unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

4  After  it  a  voice  roareth:  he 
thundereth  with  the  voice  of  his 
^' '^excellency;  and  he  will  not 
stay  them  when  his  voice  is 
heard. 

5  ''God    thundereth    marvel- 


lously with  his  voice;  "^great 
things  doeth  he,  ''which  we  can- 
not comprehend. 

6  For  "'"he  saith  to  the 
''•'•^snow.  Be  thou  oji  the  earth; 
likewise  to  the  smalP  ■ '^rain,  and 
to  the  great  rain  of  his  strength. 

7  "He  sealeth  up  the  hand  of 
every  man;  that  all  men  'may 
know  his  work. 

8  Then  the  'beasts  go  into  dens, 
and  remain  in  their  places. 

9  Out  of  the  ^south  cometh  the 
'"whirlwind:  and  cold  out  of  the 
north. 

10  By  the  "breath  of  God  frost 
is  given:  and  the  breadth  of  the 
waters  is  straitened. 

1 1  Also  by  watering  he  wearieth 
the  thick  cloud :  he  scattereth  his 
bright  cloud: 

12  And  it  is  turned  round  about 
by  his  counsels:  that  they  may 
do  whatsoever  he  commandeth 
them  upon  the  face  of  the  world 
in  the  earth. 

13  "He  causeth  it  to  come,

23  Which  I  have  "reserved 
against  the  time  of  trouble, 
against  the  day  of  battle  and 
war  ? 

24  By  what  way  is  the  light 
parted,  hvhich  scattereth  the 
east  'wind  upon  the  earth  ? 

25  Who  "hath  divided  a  water- 
course for  the  overflowing  of 
waters,  or  a  way  for  the  '■'^'light- 
ning  of  thunder; 

26  To  cause  it  to  '■"'rani  on  the 
earth,  where  no  man  is;  mi  the 
wilderness,  wherein  there  is  no 
man ; 

27  To  satisfy  the  desolate  and 
waste  ground;  and  to  cause  the 
^bud  of  the  tender  herb  to  spring 
forth  ? 

28  Hath  the  rain  a  father  ?  orwho 
hath  begotten  the  drops  of  dew  ? 

29  Out  of  whose  womb  came 
the  -^ice  ?  ami  the  hoary  fi'ost  of 
heaven,  who  hath  gendered  it  ? 

30  The  waters  are  hid  as  ivith 
a  stone,  and  the  fa  je  of  the  deep 
is  frozen. 

31  ^Canst  thou  bind  the  '^sweet

the  bands  of  ^O-rl'on  ? 

32  Canst  thou  bring  forth 
"JNIaz'za-rdth  in  his  season  ?  or 
canst  thou  guide  ^'"Arc-tu'rus 
with  his  sons  ? 

33  Knowest  thou  the  ordinan-

dominion  tliereof  in  i\\G  ''earth? 

34  Canst  tliou  lift  uj)  thy  voice 
to  the  clouds,  that  abundance  of 
waters  may  cover  thee  ? 

35  Canst  thou  send  '^•'"light- 
nings,  that  they  may  go,  and  say 
unto  thee.  Here  we  are  ? 

36  Who  hath  put  ''wisdom  in  the 
inward  parts  ?  or  wlio  hath  given 
understanding  to  tlie  heart  ? 

37  Who  can  number  the  clouds 
in  wisdom  ?  or  who  can  stay  the 
bottles  of  heaven, 


38  When  the  dust  groweth  into 
hardness,  and  the  clods  cleave 
fast  together  ? 

39  "Wilt  thou  hunt  the  prey  for 
the  lion  ?  or  fill  the  appetite  of 
the  young  lions, 

40  When  they  couch  in  tlteir

CHAPTER  39 

God's  power  and  providence  illustrated  in 
the  Wild  goats  and  Iiinds:  5  in  the  tritd  ass; 
9  In  the  unicorn:  13  in  the  peacock,  stork, 
arid  ostrich;  19  in  tlie  horse;  26  in  thr 
hawk;  27  inid  in  the  eagle. 

KNOWEST  thou  the  time 
when  the  wild  "goats  of 
the  rock  bring  forth  ?  or  canst 
thou  mark  when  the  hinds  do 
calve  ? 

2  "Canst  thou  number  the 
months  tliat  they  fulfil  ?  or  know- 
est thou  the  time  when  they 
bring  forth  ? 

3  They  bow  themselves,  they 
bring  forth  their  young  ones, 
they  cast  out  their  sorrows. 

4  Their  young  ones  are  in  good 
liking,  they  grow  up  Svith  corn; 
tliey  go  forth,  and  return  not 
unto  them. 

5  ''Who  hath  sent  out  the  wild 
'"ass  free  ?  or  who  hath  loosed  the 
Ijands  of  the  wild  ass  ? 

6  Whose  house  I  have  made  the 
wilderness,  and  the  -barren  land 
his  dwellings. 

7  He  scorneth  the  multitude  of 
the  city,  neither  regardeth  lie  the 
crying  of  the  driver. 

8  "The  range  of  the  mountains 
?'.s'  his  jxasture,  and  he  "searcheth 
after  every  green  thing. 

9  Will  the  ^■*unicorn  be  willing 
to  serve  thee,  or  abide  by  thy

23  The  flakes  of  his  flesh  are 
joined  together:  they  are  firm 
in  themselves;  they  cannot  be 
moved. 

24  His  heart  is  as  firm  as  a 
stone;  yea,  as  hard  as  a  piece  of 
the  nether  hnillstone. 

25  When  he  raiseth  up  him- 
self, the  mighty  are  afraid:  by 
reason  of  '■'breakings  they  purify 
themselves. 

2G  The  'sword  of  him  that  lay- 
eth  at  him  cannot  hold:  the 
^spear,  the  Mart,  nor  the  '"ha- 
bergeon. 

27  He  esteemeth  '"iron  as  straw, 
and  "brass  as  rotten  wood. 

28  The  "arrow  cannot  make 
him  f]ee:  slingstones  are  turned 
with  him  into  stubble. 

29  "Darts  are  counted  as  stub- 
bk;:  he  laugheth  at  the  shaking 
of  a  '\spear. 

30  '"Sharp  stones  are  under 
him:  he  spreadeth  sharp  pointed 
things  upon  the  mire. 

31  He  maketh  the  deep  to  boil 
like  a  pot:  he  maketh  the  sea  like 
a  pot  of  ointment. 

32  He  maketh  a  path  to  shine 
after  him;  one  would  think  the 
deep  to  be  hoary. 


33  Upon  earth  there  is  not  his 
like,  who  is  made  without  fear. 

34  lie  beholdeth  all  high 
things:  he  is  a  king  over  till  the 
children  of  jjride.

THEN    "Job    answered    the 
Lord,  and  said, 

2  I  "know  that  thou  canst  Mo 
every  thing,  and  that  no  'thought 
can  be  withholden  from  thee. 

3  Who  is  he  that  liidetli  counsel 
without  knowledge  ?  therefore 
have  I  uttered  that  1  understood 
not;  things  too  wonderful  forme, 
which  I  knew  not. 

4  Hear,  I  beseech  thee,  and  I 
will  speak:  I  ^\  ill  demand  of 
thee,  and  declare  thou  unto  me. 

5  I  have  heard  of  thee  by  the 
hearing    of    the    ear:  but   now

7  ^  And  it  was  so,  that  after  the 
Lord  had  s])oken  these  words 
unto  "Job,  the  IvORD  said  to 
'f^l'i-phaz  the  Te'man-Ite,  My 
*wrath  is  kindled  against  thee, 
and  against  thy  two  friends:  for 
ye  have  not  spoken  of  me  the 
thing  that  is  right,  as  my  servant 
Job  liatJi. 

8  Therefore  take  unto  you  now 
seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams, 
and  go  to  my  servant  "Job,  and 
offer  up  for  ycjurselves  a  'burnt

Lord  commanded    them:    the 
Lord  also  accepted  °Job. 

10  And  the  ''Lord  turned  the 
captivity  of  "Job,  when  he 
'"prayed  "for  his  friends:  also 
the  Lord  ''gave  Job  twice  as 
much  as  he  had  before. 

11  Then  came  there  unto  him 
all  his  brethren,  and  all  his  sis- 
ters, and  all  they  that  had  been 
of  his  acquaintance  before,  and 
did  eat  bread  with  him  in  his 
house:  and  ^they  bemoaned  him, 
and  comforted  him  over  all 
the  'evil  that  the  Lord  had 
brought  upon  him:  every  man 
also  gave  him  a  "piece  of  money, 
and  every  one  ^an  earring  of 
gold. 

12  So  the  I>0RD  'blessed  the 
latter  end  of  "Job  more  than  his 
befirinninff:  for  '^he  had  fourteen 


thousand  sheep,  and  six  thou- 
sand camels,  and  a  thousand 
yoke  of  oxen,  and  a  thousand 
she  asses. 

13  He  had  also  seven  sons  and 
three  daughters. 

14  And  he  called  the  name  of 
the  first,  Je-mi'ma;  and  the 
name  of  the  second,  Ke-zi'a; 
and  the  name  of  the  third, 
Kcr'cn-hap'puch. 

15  And  in  all  the  land  Avere  no 
women  found  so  fair  as  the 
daughters  of  Job:  and  their 
father  gave  "them  "inheritance 
among  their  brethren. 

16  After  this  lived  "Job  ^an 
hundred  and  forty  years,  and  saw 
his  sons,  and  his  sons'  sons,  even 
four  generations. 

17  So  "Job  died,  being  ^old  and 
full  of  days.

*PSALM  1 

The  blessedness   of   the   Tlghtcous.     4    The 
misery  of  the  ungodlu. 

"•^'DLESSED  is  the  ^man  that 
JJ  "^walketh  not  in  the^coun- 
sel  of  the  'ungodly,  nor  standeth 
in  the  way  of  sinners,  nor  sitteth 
in  the  seat  of  the  "scornful. 

2  Bu.  ''•''his  delight  is  in  the 
'law  of  the  Lord;  and  in  his 
law  doth  he  ^meditate  '^day  and 
'night. 

3  And  °-'he  shall  he  like  a  '"tree 
planted  by  the  rivers  of  water, 
that  bringeth  forth  his  "fruit  in 
his  season;  his  leaf  also  shall  not 
wither;  and  whatsoever  he  doeth 
shall  "prosper. 

4  The  ^ungodly  are  not  so :  but 
are  like  the  'chaff  which  the 
'wind  driveth  away. 

5  Therefore  the  ^ungodly  shall 
not  stand  in  the  judgment,  nor 
sinners  in  the  'congregation  of 
the  righteous. 

G  For  the  Lord  "knoweth  the 
"way  of  the  righteous:  but  the 
way  of  the  'ungodly  shall  perish. 

PSALM  2 

The  kingdom  of  the  Messiah.     10    Kings 
exhorted  to  serve  him. 

X  Messianic  Psalm  In  which  the  poet  de- 
scribes the  jealousies  of  the  petty  kings 
of  the  nations  toward  the  king  of  Israel, 
and  unconsciously,  no  doubt,  under  di- 
vine Inspiration  and  In  measures  of  an 
e.xalted, poetic  Imagination,  describes  the 
sovcrclernty  of  the  Messiah  and  his  uni- 
versal kingdom  of  righteousness. 

"TI/'HY  do  the  '•  ''heathen  rage, 
'  T       and  the  people  imagine 
a  vain  thing  ? 


2  ''•''The  *kings  of  the  earth  set 
themselves,  and  the  rulers  take 
^counsel  together,  against  the 
Lord,  and  against  his  anointed, 
saying, 

3  Let  us  break  their  bands 
asunder,  and  cast  away  their 
cords  from  us. 

4  Pie  that  sitteth  in  the  "heav- 
ens shall  ''laugh :  the  Lord  shall 
have  them  in  'derision. 

5  '^Cli^n  shall  he  speak  unto 
'them  in  his  '^wrath,  and  ve.x 
them  in  his  sore  displeasure. 

6  Yet  have  I  set  my  king  upon 
my  holy  hill  of  Zi^on. 

7  ^  will  declare  the  decree :  the 
I/ORD  hath  said  unto  me, 
'•'"•"Thou  art  my  'Son;  this  day 
have  I  begotten  thee. 

8  Ask  of  me,  and  "I  shall  give 
^■'^thce  the  ^-'heathen  /or  thine 
inheritance,  and  the  uttermost 
parts  of  the  earth  for  thy  pos- 
session. 

9  ^Tliou  shalt  l^reak  them  with 
a  rod  of  'iron;  thou  shalt  dash 
them  in  pieces  like  a  ''potter's

10  Be  "wise  now  therefore,  O  ye

"T  ORD,    how    are  dhey    in- 
-L^     creased  that  ''trouble  me! 
many    are    they    that    rise    up 
against  me. 

2  Many  there  oe  ..which  say  of

him  in   God.  [Se'Iah. 

3  But  ''thou,  O  Lord,  art  a 
*■ 'shield  for  me;  iny  glory,  and 
the  lifter  up  of  mine  head. 

4  I  cried  unto  the  Lord 'with 
my  voice,  and  he  %eard  me  out 
of' his  holy  hill.  [Se'lah. 

5  I  laid  me  down  and  ''slept;  I 
awaked;  for  the  Lord  '^sus- 
tained me. 

6  'I  will  not  be  afraid  of  ten 
thousands  of  people,  that  have 
set  themselves  against  me  round 
about. 

7  Arise,  O  Lord;  save  me,  O 
my  God:  for  thou  hast  smitten 
all  mine  enemies  itpcm  the  cheek 
bone;  thou  hast  broken  the  teeth 
of  the  ^ungodly. 

8  'Salvation  belnngeth  unto  the 
'Lord:  thy  blessing  is  upon  thy 
people.  [Se'lah. 

PSALM  4 

The  psalmist  prays  to  be  heard.  2  He  re- 
proves his  enemies,  4  and  exhorts  tliem  to 
obedience.  6  Man's  happiness  is  in 
Sod's  facor. 

To  the  chief  Musician  on  "Neglnoth, 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

HEAR  me  when  I  "call,  O 
God  of  my  righteousness : 
thou  hast  enlarged  me  ivJien  I 
teas  in  distress;  have  mercy  upon 
me,  and  hear  my  prayer. 

2  O  ye  sons  of  men,  how  long 
will  ye  turn  my  glory  into 
shame  ?  how  long  will  ye  love 
•"vanity,  and  seek  after  'leas-

6  There  be  many  that  say,  "Who 
will  shew  us  a?ii/  good  ?  Lord,

To  the  cliief  Musician  upon  "Nelilloth, 
A  Psalm  of  David 

^r\  IVE  ear  to  ^my  words,  O 
VJ      Lord,  consider  my  medi- 
tation. 

2  Hearken  unto  the  voice  of  my 
cry,  my  King,  and  my  God:  for 
unto  thee  will  I  "pray. 

3  My  "voice  shalt  thou  hear  in 
the  morning,  O  Lord;  in  the 
morning  will  I  direct  my  prayer 
unto  thee,  and  will  look  up. 

4  For  thou  art  not  a  God  that 
hath  pleasure  in  ^wickedness: 
neither  shall  evil  dwell  with  thee. 

5  The  '-'foolish  shall  not  stand 
in  thy  sight:  thou  "hatest  all 
''workers  of  iniquity. 

6  Thou  shalt  destroy  'them  that 
speak  ^'leasing:  the  Lord  will 
a\A-\OT  the  bloody  and  'deceitful 
man. 

7  But  as  for  me,  I  will  come  in- 
to thy  house  in  the  multitude  of 
thy  mercy:  and  in  thy  ^'fear  will  I 

worship  toward  thy'"holy  temple.

PSALM  9 

The  psalmist  praises  God  for  maintaining 
his  cause.     7  His  trust  in  God,   1.3  and 

prayer  for  help.     15    'I'lie  destruction  of 
the  wicked. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  "Muth-labben, 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

T  WILL  "•'■praise  thee,  O  Lord, 
J-  with  my  whole  '^heart;  I  will 
shew  forth  all  thy  marvellous 
works. 

2  I  will  be  '^glad  and  rejoice  in 
thee:  I  will  sing  'Upraise  to  thy 
name,  O  thou  most  High. 

3  When  mine  enemies  are 
turned  back,  they  shall  fall  and 
perish  at  thy  presence. 

4  For  thou  hast  maintained  my 
right  and  my  cause;  thou  satest 
in  the  ''throne  '^judging  right. 

5  Thou  hast  rel)uked  the  'hea- 
then, thou  hast  ''destroyed  the 
'wicked,  thou  hast  put  out  their 
name  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  "0  thou  enemy,  destructions 
are  come  to  a  perpetual  end :  and 
thou  hast  ''destrojed  cities;  their 
memorial  is  perished  with  them. 

7  But  the  Lord  Ishall  'endure 
for  ever:  he  hath  prepared  his 
''throne  for  judgment. 

8  And  he  sh.dl  'judge  the  world 
in  ^righteousness,  he  shall  min- 
ister judgment  to  the  people  in 
uprightness. 

9  The  'Lord  also  will  be  a 
^refuge  for  the  '"oppressed,  a 
^•''refuge  in  times  of  trouble. 

10  And  they  tliat  know  thy 
name  will  put  their  "trust  in 
thee:  for  thou.  Lord,  ^hast  not 
forsaken  them  that  'seek  thee. 

11  Sing  'Upraises  to  the  Lord, 
which   dwelleth   in    '■Zl'on:   Me- 


clare  among  the  people  his  do- 
ings. 

12  When  he  maketh  inquisition 
for  'blood,  he  remembereth 
them:  ''he  lorgetteth  not  the  cry 
of  the  ^-"humble. 

1.3  Have  "mercy  upon  me,  O 
Lord;  consider  my  ^trouble 
which  I  suffer  of  them  that  hate 
me,  thou  that  'liftest  me  up  from 
the  Agates  of  ^death : 

14  That  I  may  shew  forth  all 
thy  praise  in  the  gates  of  the 
daughter  of  ''Zl'on:  I  will  rejoice 
in  thy  ^salvation. 

15  The  Uieathcn  ^are  sunk 
down  in  the  "pit  that  they  made: 
in  the  ''net  which  they  hid  is 
their  own  foot  taken. 

16  "The  Lord  is  known  by  the 
''judgment  which  he  executeth: 
the  wicked  '^is  snared  in  the  work 
of  his  own  hands. 

["Hig-ga'ion.     Se'lah. 

17  The  %icked  shall  '^be  turned 
into  %ell,  and  all  the  ^nations 
that  'forget  God. 

18  For  'the  ^needy  shall  not  al- 
way  be  forgotten:  'the  'expecta- 
tion of  the  poor  shall  not  perish 
for  ever. 

19  Arise,  O  Lord;  let  not  man 
prevail:  let  the  'heathen  be 
judged  in  thy  sight. 

20  Put  them  in  fear,  O  Lord: 
that  the  nations  may  know  them- 
selves to  be  but  men.  [Se'lah. 

PSALM  10 


The  psalmist  complains  to  God  of  the  out- 
rage of  the  wicked.  12  His  prayer  for 
help,  16  and  his  confidence  in  God. 

WHY  standest  thou  afar  off, 
O    Lord?    tvhij  hidest 
thou  thyself  in  times  of  "trouble  ? 

2  The  wicked  in  his  "pride  doth 
persecute  the  '"poor:  let  tliem  ''be 
taken  in  the  devices  that  they 
liave  imagined. 

3  For  the  wicked  ^-'boasteth  of 
his  heart's  desire,  'and  bles.seth 
the  ''covetous,  whom  the  Lord 
abhorreth.

PSALM  12 

The  psalmist  craves  help  of  God.  3  He  is 
confident  that  God  will  punish  the  wicked, 
and  protect  the  righteous. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  «Sheminith, 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

HELP,  Lord;  for  "the  godly 
man  ceaseth;  for  the  '^faith- 
ful fail  from  among  the  chil- 
dren of  men. 

2  They  speak  ''vanity  every  one 
with  his  neighbour:  'loifh  '^•■'flat- 
tering lips  and  with  a  doubh; 
^heart  do  they  speak. 

3  The  Lord  shall  cut  off  all 
'■■■'flattering  lips,  and  the  tongue 
that  '''■'speaketh  proud  things: 

4  Who  have  said,  *  AVith  our 
tongue  will  we  prevail;  our  lips 
are  our  own :  who  is  lord  over 
us? 

5  For  the  ^''oppression  of  the 
poor,  for  the  sighing  of  the 
needy,  now  will  I  arise,  saith  the 
Lord;  "'I  will  set  ^'him  in  safety 
^from  him  tJiaf  jiuffeth  at  him. 

6  The  "words  of  the  Lord  are 
''pure  words:  as  silver  tried  in  a 


^furnace  of  earth,  purified  seven 
times. 

7  Thou  shalt  '"keep  them,  O 
Lord,  thou  shalt  preserve  them 
from  this  generation  for  ever.

side,  ^vvhen  the  vilest  men  are 
exalted.

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

"TTOW  long   wilt  thou  forget 
-LJ-     me,  ()  Lord?  for  ever? 
how  long  wilt  thou  hide  thy  face 
from  me  ? 

2  "How  long  shall  I  take  coun- 
sel in  my  soul,  having  sorrow  in 
my  heart  daily  ?  how  long  shall 
mine  enemy  be  exalted  over  me  ? 

3  "Consider  and  hear  me,  O 
Lord  my  God:  lighten  mine 
eyes,  ''lest  I  sleep  the  sleep  of 
'^death ; 

4  Lest  mine  enemy  say,  I  have 
prevailed  against  him;  and.  those 
that  trouble  me  rejoice  when  I 
am  moved. 

5  But  I  have  ''trusted  in  tliy 
*mercy;  my  heart  shall  ''rejoice 
in  thy  ''salvation.

PSALM  18 

The  psalmtst  praises  God  [or  his  wonderful 
deliverances. 

To  the  chief  Mu.slclnii,  A  Psalm  of  David, 
the  servant  of  the  Lord,  who  spaUe  unto 
the  Lord  the  vi'ords  of  this  sony  In  the 
day  lliat  the  Lord  delivered  him  from 
the  hand  of  all  his  enemies,  and  from 
the  hand  of  Saul:    And  he  said, 

T  WILL  "love  thee,  O  Lord, 
A     my  strength. 

2  ''The  Lord  is  my  ''rock,  and 
my  fortress,  and  my  ''deliverer; 
my  God,  my  strength,  in  whom 
I  will  ^trust;  my  ^buckler,  and 
the  horn  of  my  ''salvation,  and 
my  high  ''tower. 

3  I  will  *call  upon  the  Lord, 
''who  is  worthy  to  be  'praised:  so 
shall  I  be  saved  from  mine  ene- 
mies. 

4  The  ^'sorrows  of  death  com- 
passed me,  and  the  floods  of  un- 
godly men  made  me  afraid. 

5  The  'sorrows  of  'hell  com- 
passed me  about:  the  snares  of 
death  prevented  me. 

6  Li  my  distress  I  called  upon 
the  Lord,  and  cried  unto  my 
(Jod:  he  '"heanl  my  voice  out  of 
his  temple,  and  my  cry  came  be- 
fore hiin,  even  into  his  ears. 

7  Then  the  earth  "shook  and 
trembled;  the  foundations  also 
of  the  'hills  moved  and  were 
shaken,  because  he  was  "wroth. 

8  There  went  up  a  smoke  out 
of  his  nostrils,  and  fire  out  of 
his  moutli  devoured:  coals  were 
kindled  by  it. 

9  lie  bowed  the  heavens  also, 
and  came  down:  and  ''darkness 
was  under  his  feet. 

10  And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub, 
and  did  fly:  yea,  he  did  fly  upon 
the  wings  of  the  wind.

11  ^■''He  made  ^'Markness  his 
secret  place;  his  pavilion  round 
about  him  were  dark  waters  ami 
t.'iick  clouds  of  the  skies. 

1?  i^.t  the  brightness  that  wa.v 
before  him  his  thick  clouds 
passed,  hail  stones  and  coals  of 
fire. 

13  The  Lord  also  thundered 
in  the  heavens,  and  the  Highest 
gave  his  voice;  hail  stones  and 
coals  of  fire. 

14  Yea,  he  sent  out  his  'arrows, 
and  scattered  them;  and  he  shot 
out  "lightnings,  and  discomfited 
them. 

15  Then  'the  channels  of  wa- 
ters were  seen,  and  the  founda- 
tions of  the  world  were  discov- 
ered at  thy  rebuke,  O  Lord,  at 
the  l)last  of  the  "'breath  of  thy 
nostrils. 

IG  He  sent  from  above,  he^took 
me,  he  ^drew  me  out  of  many 
waters. 

17  He  "delivered  me  from  my 
strong  enemy,  and  from  them 
which  hated  me:  for  they  were 
too  strong  for  me. 

18  They  prevented  me  in  the 
day  of  my  calamity:  but  the 
Lord  was  my  "stay. 

19  He  "l)rought  me  forth  also 
into  a  large  place;  he  "deliv- 
ered me,  because  %e  delighted 
in  me. 

20  The  Lord  "rewarded  me 
according  to  my  ''•^righteous- 
ness; according  to  the  cleanness 
of  my  hands  hath  he  recom- 
pensed me. 

21  For  I  "have  kept  the  ways  of 
the  T.yORD,  and  have  not  Avicked- 
ly  departed  from  my  God. 

22  For  all  his  judgments  tvere 
before  me,  and  I  "did  not  put 
away  his  statutes  from  me. 

23  I  was  also  ^upright  before 
him,  and  I  kept  myself  from 
mine  iniquity. 

24  Therefore  hath   the   Lord 


"recompensed  me   according   to 


my  "■''righteousness,  according 
to  the  cleanness  of  my  hands  in 
his  eyesight. 

25  With  the  '^merciful  "-^thou 
wilt  shew  thyself  merciful;  with 
an  upright  man  thou  wilt  shew 
thyself  upright; 

2G  With  the  ^pure  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  pure;  and  with  the 
^' ''fro ward  thou  wilt  shew  thy- 
self frowaril. 

27  For  thou  wilt  'save  the  'af- 
flicted people;  but  wilt  bring 
down  '^high  looks. 

28  For  thou  wilt  light  my  can- 
dle: the  Lord  my  God  will  en- 
lighten my  darkness. 

29  For  'by  thee  I  have  run 
through  a  troop ;  and  by  my  God 
have  I  leaped  over  a  wall. 

30  As  for  God,  his  way  is  '"per- 
fect: the  "word  of  the  Lord  is 
tried:  he  is  a  "buckler  to  all 
those  that  trust  in  him. 

31  For  who  is  God  save  the 
Lord?  or  who  is  a  ^rock  save 
our  God  ? 

32  It  is  God  that  girdeth  me 
with  ''strength,  and  maketh  my 
way  '^perfect. 

33  He  maketh  my  feet  like 
hinds'  feet,  and  setteth  me  upon 
my  high  places. 

34  He  teacheth  my  hands  to 
'war,  ""so  that  a  'bow  of  steel  is 
broken  by  mine  arms. 

35  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the 
"shield  of  thy  "salvation :  and  thy 
right  hand  hath  holden  me  up, 
and  thy  ''gentleness  hath  made 
me  great. 

36  Thou  hast  enlarged  my  steps 
under  me,  that  my  feet  did  not 
slip. 

37  I  have  pursued  mine  ene- 
mies, and  overtaken  them:  nei- 
ther did  I  turn  again  till  they 
were  consumed. 

38  I  have  wounded  them  that 
they  were  not  able  to  rise:  they 
are  fallen  under  my  feet.

PSALM  21 

A  thanksgiving  for  victory.    7  Confidence 
of  further  success. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

A  Messianic  Psalm,  which  while  extol- 
ling: tlie  king  must  be  understood  in  a 
broader  sense  as  extolling  the  Messiah, 
the  hope  of  Israel.  The  Chaldce  Targum 
makes  the  opening  of  this  Psalm  to  read 
"O  Lord,  the  king  Messiah  shall  rejoice 
in  tliy  strength."  Rashi,  a  Jewish  com- 
mentator, admits  tliat  tlie  older  Hebrew 
doctors  expounded  this  Psalm  as  refer- 
ring to  the  Messiah;  but  that,  in  order  to 
avoid  agreement  with  Christian  Inter- 
pretation, later  Jewish  doctors  confine 
its  ajiplication  to  David.  The  church, 
however,  has  signified  its  faith  in  its 
Messianic  ciraracter  by  appointing  its 
use  In  the  festival  of  Christ's  ascension. 

THE  king  shall  °j  )y  in  thy 
strength,  O  Lord;  and  in 
thy  "salvation  how  greatly  shall 
he  rejoice! 

2  Thou  hast  given  hini  his 
heart's  desire,  and  hast  not 
withholden  the  ''request  of  his 
lips.  [So'lah. 

3  For  ''thovi  preveiitest  him 
with  the  ^blessings  of  goodness: 
thou  settest  a  'crown  of  pure 
''gold  on  his  head. 

4  Pie  asked  life  of  thee,  and 
thou  '^gavest  it  him,  even  ''length 
of  days  for  ever  and  ever. 

5  His  glory  is  great  in  thy  "sal- 
vation: honour  and  majesty  hast 
thou  laid  upon  him. 

6  For  thou  hast  made  him  most 
blessed  for  ever:  thou  hast  made 
him  exceeding  '^glad  with  Hhy 
countenance. 

7  For  the  king  'trusteth  in  the 
Lord,  and  through  the  ■'mercy 
of  the  most  High  he  shall  not  be 
moved. 

8  Thine  hand  shall  find  out  all 
thine  enemies:  thy  right  hand 
shall  find  out  those  that  hate  thee. 

9  Thou  shalt  make  ^'them  as  a 
fiery  ^''oven  in  the  time  of  thine 
'"anger:  the  IvORD  shall  swallow 
them  up  in  his  wrath,  and  the 
fire  shall  devour  them.

PSAI.IM  22 

Tlie  psalmist's  complaint  in  distress,  and 
prayer  for  help.  22  //is  purpose  to  praise 
God.     27  All  7iations  shall  praise  him. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  "Aijeleth  Sha- 
har,  A  Psalm   of  David. 

.A.  Messianic  Psalm.  The  introduction  to 
this  Psalm  In  a  commentary  issued  by 
Cambridge  University  for  schools  and 
colleges  begins  with  the  following  sen- 
tence: "The  first  and  greatestof  the'Pas- 
sion  Psalms'  conseci  atcd  for  us  by  our 
Lord's  appropriation  of  it  to  himself." 
The  Apostle  Paul  also  quotes  from  it  in 
his  reference  to  the  Lord,  Heb.  2:12.  The 
opening  words  of  tlie  Psalm  are  used  by 
Jesus  on  the  cross  and  it  is  thought, 
with  much  probability,  that  this  Psalm 
was  the  subject  of  meditation  in  his 
dying  agony.  It,  no  doubt,  has  an 
historical  basis  in  a  suffering  saint,  the 
poetic  delineation  of  whom,  under  di- 
vine Inspiration  and  guidance,  was  made 
to  describe,  in  type,  the  sufferings  of 
our  Lord.  The  description  of  the  perse- 
cution, "They  pierced  my  hands  and  my 
feet,"  V.  16;  "They  look  and  stare  upon 
me;  they  part  my  garments  among 
them;  they  cast  lots  upon  my  vesture," 
vs.  17,  18;  the  mockery  of  the  bystand- 
ers, vs.  7,  8  describe  with  surprising 
accuracy  the  sulferlngs  of  our  Lord. 
At  V.  24  the  scenes  cb'nge  from  the 
sufferings  to  the  compassion  of  the 
Messiah;  and  vs.  27,  28  describe  the 
triumph  of  his  kingdom  when  all  the 
earth  shall  turn  to  him  as  the  governor 
among  tlie  nations.  The  purpose  of 
the  Holy  Spirit  was  twofold  in  Inspiring 
the  poet.  Willie  primarily  he  describes 
a  suffering  but  triumphant  hero,  the 
dominant  theme  of  the  poem  is  to  de- 
scribe the  crucified  but  risen  and  glori- 
fied King  of  kings. 

MY  Cod,  my  God,  why  hast 
the 


art 


thou  forsaken  me?  why 
thou    so    far   from  helping 


me,  and  from  the  words  of  my 
roaring  ? 

2  O  my  God,  I  *cry  in  the  day- 
time, ^but  thou  hearest  not;  and 
in  the  night  season,  and  am  not 
silent. 

3  But  ^thou  art  holy,  O  thou 
that  inhabitest  the  ''praises  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

4  Our  fathers  'trusted  in  thee: 
they  trusted,  and  thou  didst  'de- 
liver them. 

5  ^They  'cried  unto  thee,  and 
were  delivered:  they  ^trusted  in 
thee,  and  were  not  confounded. 

6  But  I  am  a  worm,  and  no 
man;  a  reproach  of  men,  and 
despised  of  the  people. 

7  All  they  that  see  me  "'laugh 
me  to  scorn :  they  shoot  out  the 
lip,  they  shake  the  head,  saying, 

8  He  'trusted  on  the  Lord  that 
he  would  deliver  him:  let  him 
deliver  him,  seeing  he  delighted 
in  him. 

9  But  thou  art  he  that  took  me 
out  of  the  womb:  thou  didst 
make  me  hope  when  I  was  upon 
my  mother's  breasts. 

10  I  was  cast  upon  thee  from 
the  womb:  thou  art  my  God 
from  my  mother's  belly. 

11  Be  not  far  from  me;  for 
'^trouble  is  near;  for  there  is  none 
to  help. 

12  Many  bulls  have  compassed 
me:  strong  hulls  of  Ba'shiin  have 
beset  me  round. 

13  They  gaped  upon  me  with 
their  mouths,  as  a  ravening  and 
a  roaring  "lion. 

14  '^I  am  poured  out  like  water, 
and  all  my  bones  are  out  of  joint: 
my  heart  is  like  wax;  it  is  melted 
in  the  midst  of  my  "bowels.

PSALM  27 

The  psalmist's  confidence  in  God's  protec- 
tion, 7  and  prayer  to  be  delivered  from  his 
enemies, 

A  Psalm  of  David. 

"•rpiIE  Lord  is  my  ''light  and 
*  -A-  my  ''salvation ;  whom  shall 
I  fear  ?  the  Lord  is  the  strength 
of  my  life;  of  whom  shall  I  be 
afraid  ? 

2  When  the  wicked,  ctmi  mine 
enemies  and  my  foes,  came  upon 


me   to   eat   up   my  flesh,    they 
stumbled  and  fell. 

3  Though  an  host  should  en- 
camp against  me,  ''my  ^heart 
shall  not  fear:  though  ''war 
should  rise  against  me,  in  this 
will  I  be  confident. 

4  One  thing  have  I  ''desired  of 
the  Lord,  that  will  I  seek  after; 
that  I  may  dwell  in  the''- 'house  of 
the  Lord  all  the  days  of  my  life, 
to  behold  the^beauty  of  theLoRD, 
and  to  ''enquire  in  his  temple. 

5  P^or  ''in  the  time  of  'trouble  he 
shall  hide  me  in  his  pavilion :  in 
the  secret  of  his  'tabernacle  shall 
he  hide  me;  he  shall  set  me  up 
upon  a  rock. 

6  And  now  shall  mine  head  be 
lifted  up  above  mine  enemies 
round  about  me:  therefore  will  I 
offer  in  his  'tabernacle  sacrifices 
of  joy;  I  will  sing,  yea,  I  will  sing 
'"praises  unto  the  Lord. 

7  Hear,  O  Lord,  whoi  1  "cry 
with  my  voice :  have  "mercy  also 
upon  me,  and  answer  me. 

8  ]Vlie7i  thou  saidst.  Seek  ye  my 
face;  my  ^heart  said  unto  thee, 
''Thy  face.  Lord,  will  I  seek. 

9  "Hide  not  thy  face  far  from 
me;  put  not  thy  servant  away  in 
^anger:  ''thou  hast  been  my  help; 
leave  me  not,  neither  forsake  n  e, 
O  God  of  my  ''salvation. 

10  When  my  *father  and  my 
mother  forsake  me,  then  the 
Lord  will  take  ''me  up. 

11  *' 'Teach  me  thy  "way,  O 
Lord,  and^-'"'  ■''lead me  in  a  plain 
path,  because  of  mine  enemies.

An  exhortation  to  give  glory  to  God,  who  Is 
tlie  strength  and  security  of  his  people. 

A  P.salm  of  David. 

ORD,  O  ye 
the  Lord 
''glory  and  strength. 

2  Give  unto  the  Lord  the 
''glory  due  unto  his  name;  ''wor- 
ship the  Lord  in  the  ''beauty  of 
holiness. 

3  The  voice  of  the  Lord  is  up- 
on the  waters :  the  God  of  "glory 
thundereth:  the  Lord  is  upon 
many  waters. 

4  The  voice  of  the  "^Lord  is 
powerful;  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
is  full  of  majesty. 

5  The  voice  of  the  *Lord 
breaketh  the  cedars;  yea,  the 
Lord  breaketh  the  ^cedars  of 
Leb'a-non. 

6  He  maketh  them  also  to  skip 
like  a  calf;  Teb'a-non  and  "Sir'- 
i-6n  like  a  young  ''''unicorn. 

7  The  voice  of  the  Lord  di- 
videth  the  flames  of  fire. 

8  The  voice  of  the  Lord  shak- 
eth  the  wilderness;  the  Lord 
shaketh  the  wilderness  of  *Ka'- 
desh. 

9  The  voice  of  the  I^ord  'mak- 
eth the  ''^hinds  to  calve,  and  Mis- 
covereth  the  forests:  and  in  his 
'temple  doth  every  -'one  speak  of 
his  "glory. 

10  The  Lord  %ittetli  upon  the

PSALM  30 

The  psalmist  praises  God  for  his  deliver- 
ance. 4  ?le  exhorts  others  also  to  praise 
him. 

A  Psalm  and  Song  at  the  dedication 
of  the  house  of  David. 

"T  WILL  *extol  thee,  O  Lord; 
JL     for  thou  hast  lifted  me  up, 
and  hast  not  made  my  foes  to  re- 
joice over  me. 

2  O  Lord  my  God,  I  ''cried  un- 
to thee,  and  thou  hast  '^healed 
me. 

3  O  Lord,  thou  hast  '^brought 
up  my  soul  from  Hhe  grave: 
''thou  hast  kept  me  'ahve,  that  I 
should  not  ''go  down  to  the  ''pit. 

4  *Sing  unto  the  Lord,  O  ye 
saints  of  his,  and  give  'thanks  "at 
the  remembrance  of  his  'holi- 
ness. 

5  For  his  *^anger  eiulureth  hut  a 
moment;  in  his  ''"'favour  is  ^life: 
"■"weeping  may  endure  for  a 
night,  but  ^joy  cometh  in  the 
morning. 

6  And  in  my  prosperity  I  said, 
*•  ''I  shall  never  be  moved. 

7  Lord,  by  thy  'favour  thou 
hast  made  my  mountain  to  stand 
strong:  thou  didst  hide  thy  face, 
and  I  was  trouljled. 

8  I  '^cried  to  thee,  O  Lord;  and 
unto  the  Lord  I  made  suppli- 
cation. 

9  What  profit  is  there  in  my 
blood,  when  I  ''go  down  to  the 
''pit  ?  Shall  the  dust  praise  thee  ? 
shall  it  declare  thy  *truth  ? 

10  ''Hear,  O  Lord,  and  have 
'"mercy  upon  me:  Lord,  be 
''thou  my  helper. 

1 1  Thou  hast  turned  for  me  my 
'mourning  into  "dancing:  thou 
hast  put  off  my  ^'sackcloth,  and 
girded  me  with  ^gladness; 


12  To  the  end  that  my  glory 
may  sing  Upraise  to  thee,  and  not 
be  silent.  O  Lord  my  God,  I 
will  give  "thanks  unto  thee  for 
ever. 

PSALM  31 

The  psalmist  expresses  his  confidence  in 
God  and  craves  his  help.  19  God's  good- 
ness to  them  that  fear  him. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

IN  thee,  O  Lord,  do  I  put 
my  '^trust;  let  me  never  be 
ashamed:  ''deliver  me  in  thy 
'"righteousness. 

2  ''Bow  down  thine  ear  to  me; 
"deliver  me  speedily:  be  thou  my 
strong  "rock,  for  an  house  of  de- 
fence to  save  me. 

3  For  thou  art  my  ''rock  and 
my  'fortress;  therefore  ''for  thy 
name's  sake  ''■'lead  me,  and 
guide  me. 

4  ''•■'Pull  me  out  of  the  *net  that 
they  have  laid  privily  for  me :  for 
'thou  art  my  'strength. 

5  '"Lito  thine  hand  I  commit 
my  "spirit:  "thou  hast  redeemed 
me,  O  Lord  ■''God  of  truth. 

6  I  have  hated  ''them  that  re- 
gard lying  ''vanities:  but  I  ''trust 
in  the  Lord. 

7  "I  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in 
thy  'mercy:  for  thou  hast  con- 
sidered my  "trouble;  thou  hast 
known  my  soul  in  adversities ; 

8  And  hast  not  shut  me  up  into 
the  hand  of  the  enemy:  'thou 
hast  set  my  feet  in  a  large 
room. 

9  ''Have  'mercy  upon  me,  O 
Lord,  for  I  am  in  'trouble:  mine 
eye  is  consumed  with  grief,  yea, 
my  soul  and  my  ^belly.

my  strength  faileth  because  of 
mine  "'iniquity,  and  my  bones 
are  consumed. 

1 1  •''I  was  a  reproach  ainong  all 
mine  enemies,  but  especially 
amons;  my  neighbours,  and  a 
fear  to  mine  acquaintance:  they 
that  did  see  me  without  ^fled 
from  me. 

12  I  am  forgotten  as  a  ^dead 
man  out  of  mind:  I  am  like  a 
broken  vessel. 

13  For  I  have  heard  the  ^' ^slan- 
der of  many:  fear  was  on  every 
side :  while  they  "took  counsel  to- 
gether against  me,  they  devised 
to  take  away  my  life. 

14  But  I  "trusted  in  thee,  O 
Lord:  I  said.  Thou  art  my  God. 

15  My  times  are  in  thy  hand: 
deliver  me  from  the  hand  of 
mine  enemies,  and  from  them 
that  "persecute  me. 

16  ^lake  thy  face  to  shine  upon 
thy  servant:  save  me  for  thy 
'^mercies'  sake. 

17  Let  me  not  be  ashamed,  O 
Lord;  for  I  have  called  up- 
on thee:  ^let  the  wicked  be 
ashamed,  and  let  them  be  silent 
in  ^the  ''grave. 

1 8  "Let  the  'lying  lips  be  put  to 
silence;  which  speak  grievous 
things  proudly  and  contemptu- 
ously against  the  righteous. 

li)  Oh  how  great  is  thy  ''good- 
ness, which  thou  hast  laid  up 
for  them  that  ''fear  thee;  which 
thou  hast  wrought  for  them  that 
trust  in  thee  before  the  sons  of 
men! 

20  *Thou  shalt  hide  them  in  the 
secret  of  thy  presence  from  tlu; 
"pride  of  man:  thou  shalt  keep 
them  secretly  in  a  pavilion  from 
the  ^strife  of  tongues. 

21  ^'Blessed  be  the  Lord:  for  he 
hath  shewed  me  his  marvellous 
''kindness  in  a  strong  city. 

22  For  I  'said  in  my  haste,  '"I 


am  cut  ofT  from  before  thine 
eyes:  nevertheless  "thou  heard- 
est  the  voice  of  my  supplications 
when  I  cried  unto  thee. 

23  O  ""love  the  Lord,  all  ye 
his  saints:  for  the  'Lord  pre- 
serveth  the  ^faithful,  and  plen-

The  blessedness  of  the  man  whose  sin  is 
pardoned.  3  TItc  psalmist's  own  experi-

A  P.salm  of  Duvld,  Maschil. 

BLESSED  is-  he  whose  tnins- 
gression  is  ''forgiven,  whose 
sin  is  covered. 

2  "Blessed  is  the  man  unto 
whom  the  '^Lord  '^imputeth  not 
''iniquity,  and  in  whose  spirit 
there  is  ^-''no  ^guile. 

3  'When  I  kept  silence,  *my 
bones  waxed  old  through  my 
roaring  all  the  day  long. 

4  For  day  and  night  'thy  hand 
was  heavy  upon  me:  my  moist- 
ure is  turned  into  the  "'drought 
of  "summer.  [Se'lah. 

5  I  "•  "acknowledge  my  sin  unto 
thee,  and  mine  iniquity  have  I 
not  hid.  I  said,  I  will  confess  my 
transgressions  unto  the  Lord; 
and  ''thou  '^forgavest  the  iniquity 
of  my  sin.  [Se'lah. 

G  "For  this  shall  every  one 
that  is  godly  pray  unto  thee  in  a 
time  when  thou  mayest  be 
found:  surely  in  the  floods  of 
great  waters  they  shall  not  come 
nigh  unto  him.

PSALM  33 

An  exhortation  to  praise  God  for  his  good- 
ness, 6  for  his  power,  12  and  for  his 
providence.  20  The  Lord  is  ttie  help  of 
his  people. 

REJOICE  in  the  Lord,  O 
ye  righteous:  for  Upraise 
is  comely  for  the  upright. 

2  *' ""Praise  the  Lord  with 
''■'^harp:  sing  unto  him  with  the 
'psaltery  and  an  instrument  of 
ten  strings. 

3  ^''^Siiig  unto  him  a  new  ''song; 
play  skilfully  with  a  loud,  noise. 

4  For  the  ''word  of  the  'Lord 
is  right;  and  all  his  'works  ai'e 
done  in  ^'  ^truth. 

5  He  loveth  righteousness  and 
'judgment:  the  earth  is  full  of 
tlie  '"goodness  of  the  Lord. 

6  By  the  word  of  the  "Lord 
were  the  "heavens  ^made;  and 
all  the  'host  of  them  by  the 
'•■'l)reath  of  his  mouth. 

7  He  gathereth  the  waters  of  the 
'sea  together  as  an  heap :  he  lay- 
eth  up  the  depth  in  storehouses. 

8  Let  all  the  earth  "fear  the 
T^ord:  let  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  world  stand  in  awe  of  him. 

9  For  "'"he  spake,  and  it  was 
done;  he  commanded,  and  it 
stood  fast. 

10  The  '"L-ORD  bringeth  the 
counsel  of  the  ^heathen  to 
nought:  he  maketh  the  devices 
of  the  people  of  none  effect. 


11  The  counsel  of  the  ^-  ^Lord 
standeih  for  ever,  the  thoughts 
of  his  heart  to  all  generations. 

12  Blessed  is  the  ^nation  whose 
"God  is  the  Lord;  and  the  peo- 
ple whom  he  ''hath  chosen  for 
his  own  inheritance. 

13  The  '^LoRD  ''looketh  from 
'^heaven;  he  beholdeth  all  the 
sons  of  men. 

14  From  the  ^place  of  his  habi- 
tation he  '^looketh  upon  all  the 
inhabitants  of  the  earth. 

15  ''He  ^fashioneth  their  hearts 
alike;  he  considereth  all  their 
works. 

16  ^There  is  no  king  saved  by 
the  multitude  of  an  ''host:  a 
mighty  man  is  not  delivered  by 
much  strength. 

17  ''An  *horse  is  a  vain  thing 
for  safety:  neither  shall  he  de- 
liver any  by  his  great  strength. 

18  Behold,  the  'eye  of  "the 
Lord  i^  upon  ''^them  that  'fear 
him,  upon  them  that  '"•'^hope  in 
his  "mercy; 

19  To  "■''deliver  their  soul  from 
death,  and  to  keep  them  alive  in 
'famine. 

20  Our  soul  'waiteth  for  the 
Lord:  *lie  is  our  help  and  our 
'shield. 

21  For  our  heart  shall  "rejoice 
in  him,  because  we  have  ^trusted 
in  his  holy  name. 

22  Let  thy  "mercy,  O  Lord,  be 
upon  us,  according  as  we  '"hope 
in  thee. 

PSALM  34 

The  psalmist  praises  the  Lord.  3  He  ex- 
horts others  to  exalt  his  name;  11  and 
teaches  them  the  fear  of  the  Lord.  18 
Blessing  on  the  penitent;  19  on  the  ryjiu-

prayer  for  the  continuance  of  God's  loving-

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David, 
the  servant  of  the  Lord. 

THE  transgression  of  the 
wicked  saith  within  my 
heart,  t]iat  "tJiere  is  ''no  fear  of 
God  before  his  eves. 


2  "For  he  ''flattereth  himself  in 
his  owMi  eyes,  'until  his  iniquity 
be  found  to  be  hateful. 

3  ''The  words  of  his  mouth  are 
iniquity  and  *-''deceit:  "he  hath 
left  off  to  be  wis(%  and  to  do 
good. 

4  ''He  ^deviseth  mischief  upon 
his  bed;  "he  setteth  himself  in 
a  way  that  is  not  good;  "he  ab- 
horreth  not  evil. 

5  Thy  ''mercy,  ()  Lord,  is  in 
the  heavens;  and  thy  ^faithful- 
ness reanheth  unto  the  clouds. 

6  Thy  ^righteousness  is  like  'the 
great  mountains;  thy  judgments 
are  a  great  deep:  O  Lord, 'thou 
'preservest  man  and  ^'beast. 

7  How  excellent  r.y  thy  'loving- 
kindness,  O  God!  therefore  the 
children  of  men  ^put  their  "'trust 
under  the  shadow  of  thy  wings. 

8  ''They  shall  be  abundantly 
satisfied  with  the  fatness  of  thy 
"house;  and  thou  shalt  make 
^them  drink  of  the  ^''^ river  of  thy 
pleasures. 

9  For  wath  *thee  is  the  'foun- 
tain of  life:  in  thy  "light  shall  we 
see  ''light. 

10  "T)  continue  thy  ^loving- 
kindness  unto  them  that  know 
thee;  and  thy  ''righteousness  to 
the  upright  in  heart. 

11  ^Let  not  the  foot  of  pride 
come  against  me,  and  let  not  the 
hand  of  the  wicked  remove  me. 

12  There  are  the  workers  of  in-

3  ^"^Trust  in  the  Lord,  and 
do  good;  ^so  shalt  thou  dwell  in

be  fed. 

4  ^Delight  thyself  also  in  the

5  'Commit  thy  way  imto  the

he  shall  bring  it  to  pass. 

6  And  he  shall  bring  forth  thy 
'"righteousness  as  the  lig;ht,  and 
thy  judgment  as  the  noonday. 

7  ''•^'"^Rest  in  the  Lord,  and 
"wait  patiently  for  him:  fret  not 
thyself  because  of  him  who 
prospereth  in  his  way,  because 
of  the  man  who  bringeth 
wicked  devices  to  pa.ss. 

8  ^Cease  from  *anger,  and  for- 
sake wrath:  fret  not  thyself  ^in 
any  v.ise  to  do  evil. 

9  For  evildoers  ^shall  be  cut 
off:  but  ''"'those  that  wait  upon 
the  Lord,  they  shall  inherit  the 
earth. 

10  For  yet  a  little  while,  and 
the  ^wicked  .shall  not  be:  yea, 
thou  shalt  diligently  consider  his 
place,  and  it  shall  not  be. 

11  But  "'^the  '"•^meek  shall  in-

against  the  just,  and  gnasheth 
upon  him  with  his  teeth. 

13  The  Lord  shall  «'laugh  at 
him:  for  he  seeth  that  his  day  is 
cominff. 


14  The  wicked  have  drawn  out 
the  sword,  and  have  bent  their 
bow,  to  *cast  down  the  poor  and 
needy,  U'tid  to  slay  such  as  be  ^of 
upright  conversation. 

15  Their  sword  shall  enter  into 
their  oAvn  heart,  and  their  bows 
shall  be  broken. 

16  A  ^little  that  a  righteous  man 
hath  is  better  than  the  ^riches  of

17  For  the  arms  of  the  wicked

help  of  Cod. 

A  Psalm  of  David,   to  bring  to  remem-

OLORD,  rebuke 
thy  ^vrath:  licit 


;e  me  not  in 
ly  "wratli :  neither  '^chasten 
me  in  thy  hot  displeasure. 

2  "For  thine  '^arrows  stick  fast 
in  me,  and  thy  hand  presseth  me 
sore. 

3  '^  There  is  ^no  soundness  in 
my  flesh  because  of  thine  ''an- 
ger; neither  is  there  any  ^rest  in 
my  bones  because  of  my  'sin. 

4  ^'''For  mine  iniquities  are 
gone  over  mine  head:  \ts  an 
heavy  burden  they  are  too 
heavy  for  me. 

5  ''My  wounds  stink  and  are 
corrupt  because  of  my  foolish- 
ness. 

6  ''•'!  am  troubled;  I  am  bowed 
down  greatly;  I  go  mourning  all 
the  day  long. 

7  For  my  loins  are  filled  with 
^a  loathsome  ^disease:  and  tJiere 
is  no  soundness  in  my  flesh. 

8  "I  am  feeble  and  sore  broken : 
I  have  roared  by  reason  of  the 
disquictness  of  my  heart. 

9  "Lord,  all  my  desire  is  before 
thee;  and  my  groaning  ^is  not 
hid  from  thee. 

10  "JNIy  heart  panteth,  my 
strength  failcth  me:  as  for  the 
light  of  mine  eyes,  it  also  is 
gone  from  me. 

11  ]My  lovers  and  my  friends 
'stand  aloof  from  my  sore;  and 
my  kinsmen  stand  afar  off'. 

12  They  also  that  '"seek  after

they  that  seek  my  hurt  "speak 
mischievous  things,  and  imagine 
"deceits  all  the  day  long.

not;  and  I  was  as  a  dumb  man

15  "For  in  thee,  O  Lorb,  do  I 
*hope:  ''thou  wilt  hear,  O  Lord 
my  God. 

16  For  I  said,  Hear  me,  lest 
othenvise  they  should  '"rejoice 
over  me:  when  my  foot  slip- 
peth,  they  magnify  themselves 
against  me. 

17  For  I  ayn  ready  to  halt,  and 
my  sorrow  is  continually  be- 
fore me. 

18  For  *I  will  Meclare  mine 
iniquity;  I  will  ''be  sorry  for 
my  sin. 

19  But  mine  enemies  are  lively, 
and  they  are  strong:  and  they 
that  'hate  me  wrongfully  are 
multiplied. 

20  They  also  that  "render  "evil 
for  good  are  mine  adversaries; 
because  I  follow  tJie  thing  that 
good  is.

O  my  God,  be  not  far  from  me.

PSALM  39 

The  psalmist's  purpose  to  take  heed  to  his 

ways.   4  He   prays    for    a    sense  of  the 

brevity  of  life;  7  for  pardon;  10  for  de- 
liverance from  God's  Judgments. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  even  to  "Jeduthun, 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

T  SAID,  I  will  *take  heed  to 
J-  my  ways,  that  I  sin  not 
with  my  tongue:  I  will  ''kee]) 
my  mouth  with  a  '^bridle,  while 
the  wicked  is  before  me. 

2  ''I  was  dumb  with  silence,  I 
held  my  peace,  eiien  from  good; 
and  my  sorrow  was  stirred. 

3  My  heart  was  hot  within  me, 
while  I  was  "musing  the  fire 
burned:  then  spake  I  with  my 
tongue, 

4  ''Lord,  ^'make  me  to  know 
mine  ''end,  and  the  measure  of 
my  days,  what  it  is;  that  I  may 
know  *how  frail  I  am. 

5  Behold,  thou  hast  made 
my  V]ays  as  an  ''^'handbreadth; 
and    mine    age    is   as    nothing 

8S8 


before  thee:  verily  every  man 
at  his  best  state  is  altogether 
vanity.  [Se'lah. 

6  Surely  eveiy  man  walketh  in 
a  vain  shew:  surely  they  are  Mis- 
quieted  in  vain:  he  heapeth  up 
'"riches,  and  knoweth  not  who 
shall  gather  them. 

7  And  now.  Lord,  what  wait  I 
for?  my  "'"hope  is  in  thee. 

8  ^■''-'Deliver  me  from  all  my 
transgressions:  make  me  not  the 
reproach  of  the  foolish. 

9  T  was  dumb,  I  opened  not 
my  mouth,  because  thou  didst  it. 

10  ^Remove  thy  ^stroke  away 
from  me:  I  am  consumed  Ijy  the 
blow  of  thine  hand. 

11  When  thou  with  rebukes 
dost  'correct  man  for  iniquity, 
thou  makest  his  "beauty  to  con- 
sume away  like  a  "moth:  surely 
every  man  is  vanity.        [Se'lah. 

12  '"Hear  my  prayer,  O  Lord, 
and  give  ^ear  unto  my  cry;  hold 
not  thy  peace  at  my  •''tears:  for 
I  am  a  stranger  with  thee,  and 
a  sojourner,  as  all  my  fathers 
were. 

13  '"O  spare  me,  that  I  may 
recover  strength,  before  I  go 
hence,  and  be  no  more.

The  psalmist  ardently  desires  to  worship  in 
the  temple.  5  He  encourages  himself  to 
trust  in  God. 

To  the  chief  Musician,    Mascliil,    for  tlic 
sons  of  Korah. 

AS  the  hart  panteth  after  the 
water  "brooks,  so  *• ''pant- 
eth my  soul  after  thee,  O  God. 

2  *'^-My  soul  ''thirsteth  for  God, 
for  the  living  God:  when  shall  I 
come  and  appear  before  God  ? 

3  My  ^tears  have  been  my  meat 
day  and  night,  while  they  con- 
tinually ^say  unto  me,  ^'''Where 
is  thy  God  ? 

4  When  I  remember  these 
things,  I  pour  out  my  soul  in  me: 
for  I  had  gone  with  the  multi- 
tutle,  I  went  with  them  to  the 
'^house  of  God,  ^vith  the  voice  of 
^'joy  and  'praise,  with  a  multi- 
tude that  kept  holyday. 

5  Why  art  thou  '"'Vast  down, 
O  my  soul  ?  and  why  art  thou 
disquieted  in  me  ?  "hope  thou  in 
God:  ^'*for  I  shall  yet  praise  him 
for  the  help  of  his  countenance. 

6  ''O  my  God,  my  soul  is  ''cast 
down  witliin  me:  therefore  will  I 


remember  thee  from  the  land  of 
Jor'dan,  and  of  the  Her'mon- 
Ites,  from  the  hill  jNIi'zar. 

7  Deep  calleth  unto  deep  at  the

over  me. 

8  '^Yet  the  Lord  will  command 
his  ^lovingkindness  in  the  day- 
time, and  in  the  night  his  song 
shall  be  with  me,  and  my  prayer

9  I  will  say  unto  God  my  'rock, 
"Why  hast  thou  forgotten  me  ? 
why  go  I  mourning  because  of 
the  "oppression  of  the  enemy  ? 

10  As  with  a  sword  in  my 
bones,  mine  enemies  reproach 
me;  while  they  ^say  daily  unto 
me,  ''■*  Where  is  thy  God  ? 

11  Why  art  thou '"-Vast  down, 
O  my  soul  ?  and  why  art  thou 
discjuieted  within  me?  "hope 
thou  in  God:  ^"for  I  shall  yet 
praise  him,  ivho  is  the  health  of 
my  "'countenance,  and  my  God.

Korah.  "Maschil. 

WE  have  heard  with  our  ears, 
O  God,  our  fathers  have 
''told  us,  what  '^work  thou  didst 
in  their  days,  in  the  times  of 
old. 

2  How  '^thou  didst  drive  out  the 
'heathen  with  thy  hand,  and 
plantedst  them;  how  thou  didst 
afflict  the  people,  and  cast  them 
out. 

3  For  they  got  not  the  ''■''land  in 
possession  by  their  own  sword, 
neither  difl  their  own  arm  save 
them:  but  '^thy  right  hand,  and 
thine  arm,  and  the  light  of  thy 
countenance,  because  thou  hadst 
a  'favour  unto  them. 

4  Thou  art  my  ''King,  O  God: 
command  deliverances  for  Ja'- 
cob. 

5  ''Through  thee  will  we  push 
down  our  enemies:  through  thy 
name  will  we  tread  them  under 
that  rise  up  against  us. 

6  For  I  will  not  trust  in  my 
bow,  neitlier  shall  my  sword 
save  me. 

7  But  '"thou  hast  'saved  us  from 
our  enemies,  and  hast  put  them 
to  shame  that  'hated  us. 

8  In  God  we  boast  all  the  day 
long,  and  ''praise  thy  name  for 
ever.  [Se'lah. 

0  ^'But  thou  hast  cast  off,  and 


put  us  to  shame;  and  goest  not 
forth  with  our  '"armies. 

10  'Thou  inakest  us  to  turn 
back  from  the  enemy:  and  they 
which  hate  us  spoil  for  them- 
selves. 

11  'Thou  hast  given  us  like 
sheep  appointed  for  meat:  and 
hast  "scattered  us  among  the 
4ieathen. 

12  'Thou  sellest  thy  people  for 
nought,  and  dost  not  increase 
thy  wealth  by  their  price. 

13  'Thou  "makest  us  a  re- 
proach to  our  neighbours,  a 
scorn  and  a  derision  to  them  that 
are  round  about  us. 

14  'Thou  "makest  us  a  byword 
among  the  'heathen,  a  shaking 
of  the  head  among  the  people. 

15  ^''Aly  confusion  is  contin- 
ually before  me,  and  the  shame 
of  my  face  hath  covered  rae, 

16  For  the  voice  of  him  that 
reproacheth  and  blasphemeth; 
by  reason  of  the  enemy  and 
"avenger. 

17  All  this  is  come  upon  us; 
''yet  have  we  not  forgotten  thee, 
neither  have  we  dealt  falsely  in 
thy  covenant. 

IS  '^Our  heart  is  not  turned 
back,  neither  have  our  steps 
declined  from  thy  way; 

19  I'hough  thou  hast  sore 
"broken  us  in  the  place  of  ■* drag- 
ons, and  covered  us  with  the 
shallow  of  death. 

20  If  we  have  '^forgotten  the 
name  of  our  God,  or  ^stretched 
(jut  our  hands  to  a  strange  god; 

21  Shall  not  God  search  this 
out  ?  for  he  *know^eth  the  secrets 
of  the  *heart.

PSALM  45 

The  majesty  and  grace  of  the  Messiali.      10 
The  duties  and  honors  of  Zlon. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  Shosliannlm, 
for  tlie  sons  of  Korah,  "Maschii,  A  Song 
of  loves. 

A  Messianic  Psalm.  The  poet  is  celetirat- 
ing  tlie  marriai^e  of  liis  l<i]is  to  a  royai 
t)rl(le.  Tlie  K'iiifj  is  a  warrior.  He  )j;oes 
forth  in  majesty  and  with  sword  of  con- 
quest. He  conquers  and  reigns  In  riglit- 
eousness.  The  bride  is  glorious  in  per- 
son and  apparel,  and  the  people  rejoice 
in  her.  The  poet's  lofty  and  inspired 
numbers  describe  the  Messiah  and  the 
church,  his  royal  bride.  The  conquest 
of  the  world  to  truth  and  rls^hteousness 
and  the  marriage  of  the  militant  Prince 
of  righteousness  to  his  glorious  bride, 
described  by  St.  John  (Rev.  19:7-9) ,  is  the 
true  theme  of  the  inspired  Song. 

MY  heart  'is  inditing  a  good 
matter:  I  speak  of  the 
things  which  I  have  made  touch- 
ing the  king:  my  tongue  is  the 
''pen  of  a  ready  writer. 

2  ''Thou  art  fairer  than  the  chil- 
dren of  men:  ''grace  is  jioured 
into  thy  lips:  therefore  God  hath 
blessed  thee  for  ever. 

3  Gird  thy  sword  upon  tlnj 
thigh,  O  most  mighty,  ''with  thy 
glory  and  thy  majesty. 

4  And  ''in  thy  majesty  ride 
prosperously  because  of  ''truth 
and  *meekness  and  ^riirhteous- 


ness;  and  thy  right  hand  shall 
teach  thee  terrible  things. 

5  Thine  ''arrows  are  sharp  -in 
the  heart  of  the  king's  enemies; 
whereby  the  people  fall  under 
thee. 

6  "-^-JThy  Hhrone,  O  God,  is 
for  ever  and  ever:  ^the  'scejitre 
of  thy  kingdom  is  a  right  sceptre. 

7  Thou  lovest  ^righteousness, 
and  "'hatest  wickedness:  there- 
fore God,  thy  God,  hath  "anoint- 
ed thee  with  the  oil  of  gladness 
above  thy  fellows. 

8  All  thy  garments  smell  of 
"myrrh,  and  '^aloes,  and  ^^cassia, 
out  of  the  ^ivory  palaces,  ''where- 
by they  have  made  thee  glad. 

9  King's  daughters  were  among 
thy  honourable  women:  upon 
thy  right  Hiand  did  stand  the 
queen  in  ^gold  of  '( J'phlr. 

10  Hearken,  O  "daughter,  and 
consider,  and  incline  thine  ear; 
forget  also  thine  own  people,  and 
thy  father's   house; 

1 1  So  shall  the  king  greatly  de- 
sire thy  ■'■beaut}':  for  he  is  thy 
Lord;  and  worship  thou  him. 

12  And  the  daughter  of  *T\re 
shall  he  there  with  a  "'gift;  even 
the  rich  among  the  people  shall 
intreat  thy  favour. 

13  The  king's  "daughter  Hs  all 
glorious  within:  her  clothing  is 
"of  wrought  Void. 

14  She  shall  be  brought  unto 
the  king  in  raiment  of  ''^needle- 
work:  the  ^virgins  her  compan- 
ions that  follow  her  shall  be 
brought  unto  thee. 

15  With  ^gladness  and  rejoicing 
shall  they  be  brought:  they  shall 
enter  into  the  king's  palace.

Zlon's  confidence  In  God.     8   .In  exhorta-

To   the  chief  Musician     for    the   sons   of 
Korali,  A  Sono:  upon  Alamoth. 

"f^  OD  is  our  ^refuge  and 
^     strength,  "a,  very  present 
help  ill  trouble. 

2  Therefore  ''will  not  we  fear, 
though  the  earth  'be  removed, 
and  though  the  mountains  be 
carried  into  the  midst  of  the  sea; 

3  Though  the  waters  thereof 
roar  and  be  troubled,  though 
the  mountains  ''shake  with  the 
swelling  thereof.  [Se'lah. 

4  There  is  a  *river,  the  streams 
whereof  shall  make  ''glad  the 
'city  of  God,  the  holy  place  of 
the  tabernacles  of  the  most  High. 

5  God  is  in  the  midst  of  her; 
she  shall  not  be  moved:  God 
shall  help  her,  and  that  right 
early. 

6  The  ^heathen  raged,  the  king- 
doms were  moved:  *he  uttered 
his  voice,  the  earth  melted. 

7  "The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with 
us;  "the  God  of  Ja'cob  is  our 
'refuge.  [Se'lah. 

8  Come,  behold  tlie  works  of

hath  made  in  the  earth. 

9  ^He  'maketh  '"wars  to  cease

brcaketh  the  "bow,  and  cutteth 
the  "spear  in  sunder;  he  burneth 
tlie  ^chariot  in  the  fire. 

10  Be  still,  and  know  that  I  am 
God:  I  will  be  exalted  among  the

7'he  nations  exhorted  to  praise  God. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm   for  the

3  ''He  shall  subdue  the  people 
under  us,  and  the  nations  under

PSALM  49 

The  psalmist  calls  upon  all  men  to  hear.  6 
He  shews  the  vanity  of  trusting  in  wealth. 
16  Worldly  prosperity  Is  not  to  be  envied. 

To  the  chief  Musician,   A  Psalm  for  the 
sons  of  Korah. 

HEAR  this,  all  ye  people;  give 
ear,  all  ije  inhabitants  of 
the  world: 


2  Both  low  and  high,  rich  and 
poor,  together. 

3  My  mouth  shall  speak  of 
"wisdom;  and  the  """meditation 
of  my  heart  shall  be  of  under- 
standing. 

4  I  will  incline  mine  ear  to  a 
parable:  I  will  open  my  dark 
saying  upon  the  *harp. 

5  Wherefore  should  I  '^fear  in 
the  days  of  evil,  tvhen  Hhe  in- 
iquity of  my  heels  shall  compass 
me  about  ? 

6  They  that  '^trust  in  their 
'^wealth,  and  '^boast  themselves 
in  the  multitude  of  their  riches; 

7  ^None  of  them  can  by  any 
means  redeem  his  brother,  nor 
give  to  God  a  ''ransom  for  him: 

8  (For  the  redemption  of  their 
^soul  is  precious,  and  it  ceaseth 
for  ever:) 

9  That  he  should  still  live  for 
ever,  and  not  see  '■■'corruption. 

10  For  he  seeth  that  wise  men 
'die,  likewise  the  fool  and  the 
brutish  person  perish,  and  leave 
their  wealth  to  others. 

11  d. k'^i^i^Qij-  inward  thought  is, 
that  their  houses  shall  contimie 
for  ever,  and  their  dwelling 
places  to  all  generations;  they 
call  their  lands  after  their  own 
names. 

12  Nevertheless  man  being  in 
honour  abideth  not:  he  is  like  the 
'beasts  that  perish. 

13  This  their  way  is  their  folly: 
yet  ^their  posterity  approve  their 
sayings.  [Se'lah.

on  them;  and  the  upright  shall

The  psalmist  describes  the  corruption  of

To   the  chief  Musician    upon  "Mahalath, 
"Maschll,  A  Psalm  of  David.

"heaven  upon  the  children  of

up  my  people  as  they  eat

11  Wickedness  is  in  the  midst 
thereof:  ^deceit  and  ^guile  de- 
part not  from  her  streets. 

12  For  it  ivas  not  an  ^enemy 
that  reproached  me;  then  I  could 
have  borne  it:  neither  was  it  he 
that  ''hated  me  that  did  magnify 
himself  against  me;  then  I  would 
have  hid  myself  from  him: 

13  But  it  was  '^tliou,  a  man 
mine  equal,  my  ''guide,  and 
mine  acquaintance. 

14  We  took  '''"sweet  counsel 
together,  and  walked  ^unto  the 
"house  of  God  in  company. 


15  ''Let  death  seize  upon  them, 
and  let  them  go  down  ^quick 
into  "hell:  for  wickedness  is 
in  their  dwellings,  a?id  among 
them. 

16  As  for  me  I  will  ''call  up- 
on God;  and  ''the  Lord  shall 
*save  me. 

17  '^Evening,  and  morning,  and 
at  noon,  will  I  ^■''pray,  and  cry 
aloud:  and  ^he  shall  hear  my 
voice. 

18  He  hath  ^delivered  my  soul 
in  peace  from  the  battle  that 
ivas  against  me:  for  there  \vere 
many  ^with  me. 

19  'God  shall  hear,  and  »af- 
flict  them,  even  he  that  ^abideth 
of  old.  Se'lah.  Because  they 
have  no  changes,  therefore  'they 
fear  not  God. 

20  He  hath  put  forth  his  hands 
against  such  as  be  at  peace  with 
him:  he  hath  ''^broken  his  Cove- 
nant. 

21  ""The  "\rords  of  his  mouth 
were  smoother  than  butter,  ''^but 
war  was  in  his  heart:  his  words 
were  softer  than  oil,  ^yet  were 
they  drawn  swords. 

22  ^'^Cast  thy  burden  upon 
the  Lord,  and  "■''he  *^shall  sus- 
tain thee:  ''he  shall  never  suffer 
the  righteous  to  be  moved. 

23  But  thou,  O  God,  shalt 
bring  them  down  into  the  *pit  of 
destruction:  n)loody  and  ''de- 
ceitful men  ''shall  not  live  out 
half  their  days;  hut  I  'will  trust 
in  thee.

2  From  the  end  of  the  earth 
will  I  "^cry  unto  thee,  ''when  my 
heart  is  overwhelmed:  '"lead  me 
to  the  ''rock  that  is  higher  than  L 

3  For  thou  hast  been  a  ^shelter 
for  me,  and  a  strong  'tower  from 
the  enemy. 

4  ^1  will  abide  in  thy  ''taber- 
nacle forever:  I  will  'trust  in  the 
covert  of  thy  wings.         [Se'lah. 

5  For  thou,  O  God,  hast  heard 
my  'vows:  thou  hast  given  me  the 
heritage  of  those  that  'fear  thy 
name. 

6  Thou  wilt  ^'prolong  the  king's 
life:  and  his  years  as  many  gene- 
rations 

7  He  shall  abide  before  God  for 
ever:  O  prepare  'mercy  and 
'"truth,  wliich  may  preserve  him.

PSALM  63 

The  psalmist's  thirst  for  God.  4  His  man- 
ner of  blessing  God.  9  His  confidence  of 
his  enemies'  destruction,  and  his  own 
safety. 

A  Psalm  of  David,  when  he  was  in  the 
wilderness  of  Judah. 

OGOD,  "thou  art  my  God; 
early  will  ^-T  seek  thee: 
my  soul  '^•''thirsteth  for  thee,  my 
flesh  longeth  for  thee  in  a  dry 
and  Hhirsty  land,  where  no  wa- 
ter is; 

2  To  see  thy  ''power  and  thy 
''glory,  so  as  I  have  seen  thee  in 
the  ''sanctuary. 


3  "Because  thy  ^ovingkindness 
is  better  than  life,  my  lips  shall 
Upraise  thee. 

4  "Thus  will  I  ''bless  thee  while 
I  live:  I  will  lift  up  my  hands  in 
thy  name. 

5  "My  soul  shall  be  ^'satisfied  as 
with  marrow  and  fatness;  and 
my  mouth  shall  praise  thee  with 
'joyful  lips: 

6  When  I  "remember  thee  upon 
my  bed,  a7id  '"meditate  on  thee 
in  the  ^^night  watches. 

7  Because  "thou  hast  been  my 
help,  therefore  in  the  shadow  of 
thy  wings  will  I  'rejoice. 

8  INIy  soul  ^•'^followeth  hard 
after  thee:  thy  right  hand  up- 
holdeth  me. 

9  But  those  that  seek  my  soul, 
to  destroy  it,  shall  go  into  the 
lower  parts  of  the  earth. 

10  They  shall  fall  by  the  sword: 
they  shall  be  a  portion  for  *foxes. 

11  But  the  king  shall  rejoice  in 
God;  every  one  that  sweareth  by 
him  shall  glory:  but  the  mouth 
of  them  that  speak  ^lies  shall  be 
stopped. 

PSALM  64 

The  psalmist  prays  for  deliverance  from  his 
enemies.  He  foretells  their  destruction; 
10  at  which  the  righteous  shall  rejoice. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David.

my  "prayer:  preserve  my  life 
from  fear  of  the  enemy. 

2  Hide  me  from  the  ''•'^secret

God:  lie  is  terrible  in  his  doing 
toward  the  children  of  men. 

6  "He  turned  the  ^sea  into  dry 
laud:  ''they  went  through  the 
"flood  on  foot:  there  did  we  re- 
joice in  him.

PSAL^I  07 

A  prayer  for  the  enlargement  of  God's  king- 
dom, 3  and  for  the  Joy  of  his  people. 

To    the   chief   Musician   on   Neginoth,    A 
Psalm  or  Song. 

A  Messianic  Psalm.  The  opening  theme 
of  the  poem  is  the  mi.ssion  and  message 
of  Israel  to  the  world,  namely,  "tliat 
thj-  way  may  be  known  upon  the  earth, 
thy  salvation  among  all  nations."  The 
Inspired  vision  of  the  prophet  bursts  the 
restrictions  of  national  exclusivoness 
that  forbade  Israel's  fellowship  with 
the  nations  of  the  world,  and  reveals 
the  coming  of  all  the  peoples  of  the 
earth  Into  one  spiritual  kingdom,  when 
all  the  ends  of  the  earth  shall  fear  God. 
Tlie  theme  of  the  psalm  sung  In  the 
tabernacle  of  old  is  the  theme  of  the 
Gospel  that  inspires  our  faith  as  we  sing 
in  Christian  assemblies  of  this  day: 

"From  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies, 
Let  the  Creator's  praise  arise; 
Let  the  Redeemer's  name  be  sung 
Through  every  land  by  every  tongue. " 

The  fulliUment  of  the  Messianic  hope  ex- 
pressed in  both  the  aricient  and  modern 
song  is  approaching  its  realization  in  the 
glorious  kingdom  of  the  world's  tri- 
umphing Messiah. 

"f^  OD   be  ^merciful  unto   u.s, 

V-^        and     bless     us;     and 

cause    his    face   to   shine   upon 

us;  [Se'lali. 

2  'i'hat  tliy  way  may  be  known 
upon  earth,  thy  saving  health 
among  all  nations. 

3  Let  the  ^people  ''j)raise  thee, 
O  God;  let  all  the  peo})le  praise 
thee. 

4  O  let  the  nations  be  glad 
and  sing  for ''joy:  for  thou  shalt 
'^judge  the  peo])le  righteously, 
and  'govern  the  nations  upon 
earth.  [Se'lah. 

o  Let  the  'people  Upraise  thee, 
O  (rod;  let  all  the  [x-ople  praise 
thee. 

G  ""-"Tlien  shall  the  earth  yield 
her  inerea.se;  and  ''God,  even  our

PSALM  69 

The  psalmist  complains  of  Ms  affUction. 
13  He  prays  for  deliverance.  22  lie  de- 
votes liis  enemies  to  destruction.  30  And 
praises  God  with  thanksgiving. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  Siioshannim, 
A  Psalm  ol  David. 

A  Messianic  Psalm.  This  Psalm  is  fre- 
quently quoted  in  the  New  Testament. 
The  e.\perlence  of  the  psalmist,  wliiclj  is 
graphically  described  herein.  Is  frequent- 
ly referred  to  as  typical  of  the  sufferinffs 
of  Jesus,  and  the  causeless  hatred  of  the 
Jews.  Compare  v.  4  with  John  13:25. 
The  zeal  ol  Jesus  is  typUied  In  v.  9,  as 
shown  in  John  2:17.  The  rest  of  this 
verse  is  applied  b.v  Paul  to  Jesus  (sec 
Romans  15:3).  Verse  25  seems  to  have 
been  combined  with  Psahn  100:8  in 
Acts  1 :20  describing  the  doom  of  the 
traitor.  Verses  22,  23  are  applied  bj- 
Paul  in  Romans  11:9  to  the  rejection  of 
apostate  Israel.  The  physical  suffer- 
ings of  the  psalmist  described  in  v.  21 
foreshadow  the  sufferings  of  Jesus  (see 
John  19:25).  While  Matthew  does  not 
quote  this  verse.  It  .seems  to  h;ivc  been  in 
his  mind  (see  Matt.  27 :34,  48)  as  de- 
scriptive of  the  sufferings  of  Jesus. 
Verses  12,  20  are  descriptive  of  the 
mocUery  endured  by  the  psalmist,  which 
preligures  the  moclcery  of  the  Savior  de- 
scribed In  Matt.  27  :27.  Verse  26,  in  the 
light  of  Isa.  53  and  Zech.  13:7,  fore- 
shadows the  sufferings  of  the  Savior. 
The  Psalm  cannot  be  interpreted  as 
wholly  Messianic,  for  the  almost  shock 
Ing  Imprecations  against  the  psalmist's 
enemies,  as  for  instance,  vs.  22-25,  27,  28. 
are  Inconsistent  with  the  meekness  of 
Jesus,  who,  Willie  "He  was  reviled,  re- 
viled not  again"  (1  Pet.  2:23).  Never- 
theless, it  must  1)6  recognized  that  the 
strong  similitudes  in  the  persecutions 
endured  by  the  psalmist  foreshadow  the 
sufferings  oi  the  Savior  of  men. 


"OAVE  me,  O   God;   for  "the 
k)     waters  are  come  in   unto 
1)11/  .soul. 

2  ''I  sink  in  deep  ''inire,  where 
there  is  no  standing:  I  am  come 
into  deep  waters,  where  the 
floods  overflow  me. 

3  *I  am  weary  of  my  crying:  m}'

while  I  ''wait  for  my  (rod. 

4  '^They  that  ''-"hate  me  without 
a  cause  are  more  than  the  hairs 
of  mine  head:  they  that  woidd

wrongfully,  are  mighty:  then  I 
restored  that  which  I  took  not 
away. 

5  ''•'O  God,  thou  'knf)west  my

6  'Let  not  them  that  wait  on 


thee,  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  "'be 
ashamed  for  my  sake:  let  not 
those  that  ''seek  thee  be  ^'"con- 
founded for  my  sake,  O  (jod  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

7  Because  "for  thy  sake  "I  have 
borne  reproach;  shame  hath 
covered  my  face. 

8  "I  am  become  a  stranger  unto 
my  brethren,  and  an  alien  unto 
my  mother's  children. 

9  For  ^the  *zeal  of  thine  house 
hath  eaten  me  up;  and  ''the  *re- 
proaches  of  them  that  reproach- 
ed thee  are  fallen  upon  me. 

10  When  I  'wept,  and  chastened 
my  soul  with  "fasting,  that  was 
to  my  re{)roach. 

11  I  made  "sackcloth  also  my 
garment;  and  I  became  a  '"pro- 
verb to  them. 

12  They  that  sit  in  the  ^gato 
^'speak  against  me;  and  I  ./t/.v 
the  song  of  the  *• -drunkards. 

13  But  as  for  me,  "my  ''prayei- 
is  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  in  an  ac- 
ceptable time:  O  God,  in  the 
multitude  of  thy  '^mercy  hear  me, 
in  the  ''truth  of  thy  '^salvation. 

14  ''Deliver  me  out  of  the  ''mire, 
and  let  me  not  sink:  let  me  be  de- 
livered from  "tluMU  that  ''hate 
me,  and  out  of  the  deep  waters. 

15  ''Let  not  the  waterflood  over- 
flow me,  neither  let  the  deep 
swallow  me  up,  and  let  not  the 
'l)it  shut  her  mouth  upon  me. 

16  ''Hear  me,  O  Lord;  ^'for  thy 
^"■'lovingkindness  is  good:  turn 
unto  me  according  to  the  multi- 
tude of  thy  tender  '"mercies. 

17  And  ''hide  not  thy  face  from

dishonour:  mine  adversaries  are 
all  before  thee. 

20  Reproach  hath  broken  my 
heart;  and  I  am  "full  of  heavi- 
ness: and  I  looked  for  some  to 
^take  pity,  but  there  was  none; 
and  for  comforters,  but  I  found 
none. 

21  ^'''They  gave  me  also  *gall 
for  my  meat;  and  in  my  thirst 
they  gave  me  vinegar  to  drink. 

22  'Let  their  table  become  a 
snare  before  them:  ^and  thai 
which  should  have  been  for  tJteir 
welfare,  let  it  become  a  trap. 

23  Let  their  eyes  be  darkened, 
that  they  see  not;  and  make  their 
loins  continually  to  shake. 

24  Pour  out  thine  indignation 
upon  them,  and  let  thy  wrathful 
"anger  take  hold  of  them. 

25  Let  their  habitation  be  deso- 
late; aiid  let  none  dwell  in  their 
tents. 

26  ^For  they  persecute  '^him 
whom  thou  hast  "'smitten;  and 
they  ^talk  to  the  grief  of  those 
whom  thou  hast  wounded. 

27  Add  iniquity  unto  their  in- 
iquity: and  let  them  not  come 
into  ^thy  righteousness. 

28  Let  them  be  blotted  out  of 
the  ^book  of  ^the  living,  and  not 
be  written  with  the  ^righteous. 

29  But  I  am  poor  and  sorrow- 
ful: let  thy  "salvation,  O  God, 
set  me  up  on  high. 

30  I  will  ''praise  the  name  of 
God  with  a  song,  and  will  mag- 
nify him  with  '^thanksgiving. 

31  '^This  also  shall  please  the 
Lord  better  than  an  ox  or  bul- 
lock that  hath  horns  and  hoofs. 

32  The  ^■'humble  shall  see  this, 
and  be  ''glad:  and  your  heart 
shall  live  that  ''seek  God. 

33  For  ''the  Lord  heareth  the 
'poor,  and  despiseth  not  his  pris- 
oners. 

34  Let  the  heaven  and  earth 
Upraise  him,  the  seas,  and  every 
thing  that  moveth  therein. 


35  For  God  will  'save  *Zl'6n, 
and  will  'build  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah:  that  they  may  dwell  there, 
and  have  it  in  possession. 

36  The  seed  also  of  his  serv-

that  '"love  his  name  shall  dwell

desire  my  hurt. 

3  ''Let  them  be  turned  back 
^for  a  reward  of  their  shame

4  Let  all  ^those  that  '^seek  thee

/.s'  firm. 

5  *They  are  not  in  trouble  a.s' 
other  men;  neither  are  they 
plagued  like  other  men. 

6  Therefore  ''j:)rifle  compasseth 
them  about  as  a  ''chain;  violence 
covereth  them  as  a  garment. 

7  *Their  eyes  stand  out  with 
fatness:  they  'have  more  than 
heart  could  wish. 

S  *They  ^are  corrupt,  and 
^sj)eak  wickedly  concerning  oj)- 
pression:  they  speak  loftily. 

9  *They  ^set  their  mouth 
against  the  heavens,  and  their 
tonijue  walketh  through  the 
earth. 

10  Therefore  his  people  return 
hither:  and  waters  of  a  full  'cup 
are  ^wrung  out  to  them. 

11  And  they  ^■'"■''say,  How 
doth  God  "know  ?  and  is  there 
knowledge  in  tlie  most  High  ? 

12  Behold,  these  are  the  *un- 
godly,  ■*who  prosper  in  the  workl; 
'they  increase  in  ^riches. 

13  "■''Verily  I  have  ^cleansed 
my  heart  in  vain,  and  Hvashed 
my  hands  in  innocency. 


14  For  all  the  day  long  have  1 
been  '^plagued,  and  chastened 
every  morning. 

15  If  1  say,  I  will  speak  thus; 
behold,  I  ^should  oifend  arjain.si 
the  gcMieration  of  thy  children. 

1(3  When  I  'thought  to  know 
this,  it  ivas  too  ])ainful  for  me; 

17  Until  I  went  into  the  '"sanc-

I  their  end. 

IS  Surely  thou  didst  ^set  *them 
in  slippery  places:  thou  castedst

19  How  are  *they  brought  in- 
to desolation,  as  in  a  moment! 
tliey  are  utterly  consumed  Avith

20  As  a  dream  when  our

PSALM  74 

The  psalmist  complains  of  the  desolations  of 
Zlon;  and  pleads  with  God  to  Interpose,  as 
of  old,  in  behalf  of  hts  suffering  people. 

"Maschil  of  Asaph. 

"•'TX  GOD,  why  hast  thou  cast 
v./       '^lis  off  for   ever?  why 
doth  thine  ''anger  smoke  against 
the  ^sheep  of  thy  pasture  ? 

2  Remember  thy  congregation, 
which  ''thou  hast  purchased  of 
old;  Hhe  rod  of  thine  inherit- 
ance, which  thou  hast  redeemed; 
this  mount  *Zi'6n,  wherein  thou 
hast  dwelt. 

3  Lift  up  thy  feet  unto  the  per- 
petual desolations;  even  all  that 
the  enemy  hath  done  wickedly 
in  the  'sanctuary. 

4  Thine  enemies  roar  in  the 
midst  of  thy  congregations ;  they 
set  up  their  ^ensigns  for  signs. 

5  ^A  man  was  famous  accord- 
ing as  he  had  lifted  up  *axes 
upon  the  thick  trees. 

6  But  now  they  l)reak  down  the 
'carved  work  thereof  at  once 
with  '^'axes  and  hammers. 

7  They  have  ^''"cast  fire  into 
thy  ^sanctuary,  they  have  defiled 
hy  casting  doini  the  dwelling 
place  of  thy  name  to  the  ground. 

8  They  said  in  their  hearts,  Let 
us  "destroy  them  together:  they 


have  burned  up  all  the  °syna- 
groo-ues  of  God  in  the  land. 

9  We  see  not  our  signs :  there  is 
no  more  any  ^prophet:  neither 
is  there  among  us  any  that  know- 
eth  how  long. 

10  ^O  God,  how  long  shall  the 
adversary  reproach  ?  shall  the 
enemy  ''blaspheme  thy  name 
for  ever  ? 

1 1  Why  withdrawest  thou  thy 
*''hand,  even  thy  right  hand? 
pluck  it  out  of  thy  bosom.' 

12  For  "God  if  my  ^'Iving  of 
old,  working  "'salvation  in  the 
midst  of  the  earth. 

13  Thou  didst  divide  the  ^sea 
by  thy  ^strength:  thou  brakest 
the  heads  of  the  Mragons  in 
the  waters. 

14  Thou  ^^brakest  the  heads  of 
leviathan  in  pieces,  and  gavest 
him  to  he  meat  to  the  people  in- 
habiting the  wilderness. 

15  ^Thou  didst  cleave  the  foun- 
tain and  the  flood:  thou  driedst 
uj)  mighty  rivers. 

16  The  "day  is  thine,  the  ''night 
also  is  thine:  thou  hast  ''jjrepared 
the  ''light  and  the  ^sun. 

17  Thou  hast  'set  all  the  bor- 
ders of  the  earth :  thoii  hast  made 
'summer  and  "winter. 

IS  Remember  this,  that  the  en- 
emy hath  reproached,  O  Lord, 
and  tliat  ^the  foolish  people  have 
''blasphemed  thy  name. 

19  'O  deliver  not  the  soul  of  thy 
turtledove  unto  the  ''multitude  0/ 
the  wicked:  forget  not  the  '^con- 
gregation of  thy  poor  for  ever. 

20  'Have  respect  unto  the  cove- 
nant: for  the  dark  places  of  the 
earth  are  full  of  the  habitations 
of  cruelty. 

21  ^O  let  not  the  oppressed  re- 
turn ashamed :  let  the  ^'poor  and 
needy  'praise  thy  name. 

22  Arise,  O  God,  plead  thine 
own  cavise:  remember  how  the 
foolish  man  reproacheth  thee 
daily.

lious  generation;  a  generation 
tliat  set  not  their  heart  aright, 
and  whose  spirit  was  ''not  sted- 
fast  with  God. 

9  The  children  of  «E'phra-im, 
being  armed,  and  carrying  bows, 
'"turned  back  in  the  chiy  of  battle. 

10  They  ^-'kept  not  the  "cove- 
nant of  God,  and  "'"refused  to 
walk  in  his  ^law; 

11  And  'forgat  his  ^vorks,  and 
his  ^wonders  that  he  had  shewed 
them. 

12  "IMarvellous  things  did  '''he 
in  the  sight  of  their  fathers,  in 
the  land  of  •''E'gypt,  in  the  field 
of  ^Zo'an. 

13  He  divided  the  ^sea,  and 
caused  "them  to  pass  through; 
and  he  made  the  waters  to  stand 
as  an  heap. 

14  In  the  daytime  also  he  led 
"them  with  a  *• ''cloud,  and  all 
the  night  with  a  light  of  fire. 

15  He  clave  the  *• ''rocks  in 
the  wilderness,  and  gave  '^them 
'^drink  as  out  oj  the  great  depths. 

16  He  brought  ''streams  also 
out  of  the  *'''rock,  and  caused 
waters  to  run  down  like  rivers. 

17  ^And  "^'^they  sinned  yet  more 
against  him  by  provoking  the 
most  High  in  the  wilderness. 

IS  And  "they  tempted  God  in 
their  heart  by  asking  meat  for 
their  ''lust. 

19  Yea,  ''they  "spake  against 
God;  they  \said.  Can  God  fur- 
nish a  table  in  the  wilderness  ? 

20  Behold,  he  smote  the 
*-'*rock,  that  the  waters  gushed 
out,  and  the  streams  overflowed ; 
''■'can  he  give  bread  also  ?  can 
he  provide  flesh  for  his  people  ? 

21  Therefore  the  Lord  heard 
tJiis,  and  was  'wroth:  so  a  fire 
was  kindled  against  Ja'cob,  and 
anger  also  came  up  against  Is'- 
ra-el; 

22  Because  "they  ''•'believed  not 


in  God,  and  trusted  not  in  his 
*  salvation: 

23  Though  he  had  command- 
ed the  clouds  from  above,  and 
opened  the  doors  of  heaven, 

24  And  had  rained  down  "•  'man- 
na upon  them  to  eat,  and  had 
given  themof  the'^corn  of  heaven. 

25  Man  did  eat  ^angels'  food: 
he  sent  them  "'"'meat  to  the  full. 

26  He  caused  an  east  "wind  to 
blow  in  the  heaven:  and  by  his 
"power  he  brought  in  the  south 
wind. 

27  He  rained  ^-'"flesh  also  up- 
on "them  as  dust,  and  feathered 
fowls  like  as  the  sand  of  the 
sea: 

28  And  he  let  it  fall  in  the  midst 
of  their  camp,  round  about  their 
habitations. 

29  So  they  did  eat,  and  were 
^well  filled:  for  he  gave  them 
their  own  desire; 

30  They  were  not  estranged 
from  their  ^lust.  But  «while 
their  '"meat  icas  yet  in  their 
mouths, 

31  The  'wrath  of  God  came  up- 
on "them,  and  '^slew  the  fattest  of 
them,  and  smote  down  the  ^cho- 
sen men  of  Ls'ra-el. 

32  For  all  this  "they  *• 'sinned 
still,  and  'believed  not  for  his 
wondrous  "works. 

33  Therefore  their  days  Mid  he 
consume  in  "'vanity,  and  their 
years  in  ^trouble. 

'  34  Wiien  "he  ^slew  them,  then 
they  ''-^sought  him:  and  they  re- 
turned and  enquired  early  after 
God. 

35  ^And  they  remembered  that 
(rod  was  their  *rock,  and  the 
high  God  tiieir  redeemer. 

36  Nevertheless  they  did  "flat- 
ter him  with  their  mouth,  and 
they  "lied  unto  him  with  their 
tongues.

40  How  oft  did  ""they  ^provoke

41  Yea,  "^'^they  turned  back 
and  tempted  God,  and  ''limited 
the  Holy  One  of  Ls'ra-el. 

42  They  'remembered  not  his 
hand,  nor  the  day  when  he  "de- 
livered them  from  the  enemy. 

43  How  he  had  wrought  his 
"signs  in  "E'gypt,  and  his  won- 
ders in  the  field  of  ^Zo'an: 

44  And  had  turned  their  rivers 
into  *blood;  and  their  floods, 
that  they  could  not  drink. 

45  He  sent  divers  sorts  of  '^flies 
among  "them,  which  devoured

stroyed them. 

46  He  gave  also  their  increa.se

labour  unto  the  "locust. 

47  He  destroyed  their  *'vines 
with  "'hail,  and  their  ^sycomore

48  He  gave  up  their  cattle  also

49  He  cast  upon  "them  the 
fierceness  of  his  ''anger,  wrath, 
and  indignation,  and  trouble,  ^by 
sending  evil  angels  among  them. 

50  He  made  a  way  to  his  ''an-

from  ^death,  but  gave  i\\z\v  life 
over  to  the  "pestilence;

so  that  they  feared  not:  but  the 
'sea  overwhelmed  their  enemies.

to  the  border  of  his  •'sanctuary, 
even  to  this  ^mountain,  which 
his  right  hand  had  purchased. 

55  He  ''cast  out  the  *■ 'heathen 
also  before  them,  and  divided 
them  ^an  inheritance  by  line, 
and  made  the  tribes  of  '"Ls'ra-el 
to  dwell  in  their  tents. 

56  Yet  "they  tempted  and  pro- 
voked the  most  high  God,  and 
"kept  not  his  testimonies: 

57  But  ''turned  back,  and  dealt 
^"unfaithfully  like  their  fathers: 
they  were  turned  aside  like  a 
deceitful  *bow. 

58  For  they  provoked  him  to 
'■■*anger  with  their  'high  places, 
and  moved  him  to  ^' ^jealousy 
with  their  graven  "images. 

59  When  God  heard  ^'fJti.s,  he 
was  ''wroth,  and  greatly  ab- 
horred '"I.s'ra-el: 

60  So  that  he  "'forsook  the  ^tab-

65  Then  the  Lord  ''awaked 
as  one  out  of  sleep,  and  like  a 
mighty  man  that  shouteth  by 
reason  of  wine. 

66  And  he  "smote  his  enemies 
in  the  hinder  parts:  he  put  them 
to  a  perpetual  reproach. 

07  INIoreover  he  refused  the 
''tabernacle  of  Jo'seph,  and 
'chose  not  the  tribe  of  ^E'phra- 
ira  : 

OS  But  chose  the  tribe  of  ^JQ'- 
dah,  the  mount  'Zl'on  which  he 
'"loved. 

09  And  he  built  his  '^sanctuary 
like  ^^high  palaces,  like  the  "earth 
which  he  hath  ^established  for 
ever. 

70  nie  V'hose  Da'vid  also  his 
servant,  and  ''took  *him  from  the 
sheepf  olds : 

71  From  following  the  ewes 
great  with  young  he  brought  him 
to  feed  Ja'cob  his  people,  and 
Ls'ra-el  his  inheritance. 

72  So  he  fed  them  according  to 
the  'integrit}'  of  his  heart;  and 
"guided  them  by  the  skilfulness 
of  his  hands. 

PSALM  79 

The  psalmist  complains  of  the  desolation  of 
Jerusalem.  8  He  prays  for  dciiverance, 
VA  and  promises  to  give  thanks  to  God. 

A  Psalm  of  Asaph. 

"■*A  GOD,  the  heathen  arc 
vy  come  into  thine  inherit- 
ance; thy  '^holy  ''temi)le  have 
they  defiled;  they  have  laid  Me- 
ni'sa-lem  on  heaps. 
2  'The  dead  bodies  of  thy  serv- 


ants have  they  given  io  be  meat 
unto  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,  the 
flesh  of  thy  saints  unto  the  beasts 
of  the  earth. 

3  'Their  blood  have  they  shed 
like  water  round  about  'Je-ni'- 
sfi-lem;  and  there  was  none  to 
bury  t  lie  in. 

4  "We  are  become  a  reproach  to 
our  neighbours,  a  scorn  and  de- 
rision to  them  that  are  round 
about  us. 

5  "'"How  long.  Lord?  wilt 
thou  be  ''•  'angry  for  ever  ?  shall

thee,  and  upon  the  kingdoms 
that  have  "not  called  upon  thy

7  For  they  have  devoured  Ja,'- 
cob,  and  laid  waste  his  dwelling 
place. 

8  "■''O  "remember  not  against 
"us  ^former  iniquities:  let  thy

The  psalmist  cries  to  God  for  Israel  in  dis-

14  God  entreated  to  return. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  aShoshannim-

"PIIVE  "^ear,  O  ''Shepherd  of 
VJ  ^I.s'ra-el,  thou  that  ^-  ^lead- 
est  Jo'seph  like  a  flock;  thou 
that  dwellest  "between  the  cher- 
ubims,   shine  forth. 

2  Before  'E'phrri-im  and  ^'Ben'-

thy  strength,  and  come  and  save 
us. 

3  '-"'Turn  ^•''us  again,  O  God, 


and  cause  thy  face  to  shine;  and 
we  shall  be  saved. 

4  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  how 
long  wilt  thou  be  "angry  against 
the  prayer  of  thy  people  ? 

5  ^Thou  feedest  them  with  the 
bread  of  tears;  and  givest  them 
tears  to  drink  in  great  measure. 

6  Thou  makest  us  a  ^strife  unto 
our  neighbours :  and  our  enemies 
laugh  among  themselves. 

7  ''Turn  '^■"us  again,  O  God 
of  hosts,  and  cause  thy  face  to

8  '■'^Thou  hast  brought  a  ^-'vine 
out  of  "E'gypt:  thou  hast  cast 
out  the^'  ^'heathen,  and  planted  it. 

9  Thou  '■preparedst  room  be- 
fore "^''it,  and  didst  cause  it  to 
take  deep  root,  and  it  filled  the 
'"land. 

10  The  hills  were  covered  with 
the  shadow  of  it,  and  the  boughs 
thereof  were  like  the  ^goodly  ce- 
dars. 

11  She  sent  out  her  boughs 
unto  the  sea,  and  her  branches 
unto  the  ^-  ^river. 


12  Why  hast  thou  then  broken 
down  her  hedges,  so  that  all  they 
which  pass  by  the  way  do  pluck 
her? 

13  The  2/boar  out  of  the  wood 
doth  waste  it,  and  the  wild  beast 
of  the  field  doth  devour  it. 

14  'Return,  we  beseech  thee,  O 
God  of  hosts:  look  down  from 
heaven,  and  behold,  and  visit 
this  vine; 

15  And  the  vineyard  which  thy 
right  hand  hath  planted,  and  the 
''branch  that  thou  madest  strong 
for  thyself. 

16  It  is  burned  with  fire,  it  is 
cut  down:  they  perish  at  the  re-

17  Let  thy  hand  be  upon  the 
man  of  thy  right  hand,  upon  the 
son  of  man  whom  thou  madest 
strong   for   thyself.

PSALM  84 

The  psalmist  longs  for  the  communion  of 
the  sanctuary;  4  shews  how  blessed  are 
they  that  dwell  therein.  8  He  prays  to  be 
restored  unto  it. 

To   the   chief   Musician  upon  "Gittith,  A 
Psalm  for  the  sons  of  Korah. 

HOW  ''amiable  are  thy  taber- 
nacles, O  Lord  of  hosts  ! 
2  My  soul  '^longeth,  yea,  even 
fainteth  for  the  '^•''courts  of  the 
Lord  :     my    ^heart    and    my 


flesh    '^crieth  out  for  the  living 
God. 

3  Yea,  the  *sparrow  hath  found 
an  house,  and  the  ^swallow  a 
nest  for  herself,  where  she  may 
lay  her  young,  even,  thine  altars, 
O  Lord  of  hosts,  my  "King, 
and  my  God. 

4  ''Blessed  are  they  that  dwell 
in  thy  house:  they  will  be  still 
'•'praising  thee.  [Se'lah.

7  They  ^go  from  strength  to

8  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  hear

A  Messianic  Psalm  foreshadowing  the  un-

or  Church  of  Christ,  the  use  of  whose 
inspiring  numbers  in  public  worship

PSALM  89 

The  psalmist  recounts  the  mercy  and  faith- 
fulness of  God  in  his  covenant  made  with 
David;  38  but  complains  that  he  had  cast 
off  his  anointed  4fi  and  implores  Mm  to 
have  mercy. 

■"Maschll  of  Ethan  the  Ezrahlte. 

A  Messianic  Psalm  In  which  the  Inspired 
poet  rehearses  the  covenant  of  God  with 
David  that  his  seed  should  be  estab- 
lished upon  the  throne  of  universal  and 
everlastlnp  empire,  vs.  3.  4,  29,  34-37. 
This  promised  seed,  the  Rlorlous  King,  is 
the  ••tirst-born,  higher  than  the  kings  of 
the  earth,"  v.  27.  The  angel  Gabriel  in 
his  message  to  Mary  concerning  Jesus 
savs,  "He  shall  be  great,  and  shall  be 
called  the  son  of  the  Most  High,  and  the 
Lord  God  shall  give  unto  him  the  throne 
of  his  father  David,  and  he  shall  reign 
over  the  house  of  Jacob  for  ever:  and  of 
his  kingdom  there  shall  be  no  end." 
(Luke  1:32,33.)  Messianic  psalms  such 
as  this  one  arose,  by  divine  inspiration, 
above  the  themes  of  the  occasion  of 
their  writing,  to  the  sublime  theme  of 
which  the  occasion  was  a  type,  and  the 
poet  set  in  musical  measures  the  more 
glorious  truths  of  the  Messiah's  King- 
dom of  which  there  shall  be  no  end.

2  Before  tlie  mountain.s  were 
brouglit  forth,  or  ever  thou  hudst 
''formed  the  ''earth  and  the 
world,  even  from  ''everhi.sting  to 
everlasting,  thou  ari  God. 

3  Thou  'turnest  man  to  de- 
struction; and  sayest,  Return,  ye 
children  of  men. 

4  For  a  thousand  ^years  in  thy 
sight  are  but  as  yesterday  when 
it  is  past,  and  as  a  watch  in  the 
night. 

5  Thou  ''carriest  them  away  as 
with  a  'flood;  they  are  as  a  sleep: 
in  the  morning  they  are  like 
^grass  whicJi,  groweth  up. 

6  In  the  morning  ''•■'it  flour- 
isheth,  and  groweth  up;  in  the 
evening  it  is  cut  down,  and  with- 
ereth. 

7  For  we  are  ^consumed  by 
thine  'anger,  and  by  thy  wrath 
are  we  troubled. 

8  Thou  hast  '"set  our  "iniciuities 
before  thee,  our  secret  sins  in  the 
light  of  thy  countenance. 

9  For  all  owy  *days  are  passed 
away  in  thy  wrath:  we  'spend 
our  years  as  a  tale  that  is  told. 

10  The  days  of  our  years  are 
"'^threescore  years  and  ten;  and 
if  by  reason  of  strength  tJiey 
be  fourscore  years,  yet  is  tlieir 
^strength  labour  and  sorrow;  for 
''it  is  soon  cut  oft",  and  we  fly 
away. 

11  Who  knoweth  the  power  of 
thine  'anger?  ^even  according 
to  thy  ^fear,  so  is  thy  wrath. 

12  So  '■•"teach  us  to  number  our 
days,  that  we  may  *apply  our 
hearts  unto  'wisdom. 

13  Return,  O  Lord,  how 
long?  and  let  it  "-^repent  thee 
concerning  thy  servants. 

14  O  satisfy  us  •early  with  thy 
"'mercy;  that  we  may  rejoice  and 
be  glad   all  our  days. 

15  ^Make  us  glad  according  to 
the  days  wherein  thou  hast  af- 
flicted us,  and  the  years  wherein 
we  have  seen  evil. 


16  Let  tiiy  work  appear  unto 
thy  servants,  and  tliy  "gk)ry  unto 
their  children. 

17  And  let  (he  'n)eauty  of  the 
Lord  our  (iod  be  upon  us:  and 
establish  thou  the  "work  of  our 
hands  upon  us;  yea,  the  work  of 
our  hands  establish  thou  it.

The  psalmist  exhorts  to  pro  Isc  God,  4  for  his 
great  works.  6  for  his  Judgments  on  tiic 
icicked.  10  and  for  his  goodness  to  the 
righteous 

A  Psalm  or  wSonij  for  the  sabbrth  day. 

TT    is   a   good    tiling    to    give 
"thanks  unto  the  Lord,  and 
to  ^sing  'praises  unto  thy  name, 
O  most  High: 

2  '*To  shew  forth  thy  ''loving- 
kindness  in  the  morning,  and  tliv 
''faithfulness   every   night. 

3  Upon  an  ''instrument  of  ten 
strings,  and  upon  the  "psaltery; 
upon  the  ''harp  with  a  solemn 
sound. 

4  For  thou,  Lord,  hast  made 
me  glad  through  thy  work:  I 
will  triumph  in  the  works  of 
thy   hands. 

5  O  Lord,  how  great  are  thy 
works  !  cmd  thy  ^thoughts  are 
very   deep. 

6  A  brutish  man  knoweth  not; 
neither  doth  a  fool  understand 
this. 

7  When  the  wicked  'spring  as 
the  grass,  and  when  all  the 
workers  of  iniquity  'do  flourish ; 
it  is  that  they  shall  be  ^'^ de- 
stroyed for  ever: 


8  But  thou,  Lord,  art  most 
high    '"for    evermore. 

9  For,  lo,  thine  enemies,  O 
Lord,  for,  lo,  thine  enemies 
shall  perish;  all  the  workers  of 
ini([uity  shall  be  ^'scattered. 

10  But  "my  "horn  shalt  thou 
exalt  like  the  horn  of  'an  ''uni- 
corn: I  shall  be  'anointed  with 
fresh  oil. 

11  ^Sline  eye  also  shall  see  my 
desire  on  mine  enemies,  and 
mine  ears  shall  hear  my  desire 
of  the  wicked  that  rise  up 
against   me. 

12  ''The  righteous  shall  flourish 
like  the  *palm  tree:  he  shall  grow 
like  a  ^ cedar  in  "Lfib'a-non. 

13  Those  that  be  planted  in  the 
'house  of  the  Lord  shall  flourish 
in  the  courts  of  our  God. 

14  '^They  shall  still  bring  forth 
fruit  in  "'old  age;  they  shall  be 
-fat  and  floiu'ishing; 

15  To  shew  that  the  I>ord  is 
•''uiiright:  he  is  my  ^roek,  and 
there  is  ^no  unrighteousness  in 
him.

PSALM  96 

.1  n  exhortation  to  praise  God.  4  for  his  good- 
ness. 8  and  for  the  establishment  of  his 
kingdom  in  the  world. 

A  Messianic  Psalm.  The  inspired  poet,  ris- 
ing above  the  horizon  common  to  ethnic 
religions  and  breaking  over  the  disci- 
plinary customs  and  traditions  of  the 
narrow  Mosaic  re^gime,  sees,  with  a  di- 
vinely exalted  taith,  and  in  his  Inspired 
numbers  describes  tlic  widening  cycles 
of  the  true  religion,  emtjracing  all 
nations  of  the  earth.  The  Jehovah  of 
the  psalmist  becomes  the  triumphing 
Messiah  or  Christ  of  the  Gospel.  The 
heathen  shall  see  his  wonders  (v.  3), 
and  all  tiie  Ivindreds  of  the  eartii  shaii 
give  glory  to  his  name  fv.  7)  and 
worship  him  in  the  beauty  of  holiness 
(V.  9).  It  was  from  these  lofty  and  in- 
spiring psalms  of  praise  that  the  Messi- 
anic hope  of  Israel  grew  to  the  wide- 
spread expectation  that  prepared  Zach- 
ariah  and  I^lisabetli  and  Mary  and 
Simeon  and  Anna  for  the  coming  of  our 
Lord.

4  For  the  Lord  is  great,  and

'feared  above  all  gods. 

5  For  all  the  gods  of  the  "na- 
tions are  ■'idols:  but  the  Lord 
^'made  the  heavens. 

6  Honour  and  majesty  are  be- 
fore him:  strength  and  beauty 
are  in  his  'sanctuary. 

7  Give  unto  the  Lord,  O  ye 
kindreds  of  the  ^peo}jle,  give  un- 
to the  Lord  ''glory  and  strength. 

8  Give  unto  the  Lord  the

9  O  "'worship  the  Lord  in  the 
beauty  of  holiness:  'fear  before 
him,  all  the  earth. 

10  '■•''Say  among  the  ^heathen 
that  the  Lord  "reigneth:  the

eously. 

11  "Let  the  heavens  rejoice,  and 
let  the  earth  be  glad;  let  the  sea 
roar,  and  the  fulness  thereof. 

12  "Let  the  field  be  joyful,  and 
all  that  is  therein:  then  shall  all 
the  trees  of  the  wood  rejoice 

13  Before  the  Lord:  for  he

the  earth:  he  shall  judge  the

All  lands  exhorted  to  praise  God. 
A  Psalm  of  praise. 

"II/TAKE  a  ^joyful  noise  unto 
Aj-L     the  Lord,  all  ye  lands. 

2  Serve  the  I^ord  with  glad- 
ness: '^come  before  his  presence 
with  '^singing. 

3  Know  ye  that  the  Lord  he 
is  God:  it  {.•i  he  that  hath  *made 
'us,  and  'not  we  ourselves;  ire 
are  his  people,  and  the  ^'sheep  of 
''his  pasture. 

4  Enter  into  his  gates  with 
thanksgiving,  and  into  his 
'courts  with  "praise:  be  thankful 
unto  him,  and  bless  his  name. 

5  For  the  Lord  is  *good;  his 
'mercy  is  everlasting;  and  his 
^•'"truth  endureth  to  all  genera- 
tions. 

psal:m  101 

The  psalmist's  vow  and  profession  of  god- 
liniss. 

A  Psalm  of  David. 

I  WILL  sing  of  "mercy  and 
"judgment:    unto    thee,    O 
Lord,  will  I  sing. 

2  '^I  will  behave  myself  wisely 
in  a  perfect  way.  O  when  wilt 
thou  come  unto  me  ?  ''I  will  walk 
^within  my  house  with  a  ''perfect 
heart. 

3  I  will  set  no  Hvicked  thing 
before  mine  eyes:  I  ^hate  the 
''work  of  them  that  turn  aside; 
''?"i  shall  not  cleave  to  me. 

4  A  'froward  heart  ^shall  de- 
part from  me:  I  will  ^not  know 
a  wicked  person. 

5  Whoso  privily  '•^■'slandereth 
his  neighbour,  'him  will  I  cut  off: 
him  that  hath  an  high  look  and  a 
"'proud  heart  will  not  I  suffer. 

6  Mine  eyes  sliall  be  upon  the 


"faithful  of  the  land,  that  they 
may  dwell  with  me:  he  that 
walketh  in  a  ''perfect  way,  he 
shall  sen^e  me. 

7  'He  that  worketh  "deceit  shall 
not  dwell  within  my  house:  he 
that  telleth  'lies  shall  not  ^tarry 
in  my  sight. 

8  ■'•''I  will  early  ^destroy  all  the 
wicked  of  the  land;  that  I  may 
cut  off  all  wicked  doers  from  the 
city  of  the  Lord. 

PSALM  102 

The  prophet  makes  a  grievous  complaint. 
12  He  takes  comfort  in  the  eternity  and 
mercy  of  God. 

A  Prayer  of  the  afflicted,  when  he  Is  over- 
whelmed, and  pours  out  his  complaint 
before  the  Lord. 

HEAR  my  "•''prayer,  O  Lord, 
and  let  my  cry  come  un- 
to  thee. 

2  "Hide  not  thy  face  from  me  in 
the  day  when  I  am  in  ''trouble; 
incline  thine  ear  unto  me:  in 
the  day  when  I  call  answer  me 
speedily. 

3  For  "my  days  are  consumed 
like  smoke,  and  my  bones  are 
burned  as  'an  hearth. 

4  ''My  heart  is  smitten,  and 
withered  like  grass;  so  that  I 
forget  to  eat  my  bread, 

5  By  reason  of  the  voice  of 
my  groaning  my  bones  cleave 
to  my  ^skin. 

6  I  am  like  a  "pelican  of  the 
wilderness:  I  am  like  an  ''owl 
of  the  desert. 

7  I  ^watch,  and  am  as  a  'spar- 
row alone  upon  the  house  top. 

8  Mine  ^enemies  ''"'reproach 
me  all  the  day;  and  they  that 
are  mad  against  rne  ^are  sworn 
against  me. 

9  For  I  have  eaten  ashes  like 
bread,  and  mingled  my  drink 
with  weeping, 

10  Because  of  thine  'indigna- 
tion and  thy  wrath:  for  thou 
hast  lifted  me  up,  and  *cast  me 
down.

17  Where  the  "birds  make  their

9  Which  ^'■covenant  he  made 
with  "A'bra-ham,  and  his  ^oath 
unto  *I'.saac; 

10  And  confirmed  the  "same 
unto  '■Ja^cob  for  a  law,  and  to 
Is'ra-el  for  an  everlasting  cove- 
nant :

the  land  of  *Ca'naan,  the  lot  of 
your  inheritance: 

12  When  they  were  hut  a  few

and  strangers  in  it. 

13  When  they  went  from  one

"•'^'kings  for  their  sakes; 

15  Saying,  Touch  not  mine 
'"anointed,  and  do  my  ^proph- 
ets no  harm. 

IG  ]\Ioreover  he  called  for  a 
''famine  upon  the  land :  he  brake 
the  whole  staff  of  bread. 

17  He  ''^sent  a  man  before 
them,  even  "Jo'.seph,  who  was 
sold  for  a   servant: 

18  ''Whose  feet  they  hurt  with 
^fetters:  he  was  laid  in  ''iron:

20  The  *king  sent  and  loosed

and  let  him  go  free. 

21  *He  made  "him  lord  of  his 


house,  and  ruler  of  all  his  sub-

30  Their  land  brought  forth 
*•  "frogs  in  abundance,  in  the 
chambers  of  their  kings.

in  all  their  coasts.

33  He  "smote  their  vines  also 
and  their  ''fig  trees;  and  brake 
the  trees  of  their  coasts. 

34  He  spake,  and  the  "■'^locusts 
came,  and  -'"caterpillers,  and 
that  without  number, 

35  And  did  eat  up  all  the  herbs 
in  their  land,  and  devoured  the 
fruit  of  their  ground. 

36  He  "smote  also  all  the  "^first- 
born  in  ''their  land,  the  chief  of 
all  their  strength. 

37  He  ''brought  "them  forth 
also  with  '''^silver  and  'gold:  and 
there  was  not  one  feeble  person 
among  their  tribes.

the  '"waters  gushed  out;  they  ran 
in  the  dry  places  like  a  river. 

42  For  he  ^remembered  his 
holy  promise,  and  ^■''A'bra-ham 
his  servant. 

43  And  he  'brought  forth  his 
people  with  joy,  and  his  chosen 
with  ^gladness : 

44  And  gave  them  the  lands  of 
the^'^heathen:  and  they  inherited 
the  labour  of  the  people; 

45  That  they  might  observe 
his  statutes,  and  keep  his  'laws.

*give  thanks  unto  the  Lord; 
for  he  is  "^good:  for  his  '^mercy 
endureth  for  ever. 

2  Who  can  utter  the  mighty 
acts  of  the  Lord  ?  who  can  shew 
forth  all  his  "praise  ? 

3  '^Blessed  are  'they  that  keeji

'^righteousness  at  all  times. 

4  Remember  me,  O  Lord,  with 
the  favour  ihct  iltnn  hear  est  nnto 
thy  ])eople:  O  visit  me  with  thy 
salvation ; 

5  That  I  may  see  the  good  of 
thy  chosen,  that  I  may  rejoice  in 
the  gladness  of  thy  nation,  that  I 
may  glory  with  thiiu;  inherit- 
ance. 

G  ''•^We  have  sinned  with  our 
fathers,  we  have  committed  in- 
iquity, we  have  done  wickedly. 


7  Our  fathers  'understood  not 
thy  ''wonders  in  'E'gypt;  '"they 
remeinbcrediiotthe  multitude  of 
thy ''mercies;  but  'provoked  him 
at  the  sea,  even  at  the  "Red  sea. 

8  Nevertheless  he  ''saved  them 
*for  his  name's  sake,  "that  he 
might  make  his  mighty  ''power 
to  be  known. 

9  He  rebuked  tlie  "Red  sea 
also,  and  it  was  "dried  up:  so 
he  led  them  through  tiie  de})ths, 
as  through  the  wilderness. 

10  And  he  ''saved  them  from 
the  hand  of  him  that  ''hated 
them,  and  redeemed  them  from 
the  hand  of  the  enemy. 

11  And  the  waters  "covered 
their  ''enemies:  there  was  not 
one  of  them  left. 

12  "Then  believed  they  his 
words;  they  sang  his  'Upraise. 

13  *They  soon  'forgat  his 
works;  they  waited  not  for  his 
counsel: 

14  But  ^'lusted  exceedingly  in 
the  wilderness,  and  tem})tcd 
God  in  the  desert. 

15  And  he  gave  them  their 
"request;  but  sent  leanness  into 
their  soul. 

IG  They  "'envied  ^Md'.ses  also 
in  the  camp,  and  ''Aar'on  the 
saint  of  the  Lord. 

17  The  earth  opened  and  swal- 
lowed up  ^Da'than,  and  covered 
the  com})any  of  "A-bl'ram. 

18  And  a  fire  was  kindled 
in  their  company;  the  flame 
''burned  up  the  wicked. 

19  They  made  a  '^calf  in  "Ho'- 
reb,  and  "worshipped  the  molten 
image. 

20  Thus  they  changed  their 
glory  into  the  ''similitude  of  an 
ox  that  eateth  grass. 

21  They  '-^forgat  God  their 
''saviour,  w^hich  had  done  great 
'things  in  'E'gypt;

the  ^Red  sea. 

23  Therefore  he  said  that  he 
would  ^destroy  them,  had  not 
'"Mo'ses  his  chosen  "stood  be- 
fore him  in  the  breach,  to  turn 
away  his  "wrath,  lest  he  should 
destroy  them. 

24  Yea,  they  despised  thepleasant 
land,  they  ^believed  not  his  word : 

25  But  ^murmured  in  their 
tents,  and  ''hearkened  not  unto 
the  voice  of  the  Lord. 

26  Therefore  he  "lifted  up  his 
hand  ^against  *them,  to  over- 
throw them  in  the  wilderness: 

27  To  ''overthrow  their  seed 
also  among  the  nations,  and  to 
scatter  them  in  the  lands. 

28  They  joined  themselves  also 
unto  ^Ba'al-pe'or,  and  ate  the 
sacrifices  of  the  dead. 

29  Thus  they  jjrovoked  him. 
to  "anger  with  their  ^inventions: 
and  the  '^'■'"plague  brake  in  upon 
them. 

30  Then  ^stood  up  Thin'e-has, 
and  ^executed  judgment:  and  so 
the  "plague  was  stayed. 

31  And  that  was  counted  unto 
him  for  "righteousness  unto  all 
ixenerations  for  evermore. 

32  They  angered  him  also  at  the 
''waters  of  strife,  so  that  it  went 
ill  with  Md'ses  for  their  sakes: 

33  Because  they  ^provoked  his 
spirit,  so  that  he  spake  unad- 
visedly with  his  lips. 

34  They  '^did  not  destroy  the 
nations,  concerning  whom  the 
Lord  commanded  them: 

35  But  were  '^mingled  among 
the  ''heathen,  and  learned  their 
works. 

36  And  they  ^served  their  idols: 
which  were  a  snare  unto  them. 

37  Yea,  they  ''sa<;rificed  their 
''sons  and  their  ''daughters  unto 
^•^devils, 

38  And  shed  innocent  blood, 
even    the   blood   of    their  ''sons 


and  of  their  ''daughters,  whom 
they  "sacrificed  unto  the  idols  of 
Ca'naan:  and  the  land  was  pol- 
luted with  blood. 

39  Thus  were  they  defiled  with 
their  own  works,  and  went  a 
whoring  with  their  own  "inven- 
tions. 

40  ^Therefore  was  the  wrath  of 
the  Lord  kindled  against  his 
people,  insomuch  that  he  ab- 
horred his  own  inheritance. 

41  And  he  ''gave  them  into  the 
hand  of  the  'heathen;  and  they 
that  hated  them  ruled  over 
them. 

42  Their  enemies  also  'op- 
pressed them,  and  they  were 
brought  into  subjection  under 
their  hand. 

43  Many  times  did  he  '"'"de- 
liver them;  but  they  ^provoked 
Jiim  with  their  counsel,  and  were 
"brought  low  for  their  iniquity. 

44  Nevertheless  he  regarded 
''their  'affliction,  when  he  '^heard 
their  cry: 

45  And  he  ^remembered  for 
them  his  'covenant,  and  *■  "re- 
pented according  to  the  multi- 
tude of  his  mercies. 

46  He  made  them  also  to  be 
pitied  of  all  those  that  carried 
them  "captives. 

47  "Save  ^us,  O  Lord  our  God, 
and  gather  us  from  among  the 
'heathen,  to  give  thanks  unto  thy 
holy  name,  and  to  triumph  in 
thy  ""praise. 

48  "'Blessed  be  the  Lord  God 
of  Ls'ra-el  from  everlasting  to 
everlasting:  and  let  all  the  peo- 
ple say,  Amen.  Praise  ye  the

3  And  gathered  them  out  of

into  dry  ground;

35  He  '•^turneth  the  wilderness

36  And  there  ^'■'he  maketh  the

37  And  sow  the  fields,  and  plant 
"vineyards,  which  may  yield

that  they  are  "multiplied  greatly;

decrease. 

39  Again,  they  are  minished 
and  brought  low  through  ^op-

40  He  poureth  contempt  upon 
princes,  and  causeth  them  to 
wander  in  the  wilderness,  where 
there  is  no  way. 

41  '^Yet  setteth  he  the  poor  on

Jtim,  "families  like  a  flock. 

42  The  righteous  shall  see  it, 
and  rejoice:  and  all  iniquity  shall

of  the  Lord. 

PSALIM  108 

The  psalmist's  purpose  to  praise  God.  5 
He  recalls  his  promises,  10  and  trusts  in 
his  help. 

A  Psalm  or  Song  of  David. 

OGOD,  «my  *heart  is  ^fixed;  I 
will  sing  and  give  'Upraise, 
even  with  my  glory. 
2  Aw^ake,  ^'^psaltery  and'^-^harp: 
I  myself  will  awake  early. 


3  I  will  'Upraise  thee,  O  Lord, 
among  the  people:  and  I  will 
sing  praises  unto  thee  among  the 
nations. 

4  For  thy  ''mercy  is  great 
above  the  heavens:  and  thy 
'truth  reacheth  unto  the  clouds. 

5  '^Be  thou  exalted,  O  God, 
above  the  heavens:  and  thy 
'glory  above  all  the  earth; 

6  That  thy  beloved  may  be 
delivered:  '^'save  with  thy  right 
hand,  and  answer  me. 

7  God  hath  spoken  in  his  'holi- 
ness; I  will  rejoice,  I  will  divide 
'"She'chem,  and  mete  out  the 
valley  of  "Siic'coth. 

8  "GiFe-ad  is  mine;  ^'INIa-nas'- 
seh  is  mine;  ^E'phra-im  also 
is  the  ^strength  of  mine  head; 
'■Ju'dah  is  my  ^lawgiver; 

9  *M5'ab  i^  my  washpot;  over 
'E'dom  will  I  cast  out  my  shoe; 
over  "Phi-lTs'tia  will  I  triumph. 

10  Who  will  bring  me  into  the 
^strong  city  ?  who  will  lead  me 
into  'E'dom  ? 

11  Wilt  not  thou,  O  God,  who 
hast  cast  us  oft'  ?  and  wilt  not 
thou,  O  God,  go  forth  with  our 
hosts  ? 

12  ''Give  us  help  from  trou- 
ble: for  ^vain  'is  the  help  of 
man. 

13  ^Through  God  Ave  shall  do 
valiantly:  for  he  it  is  that  shall 
^tread  down  our  enemies. 

PSALIM  109 

The  psalmist  complains  of  his  slanderous

17  *As  he  loved  cursing,  so

PSALM  110 

The  kingdom,  4  the  priesthood,  5  and  the 
triumphs  of  the  Messiah. 

A  Psalm  of  David. 

A  Messianic  Psalm  in  which  David,  under 
the  inspiration  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  writes 
a  song-  in  celebration  of  the  sovereign 
and  priestly  offices  of  the  future  Mes- 
siah, who,  according  to  tlie  divine  cove- 
nant, will  establish  an  everlasting  throne 
in  Zion.  In  poetic  measures  he  de- 
scribes the  glad  offering  of  the  people  to 
Him  who  shall  come  in  the  beauties  of 
holiness  (v.  3)  to  an  everlasting  media- 
torship  (v.  4),  to  universal  dominion 
(v.  5),  and  as  judge  among  the  nations 
(V.  6).  The  Identity  of  the  Messiah  de- 
scribed in  this  psalm  with  Jesus  is  certi- 
fied to  by  Jesus  liimself  in  Matt.  22:41- 
45;  Mark  12:35-37;  Luke  20:41-44. 


"^rpHE    Lord    said    unto    my 
-L      ''-''Lord,  Sit   thou  at   my 
*right  hand,  ''until  I  make  thine 
enemies  thy  ''foot.stool. 

2  The  Lord  shall  send  the 
rod  of  thy  strength  out  of  Zi'on : 
''rule  thou  in  the  midst  of  thine 
enemies. 

3  ''Thy  peo])le  h'hall  be  willing 
in  the  day  of  thy  ''})ower,  in  the 
^beauties  of  ''holiness  from  the 
womb  of  the  morning:  thou  hast 
the  'dew  of  thy  youth. 

-1  The  Lord  hath  sworn,  and 
'will  not  repent,  ^''Thou  art  a 
'"priest  for  ever  after  the  order 
of  "Mel-chiz'e-dek. 

5  The  Lord  at  thy  right  hand 
shall  strike  through  kings  in  the 
day  of  his  wrath. 

6  He  shall  "judge  among  the 
"heathen,  he  shall  fill  the  places 
with  the  dead  bodies;  he  shall 
^wound  the  heads  over  many 
countries. 

7  He  shall  drink  of  the  brook  in 
the  way:  therefore  shall  he  lift 
up  the  head. 

PSALM  111 

The  psalmist  exhorts  men  to  praise  God  for 
his  wonderful  works.  10  The  fear  of  the 
Lord  is  the  beginning  of  wisdom. 

'^•"pRAISE  ye  the  Lord.  I 
-L  will  praise  the  Lord  with 
mij  whole  heart,  in  the  ^' '^assem- 
bly of  the  upright,  and  in  the 
congregation. 


2  The  ''works  of  the  Lord  are 
great,  sought  out  of  all  them  that 
have  pleasure  therein. 

3  His  ''work  is  honourable  and 
glorious:  and  his  '"righteousness 
endureth  for  ever. 

4  He  hath  made  his  wonderful 
''works  to  be  remembered:  the 
'Lord  is  gracious  and  full  of 
compassion. 

5  He  hath  ''given  ''''meat  un- 
to them  that  'fear  him:  he  will 
*ever  be  mindful  of  his  'cov- 
enant. 

6  He  hath  shewed  his  people 
the  "'power  of  his  ''works,  that 
he  may  give  them  the  heritage 
of  the  ^heathen. 

7  The  works  of  his  hands  are 
"verity  and  "judgment;  all  his 
^commandments  are  sure. 

8  They  stand  fast  for  ever  and 
ever,  and  are  done  in  "truth  and 
''uprightness. 

9  He  sent  ''redemption  unto 
his  people:  he  hath  commanded 
his  'covenant  for  ever:  *holy  and 
reverend  is  his  'name. 

10  The  "fear  of  the  Lord  is 
the  beginning  of  ^wisdom:  a 
good  understanding  have  all 
they  that  "'do  his  command- 
ments: his  ''praise  endureth  for 
ever. 

PSALM  112 

Tlie  blessedness  of  the  man  that  fears  the 
Lord.  10  The  desire  of  the  wicked  shall 
perish. 


J-  ''•'^Blessed  is  the  ''man  that 
^feareth  the  Lord,  that  Melight- 
eth  greatly  in  his  "command-

2  His  ''seed  shall  be  mighty  up-

upright  shall  be  blessed.

An  exhortation  to  praise  God  for  his  excel-

PRAISE  ye  the  Lord.  Praise, 
O  ye  servants  of  the  T.,ord, 
praise  the  ''name  of  the  Lord. 

2  "Blessed  be  the  ''name  of  the 
Lord  from  this  time  forth  and

3  From  the  rising  of  the  sun 
unto  the  going  down  of  the

4  The  Lord  is  'high  above  all

PSALM  114 

The  psalmist  recounts  the  mighty  works  of 
God  in  behalf  of  Israel. 

WHEN  "I.s'ra-el  went  out  of 
"E'gypt,  the  house  of  Ja'cob 
from  a  people  of  strange  '^lan- 
guage; 

2  Ju'dah  was  his  sanctuary, 
and  Ls'ra-el  his  dominion. 

3  The  ''sea  saw  it,  and  fled: 
''Jor'dan  w^as  driven  back. 

4  The  mountains  skipped  like 
rams,  a7id  the  little  hills  like 
lambs. 

5  What  ailed  thee,  ( )  thou  ''sea, 
that  thou  fleddcst?  thou  Mor'- 
dan,  that  thou  wast  driven  back  ? 

6  Ye  mountains,  that  ye  skip- 
ped like  rams;  and  ye  little  hills, 
like  lambs? 

7  Tremble,  thou  earth,  at  the 
'presence  of  the  Lord,  at  the 
presence  of  the  God  of  Ja'cob; 

8  Which  turned  the  "rock  i?ito  a 
^standing  ''water,  the  'flint  into 
a  fountain  of  waters.

God's  name  is  to  he  glorified.  4  The  vanity

12  He  will  bless  those  who  fear  him. 

NOT  unto  us,  O  Lord,  not 
unto  us,  but  unto  thy

and  for  thy  ''truth's  sake. 

2  Wherefore  shouhl  the  'heath-

Israel's  deliverances,  5  and  prayer  that  the 
haters  of  Zion  may  be  confounded. 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

MANY  a  time  have  "they  *af- 
flicted  me  from  my  youth, 
may   ''Is'ra-el   now  say: 

2  j\Iany  a  time  have  '^they  ''af- 
flicted me  from  my  youth:  yet 
they  have  not  prevailed  against 
me. 

3  The  plowers  plowed  upon 
my  back:  they  made  long  their 
furrows. 

4  The  Lord  is  '^righteous:  he 
hath  ^cut  asunder  the  cords  of 
the  wicked. 

5  ''Let  them  all  be  confounded 
and  turned  back  that  hate 
^Zfon. 

6  Let  them  be  as  the  '^grass 
upon  the  housetops,  which  with- 
ereth  afore  it  groweth  up: 

7  Wherewith  the  *mower  filleth 
not  his  hand;  nor  he  that  %ind- 
edi  sheaves  his  bosom. 

8  Neither  do  they  which  go  by 
say,  ^The  blessing  of  the  Lord 
be  upon  you:  we  bless  you  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord. 

PSALISI  130 

The  psalmist's  confidence  in  God,  7  and  ex-

A  Song  of  degrees. 

OUT  of  the  «' "depths  have  I 
'^crled  unto  thee,  O  Lord. 

2  ''Lord,  hear  my  voice:  let 
thine  ears  be  attentive  to  the 
voice  of  my  supplications. 

3  ''•'^•'If  thcu,  Lord,  shouldest 
^mark  iniquities,  O  Lord,  "who 
shall  stand  ? 

4  But  there  is  ''forgiveness 
with  thee,  that  thou  mayest  be 
'feared. 

5  I  %ait  for  the  Lord,  my  soul 
doth  wait,  and  in  his  '^vord  do  I 
'■'"hope. 

6  My  soul  hoaiieth  for  the 
Lord  more  than  they  that  watch 


for  the  morning:  I  say,  more 
than  they  that  watch  for  the 
morning. 

7  "Let  Is'ra-el  'hope  in  the 
Lord:  for  with  the  Lord  there 
is  ^mercy,  and  with  him  is  plen-

from  all  his  iniquities. 

PSALM  131 

The  psalmist   professes  his  hnmllity.  and 
exhorts  Israel  to  hope  in  God. 

A  Song  of  degrees  of  David. 

LORD,  "my  heart  is  not 
haughty,  nor  mine  eyes 
lofty:  neither  do  I  exercise  my- 
self in  great  matters,  or  in  things 
too  high  for  me. 

2  Surely  I  have  ^behaved  and 
fiuieted  myself,  as  a  child  that  is 
''weaned  of  his  mother:  my  soul 
is  even  as  a  weaned  child. 

3  ^Let  Is'ra-el  ''hope  in  the

ever. 

PSALM  132 

David's  seal  for  the  house  of  God  commend- 
ed. 8  A  prayer  at  the  removing  of  the 
ark.  1 1  God's  promises  to  David,  13  and 
to  Zion. 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

A  Messianic  Psalm.  In  three  parts,  proba- 
bly used  responsively  in  the  tabernacle 
service.  The  first  part,  vs.  1-5,  was 
probably  a  solo  by  the  leader.  The  sec- 
ond part,  vs.  6-10,  was  sung  by  the 
whole  choir.  The  third,  vs.  11-17,  was 
a  solo,  pi-obably.  Impersonating  Jehovah 
answering  the  prayer.  The  opening  so- 
lo rehearses  David's  zeal  for  a  temple 
(1  Sam.  7:1-13),  then  the  people  rejoice 
in  divine  worship  (v.  7) ,  and  pray  for 
priests  and  people  (v.  9) .  and  that  the 
anointed,  the  Messianic  hope,  be  not 
taken  away;  that  Is,  that  the  covenant 
promise  to  David  that  the  Messiah  shall 
establish  an  everlasting  Ifingdom  shall 
not  be  forfeited  in  this  time  of  Zion's 
desolation.  The  poem  closes  with  the 
promise  from  Jehovah  to  keep  his  cove- 
nant (vs.  11.  12),  to  dwell  in  Zion  (the 
church)  (vs.  13,  14),  to  clothe  her 
priests  (ministers)  with  salvation,  and 
fill  the  saints  with  joy  and  establish  the 
Messiah  with  a  kingly  crown,  who  shall 
flourish  and,  according  to  the  covenant, 
have  a  kingdom  of  which  there  will  be 
no  end  (1  Chr.  17  :11-14).  The  sublime 
imagery  In  the  Psalm  finds  its  fulfillment 
in  the  spiritual  kingdom  of  Christ  and 
its  wonderful  conquest  of  the  world  to 
the  knowledge  and  worship  of  the  true 
God.

The  psalmist  sets  forth  God's  omniscience 
and  omnipresence.  19  His  hatred  of  the 
wicked.  23  and  prayer  to  God. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

OLORD,  thou  hast  "searched 
me,  and  known  mc. 

2  Thou  "knowest  my  downsit- 
ting  and  mine  uprising,  thou  un- 
derstandest  my  ''thought  afar  off. 

3  Thou  'compassest  my  path 
and  my  lying  down,  and  art 
"acquainted  with  all  my  ways. 

4  For  there  is  not  a  word  in  m}- 
tongue,  but,  lo,  O  Lord,  thou 
"knowest  it  altogether. 

5  Thou  hast  beset  me  behind 
and  before,  and  laid  thine  hand 
upon  me. 

6  '^•''Such  "knowledge  is  too 
wonderful  for  me;  it  is  high,  I 
cannot  attain  unto  it. 

7  "Whither  shall  I  go  from  thy 
spiiit?  or  whither  shall  I  flee 
from  thy  ^presence  ? 

8  If  I  ascend  up  into  heaven. 


thou  art  ^-^there:  if  I  make  my 
bed  in  ^'^hell,  behold,  thou  art 
^■Hhere. 

9  7/1  take  the  wings  of  the 
morning,  and  dwell  in  the  utter- 
most parts  of  the  sea; 

10  Even  ^-'there  shall  thy  hand 
''lead  me,  and  thy  right  hand 
shall  hola  me. 

1 1  If  I  say.  Surely  the  darkness 
shall  :over  me;  ^even  the  night 
shall  be  light  about  me. 

12  *Yea,  "-^the  darkness  hideth 
not  from  thee;  but  the  night 
shineth  as  the  day:  the  darkness 
and  the  light  are  both  alike  to 
thee. 

13  For  'thou  hast  possessed  my 
reins:  thou  hast  covered  me  in 
my  mother's  womb. 

14  'I  will  praise  thee;  for  I 
am  fearfully  and  wonderfully 
^'■'made:  marvellous  are  thy 
'"works;  and  that  my  soul  know- 
eth  right  well. 

15  My  substance  "was  not  hid 
from  thee,  when  I  was  *made  in 
secret,  and  'curiously  wrought 
in  the  lowest  parts  of  the  earth. 

16  Thine  eyes  "did  see  my 
substance,  yet  being  unperfect; 
and  in  thy  *book  all  my  '"mem- 
bcrs  Avere  written,  which  in  con- 
tinuance were  fashioned,  when 
as  ijet  there  ivas  none  of  them. 

17  "How  precious  also  are  thy 
thoughts  unto  me,  O  God!  how 
great  is  the  sum  of  them! 

18  If  I  should  count  them,  they 
are  more  in  number  than  the 
sand:  when  I  awake,  I  am  still 
with  thee. 

19  Surely  thou  wilt  "slay  the 
wicked,  O  God:  ^depart  from 
me  therefore,  *ye  ''bloody  men.

"■^TiELIVER  me,   O  Lord, 
-L/     from  the  evil  man:  pre- 
serve me  from  the  violent  man; 

2  Which  '^imagine  mischiefs  in 
their  ''heart;  continually  are  they 
gathered  together  /or  war. 

3  They  have  sharpened  their 
'^'^■"tongues  like  a  ^serpent; 
*-%dders'  poison  is  under  their 
lips.  [SeHah. 

4  ''•''Keep  me,  O  Lord,  from 
the  hands  of  the  wicked;  pre- 
serve me  from  the  violent  man; 
who  have  purposed  to  *over- 
throw  my  goings. 

5  The  proud  have  hid  a 
*snare  for  me,  and  ^cords;  they 
have  spread  a  '"net  by  the 
wayside;  they  have  set  gins 
for  me.  [Se'lah. 

6  I  said  unto  the  Lord,  "Thou 
art  my  God:  "•''hear  the  voice  of 
my  supplications,  O  Lord. 

7  O  God  the  Lord,  the 
"strength  of  my  salvation,  thou

9  As  for  the  head  of  those  that 
compass  me  about,  ^let  the

10  ^Let  burning  coals  fall  upon

fire;  into  deep  pits,  that  they  rise 
not  up  again.

4  Incline  not  my  heart  to  any

works  with  "men  that  work 
inicjuity:  and  let  me  not  eat  of 
their  dainties. 

5  *Ix^t  the  righteous  smite  me; 
it  shall  be  a  kindness:  and  let 
him  'reprove  me;  it  shall  be 
'an  excellent  oil,  which  shall 
not  break  my  head:  for  yet 
my  prayer  also  shall  be  in  their 
calamities.

In  the  cave. 


I 


^•'^CRIED  unto  the  Lord 
with  my  voice;  with  my 
voice  unto  the  Lord  did  I  make 
my  supplication. 

2  I  '^poured  out  my  complaint 
before  him;  I  shewed  before  him 
my  "trouble. 

3  When  my  spirit  was  over- 
whelmed within  me,  then  thou 
"knewest  my  path.  In  the 
way  wherein  I  walked  have 
they  ^privily  laid  a  ^snare  for 
me. 

4  I  looked  on  my  right  hand, 
and  beheld,  but  there  was  no 
man  that  would  know  me:  re- 
fuge failed  me;  ''no  man  cared 
for  my  soul. 

5  I  ''cried  unto  thee,  O  Lord: 
I  said,  ''Thou  art  my  refuge 
and  my  portion  in  the  land  of 
the  living. 

6  *•'' Attend  unto  my  cry; 
for  I  am  brought  very  low: 
deliver  me  from  my  *persecu- 
tors;  for  they  are  stronger 
than    I. 

7  Bring  my  soul  out  of  prison, 
that  I  may  Upraise  thy  ^'name: 
the  righteous  shall  compass  me 
about;  for  thou  shalt  deal  boun- 
tifully with  me. 


PSALM  143 

The  psalmist  prays  for  mercy:  a  laments  his 
distress;  5  and  prays  for  deliverance  from 
his  enemies,  10  and  for  spiritual  guidance. 

A  Psalm  of  David. 

HEAR  my  'Sprayer,  O  Lord, 
give  ear  to  my  su{)plica- 
tions:  in  thy  ''faithfulness  an- 
swer me,  a7id  in  thy  ^righteous- 
ness. 

2  And  enter  not  into  judgment 
with  thy  servant:  '^•^for  in  ''thy 
sight  shall  no  man  living  be 
justified, 

3  "For  the  enemy  hath  ^-"perse- 
cuted my  soul;  he  hath  smitten 
my  life  down  to  the  ground;  he 
hath  made  me  to  dwell  in  'dark- 
ness, as  those  that  have  been 
long  dead. 

4  ^Therefore  is  my  spirit  over- 
whelmed within  me;  my  heart 
within  me  is  desolate. 

5  I  remember  the  days  of  old ;  I 
^meditate  on  all  thy  hvorks;  I 
muse  on  the  work  of  thy  hands. 

6  I  stretch  forth  my  hands 
unto  thee:  my  soul  ^'^thirst- 
eth  after  thee,  as  a  ^thirsty 
land.  [Se'lah. 

7  "Hear  me  speedily,  O  Lord: 
my  spirit  faileth:  hide  not  thy 
face  from  me,  lest  I  be  like  unto 
them  that  go  down  into  the 
pit. 

8  Cause  me  to  hear  thy  loving- 
kindness  in  the  morning;  for  in 
thee  do  I  ''trust:  ''"cause  me  to 
know  the  ^way  wherein  I  should 
walk;  for  I  lift  up  my  soul  unto 
thee.

10  '-"Teach  me  to  do  thy  will;

9  The  Lord  is  *good  to  all:  and 
his  tender  'mercies  are  over  all 
his  works. 

10  All  thy  ""works  shall  praise 
thee,  O  Lord;  and  thy  saints 
shall  bless  thee. 

11  They  shall  'speak  of  the 
glory  of  thy  kingdom,  and  talk 
of  thy  power; 

12  To  ^make  knowTi  to  the  sons 
of  men  his  ^mighty  acts,  and  the 
''glorious  majesty  of  his  king- 
dom. 

13  Thy  kingdom  is  an  "ever- 
lasting kingdom,  and  thy  do- 
minion "endureth  throughout  all 
generations. 

14  ''■niie  Lord  «upholdeth  all 
that  fall,  and  raiseth  up  all  those 
that  be  bowed  down. 

15  The  eyes  of  all  wait  up- 
on thee;  and  ^thou  ^givest  them 
their  ''•^meat  in  due  season. 

16  ^Thou  openest  thine  hand, 
and  *satisfiest  the  desire  of  every 
living  thing. 

17  The  Lord  is  ^righteous  in 
all  his  ways,  and  ^-'holy  in  all 
his  works. 

18  "•*'The  Lord  is  "'nigh  unto 
all  ^'  ^them  that  ^call  upon  him, 
to  all  that  call  upon  him  in 
"truth. 

19  He  will  fulfil  the  desire  of 
them  that  "fear  him:  he  also  will 
hear  their  cry,  and  will  ''save 
them. 

20  The  Lord  ''preserveth  all 
them  that  love  him:  but  all  the 
wicked  will  he  "^destroy. 

21  My  mouth  shall  speak  the 
^prai.se  of  the  Lord:  and  let  all 
flesh  bless  his  'holy  name  for 
ever  and  ever. 

PSALM  146 

The  psalmist  vows  perpetual  praises  to  God. 
3  He  exhorts  not  to  trust  In  man.  5  God.

dom, is  only  worthy  to  be  trusted. 

''PRAISE  ye  the  Lord.  Praise 
J-      the  Lord,  O  my  soul. 
2  While  *I  live  will  I  "prai.se 

the  Lord:   I  will  sing  praises 


unto  my  God  while  I  have  any 
being. 

3  Put  not  your  ""trust  in  princes, 
nor  in  the  son  of  man,  in  whom 
there  is  no  help. 

4  His  ''breath  goeth  forth,  he 
returneth  to  his  earth;  in  that 
very  day  his  thoughts  perish. 

5  '^•'Happy  is  he  that  hath  the 
God  of  Ja'cob  for  his  "help, 
whose  ''hope  is  in  the  Lord  his 
God: 

6  Which  hnade  'heaven,  and 
^'earth,  the  'sea,  and  all  that 
therein  is:  which  '"keepeth 
"•"truth  for  ever: 

7  Which  ^executeth  judgment 
for  the  ^oppressed :  which  ''giveth 
*food  to  the  'hungry.  The  Lord 
looseth  the  ''prisoners: 

8  The  Lord  openeth  the  eyes 
of  the  "blind:  the  Lord  rais- 
eth them  that  are  bowed  down: 
the  Lord  "'loveth  the  ^right- 
eous : 

9  The  Lord  ^preserveth  the 
^'strangers;  he  ^relieveth  the 
'fatherless  and  "widow:  but  the 
way  of  the  wicked  he  "turneth 
upside  down. 

10  The  ''Lord  shall  reign  for 
ever,  even  thy  God,  O  Zl'on,  un- 
to all  generations.  Praise  ye  the 
Lord.

down  to  the  ground. 

7  ''Sing  unto  the  Lord  with 
^thanksgiving;  sing  praise  upon

8  Who  "covereth  the  heaven 
with  "clouds,  who  prepareth 
"rain  for  tlie  earth,  who  inaketh 
grass  to  grow  upon  the  moun- 
tains. 

9  He  giveth  to  the  ^beast  his 
^food,  and  to  the  young  ravens 
which  cry. 

10  He  dehghtetli  not  in  tlie 
strength  of  the  horse:  he  taketh 
not  pleasure  in  the  legs  of  a  man. 

11  The  Lord  taketh  pleasure 
in  them  that  ^fear  him,  in  those 
that  "hope  in  his  ''mercy. 

12  ^Praise  the  Lord,  O  ''Je-

THE    "proverbs     of    ^•'SoVq 
raon    the   son  of  ''Da'vid, 
king  of  ^Is'ra-el; 

2  To  know  ''wisdom  and  "in-

of  understanding; 

3  To  receive  Hhe  "instruction 
of  ''wisdom,  ^justice,  and  judg- 
ment, and  ^equity; 

4  To  give  subtilty  to  the  sim- 
ple, to  the  *young  man  '^knowl- 
edge and  Miscretion. 

5  A  wise  man  will  hear,  and 
will  increase  ^learning;  and  a 
man  of  understanding  shall  at- 
tain unto  wise  'counsels: 

6  To  understand  a  '^proverb, 
and  "the  interpretation;  the 
words  of  the  wise,  and  their 
'"dark  sayings. 

7  T[  The  "fear  of  the  Lord  is 
the  beginning  of  knowledge: 
but  •''' "fools  ^despise  ''wisdom 
and  "instruction. 

8  My  *'^son,  ''hear  the  "in- 
struction of  thy  *father,  and 
forsake  not  the  law  of  thy 
'mother: 

9  For  they  sliall  be  ''an  orna-

let  us  ''lay  wait  for  blood,  let 
us  lurk  privily  for  the  innocent 
without  cause: 

12  Let  us  swallow  them  up 
alive  as  ^the  ''grave;  and  whole, 
as  those  that  go  down  into  the 
pit: 

13  ''We  shall  find  all  precious 
substance,  we  shall  fill  our 
houses  with  spoil: 

14  "Cast  in  thy  lot  "among  us; 
let  us  all  have  one  pui"se: 

15  My  *son,  ''■"walk  not  thou 
in  the  way  with  ''them;  refrain 
thy  foot  from  their  path: 

16  For  their  feet  run  to  evil, 
and  make  haste  to  ''shed  blood. 

17  ^Surely  in  vain  the  'net  is 
^'spread  in  the  sight  of  any  bird. 

18  And  they  lay  wait  for  their

'lamp;  and  the  law  is  '"light;  and 
reproofs  of  instruction  are  the 
way  of  "life: 

24  ^'P'lTo  keep  thee  from 
the  evil  ''•Voman,  from  the 
^flattery  of  the  tongue  of  a 
strange   woman. 

2.5  ''"Lust  not  after  her  •'•beauty 
in  thine  heart; neither  let  her  take 
thee  with  her  eyelids. 

26  For  ^by  means  of  a  ^whor- 
ish  woman  a  man  is  hronght  to 
a  piece  of  bread:  and  the  adul- 
teress will  hunt  for  the  precious 
life. 

27  'Can  a  man  take  fire  in  his 
bosom,  and  his  clothes  not  be 
burned  ? 

28  'Can  one  go  upon  hot  coals, 
and  his  feet  not  be  burned  ? 

29  So  he  that  "goetli  in  to 
his  neighbour's  wife;  who.so- 
ever  toucheth  her  shall  not  be 
^innocent. 

30  Men  do  not  despise  a  *'thief, 


if  he  "'steal  to  satisfy  his  soul 
when  he  is  ^hungry; 

31  But  i]  ''he  be  found,  he  shall 
^restore  ^sevenfold;  he  shall 
"give  all  the  substance  of  his 
house. 

32  B  lit  whoso  committeth  ''adul- 
tery with  a  woman  lackcth  un- 
derstanding: he  that  doeth  it 
''destroyeth  his  own  soul. 

33  '''''A  wound  and  dishonour 
shall  he  get;  and  his  reproach 
shall  not  be  wiped  away. 

34  For  "^jealousy  is  the  rage  of 
a  man:  therefore  he  will  not 
spare  in  the  day  of  vengeance. 

35  He  will  not  regard  any  '^ran- 
som; neither  will  he  rest  content, 
though  thou  givest  many  gifts. 

CHAPTER  7 

An  exhortation  to  keep  the  law,  and  thus 
avoid  the  enticements  of  the  strange  wo- 
man. 6  An  instance  of  a  voting  man  led 
astray.  24  The  young  exhorted  to  avoid 
such  snares. 

MY  "son,  ''•'^keep  my   words, 
and  lay  up  my  command- 
ments with  thee. 

2  "■''Keep  my  commandments, 
and  ''live;  and  my  law  as  the 
apple  of  thine  eye. 

3  "'"Bind  them  upon  thy  fin- 
gers, write  them  upon  the  table 
of  thine  heart. 

4  Say  unto  ''wisdom,  '^J"'hou  art 
my  sister;  and  call  understand- 
ing thy  kinswoman: 

5  That  they  may  keep  thee 
from  ''the  strange  ''woman,  from 
the  stranger  which  "flattereth 
with   her  words. 

6  ^  For  at  the  window  of  my 
'house  I  looked  through  my  case- 
ment, 

7  And  beheld  among  the  sim- 
ple ones,  I  discerned  among  the 
youths,  a  "young  man  '-^-'void 
of  understandinir.  '

S  Passing  through  the  street

the  way  to  her  'house, 

9  In  the  twilight,  in  the  even- 
ing, in  the  black  and  dark 
night: 

10  And,  behold,  there  met  him 
a  ''woman  with  the  attire  of  an 
*harlot,  and  "'subtil  of  "^heart. 

11  (*'''She  is  iloud  and  "stub-

house : 

12  Now  is  ^'^she  "without,  now 
in  the  ^streets,  and  lieth  in  wait 
at  every  corner.) 

13  So  *she  ^caught  him,  and 
"kissed  him,  and  with  an  impu- 
dent face  ''said  unto  him, 

14  */  have  ^peace  offerings

15  Therefore  came  *■"!  forth 
to  ^mcet  thee,  diligently  to  seek 
thy  face,  and  I  have  found  thee.

Sundry  Proverbs. 

WHOSO    loveth  instruction 
loveth  "knowledge:  but  he 
that  hateth  ''reproof  is  brutish. 

2  A  good  man  obtaineth  "^fa- 
vour of  the  Lord:  ''but  a  man 
of  wicked  devices  will  he  con- 
demn. 

3  A  ''man  shall  not  be  estab- 
lished by  wickedness:  but  '^the 
root  of  the  righteous  shall  not 
be  moved. 

4  A  virtuous  '-"woman  is  a 
croAvn  to  her  husband:  but  ''she 
that  maketh  ashamed  is  as  rot- 
tenness in  his  bones. 

5  The  thoughts  of  the  righteous 
are  right:  but  Hhe  ^counsels  of 
the  wicked  are  'deceit. 

6  ''The  Svords  of  the  wicked  are 
to  ^lie  in  wait  for  blood:  but  ''the 
'mouth  of  the  upright  shall  de- 
liver them. 

7  ''The  wicked  are '"overthrown, 
and  are  not:  but  ''the  "house  of 
the  righteous  shall  stand. 

8  A  man  shall  be  commended 
according  to  his  "wisdom:  ''but 
he  that  is  of  a  perverse  ''heart 
shall  be  despised. 

9  -lie  that  is  despised,  and  hath 
a  ^servant,  is  better  than  he  that 
''honoureth  himself,  and  *lacketli 
bread. 

10  A  righteous  man  '-"regard- 
eth  the  life  of  his  beast:  ''but  the 
tender  mercies  of  the  wicked  are 
"cruel. 

11  He  thaf'tilleth  his  land  shall 
be  satisfied  with  bread:  but  he 
that  'followeth  ''vain  persons  is 
void  of  understanding. 

12  The  wicked  desireth  the  'net 
of  evil  men:  but  the  root  of  the 
righteous  yieldeth  fruit. 

13  "The  wicked  is  snared  by 
the  tran.sgression  of  his  lips:  l)ut 


''•'^the   just   shall   come    out   of 
''trouble. 

14  A  man  shall  be  satisfied 
with  good  by  the  fruit  of  liis 
''mouth:  and  ^"the  ^recom{)ence 
of  a  man's  hands  shall  be  ren- 
dered unto  him. 

15  The  way  of  a  ''fool  ^-Us 
right  in  his  own  eyes:  but  he 
that  ^'hearkeneth  unto  *counscl 


IS  wise. 

IG  A  ''fool's  ''■'wrath  is  pres- 
ently known:  but  a  '"prudent 
man  ''covereth  shame. 

17  He  tJiat  speaketh  "truth 
sheweth  forth  righteousness:  but 
a  "false  witness  ^deceit. 

18  There  is  that  speaketh  "like 
the  piercings  of  a  sword:  but  the 
'^tongue  of  the  wise  is  health. 

19  The  lip  of  "truth  shall  be 
established  for  ever:  but  a  ''lying 
tongue  is  but  for  a  moment. 

20  ^•''Deceit  is  in  the  heart  of 
them  that  ^imagine  evil:  but  to 
the  counsellors  of  *peace  is  joy. 

21  "■'^There  shall  no  evil  hap- 
pen to  the  just:  ''but  the  wicked 
shall  be  filled  with  mischief. 

22  'Lying  lips  are  'abomination 
to  the  Lord:  but  they  that  d'-al 
"■"truly  are  his  delight. 

23  A  "'prudent  man  concealeth 
knowledge:  but  the  ""heart  of 
''fools  ^proclaimeth  foolislmess. 

24  The  hand  of  the  ''^ diligent 
shall  bear  rule:  but  the  "slothful 
shall  be  ^under  tribute. 

25  ''Heaviness  in  the  heart  of

Sundry  Proverbs. 

EVERY  "wise  woman  buildeth 
her  hou.se:  but  the  ''•'"foolish 
plucketh  it  down  with  her  hands. 

2  He  that  walketh  in  his  '^uj)- 
rightness  '"feareth  the  Lord:  but 
Hie  that  is  perverse  in  his  ways 
despi.seth  him. 

3  In  the  ''mouth  of  the  foolish 
is  a  rod  of  pride:  but  the  ''lips  of 
the  wise  shall  preserve  them. 

4  Where  no  *oxen  are,  the  'crib 
is  clean:  but  much  increase  is 
by  the  strength  of  the  ox. 

5  A  faithful  witness  will  not 
^lie:  but  a  'false  Avitness  will 
'"utter  lies. 

6  A  "scorner  seeketh  "wisdom, 
and  findeth  it  not:  but  ''knowl- 
edge is  ea.sy  unto  him  that  un- 
derstandeth. 

7  Go  'from  the  presence  of  a 
''foolish  man,  w^hen  thou  per- 
ccivest  not  in  him  the  lips  of 
knowledge. 

S  The  "wisdom  of  the  ^prudent 
is  to  understand  his  way:  but 
the  folly  of  ''fools  is  ''-Meceit. 

9  *Fools  make  a  'mock  at  "sin : 
l)ut  among  the  righteous  there  is 
favour. 

10  The  heart  knoweth  his  own 
bitterne-ss;  and  a  stranger  doth 
not  intermeddle  with  his  joy. 

11  "The  house  of  the  wicked 
shall  be  overthrown:  but  tlie 
tabernacle  of  the  upright  shall 
flourish. 


12  '"There  is  a  way  which 
^•^seemeth  right  unto  a  man,  but 
the  end  thereof  arc  the  ^ways  of 
"death. 

13  Even  in  ''laughter  the  heart 
is  sorrowful;  and  the  end  of  that 
"^mirth  is  heaviness. 

14  The  "^backslider  in  heart 
shall  be  filled  with  his  own  ways: 
and  a  good  man  shall  be  ^•^sat- 
isfied from  himself. 

15  The  '^simple  belicvcth  every 
word:  but  the  ^prudent  man 
looketh  well  to  his  going. 

16  A  ''wise  man  ^feareth,  and 
departeth  from  evil:  but  the  ^fool 
^rageth,  and  is  'confident. 

17  He  that  is  soon  *angry  deal- 
eth  foolishly:  and  a  man  of 
wicked  devices  is  hated. 

18  The  "simple  inherit  folly:  but 
the  ''prudent  are  crowned  with 
'knowledge. 

19  The  evil  bow  before  the 
good;  and  the  wicked  at  the 
gates  of  the  righteous. 

20  The  '"poor  is  hated  even  of 
his  own  neighbour:  but  the  "rich 
hath  many  "•''friends. 

21  ^He  that  despiseth  his  neigh- 
bour sinneth:  ''but  he  that  hath 
^•'•*^ ''mercy  on  the  "poor,  '"happy 
is  he. 

22  ''Do  they  not  err  that  devise 
evil  ?  but  *merey  and  ^truth  shall 
be  to  them  that  devise  good. 

23  In  all  "labour  there  is  profit: 
but  the  ^talk  of  the  lips  tcndeth 
only  to  "penury. 

24  The  crown  of  the  wise  is

of  ''fools  is  folly.

is  to  ^depart  from  evil:  he  that 
'keepeth  his  way  preserveth  his 
soul. 

18  *Pride  goetli  before  destruc- 
tion, and  an  haughty  spirit  be- 
fore a  fall. 

19  Better  it  is  to  he  of  an  "'hum- 
ble spirit  with  the  lowly,  than 
to  divide  the  spoil  with  the 
*■  "proud. 

20  He  that  ^handleth  a  mat- 
ter wisely  shall  find  good:  and 
"whoso  ^trusteth  in  the  Lord,

21  The  'wise  in  heart  shall  be 
called  ^prudent:  and  the  *sweet- 
ness  of  the  lips  increaseth  learn- 
ing- 

22  ^Understanding  is  a  well- 
spring  of  life  unto  him  that  hath 
it:  but  the  ^instruction  of  fools 
is  folly. 

23  The  heart  of  the  *wise 
teacheth  his  mouth,  and  addeth 
learning  to  his  lips. 

24  '^Pleasant  words  are  as  an 
honeycomb,  sweet  to  the  soul, 
and  health  to  the  bones. 

25  *There  is  a  way  that  'seem- 
eth  right  unto  a  man,  but  the  end 
thereof  are  the  ways  of  "death. 

20  'He  that  "laboureth  labour- 
eth  for  himself;  for  his  mouth 
"'craveth  it  of  him. 

27  *An  ungodly  man  diggeth 
up  evil:  and  in  his  ^lips  there  is 
as  a  burning  fire. 

28  A  froward  man  soweth

16  Wherefore  is  there  a  price  in 
the  hand  of  a  fool  to  get  ^wisdom, 
seeing  he  hath  'no  heart  to  itt 

17  A  '■friend  "-"loveth  at  all 
times,  and  a  "brother  is  born  for 
adversity. 

18  A  man  void  of  understand- 
ing "striketh  "hands,  and  becom- 
eth  ^surety  in  the  presence  of  his 
friend. 

19  He  loveth  transgression  that 
loveth  'strife:  and  he  that  ^exalt- 
cth  his  gate  seeketh  ciestruction. 

20  He  that  hath  a  froward 
'heart  findeth  no  good:  and  he 
that  hath  a  "perverse  tongue  fall- 
eth  into  mischief. 

21  He  that  begetteth  a  "•''fool 
doeth  it  to  his  sorrow:  and  the 
father  of  a  fool  hath  no  joy. 

22  A  merry  heart  Moeth  good 
like  a  ■'^medicine:  but  a  ''bi-oken 
spirit  drieth  the  bones. 

23  A  wicked  man  taketh  a  ''gift 
out  of  the  bosom  to  pervert  the 
ways  of  judgment. 

24  ''Wisdom  is  before  him  that 
hath  understanding;  but  the 
eyes  of  a  *fool  are  in  the  ends  of 
the  earth. 

2.5  A  ''foolish  '^•''son  is  a  grief  to 
his  father,  and  bitterness  to  her 
that  Ijare  him. 

26  Also  to  ''punish  the  just  is 
not  good,  nor  to  strike  princes 
tor  equity. 

27  He  that  ''hath  knowledge 
spareth  his  words:  and.  a  man  of 
understanding  is  of  an  excellent 
.spirit. 

28  Even  a  fool,  when  he  'hold- 
eth  his  peace,  is  counted  wise: 
and  he  that  'shutteth  his  lips  is 


esteemed  ^a  man  of  understand- 
ing. 

CHAPTER  18 

Sundry  Proverbs. 

THROUGH  desire  a  man, 
having  separated  himself, 
seeketh  and  intermeddleth  with 
all  "wisdom. 

2  A  *fool  hath  no  delight  in 
understanding,  but  that  his  heart 
may  discover  itself. 

3  ''When  the  wicked  cometh, 
then  cometh  also  contempt,  and 
with  ignominy  reproach. 

4  The  Svords  of  a  ma!i's  mouth 
are  as  deep  waters,  and  the  well- 
spring  of  '^wisdom  as  a  flowing 
brook. 

5  It  is  not  good  to  accept  the 
person  of  the  wicked,  to  ''over- 
throw the  righteous  in  judgment. 

6  A  *foors  '^lips  enter  into  ''con- 
tention, and  his  mouth  calleth 
for  strokes. 

7  A  *fool's  ''mouth  is  his  de- 
struction, and  his  'lips  are  the 
snare  of  his  soul. 

8  The  ''■''words  of  a  -■''tale- 
l:>earer  are  as  wounds,  and  they 
go  down  into  the  innermost 
parts  of  the  belly. 

9  He  also  that  is  ^'•'■^slothful  in 
his  work  is  brother  to  him  that 
is  a  ^great  waster. 

10  The  name  of  the  Lord  is  a 
strong  ^'''tower:  the  righteous 
runneth  into  it,  and  is  safe. 

11  The  '"rich  man's  wealth  is 
his  strong  city,  and  as  an  high 
wall  in  his  own  "'"conceit. 

12  Before  destruction  the  ''heart 
of  man  is  "haughty,  and  before 
honour  is  'humility. 

13  He  that  ''answereth  a  matter 
before  he  heareth  it,  it  is  folly 
and  shame  unto  him.

"T)E  not  *thou  '^envious  against 
JJ     ''evil    men,  neither  desire 
to  be  with  them. 

2  For  their  ^heart  studieth  Vle- 
struction,  and  their  lips  ^talk  of 
mischief. 

3  Through  ^wisdom  is  an  house 


builded;  and  by  understanding 
it  is  established: 

4  And  by  "•''knowledge  shall 
the  chambers  be  filled  with  all 
precious  and  pleasant  riches. 

5  A  wise  man  is  strong;  yea,  a 
man  of  "■''knowledge  increaseth 
strength. 

6  For  'by  wise  'counsel  thou  shalt 
make  thy  ^war:  and  in  multitude 
of  counsellors  there  is  safety. 

7  "Wisdom  is  too  high  for  a 
fool:  he  openeth  not  his  mouth 
in  the  gate. 

8  He  that  Meviseth  to  do  evil 
shall  be  called  a  mischievous 
person. 

9  The  '"thought  of  foolishness 
is  sin:  and  the  ^'"scorner  is  an 
"abomination  to  men. 

10  //  thou  ^' "faint  in  the  day  of 
''adversity,  thy  strength  is  small. 

11  *'If  thou  forbear  to  deliver 
them  that  are  drawn  unto  death, 
and  those  that  are  ready  to  be 
slain; 

12  If  thou  "sayest.  Behold,  we 
knew  it  not;  doth  not  he  that 
^'"pondereth  the  heart  consider

before  the  ^-^king,  and  his  throne 
shall  be  established  in  righteous- 
ness. 

Qi,  A^^Putnot  forth '"thyself  in  the 
presence  of  the  king,  and  stand 
not  in  the  place  of  great  men: 

7  For  'better  it  is  that  it  be  said 
unto  thee,  Come  up  hither;  than 
that  thou  shouldest  be  put  lower 
in  the  presence  of  the  prince 
whom  thine  eyes  have  seen. 

8  "-"Go  not  forth  hastily  to 
'^•''strive,  lest  tlwu  know  not  what 
to  do  in  the  end  thereof,  when 
thy  neighbour  hath  put  thee  to 
shame. 

9  "■"•^Debate  thy  cause  with 
thy  neighbour  himself;  and  \lis- 
cover  not  a  secret  to  another: 

10  Lest  he  that  heareth  it  ^put 
thee  to  shame,  and  thine  infamy 
turn  not  away. 

11  A  ^vord  "fitly  spoken  is  like 
apples  of  *'gold  in  ^pictures  of 
'"silver. 

12  As  an  *earring  of  ''gold, 
and  an  ornament  of  fine  gold, 
so  is  a  wise  -^i-eprover  upon  an 
obedient  ear. 

13  As  the  cold  of  ^snow  in  the 
time  of  ^harvest,  so  is  a  faithful 
"messenger  to  them  that  send 
him:  for  he  refresheth  the  soul 
of  his  masters. 

14  Whoso  ^'^boasteth  himself 
of  a  false  gift  is  like  clouds  and 
wind  without  rain. 

15  By  long  '^forbearing  is  a 
^prince  persuaded,  and  a  '^soft 
tongue  breaketh  the  bone. 

16  Hast  thou  found  honey?  eat 
''so  much  as  is  sufficient  for  thee, 
lest  thou  be  filled  therewith,  and 
vomit  it. 


17  ^Withdraw  thy  foot  from 
thy  neighbour's  house;  lest  he  be 
weary  of  thee,  and  so  hate  thee. 

18  A  man  that  beareth  'false 
witness  against  his  neighbour  is 
a  maul,  and  a  "sword,  and  a 
sharp  ''arrow. 

19  Confidence  in  an  unfaithful 
man  in  time  of  trouble  is  like  a 
broken  tooth,  and  a  foot  out  of 
joint. 

20  As  he  that  tnketh  "away  a 
garment  in  cold  weather,  and  as 
'^vinegar  upon  nitre,  so  is  he  that 
singeth  %ongs  to  an  heavy  heart. 

21  ^-'If  thine  '"enemy  be  "hun- 
gry, "-p-igive  him  bread  to  eat; 
and  if  he  be  thirsty,  give  him 
water  to  drink: 

22  For  thou  shalt  heap  ''coals 
of  fire  upon  his  head,  and  *the 
Lord  shall  reward  thee. 

23  The  north  'wind  ^driveth 
away  "rain:  so  doth  ^an  "angry 
countenance  a  ■'^•"'' ^backbiting 
tongue. 

24  ''It  is  better  to  dwell  in  the 
corner  of  the  ^housetop,  than 
with  a  ^•''brawling  ''■''woman 
and  in  a  wide  house. 

25  As  cold  Avaters  to  a  thirsty 
sfHil,  so  is  ''good  news  from  a 
far  country. 

20  ^°A  "righteous  man  'falling 
down  before  the  wicked  is  as 
a  troubled  fountain,  and  a  cor- 
rupt spring. 

27  It  is  not  good  to  eat  much 
"honey:  so  for  men  to  search 
their  own  glory  is  not  glory.

CHAPTER  26 

Observations  concerning  fools.  13  sluggards. 
17  and  busybodUs. 

AS  "snow  in  ^summer,  and  as 
"rain  in  '^harvest,  so  honour 
is  not  seemly  for  a  ''fool. 

2  As  the  'bird  by  wandering, 
as  the  swallow  by  flying,  so  the 
curse  causeless  shall  not  come. 

3  A  whip  for  the  horse,  a 
'^bridle  for  the  ''ass,  and  a  "rod 
for  the  ''fool's  back. 

4  ''-'Answer  not  a  ''fool  accord- 
ing to  his  folly,  ^lest  thou  also  be 
like  unto  him. 

5  ^''Answer  a  ''fool  according 
to  his  folly,  'lest  he  be  wise  in  his 
own  *conceit. 

G  He  that  scndeth  a  message 
by  the  hand  of  a  ''fool  cutteth 
off  the  feet,  and  drinketh  dam- 
age.^ 

7  The  legs  of  the  lame  ^are  not 
equal:  so  is  a  parable  in  the 
mouth  of  ''fools. 

8  As  he  that  bindcth  ^a  stone  in 
a  sling,  so  is  he  that  giveth  hon- 
our to  a  fool. 

9  As  a  thorn  goeth  up  into  the 
hand  of  a  '"drunkard,  so  is  a 
paral)lc  in  the  mouth  of  ''fools. 

10  *The  great  God  that  formed 
all  things  both  rewardeth  the 
fool,  and  rewardeth  transgres- 
sors. 

11  "As  a  "dog  returneth  to  his 
vomit,  ^-^so  a  ''fool  returneth  to 
his  folly. 

12  Seest  thou  a  man  *wise  in  his 
(jwn  *conceit?  the^-e  is  more  hope 
of  a  ''fool  than  of  him. 

13  The  '■•^slothful  ma7i  saith, 
TItcre  is  a  'lion  in  the  way;  a  lion 
is  in  the  streets. 

14  As  the    door  turneth  upon 


his  hinges,  so  doth  the  ''slothful 
upon  his  bed. 

15  The  "-^slothful  hideth  his 
hand  in  his  bosom;  it  grieveth 
him  to  bring  it  again  to  his 
mouth. 

16  The  sluggard  is  wiser  in  his 
own  *conceit  than  "seven  men 
that  can  render  a  reason. 

17  "He  that  passcth  by,  and 
^meddleth  with  ■'^strife  belong- 
ing not  to  him,  is  like  one  that 
taketh  a  "dog  by  the  ears. 

18  As  a  ^mad  man  who  caste th 
firebrands,  arrows,  and  death, 

19  So  is  the  man  that  deceive  th 
his  neighbour,  and  saith,  Am 
not  I  in  sport  ? 

20  Where  no  wood  is,  there  the 
fire  goeth  out:  so  where  there 
is  no  ^'^'^talebearer,  the  ^strife 
cease th. 

21  As  coals  are  to  burning 
coals,  and  wood  to  fire;  so  is 
a  contentious  man  to  kindle 
•''strife. 

22  The  ^words  of  a""  ^  talebearer 
are  as  ^"wounds,  and  they  go 
(h)wn  into  tlie  innermost  parts 
of  the  I'belly. 

23  ^^Burning  lips  and  a  wicked 
heart  are  like  '^a  potsherd  cov- 
ered with  "silver  ''dross. 

24  He  that  '^hateth  ''•Missem- 
bleth  with  his  lips,  and  layeth  up 
Meceit  within  him; 

25  When  he  si)eaketh  fair,  be- 
lieve him  not:  for  there  are  seven 
abominations  in  his  heart. 

26  ^HVhose  '^hatred  is  covered 
by  deceit,  his  wickedness  shall 
be  shewed  before  the  whole  con- 
gregation. 

27  Whoso  diggeth  a  "pit  ''shall 
fall  therein:  and  he  that  roll- 
eth  a  stone,  it  will  return  upon 
Iiim.

thee,  and  not  ^- "thine  own

3  A  stone  is  heavy,  and  the 
sand  weighty;  but  a  fool's  ^wrath 
is  heavier  than  them  both. 

4  *Wrath  is  cruel,  and  anger  is

when  the  ^'wicked  beareth  rule, 
the  people  mourn.

Isa. 

13  There  is  a  generation,  O 
how  ^lofty  are  their  eyes !  and 
their  eyelids  are  Hfted  up. 

14  There  is  a  generation,  ''whose 
teeth  are  as  swords,  and  their 
jaw  teeth  as  knives,  "to  ''devour 
the  '^poor  from  off  the  eartli,  and 
the  needy  from  among  men. 

15  The  horseleach  hath  two 
daughters,  crying,  "Give,  give. 
There  are  three  things  that  are 
never  satisfied,  yea,  four  things 
say  not,  It  is  enough: 

16  "The  'grave;  and  the  barren 
womb;  the  earth  that  is  not  filled 
with  water;  and  the  fire  that 
saith  not,  It  is  enough. 

17  The  *eye  that  mocketh  at 
his  father,  and  despiseth  to  obey 
his  mother,  'the  '"ravens  of  the 
valley  shall  pick  it  out,  and  the 
young  eagles  shall  eat  it. 

18  There  l)e  three  things  which 
are  too  wonderful  for  me,  yea, 
four  which  I  know  not: 

19  The  way  of  an  ''eagle  in  the 
air;  the  way  of  a  "serpent  upon 
a  rock;  the  way  of  a  ship  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea;  and  the  way 
of  a  man  with  a  maid. 

20  Such  is  the  way  of  an  adul- 
terous woman;  she  ^eateth,  and 
wipeth  her  mouth,  and  saith, 
*''I  have  done  no  wickedness. 

21  For  three  things  the  earth  is 
disquieted,  and  for  four  tvhich  it 
cannot  bear: 

22  For  a  servant  wlien  he  reign- 
eth;  and  a  fool  when  he  ^is  filled 
with  meat; 

23  *For  an  odious  hvoman  when 
she  is  married ;  and  an  handmaid 
that  is  heir  to  her  mistress. 

24  There  be  four  things  which 
are  little  upon  the  earth,  but  they 
are  exceeding  wise: 

25  The  ''■"ants  are  a  people  not 
strong,  yet  they  "'prepare  their 
meat  in  the   ^summer; 


26  The  ^conies  are  but  a  feeble 
folk,  yet  make  "they  their  houses 
in  the  rocks; 

27  The  ^locusts  have  no  king, 
yet  "go  they  forth  all  of  them  by 
bands; 

28  The  ^' '^spider  taketh  hold 
with  her  hands,  and  is  in  kings' 
palaces. 

29  There  be  three  things  which 
''go  well,  yea;  four  are  comely  in 
going: 

30  A  *lion  which  is  strongest 
among  beasts,  and  turneth  not 
away  for  any; 

31  A  '^greyhound;  an  he  goat 
also;  and  a  king,  against  whom 
there  is  no  rising  up. 

32  If  thou  hast  done  foolishly 
in  lifting  up  thyself,  or  if  thou 
hast  thought  evil,  "^lay  thine 
hand  upon  thy  mouth. 

33  Surely  the  churning  of  '"milk 
brhigeth  forth  ''butter,  and  the 
wringing  of  the  nose  bringeth 
forth  blood:  so  the  forcing  of 
"wrath  bringeth  forth  ''strife.

again. 

8  All  things  arc  full  of  labour; 
"man  cannot  utter  if:  the  "eye  is 
not  satisfied  with  seeing,  nor  the 
ear  filled  with  hearing. 

9  The  thing  that  hath  been, 
it  is  that  which  shall  be;  and 
that  which  "is  done  is  that  which 
shall  be  done:  and  there  is  no 
new  thing  under  the  sun. 

10  Is  there  ani/  thing  whereof  it 
may  be  said.  See,  this  is  new  ?  it 
hath  been  already  of  old  time, 
which  was  before  us. 

11  There  is  no  remembrance 
of  ^former  things;  neither  shall 
there  be  any  remembrance  of 
things  that  are  to  come  with 
those  that  shall  come  after. 

12  T[  I  the  "Preacher  was  '"king 
over  ^Is'ra-el  in  '^Je-rii'sa-lem. 

13  And  I  gave  my  heart  to  seek 
and  ^search  out  by  ^-''wisdom 
concerning  all  things  that  are 
done  under  heaven:  this  sore 
travail  hath  God  given  to  the 
sons  of  man  to  be  exercised 
therewith. 

14  I  have  seen  all  the  'works 
that  are  done  under  the  sun; 
and,  behold,  all  is  ^vanity  and 
^vexation  of  spirit. 

15  That  which  is  crooked  can- 
not be  made  straight:  and  that 
which  is  wanting  cannot  be 
numbered, 

16  1  communed  with  mine  own 
heart,  saying,  Lo,  I  ^am  come  to 
great  estate,  and  have  gotten 
more  'wisdom  than  all  they 
that  have  been  before  me  in 
^ Je-ru'sa-lem :  yea,  my  heart 
had  great  experience  of  wis- 
dom and  'knowledge. 

17  And  I  gave  my  heart  to 


^know   'wisdom,  and   to  know- 
madness  and  folly:  I  perceived 
that  "this  also   "is   vexation   of  I 
spirit.  I 

18   For   in   much    'wusdom   is 
much   grief:    and   he    that    in- 1 
creaseth  'knowledge  increaseth* 
sorrow. 

CHAPTER  2 

The  vanitu  of  mirth,  uwalth,  and  greatness; 
i2  of  wisdom,  though  far  belter  than  folly: 
18  and  of  all  the  labors  of  a  man.  24 
A  man  should  make  a  cheerful  use  of 
what  he  has. 

I  SAID  in  mine  heart.  Go  to 
now,  I  will  |)rove  thee  w^ith 
mirth,  therefore  enjoy  *pleas- 
ure:  and,  behold,  this  also  is 
vanity. 

2  I  said  of  laughter,  It  is  mad : 
and  of  mirth,  What  doeth  it  ? 

3  I  sought  in  mine  heart  Ho 
give  myself  unto  "wine,  yet  ac- 
(juainting  mine  heart  with  *wis- 
dom;  and  to  lay  hold  on  *folly, 
till  I  might  see  what  was  that 
good  for  the  sons  of  men,  which 
they  should  do  under  the  heaven 
all  the  days  of  their  life. 

4  *I  made  me  great  works;  I 
builded  me  houses;  I  '^planted 
me  '^vineyards: 

5  I  made  me  gardens  and  ^or- 
chards, and  I  i^lanted  trees  in 
them  of  all  kind  of  fruits: 

6  I  made  me  Spools  of  water, 
^to  water  therewith  the  wood 
that  bringeth  forth  trees: 

7  I  got  me  '^servants  and  maid- 
ens, and  had  servants  born  in 
my  house;  also  I  had  great  ^pos- 
sessions of  great  and  small  cattle 
above  all  tiiat  were  in  ''Je-rii'sa-

8  I  ''gathered  me  also  ^silver

9  So  I  was  great,  and  increased 
more  than  all  that  were  before 
me  in  ''Je-rii'sil-lem:  also  my 
''wisdom  remained  with  me. 

10  And  *whatsoever  mine  eyes 
desired  I  kept  not  from  them,  I 
withheld  not  my  heart  from  any 
'joy;  for  my  heart  rejoiced  in  all 
my  'labour:  and  this  was  my 
•portion  of  all  my  labour. 

11  Then  I  looked  on  all  the 
works  that  my  hands  had 
wrought,  and  on  the  labour  that 
I  had  'lal)oured  to  do:  and,  be- 
hold, *all  was  vanity  and  Vexa- 
tion of  spirit,  and  there  ivas  no 
profit  under  the  sun. 

12  Tf  And  I  turned  myself  to 
behold  ''wisdom,  and  madness, 
and  folly:  for  what  can  the  man 
do  that  Cometh  after  the  king  ? 
even  that  which  hath  been  al- 
ready done. 

13  Then  I  saw  that  wisdom  ex- 
celletli  folly,  as  far  as  '"liglit  ex- 
celleth  "darkness. 

14  The  ''wise  man's  eyes  arc  in 
his  head;  but  the  "fool  walketh 
in  /'darkness:  and  I  myself  j)er- 
ceived  also  that  ^^one  event  hap- 
peneth  to  '^theni  all. 

15  Then  said  I  in  my  heart,  As 
''it  happeneth  to  the  "fool,  so  it 
happeneth  even  to  me;  and  why 
was  I  then  more  ''wise  ?  Then  I 
.said  in  my  heart,  tliat  this  also 
is  vanity. 

1()  For  there  is  no  remembrance 
of  the  wise  more  than  of  the  fool 
for  ever;  .seeing  that  whicli  now 
is-  in  the  days  to  come  sJiall  all  be 
forgotten.  And  how  dieth  the 
wise   man  ?   as  the  fool. 

17  'J'herefore  I  hated  *life;  'be- 


cause the  woi-k  that  is  wrought 
under  the  sun  is  grievous  unto 
me:  for  all  is  vanity  and  S^exa- 
tion  of  spirit. 

18  Tf  Yea,  'I  hated  all  my  la- 
bour which  I  had  taken  under 
the  sun:  because  I  should  leave 
"it  unto  the  "man  that  shall  be 
after  me. 

19  And  'who  knoweth  whetlier 
he  shall  be  a  "'wise  maji  or  a 
''fool?  yet  .shall  "he  have  rule 
over  all  my  'labour  wherein  I 
have  laboured,  and  wherein  I 
have  shewed  myself  wise  under 
the  sun.    This  is  also  vanity. 

20  Therefore  I  went  about  to 
cause  my  heart  to  ^despair  of  all 
the  labour  wliicli  I  took  under 
the  sun. 

21  For  'there  is  a  man  wliose 
labour  is  in  '"wi.sdom,  and  in 
knowledge,  and  ''in  ecpiity;  'yet 
to  a  man  that  liath  not  laboured 
therein  shall  he  leave  "it  for  his 
portion.  This  also  is  vanity  and 
a  great  evil. 

22  For  'what  hath  man  of  all 
his  lal)our,  and  of  the  "vexation 
of  his  heart,  wherein  he  hath 
laboured  under  the  sun  ? 

23  For  all  his  days  are  ^soi-rows, 
and  his  travail  grief;  yea,  lii.s 
heart  taketh  not  rest  in  the  night. 
This  is  also  vanity. 

24  Tf  There  is  nothing  better  for 
a  man,  than  tliat  ^-^he  should 
eat  and  drink,  and  that  he 
.should  make  his  soul  enjoy  good 
in  his  labour.  This  also  I  saw, 
that  "it  was  from  the  liand  of 
God. 

25  For  who  can  eat,  or  who 
else  can  hasten  hereunto,  more 
than  I? 

26  For  God  "giveth  to  a  '^man

All  thiriijs  have  their  appointed  time.  1 1  unil 
arc  good  in  their  season.  16  The  per- 
version of  Justice  and  a  future  retribution. 
18  The  vanity  of  man  as  mortal, 

"rpO  every  tiling  tJwre  is  a  sea- 
J-     son,  aiul  a  time  to  every 
jiurpose  under  the  heaven; 

2  A  time  to  be  born,  and  a  time 
to  "die;  a  time  to  plant,  and  a 
time  to  pluck  up  that  which  iff 
planted; 

3  A  time  to  kill,  and  a  time  to 
heal;  a  time  to  break  down,  and 
a  time  to  build  up; 

4  A  time  to  '^weep,  and  a  time 
to  laugh;  a  time  to  mourn,  and  a 
time  to  *dan{'e; 

5  A  time  to  cast  away  stones, 
and  a  time  to  gather  stones  to- 
gether; a  time  to  embrace,  and  a 
time  to  refrain  from  embracing; 

f)  A  time  to  get,  and  a  time  to 
lose;  a  time  to  keep,  and  a  time 
to  cast  away; 

7  A  time  to  rend,  and  a  time  to 
sew;  a  time  to  keep  silence,  and 
a  time  to  speak; 

8  A  time  to  ''love,  and  a  time  to 
''hate;  a  time  of  ^var,  and  a  time 
of  "peace. 

9  "What  profit  hatli  he  tliat 
worketh  in  that  wiierein  he  la- 
boureth  ? 

10  ''I  have  seen  the  travail, 
which  God  *hath  given  to  the 
.sons  of  men  to  be  exercised  in  it. 

11  "He  hath  ^•^'inade  every 
fhiiif/  beautiful  in  his  time:  also 
he  hath  set  the  world  in  their 
heart,  so  that  'no  man  can  find 
out    the    '"work    that    "'"God 


maketh  from  the  beginning  to 
the  end. 

12  "'H  know  that  there  is  h\o 
good  in  them,  but  for  a  ''man  to 
rejoice,  and  to  do  good  in  his 
ViL 

13  '^And  al.so  that  every  man 
should  eat  and  drink,  and  enjoy 
the  good  of  all  his  labour,  '•''it  is 
the  'gift  of  God. 

14  I  know  that,  whatsoever 
God  doeth,  *it  shall  be  for  ever: 
nothing  can  be  ])ut  to  it,  nor  any 
thing  taken  from  it:  and  God 
doeth  it,  that  mi-n  should  'fear 
before  him. 

15  That  which  hath  been  is 
now;  and  that  which  is  to  be 
hath  already  been ;  and  God  ^re- 
((uireth  that  which  is  past. 

16  And  moreover  I  saw  under 
the  sun  "the  place  of  judgment, 
that  "wickedness  was  there;  and 
the  place  of  righteousness,  that 
"iniquity  was  there. 

17  I  said  in  mine  heart,  God 
shall  '"•  ■''judge  the  ''righteous  and 
the  ^wicked:  for  there  is  a  time 
there  for  every  purpose  and  for 
every  work. 

18  °T  said  in  mine  heart  con- 
cerning the  estate  of  the  "sons  of 
men,  that  God  ^might  manifest 
them,  and  that  they  might  see 
that  they  themselves  are  ^beasts. 

19  "For  ^that  which  befalleth 
the  "sons  of  men  befalleth  beasts; 
even  one  thing  befalleth  them: 
as  the  one  dieth,  so  dicth  the 
otlier;  yea,  they  have  all  one 
breath;  so  that  a  man  hath  no 
preeminence  above  a  beast:  for 
all  is  vanity. 

20  "All  go  unto  one  place;  "all 
are  of  the  ^•''dust,  and  "all  turn 
to  dust  again.

22  '^Wherefore  I  ]>erceive  that 
there  is  nothing  better,  than  that 
a  man  should  rejoice  in  his  own 
works;  for  that  is  his  portion: 
for  who  shall  bring  him  ''to  see 
what  shall  be  after  him  ? 

CHAPTER  4 

The  sorrows  of  the  oppressed.  4  The  evils 
of  envy,  5  of  idle7iess,  7  of  covetousness, 
9  and  of  solitariness.  13  The  evil  of  a 
foolish  king. 

SO  I  returned,  and  considered 
all  the  "'^oppressions  that 
are  done  under  the  sun:  and 
''behold  the  tears  of  such  as  ivere 
oppressed,  and  they  had  no  com- 
forter; and  on  the  side  of  their 
'^oppressors  there  ivas  power;  but 
they  had  no  comforter. 

2  Wherefore  I  praised  the  dead 
which  are  already  dead  more 
than  the  living  which  are  yet 
alive. 

3  Yea,  better  is  he  than  both 
they,  which  hath  not  yet  been, 
who  hath  not  seen  the  evil  work 
that  is  done  under  the  sun. 

4  T[  Again,  I  considered  all  trav- 
ail, and  every  h'ight  work,  that 
for  this  a  man  is  ''"'envied  of  his 
neighbour.  This  is  also  vanity 
and  ^vexation  of  spirit. 

5  *\  The  ''fool  ''foldeth  his  hands 
together,  and  eateth  his  own 
flesh. 

6  ^Better  is  an  'handful  with 
'•^quietness,  than  both  the  hands 
full  with  travail  and  ^vexation 
of  spirit. 

7  Tl  Then  I  returned,  and  I  saw 
vanity  under  the  sun. 

8  There  is  one  alone,  and  there 
is  not  a  second;  yea,  he  hath 
neither  child  nor  brother:  yet  is 
there  no  end  of  all  his  labour; 


'■'"neither  is  his  eye  satisfied  with 
*riches;  neither  saith  he,  For 
whom  do  I  labour,  and  ^bereave 
my  soul  of  good  ?  This  is  also 
vanity,  yea,  it  is  a  sore  travail. 

9  *(  "-".PTwo  are  better  than 
one;  because  they  have  a  good 
reward  for  their  labour. 

10  For  ^if  they  fall,  "the  one 
will  lift  up  his  fellow:  but  woe  to 
him  that  is  alone  when  he  falleth ; 
for  he  hath  not  another  to  help 
him  up. 

11  Again,  ^if  two  lie  together, 
then  they  have  heat:  but  how 
can  one  be  warm  alone  ? 

12  And  if  one  prevail  against 
him,  ^two  shall  withstand  him; 
and  a  threefold  cord  is  not 
quickly  broken. 

13  *\  Better  is  a  poor  and  a  wise 
*child  than  an  old  and  foolish 
^king,  who  will  no  more  be  ad- 
monished. 

14  For  out  of  '■prison  he  cometh 
to  ^reign;  whereas  also  he  that  is 
born  in  his  kingdom  becometh 
poor. 

15  I  considered  all  the  living 
which  walk  under  the  sun,  ^with 
the  second  child  that  shall  stand 
up  in  his  stead. 

16  There  ^is  no  end  of  all  the 
people,  el^>en  of  all  ^that  have 
been  before  them :  they  also  that 
come  after  shall  not  rejoice  in 
him.  Surely  this  also  is*  vanity 
and  ^vexation  of  spirit.

to  utter  aiii/  thing  before  God: 
for  God  is  in  'heaven,  and  thou 
upon  earth:  therefore  let  thy 
'words  be  few. 

3  For  a  ''dream  cometh  through 
the  multitude  of  business;  and  a 
fool's  voice  is  known  by  "multi- 
tude of  words. 

4  When  thou  vowest  a  'vow  un- 
to God,  "'defer  not  to  pay  it;  for 
he  hath  no  pleasure  in  ''fools:  pay 
that  which  thou  hast  vowed. 

5  Better  is  it  that  thou  should-

shouldest  vow 

6  '^Suffer  not  thy  mouth  to  cause 
thy  flesh  to  sin;  "neither  say  thou 
before  the  angel,  that  it  was  an 
error:  wherefore  should  God  be 
"angry  at  thy  voice,  and  ^destroy 
the  work  of  thine  hands  ? 

7  For  in  the  multitude  of 
^dreams  and  ''many  words  there 
are  also  divers  vanities:  but  'fear 
thou  God. 

8  T[  If  thou  seest  the  *oppres- 
sion  of  the  ''poor,  and  violent 
^perverting  of  judgment  and 
'justice  in  a  province,  marvel  riot 
at  the  matter:  for  "he  that  is 
higher  than  the  ^highest  "'re- 
gardeth;  and  there  be  higher 
than  they. 

9  ^  ^Moreover  ^tlie  profit  of  the 
"earth  is  for  all:  the  ^king  him- 
self is  served  by  the  field. 

10  He  that  ^■''loveth  "silver 
shall  not  be  satisfied  with  silver; 
nor  he  that  loveth  ''abundance 
with  increase:  this  is  also  vanity. 

11  When  "goods  increa.se,  they 
are  increased  that  eat  them:  and 


what  good  is  there  to  the  owners 
thereof,  saving  the  beholding  of 
them  with  their  eyes  ? 

12  The  "sleep  of  a  ''labouring 
man  is  sweet,  whether  he  eat 
little  or  much:  but  the  ^'''al)un- 
dance  of  the  rich  will  not  suffer 
him  to  sleep. 

13  There  is  a  sore  evil  which  I 
have  seen  under  the  sun,  namely, 
"riches  kept  for  the  '^owners 
thereof  to  their  hurt. 

14  But  those  "riches  perish  by 
evil  ^travail:  and  'he  begetteth  a 
son,  and  there  is  nothing  in  his 
hand. 

15  As  he  came  forth  of  his 
mother's  womb,  naked  shall  he 
return  to  ^go  as  he  came,  and 
shall  take  nothing  of  his  labour, 
which  he  may  carry  away  in  his 
hand. 

If)  And  this  also  is  a  sore  evil, 
tlud  in  all  points  as  he  came,  so 
shall  he  ''go :  and  what  ])rofit  hath 
he  that  hath  laboured  for  the 
wind  ? 

17  All  his  days  also  he  eateth 
in  darkness,  and  he  hatli  much 
^sorrow  and  wrath  with  his  sick- 
ness. 

IS  Tl  Behold  that  which  I  have 
seen:  it  is  good  and  comely  for 
one  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  to 
enjoy  the  good  of  all  his  labour 
that  he  taketh  under  the  sun  all 
the  days  of  his  life,  which  God 
giveth  him:  for  it  is  his  portion. 

19  Every  man  also  to  whom 
God  hath  ''given  ^riches  and 
wealth,  and  hath  given  him 
power  to  eat  thereof,  and  to  take 
his  portion,  and  to  rejoice  in  his 
labour;  'this  is  the  gift  of  God. 

20  For  he  shall  not  much  re- 
member   the    days   of   his   life;

CHAPTER  6 

The  evil  of  riches  loithout  power  to  use  them. 
7  Sundry  observations. 

THERE   is   an  evil  which  I 
have  seen  under  the  sun, 
and  it  is  'common  among  men: 

2  "A  man  to  whom  God  hath 
given  *' '^riches,  wealth,  and  hon- 
our, so  that  he  wanteth  nothing 
for  his  soul  of  all  that  he  desir- 
eth,  yet  God  "^giveth  him  not 
power  to  eat  thereof,  but  a  stran- 
ger eateth  it:  this  is  '^vanity,  and 
it  is  an  evil  disease. 

3  T[  ''If  a  man  beget  an  hundred 
children,  and  live  many  years,  so 
that  the  days  of  his  years  be 
^many,  and  his  soul  be  not  filled 
with  good,  and  also  that  he  have 
no  ^burial;  I  say,  that  an  un- 
timely birth  is  better  than  he. 

4  "For  he  cometh  in  with  van- 
ity, and  departeth  in  darkness, 
and  ''his  name  shall  be  covered 
with  darkness. 

5  Moreover  he  hath  not  seen 
the  sun,  nor  known  anij  thing: 
this  hath  more  rest  than  the 
other. 

6  "Yea,  though  he  '^live  a  thou- 
sand years  twice  told,  yet  hath  he 
seen  no  good:  do  not  all  *go  to 
one  place  ? 

7  ''All  the  labour  of  man  is  for 
his  hiiouth,  and  yet  the  aj)petite 
is  not  filled. 

8  "For  what  hath  the  wise  more 
than  the  fool  ?  what  hath  the 
])oor,  that  knoweth  to  walk  be- 
fore the  living  ? 

9  "Better  is  the  sight  of  the  eyes 
than  the  wandering  of  the  desire : 
this  is  also  vanity  and  ^vexation 
of  spirit. 

10  ^  That  which  hath  been  is 
named  already,  and  it  is  known 
that  it  is  man:  neither  mav  he 


contend  with  him  that  is  might- 
ier than  he. 

11  "Seeing  there  be  many 
things  that  increase  vanity,  what 
is  man  the  better  ? 

12  '^For  who  knoweth  what  is 
good  for  man  in  this  life,  all  the 
days  of  his  vain  ^hfe  which  he 
spendeth  as  a  shadow  ?  for  who 
can  tell  a  man  what  shall  be  after 
him  under  the  sun  ? 

CHAPTER  7 

Sundry  observations  and  adrnonilions.  1 1 
A  commendation  of  wisdom.  23  The 
difficulty  in  obtaining  it. 

A  GOOD  "-"name  is  better 
than  precious  *ointment; 
'^and  the  day  of  death  than  the 
''day  of  one's  birth. 

2^7/  is  better  to  ''go  to  the 
house  of  ''mourning,  than  to  go 
to  the  house  of  feasting:  for  that 
is  the  end  of  all  men;  and  the 
living  will  lay  it  to  his  heart. 

3  ''Sorrow  is  better  than  laugh- 
ter: for  by  tlie  sadness  of  the 
^countenance  the  heart  is  matlo 
Mictter. 

4  The  heart  of  the  wise  is  in  tlic 
house  of  mourning;  but  the  heart 
of  fools  is  in  the  ''house  of  mirth. 

5  It  is  better  to  hear  the  'rebuke 
of  the  wise,  than  for  a  man  to 
hear  the  song  of  fools. 

6  For  as  the  crackling  of  thorns 
under  a  pot,  so  is  the  ^laughter  of 
the  fool:  this  also  is  vanity. 

7  T[  Surely  ^' ^'opj^ression  mak- 
eth  a  wise  man  ^mad;  and  a  'gift 
destroyeth  the  *heart. 

8  Better  is  the  end  of  a  thing 
than  the  beginning  thereof:  and 
the  '"'"patient  in  spirit  is  better 
than  the  "proud  in  spirit. 

9  ''Be  not  *hasty  in  thy  spirit  to 
be  ''angry:  for  anger  resteth  in 
the  bosom  of  fools. 

10  Say  not  thou,  ^Wliat  is  the 
cause  that  the  former  days  were 
better  than  these  ?  for  thou  dost

11  ^  'Wisdom  is  ^good  with 
an  "inheritance:  and  bt/  it  there 
is  profit  to  them  that  see  the 
sun. 

12  For  'wisdom  is  a  defence, 
'^and  "money  is  a  defence:  but 
the  excellency  of  ""knowledge  is, 
that  wisdom  ^giveth  life  to  them 
that  have  it. 

13  Consider  the  work  of  God: 
^for  who  can  make  that  straight, 
which  he  hath  made  crooked  ? 

14  In  the  day  of  ^prosperity  ^be 
joyful,  but  in  the  day  of  ad- 
versity consider:  God  also  hath 
set  the  one  overagainst  the  other, 
to  the  end  that  man  should  ^fiiul 
nothing  after  him. 

15  All  tilings  have  I  seen  in  the 
days  of  my  vanity:  "there  is  a 
''just  imtn  that  ])erishetli  in  his 
"righteousness,  and  there  is  a 
''wicked  man  that  prolongeth  his 
life  in  his  ^wickedness. 

16  ^'^Be  not  righteous  ''over 
much;  neither  make  thyself  over 
wise:  why  shouldest  thou  destroy 
thyself  ? 

17  Be  not  over  much  wicked, 
neither  be  thou  foolish:  why 
shouldest  thou  Mie  before  thy 
time  ? 

IS  It  is  good  that  thou  should- 
est takt;  hold  of  this;  yea,  also 
from  this  withdraw  not  thine 
hand:  for  ^hc  that  *feareth  God 
shall  come  forth  of  tliein  all. 

19  'Wisdom  strengtheueth  tlic 
wise  more  than  ten  mighty  men 
which  are  in  the  city. 

20  For  tliere  is  '"■"not  a  "just 
man  uj)on  earth,  that  doeth  good, 
and  "'/'sinneth  not. 

21  Also  ^take  no  heed  unto  all 


words  that  are  spoken;  lest  thou 
hear  thy  'servant  ''curse  thee: 

22  For  oftentimes  also  *thine 
own  heart  kuoweth  that  thou  thy- 
self likewise  hast  ''cur.sed  others. 

23  All  this  have  I  proved  by 
'■'wisdom:  I  said,  I  will  be  wise; 
but  it  was  far  from  me. 

24  That  which  is  far  off,  and  ex- 
ceeding deep,  who  can  find  it  out  ? 

25  I  applied  mine  "heart  to 
know,  and  to  search,  and  to  seek 
out  'wisdom,  and  the  'reason  of 
filings,  and  to  know  the  wicked- 
ness of  folly,  even  of  foolishness 
and  madness: 

26  And  I  find  more  bitter  than 
deatli  the  ''woman,  whose  "heart 
h  "'snares  and  ^nets,  and  her 
hands  as  bands:  ^whoso  pleaseth 
(Jod  shall  escape  from  her;  but 
the  sinner  shall  be  taken  by  her. 

27  Behold,  this  have  I  found, 
saith  the  preacher,  counting  one 
by  one,  to  find  out  the  account: 

28  Which  yet  my  soul  seeketh, 
but  1  find  not:  one  man  among  a 
tliousand  have  I  found;  but  a 
woman  among  all  those  have  1 
not  found. 

29  Ivo,  this  only  have  I  found, 
that  Gotl  hath  ^-"made  man  up- 
right; but  they  have  sought  out 
many  inventions.

that  had  done 
right  went  away 
from  the  holy 
place,  and  were 
forgotten  in  the 
city: 


^king's  commandment,  and  that 
in  regard  of  the  '^oath  of  God. 

3  *'*Be  not  hasty  to  go  out  of 
his  sight:  ^stand  not  in  an  evil 
thing;  for  he  doeth  whatsoever 
pleaseth  him. 

4  Where  the  word  of  a  "^king  is, 
there  is  power:  and  who  may  say 
unto  him,  Wliat  doest  thou  ? 

5  ^ATioso  ''keepeth  the  com- 
mandment shall  feel  no  evil 
thing:  and  a  wise  man's  heart 
'"discerneth  both  time  and  judg- 
ment. 

6  Because  to  every  purpose 
there  is  time  and  judgment, 
therefore  the  misery  of  man  is 
great  upon  him. 

7  For  he  knoweth  not  that 
which  shall  be:  for  who  can  tell 
him  when  it  shall  be  ? 

8  There  is  no  man  that  hath 
power  over  the  spirit  to  retain 
the  spirit;  ''neither  hath  he  power 
in  the  day  of  death :  and  there  is 
no  discharge  in  that  war;  neither 
shall  wickedness  deliver  those 
that  are  given  to  it. 

9  All  this  have  I  seen,  and  ap- 
plied my  heart  unto  every  work 
that  is  done  under  the  sun :  there 
IS  a  time  wherein  one  ''man 
ruleth  over  another  to  his  own 
hurt. 

10  And  ^'^so  I  saw  the  wicked 
buried,  who  had  come  and  gone 
from  the  place  of  the  holy,  and 
they  were  forgotten  in  the  city 
where  they  had  so  done:  this  is 
also  vanitv. 


11  ^' '^Because  'sentence  against 
an  evil  work  is  not  executed 
speedily,  therefore  the  '"heart  of 
the  sons  of  men  is  "fully  set  in 
them  to  do  evil. 

12  *•  "Though  a  sinner  do  evil 
an  hundred  times,  and  his  days 
be  prolonged,  yet  surely  I  know 
that  ^it  shall  be  well  with  them 
that  *fear  God,  which  fear  before 
him: 

13  But  "'^it  shall  not  be  well 
with  the  wicked,  neither  shall  he 
prolong  his  days,  which  are  as  a 
shadow;  because  he  feareth  not 
before  God. 

14  There  is  a  vanity  which  is 
done  upon  the  earth;  that  ^' there 
be  just  me7i,  unto  whom  it  hap- 
peneth  according  to  the  work  of 
the  wicked;  again,  *there  be 
wicked  men,  to  whom  it  happen- 
eth  according  to  the  work  of  the 
righteous:  I  said  that  this  also  is 
vanity. 

15  "Then  I  commended  mirth, 
because  a  man  hath  no  better 
thing  under  the  sun,  'than  to 
"eat,  and  to  drink,  and  to  be 
merry:  for  that  shall  abide  with 
him  of  his  labour  the  days  of  his 
^Hfe,  which  God  giveth  him  un- 
der the  sun. 

IG  T[  When  I  applied  mine  heart 
to  know  '^wisdom,  and  to  see  the 
business  that  is  done  upon  the 
earth:  (for  also  there  is  that  nei- 
ther day  nor  night  seeth  sleep 
with  his  eyes:) 

17  Then  I  beheld  all  the  «'work

whom  Hhou  lovest  all  the  days  of 
the  life  of  thy  vanity,  which  he 
hath  given  thee  under  the  sun,

that  is  thy  ])ortion  in  tJiis  life, 
and  in  thy  labour  which  thou 


all  this,  that  the  righteous,  and  i  takest  under  the  sun. 


the  wise,  and  their  works,  are 
in  the  hand  of  ''God:  hio  man 
knoweth  either  love  or  hatred  by 
all  that  is  before  them. 

2  *A11  tJiings  come  alike  to  all: 
there  is  one  event  to  the  right- 
eous, and  to  the  A\lcked;  to  the 
good  and  to  the  clean,  and  to  the 
unclean;  to  him  that  sacrificeth, 
and  to  him  that  sacrificeth  not: 
as  is  the  good,  so  is  the  sinner; 
and  he  that  sweareth,  as  he  that 
feareth  an  oath. 

3  This  is  an  evil  among  all 
things  that  are  done  under  the 
sun,  that  there  is  '^one  event  unto 
all:  yea,  also  the  '^iieart  of  the 
sons  of  men  is  ''full  of  evil,  and 
madness  is  in  their  heart  while 
they  live,  and  after  that  they  go 
to  the  dead. 

4  For  to  him  that  is  joined  to  all 
the  living  there  is  ho))e:  for  a  liv- 
ing: 'dog  is  better  than  a  dead

5  For  the  living  know  tliat  they 
shall  '^die:  but  the  deafl  know  not 
any  thing,  neither  have  they  any 
more  a  reward;  for  the  memory 
of  them  is  forgotten. 

6  Also  their  ''love,  and  their 
'hatred,  and  their  ^cnvy,  is  now 
perished;  neither  have  they  any 
more  a  portion  for  ever  in  any 
thing  that  is  done  under  the  sun.

strong,  neither  yet  bread  to  the 
wise,  nor  yet  riches  to  men  of 
understanding,  nor  yet  favour  to 
men  of  skill;  but  time  and  chance 
happeneth  to  them  all. 

12  For  man  also  knoweth  not 
his  time:  as  the  ''fishes  that  are 
taken  in  an  evil  ''net,  and  as  the 
birds  that  are  "caught  in  the 
''snare;  so  are  the  sons  of  men 
snared  in  an  evil  time,  when  ''it 
falleth  suddenly  upon  them. 

13  ^  This  ''wisdom  have  I  seen 
also  under  the  sun,  and  it  seemed 
great  unto  me: 

14  There  was  a  little  city,  and 
few  men  within  it;  and  there 
came  a  great  king  against  it,  and 
"besieged  it,  and  built  great  ''bul- 
warks against  it:    . 

15  Now  there  was  found  in  it  a 
poor  wise  man,  and  he  by  his 
'wisdom  delivered  the  city;  yet

the  *^poor  man's  wisdom  w  de- 
spised, and  his  words  are  not 
heard. 

17  The  'words  of  "wise  men  are 
heard  in  quiet  more  than  the  cry 
of  him  that  ruleth  among  fools. 

IS  ''Wisdom  is  better  than  wea- 
pons of  war:  but  one  '"sinner 
destroyeth  much  good. 

CHAPTER  10 

Reflections   on  wisdom  and  folly;    16  on 
riot,  18  slothfulness,  19  and  money. 

EAD  *flies  cause  the  "oint- 
ment of  the  ^apothecary 
to  send  forth  a  stinking  savour: 
so  dofh  a  Httle  folly  Miim  that  is 
in  reputation  for  '^■''wisdom  and 
honour. 

2  A.  "^wise  man's  heart  is  at  his 
right  hand;  but  a  ^fool's  heart  at 
his  left. 

3  Yea  also,  when  he  that  is  a 
fool  walketh  by  the  way,  his  wis- 
dom faileth  him,  and  he  saith  to 
every  one  that  he  is  a  fool. 

4  If  the  spirit  of  the  ^' "ruler  rise 
iip  against  thee,  ''■'■■'leave  not  thy 
place;  for  ^yielding  -pacifieth 
great    offences. 

5  There  is  an  evil  which  I 
have  seen  under  the  sun,  as  an 
error  which  proceedeth  from  the 
'ruler: 

G  Folly  is  set  in  great  dignity, 
and  the  rich  sit  in  low  place. 

7  I  have  seen  servants  upon 
horses,  and  princes  walking  as 
servants  upon  the  earth. 

8  "'He  that  diggeth  a  "pit  shall 
fall  into  it;  and  whoso  breakcth 
an  "hedge,  a  ^serpent  shall  bite 
him. 

9  Whoso  ^removeth  stones  shall 
be  hurt  therewith;  and.  he  that 
cleaveth  w'ood  shall  l)e  endan- 
gered thereby. 

10  If  the  ^iron  be  blunt,  and  he 
do  not  whet  the  edge,  then  must 


he   put   to   more   strength:   but 
''wisdom  is  profitable  to  direct. 

11  ^Surely  the  ''serpent  will 
bite  without  enchantment;  and 
a  babbler  is  no  better. 

12  The  *words  of  a  ''wise  man's 
mouth  are  gracious;  but  the  *lips 
of  a  '^fool  will  swallow  up  himself. 

13  The  beginning  of  the  Hvords 
of  his  mouth  is  foolishness:  and 
the  end  of  his  ^talk  is  mischiev- 
ous madness. 

14  A  fool  also  is  full  of  Avords:  a 
man  cannot  tell  what  shall  be; 
and  w4iat  shall  be  after  him,  who 
can  tell  him  ? 

15  The  labour  of  the  '^foolish 
wearieth  every  one  of  them,  be- 
cause he  knoweth  not  how  to  go 
to  the  city. 

16  ^  Woe  to  thee,  O  land,  when 
thy  king  is  a  child,  and  thy 
princes  eat  in  the  morning! 

17  ■''Blessed  art  thou,  O  land, 
when  thy  ''king  is  the  son  of 
nobles,  and  thy  princes  eat  in 
due  season,  for  strength,  and  not 
for  drunkenness! 

18  t  By  much  '"slothfulness  the 
^building  decayeth;  and  through 
^idleness  of  the  hands  the  house 
^droppeth  through. 

19  ^  A  ^feast  is  made  for 
laughter,  and  ^wine  maketh 
merry:  but  ^' "money  answereth 
all  things. 

20  T[  *• ''•''Cur.se  not  the  ^-^king, 
no  not  in  thy  thought;  and  curse 
not  the  rich  in  thy  bedchamber: 
for  a  bird  of  the  air  shall  carry 
the  voice,  and  that  which  hath 
wings  shall  tell  the  matter.

4  ^He  that  observe th  the  ''wind

7  ^  Truly  the  light  is  sweet,  and 
a  pleasant  thing  it  is  for  the  eyes

8  But  if  a  man  live  many  years, 
and  rejoice  in  them  all;  yet  let

their  delight  in  each  other.  8  He  invites 
her  to  behold  tlie  beauties  of  spring.  14 
His  care  of  her.     16  Her  trust  in  him. 

I  AM  the  "rose  of  *Shar'on,  and 
the  '^lily  of  the  valleys. 

2  As  the  '^lily  among  thorns,  so 
is  my  love  among  the  daughters. 

3  As  the  apple  tree  among  the 
trees  of  the  wood,  so  is  my  be- 
loved among  the  sons.  I  sat 
down  under  his  shadow  with 
great  delight,  and  his  fruit  was 
sweet  to  my  taste. 

4  He  lirought  me  to  the  ban- 
f[ueting  house,  and  his  banner 
over  me  was  "^love. 

5  Stay  me  with  'flagons,  com- 
fort me  with  apples:  for  I  am 
sick  of  love. 

6  His  left  hand  is  under  my 
head,  and  his  right  hand  doth 
embrace  me. 

7  I  ^charge  you,  O  ye  daugh- 
ters of  Je-rii'sa-lem,  by  the  roes, 
and  by  the  hinds  of  tlie  field, 
that  ye  stir  not  uj),  nor  ^awake 
mij  love,  till  he  please. 

8  ^\  The  voice  of  my  beloved! 
behold,  he  coincth  leaping  upon 
the  mountains,  skipping  upon 
the  hills. 

9  ]My  beloved  is  like  a  roe  or  a 
young  hart:  behold,  he  standeth 
behind  our  wall,  he  looketh  forth 


at  the  windows,  shewing  himself 
through  the  lattice. 

10  jVIy  beloved  spake,  and  said 
unto  me,  Rise  up,  my  love,  my 
fair  one,  and  come  away. 

11  For,  lo,  the  ''winter  is  past, 
the  ^rain  is  over  and  gone; 

12  The  flowers  appear  on  the 
earth;  the  time  of  the  singing  of 
^hirds  is  come,  and  the  voice  of 
the  turtle  is  heard  in  our  land; 

13  The  "fig  tree  ^putteth  forth 
her  green  figs,  and  the  vines 
^with  the  tender  *grape  give  a 
good  smell.  Arise,  my  love,  my 
fair  one,  and  come  away. 

14  O  my  dove,  that  art  in  the 
clefts  of  the  rock,  in  the  ^secret 
places  of  the  stairs,  let  me  see 
thy  countenance,  let  me  hear 
thy  voice;  for  sweet  is  thy  voice, 
and  thy  countenance  is  comely. 

15  Take  us  the  'foxes,  the  little 
foxes,  that  spoil  the  ^vines:  for 
our  vines  have  tender  '^grapes. 

16  ^  jMy  beloved  is  mine,  and  I 
am  his:  he  ^feedeth  among  the 
^lilies. 

17  Until  the  day  ^break,  and  the 
shadows  flee  away,  turn,  my  be- 
loved, and  be  thou  like  a  roe  or 
a  young  hart  upon  the  moun- 
tains of  Be'ther. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  bride's  despondency.      6    The  splendor 
of  the  beloved. 

BY  night  on  my  bed  I  sought 
him  whom  my  soul  lov- 
eth:  I  sought  him,  but  I  found 
him  not. 

2  I  will  rise  now,  and  go  about 
the  city  in  the  streets,  and  in  the 
broad  ways  I  will  seek  him  whom 
my  soul  loveth:  I  sought  him, 
but  I  found  him  not. 

3  The  "watchmen  that  go  about 
the  city  found  me:  to  whom  I 
said,  Saw  ye  him  whom  my  soul 
loveth  ? 

4  It  was  but  a  little  that  I 
passed  from  them,  but  I  found 
him  whom  my  soul  loveth:    I

men  are  about  it,  of  the  valiant 
of  Ls'ra-el. 

8  They  all  hold  "swords,  being 
expert  in  war:  every  man  hath 
his  sword  upon  his  thigh  because 
of  fear  in  the  night. 

9  King  ^Sol'o-mon  made  him- 
self a  ^chariot  of  tlie  wood  of

10  He  made  the  pillars  thereof

CHAPTER  4 

The  beloved  sets  forth  the  graces  of  the  bride. 
8  His  love  for  her.  16  Her  desire  for  his 
presence. 

BEHOLD,  thou  art  fair,  my 
love;  behold,  thou  art  fair; 
^thou  hast  doves'  eyes  within  thy 
locks:  thy  hair  is  as  a  flock  of 
goats,  that  ^appear  from  mount 
*Gil'e-ad. 
2  Thy   teeth   are  like   a  flock 


of  ^sheep  that  are  even  shorn, 
which  came  up  from  the  washing; 
whereof  every  one  bear  twins,  and 
none  is  ^barren  among  them. 

3  Thy  lips  are  like  a  thread  of 
scarlet,  and  thy  speech  is  come- 
ly: thy  temples  are  like  a  piece 
of  a  ''pomegranate  ^within  thy 
locks. 

4  Thy  neck  is  like  the  *tower  of 
Da'vid  builded  for  an  '^armoury, 
whereon  there  hang  a  thousand 
''bucklers,  all  shields  of  mighty 
men. 

5  Thy  two  breasts  are  like  two 
young  roes  that  are  twins,  which 
feed  among  the  lilies. 

6  Until  the  day  ^break,  and  the 
shadows  flee  away,  I  will  get  me 
to  the  mountain  of  ''myrrh,  and 
to  the  hill  of  %ankincense. 

7  Thou  art  all  fair,  my  love; 
there  is  no  spot  in  thee. 

8  ^  Come  with  me  from  ^Leb'- 
a-non,  7711/  ^spouse,  witli  me  from 
Leb'a-non:  look  from  the  top  of 
Am'a-na,  from  the  top  of  She'nir 
and  'TIer'mon,  from  the  lions' 
dens,  from  the  mountains  of  the

9  Thou  hast  ravished  my  heart, 
my  sister,  my  ^spouse;  thou  hast 
ravished  my  heart  with  one  of 
thine  eyes,  with  one  chain  of  thy 
neck. 

10  How  fair  is  thy  Move,  my  sis-

1 1  Thy  lips,  O  my  ^spouse,  drop

CHAPTER  5 

The  beloved  in  his  gnrdcn.      Z  The  bride's 
love  for  him.     9  His  graces  described. 

IAjSI  come  into  my  garden,  my 
sister,  mij  'spouse:  I  have 
gathered  my  "myrrh  with  my 
''spice;  I  have  eaten  my  honey- 
comb with  my  'honey;  I  have 
drunk  my ''wine  with  my  ''milk: 
eat,  O  friends;  drink,  yea,  drink 
abundantly,  O  beloved. 

2^1  sleep,  but  my  heart 
waketli:  if  is  the  voice  of  my 
belovetl  that  knocketh,  saying, 
Open  to  me,  my  sister,  my  love, 
my  Jove,  my  undefiled:  for  my 
heaa  is  filled  with  dew,  and  my 
locks  with  the  drops  of  the 
night. 

3  1  have  })ut  off  my  coat;  how 
shall  I  put  it  on  ?  I  have  Avashed 
my  feet;  how  shall  I  defile  them  ? 

4  iVIy  beloved  ))iit  in  his  hand 
by  the  hole  oj  the  door,  and  my 
-"bowels  were  moved  for  him. 

5  I  rose  up  tcj  open  to  my  be- 
loved; and  my  hands  dropped 
irifii  myrrh,  and  my  fingers  wiili 
•'sweet  smelling  myrrh,  wyiow  the 
handles  of  the  Mock. 

f)  I  opened  to  my  beloved;  but 
my  l)eloved  had  withdrawn  him- 
self, and  was  gone:  my  soul  failed 
when  he  spake:  I  sought  him. 


but  I  could  not  find  him;  I  called 
him,  l)ut  he  gave  me  no  answer. 

7  The  ''watchmen  that  went 
about  the  city  found  me,  they 
smote  me,  they  wounded  me;  the 
keepers  of  the  walls  took  away 
my  ^veil  from  me. 

8  I  ^charge  you,  O  daughters  of 
Je-rii'sa-lem,  if  ye  find  my  be- 
loved, that  ye  tell  him,  that  I  am 
sick  of  love. 

9  ^  What  if!  thy  beloved  more 
than  anofJirr  beloved,  O  thou 
fairest  among  women  ?  what  is 
thy  beloved  more  than  an- 
other beloved,  that  thou  dost  so 
''charge  us  ? 

10  ^  My  beloved  is  white  and 
ruddy,  the  chiefest  among  ten 
thousand. 

11  His  head  is  as  the  most  fine 
gold,  his  locks  are  bushy,  a7ul 
black  as  a  raven. 

12  His  eyes  are  ^as  the  eyes  of 
doves  by  the  rivers  of  waters, 
washed  with  milk,  and  fitly  set. 

13  His  cheeks  are  as  a  bed 
of  spices,  as  sweet  flowers:  his 
lips  like  lilies,  dropping  ^sweet 
smelling  myrrh. 

14  His  hands  are  as  gold  rings 
set  with  the  'beryl:  his  *belly  is 
as  bright  ^ivory  overlaid  ^vit]l 
'sapphires. 

15  His  legs  are  as  pillars  of 
'marble,  set  upon  sockets  of  fine 
gold:  his  '"countenance  is  as 
"Lf'b'a-non,  excellent  as  the 
'^cedars. 

16  His  mouth  is  most  sweet: 
yea,  he  is  altogether  lovely.  This 
is  my  beloved,  and  this  is  my 
"friend,  C)  daughters  of  Je-ri/- 
sa-lem.

2  Tf  My  beloved  is  gone  down 
into  his  garden,  to  the  beds  of 
"spices,  to  feed  in  the  gardens, 
and  to  gather  ''Hhes. 

3  1  am  my  beloved's,  and  my 
beloved  is  mine:  he  feedeth 
'among  the  lilies. 

4  ^  Thou  art  beautiful,  O  my 
love,  as  Tir'zah,  comely  as  '^Je- 
rii'sa-lem,  terrible  as  an  ^armi/ 
with  '^banners. 

5  Turn  away  thine  eyes  from 
me,  for  they  have  overcome  me: 
thy  hair  is  as  a  flock  of  goats 
that  -apjiear  from  ''Gil'e-ad. 

6  Thy  teeth  are  as  a  flock  of 
sheep  which  go  up  from  the 
washing,  whereof  every  one 
beareth  twins,  and  HJiere  is  not 
one  barren  among  them. 

7  As  a  piece  of  a  pomegranate 
a7-e  thy  temples  %ithin  thy  locks. 

8  There  are  threescore  queens, 
and  fourscore  concubines,  and 
virgins  without  number. 

9  My  dove,  my  undefiled  is  hut 
one;  she  is  the  only  one  of  her 
mother,  she  is  the  choice  one  of 
her  that  bare  her.  The  daugh- 
ters saw  her,  and  blessed  her; 
yea,  the  queens  and  the  concu- 
bines, and  they  praised  her. 

10  i  Who  is  she  that  looketh 
forth  as  the  morning,  fair  as  the 
*moon,  clear  as  the  ^sun,  and 
terrible  as  aii  ''army  with  ''ban- 
ners ? 

11  I  went  down  into  the  gar- 
den of  nuts  to  see  the  ^fruits  of 
the  valley,  and  to  see  whether  the 
vine  ^flourished,  and  the  pome- 
granates ^budded. 

12  Or  ever  I  was  aware,  my 


soul  ^rnade  me  like  the  chariots 
of  Am'mi-na'dib. 

13  Return,  return,  O  Shii'lam- 
ite;  return,  return,  that  we 
may  look  upon  thee.  ^What  will 
ye  see  in  the  Shi/lam-Ite  ?  As 
it  were  the  company  of  two 
armies.

man. 

2  "Thy  navel  is  like  a  round 
goblet,  which  wanteth  not  liq- 
uor: thy  belly  is  like  an  heap 
of  wheat  set  about  with  lilies. 

3  Thy  two  breasts  are  like  two 
young  roes  that  are  twins. 

4  Thy  neck  is  as  a  tower  of 
''ivory;  thine  eyes  like  the  fish- 
pools  in  *Hesh'bon,  by  the  gate 
of  Bath-rab'lnm:  thy  nose  is  as 
the  tower  of  ''Leb'a-non  which 
looketh  toward  '*Da-mas'cus. 

5  Thine  head  upon  thee  is  like 
'^Ciir'mel,  and  the  hair  of  thine 
head  like  purple;  the  king  is  held 
^in  the  galleries. 

6  How  fair  and  how  pleasant 
art  thou,  O  love,  for  delights! 

7  This  thy  stature  is  like  to  a 
*palm  tree,  and  thy  breasts  to 
^clusters  of  grapes. 

8  I  said,  I  will  ''go  up  to  the 
*palm  tree,  I  will  take  hold  of 
the  boughs  thereof:  now  also 
thy  breasts  shall  be  as  clusters 
of  the  vine,  and  the  smell  of 
thy  "nose  like  apples;

11  Come,  my  beloved,  let  us  go 
forth  into  the  field;  let  us  lodge 
in  the  villages. 

12  Let  us  get  up  early  to  the 
vineyards;  let  us  see  ^if  the  vine 
i\ouv\s\i,  whether  the  tender  grape 
appear,  and  the  j^omegranates

and  at  our  gates  are  all  manner 
of  pleasant  fruits,  new  and  old, 
which  I  have  laid  up  for  thee,  O 
my  beloved. 

CHAPTER  8 

The  delight  of  the  bride  aiid  her  beloved  in 
each,  other.  6  I.ove  strong  as  death.  8 
The  bride's  desire  in  behalf  of  her  sister. 
14  She  longs  for  the  coming  of  her  beloved. 

OTHAT  thou  wcrt  as  my 
brother,  that  sucked  the 
breasts  of  my  mother!  ivheii  I 
should  find  thee  without,  I  would 
kiss  thee;  yea,  I  should  not  be 
des])i.sed. 

2  I  would  lead  thee,  and  bring 
thee  into  my  mother's  house, 
who  woul  1  "instruct  me:  I 
would  cau.se  tliee  to  drink  of 
spieled  ^wine  of  the  juice  of  my 
'^pomegranate. 

3  His  left  hand  should  be  un- 
der my  head,  and  his  right  hand 
should  embrace  me. 

4  I  'charge  you,  O  daughters 
of  Je-rii'sa-lem,  that  ye  stir  not 
up,  nor  awake  viij  love,  until  he 
please. 

5  Tl  Who  is  this  that  cometh  up 
from  tlie  wilderness,  leaning  up- 
(jn  her  beloved  ?  1  raised  thee  up 


under  the  apple  tree:  there  thy 
mother  brought  thee  forth:  there 
she  brought  thee  forth  that  bare 
thee. 

6  Set  me  as  a  seal  upon  thine 
heart,  as  a  seal  upon  thine  arm: 
for  ''love  is  strong  as  Meath; 
^•"jealousy  is  cruel  as  the  grave: 
-the  coals  thereof  are  coals  of 
fire,  which  hatli  a  most  vehe- 
ment  flame. 

7  Many  waters  cannot  quench 
''love,  neither  can  the  floods 
drown  it:  if  a  man  would  give 
all  the  substance  of  his  house 
for  love,  it  would  utterly  be 
contemned. 

8  Tl  We  have  a  little  sister,  and 
she  hath  no  breasts:  what  shall 
we  do  for  our  sister  in  the  day 
when  she  shall  be  spoken  for  ? 

9  If  she  be  a  wall,  we  will  build 
ui)on  her  a  ^palace  of  silver:  and 
if  she  be  a  door,  we  will  inclose 
her  with  boards  of  cedar. 

10  1  am  a  wall,  and  my  breasts 
like  towers:  then  was  I  in  his 
eyes   as  one  that  found  favour. 

11  Sol'o-mon  had  a  vineyard 
at  Ba'al-ha'mon;  he  let  out  the 
vineyard  unto  keepers;  every  one 
f(jr  the  fruit  thereof  was  to  bring 
a  thousand  pieces  of  silver. 

12  My  vineyard,  which  is  mine, 
(".s'  before  me:  thou,  O  Sol'o-mon, 
vmsi  have  a  thousand,  and  those 
that  kcc|)  the  fruit  diereof  two 
hundred. 

13  Thou  that  dweflest  in  the 
gardens,  the  companions  heark- 
en to  thy  voice:  cause  me  to 
hear  it. 

14  II  Make  haste,  my  beloved, 
and  be  thou  like  to  a  roe  or  to  a 
young  hart  upon  the  mountains 
of  spices.

and  every  one  by  his  neighbour: 
the  ^child  shall  behave  himself 
proudly  against  the  ancient,  and 
the  base  against  the  honourable.

of  his  brother  of  the  house  of  his 
father,  saying,  Thou  hast  cloth-

this  ruin  he  under  thy  hand:

saying,  I  will  not  be  an  healer; 
for  in  my  house  is  neither  bread 
nor  clothing:  make  me  not  a 
ruler  of  the  people. 

8  For  '^.Te-ni'sa-lcm  is  'ruined, 
and  '^.lu'dali  is  fallen:  because 
their  tongue  and  their  doings  are 
against  the  Lord,  to  provoke 
the  eyes  of  his  glory.

rewarded  *evil  unto  themselves. 

10  Say  ye  to  the  '^righteous,  that 
Ht  shall  be  well  with  him:  for 
'•"they  shall  eat  the  fruit  of  their 
doings. 

11  Woe  unto  the  wicked!  ^it 
shall  be  ill  with  hivv.  'for  the 
'"reward  of  his  hands  shall  be 
given  him. 

12  As  for  my  people,  children 
are  their  oppressors,  and  '"women 
rule  over  them.  O  my  people, 
they  which  lead  thee  cause  thee 
to  err,  and  destroy  the  way  of  thy 
paths. 

13  ^  The  Lord  standeth  up 
to  plead,  and  standeth  to  ^judge 
the  people. 

14  The  Lord  will  enter  into 
judgment  with  the  ancients  of  his 
people,  and  the  "jjrinces  thereof: 
for  ye  have  eaten  up  die  vine- 
yard; ^the  spoil  of  the  "poor  is  in 
your  houses. 

15  What  mean  ye  that  ye  beat 
my  people  to  pieces,  and  grind 
the  faces  of  the  "poor  ?  saith  the 
Lord  ^GoD  of  hosts. 

16  Tf  Moreover  the  Lord  saith, 
Because  the  daughters  of  Zl'on 
are  "haughty,  and  walk  with 
stretched  forth  necks  and  wan- 
ton eyes,  walking  and  mincing  as 
they  go,  and  making  a  "^tinkling 
with  their  ''feet: 

17  Therefore  the  Lord  will 
''smite  with  a  /•''scab  the  crown 
of  the  head  of  the  daughters  of 
Zl'on,  and  the  Lord  will  *dis- 
cover  their  secret  parts, 

18  In  that  day  the  Lord  will 
take  away  the  ^bravery  of  their 
tinkling  "ornaments  about  their 
''feet,  and  their  cauls,  and  their 
round  ''tires  like  the  moon, 

19  The  ^chains,  and  the  *brace- 
lets,  and  the  ^mufflers, 

20  The  ^^  ^'bonnets,  and  the  or- 
naments of  the  legs,  and  the 
headbands,  and  the  'tablets,  and 
the  earrings, 


21  The  "rings,  and  nose  jewels, 

22  ^•^The  changeable  suits  of 
apparel,  and  the  mantles,  and 
the  ^wimples,  and  the  ^"crisping 
pins, 

23  The  "glasses,  and  the  fine 
"linen,  and  the  ^^'^hoods,  and 
the  "vails. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
tliat  instead  of  sweet  ^^smell  there 
shall  be  "stink;  and  instead  of  a 
^girdle  a  ^^rent;  and  instead  of 
well  set  hair  ^baldness;  and  in- 
stead of  a  stomacher  a  girding 
of  '^sackcloth;  ^'^and  burning  in- 
stead of  "beauty. 

25  Thy  men  shall  fall  by  the 
sword,  and  thy  mighty  in  the 
'war. 

26  'And  her  "gates  shall  lament 
and  ''mourn;  and  she  being  deso- 
late shall  sit  upon  the  ground.

own  bread,  and  wear  our  own 
apparel:  only  let  us  ''•''be  called 
by  thy  name,  to  take  away  our 
reproach. 

2  \  In  that  day  shall  the

ful and  glorious,  and  the  fruit  of 
the  earth  shall  be  excellent  and 
comely  for  them  that  are  escaped 
of  Is'ra-el. 

3  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  he  that  is  left  in  Zi'on,  and

loved touching  his  ''-'^vineyard. 
^ly  wellbeloved  hath  a  vineyard 
in  a  very  fruitful  hill:

planted  it  with  the  choicest  vine, 
and  built  a  "^tower  in  the  midst  of 
it,  and  also  -made  a  *winepress 
therein:  and  he  looked  that  it 
should  bring  forth  ^-/grapes,  and

Then  ""said  I,  Here  a7n  I;  send

Lord  promises  Inimanuel.  17  The  evils 
to  come  upon  Judali  from  Assyria. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
days  of  "A'haz  the  son  of 
''Jo'tham,  the  son  of  '^Uz-zi'ah, 
kino;  of  *Ju'dah,  that  '^Re'zin  the 
king  of  ^Syr'i-a,  and  *Pe'kah  the 
son  of  ^Ili:>in-a-h'ah,  king  of  ''Is'- 
ra-el,  went  up  toward  *Je-ru'sa- 
lem  to  war  against  it,  but  could 
not  prevail  against  it. 

2  iVnd  it  was  told  the  house  of 
Da'vid,  saying,  ''Syr'i-a  is  'con- 
federate with  *E'phra-im.  And 
his  heart  was  moved,  and  the 
heart  of  his  people,  as  the  trees 
of  the  wood  are  moved  with  the 
wind. 

3  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
'I-sa'iah,  Go  forth  now  to  meet 
"A'haz,  thou,  and  She'iir-ja'- 
shiib  thy  son,  at  the  end  of  the

and  be  quiet;  "fear  not,  neither

king  in  the  midst  of  it,  even  the 
son  of  Ta'be-al: 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  It 
shall  not  stand,  neither  shall  it 
come  to  pass. 

8  For  the  head  of  ''Syrl-a  is 
''Da-mas'cus,  and  the  head  of 
Da-mas'cus  is  *Re'zin;  and  with- 
in threescore  and  five  years  shall 
^■' ''E'phrS.-im  be  broken,  that  it 
be  not  a  people. 

9  And  the  head  of  ^'  ^'E'phra-im 
?**  ^S?i-ma'ri-a,  and  the  head  of 
Sa-ma'ri-a  is  Ilem-a-ll'ah's  *son. 
If  ye  will  *not  believe,  surely  ye 
shall  not  be  established. 

10  ^  Moreover  the  Lord  spake 
again  unto  '^A'haz,  saying, 

1 1  Ask  thee  a  'sign  of  the  Lord 
thy  God;  ask  it  either  in  the 
depth,  or  in  the  height  above, 

12  But  '^A^iaz  "said,  I  will  not 
ask,  neither  will  I  tempt  the 
Lord. 

13  And  Hie  said.  Hear  ye  now, 
O  house  of  Da'vid;  Is  it  a  small 
thing  for  you  to  weary  men,  but 
will  ye  weary  my  God  also  ? 

14  Therefore  the  Lord  himself 
shall  give  you  a  'sign;  ^-"'Behold, 
a  ^'  ^virgin  shall  conceive,  and 
bear  a  ^■'^son,  and  shall  call  his 
name  ''Im-man'u-el. 

15  '^Butter  and  ^honey  shall  he 
eat,  that  he  may  know  to  ^refuse 
the  evil,  and  choose  the  good. 

16  For  before  the  child  shall 
know  to  ''refuse  the  evil,  and 
choose  the  good,  the  land  Hhat 
thou  abhorrest  shall  be  forsaken 
of  both  her  kings. 

17  T[  The  Lord  shall  bring  up- 
on thee,  and  upon  thy  people, 
and  upon  thy  father's  house, 
days  that  have  not  come,  from 
the  day  that  '^E'phra-im  depart- 
ed from  "Ju'dali;  even  the  king 
of  ''As-svr'i-a. 


18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  the  Lord  shall 
hiss  for  the  fly  that  is  in  the 
uttermost  part  of  the  rivers  of 
^E'gypt,  and  for  the  bee  that 
is  in  the  land  of  ''As-syr'i-a. 

19  And  they  shall  come,  and 
shall  rest  all  of  them  in  the  deso- 
late valleys,  and  in  the  holes  of 
the  rocks,  and  upon  all  thorns, 
and  upon  all  ^bushes. 

20  In  the  same  day  shall  the 
Lord  shave  with  a  razor  that  is 
hired,  namelij,  by  them  beyond 
the  river,  by  the  king  of  As-syr'- 
i-a,  the  head,  and  the  hair  of  the 
feet:  and  it  shall  also  consume 
the  beard. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  a  man  shall  nour- 
ish a  young  cow,  and  two  sheep ; 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  for 
the  abundance  of  'milk  that  they 
shall  give  he  shall  eat  ^butter:  for 
butter  and  ''lioney  shall  every  one 
eat  that  is  left  in  the  land. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  every  place  shall 
be,  where  there  were  a  thousand 
vines  at  a  thousand  silverlings,  it 
shall  Pi;e?i  be  for  briers  and  thorns. 

24  With  arrows  and  with  ^bows 
shall  men  come  thither;  because 
all  the  land  shall  become  briers 
and  thorns. 

25  And  on  all  hills  that  shall  be 
digged  with  the  'mattock,  there 
shall  not  come  thither  the  fear  of 
briers  and  thorns :  but  it  shall  be 
for  the  sending  forth  of  oxen,  and 
for  the  treading  of  ^lesser  cattle.

''witnesses  to  record,  ^-rl'ah  tiie 
priest,  and  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son 
of  Je-ber-e-chl'ah. 

3  And  I  went  unto  the  prophet- 
ess; and  she  conceived,  and  bare 
a  son.  Then  said  the  Lord  to 
me.  Call  his  name  Ma'her-shal'- 
al-hash'-baz. 

•1  For  "before  the  child  shall 
liave  knowledge  to  cry,  My  fa- 
ther, and  my  mother,  the  riches 
of  *'"Da-mas'cus  and  the  spoil 
of  'Sri-nia'ri-a  shall  be  taken 
away  before  the  ^king  of  ^As- 
syr'i-a. 

5  ^  The  Lord  "spake  also  unto 
me  again,  saying, 

6  Forasmuch  as  "this  people  re- 
fuseth  the  waters  of  Sht-lo'ah 
that  go  softly,  and  rejoice  in 
^lle'zin  and  Hlem-a-ll'ah's  '"son; 

7  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  "bringeth  up  upon  "them 
the  waters  of  the  "river,  sti'ong 
and  many,  even  the  %ing  of 
^As-syr'^-ii,  and  all  his  glory: 
and  he  shall  come  up  over  all 
his  channels,  and  go  over  all 
his   banks: 

8  And  he  shall  pass  through 
''Ju'dah;  he  shall  overflow  and 
go  over,  he  shall  reach  even  to 
the  neck;  and  the  stretching  out 
of  his  wings  shall  fill  the  breadth 
of  thy  land,  O  Im-man'u-el. 

9  Tl  ^\ssociate  yourselves,  O  ye

countries:  gird  yourselves,  and 
ye  shall  })e  liroken  in  pieces;  gird 
yourselves,  and  ye  sh;ill  l)e  l)ro- 
ken  in  pieces. 

10  Take  counsel  together,  and 
it  shall  come  to  nought;  speak 


the  W(jrd,  and  it  shall  not  stand: 
for  *Gotl  is  with  us. 

11  For  the  Lord  "spake  thus  to 
''me  with  a  strong  hand,  and  in- 
structed me  that  I  should  not 
walk  in  the  ''way  of  this  ^pc^ple, 
saying, 

12  Say  ye  not,  A  ^confederacy, 
to  all  them  to  whom  this  people 
shall  say,  A  confederacy;  neither 
fear  ye  their  fear,  nor  be  afraid. 

13  Sanctify  the  Lord  of  hosts 
himself;  and  'let  him  be  your 
"fear,  and  let  him  be  your  dread. 

14  And  he  shall  be  for  a  sanctu- 
ary; but  for  a  '^stone  of  '''stum- 
bling and  for  a  rock  of  offence  to 
both  the  houses  of  Is'ra-el,  for  a 
gin  and  for  a  snare  to  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15  And  many  among  them  shall 
stumble,  and  fall,  and  be  broken, 
and  be  snared,  and  be  taken. 

16  Bind  up  the  testimony,  seal 
the  law  among  my  disciples. 

17  And  I  "will  wait  ui^on  the 
Lord,  that  hideth  his  face  from 
the  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  I  will 
look  for  him. 

18  Behold,  ^I  and  the  children 
whom  the  Lord  hath  given  me 
are  for  signs  and  for  wonders  in 
Ls'ra-el  from  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
which  dwelleth  in  mount  Zl'on.

called  "Wonderful,  "•'^'Counsel- 
lor, "''"The  mighty  God,  "The 
everlasting  Father,  "The  Prince 
of  ^Peace. 

7  '^Of  the  increase  of  'his  gov- 
ernment and  ^peace  there  shall 
be  no  end,  upon  the  ^throne  of 
^Da'vid,  and  upon  his  kingdom, 
to  order  it,  and  to  estaV)lish  it 
with  judgment  and  with  justice 
from  henceforth  even  for  ever. 
The  zeal  of  the  Lord  of  hosts 
will  perform  this. 

8  T[  The  Lord  sent  a  word  into 
Ja'cob,  and  it  hath  lighted  upon 
Is'ra-el. 

9  And  all  the  people  shall  know, 
even  "E'phra-im  and  the  inhal:)i- 
tant  of  ''Sfi-ma'ri-a,  that  say  in 
the  pride  and  ''stoutness  of  heart, 

10  The  ''bricks  are  fallen  down, 
but  ''we  will  build  with  hewn 
''stones:  the  ''sycomores  are  cut 
down,  but  we  will  change  them 
into  *cedars. 

11  Therefore  the  Lord  ''shall 
set  up  the  adversaries  of  'Re'zin 
against  him,  and  join  his  en- 
emies together; 

12  The  'Syr'i-ans  before,  and 
the  *Phi-lis'tine.s  behind;  and 
they  shall  devour  U.g'ra-el  with 
open  mouth.  For  all  this  his 
'"anger  is  not  turned  away,  but 
his  ''hand  is  stretched  out  still. 

13  T[  For  the  "people  "turneth 
not  unto  him  that  ''-^^smiteth 
them,  "neither  do  they  seek  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

14  Therefore  the  Lord  will 
''•"cut  oft'  from  'Ts'ra-el  head  and 
tail,  branch  and  rush,  in  one  day. 

15  The  ancient  and  honourable, 
he  is  the  head;  and  the  ^prophet 
that  teacheth  lies,  he  is  the  tail.

14  "And  my  hand  hath  found 
as  a  nest  the  riches  of  the  people : 
and  as  one  gathereth  eggs  that 
are  left,  have  I  gathered  all  the 
earth,  and  there  was  none  that 
moved  the  wing,  or  opened  the

of  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  shall  no 
more  again  stay  upon  him  that 
smote  them;  but  "shall  stay  upon 
the  Lord,  the  "'Holy  One  of  I§'-

shall  overflow  with  righteous-

23  For  the  Lord  God  of  hosts 
shall  make  a  consumption,  even 
determined,  in  the  midst  of  all

up  after  the  manner  of  ''E'gypt. 

27  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  his  burden  shall  be 
taken  away  from  oft'  thy  shoul- 
der, and  his  ^yoke  from  off  thy 
neck,  and  the  yoke  shall  be  de-

3  And  ^shall  make  him  of  quick 
understanding  in  the  fear  of  the 
Lord:  and  he  shall  not  ^judge 
after  the  sight  of  his  eyes,  nei- 
ther reprove  after  the  hearing  of 
his  ears: 

4  But  with  ''-'righteousness 
shall  he  "judge  the  'poor,  and  re- 
prove with  equity  for  the  meek 
of  the  earth:  and  ''he  shall  smite 
the  earth  with  the  rod  of  his 
mouth,  and  with  the  breath  of 
his  lips  shall  he  slay  the  'wicked. 

5  And  ''''righteousness  sliall  be 
the  "'girdle  of  his  loins,  and 
"faithfulness  the  '"girdle  of  his 
reins. 

6  "•P-'The  Volf  also  shall  dwell 
with  the  *larab,  and  the  leopard 
shall  lie  down  with  the  kid;  and 
the  calf  and  the  young  lion  and 
the  fatling  togetlier;  and  a  little 
child  shall  lead  them. 

7  And  the  cow  and  the  "bear 
shall  feed;  their  young  ones  shall 
lie  down  together:  and  the  lion 
shall  eat  straw  like  the  ox. 

8  And  the  sucking  child  shall 


play  on  the  hole  of  the  ''asp,  and 
tlie  weaned  child  shall  put  his 
hand  on  the  *cockatrice'  den. 

9  They  shall  not  hurt  nor  de- 
s'^roy  in  all  my  holy  mountain: 
for  the  earth  shall  be  full  of  the 
"'■■''knowledge  of  the  Lord,  as 
the  waters  cover  the  sea. 

10  And  ^'^in  that  day  "there

to  recover  the  remnnnt  of  his

12  And  he  shall  set  up  an

16  And  there  shall  be  an  high-

ple, which  shall  be  left,  from

CHAPTER  12 

A  song  of  thanksgiving  to  God  for  his  mercies 
unto  his  people. 

AND  in  that  day  thou  shaltsay, 
O  Lord,  I  will  "•  "praise 
thee:  though  thou  wast  ''angry 
with  me,  '^thine  anger  is  tiu'ued 
away,  and  thou  '^comfortedst  me. 

2  Behold,  God  is  my  ^•''salva- 
tion; I  will  ''trust,  and  not  be 
afraid:  for  the  Lord  JE-HO'- 
VAH  is  my  strength  and  mi/ 
song;  he  also  is  become  my  sal- 
vation. 

3  Therefore  'with  'joy  shall  ye 
draw  water  out  of  the  *wells  of 
''salvation. 

4  And  in  that  day  shall  ye  say, 
"•''Praise  the  Lord,  call  upon 
his  name,  'declare  his  doings 
among  the  people,  make  men- 
tion that  his  name  is  exalted. 

5  "-''•'"Sing  unto  the  Lord;  for 
he  hath  done  excellent  things: 
^•'this  is  known  in  all  the  earth. 

6  "■"•'Cry  out  and  "shout,  thou 
inhabitant  of  Zi'on:  for  great  is 
the  "'^Holy  One  of  I.s'ra-el  in 
the  midst  of  'thee. 

CHAPTER  13 

God  musters  the  hosts  of  his  wrath  against 
Babylon.  6  Their  work  of  slaughter  de- 
scribed.     19  The  desolation  of  Babylon. 

THE   '^burden   of   "Bab'y-lon, 
which  ^Lsa'iah  the  son  of 
''A'moz  did  see. 


2  Lift  ye  up  a  ^banner  upon  the 
high  ^mountain,  exalt  the  voice 
unto  them,  shake  the  hand,  that 
they  may  go  into  the  gates  of  the 
nobles. 

3  I  have  commanded  my  ^sanc- 
tified ones,  I  have  also  called  my 
mighty  ones  for  mine  ^anger, 
even  ^them  that  rejoice  in  my 
highness. 

4  The  noise  of  a  multitude  in 
the  mountains,  like  as  of  a  great 
people;  a  tumultuous  noise  of 
the  kingdoms  of  nations  gath- 
ered together:  the  Lord  of 
hosts  mustereth  the  host  of  the 
battle. 

5  ''They  come  from  a  far  coun- 
try, from  the  end  of  heaven,  even 
the  Lord,  and  the  weapons  of 
his  indignation,  to  destroy  the 
whole  land. 

6  T[  Howl  ye;  for  the  ^•■'day  of 
the  Lord  is  at  hand;  it  shall 
come  as  a  destruction  from  the 
x\lmighty. 

7  Therefore  shall  all  hands  be 
faint,  and  every  man's  heart  shall 
melt: 

8  And  they  shall  be  afraid: 
pangs  and  sorrows  shall  take 
hold  of  them;  they  shall  be  in 
pain  as  a  woman  that  ^'travail- 
cth:  they  shall  be  amazed  one  at 
another;  their  faces  shall  be  as 
flames. 

9  Behold,  the  ^-'day  of  the 
Lord  cometh,  cruel  both  with 
"wrath  and  fierce  anger,  to  kiy 
the  land  desolate:  and  he  shall 
destroy  the  'sinners  thereof  out 
of  it.

Palestine  threatened. 

OR  the  Lord  will  have

will  yet  choose  *Is'ra-el,  and  set 
them  in  their  own  land:  and  the 
strangers  shall  Ijc  joined  with 
them,  and  they  shall  cleave  to 
the  house  of   Ja'cob. 

2  And  the  people  shall  take 
tliem,  and  bring  them  to  their 
place:  and  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
shall  possess  them  in  the  land  of 
the  Lord  for  servants  and  hand- 
maids: and  they  shall  take  them 
captives,  whose  cajitives  they 
were;  and  they  shall  rule  over 
their  o])|)ressors. 

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pa.ss  in 
the  day  that  the  "^Lord  shall 
give  thee  ''rest  from  thy  sorrow, 
and  from  thy  fear,  and  from  the 
hard  bondage  wherein  thou  w^ist 
made  to  serve, 

4  That  thou  shalt  take  up  this 
''jiroverb  against  the  'king  of 
"Bab'y-lon,  and  say.  How  hath 
the  oppressor  ceased  !  the  golden

6  He  who  smote  the  people  in 
wrath  with  a  continual  stroke,  he 
that  ruled  the  nations  in  anger, 
is  persecuted,  and  none  hinder- 
eth. 

7  The  whole  earth  is  at  rest,  and 
is  quiet:  they  break  forth  into 
singing. 

8  Yea,  the  fir  trees  rejoice  at 
thee,  and  the  cedars  of  Leb'- 
a-non,  sayimj,  Since  thou  art 
laid  down,  no  feller  is  come  up 
against  us. 

9  ''Hell  from  beneath  is  moved 
for  thee  to  meet  thee  at  thy  com- 
ing: it  stirreth  up  the  dead  for 
thee,  even  all  the  chief  ones  of 
the  earth ;  it  hath  raised  up  from 
their  thrones  all  the  kings  of  the 
nations. 

10  All  they  shall  speak  and  say 
unto  thee,  Art  thou  also  become 
weak  as  we  ?  art  thou  become 
like  unto  us  ? 

11  Thy  ])omp  is  brought  down 
to  Hhe  grave,  and  the  noise  of 
thy  Viols:  the  worm  is  spread 
under  thee,  and  the  worms  cover 
thee. 

12  How  art  ^thou  fallen  from 
heaven,  O  "Lii'91-fer,  son  of  the 
morn'ng!  how  art  thou  cut  down 
to  the  ground,  which  didst  weak- 
en the  nations  I 

13  For  thou  hast  '^'•'said  in  thine 
heart,  I  will  ascend  into  heaven, 
I  will  exalt  my  throne  above  the 
stars  of  God :  I  will  sit  also  upon 
the  mount  of  the  congregation, 
in  the  sides  of  the  north: 

14  I  will  ascend  above  the 
heights  of  the  clouds;  I  will  be 
like  the  most  High. 

15  Yet  thou  shalt  be  '"brought 
down  to  ''hell,  to  the  sides  of  the 
pit. 

16  They  that  see  thee  shall  nar- 
rowly look  upon  thee,  and  con- 
sider thee,  saying,  Is  this  the 
man  that  made  the  earth  to 
tremble,  that  did  shake  king- 
doms; 


17  Thai  made  the  world  as  a 
wilderness,  and  destroyed  the 
cities  thereof;  that  opened  not 
the  house  of  his  prisoners  ? 

18  All  the  kings  of  the  nations, 
even  all  of  them,  lie  in  glory, 
every  one  in  his  own  house. 

19  But  thou  art  cast  out  of  thy 
grave  like  an  abominablebranch, 
^and  as  the  raiment  of  those  that 
are  slain,  thrust  through  with  a 
sword,  that  go  down  to  the 
stones  of  the  pit;  as  a  carcase 
trodden  under  feet. 

20  Thou  shalt  not  be  joined 
with  them  in  burial,  because 
thou  hast  destroyed  thy  land, 
and  slain  thy  people:  "the  "seetl 
of  evildoers  shall  never  be  re- 
nowned. 

21  ''Pre])are  slaughter  for  his 
"children  for  the  iniquity  of  their 
''fathers;  that  they  do  not  rise, 
nor  possess  the  land,  nor  fill  the 
face  of  the  world  with  cities. 

22  For  I  will  '"rise  up  against 
them,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
and  cut  off  from  ''Bab'y-lon  the 
name,  and  remnant,  and  son, 
and  nephew,  saith  the  Lord. 

23  '"I  will  also  make  it  a  posses- 
sion for  the  ^•'^bittern,  and  pools 
of  water:  and  I  will  sweep  it  with 
the  besom  of  destruction,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

24  Tf  The  TvORD  of  hosts  hath 
^sworn,  saying.  Surely  as  I  have 
thought,  'so  shall  it  come  to  pass; 
and  as  I  have  purposed,  so  shall 
it  stand: 

25  That  I  will  break  the  "As- 
syr'i-an  in  my  land,  and  upon 
my  mountains  tread  him  under 
foot :  then  shall  his  "yoke  depart 
from  oif  them,  and  his  burden 
depart  from  off  their  shoul- 
ders. 

26  This  is  the  purpose  that  is 
purposed  upon  the  whole  earth: 
and  this  is  the  hand  that  is 
stretched  out  upon  all  the  "'na- 
tions.

CHAPTER  15 

The  desolation  of  Moab. 

THE  "burden  of  ''Mo'ab.  Be- 
cau.se  '^in  the  night  '^Ar  of 
Mo'ab  is  ""'laid  waste,  and 
l)rought  to  silence;  because  in 
the  night  "Kir  of  Mo'ab  is  laid 
waste,  and  brought  to  silence; 

2  He  is  gone  up  to  Ba'jitii,  and 
to  ''Dl'bon,  the  high  places,  to 
weep:  *jMo'ab  shall  howl  over 
'Ne'bo,  and  over  'Med'e-ba:  on 
all  their  heads  sliall  he  l)aldness, 
and  every  beard  cut  off. 

3  *''In  their  streets  they  .shall 
gird  themselves  with  *sackcloth: 
on  the  *tops  of  their  houses,  and 
in  their  'streets,  every  one  shall 
howl,  weeping  abundantly. 


4  "-/And  'Hesh'bon  shall  cry, 
and  "'E-le-a'leh :  their  voice  shall 
be  heard  eren  unto  "Ja'haz: 
therefore  the  armetl  soldiers  of 
''jNIo'ab  shall  cry  out;  his  -life 
shall  be  grievous  unto  him. 

5  ]\Iy  heart  shall  cry  out  f(/r 
jNio'ab;  ^his  fugitives  shall  flrr 
unto  "Zo'ar,  an  heifer  of  three 
years  old:  for  by  the  mounting 
up  of  ^Lii'hith  with  weeping 
shall  they  go  it  up;  for  in  the 
way  of  *H6r-o-na'im  they  ,shall 
raise  up  a  cry  of  destruction. 

6  For  the  waters  of  ''Nim'rim 
shall  be  desolate:  for  the  ""hay  is 
withered  away,  the  "'grass  fail- 
eth,  there  is  no  green  thing. 

7  Therefore  the  abundance 
they  have  gotten,  and  that  which 
they  have  laid  U]),  shall  they 
carry  away  to  the  brook  of  the 
willows. 

8  For  the  cry  is  gone  round 
about  the  borders  of  Mo'ab;  the 
howling  thereof  unto  Eg'la-im, 
and  the  howling  thereof  unto 
Be'er-c'lim. 

9  For  the  waters  of  Di'moii 
shall  be  full  of  blood:  for  I  will 
bring  more  upon  Di'mon,  *lions 
upon  him  that  escapetli  of  Mo'- 
ab, and  upon  the  remnant  of  the 
land. 

CHAPTER  16 

Moab  is  exhorted  to  renew  his  allegiance  to

hence  his  desolation  and  distress.  13

nest,  .so  the  daughters  of  ''Mo'ab

day;  hide  the  outcasts;  bewray 
not  him  that  wandereth. 

4  Let  mine  outcasts  dwell  with 
thee,  ^]M5'ab;  be  thou  a  covert  to 
them  from  the  face  of  the  spoiler: 
for  the  *extortioner  is  at  an  end, 
the  spoiler  ceaseth,  the  "oppres- 
sors are  consumed  out  of  the 
land. 

5  And  in  ^mercy  shall  the  throne 
be  established:  and  ''he  shall  sit 
upon  it  in  ''truth  in  the  taber- 
nacle of  Da'vid,  judging,  and 
seeking  judgment,  and  blasting 
righteousness. 

6  T[  We  have  heard  of  the  *pride 
of  Mo'ab;  he  is  very  proud:  even 
of  his  haughtiness,  and  his  pride, 
and  his  wrath:  ^but  his  lies  shall 
not  be  so. 

7  Therefore  shall  "^Mo'ab  howl 
for  Mo'ab,  every  one  shall  howl: 
for  the  ''foundations  of  'Kir- 
hS,r'e-seth  shall  ye  mourn;  surely 
tJiey  are  stricken. 

8  For  the  fields  of  ^Hesh'bon 
languish,  and  ^the  vine  of  'Sib'- 
mah:  the  lords  of  the  heathen 
have  broken  down  the  principal 
plants  thereof,  they  are  come 
even  unto  '"Ja'zer,  they  wan- 
dered through  the  wilderness: 
her  branches  are  stretched 
out,  they  are  gone  over  the 
sea. 

9  Therefore  I  will  bewail  with 
the  weeping  of  '"Ja'zer  the  vine 
of  Sib'mah:  I  will  water  thee 
with  my  tears,  O  "'^Hesh'bon, 
and  "E-le-a'leh :  for  ^the  shoutine: 
for  thy  summer  fruits  and  for  thy 
"harvest  is  fallen. 

10  And  gladness  is  taken  away, 
and  Pjoy  out  of  the  plentiful  field ; 
and  in  the  ^vineyards  there  shall 
be  no  ''singing,  neither  shall 
there  be  shouting:  the  treaders 
shall  tread  out  no  *wine  in  iheir 


presses;  I  have  made  their  vint- 
age shouting  to  cease. 

11  Wherefore  my  bowels  shall 
sound  like  an  harp  for  Mo'ab, 
and  mine  inward  parts  for  'Kir- 
ha'resh. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  it  is  seen  that  Mo'ab  is 
weary  on  the  high  place,  that  he 
shall  come  to  his  sanctuary  to 
pray;  but  he  shall  not  prevail. 

13  This  is  the  word  that  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 
"^Mo'ab  since  that  time. 

14  But  now  the  Lord  hath  spo- 
ken, saying.  Within  three  years, 
as  the  years  of  an  hireling,  and 
the  glory  of  "^''MS'ab  shall  be 
contemned,  with  all  that  great 
multitude ;  and  the  remnant  shall 
be  very  small  and  feeble. 

CHAPTER  17

6  Some  shall  forsake  idolatry;  9  bvt  the 
land  shall  be  plagued  for  its  impiety.  12

THE  "burden  of  "Da-mas'cus. 
Behold,  ''Da-mas'cus  is  ta- 
ken away  from  being  a  city,  and 
it  shall  be  a  ruinous  heap. 

2  The  cities  of  Ar'6-er  are  for- 
saken: they  shall  be  for  flocks, 
which  shall  lie  down,  and  none 
shall  make  them  afraid. 

3  The  fortress  also  shall  cease 
from  '^E'phril-im,  and  the  king- 
dom from  ''Da-mas'cus,  and  the 
remnant  of  ''Syr'i-a:  they  shall  be 
as  the  glory  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  of

4  And  in  that  day  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  the  glory  of  Ja'cob 
shall  be  made  thin,  and  the  fat- 
ness of  his  flesh  shall  wax  lean. 

5  And  it  shall  be  as  when  the

and  reapeth  the  ears  with  his 
arm;  and  it  shall  be  as  he  that

the  top  of  the  uppermost  bough,

Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  At  that  (lay  shall  a  ^man  *look

CHAPTER  19 

Judgments  upon  Egypt.  11  The  counsel  of 
her  princes,  foolishness.  18  Many  of  her 
people  sliall  turn  unto  the  Lord.  23  The 
covenant  of  Egypt,  Assyria,  and  Israel. 

THE  "burden  of  "E'gypt.  Be- 
hold, the  IvORD  rideth  upon 
a  swift  cloud,  and  shall  come  into 
E'gypt:  and  ^the  idols  of  E'gypt 
shall  be  moved  at  his  presence, 
and  the  heart  of  E'gypt  shall 
melt  ill  the  midst  of  it. 

2  And  ''I  will  "-/set  the  "E-gyp'- 
tian.s  against  the  E-gyp'tian.s : 
and  they  shall  fight  every  one 
against  his  brother,  and  every 
one  against  his  neighbour; 
city  against  city,  and  kingdom 
afjainst  kiiifjdom. 

3  And  the  spii'it  of  ''E'gypt  shall 
fail  in  the  midst  thereof;  and  I 
will  destroy  the  counsel  thereof: 
and  they  shall  seek  to  the  idols, 
and  ''to  the  *chariners,  and  to 
them  that  have  familiar  spirits, 
and  to  the  wizards. 

4  And  the  ^E'gyp'tians  will  ^I 
give  over  into  the  hand  of  a  cruel 
lord;  and  a  fierce  king  shall  rule 
over  them,  saith  the  Lord,  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

5  And  the  waters  shall  fail  from 
the  .sea,  and  the  *river  shall  be 
wasted  and  dried  up. 

6  And  Hhey  shall  turn  the  riv- 
ers far  away;  and  the  brooks  of 
defence  shall  be  emptied  and 
dried  up:  the  'reeds  and  flags 
shall  wither. 

7  The  ^paper  reeds  by  the 
^brooks,   by   the   mouth   of   the 


brooks,  and  every  thing  sown 
by  the  brooks,  shall  wither,  be 
driven  away,  and  be  no  moj-e. 

8  The  fishers  also  shall  mourn, 
and  all  they  that  cast  angle  into 
the  ^brooks  shall  lament,  and 
they  that  spread  nets  upon  the 
waters  shall  languish. 

9  Moreover  they  that  work  in 
fine  '"'"flax,  and  they  that  "weave 
^networks,  shall  be  confounded, 

10  And  ^they  shall  be  broken  in 
the  purposes  thereof,  all  that 
make  sluices  and  ponds  for  fish. 

1 1  Surely  the  princes  of  ^Zo'an 
are  fools,  the  counsel  of  the  wise 
counsellors  of  ^Pha'raoh  is  be- 
come brutish:  how  say  ye  unto 
Pha'raoh,  I  am  the  son  of  the 
wise,  the  son  of  ancient  kings  ? 

12  Where  are  they  ?  where  are 
thy  wise  men  ?  and  let  them  tell 
tlice  now,  and  let  them  know 
what  the  '^Lord  of  hosts  hath 
purposed  upon  *E'gypt. 

13  Tlie  princes  of  ^Zo'an  are 
become  fools,  the  princes  of 
^Noph  are  deceived;  they  have 
also  seduced  E'gypt,  eimi  they 
that  are  the  ^stay  of  the  tribes 
thereof. 

14  The  Lord  hath  mingled  a 
perverse  spirit  in  the  midst  there- 
of: and  they  have  caused  E'gypt 
to  err  in  every  work  thereof,  as  a 
Mrunken  man  staggereth  in  his 
vomit. 

15  Neither  shall  there  be  any 
work  for  *E'gypt,  which  the  head 
or  tail,  branch  or  rush,  may  do. 

16  In  that  day  shall  "E'gypt  be 
like  unto  Svomen:  and  'it  shall 
be  afraid  and  fear  because  of 
the  shaking  of  the  'hand  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  which  he  shak- 
eth  over  it. 

17  And  the  land  of  Ju'dah  shall 
be  a  terror  unto  E'gypt,  every 
one  that  maketh  mention  thereof 
shall  be  afraid   in  himself,   be-

IS  In  that  day  shall  five  cities 
in  the  land  of  E'gypt  speak  the 
'lanijuage  of  Ca'naan,  and  swear 
to  the  Lord  of  hosts;  one  shall 
be  called.  The  city  of  destruction. 

19  In  that  day  shall  there  be  an 
altar  to  the  Lord  in  the  midst 
of  the  land  of  *iygvpt,  and  a 
"pillar  at  the  border  thereof  to 
the  Lord. 

20  And  it  shall  be  for  a  sign  and 
for  a  witness  unto  the  Lord  of 
hosts  in  the  land  of  E'gypt:  for 
'they  shall  "cry  unto  the  Lord 
because  of  the  ^oppressors,  and 
he  shall  send  them  a  saviour,  and 
a  "great  one,  and  he  shall  deliver 
them. 

21  And  the  Lord  shall  be 
known  toE'gypt,and  the  E-gyj/- 
tians  shall  know  the  Lord  in 
that  day,  and  shall  ^do  sacrifice 
and  oblation;  yea,  they  shall  vow 
a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  per- 
form it. 

22  And  the  Lord  shall  ^smitc 
E'gypt:  he  shall  smite  and  heal 
it:  and  "they  shall  return  even  to 
the  Lord,  and  he  shall  be  in- 
treated  of  them,  and  shall  heal 
them. 

23  In  that  day  shall  "there  be 
a  highway  out  of  E'gypt  to 
''As-syr'T-a,  and  the  As-syr'i-an 
shall  coine  into  E'gypt,  and  the 
E-gyp'tian  into  As-.syr'i-a,  and 
the  E-gy[/tians  shall  serve  with 
the  As-syr'i-ans. 

24  "In  that  day  shall  Is'ra-el  be 
the  third  with  '^E'gypt  and  with 
''As'syr'i-a,  even  a  blessing  in  tJie

CHAPTER  20 

A  sign  prefiguring  the  captixiity  of  Egypt 
and  Ethiopia. 

IN  the  year  that  '^Tiir'tan  came 
unto  ^iVsh'dod,  (when  Siir'- 
gon  the  king  of  ^As-syr'i-a  sent 
him,)  and  fought  against  Ash'- 
dod,  and  took  it; 

2  At  the  same  time  '^spake  the 
Lord  by  *l-sa'iah  the  son  of 
A'moz,  saying,  ''Go  and  loose  the 
"sackcloth  from  off  thy  loins,  and 
put  off  thy  ''shoe  from  thy  foot. 
And  he  did  so,  *walking  naked 
and  barefoot. 

3  And  the  Lord  said,  IJke  as 
my  servant  'I-sa'iah  hath  walked 
naked  and  barefoot  three  years 
]or  a  sign  and  wonder  ujion  *E'- 
gypt  and  upon  O-^-thi-o'pi-a; 

4  So  shall  the  king  of  '^As-syr'i-a 
lead  away  tiie  *E-gyp'tians  ^'pris- 
oners, and  the  ^E-thi-o'pi-ans 
^captives,  young  and  okl,  naked 
and  barefoot,  even  with  their 
buttocks  uncovered,  to  the 
shame  of  E'gypt. 

5  And  they  shall  be  afraid  and 
ashamed  of  ^E-thi-d'pT-a  their 
ex])ectation,  and  of  'E'gypt  their 
glory. 

6  And  the  inhabitant  of  this

*'E'lam:  besiege,  O  '^Me'di-a;  all 
the  sighing  thereof  have  I  made 
to  cease. 

3  Therefore  are  my  loins  filled 
with  pain:  pangs  have  taken 
hold  upon  me,  as  the  pangs  of  a 
woman  that  ''travaileth :  I  hvas 
bowed  down  at  the  hearing  0/ 
it;  I  was  dismayed  at  the  see- 
ing of  it. 

4  My  heart  panted,  fearfulness 
affrighted  me:  the  ^night  of  my 
pleasure  hath  he  turned  into  fear 
unto  me. 

5  ^Prepare  the  table,  ''watch 
in  the  watch  tower,  eat,  drink: 
arise,  ye  princes,  and  anoint  the 
shield. 

6  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  said 
unto  me.  Go,  set  a  ''watchman, 
let  him  declare  what  he  seeth. 

7  And  ■'he  saw  a  chariot  with  a 
couple  of  horsemen,  a  chariot  of 
^asses,  and  a  chariot  of  ^camels; 
and  he  hearkened  diligently  with 
much  heed: 

8  And  he  cried,  A  lion:  My 
lord,  I  stand  continually  upon 
the  watchtower  in  the  daytime, 
and  I  am  set  in  my  ward  whole 
nights : 

9  And,  behold,  here  cometh  a 
^chariot  of  men,  loith  a  couple  of 
horsemen.  And  he  answered  and 
said,  ^'Brib'y-lon  is  fallen,  is  fall- 
en; and  all  the  'graven  images  of 
her  gods  he  hath  broken  unto 
the  ground. 

10  O  my  threshing,  and  the 
corn  of  my  floor:  that  which  ''I 
have  *• ''heard  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  have  I 
declared  unto  you. 

11  T[  The  burden  of '"Du'mah. 
He  calleth  to  me  out  of  ''Se'lr, 
"Watchman,  what  of  the  night  ? 
Watchman,  what  of  the  night  ? 

12  The  watchman  said.  The 
morning  cometh,  and  also  the 
night;  if  ye  will  enquire,  enquire 
ye:  return,  come. 


13  ^  The  burden  upon  "A-ra'-

14  ®The  inhabitants  of  the  land 
of  *Te'ma  ''brought  water  to  him 
that  was  thirsty,  they  prevented 
with  their  bread  him  that  fled. 

15  For  they  fled  from  the 
^swords,  from  the  drawn  sword, 
and  from  the  bent  'bow,  and 
from  the  grievousness  of  "war. 

16  For  thus  hath  the  Lord 
*'^said  unto  '^me,  Within  a  year, 
according  to  the  years  of  an  hire- 
ling, and  all  the  glory  of  ^'Ke'- 
diir  shall  fail: 

17  And  the  residue  of  the  num- 
ber of  "'archers,  the  mighty  men 
of  the  children  of  "Ke'diir,  shall 
be  diminished:  for  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el  hath  ^spoken  it.

people  in  their  own  wisdom.  1.')  He  fore- 
tells the  removal  of  Shebna  from  the  office 
of  treasurer,  20  and  the  proinotion  of  Elia- 
kim  to  his  place. 

THE  burden  of  the  valley  of 
vision.  What  aileth  thee 
now,  that  thou  art  wholly  gone 
up  to  the  housetops  ? 

2  Thou  that  art  full  of  stirs,  a 
tumultuous  city,  a  joyous  city: 
thy  slain  men  are  not  slain  with 
the  sword,  nor  dead  in  battle. 

3  All  thy  rulers  are  fled  to- 
gether, they  are  bound  by  the 
"archers:  all  that  are  found  in 
thee  are  bound  together,  which 
have  fled  from  far. 

4  Therefore  ''•^said  I,  Look 
away  from  me;  I  will  weep  bit- 
terly, labour  not  to  comfort  me, 
because  of  the  spoiling  of  the 
daughter  of  my  people. 

5  ''For  it  is  a  day  of  trouble, 
and  of  treading  down,  and  of 
perplexity  by  the  Lord  ^GoD 
of  hosts  in  the  valley  of  vision, 
breaking  down  the  walls,  and  of

In  the  event  of  the  establishment  of  a  monarchy  a  copy  of  the

lolned  to  study  this  law  all  the  days  of  his  life  and  conform 
his  administration  thereto,  Peut.  17:18-20.  This  constituted 
the  fundamental  law  and  had  its  likeness  to  the  constitution 
of  modern  governments.  When  David  was  crowned  '^'n^'  "'

was  a  basis  of  pood  understanding  between  himself  and  the

which  must  have  been  in  the  nature  of  a  limitation  of  mon-

THE  burden  of  '^Tyre.    Howl, 
ye  ships  of  *Tar'shish;  for 
it  is  laid  waste,  so  that  there  is 


no  house,  no  entering  in:  from 
the  land  of  ''Chit'tim  it  is  re- 
vealed to  them. 

2  Be  still,  ye  inhabitants  of 
the  isle;  thou  whom  the  '^•''mer- 
chants of  '^Zfdon,  that  pass  over 
the  sea,  have  replenished. 

3  And  by  great  waters  the  seed 
of  ''Si'hor,  the  harvest  of  the 
''river,  is  her  revenue;  and  she  is 
a  mart  of  nations. 

4  Be  thou  ashamed,  O  ^Zi'don : 
for  the  sea  hath  spoken,  even  the 
strength  of  the  sea,  saying,  I 
travail  not,  nor  bring  forth  chil- 
dren, neither  do  I  nourish  up 
young  men,  7ior  bring  uj:)  virgins. 

5  As  at  the  re]:)ort  concerning 
'E'gypt,  so  shall  they  be  sorely 
pained  at  the  report  of  "Tyre. 

6  Pass  ye  over  to  ''Tar'shish; 
howl,  ye  inhabitants  of  ttie  isle. 

7  Is  this  your  joyous  "city, 
whose  antiquity  is  of  ancient 
days  ?  her  own  feet  shall  carry 
her  afar  off  to  sojourn. 

8  Who  hath  taken  this  coimsel 
against  "Tyre,  the  crowning  citi/, 
whose  '^■'merchants  are  princes, 
whose  traffickers  are  the  honour- 
able of  the  earth  ?

9  The  Lord  of  hosts  hath  pur- 
posed it,  to  stain  the  ^'pritle  of 
all  glorv,  and  to  brino-  into  con- 
tempt all  the  honourable  of  the 
earth. 

10  Pass  throuo'h  thy  land  as  a 
''river,  O  ilaughterof  ^Tiir'shish: 
fhere  is  no  'more  strength. 

11  ^He  stretched  out  his  hand 
over  the  sea,  he  shook  the  king- 
doms: the  IjORD  hath  given  a 
commandment  -against  the  mer- 
chant city,  to  destroy  the  strong 
holds  thereof. 

12  And  he  said,  Thou  shalt  no 
more  rejoice,  O  thou  oppressed 
virgin,  daughter  of  Zi'don:  arise, 
pass  over  to  ''Chit'tim;  there  also 
shalt  thou  have  no  rest. 

13  Behold  the  land  of  the 
Chal-de'ans;  this  people  was 
not,  till  the  As-.syr'i-an  founded 
it  for  them  that  dwell  in  the 
wilderness:  they  .set  up  •'Hhe 
towers  thereof,  they  raised  up 
the  palaces  thereof;  and  he 
brought  it  to   ruin. 

14  Howl,  ye  ships  of  *Tar'- 
shish:  for  your  strength  is  laid 
waste. 

15  And  it  shrdi  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  "Tyre  shall  be  for- 
gotten seventy  years,  according 
to  the  days  of  one  king:  after  the 
end  of  seventy  years  ■'shall  Tyre 
sing  as  an  ™liarIot. 

16  Take  an  "harp,  go  about  the 
city,  thou  harlot  that  hast  heen 
forgotten;  make  sweet  "melody, 
sing  many  songs,  that  thou  may- 
est  be  remembered. 

17  Tf  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  after  the  end  of  seventy 
years,  that  the  lyOiiD  will  visit 
"Tyre,  and  she  shall  turn  to 
her  hire,  and  shall  commit  for- 
nication with  all  the  kingdoms 
of  the  world  upon  the  face  of 
the  earth. 

18  And  her  merchandise  and 
her  hire  shall  be  holiness  to  the 
Lord:  it  shall  not  be  treasured 


nor  laitl  up;  for  her  merchandise 
shall  be  for  them  that  dwell  be-

CHAPTER  24 

God's  judgments  upon  the  land  for  its  in- 
iquilies.  l'^  A  remnant  shall  praise  him. 
16  Bi/  his  judgments  God  will  advance 
liis  kingdom. 

BEHOLD,  the  Lord  "maketh 
the  earth  em])ty,  and  maketh 
it  waste,  and  turneth  it  upside 
down,  and  scattereth  abroad  the 
inhabitants  thereof. 

2  And  "it  shall  be,  as  with  the 
peo))le,  so  with  the  'Spriest;  as 
with  the  '^servant,  so  with  his 
master;  as  with  the  maid,  so 
with  her  mistress;  as  with  the 
buyer,  so  with  the  seller;  as  with 
the  '^lender,  so  with  the  borrow- 
er; as  with  the  taker  of  ''usury,  so 
with  the  giver  of  usury  to  him. 

3  "The  land  shall  be  utterly 
emptied,  and  utterly  spoiled:  for 
the  Lord  hath  spoken  this  word. 

4  The  earth  mourneth  and  fad- 
eth  away,  the  world  languisheth 
a7id  fadeth  away,  the  "haughty 
people  of  the  earth  do  languish. 

5  The  earth  also  is  defiled  un- 
der the  inhabitants  thereof;  be- 
cause they  have  ''transgressed  the 
laws,  ''changed  the  'ordinance, 
''broken  the  everlasting  'cove- 
nant. 

G  "■'^Iherefore  hath  the  curse 
devoured  the  earth,  and  they 
that  dwell  therein  are  'desolate: 
therefore  the  inhabitants  of  the 
earth  are  burned,  and  few  men 
left. 

7  The  new  wine  mourneth,  the 
vine  languisheth,  all  the  merry- 
hearted  do  sigh. 

8  The  mirth  of  tabrets  ceaseth, 
the  noise  of  them  that  rejoice 
endcth,  the  joy  of  the  '•'"harp 
ceaseth. 

9  They  shall  not  "drink  "wine 
with  a  song;  strong  drink  shall 
be  bitter  to  them  that  drink  it.

11  There  is  a  crying  ^for  ''wine 
in  tlie  streets;  all  joy  is  darkened, 
the  mirth  of  the  land  is  gone. 

12  In  the  city  is  left  desolation, 
and  the  gate  is  smitten  with  de-

13  ^  When  thus  it  shall  be 
in  the  midst  of  the  land  among 
the  people,  there  shall  be  as  the 
shaking  of  an  olive  tree,  cmd  as

14  They  .shall  ^lift  up  their 
voice,  they  shall  sing  for  the 
majesty  of  the  Lord,  they  shall 
cry  aloud  from  the  sea.

Lord  in  the  ^ fires,  even  the 
name  of  the  Lord  God  of  Ts'- 
ra-el  in  the  isles  of  the  sea. 

16  Tf  From  the  uttermost  part 
of  the  earth  have  we  heard  songs, 
even  glory  to  the  righteous.  But 
I  said,  'My  leanness,  my  lean- 
ness, woe  unto  me!  the  treacher- 
ous dealers  have  dealt  treacher- 
ously; yea,  the  treacherous  deal- 
ers have  dealt  very  treacherously. 

17  *Fear,  and  the  pit,  and  the 
snare,  are  upon  thee,  O  inhabit- 
ant of  the  earth. 

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  he  who  fleeth  from  the  noise 
of  the  fear  shall  "fall  into  the  pit; 
and  he  that  cometh  up  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  pit  shall  be  "taken  in 
the  snare:  for  the  windows  from 
on  high  are  open,  and  the  foun- 
dations of  the  earth  do  shake. 

19  '^The  ''earth  is  utterly  bro- 
ken down,  the  earth  is  clean  dis- 
solved, the  earth  is  *moved  ex- 
ceedingly. 

20  The  earth  shall  *reel  to  and 
fro  like  a  drunkard,  and  shall 
be  removed  like  a  cottage;  and 
the  transgression  thereof  shall  be 
heavy  upon  it;  and  it  shall  fall, 
and  not  rise  again. 


21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  the  Lord  shall 
*punish  the  host  of  the  high  ones 
that  are  on  high,  and  the  kings  of 
the  earth  upon  the  earth. 

22  And  they  shall  be  gathered 
together,  as  prisoners  are  gath- 
ered in  the  pit,  and  shall  be  shut 
up  in  the  prison,  and  after  many 
days  shall  they  be  visited. 

23  Then  the  'moon  shall  be  con- 
founded, and  the  ''sun  ashamed, 
when  the  ^LoRD  of  hosts  shall 
reign  in  mount  Zi'on,  and  in 
"'Je-ri/sa-l6m,  and  before  his 
ancients  gloriously. 

CHAPTER  25 

The  prophet  praises  God  for  his  judgments: 
6  and  declares  tlie  future  glories  of  Zion. 

OLORD,  thou  art  my  God;  1 
will  exalt  thee,  I  will  "praise 
thy  name;  for  thou  hast  done 
wonderful  things;  thy  counsels  of 
old  are  ^faithfulness  and  '^•''truth. 

2  For  thou  hast  *made  of  a  city 
an  heap;  of  a  defenced  city  a 
ruin:  a  palace  of  strangers  to  be 
no  city;  it  shall  never  be  built. 

3  Therefore  shail  the  strong  peo- 
ple ''glorify  thee,  the  city  of  the 
terrible  nations  shall  ^fear  thee. 

4  For  ''•'^thou  hast  been  a 
^•^' ^strength  to  the  'poor,  a 
^strength  to  the  needy  in  his  dis- 
tress, a  refuge  from  the  storm,  a 
shadow  from  the  heat,  when  the 
blast  of  the  terrible  ones  is  as  a 
storm  against  the  wall. 

5  ''Thou  shalt  bring  down  the 
noise  of  strangers,  as  the  heat 
in  a  dry  place;  even  the  heat 
with  the  shadow  of  a  cloud: 
the  "branch  of  the  terrible  ones 
shall  be  brought  low. 

6  %  And  in  this  '"'"mountain 
shall  the  Lord  of  hosts  make 
imto  all  peojile  a  feast  of  "fat 
things,  a  feast  of  ^wines  on  the 
''lees,  of  fat  things  full  of  mar- 
row, of  wines  on  the  lees  well 
''refined.

7  And  he  will  destroy  in  thi.s 
mountain  tlie  face  of  the  cover-

vail  that  is  .spread  over  all  na- 
tions. 

8  *''He  Vill  "swallcnvnp  Meath

will  wipe  away  tears  from  off  all 
faces;  and  the  rebuke  of  "his 
people  shall  he  take  away  from 
off  all  the  earth:  for  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  ?7. 

9  ^  And  it  shall  be  ^said  in  that 
day,  Lo,  ^this  is  our  God;  we 
have  ^waited  for  him,  and  "he 
will  *save  us:  this  is  the  Lord; 
we  have  waited  for  him,  we  will 
be  glad  and  "^rejoice  in  his  salva-

10  For  in  this  mountain  shall 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  rest,  and 
'^Alo'ab  shall  be  ^trodden  down 
under  him,  even  as  straw  is  trod-

11  And  he  shall  spread  forth

as  he  that  swimmeth  spreadeth 
forth  his  hands  to  swim:  and  he 
.shall  '^bring  down  tlicir  '])ride 
together  with  tlie  ^spoils  of  their

12  And  the  fortress  of  the  high

CHAPTER  2G 

-A  song  of  praise  and  of  thanksgiving  to  God 
for  the  deliverance  of  his  people.  20  .In 
exhortation  to  wait  on  God. 

IX  that  day  shall  this  "song  be 
sung  in  the  land  of  *Ju'dah; 
We  have  a  strong  city;  "■''salva- 
tion will  "God  appoint  for  walls 
and  ''bulwarks. 

2  0|)en  ye  the  "gates,  that  the 
righteous  nation  which  keepeth 
the  truth  may  enter  in. 

3  ''•^Thou  wilt  keep  ^him  in 
perfect    '^^ 'peace,    whose    mind 


is  '"stayed  on  thee:  because   he 
trusteth  in  thee. 

4  "'"Trust  ye  in  the  Lord  for 
ever:  for  in  the  Lord  JI^-H()'- 
VAH  is  ^'^everlasting  strength: 

5  ^  For  *he  ''bringeth  down 
them  that  dwell  on  high;  the 
lofty  city,  he  layeth  it  low;  he 
layeth  it  low,  even  to  the  ground; 
he  bringeth  it  even  to  the  dust. 

6  The  foot  shall  tread  it  down, 
even  the  feet  of  the  poor,  and  the 
steps  of  the  needy. 

7  The  way  of  the  just  is  up- 
rightness: thou,  most  'upright, 
dost  ^weigh  the  path  of  the  just. 

8  Yea,  in  the  way  of  'thy  judg- 
ments, O  Lord,  have  we  waited 
for  thee;  ^the  "desire  of  ^our  soul 
is  to  thy  name,  and  to  the  re- 
membrance of  thee. 

9  With  my  soul  have  I  "desired 
thee  in  the  night;  yea,  with  my 
"'spirit  within  me  will  "I  seek 
thee  early:  for  when  thy  ^judg- 
ments are  in  the  earth,  ^the  in- 
habitants of  the  world  will  learn 
righteousness. 

10  Ivct  favour  be  shewed  to  the 
wicked,  yet  ^will  he  "-''not  learn 
righteousness;  in  the  land  of  up- 
rightness will  "^he  deal  *unjustly, 
and  ^will  not  behold  the  majesty 
of  the  I.,ORD. 

11  Lord,  whc7i  thy  hand  is 
lifted  up,  they  will  "•''not  see:  but 
they  shall  see,  *and  be  ashamed 
for  their  envy  at  the  peojile;  yea, 
the  fire  of  thine  enemies  shall 
devour  them. 

12  ^  Lord,  thou  wilt  ordain

wrought  all  our  works  ''in  us.

not  live;  they  are  deceased,  they 
.shall  not  rise :  therefore  hast  thou 
visited  and  destroyed  them,  and 
made  all  their  memory  to  perish. 

15  '^Thoii  hast  "increased  the 
nation,  O  Lord,  thou  hast  in- 
creased the  nation:  thou  art 
glorified:  thou  hadst  removed 
it  far  unto  all  the  ends  of  the 
earth. 

16  Lord,  in  ''trouble  have  they 
visited  thee,  they  poured  out  a 
'prayer  w}ie7i  thy  'chastening 
was  upon   them. 

17  Like  as  a  woman  with  child, 
that  draweth  near  the  time  of  her 
delivery,  is  in  pain,  and  crieth 
out  in  her  pangs;  so  have  we 
been  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord. 

18  We  have  been  with  child,  we 
have  been  in  pain,  we  have  as 
it  were  brought  forth  wind;  we 
have  not  wrought  any  dehve  ranee 
in  the  earth;  neither  have  the  in- 
iiabitants  of  the  world  fallen. 

19  Thy  dead  vien  shall  ^live, 
^together  ivitk  my  dead  body  shall 
they  'arise.  Awake  and  sing,  ye 
tlia^;  dwell  in  dust:  for  thy  "'dew 
is  as  the  dew  of  herbs,  and  the 
earth  shall  cast  out  the  dead. 

20  ^  Come,  my  people,  enter 
thou  into  thy  chambers,  and 
shut  thy  doors  about  thee:  hide 
thyself  as  it  were  for  a  little  mo- 
ment, until  the  "indignation  be 
overpast. 

21  For,  behold,  the  Lord  com- 
eth  out  of  his  place  to  "-"punish 
the  inhabitants  of  the  earth  for 
their  iniquity:  the  earth  also  shall 
disclose  her  blood,  and  shall  no 
more  cover  her  slain. 

CHAPTER  27 

God's  care  of  his  vineyard.  7  His  chastise- 
ments differ  from  judgments.  12  The 
restoration  of  the  scattered  Jews. 

IN  that  day  the  Lord  with  his 
sore  and  great  and  strono; 
"•''sword  shall  punish  leviathan 
the  ^piercing  serpent,  even  levia- 
than that  crooked  serpent;  and 


he   shall  slay   the   dragon    that 
is  in  the  sea. 

2  ^  In  that  day  sing  ye  unto 
her,  '^A  vineyard  of  red  wine. 

3  I  the  Lord  do  ''keep  it;  I  will 
water  it  every  moment:  lest  any 
hurt  it,  I  will  keep  it  night  and 
day. 

4  Fury  is  not  in  me:  who 
would  set  the  briers  and  thorns 
against  me  in  battle  ?  I  would 
go  through  them,  I  would  burn 
them   together. 

5  Or  let  him  take  hold  of  my 
strength,  that  he  may  make 
peace  with  me;  and  he  shall 
make  peace  with  me. 

6  ^He  shall  cause  them  that 
come  of  Ja'cob  to  take  root: 
Ls'ra-el  siiall  blossom  and  bud, 
and  fill  the  face  of  the  world 
with  fruit. 

7  Hath  he  smitten  him,  as  he 
smote  those  that  smote  him  ? 
or  is  he  slain  according  to  the 
slaughter  of  them  that  are  slain 
l)y  him  ? 

8  In  measure,  when  ^it  shooteth 
forth,  thou  wilt  debate  with  it: 
he  stayeth  his  rough  wind  in  the 
day  of  the  east  wind. 

9  By  this  therefore  shall  the  '^in- 
iquity  of  Ja'cob  be  purged;  and 
this  is  all  the  fruit  to  take  away 
his  sin;  when  he  maketh  all  the 
stones  of  the  ^altar  as  chalk- 
stones  that  are  beaten  in  sunder, 
^•"the  ''groves  and  images  shall 
not   stand  up. 

10  ^Yet  the  defenced  city  \shall 
be  desolate,  and  the  habitation 
forsaken,  and  left  like  a  wilder- 
ness: there  shall  the  calf  feed, 
and  there  shall  he  lie  down,  and 
consume  the  branches  thereof. 

1 1  When  the  boughs  thereof  are 
withered^  they  shall  be  broken 
off:  the  'women  come,  and  set 
them  on  fire:  for  it  is  a  people  of 
'"no  understanding:  therefore  he 
that  'made  them  will  not  have

A  woe  against  the  drunkards  of  Ephraim. 
5  A  promise  to  the  residue  of  the  people. 
7  Yet  then  have  erred,  and  deserve  rebuke. 
14  In  contrast  with  the  refuge  of  lies,  God 
has  laid  in  Zion  a  sure  foundation.  23 
Ills  dealings  with  his  people  illustrated.

VY  to  the  "drunkards  of  'VV- 
phra-Tm,  whose  glorious  Ijcauty 
is  a  fading  flower,  which  are  on 
the  head  of  the  fat  valleys  of 
them  that  are  overcome  with 
''wine ! 

2  Behold,  tlie  Lord  hath  a 
mighty  and  strong  one,  tohich  a? 
a  tem])est  of  ^hail  and  a  destroy- 
ing storm,  as  a  flood  of  mighty 
waters  overflowing,  shall  ^cast 
down  to  the  earth  with  tlie  hand. 

3  'I'he  crown  of  pride,  the 
"drunkards  of  "^E'jvhra-im,  shall 
l)e  trodden  under  feet: 

4  And  the  glorious  beauty, 
wliicii  is  on  tlie  head  of  the  fat 
\alley,  shall  be  a  fading  flower, 
and  as  the  'liasty  fruit  before  tlie 
♦summer;  which  'wJicii  he  that 
looketh  U])oii  it  seeth,  wliik;  it  is 
yet  in  his  hand  he  eateth  it  up. 

o  1  In  that  day  shall  the  I^okd 
of  hosts  be  for  a  "crown  of  ''glory, 


and  for  a  diadem  of  beauty,  unto 
the  residue  of  his  ^people, 

G  And  for  a  ^spirit  of  judgment 
to  him  that  sitteth  in  judgment, 
and  for  strength  to  them  that 
turn  the  battle  to  the  gate. 

7  But  they  also  have  erred 
through  ''wine,  and  through 
strong  drink  are  out  of  the  way; 
the  Spriest  and  the  'prophet  have 
erred  through  strong  drink,  they 
are  swallowed  up  of  wine,  '"they 
are  out  of  the  way  through  strong

death,  and  with  ^hell  are  we  at 
agreement;  when  the  overflow- 
ing scourge  shall  pass  through, 
it  shall  not  come  vmto  us:  for  we 
have  made  lies  our  refuge,  and 
under  falsehood  have  we  hid 
ourselves: 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  "•"•^Behold,  I  lay  in 
Zi'on  for  a  foundation  a  stone,  a 
tried  stone,  a  precious  '^•''corner 
stone,  a  sure  foundation:  ''he  that 
''believeth  shall  not  make  haste. 

17  Judgment  also  will  I  lay  to 
the  line,  and  ''righteousness  to 
the  ^plummet:  and  the  hail  shall 
sweep  away  the  refuge  of  lies, 
and  the  waters  shall  overflow 
the  hiding  place. 

18  And  your  covenant  with 
death  shall  be  disannulled,  and 
your  agreement  with  ^'hell  shall 
not  stand;  when  the  overflowing 
scourge  shall  pass  through,  then 
^'ye  shall  be  'trodden  down  by  it. 

19  From  the  time  that  it  goeth 
forth  it  shall  take  you :  for  morn- 
ing by  morning  shall  it  ]jass  over, 
by  day  and  by  night:  and  it  shall 
be  ^a  vexation  only  to  understand 
the  report. 

20  For  the  bed  is  shorter  than 
that  a  man  can  stretch  himself 
on  it:  and  the  covering  nar- 
rower than  that  he  can  wrap 
himself  in  it. 

21  For  the  Lord  shall  ri.se 
up  as  in  mount  '"Per'a-zim,  he 
shall  be  "wroth  as  in  the  valley 
of  °Gib'e-on,  that  he  may  do 
his  work,  his  strange  work;  and 
bring  to  pass  his  act,  his  strange 
act. 

22  Now  therefore  be  ye  not 
^mockers,  lest  your  bands  be 
made  strong:  for  I  have  heard 
from  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  a 
consumption,  even  determined 
upon  the  whole  earth. 

23  *\  Give  ye  ear,  and  hear  my 
voice;  hearken,  and  hear  my

in  Egypt.  8  .4  record  to  be  made  of  their 
rebellious  character  and  contempt  of  God's 
word.  18  God's  mercies  to  Zion.  27 
The  destruction  of  Assyria. 

WOE  to  the  "rebellious  *chil- 
dren,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
""take  counsel,  but  not  of  me;  and 
that  '^cover  with  a  covering,  but 
not  of  my  spirit,  that  they  may 
''add  sin  to  sin: 

2  That  walk  to  go  down  into 
''E'gypt,  and  have  not  ''asked  at 
my  mouth;  to  ''strengthen  them- 
selves in  the  strength  of  ^Pha'- 
raoh,  and  to  ''trust  in  the  shadow 
of  E'gypt! 

3  Therefore  shall  the  strength 
of  *Pha'raoh  be  *your  shame, 
and  the  ''trust  in  the  shadow  of 
'^E'gypt  your  confusion. 


4  For  his  princes  were  at  *Zo'- 
an,  and  his  ^ambassadors  came 
to  Ha'nes. 

5  They  were  all  ashamed  of  a 
people  Ihat  could  not  ])rofit  them, 
nor  be  an  help  nor  profit,  but  a 
shame,  and  also  a  reproach. 

6  The  burden  of  the  leasts  of 
the  south:  into  the  land  of  trou- 
ble and  anguish,  from  whence 
come  the  ^young  and  old  lion, 
the  'viper  and  fiery  flying  '^ser- 
pent, they  will  ^carry  their  riches 
upon  the  shoulders  of  young 
'"asses,  and  tlieir  treasures  upon 
the  bunches  of  "camels,  to  a  peo- 
ple that  shall  not  profit  thein. 

7  For  ^the  *K-gvp'tians  shall 
help  in  vain,  and  to  no  purpose: 
therefore  have  I  ^cried  concern- 
ing this,  Their  strength  is  to  sit 
still. 

8  ^  Now  go,  write  it  before 
them  '*in  a  table,  and  note  it  in  a 
book,  that  it  may  be  for  the  time 
to  come  for  ever  and  ever: 

9  That  "this  is  a  "rebellious 
''people,  ^lying  children,  ^chil- 
dren that  will  not  hear  the  '^law 
of  the  Lord: 

10  *Which  say  to  the  seers,  See 
not;  and  to  the  prophets.  Proph- 
esy not  unto  us  right  things, 
speak  unto  us  smooth  things, 
prophesy  deceits: 

11  *Get  you  out  of  the  way, 
turn  aside  out  of  the  path,  cause 
the  'Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el  to  cease 
from  before  us. 

12  Wherefore  thus  saith  the 
'Holy  One  of  Ls'ra-el,  Because 
ye  despise  this  ''word,  and  ''trust 
in  ''oppression  and  perverseness, 
and  stay  thereon : 

13  "Therefore  this  iniquity  shall 
be  to  you  as  a  breach  ready  to 
fall,  swelling  out  in  a  high  wall, 
whose  breaking  cometh  suddenly 
at  an  instant.

14  xVnd  he  "'.shall  break  it  as  the 
breaking  of  the  •^]>otters'  vessel 
that  is  liroken  in  pieces;  he  shall 
not  spare:  so  that  there  shall 
not  be  found  in  the  bursting  of 
it  a  sherd  to  take  fire  from  the 
hearth,  or  to  take  water  ivifhal 
out  of  the  "pit. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  the  ^Holy  One  of  T.s'ra-el; 
''In  returning  and  rest  shall  ye  be 
saved;  in  tjuietness  and  in  ^confi- 
dence shall  be  your  strength :  and 
ye  would  not. 

1(3  But  ye  said.  No;  ff)r  we  will 
flee  upon  horses;  therefore  shall 
ye  flee:  and,  We  will  ride  upon 
the  swift;  therefore  shall  they 
that  pursue  you  be  swift. 

17  "One  thousand  shall  flee  at 
the  rebuke  of  one;  at  the  rebuke 
of  five  shall  ye  flee:  till  ye  be  left 
as  a  *' '^beacon  upon  the  top  of  a 
'^mountain,  and  as  an  \>nsign  on 
an  hill. 

18  And  therefore  will  the  Lord 
^vait,  that  he  may  be  gracious 
unto  you,  and  therefore  will  he 
be  exalted,  that  he  may  have 
^mercy  upon  you:  for  the  Lord 
is  a  God  of  '^judgment:  blessed 
are  all  they  that  wait  for  him. 

19  ^  For  the  people  shall  dwell 
in  'Zl'on  at  Me-ri/.sa-lem:  ^'thou 
shalt  weep  no  more:  ^he  will  be 
very  ''gracious  unto  thee  at  the 
voice  of  thy  cry;  when  he  shall 
hear  it,  'he  will  answer  thee. 

20  xVnd  tJiour/h  the  Lord  '"give 
you  the  "bread  of  ''adversity,  and 
the  ^water  of  affliction,  yet  shall 
not  thy  'teachers  be  ^removed 
into  a  corner  any  more,  but  thine 
eyes  shall  see  thy  teachers: 

21  And  thine  ears  shall  hear  a 
''word  behind  thee,  saying,  This 
is  the  way,  walk  ye  in  it,  when  ye 
turn  to  tlie  right  hand,  and  when 
ye  turn  to  the  left. 

22  Ye  shall  defile  also  the  cov- 
ering of  thy  graven  *images  of 
'silver,  and  the  ornament  of  thv 


molten  images  of  ''gold:  thou 
shalt  cast  them  away  as  ^a  men- 
sfruous  cloth;  thou  shalt  say  un- 
to it,  Get  thee  hence. 

23  Then  shall  'lie  give  the 
"'■""rain  of  thy  seed,  that  thou 
shalt  sow  the  ground  withal;  and 
bread  of  the  increase  of  the 
earth,  and  it  shall  be  fat  and 
plenteou.s:  in  that  day  shall  thy 
cattle  feed  in  large  pastures. 

24  The  oxen  likewise  and  the 
young  asses  that  *ear  the  ground 
shall  eat'clean  provender,  which 
hath  been  ''winnowed  with  the 
.shovel  and  with  the  ^fan. 

25  And  there  shall  be  upon 
every  high  mountain,  and  up- 
on every  high  hill,  rivers  and 
streams  of  waters  in  the  day  of 
the  great  slaughter,  when  the 
towers  fall. 

26  Moreover  the  light  of  the 
moon  shall  be  as  the  light  of  the 
sun,  and  the  light  of  the  sun  shall 
be  sevenfold,  as  the  light  of  .seven 
days,  "in  the  day  that  the  Lord 
bindeth  up  the  breach  of  his 
])eople,  and  healeth  the  stroke 
of  their  wound. 

27  ^f  Behold,  the  name  of  the 
fyORD  Cometh  from  far,  ^burning 
tvifiL  his  '"anger,  and  ^"the  burden 
thereof  is  heavy:  his  lips  are  full 
of  indignation,  and  his  tongue 
as  a  devouring  fire: 

2S  xVnd  his  breath,  as  an  over- 
flowing stream,  shall  reach  to 
the  midst  of  the  neck,  to  sift  the 
nations  with  the  "^sieve  of  vanity: 
and  there  shall  be  a  bridle  in  the 
jaws  of  the  people,  causing  them 
to  err. 

20  Ye  shall  have  a  "song,  as  in 
the  night  ^when  a  holy  "'"so- 
lemnity is  kept;  and  ''gladness  of 
heart,  as  when  one  gtjcth  with  a 
^))ipe  to  come  into  the  mountain 
of  the  Lord,  to  the  ^-mighty 
One  of  I.s'ra-el. 

30  And  the  Lord  shall  cause 
his  glorious  voice  to  be  heard,

and  shall  shew  the  lighting  down 
of  his  arm,  with  the  ''indignation 
of  his  "anger,  and  ivith  the  flame 
of  a  devouring  fire,  iviih  ^^scat- 
tering, and  tempest,  and  hail- 
stones. 

31  For  through  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  shall  the  ^\s-syr'i-an  be 
beaten  down,  which  smote  with 
a  rod. 

32  And  "m  every  place  where 
the  grounded  staff  shall  pass, 
which  the  Lord  shall  lay  upon 
him,  it  shall  be  with  tabrets  and 
^harps:  and  in  battles  of  shaking 
will  he  fight  with  it. 

33  For  *'^To'phet  is  ordained  of 
old;  yea,  for  the  '"king  it  is  pre- 
pared; he  hatli  made  it  deep  and 
large :  the  pile  thereof  is  fire  and 
much  wood;  the  ''breath  of  the 
Lord,  like  a  stream  of  "brim- 
stone, doth  kindle  it. 

CHAPTER  31 

The  folly  of  forsaking  God  and  trusting  in 
Egypt.  6  .In  exhortation  to  turn  unto 
God. 

WOE  to  them  that  °go  down 
to  *E'gypt  for  help;  and 
'"stay  on  ''horses,  and  '^trust  in 
''chariots,  because  they  are  many; 
and  in  Hiorsemen,  because  they 
are  very  strong;  but  ''they  look 
not  unto  the  *Holy  One  of  I.s'- 
ra-el,  neither  seek  the  Lord  ! 

2  Yet  he  also  is  'wise,  and  will 
bring  evil,  and  ^will  not  call  back 
his  words:  but  will  arise  against 
the  house  of  the  evildoers,  and 
against  the  help  of  them  that 
work   iniquity. 

3  Now  the  E-gyp'tian.s  are  men, 
and  not  God;  and  their  horses 
flesh,  and  not  spirit.  "When  the 
^LoRD  shall  stretch  out  his 
'hand,  both  he  that  helpeth  shall 
fall,  and  he  that  is  holpen  shall 
fall  down,  and  they  all  shall  fail 
together. 

4  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  spo- 
ken unto  me,  Like  as  the  lion 
and  the  young  lion  roaring  on 


his  prey,  when  a  multitude  of 
shepherds  is  called  forth  against 
him,  he  will  not  be  afraid  of  their 
voice,  nor  abase  himself  for  the 
noise  of  them :  so  shall  the  Lord 
of  hosts  come  down  to  '"•"fight 
for  mount  Zl'on,  and  for  the  hill 
thereof. 

5  As  birds  flying,  so  will  the 
Lord  of  hosts  '"defend  "Je-rii'- 
sa-lera;  defending  also  he  will 
deliver  it;  and  passing  over  he 
will  "preserve  it. 

6  T[  ^■''Turn  ye  unto  him  from 
whom  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el 
have  deeply  revolted. 

7  For  ""in  that  day  every  man 
shall  cast  away  his  ^idols  of  sil- 
ver, and  his  idols  of  gold,  which 
your  own  hands  have  made  unto 
you  for  a  sin. 

8  Then  shall  the  'As-syr'i-an 
fall  with  the  ''"sword,  not  of  ^a 
mighty  man;  and  the  sword,  not 
of  ^a  mean  man,  shall  devour 
him:  but  he  shall  flee  from  the 
sword,  and  his  young  men  shall 
^be  discomfited. 

9  And  *he  shall  pass  over  to 
his  strong  hold  for  fear,  and  his 
princes  shall  be  afraid  of  the 
^'ensign,  saith  the  Lord,  whose 
fire  is  in  Zl'on,  and  his  furnace 
in  °Je-r\i'sfi-lem. 

CHAPTER  32 

Blessings  promised  to  Zion.  9  Judgments

BEHOLD,  "a  "king  shall  reign

2  And  a  man  shall  be  as  an  hid-

weary   land.

shall  understand  knowledge,  and 
the  tongue  of  the  'staimner- 
ers  shall  be  ready  to  ''speak 
plainly. 

5  The  "vile  person  shall  be  no 
more  called  liberal,  nor  the  chui-1 
said  io  be  bountiful. 

6  For  the  "vile  person  will 
''speak  villany,  and  his  heart  will 
'work  iniquity,  to  practise  hypoc- 
risy, and  to  utter  error  against 
the  Lord,  to  'make  empty  the 
soul  of  the  hungry,  and  he  will 
cause  the  drink  of  the  thirsty  to 
fail. 

7  The  instruments  also  of  the 
churl  are  evil:  he  'deviseth 
wicked  devices  to  destroy  the 
'poor  with  ^lying  words,  even 
when  the  needy  speaketh  right. 

8  But  the  liberal  deviseth  'lib- 
eral things;  and  by  liberal  things 
shall  he  stand.

10  ^'"Many  days  and  years 
shall  ye  be  troubled,  ye  "careless 
"women :  for  the  vintage  shall  fail, 
the  gathering  shall  not  come. 

11  "Tremble,  ye  "w^omen  that 
are  "at  ease ;  be  troubled,  ye  "care- 
less ones:  strip  you,  and  make 
you  bare,  and  gird  sackcloth 
upon  yoiir  loins. 

12  They  .shall  lament  for  the 
teats,  for  the  pleasant  fields,  for 
the  fruitful  vine. 

13  ^Upon  the  land  of  my  people 
shall  come  up  thorns  and  briers; 
yea,  upon  all  the  houses  of  joy  in 
the  joyous  city: 

14  Becau.se  the  palaces  shall  be 
forsaken;  the  multitude  of  the 
city  shall  be  left;  the  forts  and 
towers  shall  be  for  dens  for  ever, 
a  joy  of  wild  as.ses,  a  pasture  of 
flocks; 

15  "• 'Until  the  ''spirit  be  poured 
upon  us  from  on  high,  and  the 
wilderness    be    a   fruitful    field. 


and  the  fruitful  field  be  counted 
for  a  forest. 

16  Then  judgment  shall  dwell 
in  the  wilderness,  and  *righteous- 
ness  remain  in  the  fruitful  field. 

17  And  the  work  of  righteous- 
ness shall  be  ''"peace;  and  the 
effect  of  righteousness  "cjuietness 
and  ^'"''assurance  forever. 

18  And  "my  people  shall  dwell 
in  a  'peaceable  habitation,  and  in 
sure  dwellings,  and  in  tpiiet  rest- 
ing places; 

19  When  it  shall  hail,  "coming 
down  on  the  forest;  and  the  city 
shall  be  low  in  a  low  place. 

20  Blessed  are  ye  that  sow  be- 
side all  waters,  that  send  forth 
thither  the  feet  of  the  ox  and  the 
ass. 

CHAPTER  33 

A  woe  against  the  enemies  of  God's  people. 
13  The  peace  and  security  of  Zion. 

WOE  to  thee  that  spoilest,  and 
thou  wast  not  spoiled ;  and 
dealest  treacherously,  and  they 
dealt  not  treacherously  with 
thee!  when  thou  shall  cease 
to  spoil,  thou  shalt  be  spoiled; 
and  when  thou  shalt  make  an 
end  to  deal  treacherously,  they 
shall  deal  treacherously  with 
thee. 

2  "O  I^ORD,  be  gracious  unto 
us;  ''we  have  waited  for  thee:  be 
thou  their  ''arm  every  morning, 
our  ''salvation  also  in  the  time  of 
trouble. 

3  At  the  noi.se  of  the  tumult 
the  peo))le  fled;  at  the  lifting 
up  of  thyself  the  nations  were 
scattered. 

4  And  your  .s]X)il  shall  be  gath- 
ered like  the  gathering  of  the 
caterpiller:  as  Hhe  running  to 
and  fro  of  ''locusts  shall  he  run 
upon  them. 

5  The  Lord  is  exalted;  for  he 
dwelleth  on  high:  he  hatli  filled 
Zi'on  with  /judgment  and  ^right-

8  ^'The  highways  lie  waste,  the 
wayfaring  man  ceaseth:  he  hath 
broken  the  covenant,  he  hath  de- 
spised the  cities,  he  regardeth 
no  man. 

9  *The  earth  mourneth  and  lan-

Lord;  now  will  I  be  exalted; 
now  will  I  lift  up  myself.

prised the  hypocrites.  Who 
among  us  shall  dwell  with  the 
devouring  'fire  ?  who  among 
us  shall  dwell  with  everlasting 
burnings  ? 

15  "'"He  that  walketh  "'right- 
eously, and  speaketh  upriglitly; 
he  that  ^despiseth  the  gain  of 
^oppressions,  that  ^shaketh  his 
hands  from  holding  of  ^bribes, 
that  ^stoppeth  his  ears  from

17  Thine  eyes  shall  see  the  king

18  Thine  heart  shall  meditate 
terror.  Where  is  Hhe  scribe  ? 
where  is  the  ^receiver  ?  where  is 
he  that  counted  the  towers  ? 

19  Thou  shalt  not  see  a  fierce 
people,  a  people  of  a  deeper 
speech  than  thou  canst  perceive ; 
of  a  ^-'stammering  tongue,  thai 
thoti  canst  not  understand. 

20  Look  upon  Zl'on,  the  city  of

see  "Je-ni'sa-lfem  a  quiet  habita-

be  taken  down;  not  one  of  the 
stakes  thereof  shall  ever  be  re- 
moved, neither  shall  any  of  the 
cords  thereof  be  broken. 

21  But  there  the  glorious  Lord 
ivill  be  unto  us  a  place  of  broad 
rivers  and  streams;  wherein  shall 
go  no  galley  with  oars,  neither 
shall    gallant  ship   pass   there- 

22  For  the  Lord  is  our  ''judge, 
the  Lord  is  our  lawgiver,  the 
Lord  is  our  'king;  he  will  'save 
us. 

23  Thy  tacklings  are  loosed; 
they  could  not  well  strengthen 
their  mast,  they  could  not  spread 
the  sail:  then  is  the  prey  of  a 
great  spoil  divided;  the  lame  take 
the  prey.

CHAPTER  3G 

Sennacherib  invades  Judah.  2  Rabshakeh 
sent  to  .Jerusalem.  3  His  interview  tvith 
Eliakirn,  Shcbna,  and  Joah.  13  He  .so- 
licits  the  people  to  revolt.  22  His  words 
reported  to  Hezekiah. 


NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fourteenth  year  of  king 
'^Hez-e-kl'ah,  that  *Sen-nrich'e- 
rib  king  of  '^As-syr'i-a  came  up 
against  all  the  defenced  cities  of 
''Ju'dah,  and  took  them. 

2  x\nd  the  ''king  of  '^As-syr'i-a 
sent  '^Rab'sha-keh  from  ''La'- 
chish  to  ^Je-rii'sa-lem  unto  king 
'^Hez-e-ki'ah  with  a  great  army. 
And  he  stood  by  the  conduit  of 
the  upper  ''pool  in  the  highway 
of  the  'fuller's  field. 

3  Tiien  came  forth  unto  him 
^' ^  E-ll'a-kim,  'Hil-kfah's  son, 
which  was  over  the  house,  and 
''■'"Sheb'na  the  "^scribe,  and 
'^•"Jd'ah,  ^A'saph's  son,  the  re- 
corder. 

4  And  *Rab'sha-keh  'said  inito 
them,  Say  ye  now  to  '^Hez-e-kl'- 
ah,  Thus  saith  the  great  ''king, 
the  king  of  '^As-syr'i-a,  What 
confidence  is  this  Avherein  thou 
trustest? 

5  I  say,  ^sayest  thou,  (but  they 
are  but  vain  words)  I  have  coun- 
sel and  strength  for  war:  'now  on 
whom  dost  thou  trust,  that  thou 
rebellest  against  me  ? 

6  Lo,  thou  trustest  in  the  staff 
of  this  broken  ''reed,  on  *E'gypt; 
whereon  if  a  man  lean,  it  will  go 
into  his  hand,  and  pierce  it:  so  is 
'Pha'raoli  king  of  E'gypt  to  all 
that  trust  in   him. 

7  But  if  thou  say  to  me.  We 
"trust  in  the  Lord  our  God:  is 
it  not  he,  whose  high  places  and 
whose  altars  ''Hez-e-kl'ah  hath 
taken  away,  and  said  to  ''Ju'daii 
and  to  Je-ru'sa-iem,  Ye  shall 
worship  before  this  altar  ? 

8  Now  therefore  give  pledges, 
I   pray  thee,  to  my  master  the

I  R.  V.  your  peace 
with  me,  and 


''king  of  '^As-svr'i-a,  and  I  will 
give  thee  two  thousand  horses, 
'if  thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to 
set  riders  upon  them. 

9  ^How  then  wilt  thou  turn 
away  the  face  of  one  captain  of 
the  least  of  my  master's  serv- 
ants, and  put  thy  trust  on  *E'- 
gypt  for  chariots  and  for  horse- 
men ? 

10  And  am  I  now  come  up  with- 
out the  IjORD  against  this  land 
to  destroy  it  ?  the  Lord  said  un- 
to me,  Go  up  against  this  land, 
and  destroy  it. 

11  Then  Vsaid  ^'l^.-h'a-kTm  and 
'"Sheb'na  and  Mo';di  unto  '\xiiW- 
sha-keh.  Speak,  I  pray  thee,  unto 
thy  servants  in  the  Syr'i-an  ^lan- 
guage; for  we  understand  it:  and 
speak  not  to  us  in  the  Jews'  lan- 
guage, in  the  ears  of  the  people 
that  are  on  the  wall. 

12  But  ^Rab'sha-keh  said,  Hath 
my  master  sent  me  to  thy  master 
and  to  thee  to  speak  these  words? 
hath  he  not  sent  me  to  the  men 
that  sit  upon  the  wall,  that 
they  may  eat  their  own  dung, 
and  drink  their  own  ^piss  with 
you? 

13  Then  ^Rab'sha-keh  stood, 
and  cried  with  a  loud  voice  in 
the  Jews'  ^language,  and  said. 
Hear  ye  the  words  of  the  great 
''king,  the  king  of  ''As-syr'i-a. 

14  Thus  saith  the  king,  Ivct  not 
"Hez-e-kl'ah  deceive  you :  for  he 
shall  not  be  able  to  deliver  you. 

15  ^/Neither  let  "Ilez-e-ki'ah 
make  you  trust  in  the  Lord, 
saying,  The  Lord  will  surely 
deliver  us:  the  city  shall  not  be 
delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
*king  of  '^As-syr't-a. 

16  Hearken  not  to  '^Hez-e-kl'- 
ah:  for  thus  saith  the  *king  of 
"As-syr^-il,  ISIake  ^an  agreement 
with  me  }>y  a  present,  and  come 
out  to  me:  and  eat  ye  every  one 
of  his  vine,  and  every  one  of  his 


'fig  tree,  and  drink  ye  every  one 
the  waters  of  his  own  *cistern; 

17  Until  I  come  and  take  you 
away  to  a  land  like  your  own 
land,  a  land  of  corn  and  wine,  a 
land  of  bread  and  vineyards. 

18  Beware  lest  Hez-e-ki'ah  jier- 
suade  you,  saying.  The  Lord 
will  deliver  us.  Hath  any  of  the 
gods  of  the  nations  delivered  his 
land  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  As-syr'i-a? 

19  Where  arc  the  gods  of  "Ila'- 
math  and  '^Ar'phad  ?  where  arc 
the  gods  of  *Seph-ar-va'im  ?  and 
have  they  delivered  ^Sa-ma'ri-a 
out  of  my  hand  ? 

20  Who  are  they  among  all  the 
gods  of  these  lands,  that  have 
delivered  their  land  out  of  my 
hand,  that  the  Lord  should  de- 
liver ''Je-ni'sa-leni  out  of  my 
hand  ? 

21  But  they  held  their  peace, 
and  answered  him  not  a  word :  for 
the  king's  commandment  was, 
saying.   Answer  him  not. 

22  Then  came  ''E-h'a-kim,  the 
son  of  Tlil-kl'ah,  that  was  over 
the  household,  and  ''Sheb'na  the 
scribe,  and  ''Jo'ah,  the  son  of 
A'saph,  the  recorder,  to  'Hez-e-

and  told  him  the  words  of  ^Rab'-

'prophet  the  son  of  A'moz. 

3  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Thus  saith  "Hez-e-ki'ah,  This 
day  is  a  day  of  trouble,  and  of 
rebuke,  and  of  ^blasphemy:  for 
the  children  are  come  to  the 
birth,  and  there  is  not  strength 
to  bring  forth. 

4  It  may  be  the  Lord  thy  God 
will  hear  the  words  of  ^Rab''- 
sha-keh,  whom  the  %ing  of  'As- 
syr'i-a  his  master  hath  sent  to 
'"reproach  the  living  God,  and 
will  reprove  the  words  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  heard: 
wherefore  "lift  up  thy  prayer  for 
the  remnant  that  is  left. 

5  So  the  servants  of  king  °Hez- 
e-kl'ah  came  to  ''I-sa'iah. 

6  And  ''I-sa'iah  said  unto  them, 
Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  your 
master,  "Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
^'*Be  not  afraid  of  the  words 
that  thou  hast  heard,  wherewitli 
the  servants  of  the  king  of  'As- 
syr'i-a  have  '"blasphemed  me. 

7  Behold,  ''I  will  ^send  a  blast 
upon  him,  and  he  shall  hear  a 
rumour,  and  return  to  his  own 
land;  and  I  will  cause  him  to 
fall  by  the  sword  in  his  own 
land. 

8  ^  So  'Rab'sha-keh  returned, 
and  found  the  ^king  of  'As- 
syr'i-a  warring  against  *Lib'- 
nah:  for  he  had  heard  that  he 
was  departed  from  'La'chish. 

9  And  he  heard  say  concerning 
"Tir'ha-kah  king  of  "E-thi-o'- 
pi-a.  He  is  come  forth  to  make 
war  with  thee.  And  when  he 
heard  it,  he  sent  messengers  to 
"Hez-e-kl'ah,  saying, 

10  Thus  shall  ye  s])eak  to  Hez- 
e-kl'ah  king  of  "'Ju'dah,  saying, 
'"Let  not  thy  God,  in  whom  thou 
trustest,  deceive  thee,  saying,

into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  'As- 
syr'i-a. 

11  ^Behold,  thou  hast  heard 
what  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a  have 
done  to  all  lands  by  destroying 
them  utterly;  and  shalt  thou  be

12  ^Have  the  gods  of  the  na-

13  Where  is  the  king  of  *^Ha'- 
matli,  and  the  king  of  '^Ar'phad, 
and  the  king  of  the  city  of  ^Seph- 
ar-va'im,  "He'na,  and  ''I'vah  ? 

li  ^  And  'Hez-e-ki'ah  received 
the  *lettcr  from  the  hand  of  the 
messengers,  and  read  it:  and 
Hez-e-ki'ah  went  up  unto  the 
^house  of  the  Lord,  and  spread 
it  before  the  Lord. 

15  And  'Hez-e-ki'ah  Sprayed 
unto  the  Lord,  saying, 

16  ^O  Lord  of  hosts,  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  'dwellest  ^between 
the  "cherubims,  "•''thou  art  the 
God,  even  thou  alone,  of  all  the

and  hear;  open  thine  eyes,  O 
Lord,  and  see:  and  hear  all  the 
words  of  'Sen-na,ch'e-rib,  which 
hath  sent  to  reproach  the  living

but  the  work  of  men's  hands,

have  destroyed  them.

oU  Gen.   2:2. 


earth  may  know  that  tluni  art  tho 
Lord,  even  thou  only. 

21  t  Then  "I-.sa'iah  the  son  of 
A'nioz  sent  unto  ''Hez-e-ki'ah, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
Gofl  of  Is'ra-el,  Whereas  thou 
hast  prayed  to  me  against  '"Sen- 
nach'e-rib  king  of  '^As-syr'i-a : 

22  This  is  the  '^word  which  tlie 
Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 
him;  The  virgin,  the  daughter 
of  Zl'5n,  hath  despised  thee, 
and  laughed  thee  to  scorn;  the 
daughter  of  Je-rii'sa-lem  liath 
shaken  her  head  at  thee. 

23  Whom  hast  thou  reproac^hed 
and  ^blasphemed?  and  against 
whom  hast  thou  e.\alted<%  voice, 
and  lifted  up  thine  eyes  on  high  ? 
even  against  the  Tloly  One  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

24  By  thy  servants  hast  thou 
"reproached  the  Lord,  and  hast 
^said.  By  the  multitude  of  my 
chariots  am  I  come  up  to  the 
height  of  the  mountains,  to  the 
sides  of  ''Leb'a-non;  and  I  will 
cut  down  the  tall  cedars  thereof, 
and  the  choice  fir  trees  thereof: 
and  I  will  enter  into  -'the  height 
of  his  border,  and  the  forest  of 
his  Car'mel. 

25  I  have  digged,  and  drunk 
water;  and  with  the  sole  of  my 
feet  have  I  dried  up  all  the  rivers 
of  Hhe  besieged  places. 

20  I  last  thou  not  heard  long 
ago,  lioio  I  have  done  it;  and.  of 
ancient  times,  that  I  have  form- 
ed it?  now  have  I  brought  it  to 
pass,  that  thou  shouldest  be  to 
lay  waste  defenccd  cities  info 
ruinous  heaps. 

27  Therefore  their  inhabitants 
irere  of  small  power,  they  W(!re 
dismayed  and  confounded:  they 
were  as  the  grass  of  the  field, 
and  as  the  green  herb,  as  the 
grass  on  the  hou.setops,  and 
as  ^corn  blasted  before  it  be 
grown  up. 

28  But  I  'know  thy  abode,  and 


thy  going  out,  antl  thy  coming  in, 
aiul  thy  rage  against  me. 

29  '^Because  thy  rage  against 
me,  and  thy  tumult,  is  come  up 
into  mine  ears,  therefore  will  I 
put  my  hook  in  thy  nose,  and 
my  bridle  in  thy  lij)S,  and  I  will 
^turn  thee  back  by  the  way  by 
which  thou  earnest. 

30  And  this  shall  he  a  sign  unto 
thee.  Ye  shall  eat  ihis  year  such 
as  groweth  of  its(>lf ;  and  the  sec- 
ond year  that  which  springeth  of 
the  same:  and  in  the  third  year 
sow  ye,  and  rea]>,  and  ])lant  vine- 
yards, and  eat  the  fruit  thereof. 

31  And  the  remnant  that  is  es- 
caped of  the  house  of  '^Ju'dah 
shall  again  take  root  downward, 
and  bear  fruit  upward: 

32  For  out  of '  Je-ni'sa-lem  shall 
go  forth  a  remnant,  and  they  that 
escape  out  of  mount  Zfon:  the 
zeal  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall 
do  this. 

33  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  the  king  of 
''As-syr'i-a,  He  shall  not  come 
into  this  city,  nor  shoot  an  ar- 
row there,  nor  come  before  it 
with  shields,  nor  cast  a  bank 
against  it. 

34  By  the  way  that  he  came,  by 
thesame  shallhe  return, andshall 
not  come  into  this  city,  saith  the 
Lord. 

35  For  1  will  defend  this  city  to 
save  it  for  mine  own  sake,  and 
"'for  my  servant  "1  )a'vicrs  sake. 

30  ^  Then  the  "angel  of  the 
I>ORD  went  forth,  and  ^'-^'smote 
in  die  camp  of  the  ''As-syr'i-ans 
a  hundred  and  fourscore  and 
five  thousand:  and  when  they 
arose  early  in  the  morning,  be- 
hold, they  were  all  dead  corpses. 

37  So  '^Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of 
''A.s-syr'i-a  departed,  and  went 
and  returned,  and  dwelt  afNin  - 
e-veh.

CHAPTER  38 

Hezekiah,  in  answer  to  prayer,  has  his  life 
lengthened.  8  The  sun  goes  ten  degrees 
backward  for  a  sign  to  him.  9  His  song 
of  thanksgiving. 

IN  those  days  was  °Hez-e-ki'ah 
sick  unto  death.  And  ''I-sa'- 
iah  the  prophet  the  son  of  '^A'- 
moz  came  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  "^Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Set  thine  hou.se  in  order:  for  thou 
shalt  "die,  and  not  hve. 

2  Then  °Hez-e-ki'ah  turned  his 
face  toward  the  wall,  and  Sprayed 
unto  the  Lord, 

3  And  "said,  Remember  now, 

0  Lord,  I  beseech   thee,  how 

1  have  '^walked  before  thee  in 
'truth  and  with  a  perfect  heart, 
and  have  done  tJtat  which  is  good 
in  thy  sight.  And  °Hez-e-ki'ah 
^wej)t  sore. 

4  Then  "^came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  to  ''I-.sa'iah,  saying, 

5  Go,  and  ''say  to  Hez-e-kl'ah, 
'"Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Da'vid  thy  father,  I  have 
heard  thy  'prayer,  I  have  seen 
thy  ™tears:  behold,  I  will  add  un- 
to thy  days  fifteen  years. 

6  And  I  will  "deliver  thee  and 
this  city  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  "As-syrl-a:  and  I  will 
defend  this  city. 

7  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto 
thee  from  the  Lord,  that  the 
Lord  will  do  this  thing  that  he 
hath  spoken; 

8  Behold,  I  will  bring  ag-ain  the 
shadow  of  the  Megrees,  which 
isgone  down  in  the  ^sun  *dial  of 
'A'haz,  ten  Megrees  backward. 
So  the  sun  returned  ten  Megrees, 
^by  which  degrees  it  was  gone 
down. 


9  Tf  The  writing  of  "Hez-e-ki'ah 
king  of  *Ju'dah,  when  he  had 
been  sick,  and  was  'recovered  of 
his  sickness: 

10  I  "-"said  in  the  ^cutting  off  of 
my  days,  I  shall  go  to  the  '"gates 
of  the  ^grave:  I  am  deprived  of 
the  residue  of  my  years. 

11  I  "said,  I  shall  not  see  the 
Lord,  even  the  Lord,  in  the 
land  of  the  living:  I  shall  behold 
man  no  more  with  the  inhabit- 
ants of  the  world. 

12  Mine  ^age  is  departed,  and 
is  removed  from  me  as  a  shep- 
herd's ^tent:  I  have  Vut  off  like 
a  *weaver  my  life:  he  will  cut  me 
off  ^with  pining  sickness:  from 
day  evefi  to  night  wilt  thou  make 
an  end  of  me. 

13  I  ^reckoned  till  morning, 
that,  as  a  ^lion,  so  will  he  break 
all  my  bones:  from  day  even  to 
night  wilt  thou  make  an  end  of 
me. 

14  Like  a  '^crane  or  a  ^swallow, 
so  did  I  chatter:  I  did  mourn  as 
a  ^dove:  mine  eyes  fail  with  look- 
ing upward:  ''O  Lord,  I  am  op- 
pressed; ^undertake  for  me. 

1.5  What  shall  I  say  ?  he  hath 
both  spoken  unto  me,  and  him- 
self hath  done  it:  ^I  shall  go 
softly  all  niy  years  in  the  bitter- 
ness of  my  soul. 

16  O  Lord,  by  these  thinrjs  men 
live,  and  in  all  these  tilings  is  the 
life  of  my  spirit:  ^so  wilt  thou  re- 
cover me,  and  "make  me  to  live. 

1 7  Behold,  for  peace  I  had  great 
bitterness:  but  thou  hast  in  ^love 
to  my  soul  delivered  it  from 
the  pit  of  ^corruption:  for  thou 
hast  'cast  all  my  sins  behind  thy 
back. 

18  For  the  *grave  cannot  praise 
thee,  'death  can  7iot  celebrate 
thee:  they  that  go  down  into  the 
pit  cannot  "'hope  for  thy  "^truth.

lay  it  for  a  plaister  upon  the  ^boil, 
and  he  shall  recover. 

22  Hez-e-ki'ah  also  had  .said, 
What  is  the  sign  that  I  shall  go 
up  to  the  house  of  the  Lord  ? 

CHAPTER  39 

The  king  of  Babylon  sends  to  congratulate 
Hezekiah  upon  his  recovery.  3  Isaiah 
foretells  the  Babylonian  captivity. 

AT  that  time  "Me-ro'dttch- 
bal'a-dan,  the  son  of  Bul'- 
a-dan,  king  of  ''Bilb-y-lon,  sent 
"^letters  and  a  present  to  ''Hez- 
e-kfah:  for  he  had  heard  that 
he  had  been  sick,  and  was  re- 
covered. 

2  And  ''Hez-e-kl'ah  was  glad 
of  them,  and  ^shewed  'them 
the  ''house  of  his  precious  things, 
the  ''silver,  and  the  ^gold,  and  the 
^spices,  and  the  precious  '"^'oint- 
ment, and  all  the  'house  of  his 
armour,  and  all  that  was  found 
in  his  treasures:  there  was  noth- 
ing in  his  house,  nor  in  all 
his  dominion,  that  '^Hgz-e-ki'ah 
shewed  them  not. 

3  t  Then  came  '"•"I-.sa'iah  the 
j)rophct  unto  king  ''Hez-e-ki'ah, 
and  said  unto  him,  What  said 
the.se  men  ?  and  from  whence 
came  they  unto  thee  ?  And  Hez- 
e-kl'ah  said.  They  are  come  from 
a  far  country  unto  mc,  even  from 
''Bril)'y-l(Mi. 

4  Then  said  he.  What  have 
they  seen  in  thine  hou.se  ?  And 
''Hez-e-kl'ah  answered,  All  that 
is  in  mine  house  have  they  seen: 
there  is  nothing  among  my  trea.s- 
ures  that  I  have  not  shewed 
them. 


o  Then  said  "'■''I-.sa'iah  to  ''Hez- 
e-kl'ah,  "Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts: 

6  Behold,  the  days  come,  that 
all  that  is  in  thine  house,  and 
iliat  which  thy  fathers  have 
laid  up  in  store  until  this  day, 
shall  be  carried  to  ''Bab'y-lon: 
nothing  shall  be  left,  saith  the 
Lord. 

7  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall  is- 
sue from  thee,  which  thou  shalt 
beget,  shall  they  'take  away;  and 
they  shall  be  ''eunuchs  in  the  j)al- 
ace  of  the  king  of  ^Bab'y-lon. 

8  Then  said  "Hez-e-kfah  to 
'"i-sa'iah,  *'Good  is  the  word 
of  the  Lord  which  thou  hast 
spoken.  He  said  moreover,  For 
there  shall  be  "peace  and  "truth 
in  my  days.

surely  the  people  is  grass.

thy  voice  with  strength;  lift  it  up, 
be  not  afraid;  say  unto  the  cities 
of  *Ju'dah,  Behold  your  God  ! 

10  Behold,  the  ^Lord  God  will 
come  *with  strong  hand,  and  his 
"arm  shall  rule  for  him:  behold,

them  in  his  bosom,  and  shall

the  Lord  hath  done  this,  and 
the  "Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el  hath 
'"created  it. 

21  T[  ''Produce  your  cause, 
saith  the  Lord;  bring  forth  your 
strong  reasons,  saith  the  King  of 
Ja'cob. 

22  ''Let  them  bring  them  forth, 
and  shew  us  Avhat  shall  happen: 
let  them  .shew  the  former  things, 
what  they  be,  that  we  may  con- 
sider them,  and  know  the  latter 


end  of  them;  or  declare  us  things 
for  to  come. 

23  ^Shew  the  things  that  are 
to  come  hereafter,  that  we  may 
know  that  ye  are  gods:  yea,  do 
good,  or  do  evil,  that  we  may 
be  dismayed,  and  behold  it  to- 
gether. 

24  ^Behold,  ye  are  of  nothing, 
and  your  work  of  nought:  an 
abomination  is  he  that  chooseth 
you. 

25  ^I  have  raised  up  '^one  from 
the  north,  and  he  shall  come: 
from  the  rising  of  the  sun  shall 
he  call  upon  my  name:  and  he 
shall  come  upon  princes  as  upon 
morter,  and  as  the  potter  tread- 
eth  clay. 

26  Who  hath  declared  from  the 
beginning,  that  we  may  know  ? 
and  beforetime,  that  we  may 
say.  He  is  righteous  ?  yea,  there  is 
none  that  sheweth,  yea,  there 
is  none  that  declareth,  ysa,  there 
is  none  that  heareth  your  words. 

27  The  first  shall  say  to  'Zl'on, 
Behold,  behold  them:  and  I  will 
give  to  'Je-r\i'sa-lem  one  that 
bringeth   good   tidings. 

28  For  I  beheld,  and  there  was 
no  man;  even  among  them,  and 
the7'e  was  no  counsellor,  that, 
when  I  asked  of  them,  could  an- 
swer a  word. 

29  Behold,  they  are  all  vanity; 
their  works  are  nothing:  ''their 
molten  images  are  wind  and 
confusion.

whom  we  have  sinned  ?  for  they 
'"■"would  not  walk  in  his  ways, 
"neither  were  they  obedient  unto 
his  law. 
25  Therefore  he  hath  'poured 
upon  him  the  fury  of  his  ^anger, 
and  the  strength  of  battle:  and  it 
hath  set  him  on  fire  round  about, 
yet  he  knew  not;  and  it  burned 
him,  yet  he  laid  it  not  to  heart. 

CHAPTER  43 

God's  promises  to  his  chosen  people.  8 
They  are  witnesses  for  him  of  his  poiucr 
to  save.  14  His  purpose  to  destroy  Baby- 
lon, 18  and  to  deliver  his  people.  22  He 
rebukes  the  people  for  their  sins. 

BUT  now  thus  saith  the 
Lord  that  "created  thee, 
O  Jr/cob,  and  he  that  formed 
thee,  O  Is'ra-el,  "Fear  not:  for 
'^I  have  ''redeemed  thee,  I  have 
called  thee  by  thy  name;  thou 
art  mine. 

2  *When  thou  passest  through 
the  ''waters,  "•''■'^I  will  be  with 
thee;  and  through  the  rivers, 
they  shall  not  overflovA  thee: 
*^when  thou  walkest  throjgh  the 
fire,  ''-'thou  shalt  not  be  burned; 
''•'^neither  shall  the  flame  kindle 
upon  thee. 

3  For  I  am  the  LoRD  thy  God, 
the  ^Holy  One  of  Ls'ra-el,  thy 
'Saviour:  I  gave  'E'gypt  for 
thy  ransom,  '"E-thi-o'pi-a  and 
"•"Se'ba  for  thee. 

4  Since  thou  wast  precious  in 
my  sight,  thou  hast  been  hon- 
ourable, and  I  have  '^loved  thee: 
therefore  will  I  give  men  for 
thee,  and  people  for  thy  life. 

5  "'^Fear  not:  for  ''■'I  am  with 
thee:  I  will  bring  thy  seed  from 
the  east,  and  gather  thee  from 
the  west; 

6  I  will  say  to  the  north.  Give 
up;  and  to  the  south.  Keep  not 
back:  bring  my  ^sons  from  far, 
and  my  daughters  from  the  ends 
of  the  earth; 

7  Even  every  one  that  is  ^called 
by  my  name :  for  I  have  *crea  ted 


him  for  my  ""glory,  I  have  formed 
him;  yea,  I  have  made  him. 

8  T[  Bring  forth  the  "blind  peo- 
ple that  have  eyes,  and  the  'deaf 
that  have  ears. 

9  Let  all  the  nations  be  gath- 
ered together,  and  let  the  people 
be  assembled:  who  among  them 
can  "declare  this,  and  shew  us 
former  thino;s  ?  let  them  bring; 
forth  their  witnesses,  that  they 
may  be  justified:  or  let  them 
hear,  and  say.  It  is  truth. 

10  Ye  are  my  "witnesses, 
saith  the  Lord,  and  my  serv- 
ant whom  I  have  '"chosen; 
that  ye  may  know  and  ^believe 
me,  and  understand  that  I  am 
he:  before  me  there  was  no 
God  formed,  neither  shall  there 
be  after  me. 

Ill,  even  I,  am  the  ^Lord; 
and  beside  me  there  is  no 
^saviour. 

12  I  have  declared,  and  have 
saved,  and  I  have  shewed,  when 
there  was  no  strange  god  among 
you:  therefore  ye  are  my  wit- 
nesses, saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
am  God. 

13  Yea,  ^before  the  day  was 
I  am  he;  and  "there  is  none 
that  can  deliver  out  of  my 
hand:  I  will  work,  and  who 
shall  let  it? 

14  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
your  "redeemer,  the  '^■'^Holy  One 
of  Is'ra-el;  For  your  sake  ^I  have 
sent  to  'Bab'y-lon,  and  Miave 
brought  down  all  their  nobles,

is  in  the  ships. 

15  I  am  the  Lord,  your  ''•''Holy 
One,  the ''creator  of  Is'ra-el,  your 
King. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  which 
maketh  a  way  in  the  ^sea,  and  a 
path  in  the  mighty  waters; 

17  *Which  bringeth  forth  the 
chariot  and  horse,  the  army  and 
the  power;  they  shall  lie  down 
together,  they  shall  not  rise :  they

"sweet  cane  with  '^money,  neither 
hast  thou  filled  me  with  the  "'fat 
of  thy  sacrifices:  but  thou  hast 
made  me  to  serve  with  thy  sins, 
■''thou  hast  wearied  me  with  thine 
iniquities. 

2.5  I,  even  1,  am  he  that  ^-^blot- 
teth  out  thy  transgressions  for 
mine  own  sake,  and  will  not  re- 
member thy  sins. 

26  Put  me  in  ''remembrance: 
let  us  *plead  together:  declare 
thou,  that  thou  mayest  be  jiLs- 
tified. 

27  Thy  '^first  father  hath  ''sinned, 
and  ^tliy  "teachers  have  tran.s- 
gressed  against  me. 

28  Therefore  I  ''have  'profaned 
the  princes  of  the  sanctuary,  and 
^have  given  Ja'cob  to  the  curse, 
and  Is'ra-el  to  reproaches. 


CHAPTER  44 

Spiritual  bU'ssings  promised  to  Israel.  6 
Jehovah  the  only  true  God.  9  The  folly  of 
idolatry.  21  An  assurance  to  Israel  of 
deliverance. 

YET  now  hear,  O  Ja'cob  my 
servant;  and  Ls'ra-el,  whom 
"I  have  ''chosen: 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  that 
'"made  thee,  and  formed  thee 
from  the  womb,  which  will  helj) 
thee;  ''Fear  not,  O  Ja'cob,  my 
servant;  and  thou,  Mes'u-riin, 
whom  I  have  ''chosen. 

3  For  -1  will  pour  "•''•'water 
upon  him  that  is  Hhirsty,  and 
floods  upon  the  '^dry  ground:  I 
will  pour  my  'spirit  upon  thy 
'"seed,  and  my  blessing  upon 
thine  offspring: 

4  And  they  shall  spring  up  as 
among  the  grass,  as  "willows  by 
the  water  courses. 

5  One  shall  say,  I  am  the 
Lord's;  and  anotlier  shall  call 
himself  by  the  name  of  Ja'cob; 
and  another  shall  subscribe  with 
his  hand  unto  the  Lord,  and 
surname  himsel]  by  the  name  of 
Ls'ra-el. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  the 
"King  of  Ls'ra-el,  and  his  ^re- 
deemer the  Lord  of  hosts;  *I  am 
the  first,  and  'I  am  the  last; 
and  beside  me  tlicre  is  no  God. 

7  And  who,  as  ^\,  shall  call,  and 
shall  declare  it,  and  set  it  in  or- 
der for  me,  since  I  appointed  the 
ancient  people  ?  and  the  things 
that  are  coming,  and  shall  come, 
let  them  shew  unto  them. 

8  ''Fear  ye  not,  neither  be 
afraid:  have  not  I  told  thee  from 
that  time,  and  have  declared  it  ? 
ye  are  even  my  'witnesses.  Is 
there  a  God  beside  me  ?  yea, 
there  is  no  ^ God;  I  know  not  any. 

0  'They  tliat  make  a  "graven 
^image  are  all  of  them  vanity; 
and  their  delectable  things  shall 
not  profit;  and  they  are  tneir  own 
witnesses ;  they  see  not,  nor  know ; 
that  they  may  be  ashamed.

10  ^Who  hath  formed  a  god,  or 
molten  a  graven  image  that  is 
profitable  for  nothing  ? 

11  Behold,  all  his  fellows  shall 
be  ashamed:  and  the  workmen, 
they  are  of  men:  let  them  all  be 
gathered  together,  let  them  stand 
up;  yet  they  shall  fear,  and  they 
shall  be  ashamed  together. 

12  The  "'smith  Hvith  the  tongs 
both  worketh  in  the  coals,  and 
fashioneth  it  with  -^hammers,  and 
worketh  it  with  the  strength  of 
his  arms:  yea,  he  is  hungry,  and 
his  strength  faileth:  he  drinketh 
no  water,  and  is  faint. 

13  The  ^carpenter  stretcheth 
out  %is  rule;  he  marketh  it  out 
with  a  ^line;  he  fitteth  it  with 
j)lanes,  and  he  marketh  it  out 
with  the  compass,  and  maketh 
"it  after  the  figure  of  a  man,  ac- 
cording to  the  beauty  of  a  man; 
that  it  may  remain  in  the  house. 

14  He  heweth  him  down  cedars, 
and  taketh  the  Cypress  and  the 
oak,  which  he  strengtheneth  for 
himself  among  the  trees  of  the 
forest:  he  planteth  ®an  ash,  and 
the  rain  doth  nourish  it. 

15  Then  shall  it  be  for  a  man 
to  burn:  for  he  will  take  thereof, 
and  warm  himself;  yea,  he  kin- 
dleth  it,  and  baketh  bread;  yea, 
he  maketh  a  "god,  and  worship- 
peth  it;  he  maketh  it  a  graven 
image,  and  faileth  down  thereto. 

16  He  burnetii  part  thereof  in 
the  fire;  with  part  thereof  he  eat- 
eth  flesh;  he  roasteth  roast,  and 
is  satisfied:  yea,  he  warmeth  him- 
self, and  saith.  Aha,  I  am  warm, 
I  have  seen  the  fire: 

17  And  the  residue  thereof  he 
maketh  a  "god,  even  his  graven 
image:  he  'faileth  down  unto  it, 
and  worshippeth  it,  and  prayeth 
unto  it,  and  saith,  Deliver  me; 
for  thou  art  my  god. 

18  They  have  ^not  known  nor 
understood:  for  he  hath  shut  their 
eyes,  that  they  cannot  see;  and 


their  hearts,   that   they   cannot 
understand. 

19  And  none  considereth  in  his 
heart,  neither  is  there  knowledge 
nor  understanding  to  say,  I  have 
burned  part  of  it  in  the  fire;  yea, 
also  I  have  baked  "bread  upon 
the  coals  thereof;  I  have  roasted 
flesh,  and  eaten  it:  and  shall  I 
make  the  residue  thereof  an 
abomination  ?  "shall  I  fall  down 
to  the  stock  of  a  tree  ? 

20  He  feedeth  on  ashes:  a  '^de- 
ceived heart  hath  turned  him 
aside,  that  he  cannot  deliver  his 
soul,  nor  say.  If  there  not  a  lie  in 
my  right  hand  ? 

21  "[j  Remember  these,  O  Ja'- 
cob  and  T.s'ra-el;  for  thou  art 
my  servant:  I  have  formed  thee; 
tliou  art  my  servant:  O  Is'ra-el, 
'^tliou  shalt  not  be  forgotten  of 
me. 

22  I  have  ''blotted  out,  as  a 
thick  cloud,  thy  transgressions, 
and,  as  a  cloud,  thy  sins:  ^return 
unto  me;  for  I  have  "redeemed 
thee. 

23  ''Sing,  O  ye  heavens;  for  the 
Lord  hath  done  it:  shout,  ye 
lower  parts  of  the  earth:  break 
forth  into  singing,  ye. mountains, 
O  forest,  and  every  tree  therein: 
for  the  Lord  hath  redeemed 
Jii'cob,  and  glorified  himself  in 
Is'ra-el. 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  thy 
'redeemer,  and  he  that  '•'^formed 
thee  from  the  womb,  'I  ajn  the 
Lord  that  'maketh  all  tilings; 
that  stretcheth  forth  the  '"heav- 
ens alone;  that  spreadeth  abroad 
the  ''■"earth  by  myself; 

25  That  frustrateth  the  tokens 
of  the  liars,  and  maketh  "di- 
viners mad;  that  turneth  ^wise 
men  backward,  and  maketh 
their  knowledge  foolish;

All  nations  exhorted  to  look  unto  God  for 
salvation. 

"fTIHUS  saith  the  Lord  to  his 
-L  ''"'^anointed,  to  ''(^y'rus, 
whose  right  hanrt  ''I  have  holden, 
to  subdue  nations  before  him; 
and  ^I  will  loose  the  loins  of 
kings,  to  open  Mjefore  him  the 
two  leaved  gates;  and  the  'gates 
shall  not  be  shut; 

2  "I  will  go  before  '^thee, 
and  make  the  ^crooked  places 
straight:  I  will  break  in  pieces 
the  -Agates  of  brass,  and  cut  in 
sunder  the  bars  of  iron: 

3  And  I  will  give  '^thee  the 
treasures  of  darkness,  and  hid- 
den riches  of  secret  places,  that 
thou  mayest  know  that  I,  the 
Lord,  which  *call  thee  by  thy 
name,  am  the  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  ''For  *Ja'cob  my  servant's 
.sake,  and  I§'ra-el  *mine  ^elect,  I 
have  even  called  '^thec  by  thy 
name:  I  have  surnamed  thee, 
though  thou  hast  not  known  me. 

5  '"I  am,  the  Lord,  and  there  is- 
none  else,  there  is  no  God  beside 
me:  I  girded  "thee,  thcjugh  thou 
hast  not  known  me: 

6  That  they  may  know  from 
the  rising  of  the  sun,  and  from 
the  west,  that  there  is  none  be- 
side me.  I  am  the  Lord,  and 
there  is  none  else. 


7  T  form  the  "'light,  and  create 
"darkness:  I  make  "•''peace,  and 
create  'evil:  ^I  the  Lord  do  all 
these  thinqs. 

S  Drop  down,  ye  heavens,  from 
above,  and  let  the  skies  pour 
down  righteousness:  let  the  earth 
open,  and  let  them  bring  forth 
salvation,  and  let  righteousness 
spring  up  together;  ^I  the  Lord 
have  'created  it. 

9  ''Woe  unto  b.im  that  *striveth 
with  his  I\ laker!  ^Let  the  'pot- 
sherd strive  with  the  potsherds 
of  the  earth.  "Shall  the  clay  say 
to  him  that  fashioneth  it,  What 
makest  thou  ?  or  thy  work.  He 
hath  no  hands  ? 

10  Woe  unto  him  that  saith  un- 
to his  father.  What  begettest 
thou  ?  or  to  the  woman.  What 
hast  thou  brought  fortli  ? 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
"Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  and  his 
'Maker,  "'Ask  me  of  things  to 
come  concerning  my  sons,  and 
concerning  the  work  of  my 
hands  command  ye  me. 

12  I  have  'made  the  ^earth,  and 
created  ^man  upon  it:  1,  even 
my  hands,  have  stretched  out 
the  %eavens,  and  all  their  host 
have  I  commanded. 

13  "I  have  raised  ''him  up  in 
righteousness,  and  I  will  direct 
all  his  ways:  he  shall  build  my 
city,  and  he  shall  let  go  my  caj)- 
tives,  not  for  price  nor  reward, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The 
labour  of  ''E'gypt,  and  ''mer- 
cliandise  of  '^E-thi-6'pi-a  and  of 
the  *Sa-be'an§,  men  of  stature, 
shall  come  over  unto  thee,  and 
they  shall  be  thine:  they  .shall 
come  after  thee;  in  chains  they 
shall  come  over,  and  they  shall 
fall  down  unto  thee,  they  shall 
make  supplication  unto  thee,

set  up  the  wood  of  their  ^graven 
'image,  and  pray  unto  a  god  that 
cannot  save. 

21  Tell  ye,  and  bring  them  near;

from  ancient  time  ?  who  hath 
told  it  from  that  time  ?  have  not

The  prophet  shews  the  folly  of  idolatry,  and 
exhorts  the  people  of  God  to  trust  in  him 
for  deliverance. 

BEL  boweth  down,  Ne'bo 
stoopeth,  their  ''idols  were 
upon  the  beasts,  and  ujion  the 
cattle:  your  carriages  ivcre  heavy 
loaden;  they  are  a  burden  to  the 
weary  heast. 

2  They  stoop,  they  bow  down 
together;  they  could  not  deliver 
the  burden,  but  themselves  are 
gone  into  captivity. 

3  ^  Hearken  unto  me,  O  house 
of  Ja'cob,  and  all  the  remnant 
of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
are  borne  hy  '^me  from  the  belly, 
which  are  carried  from  the 
womb:

am  he;  and  everi  to  hoar  hairs 
will  "^I  carry  yow.  I  have  made, 
and  I  will  l)ear;  even  I  will  carry, 
and  will  deliver  you.

Babylon  to  be  overthrawn ,  6  because  of  her 
oppression,  7  pride,  10  and  self-conceit, 
11  notwithstanding  her  enchantments. 

GOME  down,  and  sit  in  the 
dust,  O  virgin  daughter  of 
"Bab'y-lon,  sit  on  the  ground: 
there  is  no  throne,  O  daugliter  of 
the  Chal-de'an.s:  for  thou  shalt 
no  more  be  called  tender  and 
delicate. 

2  Take  the  ^millstones,  and 
grind  meal;  'uncover  thy  locks. 


make  bare  the  leg,  uncover  the 
thigh,  pass  over  the  rivere. 

3  Thy  nakedness  shall  be  un- 
covered ;  yea,  thy  shame  shall  be 
seen:  I  will  take  vengeance,  and 
I  will  ^not  meet  thee  as  a  man. 

4  %  As  for  our  "^redeemer,  the 
IjORD  of  hosts  is  his  name,  the 
"•^Holy  One  of  Ls'ra-el. 

5  Sit  thou  silent,  and  get  thee 
into  darkness,  O  daughter  of 
the  Chal-de'ans:  for  ^thou  shalt 
no  more  be  called.  The  lady  of 
kingdoms. 

G  I  was  "wroth  with  my  people, 
I  have  polluted  mine  inheritance, 
and  ''given  them  into  thine  hand: 
thou  didst  'shew  them  no  mercy; 
upon  the  ancient  hast  thou  very 
heavily  laid  thy  yoke. 

7  And  thou  ^saidst,  I  shall  be  a 
lady  for  ever:  so  that  thou  didst 
not  lay  these  things  to  thy  heart, 
neither  didst  remember  the  lat- 
ter end  of  it. 

8  Therefore  hear  now  this,  tho^t 
that  art  ^given  to  'pleasures,  that 
dwellest  carelessly,  that  'sayest 
in  thine  heart,  I  am,  and  none 
else  beside  me;  I  shall  not  sit  as  a 
widow,  neither  shall  I  know  the 
loss  of  children: 

9  But  ''these  two  ^things  shall 
come  to  thee  in  a  moment  in  one

the  multitude  of  thy  *sorceries,

CHAPTER  48 

God  rebukes  the  obstinacy  of  his  people.  9 
He  saves  them  for  his  own  sake.  12  His 
power  and  providence.  16  His  lamenta- 
tion over  their  perverscness.  20  Tlie  cer- 
tainty of  their  deliverance  from  Babylon. 

HEAR  ye  this,  O  house  of 
Ja'cob,  which  are  called 
by  the  name  of  Is'ra-el,  and  are 
come  forth  out  of  the  waters  of 
Ju'dah,  which  '^■''swear  by  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  make 
mention  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
but  '^not  in  truth,  nor  in  right- 
eousness. 

2  For  '^they  call  themselves  of 
the  holy  city,   and  stay   them- ' 


selves  upon  the  God  of  Is'ra-el; 
The  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

3  '^I  have  declared  the  former 
things  from  the  beginning;  and 
they  went  forth  out  of  my  mouth, 
and  I  shewed  them;  I  did  them 
suddenly,  and  they  came  to  pass. 

4  Because  '"I  knew  that  thou  art 
^•"•''obstinate,  and  thy  neck  is  an 
iron  sinew,  and  thy  brow  %rass ; 

5  '^I  have  even  from  the  begin- 
ning declared  it  to  thee;  before  it 
came  to  pass  I  shewed  it  tliee: 
lest  thou  shouldest  say,  ^]\line 
'idol  hath  done  them,  and  my 
graven  image,  and  my  molten 
image,  hath  commanded  them. 

6  Thou  hast  heard,  see  all 
this;  and  will  not  ye  declare  it"^ 
I  have  shewed  thee  new  things 
from  this  time,  even  hidden 
things,  and  thou  Midst  not  know 
them. 

7  They  are  created  now,  and 
not  from  the  beginning;  even 
before  the  day  when  thou  heard- 
est  them  not;  lest  thou  should- 
est say.  Behold,  I  knew  them. 

8  Yea,  thou  heardest  not;  yea, 
thou  'knewest  not;  yea,  from 
that  time  that  thine  ear  was  not 
opened:  for  I  knew  that  thou 
wouldest  deal  very  treacher- 
ously, and  wast  called  a  trans- 
gressor from  the  womb. 

9  ^  For  my  name's  sake  will 
I  '"'"defer  mine  "anger,  and  for 
my  praise  will  I  refrain  for  thee, 
that  I  cut  thee  not  off. 

10  Behold,  I  have  p- "refined 
thee,  but  not  with  silver;  I  have 
chosen  thee  in  the  ''furnace  of 
affliction. 

1 1  For  mine  own  sake,  even  for 
mine  own  sake,  will  I  do  it:  for 
how  should  my  name  be  ^pol- 
luted ?  and  *I  will  not  give  my 
'glory  unto  another. 

12  ^  Hearken  unto  me,  O  3a'-

am  he;  "I  am  the  first,  ''I  also 
am.  the  last.

them,  they  stand  up  together. 

14  All  ye,  asseml)le  yourselves, 
and  hear;  which  among  them 
hath  declared  these  tJiings  ?  The 
Lord  hath  ^loved  "him:  he  will 
do  his  pleasure  on  *Bab'y-lon, 
and  his  arm  shall  be  on  the 
'"Chal-de'an.s. 

lo  I,  even  I,  have  spoken;  yea,  I 
have  called  "him:  I  have  brought 
him,  and  he  shall  make  his  way 
prosperous. 

IG  ^  Come  ye  near  unto  me, 
hear  ye  this;  I  have  not  spoken 
in  secret  from  the  beginning; 
from  the  time  that  it  was,  there 
am  I:  and  now  I  he  Lord  God, 
and  his  Spirit,  hath  sent  me. 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  thy 
''Redeemer,  the  *'Holy  One  of 
I.s'ra-el;  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God 
which  ^•''teacheth  thee  to  profit, 
which  '^leadeth  thee  by  the  way 
that  thou  shouldest  go. 

18  O  that  thou  hadst  hearkened 
to  my  commandments !  'then  had 
thy  ^peace  been  as  a  river,  and 
thy  ^righteousness  as  the  waves 
of  the  sea: 

19  Thy  seed  also  had  been  as 
the  sand,  and  the  offspring  of  thy 
l)owels  like  the  ^gravel  thereof; 
his  name  should  not  have  been 
cut  off  nor  destroyed  from  be- 
fore me. 

20  Tl  Go  ye  forth  of  "Bab'y-lon, 
flee  ye  from  the  '^Chal-de'an.s, 
with  a  voice  of  singing  declare 
ye,  tell  this,  utter  it  even  to  the 
end  of  the  earth;  .say  ye,  The 
Lord  hath  redeemed  his  serv- 
ant Ja'cob. 

21  And  they  thirsted  not  v^heii 
''he  led  them  through  the  deserts: 
he'cau.sed  the '"waters  to  flow  out 
of  the  "rock  for  them:  he  clave 
the  rock  also,  and  the  waters 
gushed  out. 


22  "There  is  no  peace,  saith  the 
Lord,  unto  the  wicked. 

CHAPTER  49 

Thf  Messiah  and  the  object  of  his  advent. 
7  God  promises  him  protection  and  suc- 
cess. 13  God's  xinehangino  love  to  Zion. 
18  Her  glorious  enlargement  foretold.  ZA 
The  enemies  of  Zion  shall  be  destroi/ed. 

LISTEN,  O  isles,  unto  «me; 
and  hearken,  ye  ''people, 
from  far;  The  Lord  hath  called 
me  from  the  womb;  from  the 
bowels  of  my  mother  hath  he 
made  mention  of  my  name. 

2  And  he  hath  made  my  mouth 
like  a  sharp  sword;  in  the  shad- 
ow of  his  hand  hath  he  hid  me, 
and  made  me  a  polished  shaft;  in 
his  quiver  hath  he  hid  me; 

3  And  said  unto  me,  Thou  art 
my  servant,  O  Is'ra-el,  in  whom 
I  will  be  '^glorified. 

4  Then  I  said,  I  have  laboured 
in  vain,  I  have  spent  my  strength 
for  nought,  and  in  vain:  yet 
surely  my  judgment  is  with  the 
Lord,  and  my  'work  with  my 
God. 

5  And  now,  .saith  the  Lord 
that  formed  me  from  the  womb 
to  be  his  servant,  to  bring 
Ja'cob  again  to  him,  ^Though 
Is'ra-el  be  not  gathered,  yet 
shall  I  be  glorious  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Lord,  and  my  God  .shall 
be  my  strength. 

6  And  he  said.  It  is  a  light 
thing  that  thou  shouldest  be  my 
servant  to  raise  up  the  tribes 
of  Ja'col),  and  to  restore  the  pre- 
.served  of  T.s'ra-el:  "-T  will  also 
give  "thee  ''for  a  ''light  to  the 
''Gen'tlle.s,  that  thou  mayest  be 
my  salvation  unto,  the  end  of  the 
earth. 

7  ^  Thus  ^.saith  the  Lord,  the 
Redeemer  of  Is'ra-cl,  and  his 
Holy  One,  to  him  whom  man 
despi.seth,  to  him  whom  the  na- 
tion abhorreth,  to  a  .servant  of 
rulers.  Kings  shall  see  and  arise, 
princes  also  shall  worship,  be- 

I  cause  of  the  Lord  that  is  ''faith-

8  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  *In 
an  acceptable  time  have  I  heard 
thee,  and  in  a  day  of  salvation 
have  I  helped  thee:  and  I  will 
'preserve  thee,  and  give  thee  for 
a  covenant  of  the  people,  to  es- 
tablish the  earth,  to  cause  to  in- 
herit the  desolate  heritages; 

9  That  thou  mayest  say  to  the 
prisoners,  Go  forth ;  to  them  that 
are  in  "'darkness,  Shew  your- 
selves. "They  shall  feed  in  the 
ways,  and  their  pastures  shall  he 
in  all  high  places. 

10  '^They  shall  not  hunger  nor 
thirst;  neither  shall  the  heat  nor 
sun  smite  them:  for  Hie  that  hath 
mercy  on  them  shall  lead  them, 
even  by  the  springs  of  "'^water 
shall  he  guide   them. 

11  And  I  will  make  all  my 
mountains  a  way,  and  my  high- 
ways shall  be  exalted. 

12  Behold,  ''these  shall  come 
from  far:  and,  lo,  these  from  the 
north  and  from  the  west;  and 
these  from  the  land  of  Si'nim. 

13  ^  'Sing,  O  heavens;  and  be 
''joyful,  O  earth;  and  break  forth 
into  singing,  O  mountains:  for 
'the  Lord  hath  'comforted  his 
people,  and  will  have  "mercy  up- 
on his  afflicted. 

14  But  'Zl'on  «'--^said,  mie 
Lord  hath  forsaken  me,  and 
my  Lord  hath  forgotten  me. 

15  Can  a  ^woman  forget  her 
sucking  child,  that  she  should 
not  have  compassion  on  the  son 
of  her  womb  ?  yea,  they  may  for- 
get, yet  will  ^I  not  forget  thee. 

16  Behold,  I  have  graven  °thee 
upon  the  palms  of  my  hands;  thy 
walls  are  continually  before  me. 

17  ''Thy  children  shall  make 
haste;  thy  destroyers  and  they 
that  made  thee  waste  shall  go 
forth  of  thee. 


18  Lift  up  thine  eyes  round 
about,  and  behold:  all  '^these 
gather  themselves  together,  and 
come  to  thee.  '^As  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord,  thou  shalt  surely 
clothe  thee  with  them  all,  as  witli 
an  ornament,  and  bind  them  on 
thee,  as  a  *bride  doeth. 

19  *For  ''thy  waste  and  thy  des- 
olate places,  and  ^the  land  of  thy 
destruction,  .shall  even  now  be 
too  narrow  by  reason  of  the  '"in- 
habitants, and  they  that  swal- 
lowed thee  up  shall  be  far  away. 

20  ''•^The  children  «which  thou 
shalt  have,  after  thou  hast  lost 
tlie  other,  shall  say  again  in  thine 
ears.  The  place  is  too  strait  for 
me:  give  place  to  me  that  I  may 
dwell. 

21  '^•''Then  shalt  thou  say  in 
thine  heart.  Who  hath  begotten 
me  these,  seeing  I  have  lost  my 
children,  and  am  desolate,  a  cap- 
tive, and  removing  to  and  fro  ? 
and  who  hath  brought  up  these  ? 
Behold,  I  was  left  alone;  these, 
where  had  they  been  ? 

22  «Thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
Behold,  I  will  lift  up  mine  hand 
to  the  ''-'^Gen'tiles,  and  .set  up 
my  ^standard  to  the  people:  and 
they  shall  bring  thy  sons  in  their 
arms,  and  thy  daughters  shall  be 
carried  upon  their  shoulders. 

23  And  kings  shall  be  thy  nurs- 
ing fathers,  and  their  queens  thy 
nursing  mothers:  they  shall  bow 
down  to  thee  with  their  face  to- 
ward the  earth,  and  lick  up  the 
dust  of  thy  feet;  and  thou  shalt 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord:  for 
''they  shall  not  be  ashamed  that 
wait  for  me.

from  the  mighty,  or  the  lawful 
captive  delivered  ?

CHAPTER  50 

The  sins  of  Israel  the  cause  of  their  suffer- 
ings, and  not  God's  inability  to  save.  4 
God's  gifts  to  the  Messiah.  6  His  patient 
endurance  of  reproach.  10  An  exhorta- 
tion to  trust  in  God,  and  not  in  ourselves. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord,  Where 
is  the  bill  of  your  "mother's 
^divorcement,  whom  '^I  have 
"^put  away?  or  which  of  my  cred- 
itors is  it  to  whom  I  have  sold 
you  ?  Behold,  for  your  iniquities 
have  ye  sold  yourselves,  and  for 
your  transgressions  is  your 
mother   put   away. 

2  Wherefore,  when  I  came,  tvas 
there  no  man  ?  when  I  called, 
was  there  none  to  answer?  Is 
my  hand  shortened  at  all,  that  it 
cannot  ^I'edeem  ?  or  have  I  no 
^power  to  deliver  ?  behold,  at 
my  rebuke  I  dry  up  the  sea,  I 
make  the  rivers  a  wilderness: 
their  fi.sh  stinketh,  becau.se  there 
is  no  water,  and  dieth  for  thirst. 

3  I  clothe  the  heavens  with 
blackness,  and  I  make  sackcloth 
their  covering;. 


i  Tf  The  Lord  God  hath  given 
^me  the  tongue  of  'the  ''learned, 
that  I  should  know  how  to  'speak 
a  word  in  season  to  him  that  is 
weary:  he  wakeneth  morning  by 
morning,  he  wakeneth  mine  ear 
to  liear  as  ^the  learned. 

5  The  Lord  God  hath  opened 
^mine  ear,  and  I  was  not  rebel- 
lious, neither  turned  away  back. 

6  ^'^I  gave  my  back  to  the 
*smiters,  and  my  cheeks  to  them 
that  plucked  off  the  hair:  I  hid 
not  my  face  from  shame  and 
'spitting. 

7  For  the  Lord  God  will  help 
me;  therefore  shall  I  not  be  con- 
founded: therefore  have  I  ^set 
my  face  like  a  flint,  and  I  know 
that  I  shall  not  be  ashamed. 

8  He  is  near  that  justifieth  me; 
who  will  contend  with  me  ?  let  us 
stand  together:  who  is  mine  ad- 
versary ?  let  him  come  near  to 
me. 

9  Behold,  the  Lord  God  will 
help  me;  who  is  he  that  shall 
condemn  me  ?  lo,  they  all  shall 
wax  old  as  a  garment;  the  moth 
shall  eat  them  up. 

10  Tl  Who  is  among  you  that 
'"feareth  the  Lord,  that  ^obey- 
eth  the  voice  of  his  servant,  that 
walketh  in  "'"darkness,  and  hath 
no  ''light  ?  ^let  him  trust  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  stay 
upon  his  God. 

11  Behold,  all  ye  that  kindle 
a  fire,  that  ^compass  yourselves

CHAPTER  5] 

Comfort  promised  to  Zion.  4  God's  salva- 
tion is  near.  7  The  destruction  of  Zion' s 
enemies  foretold.  9  The  people  of  God 
pray  for  his  aid  as  of  old.  12  His  prom- 
ise to  them.  17  The  afflictions  of  Jerusa- 
lem bewailed,  21  and  her  deliverance 
promised. 

HEARKEN  to  me,  ye  that^fol- 
low  after  righteousness,  ^ye 
that  "seek  the  Lord:  look  unto 
the  rock  whence  ye  are  hewn,  and 
to  the  hole  of  the  pit  whence  ye 
are  digged. 

2  Look  unto  '"xi'brct-hitm  your 
father,  and  unto  ''Sa'rah  that  bare 
you:  for  ^-'I  ''called  him  alone, 
and  blessed  him,  and  "increased 
him, 

3  For  the  Lord  shall  comfort 
''•*Zl'5n:  he  will  comfort  all  her 
waste  ]ilaces;  and  he  will  make 
her  wilderness  like  *E'den,  and 
her  desert  like  the  garden  of  the 
Lord;  'joy  and  gladness  shall 
be  found  therein,  ^thanksgivino;, 
and  the  voice  of  melody. 

4  ^  Hearken  unto  me,  my  *peo- 
ple;  and  give  ear  unto  me,  O  my 
nation:  for  a  'law  shall  proceed 
from  me,  and  I  will  make  my 
judgment  to  rest  for  a  light  of 
the  people. 

5  ]My  righteousness  is  near;  my 
'"salvation  is  gone  forth,  and  mine 
arms  shall  judge  the  people;  the 
isles  shall  wait  upon  me,  and  on 
mine  arm  shall  they  trust. 

6  Lift  up  your  eyes  to  the  "heav- 
ens, and  look  upon  the  earth 
beneath:  for  the  heavens  shall 
vanish  away  like  smoke,  and 
the  "earth  shall  wax  old  like  a 
garment,  and  they  that  dwell 
therein  shall  die  in  like  man- 
ner: but  ^my '"salvation  shall  be 
for  ever,  and  ^my  righteousness 
shall  not  be  abolished. 


*  EDEN. 


7  T[  Hearken  unto  me,  ye  that 
"•'know  ''righteousness,  the  peo- 
ple "in  whose  heart  is  my  *law; 
'fear  ye  not  the  reproach  of  men, 
neither  be  ye  afraid  of  their 
revilings, 

S  For  "the  moth  shall  eat  "them 
up  like  a  garment,  and  the  worm 
shall  eat  them  like  wool:  but  my 
""righteousness  shall  be  for  ever, 
and  my  '"salvation  from  genera- 
tion to  generation. 

9  T[  ^'^Awake,  awake,  put  on 
strength,  O  arm  of  the  Lord; 
awake,  as  in  the  ancient  days,  in 
the  generations  of  old.  Art  thou 
not  it  that  "hath  cut  ^Ra'hab, 
and  wounded  the  dragon  ? 

10  Art  thou  not  it  ^which  hath 
dried  the  "sea,  the  waters  of  the 
great  deep;  that  hath  made 
the  depths  of  the  sea  a  w^ay  for 
the  ransomed  to  *pass  over  ? 

11  Therefore  '^•''the  redeemed 
of  the  Lord  shall  return,  and 
come  with  singing  unto  Zl'on; 
and  everlasting  ^joy  shall  be 
upon  their  head:  '^-''they  shall 
obtain  gladness  and  joy;  and 
'■''^sorrow  and  mourning  shall  flee 
away. 

12  I,  eiien  I,  am  he  that  ''com- 
forteth  you:  ^who  art  thou,  that 
thou  shouldest  be  afraid  of  a 
man  that  ''shall  die,  and  of  the 
son  of  man  tvhich  shall  be  made 
as  grass ; 

13  And  forgettest  the  'Lord 
'thy  maker,  that  hath  stretched 
forth  the  heavens,  and  laid  the 
foundations  of  the  eartii;  and 
hast  feared  continually  every  day 
because  of  the  fury  of  the  op- 
pressor, as  if  he  Vv^ere  ready  to 
destroy  ?  and  where  is  the  fury 
of  the  oppressor  ? 

14  The  ^captive  exile  ^hasten- 
eth  that  he  may  be  loosed,  and 
that  he  should  not  die  in  the  pit, 
nor  that  liis  bread  should  fail.

Thou  art  my  people.

up,  O  Je-rii'sa-lem,  which  hast 
drunk  at  the  hand  of  the  Lord

hand  of  them  that  afflict  thee; 
which  have  said  to  thy  soul, 
Bow  down,  that  we  may  go  over: 


and  thou  hast  laid  thy  body  as

AWAKE,  awake;  "put  on  thy 
strength,  O  Zi'on;  put  on 
thy  beautiful  garments,  O  ''Jo-

henceforth  there  shall  no  more 
come  into  thee  the  uncircumcised 
and  the  unclean.

arise,  and  sit  down,  O  Je-rii'sa-

of  thy  neck,  O  captive  daughter 
of  zi'on. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
have  sold  yourselves  for  nought; 
and  ye  shall  be  redeemed  with- 
out money. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
My  ''people  went  down  aforetime 
into'^E'gypt  to  sojourn  there;and 
the  As-syr't-an  ''oppressed  them 
without  cause.

15  *So  shall  he  sprinkle  many 
nations;  the  kings  shall  shut  their 
mouths  at  him:  'for  that  which 
had  not  been  told  them  shall  they

not  heard  shall  they  consider. 

CHAPTER  53 

The  Messiah  despised  and  rejected.  4  His 
sufferings  in  our  behalf.  7  His  meek- 
ness, humiliation,  and  death.  10  The 
benefits  of  his  passion. 

''■''•''TI7IIO  hath  believed  our 
*  *  report  ?  and  to  whom  is 
the  arm  of  the  Lord  revealed? 
2  For  '^'''he  shaU  grow  up  be- 
fore him  as  a  tender  plant,  and 
as  a  root  out  of  a  dry  ground:  he 
hath  no  form  nor  comeliness; 
and  when  we  shall  see  him,  there 


is  no  beauty  that  we  should  de- 
sire him. 

3  ''•''He  is  Mespised  and  ^re- 
jected of  men;  a  man  of  ''sorrows, 
and  acquainted  with  grief:  and 
Hve  hid  as  it  were  our  faces  from 
him;  he  was  despised,  and  we 
'esteemed  him  not. 

4  ^  'Surely  "•^•'^he  hath  *-'borne 
our  griefs,  and  ^'-'carried  our  sor- 
rows: yet  we  did  esteem  him 
'"stricken,  smitten  of  God,  and 
afflicted. 

5  But  ''-'^•''he  was  'wounded 
''for  our  transgressions,  he  tvas 
'bruised  "for  our  iniquities:  the 
chastisement  of  our  "peace  was 
upon  him;  and  with  his  stripes 
we  are  healed. 

6  ''All  we  like  sheep  have  'gone 
astray;  we  have  turned  every  one 
to  his  own  way;  and  the  Lord 
hath  laid  on  him  the  iniquity  of 
us  all. 

7  He  was  ^-''oppressed,  and  he 
was  afflicted,  yet  he  ''■^opened 
not  his  mouth:  'he  is  brought 
as  a  lamb  to  the  slaughter,  and 
as  a  sheep  before  her  shearers 
is  dumb,  so  he  openeth  not  his 
mouth. 

8  "'^He  was  taken  from  prison 
and  from  judgment:  and  who 
shall  declare  his  generation  ?  for 
he  was  "cut  off  out  of  the  land 
of  the  living:  '''''for  the  transgres- 
sion of  my  people  was  he  stricken. 

9  And  ^•'^•'^he  made  his  grave 
with  the  wicked,  and  with  the  rich 
in  his  death;  ^because  "'he  had 
done  no  violence,  ^neither  tvas 
any  "deceit  in  his  mouth. 

10  Yet  it  pleased  the  Lord  to 
bruise  him;  he  hath  put  him  to 
grief:  when  thou  shalt  make  his 
soul  an  ''■  "offering  for  sin,  he 
shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall  pro- 
long his  days,  and  the  pleasure 
of  the  Lord  shall  prosper  in  his 
hand. 

11  He  shall  see  of  the  travail  of 
his  soul,  and  shall  be  satisfied:  by

enlargement.  7  His  covenant  with  her 
flnn  and  immovable.  1 1  Her  future  pros-

of  safety  from  her  enemies.

into  singing,  and  cry  aloud,  thou 
that  didst  not  travail  with  child: 
^for  more  a7-e  the  children  of  the 
desolate  than  the  children  of  the 
married  wife,  saith  the  LoiU). 

2  Enlarge  the  ])lace  of  thy  tent, 
and  let  them  stretch  forth  the 
curtains  of  thine  habitations: 
spare  not,  lengthen  thy  cords, 
and  strengtlien  thy  stakes; 

3  For  ''thou  shalt  H)reak  forth 
on  the  right  hand  and  on  the 
left;  and  thy  seed  .shall  -inherit 
the  ''Gen' tiles,  and  make  the  des- 
olate cities  to  be  inhabited. 

4  Fear  not;  for  tliou  shalt  not  be 
ashamed:  neither  l)e  thou  con- 
founded; for  thou  shalt  not  be 
put  to  shame:  for  thou  shalt  for- 
get the  shame  of  thy  youth,  and 
shalt  not  remember  the  rejjroach 
of  thy  widowhood  any  more. 

5  ^For  thy  "Maker  is-  thine  ''hus- 
band; the  LoKD  of  hosts  u  his 
name;  and  thy  Uledeemer  the 
^Holy  One  of  Ts'ra-el;  The  ^God 
of  the  wiiole  earth  shall  he  be 
called. 

6  For  ''the  Lord  hath  called 
thee  as  a  ^woman  forsaken  and 


grieved  in  sjnrit,  and  a  wife  of 
youth,  when  ■*thou  wast  refused, 
saith  thy  God. 

7  For  a  small  moment  have  I 
forsaken  thee;  but  with  great 
'uiercies  will  I  gather  thee. 

8  In  '^i  little  '"wrath  I  hid  my 
face  from  thee  for  a  moment; 
but  %ith  everlasting  kindness 
will  I  have  'mercy  on  thee,  saith 
the  Lord  thy  'Redeemer. 

9  For  this  is  as  the  "waters 
of  "No'ah  unto  me:  for  ''as  I 
have  %worn  that  the  waters  of 
No'ah  should  no  more  go  over 
the  earth ;  ''so  have  I  sworn  that 
I  would  not  be  wroth  with  thee, 
nor  rebuke  thee. 

10  For  the  mountains  shall  de- 
part, and  the  hills  be  removed; 
but  ''my  kindness  shall  not  de- 
part from  thee,  ''neither  shall  the 
''covenant  of  my  *peace  be  re- 
moved, saith  the  Lord  that  hath 
'mercy  on  thee. 

11  ^  O  thou  <^afflicted,  tossed 
with  tempest,  and  not  comforted, 
behold,  I  will  lay  thy  stones  with 
fair  colours,  and  lay  thy  founda- 
tions with  ''"sajiphires. 

12  And  I  will  make  thy  "^win- 
dows of  '*' ^agates,  and  thy  gates 
of  *' ''carbuncles,  and  all  thy 
borders  of  pleasant  stones. 

13  And  '"all  thy  children  shall  he 
■'■  "taught  of  the  Lord;  and  great 
shall  />r;the*peace  of  thy  children. 

14  ^In  righteousness  shalt  thou 
be  established:  thou  shalt  be  far 
from  (>|)[)ression;  for  thou  shalt 
not  fear:  and  from  terror;  for  it 
shall  not  come  near  thee.

CHAPTER  55 

A  gracious  invitation  to  accept  God's  abun- 
dant mercy  in  the  Messiah.  10  God's 
word  shall  prosper. 

HO,  every  one  that  "thirsteth, 
*come  ye  to  the  ''■''waters, 
and  he  that  hath  no  money; 
''come  ye,  buy,  and  eat;  yea, 
come,  buy  ^wine  and  ^milk  with- 
out money  and  without  price. 

2  Wherefore  do  ye  spend  money 
for  that  which  is  not  bread  ?  and 
your  labour  for  that  ivhich  sat- 
isfieth  not  ?  hearken  ''diligently 
unto  me,  and  eat  ye  that  lohich  is 
good,  and  let  your  soul  'delight 
itself  in  fatness. 

3  Incline  your  ear,  and  come 
unto  me:  hear,  and  your  soul 
shall  live;  and  I  ^will  make  an 
everlasting  ''"covenant  with  you, 
even  ^the  sure  mercies  of  Da'vid. 

4  Behold,  I  have  given  '"him 
for  "a  witness  to  the  ^people,  "a 
leader  and  commander  to  the 
people. 

5  Behold,  "•''thou  shalt  call  a 
^nation  thai  thou  knowest  not, 
and  'nations  that  knew  not  thee 
shall  run  unto  thee  because  of 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  for  the 
Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el;  for  he  liath 
glorified  thee. 


6  Tf  *''''*Seekye  the  Lord 'while 
he  may  be  found,  call  ye  upon 
him  while  he  is  near: 

7  "Let  the  wicked  forsake  his 
way,  and  the  unrighteous  man 
his  thoughts:  and  ''let  him  re- 
turn unto  the  Lord,  and  he  will 
have  'mercy  upon  him;  and  to 
our  God,  for  "he  will  abundantly 
pardon. 

8  \  For  ^'"'my  thoughts  are 
not  your  thoughts,  neither  are 
your  wa}^s  my  ways,  saith  the 
Lord. 

9  For  as  the  heavens  are  higher 
than  the  earth,  so  are  my  ways 
higher  than  your  ways,  and  my 
thoughts  than  your  thoughts. 

10  •''For  as  the  ^rain  cometh 
down, and  the  snowfrom  heaven, 
and  returneth  not  thither,  but 
watereth  the  earth,  and  maketh 
it  bring  forth  and  bud,  that  it 
may  give  seed  to  the  sower,  and 
bread  to  the  eater: 

11  So  shall  my  ^word  be  that 
goeth  forth  out  of  my  mouth: 
it  shall  not  return  vmto  me 
void,  but  it  shall  accomplish 
that  which  I  please,  and  it  shall 
prosper  in  the  thing  whereto  I 
sent  it. 

12  For  "ye  shall  go  out  with 
''•''joy,  and  be  led  forth  with 
"•''peace:  the  mountains  and  the 
hills  shall  break  forth  before  you 
into  singing,  and  all  the  trees  of 
the  field  shall  clap  their  hands. 

13  Instead  of  the  "thorn  shall 
come  up  the  ""'fir  tree,  and  in- 
stead of  the  ''brier  shall  come  up 
the  "•''myrtle  tree:  and  it  shall  be 
to  the  Lord  for  a  name,  for  an 
everlasting  sign  that  shall  not  be

CHAPTER  56 

God's  salvation  is  near.  2  Blessings  prom- 
ised to  all  who  keep  the  Sabbath,  and  ob- 
serve his  covenant.  9  Israel  exposed  to 
judgments  for  the  sins  of  their  rulers. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord,  "•''Kec]) 
ye  jiulgment,  and  do  '^ju.s- 
tice:  for  my  ''salvation  is  near  to 
come,  and  my  ''righteousne-ss  to 
be  revealed. 

2  ^•^•"Bles.sed  is  the  man  ihaf 
doeth  this,  and  the  son  of  man 
ihat  layetli  hold  on  it;  that  keep- 
eth  the  *sabbath  from  ^polluting 
it,  and  keepeth  his  hand  from 
doing  any  evil. 

3  Tl  Neither  let  the  -son  of  the 
stranger,  that  hath  joined  him- 
self to  the  Lord,  speak,  say- 
ing, The  Lord  ^hath  utterly 
separated  me  from  his  people: 
neither  let  the  ^eunuch  say.  Be- 
hold, I  am  a  dry  tree. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto 
the  'eunuchs  that  keep  my  'sab- 
baths, and  choo.se  tJic  things  that 
please  me,  and  *take  hold  of  my 
covenant; 

5  Even  ''■''unto  'them  will  I  give 
in  mine  house  and  within  my 
walls  a  ■''place  and  a  name  better 
than  of  sons  and  of  daughters: 
"■■''I  will  give  tliem  an  everlasting 
name,  that  shall  not  be  cut  off. 

6  Also  the  "sons  of  the  stran- 
ger, that  join  them.selves  to  the 
Lord,  to  '^serve  him,  and  to 
'love  the  name  of  the  Lord,  to 
be  his  servants,  every  one  that 
keepeth  the  'sabbath  from  'pol- 
luting it,  and  ''taketh  hold  of  my 
covenant; 

7  Even  "them  will  I  bring  to  my 
holy  mountain,  and  make  them 
joyful  in  my  "'■"hous(!  of  "prayer: 
their  ''burnt  offerings  and  their 
sacrifices  shall  he  accepted  upon 
mine  altar;  for  "mine  house  shall 
!)e  called  an  hou.se  of  prayer  for 
all  ''people. 

8  The  Lord  God  which  gath- 
ereth  the  outcasts  of  Is'ra-el 
saith.  Yet  will  I  gather  ^others  to 


him,  beside  those  that  are  gath- 
ered unto  him. 

9  11  All  ye  beasts  of  the  field, 
come  to  devour,  yea,  all  ye  beasts 
in  the  forest. 

10  His  ^watchmen  arc  'blind: 
they  are  all  ignorant,  tliey  are  all 
dumb  "dogs,  they  cannot  bark; 
sleeping,  lying  down,  loving  to 
slumber. 

11  Yea,  Hhey  are  "greedy  dogs 
which  can  never  have  enough, 
and  they  are '"shepherds  that  can- 
not understand:  they  ^all  look  to 
their  own  way,  every  one  for  his 
gain,  from  his  quarter. 

12  Come  ye,  say  ^they,  I  will 
fetch  ^wine,  and  ^-^we  will  "fill 
ourselves  with  strong  drink;  and 
''•'to  morrow  shall  be  as  this  day, 
^^and  much  more  abundant.

CHAPTER  68 

The  prophet  is  commanded  to  shew  the  peo- 
ple their  sins.  3  M'hy  their  fasts  have 
been  unproflh.ble.  8  How  God's  favor  is 
to  be  obta  incd  1 3  The  reward,  of  keeping 
the  Sabbath. 

*/^RY  aloud,  s])are  not,  lift  up 
vJ  thy  voice  Hke  a  trumpet, 
and  shew  my  peojile  their  ''trans- 
gression, and  the  house  of  Ja'cob 
their  sins. 

2  Yet  "•''they  seek  me  daily, 
and  delight  to  know  my  ways,  as 
a  nation  that  did  righteousness, 
and  forsook  not  the  ordinance  of 
their  God:  they  ask  of  me  the 
ordinances  of  justice;  they  take 
delight  in  approaching  to  God. 

3  '^•''Wherefore  have  we  ''fasted, 
sai/  they,  and  thou  seest  not  ? 
ivherefore  have  we  afflicted  our 
soul,  and  thou  takest  no  knowl- 
edge ?  Behold,  ''in  the  day  of 
your  fast  ye  find  pleasure,  and 
exact  all  your  labours. 

4  Behold,  ye  "-^'ast  for  ^strife 
and  debate,  and  to  smite  with 
the  fist  of  wickedness:  ye  ^shall 
not  fast  as  ye  do  this-  day,  to  make 
your  voice  to  be  heard  on  high. 

5  '"Is  it  such  a  ''•''fast  that  I  have 
chosen  ?  a  day  for  a  man  to  af- 
flict his  soul  ?  Hs  it  to  bow  down 
his  head  as  a  "bulrush,  "^and  to 
spread  ''sackcloth  and  ^ashes  vn- 
der  himl  Avilt  thou  call  this  a 
fast,  and  an  acceptal)le  day  to 
the  Lord  ? 

G  /.v  not  this  the  fast  that  I 
have  chosen?  J'-^-'to  loose  the 
bands  of  wickedness,  ^''to  undo 
the  ^heavy  '"burdens,  and  '''to 
let  the  "oppressed  go  free,  and 
that  ye  break  every  yoke  ? 

7  I.s-it  not  Ho  "'"deal  thy  brciKl 
to  the  'hungiy,  and  that  thou 
''■''bring  the  '-^poor  that  are  cast 
out  to  thy  house  ?  when  thou 
seest  the 'naked,  that  thou  '^'cover 


him;  and  that  thou  hide  not 
thyself  from  'thine  own  flesh  ? 

8  H  "■^'•"'Then  shall  thy  ^light 
break  forth  as  the  morning,  and 
thine  health  shall  spring  forth

of  the  Lord  shall  be  thy  rere- 
ward.

Lord  shall  answer;  thou  .shalt

10  And  if  thou  "■"•'draw  out 
thy  soul  to  the  hungry,  and  sat-

shall  thy  ''light  rise  in  obscurity,

11  And  the  Lord  .shall  *guide 
thee  continually,  and  ^satisfy  thy 
soul  in  drought,  and  make  ^fat 
thy  bones:  and  thou  shalt  be  ^like 
a  'watered  garden,  and  ^like  a

CHAPTER  59 

The  iniquities  of  Israel  have  separated  them 
from  God.  3  Their  sins  specified.  9 
The  calamities  thus  brought  upon  them. 
16  Salvation  is  only  of  God.  20  His  cov- 
enant with  his  people. 

BEHOLD,  the  Lord's  "hand 
is  not  shortened,  that  it  can- 
not *save;  neitlier  his  ear  heavy, 
that  it  cannot  hear: 

2  But  your  ^iniquities  have  sep- 
arated between  you  and  your 
God,  and  your  sins  have  hid  his 
face  from  you,  that  '^he  will  not 
hear. 

3  For  ''your  hands  are  defiled 
with  blood,  and  your  fingers  with 
inif[uiry;  your  lips  have  spoken 
'•''lies, your  tongue  hath  muttered 
perversencss. 

4  *None  'calleth  for  ''justice, 
nor  any  pleadeth  for  Hruth:  they 
trust  in  vanity,  and  speak  '■  "lies ; 
they  'conceive  mischief,  and 
bring  forth  inicjuity. 

5  ''They  'hatch  ^cockatrice' 
eggs,  and  weave  the  'spider's 
web:  he  that  eateth  of  their  eggs 
dieth,  and  that  which  is  crushed 
breaketh  out  into  a  '"vij^er. 

6  Their  webs  shall  not  become 
garments,  neither  shall  they  cov- 
er themselves  with  their  works: 
''their  works  are  works  of  "inicj- 
uity,  and  the  act  of  violence  is 
in  their  hands. 

7  '■•"Their  feet  run  to  evil,  and 
they  make  haste  to  shed  inno- 
cent blood:  their  ^thoughts  arc 
thoughts  of  iniquity;  wasting  and 
destruction  are  in  their  paths. 

8  '^The  way  of  *• ''peace  they 
know  not;  and  there  is  no  judg- 
ment in  their  goings:  they  have 
made  them  crooked  paths:  who- 
soever goeth  therein  shall  not 
know   *• '■peace. 

9  *\  Therefore  is  judgment  far 
from  us,  neither  doth  justice 
overtake  us:  we  wait  for  light, 
but  behold  'obscurity ;  for  bright- 
ness, hut  we  walk  in  darkness. 

10  We  grope  for  the  wall  like 
the  blind,  and  we  grope  as  if  we 


had  no  eyes:  we  stumble  at  noon 
day  as  in  the  ~night;  we  are  in 
desolate  places  as  dead  raen. 

11  We  roar  all  like  'bears,  and 
mourn  sore  like  "doves:  we  look 
for  judgment,  but  there  is  none; 
for  salvation,  but  it  is  far  off 
from  us. 

1 2  For  ^'-'''our  transgressions  are 
multiplied  before  thee,  and  our 
•^sins  testify  against  us:  for  our 
transgressions  are  with  us;  and 
as  for  our  iniquities,  we  know 
them ; 

13  ^•^In  transgressing  and  ^ly- 
ing against  the  Lord,  and  ^'de- 
parting away  from  our  God, 
speaking  oppression  and  revolt, 
conceiving  and  uttering  from  the 
heart  words  of  ''■  ^'falsehood. 

14  ^And  judgment  is  turned 
away  backward,  and  ''justice 
standeth  afar  off:  for  ''truth  is 
fallen  in  the  street,  and  equity 
cannot  enter. 

15  Yea,  *truth  faileth;  and  he 
that  departeth  from  evil  maketli 
himself  a  prey:  and  the  Lord 
saw  it,  and  it  "displeased  him 
that  there  was  '^no  judgment. 

IG  ^  And  he  saw  that  there  was 
no  man,  and  wondered  that  there 
was  no  intercessor:  therefore  his 
arm  brought  salvation  unto  him; 
and  his  'righteousness,  it  sus- 
tained  him. 

17  For  he  put  on  '^righteousness 
as  a  ''breastplate,  and  an  ^helmet 
of  salvation  upon  his  head;  and 
he  put  on  the  garments  of  ven- 
geance for  clothing,  and  was  clad 
with  zeal  as  a  cloke. 

18  ''According  to  their  deeds, 
accordingly  he  will  repay,  '^fury 
to  his  adversaries,  recompence  to 
his  enemies;  to  the  islands  he 
will   repay   recompence. 

19  So  shall  they  'fear  the  name 
of  the  Lord  from  the  west,  and 
his  glory  from  the  rising  of  the 
sun.  ^Wheii  the  enemy  shall 
come  in  like  a  flood,  the  Spirit  of

and  the  opening  of  the  prison  to 
them  that  are  bound; 

2  *To  proclaim  'the  'acceptable 
year  of  the  Lord,  and  the  day  of 
vengeance  of  our  God;  ^to  com- 
fort all  that  mourn; 

3  ^•'"•'^To  appoint  unto  them 
that  mourn  in  Zi'on,  ^to  give  un- 
to them  ^beauty  for  ashes,  the 
oil  of  "joy  for  mourning,  the 
garment  of  Upraise  for  the  spirit 
of  heaviness;  that  they  might  be 
called  *trees  of  righteousness, 
the  planting  of  the  Lord,  that 
'^he  might  be  glorified. 

4^  And  they  shall  build  the 
old  wastes,  they  shall  raise  up 
the  former  desolations,  and  they 
shall  repair  the  waste  cities,  the 
desolations  of  many  generations. 

5  And  strangers  shall  stand 
and  feed  your  flocks,  and  the 
sons  of  the  alien  shall  be  your 
plowmen  and  your  vinedressers. 

6  But  ye  shall  be  named  the

call  you  the  'Ministers  of  our

CHAPTER  64 

The  prayer  of  God's  people  for  aid;  6  with 
confession  of  their  unworthiness.  9  The 
desolation  of  Zion. 

"■*AH  that  thou  wonkiest  rend 
yj  the  heaveii.s,  that  thou 
wouldest  come  down,  that  the 
mountains  might  flow  down  at 
thy  presence, 

2  As  %vhen  Hhe  melting  fire 
burneth,  the  fire  causeth  the 
waters  to  boil,  to  make  thy  name 
known  to  thine  adversaries, 
'^that  tlie  nations  may  tremble  at 
thy  presence  ! 

3  When  thou  didst  terrible 
things  which  we  looked  not  for, 
thou  camestdown,  the  mountains 
flowed  down  at  thy  presence. 

4  For  ^since  the  beginnino;  of 
the  world  Tnen  have  not  heard, 
nor  perceived  by  the  ear,  neither 
hath  the  eye  seen,  O  ''God,  be- 
side thee,  what  he  hath  prepared 
for  *him  that  waiteth  for  him. 

5  *Thou  meetest  him  that  re- 
joiceth  and  worketh  righteous- 
ness, those  that  remember  thee 
in  thy  ways:  behold,  thou  ^art 
^vroth;  for  ''we  have  sinned:  in 
tliose  is  continuance,  and  we 
shall  be  saved. 

6  "'^But  "we  are  all  *as  an  un- 
clean thing,  and  all  ''our  right- 
eousnesses are  as  ^filtliy  *rags; 
and  we  all  'do  fade  as  a  leaf; 
and  our  iniquities,  like  the  wind, 
have  taken  us  away. 

7  "'''And  there  is  ''^none  that  call- 
cth  upon  thy  name,  that  stirreth 
up  him.self  to  take  hold  of  thee: 
for  thou  hast  hid  thy  face  from 
us,  and  hast  'consumed  us,  "l)e- 
causc  of  our  '"iniciuitics. 

8  But  now,  O  Lord,  thou  art 
our  "father;  we  are  the  "clay,  and 


thou  our  Spotter;  and  ^we  all  are 
the  work  of  '^thy  hand. 

9  "■''Be  not  wroth  very  sore,  O 
Lord,  neither  remember  iniq- 
uity for  ever:  behold,  see,  we  be- 
seech thee,  we  are  all  thy  people. 

10  Thy  holy  cities  are  a  wilder- 
ness, Zl'6n  is  a  wilderness,  *Je- 
ru'sa-lem  a  desolation. 

11  Our  holy  and  our  beauti- 
ful '-"house,  where  our  fathers 
praised  thee,  is  burned  up  with 
fire:  and  all  our  jileasant  things 
are  laid  waste. 

12  "•"•nVilt  thou  refrain  thyself 
for  these  things,  O  Lord?  wilt 
thou  hold  thy  peace,  and  afflict 
us  very  sore  ?

for  their  rebellious  spirit.  8  A  remnant

am  holier  than  thou.  "These  are 
a  smoke  in  my  nose,  a  fire  that 
burneth  all  the  day. 

6  Behold,  it  is  written  before 
me:  I  will  not  keep  silence,  but 
will  recompense,  even  recom- 
pense "into  their  bosom, 

7  ^Your  ^iniquities,  and  "the 
iniquities  of  your  fathers  to- 
gether, saith  the  Lord,  which 
have  ''burned  ''incense  upon  the 
''mountains,  and  ^blasphemed 
me  upon  the  hills:  therefore  will 
I  measure  their  former  work  into 
their  bosom. 

8  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  As 
the  new  wine  is  found  in  the 
cluster,  and  one  saith,  Destroy  it 
not;  for  a  blessing  is  in  it:  so 
will  I  do  for  my  servants'  sakes, 
that  I  may  not  destroy  them 
all. 

9  And  I  will  bring  forth  a  seed 
out  of  Ja'cob,  and  out  of  Ju'- 
dah  an  inheritor  of  my  moun- 
tains: and  mine  'elect  shall  in- 
herit it,  and  my  'servants  shall 
dwell  there. 

10  And  "Shar'on  shall  be  a  fold 
of  flocks,  and  the  valley  of  "An- 
chor a  place  for  the  herds  to  lie 
down  in,  for  my  people  that  have 
sought  me. 

11  ^  But  ye  are  they  that  "'for- 
sake the  Lord,  that  forget  my 
holy  mountain,  that  prepare  a 
table  for  ^that  troop,  and  that 
'furnish  the  drink  offering  unto 
that  number. 

12  ^Therefore  will  I  number 
•^you  to  the  ^•^' "sword,  and  ye 
shall  all  bow  down  to  the  slau^h- 
ter:  because  w^hen  I  called,  ye 
''•''did  not  answer;  when  I  spake, 
ye  did  not  hear;  but  did  evil  be- 
fore mine  eyes,  and  did  choose 
that  wherein  I  delighted  not. 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  Behold,  '^•^my  serv- 
ants shall  eat,  'but  ye  shall  be 
hungry:  behold,  ''•'^my  servants 
shall    drink,    ''but   ye    shall    be 


thirsty:  behold,  '^'"my  servants 
shall  rejoice,  '^but  ye  shall  be 
ashamed : 

14  Behold,  '^•^my  servants  shall 
sing  for  ''joy  of  heart,  ''but  ye 
shall  cry  for  sorrow  of  heart, 
and  shall  how)  for  vexation  of 
spirit. 

15  And  ye  shall  leave  your 
name  for  a  curse  unto  my 
chosen:  for  the  Lord  God  shall 
slay  thee,  and  call  his  servants 
by  another  name: 

16  That  he  who  blesseth  him- 
self in  the  earth  shall  bless  him- 
self in  the  God  of  ''truth;  and 
he  that  sweareth  in  the  earth 
shall  swear  by  the  God  of  truth ; 
because  the  former  troubles  are 
forgotten,  and  because  they  are 
hid  from  mine  eyes. 

17  ^  For,  behold,  ^'^I  create 
''•'new  heavens  and  a  ''^•'"new 
earth:  and  the  former  shall  not 
be  remembered,  nor  come  into 
mind. 

18  But  '^•^be  ye  glad  and  rejoice 
for  ever  in  that  which  I  create: 
for,  behold,  I  create  Je-ri/sa- 
lem  a  rejoicing,  and  her  people 
a  joy. 

19  And*'^'''^!  will  rejoice  in  Je- 
ru's?i-lem,  and  joy  in  my  people: 
and  the  voice  of  weeping  shall  be 
no  more  heard  in  her,  nor  the 
voice  of  crying, 

20  ^'■'There  shall  be  no  more 
thence  an  infant  of  days,  nor  an 
old  man  that  hath  not  filled  his 
days:  for  the  child  shall  die  "an 
hundred  years  old;  but  the  sin- 
ner being  an  hundred  years  old 
shall  be  accursed. 

21  *'?And  they  shall  build 
houses,  and  inhabit  them;  and 
they  shall  plant  vineyards,  and 
eat  the  fruit  of  them. 

22  ^'^They  shall  not  build,  and

and  dust  sliall  be  the  ^'serpent's 
"meat.  They  shall  not  hurt  nor 
destroy  in  all  my  holy  mountain, 
saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  66 

God  delights  in  the  contrite  spirit;  but  rejects 
hypocrisy.  5  Comfort  and  enlargement 
promised  to  Zion.  10  .471  exhortation  to 
rejoice  therein.  15  The  enemies  of  Zion 
to  be  destroyed.  19  The  message  of  sal- 
vation to  be  sent  to  all  nations,  and  the 
fruits  thereof.  24  The  fearful  end  of 
transgressors. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord,  '^The 
^heaven  is  my  "^throne,  and 
the'^earth  is  my  ^footstool:  where 
is  the  house  that  ye  build  unto 
me  ?  and  where  is  the  place  of 
my  rest? 

2  For  all  those  things  hath 
''mine  hand  made,  and  all  those 
things  have  been,  saith  the 
Lord:  but  to  this  man  "will  I 
look,  even  to  him  that  is  ''-^poor 
and  *of  a  contrite  spirit,  and 
'trembleth  at  my  word. 

3  'He  that  killeth  an  ox  is  as  if 
he  slew  a  man ;  he  that  sacrificeth 
a  lamb,  as  if  he  cut  off  a  dog's 
neck;  he  that  off  ere  th  an  obla- 
tion, as  if  he  offered  *swinc's 
blood;  he  that  burneth  incense, 
as  if  he  blessed  an  idol.  Yea, 
they  have  chosen  their  own  ways, 
and  their  soul  delighteth  in  their 
abominations. 

4  I  also  will  choose  their  delu- 
sions, and  will  bring  their  fears 
upon  them;  because  when  I 
called,  '"none  did  answer;  when 


I  spake,  "'they  did  not  hear:  but 
'"they  did  evil  before  mine  eyes, 
and  chose  that  in  which  I  de- 
lighted not. 

5  ^f  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
ye  that  tremble  at  his  word; 
Your  brethren  that  hated  you, 
that  "^cast  you  out  for  my  name's 
sake,  said,  Let  the  Lord  be 
glorified:  ^but  he  shall  appear 
to  your  joy,  and  they  shall  be 
ashamed. 

6  A  voice  of  noise  from  the  city, 
a  voice  from  the  "temple,  a  voice 
of  the  Lord  that  rendereth  rec- 
ompence  to  his  enemies. 

7  Before  she  travailed,  she 
brought  forth;  before  her  pain 
came,  she  was  delivered  of  a 
man  child. 

8  Who  hath  heard  such  a  thing? 
who  hath  seen  such  things  ?  Shall 
^the  earth  be  made  to  bring  forth 
in  one  day?  or  shall  a  nation  be 
born  at  once?  for  as  soon  as 
''•^Zi'on  travailed,  she  brought 
forth  her  children. 

9  Shall  I  bring  to  the  birth,  and 
not  cause  to  bring  forth  ?  saith 
the  Lord:  shall  I  cause  to  bring 
forth,  and  shut  the  womb  ?  saith 
thy  God. 

10  Rejoice  ye  with  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  be  glad  with  her,  all  ye  that 
'^love  her:  rejoice  for  *joy  with 
her,  all  ye  that  mourn  for  her: 

11  That  ye  may  suck,  and  be 
satisfied  with  the  breasts  of  her 
consolations;  that  ye  may  milk 
out,  and  be  delighted  with  the 
abundance   of  her  glory. 

12  For  thus  ''■''saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  extend  peace  to 
her  like  a  river,  and  the  glory 
of  the  ^Gen'tlle.s  like  a  flowing 
stream:  then  shall  ye  suck,  ye 
shall  be  borne  upon  her  sides, 
and  be  dandled  upon  her  knees. 

13  As  one  whom  his  'mother 
comforteth,  ''-"so  will  I  comfort 
"'you;  and  ye  shall  be  comforted 
in  Je-rii'sa-lem.

14  And  when  ye  see  this,  your 
heart  shall  rejoice,  and  your 
bones  shall  flourish  like  %n 
herb:  and  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  known  toward  his  serv- 
ants, and  his  indignation  toward 
his  enemies. 

15  For,  behold,  the  Lord  will 
come  with  fire,  and  with  his 
^chariots  like  a  whirlwind,  to 
render  his  ^anger  with  fury,  and 
his  rebuke  with  flames  of  fire. 

16  For  by  fire  and  by  his  ^sword 
will  the  Lord  plead  with  all 
flesh:  and  the  slain  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  many. 

17  "They  that  sanctify  them- 
selves, and  purify  themselves 
''•''in  the  gardens  behind  one  tree 
in  the  midst,  eating  ''swine's 
flesh,  and  the  abomination,  and 
the  '^mouse,  ''shall  be  consumed 
together,  saitli  the  Lord. 

18  For  I  ^knnio  their  works 
and  their  ^thoughts:  it  sliall 
come,  that  ''•'I  will  gather  all 
'nations  and  tongues;  and  they 
shall  come,  and  see  my  '^glory. 

19  ''•'^And  I  will  set  a  sign 
among  them,  and  I  will  send 
those  that  escape  of  them  unto 
the  nations,  to  'Tar'shish,  Pul, 
and  Lud,  that  draw  the  bow,  to 
Tu'bal,  and  Ja'van,  to  the  isles 
afar  off,   that  have    not   heard 


my  fame,  neither  have  seen  my 
^'glory;  and  they  shall  declare 
my  glory  among  the  ^'-'Gen'tlles. 

20  And  ''■Hhey  shall  bring  all 
your  brethren  jar  an  offering  un- 
to the  Lord  out  of  all  nations 
upon  horses,  and  in  chariots,  and 
in  litters,  and  upon  mules,  and 
upon  swift  beasts,  to  my  holy 
mountain  Je-rij'sa-lem,  saith  the 
Lord,  as  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
bring  an  '"offering  in  a  clean 
vessel  into  the  "house  of  the 
Lord. 

21  And  I  will  also  take  of  them 
for  "priests  and  for  ^Le'vltes, 
saith  the  Lord. 

22  For  as  the  'new  heavens 
and  the  new  ''earth,  which  I  will 
make,  shall  remain  before  me, 
saith  the  Lord,  so  shall  your 
seed  and  your  name  remain. 

23  And  '^■^t  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  from  one  *new  moon  to  an- 
other, and  from  one  'sabbath  to 
another,  shall  all  flesh  come  to 
"worship  before  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

24  And  they  shall  go  forth,  and 
look  upon  the  carcases  of  the  men 
tliat  have  transgressed  against 
me:  for  "their  "'worm  shall  not 
die,  neither  shall  their  fire  be 
quenched;  and  they  shall  be  an 
abhorring  unto  all  flesh.

CHAPTER  1 

The  calling  of  Jeremiah  to  the  prophetic 
office.  7  His  preparation  for  the  work. 
11  Two  visions  foreshoiving  speedy  judg- 
ments upon  Jerusalem.  17  God  encour- 
ages the  prophet  with  tlie  promise  of 
as'^istance. 

THE  words  of  *Jer-e-mT'ah 
the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  of  the 
"priests  that  were  in  ^An'a-thoth 
in  the  land  of  ''Ben'ja-min: 

2  To  *-''whoni  the  ''word  of  the 
Lord  *came  in  the  days  of  ''Jo- 
sl'ah  the  son  of  ''A'mon  king  of 
'' Ju'dah,  in  the  thirteenth  year  of 
liis  reign. 

3  It  came  also  in  the  days  of 
'Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of  ''Jo-sl'ah 
king  of  ''Ju'dah,  unto  the  end 
of  the  eleventh  year  of  ^Zed-e- 
kl'ah  the  son  of  J6-sI'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  unto  the  carrying  away 
of  *Je-ru'sa-lgm  ^captive  in  the 
fifth  '"month. 

4  T[  Then  the  ''word  of  the 
Lord  ^came  unto  ^•''ine,  say- 
ing, 

5  ^Before  I  formed  thee  in 
the  belly  I  knew  thee;  and  be- 
fore thou  camest  forth  out  of  the 
womb  I  "sanctified  thee,  and  I 
''•^ordained  thee  a  prophet  unto 
the  nations. 

6  Then  ''said  I,  Ah,  Lord  God  1 


behold,  *I  cannot  speak:  for  I 
am  a  'child. 

7  But  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Say  not,  I  am  a  child:  for  "thou 
shalt  go  to  all  that  I  shall  send 
thee,  and  "whatsoever  I  com- 
mand thee  thou  shalt  speak. 

8  '"Be  not  afraid  of  their  faces : 
for  ^'  ^I  am  ^with  thee  to  '^deliver 
thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

9  Then  the  Lord  ''put  forth  his 
hand,  and  touched  my  mouth. 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Behold,  I  have  ^jiut  my  words 
in  thy  mouth. 

10  See,  I  have  this  day  ''set  "thee 
over  the  nations  and  over  the 
ki-"gdoms,  to  root  out,  and  to 
])ull  down,  and  to  destroy,  and 
to  throw  down,  to  build,  and  to 
plant. 

11^  Moreover  the  ''word  of  the 
Lord  '^canie  unto  me,  saying, 
*  Jer-e-mi'ah,  what  ''seest  thou  ? 
And  I  said,  I  see  a  rod  of  an 
''•'almond  tree. 

12  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
me.  Thou  hast  well  seen:  for 
T  ^will  hasten  my  word  to  per- 
form it. 

13  And  the  %ord  of  the  Lord 
'^came  unto  me  the  second  time.

I  said,  I  see  a  ^-^seething  pot;  and 
the  face  thereof  is  toward  the 
north. 

14  Then  the  Lord  said  unto 
me,  Out  of  the  north  an  *evil 
shall  break  forth  upon  all  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land. 

15  For,  lo,  I  will  call  all  the 
families  of  the  kingdoms  of  the 
north,  saith  the  Lord;  and 
'■^they  shall  come,  and  they  shall 
set  every  one  his  throne  at  the 
entering  of  the  gates  of  '  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  against  all  the  walls 
thereof  round  about,  and  against 
all  the  cities  of  '"Ju'dah. 

16  And  I  will  utter  my  *judg- 
ments  against  them  touching  all 
their  "wickedness,  who  have  "for- 
saken me,  and  have  ^burned  *in- 
cense  unto  other  gods,  and  ^wor- 
shipped the  works  of  their  own 
hands. 


kindness  of  thy  youth,  the  ''love 
of  thine  espousals,  when  "thou 
wentest  after  me  in  the  ''wilder- 
ness, in  a  land  that  was  not  sown. 

3  Ls'ra-el  was  holiness  unto  the 
Lord,  and  the  ^flrstfruits  of  his 
increase:  all  that  devour  him 
shall  ^offend;  ^'evil  shall  come 
upon  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  ^  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  and 
all  the  families  of  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el: 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ^What 
iniquity  have  your  fathers  found 
in  me,  that  they  are  '"gone  far 
from  me,  and  have  walked  after 
vanity,  and  are  become  vain  ? 

6  '^Neither  said  they.  Where  is 
the  Lord  that  "brought  %s  up 
out  of  the  land  of  ^E'gypt,  that 
''led  us  through  the  wilderness, 
through  a  land  of  deserts  and  of 
pits,  through  a  land  of  drought, 


17  ^  Thou  therefore  gird  up  thy   and  of  the   shadow  of   death, 


loins,  and  arise,  and  s])eak  unto 
them  all  that  I  command  thee: 
''be  not  dismayed  at  their  faces, 
lest  I  confound  thee  before  them. 

IS  For,  beliold,  *I  have  made 
thee  this  day  a  defenced  city,  and 
an  iron  pillar,  and  brasen  walls 
against  the  whole  land,  against 
the  'kings  of  '"Ju'dah,  against 
the  princes  thereof,  against  the 
"priests  thereof,  and  against  the 
people  of  the  land. 

19  And  they  shall  "fght  against 
thee;  but  *they  shall  not  prevail 
against  thee;  for  I  am,  "'with  thc-e, 
saith  the  I^ord,  to  ^deliver  thee.

God's  former  kindness  to  Israel.  4  Their 
sin  in  forsaking  him.  14  The  calamities 
about  to  come  upon  them.  20  The  degen-

forgetfulness  of  God  rebuked. 

MOREOVER   the   "word   of 
the  Lord  *came  to  me, 
saying, 

2  '^Go  and  '^cry  in  the  ears  of 
^Je-r\i'sa-lem,  saying,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord;  I  remember  thee,  the 


through  a  land  that  no  man 
passed  through,  and  where  no 
man  dwelt  ? 

7  And  I  "brought  you  into  a 
plentiful  ''country,  to  *eat  the 
fruit  thereof  and  the  goodness 
thereof;  but  when  ye  entered,  ye 
defiled  my  land,  and  made  mine 
heritage  an  abomination. 

8'^The  priests  said  not,  Where  i? 
the  Lord  ?  and  'they  that  '^han- 
dle the  ^law  "'knew  me  not:  the 
^•^' ^pastors  also  transgressed 
against  me,  and  the  ^prophets 
prophesied  by  "Ba'al,  and  walk- 
ed after  things  that  do  not 
profit. 

9  ^  Wherefore  ^•''I  will  yet 
plead  with  you,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  with  your  children's  children 
will  I  plead. 

10  For  pass  over  the  isles  of 
'^Chit'tim,  and  see;  and  send  un- 
to ^Ke'dar,  and  consider  diM- 
gently,  and  see  if  there  be  such

I  go. 

26  As  the  ^thief  is  ashamed

27  '"Saying  to  a  stock,  Thou 
art  my  father;  and  to  a  stone.

they  have  "turned  their  back  un-

according  to  the  number  of  thy 
cities  are  thy  gods,  O  Ju'dah.

me  ?  ye  all  have  transgressed 
against  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

30  In  vain  have  I  ^•''smitten 
your  children;  they  ''•  ^'' 'received

31  11  O  generation,  see  ye 
the  word  of  the  Lord.  Have  I 
been  a  wilderness  unto  Ls'ra-el  ?

say  my  people.  We  are  ^lords; 
we  will  come  no  more  unto 
thee?

my  "'people  have  *"•  ■''forgotten  me 
days  without  number. 

33  Why  trimmest  thou  thy  way 
to  seek  love?  therefore  ^°hast  thou 
also  ^taught  the  wicked  ones  thy

34  Also  in  thy  skirts  is  found 
the   ^blood  of  the  souls  of  the 


"poor  innocents:  I  have  not 
found  it  by  secret  search,  but 
upon  all  these. 

35  Yet  thou  "■''sayest,  Becau.se 
I  am  innocent,  surely  his  '^anger 
shall  turn  from  me.  Behold,  I 
will  '^plead  with  thee,  because 
thou  "•''sayest,  I  have  not  sinned. 

36  Why  ^''^gaddest  thou  about 
so  much  to  change  thy  way  ? 
thou  also  shalt  be  ashamed  of 
E'gypt,  as  thou  wast  ashamed  of 
As-syrt-a. 

37  Yea,  thou  shalt  go  forth  from 
him,  and  thine  hands  upon  thine 
head:  for  the  Lord  hath  rejected 
thy  confidences,  and  thou  shalt 
not  prosper  in  them. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  greatness  of  Judali's  wickedness. 
6  Site  is  worse  than  Israel  uias.  12  The 
people  exhorted  to  repent  and  turn  unto 
the  Lord.  20  Their  confession  of  sin 
upon  their  return  to  him. 

THEY  say.  If  a  man  "put 
away  his  wife,  and  she  go 
from  him,  and  ''become  another 
man's,  shall  he  return  unto  her 
again  ?  shall  not  that  land  be 
greatly  polluted  ?  but  thou  hast 
'^■^'played  the  harlot  with  many 
lovers;  yet  ''•^return  again  to  me, 
saith  the  Lord. 

2  Lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  the 
4iigh  places,  and  see  where  thou 
hast  not  been  lien  with.  In  the 
ways  hast  thou  sat  for  them,  as 
the  A-ra'bi-an  in  the  wilderness; 
and  thou  hast  polluted  the  land 
with  thy  '^whoredoms  and  with 
thy  wickedness. 

3  Therefore  "the  ''showers  have 
been  withholden,  and  there  hath 
been  no  latter  rain;  and  thou 
hadst  a  whore's  forehead,  thou 
'^•'refusedst  to  be  ashamed. 

4  "'^W^ilt  thou  not  from  this 
time  cry  unto  me,  My  ^father, 
thou  art  the  'guide  of  my 
youth  ? 

5  Will  he  ^reserve  his  ^anger 
for  ever  ?  will  he  keep  it  to  the 
end  ?  Behold,  "thou  hast  spoken

and   done   evil   things  ''as   thou 
couldest. 

6  Tl  The  Lord  said  also  unto 
"me  in  the  days  of  ''Jo-sfah  the 
king,  Hast  thou  seen  that  which 
'"backsliding  Ls'ra-el  hath  done  ? 
she  is  gone  up  upon  every  high 
^mountain  and  under  every 
green  tree,  and  there  hath  'Splay- 
ed the  harlot. 

7  And  I  said  after  she  had  done 
all  these  things,  '^"'Turn  thou  un- 
to me.  But  she  ''returned  not. 
And  her  treacherous  sister  *Ju'- 
dah  saw  it. 

8  And  I  saw,  when  for  all  the 
causes  whereby  '^backsliding  I§'- 
ra-el  committed  adultery  I  had 
put  her  away,  and  given  her  a 
bill  of  'divorce;  yet  her  treacher- 
ous sister  Ju'dah  feared  not,  but 
went  and  played  the  harlot  also. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  through 
the  lightness  of  her  whoredom, 
that  she  defiled  the  land,  and 
committed  adultery  with  stones 
and  with  stocks. 

10  And  yet  for  all  this  her 
treacherous  sister  "Ju'dah  hath 
not  turned  unto  me  with  her 
whole*  ''heart,  but  ^feignedly, 
saith  the  Lord. 

11  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
"me,  The  "Ijacksliding  I.s'ra-el 
hath  ^justified  herself  more  than 
treacherous  *  Ju'dah. 

12  Go  and  proclaim  these 
words  toward  the  north,  and 
say,  'Return,  thou  '^backsliding 
Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord;  and  '"I 
will  not  cause  mine  '"anger  to 
fall  upon  you :  for  T  avi  ''merciful, 
saith  the  Lord,  and  I  will  not 
keep  anger  for  ever. 

13  Only  ^acknowledge  thine 
iniquity,  that  thou  hast  trans- 
gressed against  tlie  Lord  thy 
God,  and  hast  scattered  thy 
ways  to  the  strangers  underevery 
green  tree,  and  ye  have  %ot 
obeyed  my  voice,  saith  the 
Lord. 


14  Turn,  O  backsliding  chil- 
dren, saith  the  Lord;  for  ^J  am 
"married  unto  you:  and  I  will 
take  you  one  of  a  city,  and  two 
of  a  family,  and  I  will  bring  you 
to  Zi'on: 

15  And  I  will  give  you  ^pastors 
according  to  mino  heart,  which 
shall  feed  you  with  knowledge 
and  understanding. 

16  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  ye  be  multiplied  and  in- 
creased in  the  land,  in  ''those 
days,  saith  the  Lord,  they  shall 
say  no  more.  The  ''ark  of  die 
covenant  of  the  Lord:  neither 
shall  it  come  to  mind:  neither 
shall  they  remember  it;  neither 
shall  they  visit  it;  neither  shall 
that  be  done  any  more. 

17  At  "that  time  they  shall  call 
'^Je-rii'sa-lem  the  throne  of  the 
Lord;  and  all  the  ''nations  shall 
be  gathered  unto  it,  to  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  to  Je-ru's:l-lem : 
neither  shall  they  walk  any 
more  after  the  ^imagination  of 
their  evil  heart. 

18  ''In  tliose  days  the  house  of 
Ju'dah  shall  walk  with  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  shall  come 
together  out  of  the  land  of  the 
north  to  the  land  that  I  have 
given  for  an  inheritance  unto 
your  fathers. 

19  But  I  said.  How  shall  1 
put  thee  among  the  children, 
and  give  thee  a  pleasant  land,  a 
goodly  heritage  of  the  hosts  of 
nations  ?  and  I  said.  Thou  shalt 
call  me,  ''INIy  "father;  and  shalt 
not  turn  away  from  ^me. 

20  Surely  as  a  wife  treacher- 
ously departeth  from  her  hus- 
band, so  have  ye  ''dealt  treacher- 
ously with  me,  O  house  of  Is'- 
ra-el, saith  the  Lord. 

21  ^  A  voice  was  heard  upon 
the  ^high  places,  Veeping  and

of  Is'ra-el:  for  they  have  per-

this  people  and  Je-ni'sa-lem,  say- 
ing, Ye  shall  have  peace;  where- 
as the  sword  reacheth  unto  the

to  this  people  and  to  Je-rii'sa-

places  in  the  wilderness  toward 
the  daughter  of  my  people,  not

12  Eimi  a  full  wind  from  those 
places  shall  come  unto  me:  now 
also  will  I  give  stntence  against 
them. 

13  Behold,  he  shall  come  up  as 
clouds,  and  his  ''chariots  shall  be 
as  a  whirlwind:  his  Worses  are 
swifter  than  'eagles.  *Woe  unto 
us  !  for  we  are  spoiled.

20  ^Destruction  upon  destruc- 
tion is  crietl;  for  the  whole  land 
is  spoiled:  suddenly  are  my  tents 
spoiled,  and  my  curtains  in  a 
moment. 

21  How  long  shall  I  see  the 
'standard,  and  hear  the  sound  of 
the  ^trumpet  ? 

22  For  my  peo|)le  is  ^foolish, 
they  have  ^not  known  me;  they 
are  Sottish  children,  and  they 
^have  ^none  understanding:  they 
are  ^wise  to  do  evil,  but  to  do 
good  they  have  ^no  knowletlge. 

23  I  beheld  the  earth,  and,  lo,  H 
ivas  without  form,  and  void ;  and 
the  heavens,  and  they  had  no 
light. 

24 1  beheld  the  mountains,  and, 
lo,  they  ''trembled,  and  all  the 
hills  moved  ^lightly. 

25  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  there  was 
no  man,  and  all  the  birds  of  the 
heavens  were  fled. 

26  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  the  fruitful 
place  was  a  wilderness,  and  all 
the  cities  thereof  were  broken 
down  at  the  presence  of  the 
Lord,  and  4)y  his  fierce  *anger. 

27  For  thus  hath  die  Lord 
said,  ''The  whole  land  shall  be 
desolate;  yet  '^will  I  not  make  a 
full  end. 

28  For  this  shall  the  earth 
mourn,  and  the  heavens  above

CHAPTER  5 

God's  judgments  upon  Judnh  and  Israel  for 
their  injustice.  3  their  perverseness.  7  their 
adultery.  10  their  impiety.  19  their  con- 
tempt of  God.  25  their  oppression.  30  and 
the  falsehood  of  their  prophets  and  priests 

RUN  ye  to  and  fro  through  the 
streets  of  "  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
see  now,  and  know,  and  seek  in 
the  broad  places  thereof,  *if  ye 
can  find  a  man,  if  there  be  any 
that  ^executeth  judgment,  that 
seeketh  the  '"truth;  and  I  will 
''pardon  ^it. 

2  And  thougli  they  ^say,  The 
Lord  liveth;  surely  they  ^' "swear 
falsely. 

3  O  Lord,  '^are  not  thine  eyes 
upon  the  '"truth  ?  *thou  hast 
stricken  them,  ^but  they  *have 
not  grieved;  thou  hast  consumed 
them,  but  they  have  '■'"refused  to 
receive  correction:  they  have 
^rnade  their  faces  harder  than  a 
rock;  they  have  refused  to  re- 
turn. 

4  Therefore  I  said.  Surely 
"these  are  poor;  "they  are  fool- 
ish :  for  "they  "know  not  the  way 
of  the  Lord,  7ior  the  judgment 
of  their  God. 

5  I  will  get  me  unto  the  great 
men,  and  will  speak  unto  them; 
for  they  have  known  the  way  of 
the  IvORD,  and  the  judgment  of 
their  God:  but  these  have  alto- 


gether  broken    the    ^yoke,    and 
bvirst  the  bonds. 

6  'Wherefore  a  Hion  out  of  the 
forest  shall  slay  them,  and  a 
*wolf  of  the  evenings  shall  spoil 
them,  a  ^leopard  shall  watch  over 
their  cities:  every  one  that  goeth 
out  thence  shall  be  torn  in  pieces: 
because  their  transgressions  are 
many,  and  their  'backslidings  are 
increased. 

7  How  shall  I  pardon  thee  for 
this?  thy  children  have  ''"for- 
saken me,  and  sworn  by  them 
that  are  no  gods:  when  I  had 
^fed  them  to  the  full,  '"they  then 
^committed  adultery,  and  as- 
sembled themselves  by  troops  in 
the  harlots'  houses. 

8  '"They  were  as  fed  horses  in 
the  morning:  every  one  neighed 
after  his  neighbour's  wife. 

9  'Shall  I  not  ^visit  for  these 
things'^  saith  the  Lord:  and 
shall  not  my  soul  be  avenged 
on  such  a  nation  as  this? 

10  ^  Go  ye  up  upon  her  walls, 
and  ^destroy ;  "but  make  not  a  full 
end;  take  away  her  battlements; 
for  they  are  not  the  Lord's. 

11  For  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and 
the  house  of  Ju'dah  have  *dealt 
very  treacherously  against  me, 
saith  the  Lord. 

12  They  have^belied  the  Lord, 
and  '^•''•'^said,  It  is  not  he;  neither 
shall  ^evil  come  upon  us;  neither 
shall  we  see  ^sword  nor  ''famine : 

13  And  the  prophets  shall  be- 
come wind,  and  '^•''the  word  is 
not  in  them :  thus  shall  it  be  done 
unto  them. 

14  Wherefore  ''thus  saith  the 
TvORD  God  of  hosts.  Because  ye 
speak  this  word,  behold,  I  will 
make  my  words  in  thy  mouth 
fire,  and  this  people  wood,  and  it 
shall  '^devour  them. 

15  Lo,  "•''I  will  bring  a  nation 
upon  you  from  far,  O  house  of

miirhtv  nation,  it  is  an  ancient 
nation,  a  nation  whose  language 
thou  knowest  not,  neither  under- 
standest  what  they  say. 

IG  Their  quiver  is  as  an  'open 
sei)ulchre,  they  are  all  mighty 
men. 

17  And  ^•"•'they  shall  eat  up 
tliine  harvest,  and  thy  bread, 
ivhich  thy  sons  and  thy  daugli- 
tcrs  .should  eat:  Uiey  shall  eat  up 
thy  flocks  and  thine  herds:  they 
shall  eat  up  thy  vines  and  thy 
fig  trees:  they  shall  ^impoverish 
thy  fenced  cities,  wherein  thou 
^trustedst,  with  the  sword. 

18  Nevertheless  in  those  days, 
saith  the  Lord,  "1  will  not  make 
a  full  end  with  you. 

19  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  ye  shall  say,  Wherefore 
doeth  the  Lord  our  God  all 
these  things  unto  us  ?  then  shalt 
thou  answer  them,  Like  as  ye 
have  "forsaken  me,  and  '^served 
strange  gods  in  your  land,  ''•'^so 
shall  ye  serve  strangers  in  a  land 
that  is  not  your's. 

20  ^  Declare  this  in  the  house 
of  Ja'cob,  and  publish  it  in  Ju'- 
dah,  saying, 

21  Hear  now  this,  O  foolisli 
peoj)le,  and  without  understand- 
ing; whichhave  eyes,  and 'see  not; 
which  have  ears,  and  hear  not: 

22  "'Fear  ye  not  me  ?  saith  the 
Lord:  will  ye  not  tremble  at  my 
"presence,  which  have  placed 
the  sand  for  the  bound  of  the 
^sea  by  a  perpetual  decree,  that 
it  cannot  pass  it:  and  though  the 
waves  thereof  toss  themselves,  yet 
can  they  not  prevail;  though  they 
roar,  yet  can  they  not  pass  over  it  ? 

23  But  this  people  hath  a  re-

6  R.  V.  in  the 
street, 


of  "fire  in  ''Beth— hac'9e-rem :  for 
evil  appeared!  out  of  the  north, 
and  great  destruction. 

2  ^I  have  likened  the  daughter 
of  Zl'on  to  a  comely  and  delicate 

W077ia7l. 

3  The  shepherds  with  their 
flocks  shall  come  unto  her;  they 
shall  pitch  their  tents  against  her 
round  about;  they  shall  feed  ev- 
ery one  in  his  place. 

4  Prepare  ye  war  against  her; 
arise,  and  let  us  go  up  at  noon. 
Woe  unto  us  !  for  the  day  goetli 
away,  for  the  shadows  of  the 
evening  are  stretched  out. 

5  Arise,  and  let  us  *go  by  night, 
and  let  us  destroy  her  palaces. 

6  Tf  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  of 
hosts  '^said,  Hew  ye  down  trees, 
and  cast  a  •'mount  against  ''Je- 
rii'sa-lem:  this  is  the  city  to  be 
visited;  she  is  wholly  oppression 
in  the  midst  of  her. 

7  As  a  fountain  casteth  out  her 
waters,  so  she  casteth  out  her 
wickedness:  violence  and  spoil  is 
heard  in  her;  before  me  continu- 
ally is  ^grief  and  wounds. 

8  "-"Be  thou  instructed,  O  Je- 
rii'sa-lem,  lest  my  soul  '^depart 
from  thee;  lest  I  make  thee  deso- 
late, a  land  not  inhabited. 

9  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  ''^They  shall  throughly 
glean  the  remnant  of  Ls'ra-el 
as  a  vine:  turn  back  thine  hand 
as  a  grapegatherer  into  the 
baskets. 

10  To  whom  shall  I  speak,  and 
give  ^warning,  that  they  may 
hear?  behold,  their  ear  is  un- 
circumcised,  and  they  '■'"cannot 
hearken:  behold,  the  "word 
of  the  Lord  is  unto  them  a 
reproach;  they  have  no  delight 
in  it. 

11  Therefore  I  am  full  of  the 
fury  of  the  Lord;  I  am  weary 
with  holding  in:  ^I  will  pour  it 
out  upon  the  children  ^abroad, 
and  upon  the  assembly  of  young 


men  together:  for  even  the  hus- 
band with  the  wife  shall  be 
taken,  the  aged  with  him  that 
is  full  of  days. 

12  And  *their  houses  shall  be 
turned  unto  others,  with  their 
fields  and  wives  together:  for  I 
will  stretch  out  my  hand  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  saith 
the  Lord. 

13  For  from  the  least  of  them 
even  unto  the  greatest  of  them 
every  one  is  given  to  "covetous- 
ness;  and  from  the  ^prophet  even 
unto  the  Spriest  every  one  deal- 
eth  falsely. 

14  ^''They  have  healed  also  the 
hurt  "o/  the  daughter  of  my 
people  slightly,  ''saying,  *Peace, 
peace;  when  there  is  no  peace. 

15  Were  they  ashamed  when 
they  had  committed  abomina- 
tion ?  nay,  they  were  'not  at 
all  ashamed,  neither  could  they 
"blush:  therefore  ^they  shall  fall 
among  them  that  fall:  at  the  time 
that  I  visit  them  they  shall  be 
cast  down,  saith  the  Lord. 

16  Thus  "saith  the  Lord, 
Stand  ye  in  the  ways,  and  see, 
and  ask  for  the  old  paths,  where 
is  the  good  '"way,  and  walk 
therein,  and  ^ye  shall  find  ^rest 
for  your  souls.  But  they '"•^' "said, 
We  will  not  walk  therein. 

17  Also  I  set  ^watchmen  over 
you,  saying,  Hearken  to  the 
sound  of  the  "trumpet.  But  they 
"•'^said.  We  will  not  hearken. 

18  ^  Therefore  hear,  ye  na- 
tions, and  know,  O  congrega- 
tion, what  is  among  them. 

19  Hear,  O  earth:  behold,  'I 
will  bring  evil  upon  this  people, 
even  the  'fruit  of  their  thoughts, 
because  they  have  ''not  heark- 
ened unto  my  words,  nor  to  my 
law,  but  rejected  it. 

20  ^To  what  purpose  cometh 
there  to  me  *incense  from  'She'- 
ba,  and  the  ''^sweet  cane  from  a 
far  country  ?  your  burnt  'offer-

Their  trust  in  Uiing  words  rebuked. 
12  The  impending  ruin  likened  to  tluU  of 
ShUoli.  17  Tlic  idulatrti  of  the  people, 
and  their  punishment.  21  The  sacri- 
fices of  the  disobedient  rejected.  29  The 
abominations  of  the  land,  32  and  the 
Judgments  about  to  come  upon  it. 

THE  "word  diat  ''came  to  Mer- 
e-mi'ah   from   the    Lord, 
saying, 

2  Stand  in  the  gate  of  the 
''Lord's  house,  and  ^proclaim 
there  this  word,  and  say.  Hear 
the  ^vord  of  the  Lord,  all  ye  of 
''Ju'dah,  that  enter  in  at  these 
gates  to  ''worship  the  Lord. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Lj'ra-el,  *Amend  your 
ways  andyourdoiiigs,and''  '^I  will 
'cause  you  to  dwell  in  this  place. 

4  '"Trust  ye  not  in  ''lying  words, 
saying,  The  temple  of  the  Lord, 
The  temple  of  the  Lord,  The 
temple  of  the  Lord,  are  these. 

5  For  'if  ye  throughly  amend 
your  ways  and  your  doings;  '-"if

where  I  set  my  name  at  the  first, 
and  see  what  ^I  did  to  it  for  the 
^vickedness  of  my  people  Is'- 
ra-el. 

13  And  now,  because  ye  have 
done  all  these  works,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  **'I  *spake  unto  you, 
rising  up  early  and  speaking,  but 
ye  ^heard  not;  and  *''I  ''called

16  Therefore  ''pray  not  thou

voice,  and  I  will  be  your  God, 
and  ye  shall  be  ^my  people:  and 
^walk  ye  in  all  the  ways  that  I 
have  commanded  you,  that  it 
may  be  well  unto  you. 

24  But  they  ^'•^•^•''hearkened 
not,  nor  inclined  their  ear,  but 
walked  in  the  counsels  aiid  in  the 
imagination  of  their  evil  heart, 
and  went  backward,  and  not  for- 
ward. 

25  Since  the  day  that  your  '"fa-

of  ''E'gypt  unto  this  day  ^I  have

unto  me,  nor  inclined  their  ear,

did  worse  than  their  fathers. 

27  Therefore  thou  shalt  speak 
all  these  words  unto  them;  but 
Hhey  will  not  hearken  to  thee: 
thou  shalt  also  call  unto  them; 
but  they  will  not  answer  thee. 

28  But  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them,  This  is  a  nation  that 
"obeyeth  not  the  voice  of  the

have  done  evil  in  my  sight,  saith 
the  Lord:  they  have  set  their 
abominations  in  the  '"house 
which  is  called  by  my  name,  to 
"pollute  it. 

31  And  they  have  built  the

32  t  Therefore,  behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
it  shall  no  more  be  called  'To'- 
phet,  nor  the  valley  of  the  son 
of  ■'Hin'nom,  but  the  valley  of 
slaughter:  for  they  shall  'bury  in 
To'phet,  till  there  be  no  place. 

33  And  "the  carcases  of  this  peo- 
ple shall  be  meat  for  the  fowls

from  the  cities  of  "Ju'dah,  and 
from  the  streets  of  '^  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
the  voice  of  mirth,  and  the  voice

CHAPTER  8 

The  calamities  ahoul  to  come  upon  the  Jews 
4  on  account  of  their  perverse ness.  l.T 
Their  approaching  alarm  and  confusion 
described.  18  The  propliet  bewails  their 
desperate  condition. 

AT  that  time,  saith  the  Lord, 
they  shall  bring  out  the 
bones  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  and 
the  bones  of  his  princes,  and 
the  bones  of  the  priests,  and  the 
bones  of  the  prophets,  and  the 
bones  of  the  inhabitants  of  "Je- 
ni'sa-l6m,  out  of  their  ^graves: 
2  And  they  .shall  s]  )read  them  be- 


fore  the  '^•''sun,  and  the'^-^moon, 
and ''all  the  host  of  heaven,  whom 
''they  have  loved,  and  whom  they 
have  served,  and  after  whom  they 
have  walked,  antl  whom  they 
have  sought,and  whom  theyhave 
worshipped:  they  shall  not  be 
gathered,  nor  be  buried;  they 
shall  be  for  dung  upon  the  face 
of  the  earth. 

3  And  "-''death  shall  be  chosen 
rather  than  life  by  all  the  resi- 
due of  them  that  remain  of  this 
evil 'family,  which  remain  in  all 
the  places  whither  I  have  driven 
them,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

4  ^  Moreover  'thou  shalt  say 
unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Shall  they  fall,  and  not  arise  ? 
shall  he  turn  away,  and  not  re- 
turn ? 

5  Why  then  is  this  people  of 
"Je-ru's?i-leni  ^slidden  back  by  a 
perpetual  backsliding  ?  they  hold 
fast  ''^deceit,  they  ''"'refuse  to  re- 
turn. 

6  I  hearkened  and  heard,  but 
they  spake  not  aright:  '•'"no  man 
repented  him  of  his  wickedness, 
saying.  What  have  I  done  ?  "every 
one  turned  to  his  course,  as  the 
horse  rusheth  into  the  battle. 

7  Yea,  the  "stork  in  the  heaven 
knoweth  her  appointed  times; 
and  the ''turtle  and  the^crane  and 
the  ''swallow  observe  the  time  of 
their  ^coming;  but  my  people 
'know  not  the  ^judgment  of  the 
Lord. 

8  How  do  ye  "say.  We  are  wise, 
and  the  law  of  the  Lord  is-  with 
us  ?  ^Lo,  certainly  in  vain  made 
he  it;  the  *pen  of  the  "scribes  is 
in  vain. 

9  The  wise  men  are  ashamed, 
they  are  dismayed  and  taken:  lo, 
they  have  '•"'rejected  tlie  '^vord 
of  the  Lord;  and  what  wisdom 
is  in  them  ?

5  And  ^they  will  ''deceive  every 
one  his  neighbour,  and  will  *not 
speak  the  truth:  Hhey  have 
taught  their  tongue  to  speak  lies, 
and  weary  themselves  to  commit 
iniquity. 

6  Thine  habitation  is  in  the 
midst  of  deceit;  through  deceit 
they  ^•''refuse  to  know  me,  saith 
the  Lord. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  Behold,  *I  will 
melt  'them,  and  ^try  them;  for 
how  shall  I  do  for  the  daughter 
of  my  people  ? 

8  Their  tongue  is  as  ^an  "arrow 
shot  out;  it  speaketh  deceit:  o/ic 
speaketh  peaceably  to  his  neigh- 
l)our  with  his  mouth,  '"but  in 
heart  -^he  layeth  ^his  wait. 

9  t  Shall  I  not  ^'isit  them  for 
these  Hiingsl  saith  the  Lord: 
shall  not  my  soul  be  avenged  on 
such  a  *• 'nation  as  this? 

10  For  the  mountains  will  I 
take  up  a  weeping  and  wailing, 
and  for  the  *hal)itations  of  the 
wilderness  a  lamentation,  be- 
cause they  are  burned  uj),  so 
that  none  can  pass  through  them; 
neither  can  men  hear  the  voice  of 
the  cattle;  both  the  fowl  of  the 
heavens  and  the  beast  are  fled; 
they  are  gone. 

11  And  'I  will  make  Me-rii'sa- 
lem  heaj)s,  '^and  a  den  of  drag- 
ons; and  I  will  make  the  cities  of 
Mu'dah  desolate,  without  an  in- 
habitant. 

12  Tf  Who  is  the  wise  man,  that 
may  understand  this?  and  wJro 
is  he  to  whom  th(!  mouth  of  the 
Lord  hath  spoken,  that  he  may 
declare  it,  for  what  tlu;  land  per- 
isheth  and  is  burned  up  like 
a  wilderness,  that  none  passeth 
through  ? 

13  And  the  Lord  saith.  Be- 
cause they  have  forsaken  my 
law    which   I   set  before   them. 


and  have  "not  obeyed  my  voice, 
neither  walked  therein; 

14  But  have  walked  after 
the  "■  "imagination  of  their  own 
heart,  and  ""after  Ba'al-im,  which 
their  fatliers  ''taught  them: 

15  Tlierefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el;  Behold,  ''I  will  feed  ^them, 
even  this  people,  with  ''worm- 
wood, and  give  them  water  of 
''gall  to  drink. 

16  ^I  will  ^scatter  ''them  also 
among  the  ^heathen,  whom 
neither  they  nor  their  fathers 
have  known:  and  I  will  send 
a  ^sword  after  them,  till  I  have 
consumed  them. 

17  H  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts.  Consider  ye,  and  call  for 
the  mourning  women,  that  they 
may  come;  and  send  for  cunning 
women,  that  they  may  come: 

18  And  let  them  make  haste, 
and  take  up  a  wailing  for  us, 
that  our  eyes  may  run  down  with 
tears,  and  our  eyelids  gush  out 
with  waters. 

19  For  a  voice  of  wailing  is 
heard  out  of  ^Zl'on,  How  are 
we  s})oiledl  we  are  greatly  con- 
founded, because  we  have  for- 
saken the  land,  because  ^our 
dwellings  have  cast  us  out. 

20  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  O  ye  women,  and  let 
your  ear  receive  the  word  of  his 
mouth,  and  teach  your  daughters 
wailing,  and  every  one  her  neigh- 
bour lamentation. 

21  'For  death  is  come  up  into 
our  windows,  and  is  entered  into 
our  palaces,  to  cut  off  the  chil- 
dren from  without,  a7id  the 
young  men  from  the  streets. 

22  SjK'ak,  Thus  saith  the  I>0RD, 
Even  the  carcases  of  men  shall 
fall  as  dung  upon  the  open  field, 
and  as  the  handful  after  the 
harvestman,  and  none  shall 
gather  tliem.

CHAPTER  10 

Ttie  people  learned  not  to  learn  the  way  of 
the  heathen.  17  The  clesolations  about 
to  come  upon  the  land.  23  The  prayer 
of  the  prophet. 

HEAR  ye  the  word  which  the 
Lord  "speaketh  unto  you, 
O  house  of  Is'ra-el: 

2  Thus  ''saith  the  Lord,  Learn 
not  the  way  of  the  ^heathen,  and 
be  not  dismayed  at  the  signs  of 
heaven;  for  the  heathen  are  dis- 
mayed at  them. 

3  For  *the  customs  of  the  "peo- 
ple are  vain:  for  one  cutteth  a 
tree  out  of  the  forest,  the  work 
of  the  hands  of  the  workman, 
with  the  ax. 

4  ''They  deck  it  with  "^silver  and 
with  ''gold;  they  fasten  it  with 
''nails  and  with  hammers,  that  it 
move  not. 

5  *They  are  Hip  right  as  the 
palm  tree,  but  speak  not:  they 
must  needs  be  borne,  because 
they  cannot  go.  *Be  not  afraid  of 
them;  for  they  cannot  do  evil, 
neither  also  is  it  in  them  to  do 
good. 


6  Forasmuch  as  there  is  none 
like  unto  thee,  O  Lord;  thou 
art  great,  and  thy  name  is  great 
in  ^might. 

7  Who  would  not  "fear  thee, 
O  King  of  nations  ?  for  to  thee 
doth  it  appertain:  forasmuch  as 
among  all  the  wise  m,cn  of  the 
nations,  and  in  all  their  king- 
doms, there  is  none  like  unto 
thee. 

8  But  they  are  altogether  bru- 
tish and  foolish :  ''the  *stock  is  a 
doctrine  of  vanities. 

9  "^Silver  s})read  into  plates  is 
''brought  from  ^Tar'shish,  and 
''gold  from  ^U'phS,z,  the  work  of 
the  workman,  and  of  the  hands 
of  the  ^f(Hmder:  ^blue  and  ^"pur- 
ple is  their  clothing:  they  are  all 
the  work  of  cunning  me7i. 

10  But  the  Lord  is  the  true 
God,  he  is  the  'living  God,  and 
an  '"everlasting  "king:  at  his 
'^wrath  the  earth  shall  tremble, 
and  the  nations  shall  not  be  able 
to  abide  his  indignation. 

11  Thus  shall  ye  ^say  unto 
them.  The  gods  that  have  not 
made  the  heavens  and  the  earth, 
even  they  shall  perish  from  the 
earth,  and  from  under  these 
heavens. 

12  ^•'^He  hath  ^''made  the  "earth 
by  his  ^power,  he  hath  *estab- 
lished  the  world  by  his  ^wis- 
dom, and  hath  'stretched  out 
the  '"heavens  by  his  discretion. 

13  When  ''he  uttereth  his  voice, 
there  is  a  multitude  of  waters  in 
the  heavens,  and  ^-^e  causeth 
the  ^vapours  to  ascend  from  the 
ends  of  the  earth;  he  maketh 
"lightnings  with  ''rain,  and  bring- 
eth  forth  the  wind  out  of  his 
^treasures. 

14  Every  man  is  'brutish  in  his 
knowledge:  every  founder  is  con- 
founded by  the  graven  image: 
''for  his  molten  image  is  false- 
hood, and  there  is  no  breath  in 
them.

their  visitation  ''they  shall  perish. 

IG  The  portion  of  Ja-cob  is  not 
like  them:  for  he  is  the  ''former 
of  all  things;  and  Ls'ra-el  is  the 
^rod  of  his  inheritance:  The 
Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

17  ^  Gather  up  thy  wares  out 
of  the  land,  O  ^"inhabitant  of 
the  fortress. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  ''•"I  will  sling  out  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land  at  this 
once,  and  will  distress  them,  that 
they  may  find  it  so. 

19  ^  '^Woe  is  me  for  my  hurt! 
my  w^ound  is  grievous:  but  I  said, 
Truly  this  is  a  grief,  and  T  must 
bear  it.

and  all  my  cords  are  broken :  my 
children  are  gone  forth  of  me, 
and  they  are  not :  there  is  none  to 
stretch  forth  my  tent  any  more, 
and  to  set  up  my  curtains. 

21  For  the  "•'•^'pastors  are  be-

and  upon  the  families  that  'call 
not  on  thy  name:  for  they  have

him,  and  consumed  him,  and 
have  made  his  habitation  deso- 
late. 


CHAPTER  11 

God  reminds  tlie  people  of  his  covenant,  8 
and  rebukes  their  rtolalions  of  it.  11 
Their  punishment  foretold.  18  A  con- 
spiracy auaiiist  Jeremiah. 

THE    word    that   "-^came   to 
'^Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 
saying, 

2  Hear  ye  the  words  of  this 
''covenant,  and  speak  unto  the 
"men  of  Ju'dah,  and  to  the  *in- 
habitants  of  ''Je-ni'sa-lem; 

3  And  say  thou  unto  tliem. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
I§'ra-el;  "Cursed  he  the  man  that 
obeyeth  not  the  '^words  of  this 
covenant, 

4  ''Which  I  commanded  your 
fathers  in  the  day  that  T  brought 
them  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
•'K'gvpt,  from  the  iron  ^'furnace, 
saying,  'Obey  my  voice,  and  do 
''them,  according  to  all  which  I 
command  you:  '"■"so  shall  "ye  be 
my  people,  and  I  will  be  your 
God: 

5  That  I  may  perform  the  ''oath 
which  I  have  sworn  unto  your 
fathers,  to  give  them  a  'land 
flowing  with  ''milk  and  *honey, 
as  it  is  this  day.  Then  an.swered 
I,  and  said,  So  be  it,  O  Lord. 

6  Then  the  Lord  said  unto 
me.  Proclaim  all  these  words  in 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the 
streets  of  ''Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying, 
Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  cove- 
nant, and  'do  them. 

7  For  'I  earnestly  protested  un- 
to your  fathers  in  the  day  that  I 
brought  them  up  out  of  the  land 
of  'E'gypt,  even  unto  this  day, 
rising  early  and  protesting,  'say- 
ing. Obey  my  voice. 

8  Yet  they  "obeyed  not,  nor  in- 
clined their  ear,  but  "walked  every 
one  in  the  ''"'•  ^imagination  of 
their  evil  heart:  therefore  I  will 
bring  uj>on  ''them  all  the  words 
oi  this  covenant,  which  I  com- 
manded them  to  do;  but  they  did 
them  not.

k  Backsliding,  of 
Israel,  Hos.  11:7. 


A  ^conspiracy  is  found  among 
the  '^men  of  Ju'dah,  and  among 
the  ''inhabitants  of  ^Je-ni'sa-lem. 

10  They  are  turned  back  to  the 
iniquities  of  their  ^forefathers, 
which  refused  to  liear  my  words ; 
and  they  "went  after  other  gods 
to  serve  them:  the  house  of  I.s'- 
ra-el  and  the  house  of  Ju'dah 
have  broken  my  covenant  which 
I  made  with  their  fathers. 

11  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
[vORD,  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil 
upon  them,  which  they  ''shall  not 
be  able  to  escape;  and  though 
they  shall  cry  unto  me,  '^I  will 
not  hearken  unto  them. 

12  Then  shall  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah and  inhabitants  of  Je-rij'sa- 
lem  go,  and  ''cry  unto  the  gods 
unto  whom  they  offer  ^incense: 
but  they  shall  not  save  them  at 
all  in  the  time  of  their  trouble. 

13  For  according  to  the  number 
of  thy  cities  were  thy  ^gods,  O 
Ju'dah;  and  according  to  the 
number  of  the  streets  of  Jc-ru'- 
sa-lem  have  ye  set  up  ''altars  to 
that  shameful  thing,  even  altars 
to  ''burn  "incense  unto  ''Ba'al. 

14  Therefore  'j^ray  not  thou  for 
this  people,  neither  hft  up  a  cry 
or  prayer  for  them:  for  1  '"will 
not  hear  tliem  in  the  time  that 
they  cry  unto  me  for  their 
trouble. 

15  What  hath  my  beloved  to  do 
in  mine  house,  seeing  she  hath 
^wrought  lewdness  with  many, 
and  the  holy  flesh  is  passed  from 
thee  ?  when  thou  doest  evil,  then 
thou  rejoicest. 

16  The  Lord  called  thy  name, 
A  green  olive  tree,  fair,  and  of 
goodly  fruit:  with  the  noise  of  a 
great  tumult  he  hath  kindled  fire 
upon  it,  and  the  branches  of  it 
are  broken. 

17  For  the  Lord  of  hosts,  that 
planted  thee,  hath  pronounced 
evil  against  thee,  for  the  ^evil 
of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  of 


tlie  house  of  Ju'dah,  which  they 
have  ^done  against  themselves  to 
to  provoke  me  to  'anger  in  ''offer- 
ing ''incense  unto  ''Ba'al. 

18  Tf  And  the  Lord  hath  given 
me  knowledge  o/  it,  and  I  know 
it:  then  thou  shewedst  me  their 
doings. 

19  But  I  was  like  a  lamb  or  an 
ox  that  is  brought  to  the  slaugh- 
ter; and  I  knew  not  that  they  had 
'"devised  devices  against  me, 
saying,  Let  us  destroy  the  tree 
with  the  fruit  thereof,  and  let  us 
cut  him  off  from  the  land  of  the 
living,  that  his  name  may  be  no 
more  remembered. 

20  But,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  tliat 
"judgest  "righteously,  that  triest 
the  reins  and  the  ^heart,  ''let  me 
see  thy  vengeance  on  them:  for 
unto  thee  have  I  revealed  my 
cause. 

21  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  the  men  of  ''An'a-thoth, 
that  *seek  thy  life,  saying,  Proj)h- 
esy  not  in  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
that  thou  die  not  by  our  hand: 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts.  Behold,  I  will 
punish  them :  the  young  men  sliall 
die  by  the  'sword;  their  sons  and 
their  daughters  shall  die  by 
"famine: 

23  And  there  shall  be  no  rem- 
nant of  them:  for  I  will  bring 
"evil  upon  the  men  of  ''An'a- 
thoth,  even  the  year  of  their 
visitation.

thy    loins,    and    put    it    not  in 
water. 

2  So  I  ^got  a  '^' ^girdle  according 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  put 
//  on  my  loin.s. 

3  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
"came  unto  me  the  second  time, 
saying, 

4  "Take  the  ''■''girdle  that  thou 
hast  ^got,  which  is  upon  thy 
loins,  and  arise,  go  to  ''Eu-phra'- 
te§,.  and  hide  it  there  in  a  hole  of 
the  rock. 

5  So  I  went,  and  hid  it  by 
''Eu-i)hra'te.s,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded me. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
many  tlays,  that  the  I>ord  said 
unto  me,  Arise,  go  to  ^Eu-phra'- 
tes,  and  take  the  ''■ ''girdle  from 
thence,  which  I  commanded  thee 
to  hide  there. 

7  Then  I  went  to  ^Eu-jihra'tes, 
and  digged,  and  took  the  ''•'^gir- 
dle  fi'om  the  place  where  I  had 
hid  it:  and,  behold,  the  girdle 
was  marred,  it  was  profitable  for 
nothing. 

8  Then  the  word  of  the  I.,ord 
"came  unto  me,  saying, 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  "After 
this  manner  will  I  mar  the  "pride 
of  ''Ju'dah,  and  the  great  pride 
of  *Je-rii'sa-lcm. 

10  This  evil  'people,  which  ^'-'re- 
fuse to  hear  my  words,  which 
'"walk  in  the  ^imagination  of 
their  heart,  and  walk  "after  other 
gods,  to  serve  them,  and  to  wor- 
ship them,  shall  even  be  as  this 
'^girdle,  Avhich  is  good  for  nothing. 

11  For  as  the  '^girdle  cleaveth  to 
the  loins  of  a  man,  so  have  I 
caused  to  cleave  unto  me  the 
whole  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  the 
whole  house  of  Ju'dah,  saith  the 
Lord;  "that  they  might  be  unto 
me  for  a  people,  and  for  a  name, 
and  for  a  praise,  and  for  a  glory: 
but  they  *•^vould  not  hear. 

12  If  Therefore  thou  shalt  speak 
unto  them  this  word;  Thus  saith 


the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Every 
bottle  shall  be  filled  with  wine: 
and  they  shall  say  unto  thee.  Do 
we  not  certainly  know  that  every 
bottle  shall  be  filled  with  wine  ? 

13  Then  shalt  thou  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, "'^I  will  fill  all  the  inhabit- 
ants of  this  land,  even  the  kings 
that  sit  upon  Da'vid's  throne, 
and  the  ])riests,  and  the  proph- 
ets, and  all  the  inhabitants  of 
Je-rii'sa-lem,  with  drunkenness. 

14  And  "-n  will  dash  them  one 
against  another,  even  the  fathers 
and  the  sons  together,  saith  the 
T>ord:  I  will  not  ''pity,  nor  spare, 
nor  have  mercy,  but  destroy 
them. 

15  Tf  *Hear  ye,  and  give  ear;  be 
not  proud:  for  the  Lord  hath 
spoken. 

16  Give  glory  to  the  Lord  your 
God,  before  he  cau-se  ^''"dark- 
ness, and  before  your  feet  stum- 
ble upon  the  dark  mountains, 
and,  while  ye  look  for  light,  he 
turn  it  into  the  shadow  of  death, 
and  make  it  gross  darkness. 

17  But  if  ye  ^•^vill  not  hear  it, 
v.w.x,y^^■^y  g^^j]  si^all  weep  in  se- 
cret places  for  your  pride;  and 
mine  eye  shall  weep  sore,  and 
run  down  with  tears,  because  the 
Lord's  flock  is  carried  away 
captive. 

18  Say  unto  the  ^king  and  to  the 
^((ueen,  *Humble  yourselves,  sit 
down:  for  your  ^principalities 
shall  come  down,  etie7i  the  crown

19  The  cities  of  the  south  shall

hast  taught  them  to  be  captains,

sorrows  take  thee,  as  a  woman

22  t  And  if  thou  say  in  thine

things  upon  me  ?  Tor  the  great-

CHAPTER  14 

Dearth  upon  the  hind.  7  The  prayer  of  the 
prophet  for  it.i  removal.  10  God  will  not 
be  entreatfd  for  the  people.  13  Lying 
pruptirts  no  excuse  for  them.  17  Jer- 
emiah's continued  intercession  for  the 
people. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  that 
'^'"came  to  Jer-e-im'ah  con- 
cerning the  Mearth. 

2  Ju'dah  ''•''mourneth,  and  the 
Agates  thereof  languish;  they  are 
black  unto  the  ground;  and  the 
cry  of  Je-rii'sa-lem  is  gone  uj). 

3  And  their  nobles  have  .sent 
their  little  ones  to  the  waters: 
they  came  to  the  pits,  and  found 
''no  water;  they  returned  with 
their  vessels  empty;   they  were 


ashamed  and  confounded,   and 
covered  their  heads. 

4  Because  the  groimd  is  chapt, 
for  there  was  "no  ^rain  in  the 
earth,  the  plowmen  were  asham- 
ed, they  covered  their  heads. 

5  Yea,  the  ''hind  also  calved  in 
the  field,  and  forsook  it,  because 
there  was  no  grass. 

6  And  the  Svild  asses  klid  stand 
in  the  high  places,  they  snuffed 
up  the  wind  like  'dragons;  their 
eyes  did  fail,  because  there  ivas 
no  grass. 

7  ^  ^O  Lord,  though  our  iniq- 
uities testify  against  us,  do  thou 
it  for  thy  name's  sake:  for  our 
'backslidings  are  many;  '"'"we 
have  sinned  against  thee. 

8  *'0  the  hope  l.  Is'ra-el,  the 
"saviour  thereof  in  time  of 
''trouble,  why  shouldest  thou  be 
as  a  ^stranger  in  the  land,  and  as 
a  wayfaring  man  that  turneth 
aside  to  tarry  for  a  night  ? 

9  '^Why  shouldest  thou  be  as  a 
man  astonied,  as  a  mighty  man 
that  cannot  save  ?  yet  'thou,  O 
I>ORD,  art  in  the  midst  of  us,  and 
we  are  ''called  by  thy  name; 
leave  us  not. 

10  T[  Thus  saith  the  Lord  un- 
to this  people.  Thus  have  they 
*■ 'loved  to  wander,  they  have 
"not  refrained  their  feet,  there- 
fore the  Lord  doth  not  accept 
them;  he  will  now  remember 
their  ini([uity,  and  "visit  their 
sins. 

11  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
me,  "Tray  not  for  this  people  for 
their  good. 

12  When  they  ^fast,  n  will  not 
hear  their  cry;  and  when  they 
offer  l)urnt  offering  and  an  ob- 
lation, T  will  not  accept  them: 
but  "I  will  "consume  them  by  the 
"sword,  and  by  the  ''famine,  and 
by  the  "j^estilence. 

13  \  Then  said  L,  Ah,  Lord 
God!  behold,  the  /prophets  say 
unto  them.  Ye  shall  not  see  the

sword,  neither  shall  ye  have  fam-

peace  in  this  place. 

14  Then  the  Lord  said  unto 
me,  The  ^prophets  prophesy  lies 
in  my  name:  I  sent  them  not, 
neither  have  I  commanded  them, 
neither  spake  mito  them:  they 
prophesy  unto  you  a  false  vision 
and  ''divination,  and  a  thing  of 
nought,  and  the  'deceit  of  their 
heart. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  the  ''prophets 
that  prophesy  in  my  name,  and 
I  sent  them  not,  yet  they  say, 
Sword  and  famine  shall  not  be  in 
this  land;  ''By  '^sword  and  "^fam- 
ine shall  those  prophets  be  con- 
sumed. 

16  And  the  people  to  whom 
they  prophesy  shall  be  cast  out 
in  the  streets  of  ^Je-ri/sa-lem 
l^ecause  of  the  famine  and  the 
sword;  and  they  shall  have  none 
to  bury  them,  them,  their  waves, 
nor  their  sons,  nor  their  daugh- 
ters: for  I  will  j)our  their  wicked- 
ness upon  them. 

17  Therefore  thou  shalt  say 
this  word  unto  them;  ^I^et  mine 
eyes  run  down  with  tears  night 
and  day,  and  let  them  not  cease: 
for  the  ^virgin  daughter  of  my 
people  is  broken  with  a  great 
breach,  with  a  very  grievous 
blow. 

18  ^If  I  go  forth  into  the  field, 
then  "'behold  the  slain  with  the 
'^swordl  and  if  I  enter  into  the 
city,  then  behold  them  that  are 
sick  with  '^famine!  yea,  both  the 
prophet  and  the  priest  go  about 
^into  a  land  that  they  know  not. 

19  ''^•'^•''Hast  thou  utterly  ^re- 
jected jQ'dah?  «hath  tliy  soul 
lothed  Zi'on  ?  why  hast  thou 
smitten  us,  and  there  is  no  heal- 
ing for  us  ?  we  looked  for  peace, 
and  there  is  no  good;  and  for 
tlie  time  of  healing,  and  behold 
trouble! 


20  "•'^We  acknowledge,  O 
Lord,  our  wickedness,  aiid  the 
iniquity  of  our  fathers:  for  we 
have  sinned  against  thee. 

21  °Do  not  abhor  us,  *for  thy 
name's  sake,  Mo  not  disgrace  the 
throne  of  thy  glory:  remember, 
^break  not  thy  ^covenant  with  us. 

22  Are  there  any  among  the 
"vanities  of  the  *Gen'tile.5  that 
can  cause  rain  ?  or  can  the  heav- 
ens give  showers  ?  art  not  thou  he, 
O  Lord  our  God  ?  therefore  we 
will  wait  upon  thee:  'for  thou 
hast  ""made  all  ^these  things.

given  him. 

THP2N  said  the  Lord  unto 
"me.  Though  *M5'§es  and 
'^Sa.m'u-el  '^stood  before  me,  yet 
my  mind  could  not  be  toward 
this  '^people:  ^cast  them  out  of  my 
sight,  and  let  them  go  forth, 

2  "And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if 
they  say  unto  thee.  Whither  shall 
we  go  forth  ?  then  thou  shalt 
tell  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
^■''Such  as  are  for  Meath,  to  death; 
and  such  as  are  for  the  'sword,  to 
the  sword;  and  such  as  are  for 
the  ^famine,  to  the  famine;  and 
such  as  are  for  the  'captivity,  to 
the  captivity. 

3  And  ^-"l  will  appoint  over 
them  four  kinds,  saith  the 
Lord:  the  'sword  to  slay,  and 
the  dogs  to  tear,  and  the  fowls 
of  the  heaven,  and  the  beasts 
of  the  earth,  to  devour  and 
destroy. 

4  And  "•''I  will  cause  them 
to  be  ^'"'removed  into  all  king- 
doms of  the  earth,  "because  of 
"Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  ''Hez-e- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  for  that 
which  he  did  in  *Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  For  who  shall  have  pity  upon 
thee,  O  Je-rii'sa-lein  ?  or  who 
shall  bemoan  thee  ?  or  who  shall 
go  aside  to  ask  how  thou  doest  ?

begat  them  in  this  land; 

4  ^■''They  shall  ''die  of  grievous 
deaths;  they  shall  not  be  lament-

but  they  shall  be  as  dung  upon

shall  be  consumed  by  the  ^sword, 
and  by  ^famine;  and  their  car- 
cases shall  be  meat  for  the  fowls 
of  heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of 
the  earth. 

5  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  En- 
ter not  into  the  house  of  'mourn- 
ing, neither  go  to  lament  nor 
bemoan  them:  for  '"I  have  taken 
away  my  peace  from  this  people, 
saith  the  Lord,  even  lovingkind-

neither  shall  men  give  them  the 
^cup  of  consolation  to  drink  for

8  Thou  slialt  not  also  go  into 
the  house  of  ^'feasting,  to  sit  with 
them  to  eat  and  to  drink. 

9  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Be- 
hold, ''■'1  will  cause  to  cease  out 
of  this  place  in  your  eyes,  and 
in  your  days,  the  voice  of  mirth, 
and  the  voice  of  gladness,  the 
voice  of  the  bridegroom,  and  the 
voice  of  the  bride. 

10  1[  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  thou  shalt  shew  this  people 
all  these  words,  and  they  shall 
say  unto  thee,  ''■^■'Wherefore 
hath  the  Lord  pronounced  all 
this  great  evil  against  us  ?  or 
*what  is  our  iniquity  ?  or  *vvhat 
ts  our   sin   that  we  have   com- 


mitted  against    the  Lord   our 
God? 

11  Then  shalt  thou  say  unto 
them,  "Because  your  fathers 
have  ''forsaken  me,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  have  walked  ""after 
other  gods,  and  have  served 
them,  and  have  worshipped 
them,  and  have  forsaken  me, 
and  -^have  not  ke])t  my  law; 

12  And  ^ye  have  done  worse 
than  'your  fathers;  for,  behold, 
ye  "walk  every  one  after  the 
"•''imagination  of  his  ''evil  heart, 
that  they  may  ''not  hearken  unto 
me: 

13  Therefore  will  I  ''•'cast  you 
out  of  this  land  ''into  a  land  that 
ye  know  not,  neither  ye  nor  your 
fathers;  and  there  shall  ye  ''serve 
other  gods  day  and  night;  where 
I  will  not  shew  you  favour. 

14  ^  Therefore,  behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  tlie  Lord,  that 
it  shall  no  more  be  said.  The 
Lord  Hveth,  that  'brought  up 
the  children  of  I.s'ra-el  out  of 
the  land  of  ^E'gypt; 

15  But,  The  Lord  liveth,  that 
'^brought  up  the  children  of  I.s'- 
ra-el  from  the  land  of  the  north, 
and  from  all  the  lands  whither  he 
had  Mriven  them:  and  ^1  will 
bring  them  again  into  their  'land 
that  I  '"gave  unto  their  fathers. 

16  H  Behold,  I  will  send  for 
many  "fishers,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  they  shall  fish  them;  and 
after  Mill  I  send  for  many  hunt- 
ers, and  they  shall  "hunt  them 
from  every  mountain,  and  from 
every  hill,  and  out  of  the  holes 
of  the  rocks. 

17  For  ''mine  eyes  are  upon  all 
their  *ways:  they  are  not  hid 
from  my  face,  neither  is  their 
inicpiity  hid  from  mine  eyes. 

18  And  first  I  will  'recom-

CHAPTER  17 

The  captivity  of  the  Jews  for  their  sins. 
5  Their  confidence  in  man  rebuked.  12 
The  prophet  pre  lis  for  protection  from  his 
enemies.     19  The  Sabbath  to  be  hallowed. 

THE  sin  of "  Ju'dah  is  written 
with  a  ''pen  of  ^iron,  and 
with  the  point  of  a  '^diamond:  it 
is  graven  upon  the  ''table  of  their 
''heart,  and  upon  the  horns  of 
your  altars; 

2  ^\^^ilst  their  children  ''re- 
member ''their  "^altars  and  their 
i.y.ftgroves  by  the  green  trees  up- 
on the  high  hills. 

3  O  my  mountain  in  the  field,  I 
will  give  thy  substance  and  all 
thy  treasures  to  the  spoil,  and 
thy  high  places  for  sin,  through- 
out all  thy  borders. 

4  And  thou,  even  thyself,  shalt 
discontinue  from  thine  'heritage 
that  I  gave  thee;  and  I  will  cause 
thee  to  '"serve  thine  enemies  in 
the  land  which  thou  knowest 
not:  for  ye  have  kindled  a  fire  in 
mine  "anger,  tvhich  shall  burn 
for  ever. 

5  t  Thus  saith  the  Eord; 
"Cursed  he  the  ''man  that  "trust- 
eth  in  man,  and  maketii  flesh  his 
arm,  and  whose  Hieart  Mepart- 
eth  from  tlie  Lord. 

6  For  "he  .shall  be  like  the  heath 
in  the  'desert,  and  shall  not  see 


when  good  cometh;  but  shall  in- 
habit the  parched  ])laccs  in  the 
wilderness^  in  a  salt  land  and  not 
inhabited. 

7  "'"Blessed  is  the  '"man  that 
■'■•-"trusteth  in  the  Lord,  and 
whose  ^hope  the  I^ord  is. 

8  For  'he  shall  be  as  a  tree 
planted  by  the  waters,  and  that 
spreadeth  out  her  roots  by  the 
river,  and  shall  not  "see  when 
heat  cometh,  but  her  leaf  shall  l)e 
green;  and  shall  not  be  careful 
in  the  year  of  drought,  u'Mtlier 
shall  cease  from  yielding  fruit. 

9  ^  The  "heart' w  "•'^•''deceitful 
above  all  things,  and  des[)erately 
^wicked:  who  can  know  it  ? 

10  I  the  Lord  "•-'search  the 
^heart,  /  try  the  reins,  even  to 
''•'give  every  man  according  to 
his  ways,  and  according  to  the 
^fruits  of  his  doings. 

11  yl^  the  ''partridge  '^sitteth 
on  eggs,  and  hatcheth  tltem  not; 
^so  he  that  "'getteth  "riches,  and 
"not  by  right,  shall  leave  them 
in  the  midst  of  his  days,  and  at 
his  end  shall  be  a  ^fool. 

12  ^  *A  glorious  high  throne 
from  the  beginning  is  the  place 
of  our  ''sanctuary. 

13  O  Lord,  the  hope  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  all  that  forsake  thee  shall 
be  ashamed,  and  they  that  *de- 
]xirt  from  me  shall  be  written  in 
the  earth,  because  they  have  for- 
saken the  Lord,  the  'fountain  of 
living  waters.

shall  be  saved:  for  thou  art  my

dismayed,  but  let  not  me  be  dis- 
mayed: bring  upon  them  the  day 
of  evil,  and  destroy  them  with 
double  destruction. 

19  T[  Thus  said  the  Lord  unto 
me;  Go  and  stand  in  the  ^gate 
of  the  children  of  the  people, 
whereby  the  kings  of  Ju'dah 
come  in,  and  by  the  which  they 
go  out,  and  in  all  the  gates  of 
'  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 

20  And  say  unto  them,  Hear  ye 
the  "word  of  the  liORD,  ye  kings 
of  Ju'dah,  and  all  Ju'dah,  and 
all  the  inhabitants  of  ''Je-ru'sa- 
lera,  that  enter  in  by  these  Agates: 

21  "Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Take 
heed  to  yourselves,  and  ''bear  no 
burden  on  the  'sabbath  day,  nor 
bring  it  in  by  the  Agates  of  ''Je- 
ru'sa-lem; 

22  ''Neither  carry  forth  a  bur- 
den out  of  your  houses  on  the 
'sabbath  day,  neither  do  ye  any 
work,  but  ^hallow  ye  the  sabbath 
day,  as  I  commanded  your  fa- 
thers. 

23  But  they  *• '•'"obeyed  not, 
neither  inclined  their  ear,  but 
made  their  neck  stiff,  that  they 
might  not  hear,  nor  receive  "in- 
struction. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
"if  ye  diligently  hearken  unto 
me,  saith  the  Lord,  to  bring  in 
no  burden  through  the  Agates  of 
this  'city  on  the  ^sabbath  day, 
but  'hallow  the  sabbath  day,  to 
do  no  work  therein; 

25  ^'"Then  shall  there  enter  in- 
to the  gates  of  this  city  kings  and 
princes  sitting  upon  the  throne 


of  Da'vid,  riding  in  chariots  and 
on  horses,  they,  and  their  princes, 
the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  in- 
habitants of  Je-rii'sa-lem :  and 
this  city  shall  remain  for  ever. 

26  And  ^'  'they  shall  come  from 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  from 
the  places  about  Je-rii'sa-lem, 
and  from  the  land  of  Ben'ja- 
min,  and  from  the  plain,  and 
from  the  mountains,  and  from 
the  south,  brino-ing;  ''burnt  offer- 
ings,  and  sacrifices,  and  meat 
off erings,  and  incense,  and  bring- 
ing sacrifices  of  Upraise,  unto 
the  'house  of  the  Lord. 

27  But  "if  ye  will  not  hearken 
unto  me  to  hallow  the  sabbath 
day,  and  not  to  bear  a  burden, 
even  entering  in  at  the  gates  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem  on  the  sabbath  day ; 
"then  will  I  kindle  a  fire  in  the 
gates  thereof,  and  it  shall  devour 
the  palaces  of  Je-rii'sa-lem,  and 
it  shall  not  be  quenched.

By  the  type  of  a  potter,  God's  sovereignty 
over  the  nations  is  shewn.  11  Judgments 
upon  Judnh  for  her  idolatry.  18  The 
prophet's  complaint  and  prayer  against

THE   "word   which   "came   to 
'^  Jer-e-ml'ah  from  the  Lord, 
saying, 

2  Arise,  and  go  down  to  the 
*potter's  house,  and  there  I  will 
cause  thee  to  hear  my  words. 

3  Then  I  went  down  to  the 
*potter's  house,  and,  behold,  he 
''wrought  a  work  on  the  wheels. 

4  And  the  vessel  that  he  made 
of  ''clay  was  marred  in  the  hand 
of  the  *potter:  so  he  made  it 
again  another  vessel,  as  seemed 
good  to  the  potter  to  make  it. 

5  Then  the  "word  of  the  Lord 
"came  to  ''me,  saying, 

6  O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  cannot  I 
do  with  you  as  this  *potter? 
saith  the  Lord.  Behold,  as  the 
''clay  is  in  the  potter's  hand,  so

7  ^At  icJiat  instant  I  shall  speak 
concerning  a  nation,  and  con-

and  to  pull  down,  and  to  de-

8  ''If  that  nation,  against  whom 
I  have  pronounced,  'turn  from 
their  evil,  I  will  ■'repent  of  the 
evil  that  I  thought  to  do  unto

and  to  plant  it; 

10  ''If  it  do  evil  in  my  sight,  that 
it  'obey  not  my  voice,  then  I  will 
^re})ent  of  the  '"good,  wherewith 
I  said  I  would  benefit  them. 

11  Now  therefore  go  to,  speak 
to  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  to 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-rii'sri-lein, 
"'"saying,  *Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Behold,  I  frame  evil  against  you,

''return  ye  now  every  one  from

12  And  they  *said,  There  is  no

our  own  devices,  and  we  will 
^every  one  do  the  imagination  of 
his  evil  heart. 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Ask  ye  now  among  the 
^heathen,  who  hath  heard  such 
things:  the  virgin  of  Is'ra-el  hath 
done  a  very  horrible  thing. 

14  ^Will  a  man  leave  the  ^snow

cold  ^flowing  waters  that  come 
from  another  place  be  for-

15  Because  my  people  hath 
"forgotten  me,  they  have  burned 
"incense  to  '"vanity,  and  they 
have  caused  them  to  ^tumble 
in  their  ways  from  the  ancient 


paths,  to  walk  in  paths,  in  a  way 
not  cast  up; 

16  "'"To  make  their  land  des-

that  I  stood  before  thee  to  ''speak

CHAPTER  19 

By  the  type  of  the  breaking  of  a  potter's 
vessel,  is  foreshcwn  tlie  utter  desolation  of 
Judah  and  Jerusalem  for  their  sins. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord,  Go 
and  ^'"get  a  "potter's  earthen 
''•'^bottle,  and  take  of  the  ^ancients 
of  the  people,  and  of  the  ^an- 
cients of  the  priests; 

2  And  go  forth  unto  the  valley 
of  the  son  of  '^Hin'nom,  which  is 
by  the  entry  of  the  ^east  gate, 
and  proclaim  there  the  words 
tliat  'I  shall  tell  thee, 

3  And  say,  Hear  ye  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  O  kings  of  "Ju'- 
dah,  and  inhabitants  of  ''Je-ru'- 
sa-lcni;  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Ls'ra-el; 
Behold,  T  will  bring  'evil  upon 
this  place,  the  which  ■s\hosoever 
heareth,  his  ears  shall  tingle. 

4:  Because  they  have  ^forsaken 
me,  and  have  estranged  this 
place,  and  have  n:)uriied  '"in- 
cense in  it  unto  other  gods, 
whom  neither  they  nor  their  fa- 
thers have  known,  nor  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah,  and  have  filled  this 
place  with  the  "blood  of  inno- 
cents; 

5  rhey  have  built  also  the  high 
places  of  "Ba'al,  to  burn  their 
''sons  v.ith  fire  fur  burnt  offerings 
unto  Ba'al,  which  I  commanded 
not,  nor  spake  it,  neither  came 
it  into  my  mind: 

6  ''Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  this 
|)lace  shall  no  more  be  called 
''To'phet,  nor  The  valley  of  the 
son  of  *^Hin'aom,  but  The  val- 
ley of  slaughter. 

7  And  'I  will  make  void  the 
coimsel  of  ^Ju'dah  and  ''Je-rii'- 
sa-lem  in  tliis  place;  and  I  will 
cause  them  to  fall  by  the  ''sword 
before  their  enemies,  and  by  the 
hands  of  them  that  seek  their 
lives:  and  their  carcases  will  1 


give  to  be  meat  for  the  fowls  of 
the  heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of 
the  earth. 
S  And  ''■"■'1  will  make  this  city 
Mesolate,  and  an  hissing;  every 
one  that  passeth  thereby  shall  be 
astonished  and  hiss  because  of 
all  the  plagues  thereof. 

9  And  "-''-'I  will  "cause  them  to 
'eat  the  flesh  of  their  sons  and 
the  flesh  of  their  daughters,  and 
they  shall  eat  every  one  the  flesh 
of  his  friend  in  the  "siege  and 
straitness,  w4ierewith  their  en- 
emies, and  they  that  seek  their 
lives,  shall  straiten  them. 

10  "Then  shalt  thou  break  the 
''"'^bottle  in  the  sight  of  the  men 
that  go  with  thee, 

11  And  shalt  say  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
"-'Even  so  will  I  break  this  peo- 
ple and  this  city,  as  one  breaketh 
a  "potter's  vessel,  that  cannot  be 
made  whole  again:  and  they 
shall  bury  them  in  'To'phet,  till 
there  be  no  place  to  bury. 

12  "-''•^Thus  will  I  do  unto  this 
])lace,  saith  the  Lord,  and  to 
tlie  inhabitants  thereof,  and  even 
make  this  city  as  ''To'phet: 

13  And  the  houses  of  ''Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  the  houses  of  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah,  shall  be  defiled  as  the 
j)lace  of  'To'phet,  because  of  all 
the  houses  upon  whose  ''roofs 
they  have  'burned  '"incense  unto 
all  the  "'host  of  heaven,  and  have 
'poured  out  drink  otterings  unto 
other  gods. 

14  Then  came  ^Jer-e-ml^ih 
from  'To'phet,  whither  the 
Lord  had  ''sent  him  to  proph-

all  the  people,

CHAPTER  20 

The  prophet,  smitten  by  Pashur,  foretells 
his  fearful  doom.  7  The  prophet  com- 
plains of  contempt,  10  and  of  treachery. 
14  lie  curses  the  day  of  nis  birth. 

NOW  Pash'ur  the  son  of 
Im'iner  the  priest,  who  was 
also  chief  governor  in  the 
"''hou.se  of  the  Lord,  heard 
that  '^Jer-e-mi'ah  prophesied 
these  things. 

2  Then  '^Pash'iir  ^smote  ^Jer- 
e-ml'ah  the  pro])het,  and  put 
him  in  the  ^stocks  that  were  in 
the  high  "•''gate  of  Ben'ja-min, 
which  ^ca.s  by  the  *house  of  the 
Lord, 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  ''Pash'ur  brought 
forth  '^Jer-e-mi'ah  out  of  the 
'stocks.  Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah. 
unto  him.  The  Lord  hath  not 
called  thy  name  Pitsh'ur,  but 
^^L'l'gor-mis'sa-bib. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  make  ''thee  a 
terror  to  thyself,  and  to  all  thy 
friends:  and  *'-'they  shall  fall  by 
the  ^'sword  of  their  enemies,  and 
thine  eyes  shall  behold  it:  and  '1 
will  give  all  Ju'dah  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  '"Bab'y-lon,  and  he 
shall  carry  them  "ca])tive  into 
"Bab'y-lon,  and  shall  slay  them 
with  the  sword. 

5  Moreover  ''^'I  will  deliver  all 
the  strength  of  this  city,  and  all 
the  labours  thereof,  and  all  the 
precious  things  thereof,  and  all 
the  treasures  of  the  kings  of  Ju'- 
dah  will  I  give  into  the  hand  of 
their  enemies,  which  shall  spoil 
them,  and  take  them,  and  carry 
them  to  °Bab'y-lon. 

6  And  thou,  ''Pash'ur,  and  all 
that  dwell  in  thine  hou.se  ^shall 
go  into  "captivity:  and  thou  shalt 
come  to  "Bab'y-lon,  and  there 
thou  shalt  die,  and  shalt  be 
buried  there,  thou,  and  all  thy 


th( 


hast 


friends,    to    whom 
prophesied    lies. 

7  T[  'O  Lord,  thou  hast  de- 
ceived me,  and  I  was  deceived: 
thou  art  stronger  than  I,  and 
hast  prevailed:  T  am  ^-^in  deri- 
sion daily,  every  one  ^mocketh 
me. 

8  For  since  I  spake,  1  cried 
out,  I  cried  violence  and  spoil; 
because  ''the  word  of  the  Lord 
was  made  a  reproach  unto  me, 
and  a  derision,  Maily. 

9  Then  1  said,  I  will  not  make 
mention  of  him,  nor  speak  any 
more  in  his  name.  But  '•'"his 
word  was  in  mine  ^heart  as  a 
burning  "'fire  shut  up  in  my 
bones,  and  I  was  weary  with 
forbearing,  and  I  ''could  not  stay. 

10  For  I  heard  the  ^defaming  of 
many,  fear  on  every  side.  ^Re- 
port, sMj  they,  and  we  will  report 
it.  All  my  familiars  ^watched 
for  my  halting,  saying,  Perad- 
venture  he  will  be  enticed,  and 
we  shall  prevail  against  him,  and 
we  shall  take  our  ^revenge  on 
him. 

11  But  "■''the  Lord  is  '"with  me 
as  a  ''mighty  terrible  one:  there- 
fore my  persecutors  shall  stum- 
ble, and  they  shall  not  prevail: 
they  shall  be  greatly  ashamed; 
"for  they  shall  not  prosper:  their 
everlasting  confusion  shall  never 
be  forgotten. 

12  But,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  that 
''triest  the  righteous,  and  ''seest 
the  reins  and  the  "heart,  ''let 
me  see  thy  vengeance  on  them: 
for  unto  thee  have  I  opened  my 
cause. 

13  Sing  unto  the  Lord,  'p'-aise 
ye  the  Lord:  for  he  hath  deliv- 
ered the  soul  of  the  ■'poor  from 
the  hand  of  evildoers. 

14  ^  *■'. '"Cursed  he  the  "day 
wherein  I  was  born:  let  not  the 
day  wherein  my  mother  bare  me 
be  blessed.

CHAPTER  21 

Zedekiah  inquires  of  the  prophet  the  issue  of 
Nebuchadnezzar's  icar.  3  The  prophet 
foretells  the  overthrow  of  the  city  and  the 
captivity  of  tlie  people.  8  He  counsels 
them  to  go  over  to  the  Chaldeans;  11  and 
upbraids  the  king's  house. 

THE  word  which  "came  unto 
*  Jer-e-ml'ah  from  theLoRD, 
when  king  '^Zed-e-kl'ah  sent  unto 
him  '*PS.sh''ur  the  son  of  ^JNIel- 
chi'ah,  and  *Zeph-a-nI'ah  the 
son  of  ^Ma-a-se'iah  the  priest, 
saying, 

2  Enquire,  I  pray  thee,  of  the 
Lord  for  us;  for  ^Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar  king  of  *Bab'y-lon  mak- 
eth  war  against  us;  if  so  be  that 
the  Lord  will  deal  with  us 
according  to  all  his  wondrous 
works,  that  he  may  go  up  from 
us. 

3  ^  Then  said  °'^Jer-e-mi'ah 
unto  them.  Thus  shall  ye  say  to 
'^Zed-e-kl'ah : 

4  *Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Ls'ra-el;  Behold,  'I  will  *turn 
back  the  weapons  of  war  that 
are  in  your  hands,  wherewith  ye 
fight  against  the  king  of  ''Bab'- 
y-lon,  and  against  the  Chal-de'- 
ans,  which  'besiege  you  without 
the  walls,  and  'I  will  assemble 
them  into  the  midst  of  this  citv. 


5  And  ■'•^I  myself  will  fight 
against  you  with  an  outstretched 
hand  and  with  a  strong  arm, 
even  in  '"anger,  and  in  fury,  and 
in  great  wrath. 

6  And  ^•^•'•'l  will  smite  the  in- 
habitants of  this  "city,  both  man 
and  "beast:  they  shall  die  of  a 
great  pestilence. 

7  And  afterward,  saith  the 
Lord,  *-T  will  Meliver  '^Zed-e- 
kl'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  his 
servants,  and  the  })eople,  and 
such  as  are  left  in  this  city  from 
the  pestilence,  from  the  ^sword, 
and  from  the  'famine,  into  the 
hand  of  *'Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  ''B&b'y-lon,  and  into  the 
hand  of  their  enemies,  and  into 
the  hand  of  those  that  seek  their 
life:  and  he  shall  smite  them  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword;  he  shall  not 
spare  them,  neither  have  '^pity, 
nor  have  *inercy. 

8  ^  And  unto  this  people  thou 
shalt  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Behold,  I  set  before  you  the  way 
of  life,  and  the  way  of  death. 

9  He  that  abideth  in  this  city 
shall  die  by  the  ''sword,  and  by 
the  'famine,  and  by  the  'pesti- 
lence: but  he  that  goeth  out,  and 
falleth  to  the  Chal-de'an.s  that 
besiege  you,  he  shall  live,  and 
his  life  shall  be  unto  him  for  a 
prey. 

10  For  I  have  set  my  face 
against  "this  city  for  evil,  and 
not  for  good,  saith  the  Lord:  it 
shall  be  given  into  the  hand  of 
the  "king  of  ''Bab'y-lon,  and  he 
shall  burn  it  with  fire.

to  repentance.  10  The  judgment  upon 
Shallum,  13  upon  Jclioiakim,  20  and 
upon  Coniah. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord;  Go 
down  to  the  house  of  the 
king  of  Ju'dah,  and  "speak  there 
this  word, 

2  And  say,  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  O  king  of  Ju'dah, 
that  sittest  upon  the  throne  of 
Da'vid,  thou,  and  thy  servants, 
and  thy  people  that  enter  in  by 
these  gates: 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  "■'^''^Ex- 
ecute  ye  *^judgment  and  right- 
eousness, and  deliver  the  spoiled 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  oppressor: 
and  Mo  no  wrong,  do  no  violence 
to  the  "stranger,  the  ''fatherless, 
nor  the  Svidow,  neither  ^shed  in- 
nocent blood  in  this  place. 

4  For  '^if  ye  do  this  thing  in- 
deed, '•'"then  shall  there  enter 
in  by  the  gates  of  this  house 
kings  sitting  upon  the  throne  of 
Da'vid,  riding  in  chariots  and  on 
horses,  he,  and  his  servants,  and 
his  people. 

5  But  ^if  ye  will  not  hear  these 
words,  I  "swear  by  myself,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  "this  house  shall 
l)ecome  a  desolation. 

6  For  "thus  suith  the  I>ord 
unto  the  king's  house  of  Ju'- 
dah ;  Thou  art  "GiKe-Sd  unto  me, 


and  the  head  of  ^Leb'a-non :  yet 
surely  'I  will  make  thee  a  wil- 
derness, and  cities  which  are  not 
inhabited. 

7  And  "•*!  will  prepare  destroy- 
ers against  thee,  every  one  with 
his  weapons:  and  they  shall  cut 
down  thy  choice  ''cedars,  and 
cast  them  into  the  fire. 

8  And  many  nations  shall  pass 
by  this  *city,  and  they  shall  say 
every  man  to  his  neighbour. 
Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  done 
thus  unto  this  great  city  ? 

9  Then  they  shall  answer.  Be- 
cause they  have  'forsaken  the 
"covenant  of  the  Lord  their 
God,  and  "worshipped  other 
gods,  and  served  them. 

10  \  "'Weep  ye  not  for  the  dead, 
neither  bemoan  him:  hid  weep 
sore  for  ^him  that  goeth  away: 
for  he  shall  return  no  more,  nor 
see  his  native  country. 

11  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
touching  ^Shal'lum  the  son  of 
^J6-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  which 
reigned  instead  of  J6-si'ah  his 
father,  which  went  forth  out  of 
this  place;  He  shall  not  return 
thither  any  more: 

12  But  ^he  shall  die  in  ^he 
place  whither  they  have  led  him 
captive,  and  shall  see  this  laml 
no  more. 

13 1  "Woe  unto ''him  that  build- 
cth  his  house  by  '^unrighteous- 
ness, and  his  chambers  by 
wrong;  ''tliat  "^useth  his  '^•''neigh-

and  '^giveth  him  not  for  his  work; 

14  That  saith,  I  will  build  me  a 
wide  ^house  and  large  chambers, 
and  cutteth  him  out  windows; 
and  it  is  cieled  with  'cedar,  and 
^painted  with  'vermilion.

thou  ^closest  thyself  in  cedar?

thou  '^obeyedst  not  my  voice. 

22  The  wind  shall  \-at  up  all 
thy  pastors,  and  thy  lovers  shall

23  O  inhabitant  of  Leb'a-non,

vessel  wherein  is  no  pleasure  ? 
wherefore  are  they  cast  out,  he

land  which  they  know  not  ? 

29  O  earth,  earth,  earth,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord. 

30  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Write

'^Da'vid  a  ''righteous  "-''Branch, 
and  a  ^King  shall  reign  and 
"prosper,  and  shall  execute  judg- 
ment and  justice  in  the  earth. 

6  '^•'^In  his  days  Ju'dah  shall  be 
saved,  and  Ls'ra-el  shall  dwell 
safely:  and  this  is  his  name 
whereby  he  shall  be  called, 
''THE  LORD  OUR  RIGHT- 
EOUSNESS. 

7  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  they 
shall  no  more  say,  The  Lord 
liveth,  which  ^Drought  up  the 
children  of  '^Is'ra-el  out  of  the 
land  of  ^E'gypt; 

8  But,  the  Lord  liveth,  which 
^Vjrought  up  and  which  led  the 
seed  of  the  house  of  ^Is'ra-el  out 
of  the  north  country,  and  from 
all  countries  whither  I  had  driven 
them;  and  '"they  shall  dwell  in 
their  own  land. 

9  Tf  Mine  heart  within  me  is 
broken  because  of  the  prophets; 
all  my  bones  shake;  I  am  like  a 
'"drunken  man,  and  like  a  man 
whom  "wine  hath  overcome,  be- 
cause of  the  Lord,  and  because 
of  ^the  words  of  his  holiness. 

lOFor  the  land  is  full  of  "'^adul- 
terers; for  because  of  swearing 
the  land  mourneth;  the  ^pleasnnt 
places  of  the  wilderness  are  dried 
up,  and  their  course  is  evil,  and 
their  force  is  not  right. 

11  For  both  'prophet  and 
'^priest  are  profane;  yea,  *in  my 
house  have  I  found  their  wicked- 
ness, saith  the  Lord. 

12  Wherefore  'their  way  shall 
be  unto  them  as  slippery  timys  in 
the  darkness :  they  shall  be  driven 
on,  and  fall  therein:  for  I  will 
bring  ''evil  upon  them,  even  the 
year  of  thei!r  visitation,  saith  the 
Lord. 

13  And  I  have  seen  folly  in 
the  'prophets  of  "Sa-ma'ri-a; 
they  prophesied  ''in  ^Ba'al,  and 
'"caused  my  people  I§'ra-el  to 
err. 


14  I  have  seen  also  in  the 
'prophets  of  ^Je-ru'sa-l6m  an 
horrible  thing:  they  commit 
"adultery,  and  walk  in  lies:  they 
strengthen  also  the  hands  of  evil- 
doers, that  none  doth  return 
from  his  wickedness:  they  are 
all  of  them  unto  me  as  ^Sod'om, 
and  the  inhabitants  thereof  as 
^G6-m6r'rah. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts  concerning  the 
"prophets;  Behold,  *I  will  feed 
them  with  ^wormwood,  and 
make  them  drink  the  water  of 
'^'gall:  for  ''from  the  ^prophets  of 
Je-rii'sa-lem  is  profaneness  gone 
forth  into  all  the  land. 

16  Thus  'saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  Hearken  not  unto  the 
words  of  the  "prophets  that 
prophesy  unto  you:  they  "make 
you  vain :  ''they  speak  a  vision  of 
their  own  heart,  and  not  out  of 
the  mouth  of  the  Lord, 

17  "'''They  say  still  unto  them 
that  despise  me.  The  Lord  hath 
said,  Ye  shall  have  peace;  and 
they  say  unto  every  one  that 
walketh  after  the  ^''imagination 
of  his  own  heart.  No  evil  shall 
come  upon  you. 

18  For  who  hath  stood  in  the 
^counsel  of  the  Lord,  and  hath 
perceived  and  heard  his  word  ? 
who  hath  marked  his  word,  and 
iieard  it  ? 

19  Behold,  a  whirlwind  of  the 
Lord  is  gone  forth  in  fury,  even 
a  grievous  whirlwind:  ''it  shall 
fall  grievously  upon  the  head  of 
the  wicked. 

20  The  %nger  of  the  Lord 
shall  not  return,  until  he  have 
''executed,  and  till  he  have  j^er- 
formed  the  thoughts  of  his  heart: 
in  the  latter  days  ye  shall  con- 
sider it  perfectly. 

21  I  have  not  sent  these 
'^•"prophets,  yet  they  ran:  I  have 
not  spoken  to  them,  yet  they 
prophesied.

22  But  if  they  had  stood  in  my 
^counsel,  and  had  caused  my 
people  to  hear  my  words,  then 
they  should  have  turned  them 
from  their  evil  way,  and  from  the 
evil  of  their  doings. 

23  Mm  I  a  God  at  hand,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  not  a  God  afar 
off? 

24  '^•'Can  any  hide  himself  in 
secret  places  that  I  shall  not  see 
liim  ?  saith  the  Lord.  Do  not  I 
fill  '"heaven  and  earth  ?  saith  the 
Lord. 

25  I  have  heard  what  the 
prophets  said,  that  prophesy 
"lies  in  my  name,  saying,  I  have 
"dreamed,  I  have  dreamed. 

26  How  long  shall  this  be  in  the 
heart  of  the^prophets  that  proph- 
esy'^lies  ?  yea,  ihcy  are  prophets  of 
the  "deceit  of  their  own  heart; 

27  Which  think  to  ^cause  my 
people  to  ^forget  my  name  by 
their  "dreams  which  they  tell 
every  man  to  his  neighbour,  as 
their  fathers  have  ^forgotten  my 
name  for  ^Ba'al. 

28  The  ^prophet  that  hath  a 
"dream,  let  him  tell  a  dream;  and 
he  that  hath  my  word,  let  him 
speak  my  word  faithfully.  What 
is  the  ^chaff  to  the  wheat  ?  saith 
the  Lord. 

29  Is  not  my  word  like  as  a 
fire  ?  saith  the  Lord;  and  like  a 
hammer  that  breaketh  the  rock 
in  pieces  ? 

30  Therefore,  behold,  I  avi 
against  the  "prophets,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  steal  my  words  every 
one  from  his  neighbour. 

31  Behold,  I  am  against  the 
"prophets,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
use  their  tongues,  and  say.  He 
saith. 

32  Behold,  I  am  against  "them 
that  prophesy  false  "dreams, 
saith  the  Lord,  and  do  tell 
them,  and  *cause  my  people  to 
err  by  their  "lies,  and  by  their 

|^°lightness;  yet  I  sent  them  not, 


nor  commanded  them :  therefore 
they  shall  not  profit  this  people 
at  all,  saith  the  Lord. 

33  Tf  And  when  this  people,  or 
the  prophet,  or  a  priest,  shall  ask 
thee,  saying.  What  is  the  burden 
of  the  Lord  ?  thou  shalt  then 
say  unto  them,  W'hat  burden  ?  I 
will  even  ''forsake  you,  saith  the 
Lord. 

34  And  as  for  the  prophet,  and 
the  priest,  and  the  people,  that 
shall  say,  The  burden  of  the 
Lord,  I  will  even  ''punish  that 
man  and  his  house. 

35  Thus  shall  ye  say  every  one 
to  his  neighbour,  and  ever}^  one 
to  his  brother,  Wliat  hath  the 
Lord  answered  ?  and,  What 
hath  the  Lord  spoken  ? 

3G  And  the  burden  of  the  Lord 
shall  ye  mention  no  more:  for 
every  man's  word  shall  be  his 
burden;  for  ye  have  perverted 
the  words  of  the  living  God,  of 
the  Lord  of  hosts  our  God. 

37  Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  the 
prophet,  What  hath  the  Lord 
answered  thee  ?  and.  What  hath 
the  Lord  spoken  ? 

38  But  "since  ye  say,  The  bur- 
den of  the  Lord;  therefore  thus 
.saith  the  Lord;  Because  ye  say 
this  woT-d,  The  burden  of  the 
Lord,  and  I  have  sent  unto 
you,  saying.  Ye  shall  not  say. 
The  burden  of  the  Lord; 

39  Therefore,  behold,  I,  even  I, 
will  utterly  *forget  you,  and  I 
will  *forsake  you,  and  the  city 
that  I  gave  you  and  your  fathers, 
and  ''cast  you  out  of  my  presence: 

40  And  I  will  bring  an  ever- 
lasting ''reproach  upon  you,  and 
a  perpetual  shame,  which  shall 
not  be  forgotten.

Lord,  after  that  ''Neb-u-chad-

the  son  of  *Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of 
'Ju'dah,  and  the  princes  of  Ju'- 
dah,  with  the  'carpenters  and 
^smiths,  from  'Je-rii'sa-lem,  antl 
had  brought  them  to  Bab'y-lon. 

2  One  l)asket  had  very  good 
''figs,  even  like  the  figs  that  arc 
first  ripe:  and  the  other  basket 
had  very  ^naughty  figs,  which 
could  not  be  eaten,  they  were  so 
bad. 

3  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me, 
What  seest  thou,  "Jer-e-ml'ah  ? 
And  I  said,  Tigs;  the  good  figs, 
very  good;  and  the  evil,  very 
evil,  that  cannot  be  eaten,  they 
are  so  evil. 

4  1|  Again  the  '"word  of  the 
Lord  Vame  unto  °me,  saying, 

5  Thus  saith  tiie  Lord,  the 
God  of  L^'ra-el;  "Like  these 
good  '''^figs,  so  will  I  ^acknowl- 
edge '"them  that  are  carried 
away  'captive  of  Ju'dah,  whom 
I  have  ^sent  out  of  this  place 
into  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'an.s 
'■for  their  good. 

6  For  I  will  set  mine  eyes  upon 
them  for  good,  and  I  will  *bring 
them  again  to  this  land:  and  I 
will  *build  them,  and  not  pull 
them  down;  and  I  will  *plant 
them,  and  not  pluck  them  up. 

7  And  I  will  'give  them  an  heart 
to  "know  me,  that  I  am.  the 
Lord:  and  ^-'"they  shall  be  ^my 
people,  and  I  will  be  their  God: 
for  they  shall  return  unto  me  with 
their  whole  heart. 

8  ^  And  "as  the  evil  figs,  which 
cannot  be  eaten,  they  are  so  evil; 
surely  thus  saith  the  Lord,  So 
will  I  give  ^Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king 
of  'Ju'dah,  and  his  princes,  and 
the  lesidue  of  ^ Je-ru'sa-lem,  that 
remain  in  this  land,  and  them 
that  dwell  in  the  land  of  ^E'gypt: 

9  And  '^■''I  will  deliver  them  to 
be  ^' "^removed  into  all  the  king- 


doms of  the  earth  for  their  hurt, 
to  be  a  reproach  and  a  proverb,  a 
taunt  and  a  curse,  in  all  places 
whither  I  shall  drive  them. 

10  And  ''I  will  send  the  "^sword, 
the  'famine,  and  the  pestilence, 
among  them,  till  they  be  con- 
sumed from  off  the  lantl  that

''anger  with  the  works  of  your 
hands;  and  I  will  do  you  no  hurt. 

7  Yet  ye  have  "'not  heark- 
ened unto  me,  saith  the  Lord; 
that  ye  might  ^provoke  me  to 
''anger  with  the  works  of  your 
hands  to  your  own  hurt. 

8  T[  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts;  Because  ye  have 
not  heard  my  words, 

9  Behold,  ''I  will  send  and  take 
all  the  families  of  the  north,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  ^Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar  the  king  of  ''Bab'y-lon, 
my  servant,  and  'will  bring  them 
against  this  land,  and  against  the 
inhabitants  thereof,  and  against 
all  these  nations  round  about, 
and  will  utterly  destroy  them,  and 
make  them  an  astonishment,  and 
an  hissing,  and  perpetual  deso- 
lations. 

10  INIoreover  'I  will  take  from 
them  the  voice  of  mirth,  and  the 
voice  of  gladness,  the  voice  of 
the  bridegroom,  and  the  voice  of 
the  bride,  the  soimd  of  the  mill- 
stones, and  the  light  of  the 
"candle. 

11  And  "this  whole  land  shall 
be  a  desolation,  and  an  astonish- 
ment; and  these  'nations  shall 
''serve  the  ^king  of  ''Bab'y-lon 
"'seventy  years. 

12  ^  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  '"seventy  years  are  accom- 
plished, tliat  I  will  punish  the 
''king  of  "Bab'y-lon,  and  that 
'nation,  saith  the  Lord,  for 
their  iniquity,  and  the  land  of 
the  Chal-de'an.s,  and  will  make 
it  perpetual  desolations. 

13  And  'I  will  bring  upon  that 
land  all  my  words  which  I  have 
pronounced  against  it,  even  all 
that  is  written  in  this  ^book, 
which  Jer-e-mi'ah  hath  proph- 
esied against  all  the  nations. 

14  'For  many  nations  and  great 
kings  shall  serve  themselves  of 
them  also:  and  I  will  ^recom- 
pense them  according   to  their 


deeds,  and  according  to  the  works 
of  their  own  hands. 

15  t  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el  unto  me;  Take 
the  wine  ^cup  of  this  "fury  at  my 
hand,  and  cause  all  the  ''nations,

'■'^be  moved,  and  be  mad,  be- 
cause of  the  ''sword  that  I  will 
send  among  them. 

17  Then  took  I  the  ^cup  at  the 
Lord's  hand,  and  made  all  the

not  hearken  to  me,   to 
my  law,  which  I  have 


ye  will 

walk  in 

set   before  you, 

5  To  hearken  to  the  words  of 
my  servants  the  prophets,  whom 
I  sent  unto  you,  both  rising  up 
early,  and  sending  them,  but  ye 
have  'not  hearkened; 

6  Then  will  I  make  this  house 
like  '"Shi'loh,  and  will  make  "this 
city  a  curse  to  all  the  nations  of 
the  earth. 

7  So  the  })riests  and  the  proph- 
ets and  all  the  people  heard  '' Jer- 
e-mi'ah  "-^speaking  these  words 
in  the  ''house  of  the  Lord. 

8  T[  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
'' Jer-e-ml'ah  had  made  an  end  of 
"speaking  all  that  the  Lord  had 
commanded  him  to  speak  unto 
all  the  people,  that  the  ^priests 
and  the  ''prophets  and  all  the 
people  ''*tookhim,  saying,  Thou 
shalt  surely  die. 

9  Why  hast  thou  prophesied  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord,  saying, 
This  "house  shall  be  like  "'Shl'- 
loh,  and  "this  city  shall  he  deso- 
late without  an  inhabitant  ?  And 
all  the  people  were  gathered 
'against  Jer-e-ml'ah  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

10  ^  When  the  princes  of  Ju'- 
dah  heard  these  things,  then 
they  came  up  from  the  king's 
'house  unto  the  ''house  of  the 
Lord-  and  sat  down  in  the  entry 
of  the  new  gate  of  the  Lord's 
house. 

1 1  Then  *spake  the  '^priests  and 
the  ''prophets  unto  the  princes 
and  to  all  the  people,  saying, 
This  man  is  worthy  to  die;  for 
"he  hath  prophesied  against  this 
city,  as  ye  have  heard  with  your 
ears. 

12  T[  Then  ''spake  ''■"Jer-e-mf- 
ah  unto  all  the  princes  and  to  all 
the  people,  '"saying.  The  Lord 
sent  me  to  prophesy  against  this 
house  and  against  this  city  all 
the  words  that  ve  have  heard. 


13  ^Therefore  now  ^'^^ 'amend 
your  ways  and  your  doings,  and 
"obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
your  God;  and  the  Lord  will 
''repent  him  of  the  evil  that  he 
hath  pronounced  against  you. 

14  '^As  for  me,  behold,  I  am  in 
your  hand:  do  with  me  as  seem- 
eth  good  and  meet  unto  you. 

15  But  know  ye  for  certain,  that 
if  ye  ''put  me  to  death,  ye  shall 
surely  bring  innocent  blood  upon 
yourselves,  and  upon  this  city, 
and  upon  the  inhabitants  there- 
of: for  '"of  a  truth  the  Lord  hath 
sent  me  unto  you  to  speak  all 
these  words  in  your  ears. 

IG  1[  Then  said  the  princes  and 
all  the  j)eo])le  unto  the  ''priests 
and  to  the  ''prophets;  ''This  man 
is  not  worthy  to  die:  for  '^he  hath 
spoken  to  us  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord  our  God. 

]  7  ''Then  rose  up  certain  of  the 
elders  of  the  land,  and  spake  to 
all  the  assembly  of  the  peo])le, 
saying, 

18  'Mi'cah  the  Mf/ras-thlte 
[)rophesicd  in  the  days  of  ^IIcz-c- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  sjiake 
to  all  the  people  of  Ju'dah,  say- 
ing, ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  Zi'on  shall  be  ])lowed  li/cr 
a  field,  and  'Je-rii'sa-lem  shall 
become  heaps,  and  the  mountain 
of  the  house  as  the  high  places 
of  a  forest. 

19  Did  Tlez-e-kl'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  and  all  Ju'dah  put  him  at 
all  to  death  ?  did  he  not  "'fear  the 
Lord,  and  "besought  the  Lord, 
and  the  Lord  ''repented  him 
of  the  evil  which  he  had  pro- 
nounced against  them  ?  Thus 
^might  we  procure  great  evil 
against  our  souls. 

20  And  there  was  also  a  man 
that  prophesied  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord,  IJ-rl'jah  the  son  of 
Shem-a-l'ah  of  "Kir'jath-jc'a-

king,  with  all  his  mighty  men, 
and  all  the  princes,  heard  his 
words,  the  king  '^sought  to  put 
him  to  death :  but  when  U-ri'jah 
heard  it,  he  was  afraid,  and  fled,

saith  the  Lord,  yet  they  proph- 
esy a  ''lie  in  my  name;  that  I 
might  drive  you  out,  and  that  ye 
miglit  perish,  ye,  and  the  proph- 
ets that  prophesy  unto  you. 

16  Also  I  spake  to  the  priests 
and  to  all  this  people,  saying, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Hearken 
not  to  the  words  of  your  'proph- 
ets that  prophesy  unto  you,  say- 
ing. Behold,  the  vessels  of  the 
''Lord's  house  shall  now  shortly 
be  brought  again  from  '"Bab'y- 
lon  :  for  they  prophesy  a  ''lie  unto 
you. 

17  Hearken  not  unto  them; 
serve  the  king  of  '^Bab'y-lon,  and 
live:  wherefore  should  this  city 
be  laid  waste  ? 

18  But  if  they  be  prophets,  and 
if  the  word  of  the  Lord  be  with 
them,  let  them  now  make  ^in- 
tercession to  the  Lord  of  hosts,

Judah.  b  Jcrrinifih  rebukes  him.  10 
llnnaninh  prrdirts  the  deliverance  of  all 
nations  from  Nebuchadnezzar's  yoke. 
12  .Jeremiah  declares  the  contrary:  15  a7id 
foretells  the  death  of  the  false  prophet. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  the  same 
year,  in  the  beginning  of 
the  reign  of  "Zed-e-kl'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  in  the  fourth  year,  and 
in  the  fifth  "month,  ihat  '^Han-a- 
nl'ah  the  son  of  A'zur  the  proph- 
et, which  was  of  '^Gib'e-on,  spake 
unto  *me  in  the  ^'"hou.se  of  the 
Lord,  in  the  presence  of  the 
priests  and  of  all  the  people, 
saying, 
2  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of 


hosts,  the  (irod  of  Is'ra-el,  say- 
ing, I  have  broken  the  ''yoke  of 
the  'king  of  'Bab'y-lon. 

3  Within  two  full  years  will  I 
bring  again  into  this  place  all  the 
vessels  of  the  ''■"Lord's  house, 
that  *Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of 
'Bab'y-lon  took  away  from  this 
place,  and  carried  them  to  Bab'- 
y-lon : 

4  And  I  will  bring  again  to 
this  place  *Jec-o-nl'ah  the  son 
of  'Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'- 
dah,  with  all  the  '"captives  of 
Ju'dah,  that  went  into  'Bab'y- 
lon,  saith  the  Lord:  for  I  will 
break  the  ''yoke  of  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon. 

5  Tl  Then  the  prophet  ^Jer-e- 
mi'ah  said  unto  the  '^prophet 
Han-a-nl'ah  in  the  presence  of 
the  priests,  and  in  the  presence 
of  all  the  people  that  stood  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord, 

6  Even  the  prophet  ^Jer-e-mi'- 
ah  said.  Amen:  the  Lord  do 
•so:  the  Lord  perform  thy  words 
which  thou  hast  prophesied,  to 
l)ring  again  the  vessels  of  the 
'■^Lord's  house,  and  all  that 
is  carried  away  '"captive,  from 
Bab'y-lon  into  this  place. 

7  Nevertheless  hear  thou  now 
this  word  that  I  speak  in  thine 
ears,  and  in  the  ears  of  all  the 
people; 

S  The  prophets  that  have  been 
before  me  and  before  thee  of  old 
proi)hesied  both  against  many 
countries,  and  against  great 
kingdoms,  of  war,  and  of  evil, 
and  of  pestilence. 

9  The  prophet  which  prophesi- 
eth  of  peace,  when  the  word  of 
the  prophet  shall  come  to  pass, 
ihcn  shall  the  prophet  be  known, 
that  the  Lord  hath  truly  sent 
him.

and  brake  it. 

11  And  '^H3,n-a-ni'ah  spake  in 
the  presence  of  all  the  people, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Even  so  will  I  break  the  "yoke 
of  ^Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of 
^Bab'y-lon  from  the  neck  of  all 
nations  within  the  space  of  two 
full  years.  And  the  prophet  *Jer- 
e-ml'ah  went  his  way. 

12  ^  Then  the  word  of  the 
Lord  "came  unto  *^Jer-e-ml'ah 
the  prophet,  after  that  Han-a-ni'- 
ah  the  ''prophet  had  broken  the 
''yoke  from  oft  the  neck  of  the 
[jrophet  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

13  "Go  and  tell  Han-a-iiT'ah, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Thou  hast  broken  the  "yokes  of 
wood;  but  thou  shalt  make  for 
them  "yokes  of  iron. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  I.s'ra-el;  "I 
have  put  a  "yoke  of  iron  u])on 
the  neck  of  all  these  nations, 
that  they  may  serve  *Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  king  of  'Bab'y-lon; 
and  they  shall  serve  him:  and  I 
have  given  him  the  beasts  of 
the  field  also. 

15  Tl  Then  said  the  prophet 
^Jer-e-ml'ah  unto  Han-a-nl'ah 
the  ''prophet,  ^Hear  now,  Han-a- 
ni'ah;  The  Lord  hath  not  sent 
thee;  but  thou  'makest  this  peo- 
ple to  '^trust  in  a  *lie. 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  'cast  thee 
from  off  the  face  of  the  earth: 
this  year  'thou  shalt  die,  be- 
cause thou  hast  taught  rebellion 
against  the  Lord. 

17  So  Han-a-nl'ah  the  ''prophet 
died  the  same  year  in  the  sev- 
enth month. 


CHAPTER  29

Zedekiah,  two  false  prophets,  foretold. 
24  Shemaiah's  letters  against  Jeremiah. 
30  Jeremiah  declares  liis  doom.

the  prophet  sent  from  "Je-ru'- 
sa-lem  unto  the  residue  of  the 
elders  which  were  carried  away

and  to  the  prophets,  and  to  all 
the  people  whom  ''Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar  had  carried  away  captive 
from  Je-ru'sa,-lem  to  ''Bab'y-lon ; 

2  (After  that  "Jec-o-nl'ah  the

'eunuchs,  the  princes  of  Ju'dah 
and  Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  the  'car-

3  By  the  hand  of  El'a-sah 
the  son  of  Sha'phan,  and  Gcm-

(whom  'Zed-e-kl'ah  king  of

city  whither  '"I  have  caused  you 
to  be  carried  away  '^captives,  and 
''•^pray  unto  the  Lord  '^for  it: 
for  in  the  peace  thereof  shall  ye 
have  peace. 

8  t  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Let  not 
your  *proj)hets  and  your  'divin- 
ers, that  he  in  the  midst  of  you, 
deceive  you,  neither  hearken  to 
your  "dreams  which  ye  cause  to 
be  dreamed. 

9  For  •'they  prophesy  falsely  un- 
to you  in  my  name:  I  have  not 
sent  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  *[[  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Tliat  after  ''•^seventy  years  be 
accomplished  at  ^Bab'y-lon  "I 
will  visit  you,  and  ^perform  my 
2;ood  word  toward  you,  ^'  ^  in  caus- 
m^  you  to  return  to  this  place. 

11  For  I  know  the  thoughts 
that  "I  think  toward  you,  saith 
the  Lord,  thoughts  of  ^peace, 
and  not  of  evil,  to  give  you  'an 
expected  end. 

12  Then  shall  ye  call  U])on  me, 
and  ye  shall  go  and  pray  unto 
me,  and  *I  will  hearken  unto 
you. 

13  And  "^ye  shall  ''seek  me,  and 
find  me,  when  ye  shall  search  for 
me  with  all  your  heart. 

14  And  I  will  be  found  of  you, 
saith  the  Lord:  and  ^I  will  ''turn 
away  your  ''captivity,  and  I  will 
gather  you  from  all  the  nations, 
and  from  all  the  places  whither  I 
have  driven  you, saith  the  Lord; 
and  ''I  will  bring  you  again  into 
the  place  whence  I  caused  you  to 
be  carried  away  captive. 

15  ^  Because  ye  have  said,  The 
Lord  hath  raised  us  up  proph- 
ets in  Bab'y-lon; 

16  Know  that  thus  saith  th(» 
Lord  of  the  king  that  sitteth  up- 
on the  throne  of  Da'vid,  and  of 
all  the  people  that  dwelleth  in 


this  city,  and  of  your  brethren 
that  are  not  gone  forth  with  you 
into  "captivity; 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  Behold,  'I  will  send  upon 
them  the^sword,  the  'famine, and 
the  pestilence,  and  will  make 
tliem  like  vile  figs,  that  cannot 
be  eaten,  they  are  so  evil. 

18  And  I  will  persecute  them 
with  the  ^sword,  with  the  'fam- 
ine, and  with  the  pestilence,  and 
will  deliver  them  to  be  "''remov- 
ed to  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth,  to  be  a  curse,  and  an 
astonishment,  and  an  hissing, 
and  a  rej^roach,  among  all  the 
nations  whither  I  have  driven 
them : 

19  Because  they  have  "'not 
hearkened  to  my  words,  saith  the 
Lord,  which  I  sent  unto  them 
by  my  servants  the  prophets,  ris- 
ing up  early  and  sending  them; 
but  ye  would  not  hear,  saith 
the  Lord. 

20  \  Hear  ye  therefore  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  all  ye  of  the  "cap- 
tivity, whom  I  have  sent  from 
'Me-ni'sa-lem  to  "Bab'y-lon : 

21  'i'hus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  I§'ra-el,  of 
A'hilb  the  son  of  Kol-a-i'ah, 
and  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of 
Mil-a-se'iah,  which  prophesy  a 
''lie  unto  you  in  my  name;  Be- 
hold, *I  will  deliver  them  into 
the  hand  of  '^Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  "Brib'y-lon;  and  he  shall 
slay  them  before  your  eyes; 

22  And  of  them  shall  be  taken 
up  a  curse  by  all  the  "captivity  of 
Ju'dah  which  are  in  Bab'y-lon, 
saying.  The  T^ord  make  thee 
like  Zed-e-kl'ah  and  like  A'h3,b, 
whom  the  ''king  of  "Bab'y-lon 
roasted  in  the  fire;

Lord. 

24  ^  Thus  slialt  ''thou  also 
sjieak  to  Shein-a-I'ah  the  Ne- 
hel'a-mlte,  saying, 

25  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  tlie  God  of  Ls'ra-cl,  saying, 
Because  thou  hast  sent  "letters 
in  thy  name  unto  all  the  people 
that  are  at  Jc-ni'sa-lem,  and  to 
"Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  ^'Ala-a-

priests,  saying, 

26  The  Lord  hath  made  thee 
priest  in  the  stead  of  Je-hoi'a-da

ficers in  the  ^house  of  the  Lord, 
for  every  man  fliat  is  mad,  and 
maketh  himself  a  prophet,  that 
thou  shouldest  put  him  in  ""pris- 
on,  and  ^in  the  stocks. 

27  Now  therefore  why  hast 
thou  not  reproved  "Jer-e-ml'ah 
of  *An'a-th6th,  which  maketh 
himself  a  prophet  to  you  ? 

28  For  therefore  he  sent  un- 
to us  m  '^Bab'y-lon,  saying, 
This  '^captivifi/  is  long:  build 
ye  houses,  and  dwell  in  them; 
and  '^plant  gardens,  and  eat  the 
fruit  of  them. 

29  And  '^Zeph-a-nl'ah  the  priest 
read  this  letter  in  the  ears  of

of  the  Lord  unto  °Jer-e-mi'ah,

tivity,  saying,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  'Shem-a-i'ah 
the  Ne-hel'a-ralte;  Because  that 
Shem-a-i'ah  hath  prophesied 
unto  you,  and  I  sent  him  not, 
and  he  'caused  you  to  ^trust  in 
a  'lie: 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  'punish 


Sliem-a-l'ah  the  Ne-hel'a-mlte, 
and  his  seed:  he  shall  not  have 
a  man  to  dwell  among  this  peo- 
ple; neither  shall  he  behold  the 
good  that  I  will  do  for  my  peo- 
ple, saith  the  Lord;  because  he 
hath  taught  rebellion  against  the 
Lord. 

CHAPTER  30 

The  return  of  Israel  predicted.  10  Israel 
comforted  ivith  assurances  of  quietness 
and  protection.  18  Their  former  privi- 
leges to  be  restored. 

THE  '^word  that  came  to  *  Jer- 
e-ml'ah  from    the    Lord, 
saying, 

2  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  Write  thee  all 
the  '^words  that  I  have  spoken 
unto  thee  in  a  ''book. 

3  For,  lo,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  '^i  will  bring 
again  the  ''captivity  of  my  people 
"Ts'ra-el  and  ''Ju'dah,  saith  the 
Lord:  and  ''I  will  cause  them  to 
return  to  the  '^■•'land  that  I  gave 
to  their  fathers,  and  they  shall 
possess  it. 

4  ^  And  these  are  the  words 
that  the  Lord  spake  concerning 
"Ls'ra-el  and  concerning  *Ju'- 
dah. 

5  For  thus  saith  the  Lord;  We 
have  heard  a  voice  of  trembling, 
of  fear,  and  not  of  peace. 

6  Ask  ye  now,  and  see  whether 
a  man  doth  travail  with  child  ? 
^'wherefore  do  I  see  every  man 
with  his  hands  on  his  loins,  as  a 
woman  in  travail,  and  all  faces 
are  turned  into  paleness  ? 

7  Alas!  for  that  day  is  great,  so 
that  none  is  like  it:  it  is  even 
the  time  of  Ja'cob's  trouble ;  but 
*''''• 'he  shall  be  saved  out  of  it. 

8  For  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
that  "'I  will  break  his  "yoke  from 
off  thy  neck,  and  will  burst  thy 
bonds,  and  strangers  shall  no 
more  serve  themselves   of  him:

^king,  ^whom  I  will  rai.se  up  unto 
them. 

10  Therefore  fear  thou  not, 
O  my  servant  Ja'cob,  saith  the 
Lord;  neither  be  di.smayed,  O 
Ls'ra-el:  for,  lo,  <'•"■'!  will  '"save 
thee  from  afar,  and  thy  seed  from 
the  land  of  their  ^captivity;  and 
Ja'cob  shall  return,  and  '•''shall 
be  in  rest,  and  be  quiet,  and 
none  shall  make  Jtim  afraid 

1 1  For  I  avi  with  thee,  saith  the 
Lord,  to  '"save  thee:  though  I 
make  a  full  end  of  all  nations 
whither  I  have  ^scattered  thee, 
yet  'will  I  not  make  a  full  end  of 
thee:  but  I  will  "correct  thee  Hn 
measure,  and  will  not  leave  thee 
altogether  unpunished. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Thy  "^bruise  is  incurable,  a7id  thy 
wound  is  grievous. 

13  There  is  none  to  plead  thy 
cause,  that  thou  mayest  be 
bound  up:  thou  hast  no  healing 
""•  ^medicines. 

14  All  thy  lovers  have  forgot- 
ten thee;  they  seek  thee  not;  for 
^I  have  ^wounded  thee  with  the 
wound  of  an  enemy,  with  the 
chastisement  of  a  cruel  one,  for 
the  multitude  of  thine  iniquity; 
because  thy  sins  were  increased. 

15  Why  criest  thou  for  thine 
affliction  ?  thy  sorrow  is  incur- 
able for  the  multitude  of  thine 
iniquity:  "•^because  thy  sins  were 
increased,  I  have  done  these 
things  unto  thee. 

16  Therefore  all  they  that  de- 
vour thee  shall  be  devoured;  and 
all  thine  adversaries,  every  one 
of  them,  shall  go  into  "captivity; 
and  they  that  spoil  thee  shall  be 
a  spoil,  and  all  that  prey  upon 
thee  will  I  give  for  a  prey. 

17  For  *I  will  restore  health 
unto  thee,  and  I  will  heal  thee 
of  thy  wounds,  saith  the  Lord; 
because  they  called  thee  an  Out- 
cast, saying,  This  is'  Zfon,  whom 
no  man  seeketh  after. 


IS  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Be- 
hold, '1  will  ''bring  again  the 
captivity  of  Ja'cob's  tents,  and 
have  "mercy  on  his  dwelling- 
places;  and  the  ^city  shall  be 
''builded  upon  her  own  heap, 
and  the  palace  shall  remain  after 
the  manner  thereof. 

19  And  out  of  them  shall  pro- 
ceed ^thanksgiving  and  the  voice 
of  them  that  make  merry:  and 
T  will  ''multiply  them,  and  they 
shall  not  be  few;  I  will  also  glor- 
ify them,  and  they  shall  not  be 
small. 

20  ''Their  children  also  shall  be 
as  aforetime,  and  their  congre- 
gation shall  be  established  be- 
fore me,  and  I  will  punish  all 
that  oppress  them. 

21  And  their  nobles  shall  be 
of  themselves,  and  their  ''gover- 
nor shall  proceed  from  the  midst 
of  them;  and  I  will  cause  him

sword  found  ''grace  in  the  wil-

went   to  cause  him   to  rest. 

3  Tile  Lord  liatli  appeared  of 
old  unto  me,  saijing,  Yea,  I  have 
"loved  thee  witli  an  everlastinc; 
love:  therefore  with  lovingkind- 
ness  have  I  drawn  thee. 

4  Again  I  will  build  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  be  built,  O  ^virgin 
of  Is'ra-el:  thou  shalt  again  be 
adorned  with  thy  ''tabrets,  and 
shalt  go  forth  in  the  ''dances  of 
them  that  make  merry. 

5  Thou  shalt  yet  'plant  'vines 
upon  the  mountains  of  ^Sa- 
ma'ri-a:  the  planters  shall  plant, 
and  shall  'eat  them  as  common 
things. 

6  For  *• ''there  shall  be  a 
day,  that  the  'watchman  upon 
the  ^mount  E'phra-im  shall  cry. 
Arise  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to 
'"Zl'on  unto  the  Lord  our  God. 

7  For  thus  saith  the  LoRi>; 
Sing  with  gladness  for  Ja'cob, 
and  shout  among  tlie  chief  of 
the  nations:  publish  ye,  "praise 
ye,  and  say,  O  Lord,  save  thy 
people,  the  remnant  of  Ls'ra-el. 

8  Behold,  I  will  bring  "•'"them 
from  the  north  country,  and 
gatlier  them  from  the  ^coasts  of 
the  earth,  aud  with  them  the 
"blind  and  the  ''lame,  the  woman 
with  child  and  her  that  travaileth 
with  child  together:  a  great  com- 
pany shall  return  thither. 

9  ''■'"They  shall  come  Avith 
'weeping,  and  with  ''supplica- 
tions will  I  *lead  them:  I  will 
cause  them  to  walk  by  the  riv- 
ers of  waters  in  a  straight  way, 
wherein  they  shall  not  stumble: 
for  "1  am  a  'father  to  Is'ra-el, 
and  E'phra-Tm  is  "my  "firstborn. 


10  \  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  O  ye  nations,  and  de- 
clare it  in  the  isles  afar  olf,  and 
say,  He  that  "scattered  "•'^T.s'ra-el 
""will  gather  ''•"him,  and  *keep 
him,  as  a  *shepherd  doth  his 
flock. 

11  For  the  Lord  hath  ^re- 
deemed Ja'cob,  and  ransomed 
him  from  the  hand  of  him  tJtat 
was  stronger  than  he. 

12  Therefore  ''•''tliey  shall  come 
and  shig  in  the  height  of  Zi'oii, 
and  shall  flow  together  to  the 
goodness  of  the  Lord,  for 
wheat,  and  for  wine,  and  for 
oil,  aiid  for  the  young  of  the 
flock  and  of  the  herd:  and  ^their 
soul  shall  be  as  a  watered  gar- 
den; and  they  shall  not  sorrow 
any  more  at  all. 

13  Then  shall  the  virgin  're- 
joice in  the  "dance,  both  *young 
men  and  old  together:  for  I  will 
turn  their  mourning  into  joy, 
and  will  "^comfort  them,  and 
make  them  rejoice  from  their 
sorrow. 

14  And  I  win  satiate  the  soul  of 
the  priests  with  fatness,  and  ''my 
pe0])le  shall  be  satisfied  with  my 
goodness,  saith  the  Lord. 

15  T[  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
"■''A  voice  was  heard  in  ''Ra'mah, 
''lamentation,  and  bitter  'weep- 
ing; Ra'hel  weeping  for  her  chil- 
dren refused  to  be  comforted  for 
her  children,  because  they  were 
not. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Re- 
frain thy  voice  from  weeping, 
and  thine  eyes  from  tears:  for 
'thy  work  shall  be  rewarded, 
saith  the  Lord;  and  ^-'they  shall

their  own  border. 

18  t  I  have  surely  heard  "'E'- 
phra-im  bemoaning  himself 
thus;  "'"Thou  hast  ^chastLsed 
me,  and  I  was  ''chastised,  as  a 
l)uIlock  unaccustomed  to  the 
yoke:  turn  thou  me,  and  I  shall 
be  turned;  for  thou  art  the 
TjORD  my  God. 

19  'Surely  after  that  I  was  turn- 
ed, I  ''■^repented;  and  after  that 
1  was  instructed,  I  smote  upon 
my  thigh:  I  was  ashamed,  yea, 
even  confounded,  because  I  did 
bear  the  reproach  of  my  youth. 

20  Is  '"E'phra-im  my  dear  son  ? 
is  he  a  pleasant  child  ?  for  ''since 
I  spake  against  him,  I  do  ear- 
nestly remember  him  still:  there- 
fore my  ^bowels  ^are  troubled  for 
him;  I  will  surely  have  "mercy 
upon  him,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  Set  thee  up  waymarks,  make 
thee  *high  heaps:  set  thine  heart 
toward  the  highway,  even  the 
way  tvhich  thou  wentest:  turn 
again,  O  virgin  of  Ts'ra-el,  turn 
again  to  these  thy  cities. 

22  ^  How  long  wilt  thou  go 
about,  O  thou  ^backsliding 
daughter?  for  the  Lord  hath 
created  a  new  thing  in  the  earth, 
A  woman  shall  Vompass  a  man.

hosts,  the  God  of  I.s'ra-el;  As  yet 
they  shall  u.se  this  speech  in  the 
land  of  *"  Ju'dah  and  in  the  cities 
thereof,  when  I  shall  bring  again 
their  ^captivity;  ''The  Lord

saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  sow

them,  ^to  pluck  up,  and  to  break 
down,  and  to  throw  down,  and 
to  destroy,  and  to  afflict;  so  "will 
I  watch  over  them,  to  build,  and

''light  by  ^day,  and  the  ''ordi- 
nances of  the  *moon  and  of  the 
'stars  for  a  light  by  ''night,  which 
divideth  the  ''sea  when  the  waves 
thereof  roar;  The  Lord  of  hosts 
is  his  name: 

36  ^If  those  ''ordinances  depart 
from  before  me,  saith  the  Lord, 
then  the  seed  of  Is'ra-el  also 
shall  cease  from  being  a  nation 
before  me  for  ever. 

37  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  'If 
^leaven  above  can  be  measured, 
and  the  ^foundations  of  the  earth 
searched  out  beneath,  I  will  also 
cast  off  all  the  seed  of  Is'ra-el  for 
all  that  they  have  done,  saith  the 
Lord. 

38  ^  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  I.,ord,  that  'the  city 
shall  be  built  to  the  Lord  from 
the  "'tower  of  Hil-nan'e-el  unto 
the  "gate  of  the  corner. 

39  And  the  measuring  line  shall 
yet  go  ^forth  over  against  it  upon 
the  hill  Ga'reb,  and  shall  ^com- 
pass about  to  Go'ath. 

40  And  the  whole  valley  of  the 
dead  bodies,  and  of  the  ashes, 
and  all  the  fields  unto  the  brook 
of  "Kid'ron,  unto  the  corner  of 
the  "horse  gate  toward  the  east, 
shall  he  holy  unto  the  Lord; 
it  shall  not  be  plucked  up,  nor 
thrown  down  any  more  for  ever.

THE  ^vord  that  came  to  "Jer- 
e-ml'ah  from  the  Lord  in 
the   tenth  year  of   '^Zed-e-kl'ah 


king  of  ''Ju'dah,  which  was  the 
eighteenth  year  of  *Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar. 

2  For  then  the  «king  of  'Bab'- 
y-lon's  army  "besieged  '*Je-rii'- 
sa-lem:  and  ''•'Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet  was  '•'^shut  up  in  tlie 
'court  of  the  ^prison,  which  was 
in  the  king  of  jQ'dah's  house. 

3  For  '^Zed-e-kl'ah  king  of  "JQ'- 
dah  had  shut  him  up,  saying, 
^Yherefore  dost  thou  '"prophesy, 
and  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  give  this  city  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  'Bab'y- 
lon,  and  he  shall  take  it; 

4  And  ^Zed-e-kl'ah  king  of  "  Ju'- 
dah  shall  not  escape  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  but 
shall  surely  be  "'"delivered  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  'Bab'y- 
lon,  and  shall  speak  with  him 
mouth  to  mouth,  and  his  eyes 
shall  behold  his  eyes; 

5  And  he  shall  lead  '^Zed-e-kl'ah 
to  ^Bab'y-lon,  and  there  shall  he 
be  until  I  visit  him,  saith  the 
Lord:  though  ye  fight  with  the 
Chal-de^ans,  ye  shall  not  pros- 
per. 

6  ^  And  ''Jer-e-ml'ah  said,  The 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 
me,  saying, 

7  Behold,  Ha-nam'e-el  the  son 
of  Shal'lum  thine  uncle  shall 
come  unto  thee,  saying.  Buy 
thee  my  P' afield  that  is  in  ^\n'a- 
thoth:  for  the  right  of  redemp- 
tion is  thine  to  buy  it. 

8  So  Ha-nam'e-el  mine  uncle's 
son  came  to  me  in  the  'court 
of  the  ^prison  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  said  unto 
me.  Buy  my  ^' afield,  I  pray  thee, 
that  is  in  ''An'a-thoth,  which  is 
in  the  country  of  *Ben'ja-min: 
for  the  right  of  'inheritance  is 
thine,  and  the  redemption  is 
thine;  buy  it  for  thyself.  Then 
I  knew  that  this  tvas  the  word 
of  the  Lord. 

9  And  I  bought  the  ^- afield  of

Ha-nam'e-el  my  uncle's  son,  that 
was  in  ''An'a-thoth,  and  weighed 
him  the  *money,  even  seventeen 
"shekels  of  silver. 

10  And  I  subscribed  the  'evi- 
dence, and  "sealed  it,  and  took 
"'witnesses,  and  weighed  him  the 
*money  in  the  ^balances. 

11  So  I  took  the  "evidence  of 
the  purchase,  both  that  which 
was  ''sealed  according  to  the  law 
and  custom,  and  that  which  was 
open : 

12  And  I  gave  the  -evidence  of 
the  purchase  unto  ^Ba'nich  the 
son  of  Ne-ri'ah,  the  son  of  ^Ma- 
a-se'iah,  in  the  sight  of  Ha-nain'- 
e-el  mine  uncle's  son,  and  in  the 
presence  of  the  '^witnesses  that 
subscribed  the  ^book  of  the  pur- 
chase, before  all  the  Jews  that 
sat  in  the  *court  of  the  ^prison. 

13  1  And  I  charged  '^Ba'ruch 
before  them,  saying, 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Take 
these  evidences,  this  ^evidence 
of  the  purchase,  both  which  is 
sealed,  and  this  ^evidence  which 
is  open;  and  put  them  in  an 
earthen  vessel,  that  they  may 
continue  many  days. 

15  For  thus  '^saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el; 
''Houses  and  fields  and  vine- 
yards shall  be  possessed  again  in 
this  land. 

16  T[  Now  when  I  had  deliv- 
ered the  ^evidence  of  the  pur- 
chase unto  '^Ba'ruch  the  son  of 
Ne-ri'ah,  I  Sprayed  unto  the 
Lord,  saying, 

17  *Ah  Lord  God!  behold,  thou 
hast  ^made  the  "heaven  and  the 
''earth  by  thy  great  'power  and 


stretched  out  arm,  and  there  is 
nothing  too  hard  for  thee: 

IS  Thou  shewest  ^lovingkind- 
ness  unto  thousands,  and  ''rec- 
ompensest  the  'iniquity  of  the 
fathers  into  the  bo.som  of  their 
children  after  them:  the  Great, 
the  'Mighty  God,  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  is  his  name, 

19  Great  in  counsel,  and 
mighty  in  work:  for  '"thine  eyes 
are  open  upon  all  the  ways  of  the 
sons  of  men:  to  "'"give  every  one 
according  to  his  ways,  and  ac- 
cording to  the  fruit  of  his  doings : 

20  Which  hast  set  ^signs  and 
wonders  in  the  land  of  ^E'gypt, 
even  unto  this  day,  and  in  Ls'- 
ra-el,  and  among  other  men;  and 
^hast  made  thee  a  name,  as  at 
this  day; 

21  And  hast  ''brought  forth  thy 
people  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land 
of  *E'gypt  with  signs,  and  with 
wonders,  and  with  a  strong  hand, 
and  with  a  stretched  out  arm, 
and  with  great  terror; 

22  And  hast  'given  them  this 
"land,  which  thou  didst  "swear 
to  their  fathers  to  give  them,  a 
land  flowing  with  "'milk  and 
■''honey; 

23  And  they  came  in,  and  pos- 
sessed it;  but  they  ^obeyed  not 
thy  voice,  neither  walked  in  thy 
law;  they  have  done  nothing  of 
all  that  thou  coramandedst  them 
to  do :  therefore  thou  hast  caused 
all  this  ^evil  to  come  upon  them : 

24  Behold  the  "mounts,  they 
are  come  unto  the  city  to  take  it; 
and  the  city  is  given  into  the 
hand  of  the  Chal-de'aas,  that 
fight  against  it,  because  of  the 
''sword,  and  of  the  ^famine,  and

of  the  pestilence:  and  what  thou 
hast  spoken  is  come  to  pass;  and, 
behold,  thou  seest  it. 

25  And  thou  hast  said  unto 
"^me,  O  Lord  God,  Buy  thee 
the  field  for  *nioney,  and  take 
witnesses;  for  the  city  is  given 
into  the  hand  of  the  Ch&l-de'ans. 

26  ^  Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  ^.Ter-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

27  Behold,  '^I  am  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  all  flesh:  ^is  there  any 
thing  too  hard  for  me  ? 

28  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  give  this 
'city  into  the  hand  of  the 
Chal-de'ans,  and  into  the  hand 
of  ''Ncb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of 
*Bab'y-lon,  and  he  shall  take  it: 

29  And  the  Chal-de'ans,  that 
fight  against  this  ''city,  shall 
come  and  set  fire  on  this  city, 
and  burn  it  with  the  houses,  up- 
on whose  'roofs  they  have  ''of- 
fered 'incense  unto  '"Ba'al,  and 
''poured  out  drink  offerings  un- 
to other  gods,  to  provoke  me  to 
"anger. 

30  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
and  the  children  of  Ju'dah  have 
only  done  evil  before  me  from 
their  youth:  for  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  have  only  provoked  me 
to  anger  with  the  work  of  their 
hands,  saith  tlie  Lord. 

31  For  this  "city  hath  been  to 
me  as  a  provocation  of  mine  '*an- 
ger  and  of  my  fury  from  the  day 
that  they  built  it  even  unto  this 
day;  that  I  should  remove  it  from 
before  my  face, 

32  Because  of  all  the  evil  of  the 
children  of  Ls'ra-el  and  of  the 
children  of  Ju'dah,  which  they 
have  done  to  provoke  me  to 
"anger,  they,  their  %ings,  their 
princes,  their  'priests,  and  their 
''prophets,  and  the  men  of  Ju'- 
dah, and  the  inhabitants  of  Je- 
ru'sa-lem. 

33  And  they  have  ^turned  unto 
me  the  back,  and  not  the  face: 


though  I  'taught  them,  rising  up 
early  and  teaching  tJtem,  yet  they 
have  not  hearkened  to  receive 
instruction. 

34  But  they  set  their  ^abomi- 
nations in  the  "house,  which  is 
called  by  my  name,  to  ^'defile  it. 

35  And  they  built  the  '"high 
places  of  '"Ba'al,  which  are  in 
the  *^valley  of  the  son  of  ^Hin'- 
nom,  ^to  cause  their  ''sons  and 
their  daughters  to  pass  through 
llie  fire  unto  ''jNIo'lech;  which  I 
commanded  them  not,  neither 
came  it  into  my  mind,  that  they 
should  do  this  abomination,  to 
cause  Ju'dah  to  sin. 

36  ^  And  now  therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  concerning  this  city, 
whereof  ye  say.  It  shall  be  de- 
livered into  the  hand  of  the  ''king 
of  ''Bab'y-lon  by  the  *sword,  and 
l)y  the  ''famine,  and  by  the  pesti- 
lence; 

37  Behold,  »I  will  gather  them 
out  of  all  countries,  ''whither  I 
have  '^driven  them  in  mine  'an- 
ger, and  in  my  fury,  and  in  great 
wrath;  and  ^I  will  bring  them 
again  unto  this  place,  and  ''I  will 
cause  them  to  dwell  safely: 

38  And  they  shall  be  'my  peo- 
ple, and  '"I  will  be  their  God: 

39  And  I  will  "give  them  one 
Iieart,  and  one  way,  that  they 
may  "fear  me  for  ever,  for  the 
good  of  them,  and  of  their  ''chil- 
dren after  them :

MOREOVER  the  "word  of 
the  Lord  ''came  unto 
''Jer-e-ml'ah  the  second  time, 
while  he  was  yet  '^shut  up  in  the 
'court  of  the  ^prison,  saying, 

2  "Thus  saith  ^the  ^Lord  the 
maker  thereof,  the  Lord  that 
formed  it,  to  establish  it;  the 
Lord  is  his  name; 

3  "Call  unto  me,  and  "-'I  will 
answer  thee,  and  shew  thee 
Vreat  and  mighty  things,  which 
tliou   knowest  not. 

4  For  thus  .saith  the  IvORD,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  concerning  the 
hou.ses  of  diis  ^city,  and  con- 
cerning the  hou.ses  of  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah,  which  are  ^thrown 
down  by  the  ^mounts,  and  l)y 
the    sword ; 

5  They  come  to  fig'it  with  the 
Chal-de'ans,  but  it  is  to  fill  them 
with  the  dead  bodies  of  men, 
whom  I  have  'slain  in  mine  '"an- 
ger and  in  my  fury,  and  for  all 


whose   "wickedness  I   have  hid 
my  face  from  this   city. 

G  Beliold,  "I  will  bring  it  health 
and  cure,  ami  I  will  cure  them, 
and  will  reveal  unto  them  the 
abundance  of  ^jieaee  and  truth. 

7  And  "I  will  cause  the  captiv- 
ity of  Ju'dah  and  the  ca])tivity  of 
Is'ra-el  to  return,  and  will  '^build 
them,  as  at  the  first. 

8  And  *I  will  'cleanse  them 
from  all  their  inif[uity,  whereby 
they  have  sinned  against  me; 
and  I  will  "pardon  all  their 
inicjuities,  whereby  they  have 
sinned,  and  wherel)y  they  have 
transgressed  against  me. 

9  And  "it  shall  be  to  me  a  name 
of  joy,  a  praise  and  an  honour 
before  all  the  nations  of  the 
earth,  which  shall  hear  all  the 
good  that  1  do  unto  them:  and 
they  shall  fear  and  tremble  for 
all  the  goodness  and  for  all  the 
prosperity  that  I  j^rocure  unto  it. 

10  *{]  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Again  there  shall  be  heard  in

be  desolate  without  man  and 
without  beast,  even  in  the  cities 
of  'JuMah,  and  in  the  streets

and  in  the  cities  of  the  south,  and

and  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  shall 
the  flocks  pass  again  under  the 
hands  of  him  that  telleth  the7n, 
saith  the  Lord. 

14  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  ''I  will  perform 
that  good  thing  which  I  have 
promised  unto  the  house  of  Ls'- 
ra-el  and  to  the  house  of  Ju'dah. 

15  ^  In  those  days,  and  at  that 
time,  will  I  cause  the  '"•'^Branch 
of  righteousness  to  grow  up  unto 
^Da'vid;  and  ''he  shall  execute 
judgment  and  righteousness  in 
the  land. 

16  In  those  days  shall  ''Ju'dah 
be  saved,  and  ''Je-ru'sa-lem  shall 
dwell  safely:  and  this  is  the  name 
wherewith  she  shall  be  called, 
The  Lord  our  righteousness. 

17  ^  For  thus  saith  the  Lord; 
"•^Da'vid  shall  never  want  a  man 
to  sit  upon  the  throne  of  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el; 

18  Neither  .shall  the  priests  the 
^Le'vltes  want  a  man  before  me 
to  oft'er  %urnt  oft'erings,  and  to 
^kindle  meat  offerings,  and  to  do 
sacrifice  continually. 

19  ^  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
^came  unto  '  Jer-e-ml'ah,  saying, 

20  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  "If 
ye  can  break  my  covenant  of 
the  day,  and  my  covenant  of  the 
night,  and  '"'"that  there  should 
not  be  day  and  night  in  their 
season ; 

21  The.fi  may  also  my  "covenant 
be  broken  with  Da'vid  my  serv- 
ant, ^that  he  should  not  have  a 
son  to  reign  upon  his  throne;  and 
with  the  ^Le'vltes  the  priests,  my 
ministers. 

22  As  the  %ost  of  heaven  can- 
not be   numbered,   neither  the 


sand  of  the  sea  measured:  ^•'^so 
will  I  multiply  the  seed  of  Da'- 
vid my  servant,  and  the  Le'vites 
that  minister  unto  me. 

23  ^  INIoreover  the  word  of 
the  Lord  *came  to  ^  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
saying, 

24  Considerest  thou  not  what 
this  people  have  spoken,  say- 
ing. The  two  families  which  the 
Lord  hath  chosen,  he  hath  even 
cast  them  off  ?  thus  they  have 
despised  my  people,  that  they 
should  be  no  more  a  nation  be- 
fore them. 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  "If 
my  "''"covenant  ^be  not  with  day 
and  night,  and  if  I  have  not  ap- 
pointed the  ordinances  of  heaven 
and  earth; 

26  Then  will  I  cast  away  the 
seed  of  Ja'cob,  and  Da'vid  my 
servant,  so  that  I  will  not  take 
a7iy  of  his  seed  to  be  rulers  over 
the  seed  of.  A'brS,-ham,  I'.saac, 
and  Ja'cob:  for  *I  will  cause

hand;  and  thine  eyes  shall  be- 
hold the  eyes  of  the  ''king  of 
'^Bah'y-lon,  and  he  shall  speak 
with  thee  mouth  to  mouth,  and 
thou  shalt  go  to  Bab'y-lon. 

4  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  O  "Zed-e-kl'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
thee.  Thou  shalt  not  die  by  the 
sword : 

5  But  thou  shalt  die  in  peace: 
and  with  the  ^'' ^burnings  of  thy 
fathers,  the  former  kings  which 
were  before  thee,  so  shall  they 
^burn  odours  for  thee;  and  they 
will  lament  thee,  saying,  AIi 
lord  !  for  I  have  pronounced  the 
word,  saith  the  Lord. 

6  Then  "'*Jer-e-mi'ah  the  pro- 
phet spake  all  these  words  unto 
"Zed-e-kl'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  in 
Je-rii'sa-lem, 

7  When  the  king  of  '^Bab'y-lon's 
''army  fought  against  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  against  all  the  cities 
of  Ju'dah  that  were  left,  against 
'"La'chish,  and  against  "A-ze'- 
kah:  for  these  defenced  "cities 
remained  of  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

8  T[  This  is  the  word  that  ''came 
unto  *Jer-e-ml'ah  from  the 
Lord,  after  that  the  king  "Zed- 
e-kl'ah  had  made  a  ^•*' ''cove- 
nant with  all  the  people  which 
were  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  *pro- 
claim  'liberty  unto  them; 

9  That  every  man  should  let 
his  "manservant,  and  every  man 
his  maidservant,  being  an  Tle'- 
brew  or  an  He'brew-e.ss,  go  'free ; 
that  none  should  serve  himself 
of  them,  to  wit,  of  a  "'Jew  his 
brother. 

10  Now  when  all  the  princes, 
and  all  the  people,  which  had  en- 
tered into  the  ^covenant,  heard 
that  every  one  should  let  his 
manservant,  and  every  one  his 
maidservant,  go  free,  that  none 
should  serve  themselves  of  them 
any  more,  then  they  obeyed,  and 
let   them  go. 


TO 


11  But  afterward  they  turned, 
and  ^caused  the  servants  and  the 
handmaids,  whom  they  had  let 
go  free,  to  return,  and  ^brought 
them  into  subjection  for  servants 
and  for  handmaids. 

12  T[  Therefore  the  word  of 
the  Lord  "^came  to  *Jer-e-mI'ah 
from  the  Lord,  saying, 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Ls'ra-el;  I  made  a  ^cove- 
nant with  your  fathers  in  the  day 
that  I  ''brought  them  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  ^E'gypt,  out  of  the 
house  of  bondmen,  saying,

ye  '^go  every  man  his  brother 
an  ''He'brew,  which  hath  been 
sold  unto  thee;  and  when  he  hath 
served  thee  six  years,  thou  shalt 
let  him  go  free  from  thee:  but 
your  fathers  -'hearkened  not  unto

words  of  the  covenant  which 
they  had  made  before  me,  when 
they  cut  the  calf  in  twain,  and 
passed  between  the  parts  thereof, 

19  The  princes  of  Ju'dah,  and 
the  princes  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the 
eunuchs,  and  the  priests,  and 
all  the  people  of  the  land,  which 
passed  between  the  parts  of  the

20  I  will  even  '•'"give  them  into

give  into  the  hand  of  their  en- 
emies, and  into  the  hand  of  them

22  Behold,  I  will  command,

to  return  to  this  'city;  and  they 
shall  fight  against  it,  and  take  it, 
and  burn  it  with  fire:  and  I  will 
make  the  cities  of  "Ju'dah  a  des- 
olation without  an  inhabitant. 

CHAPTER  35 

The  obedience  of  the  Bechabites  commended. 
12  The  disobedience  of  Judah  condemned. 
18  Blessings  promised  to  the  Reclwbites. 

THE  word  which  "came  unto 
'' Jer-e-ml'ah  from  the  Lord 
in  the  days  of  ^Je-hoi'a-kim  the 
son  of  ''Jo-sl'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
saying, 

2  Go  unto  the  house  of  the 
*Re'chab-Ites,  and  speak  unto 
them,  and  bring  them  into  the 
*''house  of  the  Lord,  into  one  of 
the  chambers,  and  give  them 
"wine   to  drink. 

3  Then  ''I  took  Ja-iiz-a-nl'ah 
the  son  of  Jfr-e-ml'ah,  the  son 
of  Hab-a-zi-nl'ah,  and  his  breth- 


ren, and  all  his  sons,  and  the 
whole  house  of  the  *Re'chab- 
Ites; 

4  And  I  brought  them  into  the 
'^■'house  of  the  Lord,  into  the 
chamber  of  the  sons  of  Ha'nan, 
the  son  of  Ig-da-li'ah,  a  man  of 
God,  which  was  by  the  chamber 
of  the  princes,  which  was  above 
the  chamber  of  *jMa-a-se'iah  the 
son  of  Shal'lum,  the  ^keeper  of 
the  door: 

5  And  I  set  before  the  sons  of 
the  house  of  the  *Re'chab-Ites 
])ots  full  of  ^wine,  and  cups,  and 
I  said  unto  tliem,  Drink  ye  wine. 

6  But  they  ^said,  ^'We  will 
drink  no  wine:  for  '"Jon'a-dSb 
the  son  of  '"Re'chab  our  fathei- 
commanded  us,  saying,  Ye  shall 
drink  no  wine,  neither  ye,  nor 
your  sons  for  ever: 

7  Neither  shall  ye  build  house, 
nor  sow  seed,  nor  plant  vine- 
yard, nor  have  any:  but  all  your 
days  ye  shall  dwell  in  tents;  that 
ye  may  live  many  days  in  the 
land  where  ye  he  strangers. 

8  Thus  have  *we  obeyed  the 
voice  of  "Mon'a-dab  the  son  of 
'"Re'chab  our  father  in  all  that 
he  hath  charged  us,  to  'drink  no 
"wine  all  our  days,  we,  our  wives, 
our  sons,  nor  our  daughters; 

9  Nor  to  build  houses  for  us  to 
dwell  in:  neither  have  we  vine- 
yard, nor  field,  nor  seed: 

10  But  we  have  dwelt  in  tents, 
and  have  obeyed,  and  done  ac- 
cording to  all  that  '"Jon'a-dS.b 
our  father  commanded  us. 

11  But  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"^Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of 
"Bab'y-lon  came  up  into  the 
land,  that  we  said.  Come,  and  let 
us  go  to  Je-rn'sfi-lem  for  fear  of 
the  army  of  the  ^Chal-de'an.s, 
and  for  fear  of  the  %rmy  of  the

e  Jeremiah,  Jer. 


12  ^  Then  came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  unto  "-"Jer-e-mrah, 
saying, 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Ls'ra-el;  Go 
and  tell  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
Will  ye  not  receive  'instruction 
to  hearken  to  my  words  ?  saith 
the  Lord. 

14  The  words  of  '"Jon'a-dab 
the  son  of  '"Re'chab,  that  he 
commanded  his  sons  not  to 
drink  wine,  are  performed;  for 
unto  this  day  they  'drink  none, 
but  obey  their  father's  com- 
mandment: notwithstanding  I 
have  *spoken  unto  you,  rising 
early  and  speaking;  but  ye 
'•"hearkened    not   unto    me. 

15  I  have  *sent  also  unto  you  all 
my  servants  the  j)r(jj)licts,  rising 
up  early  and  sending  them,  say- 
ing, ''Return  ye  now  every  man 
from  his  evil  way,  and  amend 
your  doings,  and  "'go  not  after 
other  gods  to  serve  them,  and 
^ye  shall  dwell  in  the  ^land 
which  I  have  given  to  you  and  to 
your  fathers:  but  ye  have  ''"not 
inclined  your  ear,  nor  hearkened 
unto  me. 

16  Because  the  sons  of  '"J6n'a- 
dab  the  son  of  '"Re'chab  have 
performed  the  commandment 
of  their  father,  which  he  com- 
manded them;  but  this  people 
hath  '-"not  hearkened  unto  me: 

17  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
liORD  God  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el;  Behold,  T  will  bring 
upon  "Ju'dah  and  upon  all  the 
inhabitants  of  *Je-ru'sa-lem  all 
the  evil  that  I  have  pronounced 
against  tlu;m:  because  I  have 
spoken  unto  them,  but  they  have 
'^■''not  heard;  and  I  have  called 
unto  them,  but  tliey  have  not 
answered. 

IS  Tl  And  '^Jer-e-mi'ah  said  un- 


the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Because  ye 
have  obeyed  the  commandment 
of  /Jon'a-dab  your  father,  and 
kept  all  his  precepts,  and  done 
according  unto  all  that  he  hath 
commanded  you :

to  stand  before  me  for  ever. 

CHAPTER  36 

Tlie  prophecies  of  Jeremiah  written  out  by 
Baruch,  5  and  by  him  read  to  the  people. 
11  The  princes  require  him  to  rend  the 
roll  to  them.  20  The  king  burns  the 
roll,  and  (jircs  orders  to  apprehend  Baruch 
and  Jeremiah.  27  The  punishment  of  the 
king  and  of  his  servants  foretold.  32 
Baruch  icriles  a  new  roll. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fourth  year  of  °Je-hoi'a- 
kim  the  son  of  *J6-sl'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  ihat  this  "^word  came  un- 
to ''Jer-e-ml'ah  from  the  Lord, 
saying, 

2  Take  thee  a  roll  of  a  *book, 
and  write  therein  all  the  ''words 
that  I  have  spoken  unto  thee 
against  Is'ra-el,  and  against  Ju'- 
dah, and  against  all  the  nations, 
from  the  day  I  spake  unto  thee, 
from  the  days  of  ^Jo-sl'ah,  even 
unto  this  day. 

3  Tt  may  be  that  the  house 
of  Ju'dah  will  hear  all  the  evil 
which  I  purpose  to  do  unto  them ; 
that  they  may  ''return  every  man 
from  his  evil  way;  that  I  may 
''forgive  their  iniquity  and  their 
sin. 

4  Then  '^  Jer-e-ml'ah  called  *Ba'- 
nich  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah:  and 
Ba'nich  wrote  from  the  mouth 
of  Jer-e-ml'ah  all  the  Svords  of 
the  Lord,  which  he  had  spoken 
unto  him,  upon  a  roll  of  a  ''book. 

5  And''Jer-e-ml'ah  commanded

thou  shalt  read  them  in  the  ears

7  ^It  may  be  they  will  present

one  from  his  evil  way:  for  great 
is  the  'anger  and  the  fury  that 
the  Lord  hath  pronounced 
against  this  people. 

8  And  'Ba'riich  the  son  of  Ne- 
rl'ah  did  according  to  all  that 
''Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  com- 
manded him,  reading  in  the 
*book  the  "^words  of  the  Lord  in 
the  'Lord's  house. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fifth  year  of  '^Je-hoi'a-kim  the 
son  of  ''Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
in  the  ninth  '"month,  that  they 
proclaimed  a  ^'fast  before  the 
Lord  to  all  the  people  in  Jc-ru'- 
sa-lem,  and  to  all  the  people  that 
came  from  the  cities  of  Ju'dah 
unto  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10  Then  read  'Ba-nich  in  the 
'^book  the  words  of  ''Jer-e-ml'ah 
in  the  'house  of  the  Lord,  in 
the  chamber  of  Gem-a-ri'ah  the 
son  of  "Sha'phan  the  "scribe,  in 
the  higher  ^court,  at  the  entrv 
of  the  new  gate  of  the  Lord's 
house,  in  the  ears  of  all  the 
people. 

11  1  When  Ml-cha'iah  the  son 
of  Gem-a-ri'ah,  the  son  of  "Sha'- 
phan,  had  heard  out  of  the  *book 
all  the  '^words  of  the  Lord, 

12  Then  he  went  down  into  the 
king's  house,  into  the  "scribe's 
chamber:  and,  lo,  all  the  princes 
sat  there,  even  E-lish'a-ma  the 
scribe,  and  Del-a-T'ah  the  son 
of  Shem-a-l'ah,  and  'El'na-than 
the  son  of  'Ach'bor.  and  Gem-a- 
rl'ah  the  son  of  "Sha'phan,  and 
Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Han-a- 
ni'ah,  and  all  the  princes. 

13  Then  Ml-cha'iah  declared 


unto  them  all  the  '^words  that 
he  had  heard,  when  *Ba'riich 
read  the  ^book  in  the  ears  of 
the  people. 

14  Therefore  all  the  princes 
sent  Je-hu'dl  the  son  of  Neth-a- 
nl'ah,  the  son  of  Shel-e-ml'ah, 
the  son  of  Cii'shi,  unto  'Ba'riich, 
saying.  Take  in  thine  hand  the 
roll  wherein  thou  hast  read  in 
the  ears  of  the  people,  and  come. 
So  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-rl'ah 
took  the  roll  in  his  hand,  and 
came  unto  them. 

15  And  they  said  unto  him.  Sit 
down  now,  and  read  it  in  our 
ears.  So  '^Ba'ruch  read  it  in 
their  ears. 

16  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  heard  all  the  '^words, 
they  Hvere  afraid  both  one  and 
other,  and  said  unto  '^Ba'rnch, 
We  will  surely  tell  the  king  of  all 
these  words. 

17  And  they  asked  ^Ba'riich, 
saying,  Tell  us  now,  How  didst 
thou  write  all  these  words  at  his 
mouth  ? 

18  Then  ^Ba'riich  answered 
them,  He  pronounced  all  these 
words  unto  me  with  his  mouth, 
and  I  wrote  them  with  ink  in  the 
*book. 

19  Then  said  the  princes  unto 
'Ba'ruch,  Go,  hide  thee,  thou 
and  '^ Jer-e-ml'ah ;  and  let  no 
man  know  where  ye  be. 

20  T[  And  they  went  in  to  the 
"king  into  the  court,  but  they 
laid  up  the  roll  in  the  chamber  of 
E-lish'a-ma  the  scribe,  and  told 
all  the  words  in  the  ears  of  the 
king. 

21  So  the  "king  sent  Je-hu'dl  to 
fetch  the  roll:  and  he  took  it  out 
of  E-llsh'a-ma  the  scribe's  cham- 
ber. And  Je-hu'dl  read  it  in  the 
ears  of  the  king,  and  in  the  ears 
of  all  the  princes  which  stood 
beside  the  king.

'"month:  and  iJiere  was  a  fur 
t)n  the  -hearth  burnui<T;  before 
him; 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  Je-hu'di  had  read  three  or 
four  leaves,  "'^he  cut  it  with  the 
penknife,  and  cast  it  into  the  fire 
that  teas  on  the  -hearth,  until  all 
the  roll  was  consumed  in  the  fire 
that  was  on  the  ^hearth. 

24  Yet  they  were  'not  afraid, 
nor  rent  their  garments,  neither 
the  king,  nor  any  of  his  servants 
that  heard  all  these  words. 

25  Nevertheless  El'na-than  and 
D&l-a-i'ah  and  Gem-a-rl'ah 
had  made  intercession  to  the 
king  that  he  would  not  burn 
the  roll:  but  he  would  not  hear 
them. 

26  But  the  "-'king  commanded 
Je-rah'me-el  the  ^son  of  Ham'- 
mc-lech,  and  Ser-a-l'ah  the  son 
of  Az'ri-el,  and  Shel-e-ml'ah  the 
son  of  AbMe-el,  to  "take  *Ba'- 
ruch  the  scribe  and  ''Jer-e-ml'ah 
the  prophet:  but  the  "Lord  hid 
them. 

27  Tl  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  "Jer-e-ml'ah,  after  that 
the  king  had  burned  the  roll, 
and  the  words  which  *Ba'riich 
wrote  at  tlie  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'- 
ah,  saying, 

28  Take  thee  again  another  roll, 
and  write  in  it  all  the  former 
words  that  were  in  the  first  roll, 
which  "■*Je-hoi'a-kim  the  king  of 
Ju'dah  hath  burned. 

29  And  thou  shalt  say  to  "-Mc- 
hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah,  Thus 
saith  the  IjORd;  Thou  hast 
burned  this  roll,  saying,  Why 
hast  thou  written  therein,  say- 
ing. The  king  of  '"Bab'y-lon  shall 
certainly  come  and  destroy  this 
land,  and  shall  cause  to  cease 
from  thence  man  and  beast  ? 

30  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of 
Ju'dah;  ^TTe  shall  have  none  to 
sit  upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid: 


and  his  dead  body  shall  be  cast 
out  in  tlie  day  to  the  heat,  and  in 
the  night  to  the  frost. 

31  And  1  will  *punish  him  and 
his  seed  and  his  servants  for  their 
iniquity;  and  I  will  bring  upon 
them,  and  upon  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  upon  the 
men  of  Ju'dah,  all  the  evil  that  I 
have  pronounced  against  them; 
but  they  'hearkened  not. 

32  T[  Then  took  Jer-e-ml'ah 
another  roll,  and  gave  it  to  Ba'- 
riich  the  "scribe,  the  son  of  Ne- 
ri'ah;  wdio  wrote  therein  from 
the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  all  the 
words  of  the  *book  w^iich  Je- 
hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  had 
burned  in  the  fire:  and  there 
were  added  besides  unto  them 
many  like  words. 

CHAPTER  37 

The  prophet's  warning  slighted.  5  The 
Chaldeans,  through  fear  of  the  Egyptians, 
raise  the  siege  of  Jerusalem.  6  The

Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6  T[  Then  *eame  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  the  prophet  'Jer-e- 
ml'ah,  saying, 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el;  Thus  shall  ye 
say  to  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  that 
sent  you  unto  me  to  enquire  of 
me;  Behold,  ^Pha'^raoh's  *army, 
which  is  come  forth  to  help  you, 
shall  return  to  E'g;^pt  into  their 
own  land. 

8  And  the  ''Chal-de'ans  shall 
come  again,  and  fight  against 
til  is  "city,  and  take  it,  and  "burn 
it  with  fire. 

9  '"Thus  saith  the  Lord;  De- 
ceive not  yourselves,  saying.  The 
Chal-de'ans  shall  surely  depart 
from  us:  for  they  shall  not  de- 
part. 

10  For  though  ye  had  smitten 
the  whole  army  of  the  ''Chal-de'- 
ans  that  fight  against  you,  and 
there  remained  bid  wounded 
men  among  them,  yet  should 
they  rise  up  every  man  in  his 
tent,  and  "burn  this  "city  with 
fire. 

11  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  the  army  of  the  ''ChS.l-de'- 
ans  was  broken  up  from  'Je-ru'- 
sa-lem for  fear  of  ^Pha'raoh's 
army, 

12  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  went  forth 
out  of  'Je-rii'sa-lem  to  go  into 
the  land  of  ^Ben'ja-min,  to  'sep- 
arate himself  thence  in  the  midst 
of  the  people. 

13  And  when  he  was  in  the 
^gate  of  Ben'ja-mm,  a  ^captain 
of  the  ward  ^vas  there,  whose 
name  teas  I-ri'jah,  the  son  of 
Shel-e-ml'ah,  the  son  of  Han- 
a-nl'ah;  and  he  took  °Jer- 
e-ml'ah  the  prophet,  *saying, 
'^Thou  fallest  away  to  the  ''Chai- 
de'ans. 

14  Then  said  °Jer-e-ml'ah,  // 
is  false;  I  ''fall  not  away  to  the 


Chal-de'ans.  But  he  hearkened 
not  to  him:  so  I-rl'jah  *took  Jer- 
e-mi'ah,  and  brought  him  to  the 
princes. 

15  Wherefore  the  ^princes  were 
wroth  with  "Jer-e-ml'ah,  and 
*•  "smote  him,  and  "put  him  in 
prison  in  the  house  of  ''Jon'a- 
than  the  scribe:  for  they  had 
made  that  the  prison. 

16  Tf  When  "Jer-e-mi'ah  was 
^entered  into  the  'dungeon,  and 
into  the  cabins,  and  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  had  remained  there  many 
days; 

17  Then  'Zed-e-kl'ah  the  king 
sent,  and  took  him  out:  and  the 
king  asked  him  secretly  in  his 
hoiuse,  and  said.  Is  there  a???/ 
word  from  the  Lord?  And 
"•  '^Jer-e-ml'ah  said.  There  is:  for, 
said  he,  thou  shalt  be  delivered 
into  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon. 

18  jMoreover  Jer-e-ml'ah  said 
unto  king  Zed-e-kl'ah,  What 
have  I  offended  against  thee,  or 
against  thy  scvants,  or  against 
this  people,  that  ye  have  put  me 
in  prison  ? 

19  Where  are  now  your  ^proph- 
ets which  prophesied  unto  you, 
saying.  The  "'king  of  "BSb'y-lon 
shall  not  come  against  you,  nor 
against  this  land  ? 

20  Therefore  hear  now,  I  pray 
tliee,  O  my  lord  the  king:  let  my 
supplication,  I  pray  thee,  be  ac- 
cepted before  thee;  that  thou 
cause  me  not  to  return  to  the 
house  of  ''Jon'a-than  the  scribe, 
lest  I  die  there. 

21  Then  ^Zed-e-kl'ah  the  king 
commanded  that  they  should 
commit  °Jer-e-mI'ah  into  the 
"court  of  the  ^prison,  and  that 
they  should  give  him  daily  a 
piece  of  bread  out  of  the  ^bakers' 
street,  until  all  the  bread  in  the 
city  were  spent.  Thus  Jer-e-

T'/M"  prophet  is  accused,  and  cast  into  a 
dungeon.  7  A I  the  request  of  Ehed-melccli. 
lie  is  taken  out  and  con  lined  in  tlie  court  of 
tlie  prison.  14  The  king's  conference 
with  the  prophet.  24  He  is  commanded 
by  tlie  king  to  conceal  it  from  the  princes. 

THEN  Sheph-a-ti'ah  tlie  son 
of  INIat'tan,  and  Ged-a- 
li'ah  the  son  of  Pasl/iir,  and 
"  Jr/cal  the  son  of  *Shel-e-mi'ah, 
and  '^Pash'ur  the  son  of  '^Mal- 
chl'ah,  heard  the  words  that 
^Jer-c-ml'ah  had  spoken  unto 
all  the  ])eople,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  He  that 
remaineth  in  this  ^eity  shall  die 
hy  the  "sword,  by  the  ''famine, 
and  by  the  pestilence:  but  he 
that  goeth  forth  to  the  Chal-de'- 
ans  shall  live;  for  he  shall  have 
his  life  for  a  prey,  and  shall  live. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  This 
'city  shall  surely  be  given  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  Biib'y- 
lon's  army,  which  shall  take  it. 

4  Therefore  the  princes  said 
unto  the  king.  We  beseech  thee, 
let  this  ^man  be  ''^put  to  death: 
for  thus  he  weakeneth  the  hands 
of  the  men  of  war  that  remain  in 
tliis  city,  and  tlie  hands  of  all  the 
people,  in  speaking  such  words 
unto  them:  for  this  man  seeketh 
not  the  welfare  of  this  people,  but 
the  hurt. 

5  Then  '•"'Zcd-e-kl'ah  the  king 
said.  Behold,  he  is  in  your  hand: 
for  the  king  w  not  lie  that  can  do 
any  thing  against  you. 

6  Then  took  they  ^•'Jer-e-mf- 
ah,  and  ^'"-"cast  him  into  the 
dungeon  of  Mal-chi'ah  the  ^son 
of  Ham'me-lech,  that  was  in  the 
court  of  the  ^■''prison:  and  they 
let  down  Jer-e-ml'ah  with  cords. 
And  in  the  dungeon  there  was  no 
water,  but  mire:  so  Jer-e-mi'ah 
sunk  in  the  mire. 

7  Tf  Now  when  *E'l)ed-me'lech 
the  ''E-thi-o'pi-an,  one  of  the  *eu- 
nuclis  which  was  in  the  king's 
house,  heard  that  they  had  put 
'^Jer-e-mi'ah  in  the  dungeon;  the 


king  then  sitting  in  the  '"gate  of 
Ben'ja-min; 

8  ^E'bed-me'lech  went  forth  out 
of  the  king's  house,  and  spake 
to  the  king,  saying, 

9  "^ly  lord  the  king,  these  men 
have  done  evil  in  all  that  they 
have  done  to  ^Jer-e-ml'ah  the 
pro^ohet,  whom  they  have  "cast 
into  the  dungeon;  and  "he  is  like 
to  die  for  hunger  in  the  place 
where  he  is:  for  there  is  no  more 
bread  in  the  city. 

10  Then  the  king  commanded 
«E'bed-me'lech  the  ''E-thi-o'pi- 
an,  saying,  Take  from  hence 
thirty  men  with  thee,  and  "'take 
up  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  proj)het  out 
of  the  dungeon,  before  he  die. 

11  So  'E'bed-me'lech  took  the 
men  with  him,  and  went  into 
the  house  of  the  king  under  the 
treasury,  and  took  thence  old 
cast  clouts  and  old  rotten  rags, 
and  let  them  down  by  cords  into 
the  dungeon  to  *^ Jer-e-mi'ah. 

12  «E'bed-me'lech  the  ^E-thi- 
o'pi-an  "'said  unto  ^Jer-e-mi'ah, 
Put  now  these  old  cast  clouts  and 
rotten  rags  under  thine  armholes 
under  the  cords.  And  Jer-e-mi'- 
ah did  so. 

13  So  "'they  drew  up  ^Jer-e- 
mi'ah  with  cords,  and  took  him 
up  out  of  the  dungeon:  and 
Jer-e-mi'ah  remained  in  the 
court  of  the  ^prison. 

14 1  Then  'Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king 
sent,  and  took  "Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
l)roj)het  unto  him  into  the  third 
entry  that  is  in  the  ^house  of  (he 
Lord:  and  the  king  said  unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah,  I  will  ask  tliee  a 
thing;  hide  nothing  from  me. 

15  Then  ''Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto 
'Zed-e-ki'ah,  If  I  declare  it  unto 
thee,  wilt  thou  not  surely  put  me 
to  death  ?  and  if  I  give  thee  coun- 
.sel,  wilt  thou  not  hearken  unto 
me  ?

prophecies  con-

2:1. 


mi'-ah,  saying,  As  the  Lord  liv- 
eth,  that  "made  u.s  this  soul,  I 
will  not  put  thee  to  death,  neither 
will  I  give  thee  into  the  hand  of 
these  men  that  ''seek  thy  life. 

17  Then  said  "^Jer-e-ml'ah  un- 
to '^Zed-e-ki'ah,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el;  If  thou  wilt  assuredly 
go  forth  unto  the  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon's  princes,  then  thy  soul  shall 
live,  and  this  *city  shall  not  be 
burned  with  fire;  and  thou  shalt 
live,  and  thine  house: 

18  But  if  thou  wilt  not  go  forth 
to  the  kiiigof  Bab'y-lon's  princes, 
then  shall  this  *city  be  given  into 
the  hand  of  the  ^Chal-de'ans, 
and  they  shall  ''burn  it  with  fire, 
and  thou  shalt  not  escape  out  of 
their  hand. 

19  And  '^Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king 
said  unto  '^Jer-e-mi'ah,  ''I  am 
'afraid  of  the  'Jews  that  are 
fallen  to  the  ^Chal-de'an.s,  lest 
they  deliver  me  into  their  hand, 
and  they  mock  me. 

20  But  '^Jer-e-ml'ah  said.  They 
shall  not  deliver  thee.  *'Obey,  I 
beseech  thee,  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  which  I  speak  unto  thee: 
'so  it  shall  be  well  unto  thee,  and 
thy  soul  shall  live. 

21  But  if  thou  refuse  to  go  forth, 
this  is  the  word  that  the  Lord 
hath  shewed  me: 

22  And,  behold,  all  the  Avomen 
that  are  left  in  the  king  of  Ju'- 
dah's  house  shall  be  brought 
forth  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's 
princes,  and  those  women  shall 
say.  Thy  friends  have  set  thee 
on,  and  have  prevailed  against 
thee:  thy  feet  are  sunk  in  the 
mire,  and  they  are  turned  aAvay 
back. 

23  So  they  shall  bring  out  all 
thy  wives  and  thy  children  to  the 
'Chal-de'ans :  and  thou  shalt  not 
escape  out  of  their  hand,  but 
shalt  l)e  taken  by  the  hand  of 
the  "'king  of  Bab'y-lon:  and  thou 


shalt    cause    this    ^city    to    be 
^burned  with  fire. 

24  t  Then  said  '^Zed-e-ki'ah 
unto  '^Jer-e-mi'ah,  Let  no  man 
know  of  these  words,  and  thou 
shalt  not  die. 

25  But  if  the  princes  hear  that  I 
have  talked  with  thee,  and  they 
come  unto  thee,  and  say  unto 
thee,  Declare  unto  us  now  what 
thou  hast  said  unto  the  king,  hide 
it  not  from  us,  and  we  will  not 
put  thee  to  death;  also  what  the 
king  said  unto  thee: 

26  Then  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them,  I  presented  my  supi)li- 
cation  before  the  king,  that  he 
would  not  cause  me  to  return 
to  "J5n'a-than's  hou.se,  to  die 
there. 

27  Then  came  all  the  princes 
unto  '^Jer-e-ml'ah,  and  asked 
him:  and  he  told  them  according 
to  all  these  words  that  the  king 
had  commanded.  So  they  left 
off  speaking  with  him;  for  the 
matter  was  not  perceived. 

28  So  '^Jer-e-mi'ah  abode  in 
the  court  of  the  ^"prison  until 
the  day  that  ^Je-ru'sa-lem  was 
taken:  ''and  he  was  there  when 
Je-rii'sa-lem  was   taken.

gar-ne'bo,  Siir-se'chim,  Rab'- 
sa-ris,  Ner'gal-shri-re'zer,  Rab'- 
mag,  with  all  the  residue  of  the 
princes  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon. 

4  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  "Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  of 
''Ju'dah  saw  them,  and  all  the 
men  of  war  then  they  fled,  and 
went  forth  out  of  the  city  by 
night,  by  the  way  of  the  king's 
garden,  by  the  *gate  betwixt  the 
two  ^'walls:  and  he  went  out  the 
way  of  the  ^plain. 

5  But  the  'Chal-de'ans'  army 
pursued  after  them,  and  over- 
took '^Zed-e-ki'ah  in  the  '"plains 
of  Jer'i-cho:  and  when  they  had 
taken  him,  they  brought  him 
up  to  '^Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king 
of  «Bab'y-lon  to  "Rib'lah  in  the 
land  of  "Ha'math,  where  he  gave 
judgment  upon  him. 

6  Then  the  king  of  '^BS,])'y-lon 
''■^slew  the  sons  of  °Zed-e-kl'ah 
in  "Rib'lah  before  his  eyes:  also 
the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  slew  all  the 
nobles  of  Ju'dah. 

7  Moreover  he  ^^■'^put  out  "Zed- 
e-kl'ah's  eyes,  and  bound  him 
with  chains,  to  carry  him  to 
'^Bab'y-lon. 

8  And  the  ^Chrd-de'ans  ''burned 
the  king's  house,  and  the  houses 
of  the  jieople,  with  fire,  and  brake 
down  the  walls  of  Je-ni'sa-lem. 

9  H  Then  *Xcb'u-zar-a'dan  the 
'captain  of  the  guard  "carried 
away  captive  into  '^Bab'y-lon  the 
remnant  of  the  people  that  re- 
mained in  the  ''city,  and  those 
that  fell  away,  that  fell  to  him, 
with  the  rest  of  the  people  that 
remained. 

10  But  *Xeb'u-zilr-a'dan  the 
'captain  of  the  guard  left  of  the 
'poor  of  the  pcojjle,  whicli  had 
nothing,  in  the  land  of  Jil'dah, 
and  gave  them  "^"vineyards  and 
fields  at  the  same  time. 

11  Tf  Now  ''Ncb-u-chad-rez'- 
zar  king  of  *Bab'y-lon  gave 
charge  concerning  ^Jer-e-ml'ah 


to  *Neb'u-zar-a'dan  the  'captain 
of  the  guard,  saying, 

12  ^'^Take  him,  and  look  well 
to  him,  and  do  him  no  harm;  but 
tlo  unto  him  even  as  he  shall  say 
unto  thee. 

13  So  *Neb'u-zar-a'dan  the 
'captain  of  the  guard  sent,  and 
Neb-u-shas'ban,  Rab'-sa-ris, 
and  Ner'gal— sha-re'zer,  RS,b'— 
mag,  and  all  the  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon's  princes; 

14  Even  they  sent,  and  ^-^took 
"Jer-e-ml'ah  out  of  the  court  of 
the  ^prison,  and  committed  him 
unto  *Ged-a-h'ah  the  son  of  '^A- 
hl'kam  the  son  of  ''Sha'phan, 
that  he  should  carry  him  home: 
so  he  dwelt  among  the  people. 

15  ^Nowthe^vord  of  the  Lord 
^came  unto  "Jer-e-mi'ah,  while 
he  was  shut  up  in  the  court  of 
tlie  ^prison,  saying, 

16  Go  and  speak  to  "E'bed- 
me'lech  the  ''E-thi-5'pi-an,  say- 
ing, Thus  saith  the  I/ORD  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Be- 
hold, I  will  bi'ing  my  words  upon 
this  *city  for  evil,  and  not  for 
good;  and  they  shall  be  accom- 
plished in  that  day  before  thee. 

17  But  I  will  ^deliver  thee  in 
that  day,  saith  the  Lord:  and 
thou  slialt  not  be  given  into  the 
hand  of  the  men  of  whom  thou 
art  afraid. 

18  For  I  will  surely  ^deliver 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  not  fall  by 
the  sword,  but  thy  life  shall  be 
for  a  prey  unto  thee:  because 
thou  hast  put  thy  '^trust  in  me, 
saith  the  Lord.

had  taken  him  being  bound  in 
^chains  among  all  that  were  car- 
ried away  captive  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
and  Ju'dah,  which  were  carried 
away  captive  unto  ''Bab'y-lon. 

2  And  the  ^captain  of  the  guard 
took  "  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  said  unto 
him,  The  Lord  thy  God  hath 
pronounced  thi.s  evil  upon  this 
place. 

3  Now  the  Lord  hath  brought 
I'f,  and  done  according  as  he  hath 
said:  because  *ye  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord,  and  have  not 
obeyed  his  voice,  therefore  this 
thing  is  come   upon  you. 

4  And  now,  behold,  ^I  ''loose 
'^thee  this  day  from  the  -^chains 
which  were  upon  thine  hand.  If 
it  seem  good  unto  thee  to  come 
with  me  into  ^Bab'y-lon,  come; 
and  I  will  look  well  unto  thee: 
but  if  it  seem  ill  unto  thee  to 
come  with  me  into  Bab'y-lon, 
forbear:  behold,  all  the  land  if 
before  thee:  whither  it  seemeth 
good  and  convenient  for  thee  to 
o;o,  thither  g-o. 

5  Now  while  he  was  not  yet 
gone  back,  ^he  '^said,  Go  back 
also  to  *Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of 
'A-hi'kam  the  son  of  ^Sha'phan, 
whom  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  hath 
made  'governor  over  the  cities 
of  Ju'dah,  and  dwell  with  him 
among  the  people:  or  go  where- 
soever it  seemeth  convenient  un- 
to thee  to  go.  So  the  'captain  of 
the  guard  gave  him  victuals  and 
a  'reward,  and  let  him  go. 

6  Then  went  "  Jer-e-ml'ah  unto 
'Ged-a-ll'ah  the  son  of  ^'A-hf- 
kam  to'"Miz'pah;  and  dwelt  with 
him  among  the  people  that  were 
left  in  the  land. 

7  Tf  Now  when  all  the  '^captains 
of  the  forces  which  were  in  the 
fields,  even  they  and  their  men, 
hea  rd  that  the  king  of  ^Bab'y-lon 
had  made  *Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of 


^A-hl'kam  'governor  in  the  land, 
and  had  committed  unto  him 
men,  and  women,  and  children, 
and  of  the  "poor  of  the  land,  of 
them  that  were  not  carried  away 
captive  to  Bab'y-lon; 

8  Then  they  came  to  *Ged-a- 
ll'ah  to  '"Miz'pah,  even  *Ish'- 
ma-el  the  son  of  "Neth-a-nl'ah, 
and  ^J6-ha'nan  and  Jon'a-than 
the  sons  of  ^Ka,-re'ah,  and  "Ser- 
a-l'ah  the  son  of  "Tan'hu-meth, 
and  the  sons  of  E'phai  the  Ne- 
toph'a-thite,  and  *Jez-a-nl'ah 
the  son  of  a  Mri-ach'a-thlte,  the}' 
and  theii'  men. 

9  And  ^Ged-a-lT'ah  the  son  of 
'A-hi'kam  the  son  of  '^Sha'phan 
'^•^sware  unto  them  and  to  their 
men,  saying,  Fear  not  to  serve 
tlie  'Chal-de'an.s:  dwell  in  the 
land,  and  serve  the  king  of  Bab'- 
y-lon, and  it  shall  be  well  with 
you. 

10  As  for  me,  behold,  I  will 
dwell  at  '"Miz'pah,  to  serve  the 
'Chal-de'ans,  which  will  come 
unto  us:  but  ye,  gather  ye  "Avine, 
and  "summer  fruits,  and  "'oil, 
and  put  them  in  your  vessels,  and 
dwell  in  yoiu'  cities  that  ye  have 
taken. 

11  Likewise  when  all  the  Jews 
that  were  in  ^Mo'ab,  and  among 
the  ^Am'mon-Ites,  and  in  ^E'- 
dom,  and  that  were  in  all  the 
countries,  hearfl  that  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon  had  left  a  remnant  of 
Ju'dah,  and  that  he  had  set  over 
them  '^Ged-a-ll'ah  the  son  of 
A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan; 

12  Even  all  the  Jews  returned 
out  of  all  places  whither  they 
were  driven,  and  came  to  the 
land  of  Ju'dah,  to  "Ged-a-h'ah, 
unto  ''Miz'pah,  and  gathered 
wine  and  summer  fruits  very 
much.

'^•^'eaptains  of  the  forces  that  were 
in  the  fiekls,  came  to  "Ged-a-lfah 
to  ^^Nliz/pah, 

1-4  And  said  unto  him,  Dost 
thou  certainly  know  that  Ba-ahs 
the  king  of  the  ''Am'mon-ites 
hath  sent  *Tsh'ma-el  the  son  of 
"Neth-a-nl'ah  to  slay  thee  ?  But 
«Ged-a-ll'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'- 
kam  believed  them  not. 

15  Then  "^Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of 
^Ka-re'ah  spake  to  '^Ged-a-li'ah 
in  *Miz'pah  secretly,  saying,  Let 
me  go,  I  pray  thee,  and  I  will 
slay  *lsh'nia-el  the  son  of  ''Neth- 
a-ni'ah,  and  no  man  shall  know 
it:  wherefore  should  he  slay  thee, 
that  all  the  Jews  which  are  gath- 
ered unto  thee  should  be  scat- 
tered, and  the  remnant  in  Ju'dah 
perish  ? 

16  But  "Ged-a-h'ah  the  son  of 
A-hl'kam  said  unto  ''Jo-ha'nan 
the  son  of  ^Ka-re'ah,  Thou  shalt 
not  do  this  thing:  for  thou  speak- 
est  falsely  of  *Ish'ma-el. 

CHAPTER  41 

Isliniacl  trrachcrously  kills  Gedaliah  and 
others.  10  lie  flees  teith  captives  to  the 
Ammonites.  11  Johanan  recovers  the 
captives,  and  with  them  departs  toward 
Egypt. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seventh  "month,  tliat  *Ish'- 
ma-el  the  son  of  '^Neth-a-nl'ah 
the  son  of  '^E-lish'a-ma,  of  the 
seed  royal,  and  'the  princes  of 
the  king,  even  ten  men  with  him, 
came  unto  ''Ged-a-li'ah  the  son 
of  *A-hI'kam  to  ^Miz'pah;  and 
there  they  did  eat  bread  together 
in  Miz'pah. 

2  Then  arose  ^Ish'ma-el  the  son 
of  '^Neth-a-ni'ah,  and  the  ten 
men  that  were  with  him,  and 
"smote  "^Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of 
*A-hi'kam  the  son  of  ''Sha'phan 
with  the  sword,  and  ''slew  him, 
whom  the  king  of  'Bab'y-lon  had 
made  governor  over  the  land. 

3  *Ish'ma-el  also  "slew  all  the 
Jew-s  that  were  with  him,  even 
with  '^Ged-a-li'ah,  at  'Miz'pah, 


and  the  ^Chill-de'ans  tliat  were 
found  there,  and  the  men  of  war. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
second  day  after  ''he  had 
slain  ''Ged-a-ll'ah,  and  no  man 
knew  it, 

5  That  there  came  certain  from 
'She'chem,  from  '"Shi'loh,  and 
from  ''Sa-ma'ri-a,  even  four- 
score men,  having  their  "beards 
shaven,  and  their  clothes  ''rent, 
and  having  cut  themselves,  with 
offerings  and  '^incense  in  tluMr 
hand,  to  bring  thrni  to  the  '^house 
of  the  Lord, 

6  And  ''Ish'ma-el  the  son  of 
''Ncth-a-ni'ah  went  forth  from 
''jNIIz'pah  to  meet  them,  *weep- 
ing  all  along  as  he  went:  and  it 
came  to  pass,  as  he  met  them,  he 
said  unto  them.  Come  to  '^Ged- 
a-ll'ah  the  son  of  ''A-hi'kam. 

7  And  it  was  so,  when  they 
came  into  the  midst  of  the  city, 
that  ^Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  <^Neth- 
a-nl'ah  "slew  them,  and  cast  them 
into  the  midst  of  the  pit,  he,  and 
the  men  that  were  with  him. 

8  But  ten  men  were  found 
among  them  that  said  unto  ''Ish'- 
ma-el,  Slay  us  not:  for  we  have 
treasures  in  the  field,  of  'wheat, 
and  of  "barley,  and  of  ^oil,  and 
of  "'honey.  So  he  forl)are,  and 
slew  them  not  among  their 
brethren. 

9  Now  the  ]Mt  wherein  *Ish'- 
nia-el  had  cast  all  the  dead 
bodies  of  the  men,  whom  he  had 
slain  because  of  '^Ged-a-li'ah, 
ivas  it  which  ^A'sa  the  king  had 
made  for  fear  of  "Ba'a-sha  king 
of  Is'ra-el:  and  lsli'nia,-el  the;  son 
of  Neth-a-nl'ah  fill(>d  it  with 
tJiem.  til  at  were  slain. 

10  Then  Ish'ma-el  carried 
away  captive  all  the  residue  of 
the  people  that  were  in  Miz'pali, 
even  the  king's  daughters,  and 
all  the  people  that  remained  in 
iMiz'pah,  whom  ^Ncb'u-zar-a'-

had  committed  to  *Ged-a-li'ali 
the  son  of  '^A-hl'kam:  and  '^Ish'- 
ma-el  the  son  of  *Neth-a-ni'ah 
carried  them  away  captive,  and 
departed  to  go  over  to  the  ''Am'- 
mon-Ites. 

11  ^  But  when  "Jo-ha'nan  the 
son  of  ''Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the 
"^captains  of  the  ^forces  that  were 
with  him,  heard  of  all  the  evil 
that  '^Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  '^NSth- 
a-nl'ah  had  done, 

12  Then  they  took  all  the  men, 
and  went  to  fight  with  ''Ish'ma- 
el  the  son  of  ''Neth-a-nl'ah,  and 
found  him  by  the  great  waters 
that  are  in  *Gib'e-on. 

13  Now  it  came  to  pass,  thai 
when  all  the  people  which  were 
with  '^Ish'ma-el  saw  ^J6-ha'nan 
the  son  of  ''Kfi-re'ah,  and  all  the 
'^captains  of  the  ^forces  that  were 
with  him,  then  they  were  glad. 

14  So  all  the  people  that  '^Tsh'- 
ma-el  had  carried  away  captive 
from  ^Miz'pah  cast  about  and 
returned,  and  went  unto  "Jo- 
ha'nan  the  son  of  ^Ka.-re'ah. 

15  But  ''Tsh 'ma-el  the  son  of 
•^Neth-a-nfah  escaped  from  "Jo- 
ha'nan  with  eight  men,  and  went 
to  the  ^\m'mon-ites. 

16  Then  took  "Jo-ha'nan  the 
son  of  ''Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the 
"captains  of  the  forces  that  were 
with  him,  all  the  remnant  of

men, and  the  children,  and  the

for  they  were  afraid  of  them, 
because  '^Ish'ma-el  the  son  of 
''Neth-a-ni'ah  had  slain  ''Ged-a-

CHAPTER  42 

Johanmi  desires  Jeremiah  to  inquire  of  God, 
and  promises  obedience  to  his  will.  7 
The  prophet  assures  him  of  safety  in 
Jiidea:  13  and  warns  him  against  going 
into  Egypt.  19  He  reproves  the  hypoc- 
risy of  the  people. 

THEN  all  the  "captains  of  the 
^forces,  and  '^Jo-ha'nan  the 
son  of  '^Ka-re'ah,  and  *Jez-a-ni'- 
ah  the  son  of  ^Hosh-a-i'ah,  and 
all  the  people  from  the  least  even 
unto  the  greatest,  came  near, 

2  And  said  unto  ^Jer-e-mi'ah 
the  prophet,  Let,  we  beseech 
thee,  our  supplication  be  accept- 
ed before  thee,  and  ''•  'pray  for  us 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  even 
for  all  this  remnant;  (for  we  are 
left  but  a  few  of  many,  as  thine 
eyes  do  behold  us:) 

3  ^That  the  Lord  thy  God  may 
shew  ^us  the  way  wherein  ^^■e 
may  walk,  and  the  thing  that  we 
may  do. 

4  Then  ''Jer-e-ml'ah  the  proph- 
et said  unto  them,  I  have  heard 
you;  behold,  I  will  ''pray  unto 
the  Lord  your  God  according 
to  your  words;  and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  tJiat  ^vhatsoever  thing 
the  Lord  shall  answer  you,  1 
will  declare  it  unto  you;  I  will 
keep  nothing  back  from  you. 

5  Then  they  said  to  ^Jer-e-ml'- 
ah,  ™The  Lord  be  a  true  and 
faithful  witness  between  us,  if 
we  do  not  even  according  to  all 
things  for  the  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  shall  send  thee  to  us.

voice  of  the  Lord  our  God,  *to 
whom  we  send  thee;  "that  it  may 
he  well  ^\•ith  us,  when  we  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

7  T[  And  it  came  to  pass  ^after 
ten  days,  that  *the  word  of  the 
Lord  'came  unto  Jer-e-mT'ah. 

8  Then  called  he  ''Jo-ha'nan 
the  son  of  '^Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the 
"captains  of  the  ''forces  which 
were  with  him,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple from  the  least  even  to  the 
greatest, 

9  And  said  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  unto  whom  ye  sent  me  to 
present  your  supplication  before 
him; 

10  °If  ye  will  still  abide  in  this 
land,  then  will  I  'build  you,  and 
not  ]iull  you  down,  and  I  will 
plant  you,  and  not  pluck  you  up: 
for  I  ^repent  me  of  the  evil  that  I 
have  done  unto  you. 

11  'Be  not  afraid  of  the  "king 
of  *'Bab'y-lon,  of  whom  ye  are 
afraid;  be  not  afraid  of  him,  saith 
the  Lord:  for  I  am  with  you  to 
"'save  you,  and  to  deliver  you 
from  his  hand. 

12  And  I  will 
unto  you,  that 
mercy  uj)on  you 
to  return  to  your  own  land 

13  But  "if  ye  say.  We  will  not 
dwell  in  this  land,  neither  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God, 

14  Saying,  No;  but  we  will  go 
into  the  land  of  ^E'gypt,  where 
we  shall  sec  no  war,  nor  hear  the 
.sound  of  the  ^trumpet,  nor  have 
hunger  of  bread;  and  there  will 
we  dwell: 

15  And  now  therefore  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  ye  remnant  of 
Ju'dah;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Ts'ra-ei;  If  ye 
wholly  set  your  faces  to  enter 
into  ^E'gypt,  and  go  to  sojourn 
there ; 


shew  ^mercies 
he  may  have 
and  cause  you 


16  Then  "it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  the  ^sword,  which  ye  feared, 
shall  ovcTtake  you  there  in  the 
land  of  ''pygypt,  and  the  ''famine, 
whereof  ye  were  afraid,  shall  fol- 
low close  after  you  there  in  E'- 
gypt;  and  there  ye  shall  die. 

17  "So  shall  it  be  with  all  the 
men  that  set  their  faces  to  go  into 
'E'gypt  to  sojourn  there;  they 
shall  die  by  the  ''sword,  by  the 
''famine,  and  by  the  ''pestilence: 
and  none  of  them  shall  remain 
or  escape  from  the  evil  that  I 
will  bring  upon  them. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  As 
mine  ^anger  and  my  fury  hath 
been  poured  forth  upon  the  in- 
habitants of  Je-rii'stl-lem;  "so 
shall  my  fury  be  poured  forth 
upon  you,  when  ye  shall  enter 
into  '^E'gypt:  and  ye  shall  be  an 
execration,  and  an  astonishment, 
and  a  curse,  and  a  reproach; 
and  ye  shall  see  this  place  no 
more. 

19  Tf  The  Lord  hath  said  con- 
cerning you,  O  ye  remnant  of 
Ju'dah;  Go  ye  not  into  '^E'gy})t: 
know  certainly  that  "I  have  ad- 
monished you  this  day. 

20  For  ye  ^'''dissembled  in  your 
hearts,  when  ye  sent  me  unto  the 
Lord  your  God,  saying.  Pray 
for  us  unto  the  Lord  our  God; 
and  according  unto  all  that  the 
Lord  our  God  shall  say,  so 
declare  unto  us,  and  we  will 
do  it. 

21  And  noiv  "l  have  this  day 
declared  it  to  you;  but  ye  have 
'^not  obeyed  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  nor  any  thinr/ 
for  the  which  he  hath  sent  me 
unto  you. 

22  Now  therefore  know  cer- 
tainly that  "ye  shall  die  by  the 
''sword,  by  tiie  ''famine,  and  by 
the  ^pestilence,  in  the  j)lace 
whither  ye  desire  to  go  and  to 
sojourn.

CHAPTER  43 

Johanan,  discrediting  Jeremiah's  prophecy, 
carries  liim  and  others  into  Egypt.  8  The 
propliet  foretells  by  a  type  the  conquest  of 
Egypt  by  the  Babylonians. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  //;aiwhen 
"Jer-e-mi'ah  had  made  an 
end  of  speaking  unto  all  the  ''peo- 
ple all  the  words  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  for  which  the  Lord 
their  God  had  sent  him  to  them, 
even  all  these  words, 

2  Then  spake  Az-a-rl'ah  the 
son  of  ^H6sli-a-i'ah,  and  '^Jo- 
ha'nan  the  son  of  *Ka-re'ah,  and 
all  the  proud  men,  'saying  un- 
to Jer-e-ml'ah,  Thou  speakest 
falsely:  the  Lord  our  God  hath 
not  sent  thee  to  say,  Go  not  into 
^E'gypt  to  sojourn  there: 

3  But  "Ba'ruch  tlie  son  of  Ne- 
ri'ah  setteth  thee  on  against  us, 
for  to  deliver  us  into  the  hand  of 
the  *Chal-de'ans,  that  they  might 
put  us  to  death,  and  carry  us 
away  captives  into  ^Bab'y-lon. 

4  So  '^ Jo-  ha'nan  the  son  of 
''Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the  ^'captains 
of  the  forces,  and  all  the  people, 
'obeyed  not  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  to  dwell  in  the  land  of 
Ju'dah. 

5  But  '^Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of 
^Iva-re'ah,  and  all  the  ^captains 
of  the  forces,  took  all  the  rem- 
nant of  Ju'dah,  that  were  re- 
turned from  all  nations,  whither 
they  had  been  driven,  to  dwell  in 
the  land  of  Ju'dah; 

6  Even  men,  and  women,  and 
children,  and  the  king's  daugh- 
ters, and  every  person  that 
"'Neb'u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of 
the  guard  had  left  with  "Ged-a- 
li'ah  the  son  of  "A-hl'kam  the 
son  of  ^Sha'phan,  and  °Jer-e- 
mi'ah  the  prophet,  and  ''Ba'ruch 
the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah, 

7  So  they  came  into  the  land  of 
"E'gypt:  for  they  'obeyed  not  the 
voice  of  the  Lord:  thus  came 
they  even  to  *Tah'pan-hes. 

8  Tf  '^Then  came  the  'word  of 


the  Lord  unto  '^Jer-e-mi'ah  in 
*Tah'pan-he.s,  saying, 

9  *''Take  great  stones  in  thine 
hand,  and  "hide  them  in  the  clay 
in  the  brickkiln,  which  is  at  the 
entry  of  Pha'raoh's  house  in 
*Tah'pan-he.s,  in  the  sight  of  the 
men  of  Ju'dah; 

10  And  say  unto  them,  *Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Ls'ra-el;  Behold,  I  will  send 
and  take  *'Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
the  king  of  'Bab'y-lon,  my  serv- 
ant, and  will  set  his  throne  upon 
these  stones  that  I  have  hid;  and 
he  shall  spread  his  royal  pavilion 
over  them. 

11  And  when  he  cometh,  he 
shall  smite  the  land  of  ''E'gypt, 
and  deliver  such  as  are  for  death 
to  death;  and  such  as  are  for 
captivity  to  captivity;  and  such 
as  are  for  the  sword  to  the  sword. 

12  And  I  will  kindle  a  fire  in  the 
houses  of  tlie  gods  of  ''E'gypt; 
and  he  shall  burn  them,  and 
carry  them  away  captives:  and 
he  shal^  array  himself  with  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  as  a  shepherd 
])utteth  on  his  garment;  and  he 
shall  go  forth  from  thence  in 
peace. 

13  He  shall  break  also  the  im- 
ages of  Beth-she'mesh,  that  is 
in  the  land  of  E'gypt;  and  the 
houses  of  the^'gods  of  the  E-gyp'- 
tians  shall  he  burn  with  fire.

the  cities  of  Ju'dah;  and,  behokl, 
this  day  they  are  a  desolation, 
and  no  man  dwelleth  therein. 

3  Because  of  their  ^wickedness 
which  they  have  committed  to 
provoke  me  to  ^anger,  in  that 
they  went  to  'burn  "'incense,  and 
to  serve  other  gods,  whom  the}' 
knew  not,  neither  they,  ye,  nor 
your  fathers. 

4  Ilowheit  "I  "sent  unto  you 
all  my  servants  the  ''prophets,  ris-

ing, Oh,  do  not  this  ^abominable 
thing  that  I  ''hate. 

5  But  they  *'Miearkened  not, 
nor  inclined  their  ear  to  turn 
from  their  wickedness,  to  burn 
no  incense  unto  other  gods. 

6  Wherefore  my  'fury  and  mine 
anger  was  poured  forth,  and  was 
kindled  in  the  cities  of  JuMali 
and  in  the  streets  of  "Je-ru'sa-

desolate,  as  at  this  day. 

7  'J'herefore  now  thus  saith  the 
TvORD,  the  God  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el;  Wherefore  commit  ye 
ihis  great  evil  against  your  souls, 
"to  cut  off  from  you  man  ami

13  For  I  will  "punish  *them 
that  dwell  in  the  land  of  ''E'gypt, 
as  I  have  punished  Je-m'sa-lem,

unto  her,  as  we  have  done,  we, 
and  our  fathers,  our  kings,  and 
our  princes,  in  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah,  and  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem:  "for  then  had  we  plenty 
of  victuals,  and  were  well,  and 
saw  no  evil. 

18  "But  since  we  left  off  to  burn 
'incense  to  the  "queen  of  heaven, 
and  to  pour  out  drink  offerings 
unto  her,  ^we  have  wanted  all 
ihings,  and  have  been  consumed 
by  the  '^sword  and  by  the  *fam-

19  "And  when  we  burned  'in-

and  poured  out  drink  offerings 
unto  her,  did  we  make  her  cakes 
to  worship  her,  and  pour  out 
drink  offerings  unto  her,  without

20  Tf  Then  ^'Jer-e-mi'ah  said 
unto  all  the  people,  to  the  men, 
and  to  the  ''women,  and  to  all  the 
people  which  had  given  him  that 
answer,  saying, 

21  The  'incense  that  ye  burned 
in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the 
streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  ye,  and 
your  fathers,  your  *kings,  and 
your  princes,  and  the  people  of 
the  land,  did  not  the  Lord  re- 
member them,  and  came  it  not 
into  his  mind  ? 

22  So  that  ''the  Lord  could  no 
longer  bear,  because  of  the  *evil 
of  your  doings,  and  because  of 
the  abominations  which  ye  have 
committed;  therefore  is  your 
land  a  "desolation,  and  an  as- 
tonishment, and  a  curse,  with- 
out an  inhabitant,  as  at  this 
day. 

23  Because  ye  have  ^burned 
4ncense,  and  because  ye  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord,  and 
have  'not  obeyed  tlie  voice  of  the 
Lord,  nor  walked  in  his  law, 
nor  in  his  statutes,  nor  in  his 
testimonies;  therefore  this  "evil 


is  happened  unto  you,  as  at  this 
day. 

24  Moreover  *Jer-e-mi'ah  said 
unto  all  the  people,  and  to  all 
the  ^women.  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  all  Ju'dah  that  are 
in  the  land  of  '^E'gypt: 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  say- 
ing; Ye  and  your  wives  have 
both  spoken  with  your  mouths, 
and  fulfilled  with  your  hand, 
saying.  We  will  surely  perform 
our  "vows  that  we  have  voAved, 
to  ''burn  '■incense  to  the  "([ueen 
of  heaven,  and  to  pour  out 
drink  offerings  unto  her:  ye 
will  surely  accomplish  your 
vows,  and  surely  perform  your 
vows. 

26  Therefore  hear  ye  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  all  Ju'dah  that 
dwell  in  the  land  of  '^E'gypt; 
Behold,  I  have  "'"'sworn  by  my 
great  name,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  my  name  shall  no  more  be 
named  in  the  mouth  of  any  man 
of  Ju'dah  in  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  saying.  The  Lord  God 
liveth. 

27  Behold,  I  will  watch  over 
them  for  evil,  and  not  for  good: 
and  all  the  ''men  of  Ju'dah  that 
are  in  the  land  of  '^E'gypt  shall 
be  "consumed  by  the  ''sword  and 
by  the  ''famine,  until  there  be  an 
end  of  them. 

28  *Yet  a  small  number  that 
escape  the  sword  shall  return  out 
of  the  land  of  ''E'gypt  into  the 
land  of  Ju'dah,  and  all  the  rem- 
nant of  Ju'dah,  that  are  gone 
into  the  land  of  E'gypt  to  so- 
journ there,  ^shall  know  whose 
words  shall  stand,  mine,  or 
their's. 

29  Tf  And  this  shall  he  a  sign  un- 
to you,  saith  the  Lord,  that  *I 
will  "punish  you  in  this  place, 
that  ye  may  know  that  my  words 
shall  surely  stand  against  you 
for  evil:

for  thyself?  seek  them  not:  for, 
behold,  I  will  bring  "evil  upon

CHAPTER  46 

Jeremiah  prophesies  the  overthrow  of  Phara- 
oh-nccho's  army  at  the  Euphrates,  i;3  and 
the  conquest  of  Egypt  by  Nebuchadnezzar. 
27  He  comforts  Jacob. 

rPHE  "word  of  the  Lord  whidi 
J-      ''came  to  '^Jer-e-ml'ah   the 
prophet  ^against  the  Gen'tiles; 
2  Against  '^E'gypt,  against  ^he 


army  of  ''Pha'radh-ne'cho  king 
of  E'gypt,  which  was  by  the  river 
^Eu-phnVtes  in  "Car'che-mish, 
which  ''Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king 
of  ^Bab'y-lon  smote  in  the  fourth 
year  of  ^Jc-hoi'a-kTm  the  son  of 
''Jo-sl'ah  king  of  Mu'dah. 

3  Order  ye  the  '"buckler  and 
'"•"shield,  and  draw  near  to 
battle. 

4  Harness  the  "horses;  and  get 
up,  ye  ''horsemen,  and  stand 
forth  with  yotir  *helmets;  fur- 
bish the  '"•''spears,  and  put  on 
the  ^brigandines. 

5  Wherefore  have  I  seen  them 
dismayed  a??(^  turned  away  back? 
and  their  mighty  ones  are  beaten 
down,  and  are  fled  apace,  and 
look  not  back:  for  fear  ^vas  round 
about,  saith  the  Lord. 

6  Let  not  the  swift  flee  away, 
nor  the  mighty  man  escape;  they 
shall  stumble,  and  fall  toward 
the  north  by  the  river  '^Eu-phra'- 
tes. 

7  Who  is  this  tJiat  ^cometh  up  as 
a  flood,  whose  waters  are  moved 
as  the  rivers  ? 

8  ''E'gypt  riseth  up  like  ^a  flood, 
and  his  waters  are  moved  like 
the  rivers;  and  he  saith,  I  will 
go  up,  atid  will  cover  the  earth; 
I  will  destroy  the  city  and  the  in- 
habitants thereof. 

9  Come  up,  ye  horses;  and 
rage,  ye  'chariots;  and  let  the 
mighty  men  ^come  forth;  the 
'E-thi-o'pi'an.s  and  the  T.ib'- 
y-ans,  that  handle  the  shield; 
and  the  "-"Lyd'i-ans,  that  han- 
dle atid  bend  the  *'bow. 

10  "Tor  this  is  the  *day  of  the 
Lord  ^GoD  of  hosts,  a  day  of 
vengeance,  that  he  may  avenge 
him  of  his  adversaries:  and  the 
^sword  shall  devour,  and  it  shall 
be  satiate  and  made  drunk  with 
their  blood:  for  the  Lord  ^God 
of  hosts  hath  a  sacrifice  in  the

11  Go  up  into  ^GiFe-ad,  and 
take  °bahn,  O  virgin,  the  daugh- 
ter of  *E'gypt:  in  vain  shalt  thou 
use  many  '^^ '^medicines;  for  thou 
shalt  not  be  cured. 

12  The  nations  have  heard  of 
thy  shame,  and  thy  cry  hath 
filled  the  land:  for  the  mighty 
man  hath  stumbled  against  the 
mighty,  and  they  are  fallen  both 
together. 

13  Tf  The  ^word  that  the  Lord 
spake  to  ^Jer-e-ml'ah  the  proph- 
et, how  ^Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king 
of  ''Bab'y-loii  should  come  and 
smite  the  land  of  ^E'gypt- 

14  Declare  ye  in  *E'gypt,  and 
publish  in  ^jMTg'dol,  and  publish 
in  ^Noph  and  in  '-'Tah'pan-hes : 
say  ye,  Stand  fast,  and  prepare 
thee;  for  'the  sword  shall  devour 
round  about  thee. 

15  Why  are  thy  valiant  men 
swept  away  ?  they  stood  not, 
because  ""the  Lord  did  drive 
them. 

16  '"He  made  many  to  fall,  yea, 
one  fell  upon  another:  and  they 
said,  Arise,  and  let  us  go  again  to 
our  own  people,  and  to  the  land 
of  our  nativity,  from  the  op- 
pressing  sword. 

17  They  did  cry  there,  "Pha'- 
raoh  king  of  E'gypt  is  but  a 
noise;  he  hath  passed  the  time 
appointed. 

18  As  I  live,  saith  the  "King, 
whose  name  w  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
Surely  as  ^Ta'bor  is  among  the 
mountains,  and  as  ^Car'mel  by 
the  sea,  so  shall  he  come. 

19  O  thou  daughter  dwelling  in 
"E'gypt,  furnish  thyself  to  go 
into  ^captivity:  for  'Noph  shall 
be  waste  and  desolate  without  an 
inhabitant. 

20  "E'gypt  is  like  a  very  fair 


heifer,'6u^  destruction  cometh;  it 
Cometh  out  of  the  north. 

21  Also  her  ''hired  men  are  in 
the  midst  of  her  like  fatted  bul- 
locks; for  they  also  are  turned 
back,  and  are  fled  away  together: 
they  did  not  stand,  because  the 
day  of  their  calamity  was  come 
upon  them,  and  the  time  of  their 
visitation. 

22  The  voice  thereof  shall  go 
like  a  serpent;  for  Hhey  shall 
march  with  an  army,  and  come 
against  her  with  *axes,  as  hewers 
of  wood. 

23  'They  shall  cut  down  her 
forest,  saith  the  Lord,  though 
it  cannot  be  searched;  because 
they  are  more  than  the  ^grass- 
hoppers, and  are  innumerable. 

24  The  daughter  of  "E'gypt 
shall  be  confounded;  'she  shall 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
people  of  the  north. 

25  The  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  saith;  Behold,  I  will 
"punish  the  multitude  of  "No, 
and  'Tha'raoh,  and  E'gypt,  with 
their  gods,  and  their  kings;  even 
Pha'raoh,  and  all  them  that 
"'trust  in  him:

the  hand  of  those  that  seek  their 
lives,  and  into  the  hand  of  ''Neb- 
u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  ''Bab'y- 
lon,  and  into  the  hand  of  his 
servants:  and  afterward  it  shall 
be  inhabited,  as  in  the  days  of 
old,  saith  the  Lord. 

27  ^  But  fear  not  thou,  O  my 
servant  Ja'cob,  and  be  not  dis-

CHAPTER  47 

Tlie  destruction  of  the  Philistines  foretold  by 
Jeremiah. 

THE  "word  of  the  Lord  that 
came  to  *Jer-e-ini'ah  the 
prophet  aorainst  the  ""Phi-lis'- 
tine.s,  before  that  '^Pha'raoh 
smote  ^Ga'za. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Be- 
hold, waters  rise  up  out  of  the 
north,  and  shall  be  an  overflow- 
ing flood,  and  shall  overflow  the 
land,  and  all  that  is  therein;  the 
city,  and  them  that  dwell  there- 
in: then  the  men  shall  cry,  and 
all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land 
shall  howl. 

3  At  the  noise  of  the  stamping 
of  the  hoofs  of  his  strong  ^horse.f, 
at  the  rushing  of  his  ''chariots, 
and  at  the  rumbling  of  his 
wheels,  the  fathers  shall  not  look 
back  to  their  children  for  feeble- 
ness of  hands; 

4  Because  of  the  day  that  com- 
eth  to  spoil  all  the  ''Phi-lis'tine.s, 
and  to  cut  off  from  ^Ty'rus  and 
''Zi'don  every  helper  that  re- 
maineth:  for  the  Lord  will  .spoil 
the  Phi-lTs'tine.s,  the  remnant  of 
the  country  of  Caph'tor, 

5  Baldness  is  come  upon  ^Ga'- 
za;  *Ash'ke-l6n  is  cut  off  with  the 
remnant  of  their  valley :  how  long 
wilt  thou  cut  thyself  ? 

6  O  thou  'sword  of  the  IvORD, 
how  long  will  it  be  ere  thou  be 
quiet  ?  put  up  thy.self  into  thy 
scabbard,  rest,  and  be  still. 

7  How  can  it  be  quiet,  seeing 
the  Lord  hath  given  it  a  charge 
against  'Ash'ke-lon,  and  against 
the  sea  shore  ?  there  hath  he  ap- 
pointed it. 


CHAPTER  48 

Judgments  upon  Moab  for  their  pride,  11 
for  their  security,  14  for  their  carnal  con- 
fidence, 26  and  for  their  contempt  of  God 
and  his  people.  47  The  restoration  of 
JMoab  foretold.

the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  Ls'ra-el;  Woe  unto  *Ne'-

mayed. 

2  ^There  shall  be  no  more 
praise  of  '^Mo'ab :  in  ''Hesh'bon 
they  have  devised  evil  against 
it;  come,  and  let  us  cut  it  off 
from  bei7ig  a  nation.  Also  thou 
ishalt  be  cut  down,  O  MM'- 
men;  the  sword  shall  pursue 
thee. 

3  A  voice  of  crying  shall  be 
from  ''Hor-o-na'im,  spoiling  and 
great  destruction. 

4  °M5'ab  is  destroyed;  her  little 
ones  have  caused  a  cry  to  be 
heard. 

5  For  in  the  going  up  of  ^Lu'- 
hith  continual  wee]:)ing  shall  go 
up;  for  in  the  going  down  of 
'H6r-o-na'im  ^the  enemies  have 
heard  a  cry  of  destruction. 

6  T[  Flee,  save  your  lives,  and  be 
like  the  heath  in  the  wilderness. 

7  For  because  thou  hast  ''trust- 
ed in  thy  works  and  in  thy  treas- 
ures, ''thou  shalt  also  be  taken: 
and  ''Che'mosh  shall  go  forth 
into  'captivity  tcith  his  priests 
and  his  princes  together. 

8  ''And  the  spoiler  shall  come 
upon  every  city,  and  no  city  shall 
escape:  the  valley  also  shall 
perish,  and  the  plain  shall  be 
destroyed,  as  the  Lord  hath 
spoken. 

9  Give  wings  unto  "Md'ab,  that 
it  may  flee  and  get  away:  for  the 
cities  thereof  shall  be  desolate, 
without  any  to  dwell  therein. 

10  Cursed  be  he  that  doeth  the 
work  of  the  Lord  deceitfully, 
and  cursed  be  he  that  keepeth 
back  his  ^sword  from  blood.

20  "Mo'ab  is  confounded;  for  it 
is  broken  down:  howl  and  cry; 
tell  ye  it  in  Ar'non,  that  M5'ab 
is  spoiled, 

21  And  ^judgment  is  come  up- 
on the  plain  country;  upon  Ho'- 


lon,  and  upon  '"Ja-ha'zah,  and 
upon  *Meph'a-ath, 

22  And  upon  "Di'bon,  and  up- 
on ''Ne'bo,  and  upon  'Beth-dib- 
la-tha'im, 

23  And  upon  ''Kir-i-a-tha'im, 
and  upon  Beth-ga'mul,  and  up- 
on "Beth-me'on, 

24  And  upon  '^Ke'rT-oth,  and 
upon  ""Boz'rah,  and  upon  all  the 
cities  of  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  far  or 
near. 

25  The  horn  of  Mo'ab  is  cut 
off,  and  his  arm  is  broken,  saith 
the  Lord. 

26  Tf  Make  ye  him  ^drunken: 
for  he  magnified  himself  against 
the  Lord:  "Mo'ab  also  shall 
wallow  in  his  vomit,  and  he  also 
shall  be  in  derision. 

27  For  was  not  Ls'ra-el  a  deri- 
sion unto  thee  ?  was  he  found 
among  thieves  ?  for  ''since  thou 
s]:)akest  of  him,  thou  skippedst 
for  joy. 

28  O  ye  that  dwell  in  "Mo'ab, 
leave  the  cities,  and  dwell  in  the 
rock,  and  be  like  the  ^dove  tit  at 
maketh  her  nest  in  the  sides  of 
the  hole's  mouth. 

29  We  have  heard  the  ^jjride  of 
"Mo'ab,  (he  is  exceeding  proud) 
his  loftiness,  and  his  arrogancy, 
and  his  pride,  and  the  haughti- 
ness of  his  heart. 

30  I  know  his  wrath,  saith  the 
Lord;  ^but  it  shall  not  be  so; 
his  lies  shall  not  so  effect  it. 

31  Therefore  will  I  howl  for 
"M5'ab,  and  I  will  cry  out  for  all 
Mo'ab;  mine  heart  shall  mourn 
for  the  men  of  ''Kir-he're.s. 

32  O  vine  of  '^Sib'mah,!  will 
weep  for  thee  with  the  weeping 
of  ''Ja'zer:  thy  plants  are  gone 
over  the  sea,  they  reach  even  to 
the  sea  of  Ja'zer:  the  spoiler  is 
fallen  upon  thy  ^summer  fruits 
and  upon  thy  vintage. 

33  ''And  "joy  and  gladness  is 
taken  from  the  plentiful  field, 
and  from  the  land  of  Mo'ab ;  and

I  have  caused  wine  to  fail  from

tread  with  shouting;  their  shout- 
ing sJial!  be  no  shouting. 

34  From  the  cry  of  *Hesh'b6n 
even  unto  'E-le-a'leh,  and  even 
unto  Ja'haz,  have  they  uttered 
their  voice,  from  *Zo'ar  even  un- 
to 'Hor-o-na'im,  as  an  heifer  of 
three  years  old:  for  the  waters 
also  of  '"Niin'riin  shall  be  deso- 
late. 

35  ^Moreover  I  will  cause  to 
cease  in  '^INIo'ab,  saith  the  Lord, 
"him  that  "offereth  in  the  %igh 
places,  and  him  that  burnetii 
'incense  to  his  gods. 

36  Therefore  mine  heart  shall 
sound  for  "Mo'ab  like  pipes,  and 
mine  heart  shall  sound  like  pipes 
for  the  men  of  ''Kir-he'res:  be- 
cause the  riches  that  he  hath  got- 
ten are  perished. 

37  For  every  head  shall  he 
'bald,  and  every  *beard  clipped: 
upon  all  the  hands  shall  he  cut- 
tings, and  upon  the  loins  'sack- 
cloth. 

38  '^There  shall  he  lamentation 
generally  upon  all  the  housetops 
of  Mo'ab,  and  in  the  streets 
thereof:  for  I  have  broken  Mo'ab 
like  a  vessel  wherein  is  no  pleas- 
ure, saith  the  Lord. 

39  "They  .shall  howl,  saijinfj, 
How  is  it  broken  down !  how 
hath  Mo'ab  turned  the  back  with 
shame !  so  shall  Md'ab  be  a  de- 
rision and  a  dismaying  to  all 
them  about  him. 

K)  For  "thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Behold,  he  shall  fly  as  an  "eagle, 
and  shall  spread  his  wings  over 
Mr.'jil). 

41  'Ke'ri-oth  is  taken,  and  the 
strong  holds  are  surprised,  and 
"the  mighty  men's  hearts  in 
Md'ab  at  that  day  shall  be 
as  the  heart  of  a  woman  in  her 
pangs. 

42  And  '^Mo'ab  shall  be  '"de- 
stroyed from  hehiq  a  people,  be- 


cause he  hath  magnified  himself 
against  the  Lord. 

43  "Fear,  and  the  ])it,  and  the 
snare,  shall  be  ujion  thee,  O  in- 
habitant of  "jNIo'ab,  saith  the 
Lord. 

44  "'He  that  fleeth  from  the  fear 
shall  fall  into  the  ]Mt;  and  he  that 
getteth  up  out  of  the  pit  shall  be 
taken  in  the  snare:  for  1  will 
bring  upon  it,  even  upon  "Mo'ab, 
the  year  of  their  visitation,  saith 
the  Lord. 

45  They  that  fled  ''stood  under 
the  shadow  of  *Hesh'b6n  be- 
cause of  the  force:  but  a  fire 
shall  come  forth  out  of  Hesh'-

of  Si'hon,  and  shall  devour  the 
corner  of  Mo'ab,  and  the  crown 
of  the  head  of  the  tumultuous 
ones. 

46  Woe  be  unto  thee,  O  Mo'ab! 
the  people  of  ^Che'mosh  per- 
isheth:  for  thy  sons  are  taken 
^captives,  and  thy  daughters 
captives. 

47  ^Yet  will  I  bring  again  the 
captivity  of  Mo'ab  in  the  latter 
days,  saith  the  Lord.  Thus  far 
is  the  judgment  of  Mo'ab.

by  the  ^hedges;  for  'their  king 
shall  go  into  'captivity,  and  his 
priests  and  his  princes  together. 

4  Wherefore  gloriest  thou  in 
the  valleys,   thy  flowing  valley, 

0  backsliding  daughter?  that 
^trusted  in  her  treasures,  saying 
Who  shall  come  unto  me  ? 

5  Behold,  I  will  *bring  a  fear 
upon  tliee,  saith  the  Lord  "God 
of  hosts,  from  all  those  that 
be  about  thee;  and  ye  shall  be 
driven  out  every  man  right  forth; 
and  none  shall  gather  up  him 
that  wandereth. 

6  And  afterward  ^I  will  bring 
again  the  'captivity  of  the 
"children  of  Am'mon,  saith  the 
Lord. 

7  T[  Concerning  '"E'dom,  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  Is  "wi.s- 
dom  no  more  in  *Te'man  ?  is 
counsel  perished  from  the  pru- 
dent ?  is  their  wisdom  vanished  ? 

8  Flee  ye,  turn  back,  dwell 
deep,  O  inhabitants  of  ^De'dan; 
for  I  will  bring  the  calamity  of 
'"E'sau  upon  him,  the  time  that 

1  will  visit  him. 

9  If  grapegatherers  come  to 
thee,  would  they  not  leave  some 
"gleaning  grapes  ?  if  thieves  by 
night,  they  will  destroy  till  they 
have  enough. 

10  But  I  have  made  "'pysau 
bare,  I  have  uncovered  his  se- 
cret places,  and  he  shall  not  be 
able  to  hide  himself:  his  seed 
is  spoiled,  and  his  brethren,  and 
his  neighbours,  and  he  is  not. 

11  Leave  thy  ^fatherless  chil- 
dren, "I  Avill  '■preserve  ^them 
alive;  and  let  thy  'widows  ''trust 
in  me. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord: 
Behold,    they   whose   judgment 


was  not  to  drink  of  the  "cup  have 
assuredly  drunken;  and  art  thou 
he  that  shall  altogether  go  un- 
punished ?  thou  shalt  not  go 
unpunished,  but  "'■^thou  shalt 
surely  drink  of  it. 

13  For  I  have  ^sworn  by  my- 
self, saith  the  Lord,  that  ^Boz'- 
rah  shall  become  a  desolation,  a 
reproach,  a  waste,  and  a  curse; 
and  all  the  cities  thereof  shall  be 
perpetual  wastes. 

14  I  have  heard  ^a  rumour 
from  the  Lord,  and  an  ambas- 
sador is  sent  unto  the  ^heathen, 
saying,  Gather  ye  together,  and 
come  against  her,  and  rise  up  to 
the  battle. 

15  For,  lo,  I  will  make  ''thee 
small  among  the  ''heathen,  and 
despised  among  men. 

16  Thy  terribleness  hath  ^de- 
ceived thee,  and  the  pride  of 
thine  heart,  O  thou  that  dwellest 
in  the  clefts  of  the  rock,  that 
boldest  the  height  of  the  hill: 
though  thou  shouldest  make  thy 
nest  as  high  as  the  ''eagle,  I  will 
''bring  "thee  down  from  thence, 
saith  the  Lord. 

17  Also  "E'dom  shall  be  a  des- 
olation: every  one  that  goeth  by 
it  shall  be  astonished,  and  shall 
hiss  at  all  the  plagues  thereof. 

18  As  in  the  overthrow  of 
^Sod'om  and  'G6-m6r'rah  and 
the  neighbour  cities  thereof,  saith 
the  Lord,  no  man  shall  abide 
there,  neither  shall  a  son  of  man 
dwell  in  it. 

19  Behold,  he  shall  come  up 
like  a  "lion  from  the  ''swelling  of 
Jor'dan  against  the  habitation  of 
the  strong:  but  I  will  suddenly 
make  him  run  away  from  her: 
and  who  is  a  chosen  ma?i,  that  I 
may  appoint  over  her  ?  for  who 
is  like  me  ?  and  who  will  appoint

32  And  their  "camels  shall  be  a 
booty,  and  the  multitude  of  their

CHAPTER  50 

The  destruction  of  Babi/lon  and  the  restora- 
tion of  Israel  alternately  foretold. 

THE  "word  that  the  Lord 
spake  against  ''Bab'y-lon 
and  against  the  land  of  the 
Chalde'an.s  by  ''Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
projjhet. 

2  Declare  ye  among  the  na- 
tions, and  publish,  and  set  up  a 
'^standard;  publi.sh,  and  conceal 
not:  say,  ''Bab'y-lon  is  taken, 
^Bel  is  confounded,  ]\Ie-ro'dach 
is  broken  in  pieces;  her  ''idols 
are  confounded,  her  images  are 
M^roken  in  pieces. 

3  For  ''out  of  the  north  there 
Cometh  up  a  nation  against  her, 
which  shall  make  her  land  deso- 
late, and  none  shall  dwell  there- 
in: they  shall  remove,  they  shall 
depart,  both  man  and  beast. 

4  ^  In  those  days,  and  in  that 
time,  saith  the  Lord,  ^the  chil- 
dren of  Lsra-el  *shall  come,  they 
and  the  children  of  Ju'dah  to- 
gether, going  and  'weeping:  they 
shall  go,  and  ^'^seek  the  Lord 
their  God. 

5  They  shall  ask  the  way  to 
'Zl'on  with  their  faces  thither- 
ward, saying,  Come,  and  '"let 
us  join  ourselves  to  die  Lord 
in  a  perpetual  "covenant  tJtat 
shall  not  be  forgotten. 

6  "My  peoj>le  hath  been  lost 
''sheep:  their  'shepherds  have 
''caused  them  to  go  astray,  they 
have  turned  them  away  on  the 
mountains:  they  have  gone  from 


mountain  to  hill,  they  have  for- 
gotten their  restingplace. 

7  All  that  found  them  have  de- 
voured them:  and  their  adver- 
saries said.  We  offend  not,  be- 
cause they  have  ^sinned  against 
the  Lord,  the  habitation  of  'jus- 
tice, even  the  Lord,  the  hope  of 
their  fathers. 

8  Remove  out  of  the  midst  of 
*Bab'y-lon,  and  go  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and 
be  as  the  he  goats  before  the 
flocks. 

9  ^  For,  lo,  "'^I  will  raise  and 
cause  to  come  up  against  *Brib'- 
y-lon  '"an  assembly  of  great  na- 
tions from  the  north  country: 
and  ** they  shalF.set  themselves  in 
array  against  her;  from  thence 
she  shall  be  taken:  their  arrows 
.fJiall  be  as  of  a  mighty  expert 
man;  none  shall  return  in  vain. 

10  And  ^Chal-de'a  shall  be  a 
spoil:  all  that  spoil  her  shall  be 
satisfied,  saith  the  Lord. 

11  Because  ye  ^were  glad,  be- 
cause ye  rejoiced,  O  ye  destroy- 
ers of  mine  heritage,  because  ye 
are  grown  fat  as  the  heifer  at 
grass,  and  bellow  as  bulls ; 

12  "Your  mother  shall  be  sore 
confounded;  she  that  bare  you 
sliall  be  ashamed:  behold,  the 
hindermost  of  the  nations  shall 
be  a  wilderness,  a  dry  land,  and 
a  desert. 

13  Because  of  the  'Avrath  of  the 
Lord  "'"it  shall  not  be  inhal)- 
ited,  but  it  shall  be  wholly 
desolate:  every  one  that  goeth  by 
Bab'y-lon  shall  be  astonished, 
and  hiss   at  all  her  plagues. 

14  "Put  yourselves  in  array 
against  Bab'y-lon  round  about: 
all  ye  that  bend  the  bow,  shoot 
at  her,  spare  no  arrows:  for  she 
hath  sinned  against  the  Lord. 

15  Shout  against  her  round 
about:  she  hath  ^given  her  hand: 
her  foundations  are  fallen,  her 
walls  are  thrown  down:  for  it  is

done,  do  unto  her.

dleth  the  ^sickle  in  the  time  of 
"harvest:  for  fear  of  the  oppress-

17  ^  Is'ra-el  is  a  scattered

him  away:  first  the  king  of  *As- 
syr'i-a  hath  devoured  him;  and 
last  this  ''Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  hath  broken 
his  bones.

Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  I.s'-

the  ''king  of  Bab'y-lon  and  his

pangs  as  of  a  woman  in  travail. 

44  Behold,  he  shall  come  up 
like  a  "lion  from  the  "swelling 
of  Jor'dan  imto  the  habitation 
of  the  strong:  but  °I  will  make 
them  suddenly  run  away  from 
her:  and  who  is  a  chosen  man, 
that  I  may  appoint  over  her? 
for  who  is  like  ''me  ?  and  who 
will  appoint  me  the  time  ?  and 
who  is  that  shepherd  that  will 
stand  before  me? 

45  Therefore  hear  ye  the  coun- 
sel of  the  Lord,  that  he  hath 
taken  against  'Bab'y-lon;  and 
his  purposes,  that  he  hath  pur- 
posed against  the  land  of  the 
Chal-de'ans:  Surely  ^^the  least 
of  the  flock  shall  draw  them 
out:  surely  he  shall  make  their 
habitation  desolate  with  them. 

46  At  the  noise  of  the  taking  of 
'Bab'y-lon  the  earth  is  moved, 
and  the  cry  is  heard  among  the 
nations.

ye  not  her  young  men;  destroy  ye 
utterly  all  her  host. 

4  Tlius  "the  slain  shall  fall  in 
the  "land  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and 
they  that  are  thrust  through  in 
her  streets. 

5  For  "-''Is'ra-el  hath  not  been 
forsaken,  nor  Ju'dah  of  his  God, 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts;  though 
their  land  was  filled  with  sin 
against  the  'Holy  One  of  Ls'ra-el. 

6  Flee  out  of  the  midst  of 
"■'Bab'y-lon,  and  deliver  every 
man  his  *soul:  be  not  cut  off  in 
her  iniciuity;  for  this  is  the  time 
of  the  Lord's  vengeance;  he  will 
render  unto  her  a  "recompence. 

7  Bab'y-lon  hath  been  a  golden 
^cup  in  the  Lord's  hand,  that 
made  all  the  earth  ^drunken: 
the  nations  have  drunken  of  her 
™wine;  therefore  the  nations  are 
mad. 

8  Bab'y-lon  is  suddenly  "fallen 
and  destroyed:  howl  for  her;  take 
"•''balm  for  her  pain,  if  so  be  she 
may  be  healed. 

9  We  would  have  healed  Bilb'y- 
lon,  but  she  is  not  healed:  for- 
sake her,  and  let  us  go  every 
one  into  his  own  country:  for 
her  "judgment  reacheth  unto 
heaven,  and  is  lifted  up  even  to 
the  skies. 

10  The  Lord  hath  brought 
forth  our  righteousness:  come, 
and  let  us  ^declare  in  Zi'on  the 
work  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

11  Make  bright  the  ^arrows; 
gather  the  ^'shields:  the  Lord 
hath  rai.sed  up  the  spirit  of  the 
kings  of  the  ''Medes:  for  his  de- 
vice is  against  "Bfib'y-lon,  to 
"destroy  it;  because  it  is  the  Ven- 
geance of  the  Lord,  the  ven- 
geance of  his  temple. 

12  Set  up  the  'standard  upon 
the  walls  of  Bab'y-lon,  make  the 
watch  strong,  set  up  the  watch- 
men, prepare  the  "-"ambushes: 
for  the  Lord  hath  both  de- 
ll 


vised  and  done  that  which  he 
spake  against  the  inhabitants  of 
Bab'-y-lon. 

13  O  "thou  that  dwellest  upon 
many  waters,  abundant  in  treas- 
ures, thine  end  is  come,  and  the 
measure  of  thy  "covetousness. 

14  The  Lord  of  hosts  hath 
^sworn  by  himself,  saying,  Sure- 
ly I  will  fill  thee  with  men,  as 
with  \-aterpillers;  and  they  shall 
lift  up  a  shout  against  thee. 

15  He  hath  ^'made  the  ^earth  by 
his  ''power,  he  hath  established 
the  world  by  his  "wisdom,  and 
hath  stretched  out  the  ''heaven 
by  his  "understanding. 

16  When  he  uttereth  his  voice, 
there  is  a  multitude  of  waters  in 
the  heavens;  and  ''he  causeth  the 
'^vapours  to  ascend  from  the  ends

will  I  break  in  pieces  the  young

23  I  will  also  break  in  pieces 
with  ^thee  the  shepherd  and  his 
flock;  and  with  thee  will  I  break 
in  pieces  the  husbandman  and 
!iis  yoke  of  oxen;  and  with  thee 
will  I  break  in  pieces  ^captains 
and  rulers. 

24  And  I  will  'render  unto 
'^Bab'y-lon  and  to  all  the  inhab- 
itants of  Chal-de'a  all  their  evil 
that  they  have  done  in  Zl'on  in 
your  sight,  saith  the  Lord. 

25  Behold,  I  am  against  thee, 
O  destroying  mountain,  saith 
the  Lord,  which  destroyest  all 
the  earth:  and  *I  will  stretch  out 
mine  hand  upon  thee,  and  roll 
thee  down  from  the  rocks,  and 
will  make  thee  a  burnt  moun-

thee  a  stone  for  a  corner,  nor  a 

j  stone  for  foundations;  but  *thou 
'  shalt  be  desolate  for  ever,  saith 
the  Lord. 

27  Set  ye  up  a  'standard  in  the

the  nations,  prepare  the  na- 
tions against  her,  call  together 
against  her  the  kingdoms  of 
"Ar'a-rat,  Min'nl,  and  "Asli'che- 
niiz;  appoint  a  captain  against 
her;  cause  the  horses  to  come 
uj)  as  the  rough  ^''caterpillers. 

2S  Prepare  against  her  the  na- 
tions with  the  kings  of  the  ^JNIe- 
des,  the  "ca})tains  thereof,  and 
all  the  ^^rulers  thereof,  and  all 
the  land  of  his  dominion. 

29  And  the  land  shall  tremble 
and  sorrow:  for  every  purpose  of 
the  Lord  shall  be  performed 
against  ''Bab'y-lon,  to  ^make  the 
land  of  Bab'y-lon  a  desolation 
without  an   inhabitant. 

30  The  mighty  men  of  Bab'y- 
lon  have  forborn  to  fight,  they 
have  remained  in  their  holds: 
their  might  hath  failed;  they 
became  as  women:   ^they  have 


burned  her  dwellingplaces;  her 
bars  are  broken. 

31  One  "post  shall  run  to  meet 
another,  and  one  messenger  to 
meet  another,  to  shew  the  king 
of  *Bab'y-lon  that  his  city  is 
taken  ^^at  one  end, 

32  And  that  the  passages  are 
'^stopped,  and  the  I'eeds  they 
have  burned  with  fire,  and  the 
men  of  war  are  affrighted. 

33  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Ls'ra-el;  The 
daughter  of  ''Bab'y-lon  is  like 
a  threshingfloor,  ^^it  is  time  to 
thresh  her:  yet  a  little  while,  and 
the  time  of  her  harvest  shall 
come. 

34  ''Neb-u-chad-i'ez'zar  the  king 
of  Bab'y-lon  hath  devoured  me, 
he  hath  crushed  me,  he  hath 
made  me  an  empty  vessel,  he 
hath  swallowed  me  up  like  a 
dragon,  he  hath  filled  his  belly 
with  my  '"delicates,  he  hath  cast 
me  out. 

35  The  violence  done  to  me  and 
to  my  flesh  be  upon  *Bab'y-lon, 
shall  the  inhabitant  of  Zi'on  say; 
and  my  blood  upon  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Chal-de'a,  shall  Je-rvi'sa- 
lem  say. 

36  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  plead  thy 
cause,  and  take  vengeance  for 
thee;  and  I  will  '^dry  up  her  sea, 
and  make  her  springs  dry. 

37  And  "Bal/y-lon  shall  be- 
come heaps,  a  dwellingplace  for 
'^dragons,  an  astoniship.ent,  and 
an  hissing,  without  an  inhabit- 
ant. 

38  They  shall  roar  together  like 
'^lions:  they  shall  ^^yell  as  lions' 
whelps.

their  feasts,  and  I  will  make 
them  'drunken,  that  they  may 
rejoice,  and  sleep  a  perpetual

41  How  is  ^She'shach  taken  ! 
and  how  is  the  praise  of  the

Bab'y-lon  become  '"an  astonish- 
ment among  the  nations  ! 

42  ''The  sea  is  come  up  upon 
Bal)'y-lon:  she  is  covered  with  the 
multitude  of  the  waves  thereof. 

43  ''Her  cities  are  a  desolation, 
a  dry  land,  and  a  wilderness,  a 
land  wherein  no  man  dwelleth, 
neither  doth  any  son  of  man  pass 
thereby. 

44  And  *I  will  punish  ^Bel  in 
*Bab'y-lon,  and  I  will  l)ring  forth 
out  of  his  mouth  that  which  he 
hath  swallowed  up:  and  the  na- 
tions shall  not  flow  together  any 
more  unto  him :  yea,  the  ^Avall  of 
Bab'y-lon  shall  fall. 

45  ]\Iy  people,  go  ye  out  of  the 
midst  of  ^her,  and  deliver  ye 
every  man  his  soul  from  the 
fierce  '"anger  of  the  Lord. 

46  And  lest  your  heart  faint, 
and  ye  fear  for  the  rumour  that 
shall  be  heard  in  the  land;  a  ru- 
mour shall  both  come  one  year, 
and  after  that  in  another  year 
shall  come  a  rvunour,  and  vio- 
lence in  the  land,  ruler  against 
ruler. 

47  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  that  I  will  do  judgment 
upon  the  ^graven  images  of 
''Bab'y-lon:  and  her  whole  land 
shall  be  confounded,  and  all  her 
slain  shall  fall  in  the  midst  of 
her. 

48  Then  the  heaven  and  the 
earth,  and  all  that  is  therein, 
shall  sing  for  "Bab'y-lon:  for  the 
spoilers  shall  come  unto  her 
from  the  north,  saith  the  Lord. 

49  As  Bab'y-lon  hath  caused 
the  slain  of  Is'ra-el  to  fall,  so  at 
^•'^Bab'y-lon  shall  fall  the  slain 
of  all   the   earth.

remember  the  Lord  afar  off, 
and  let  "Je-rii'sa-lem  come  into 
your  mind. 

51  We  are  confounded,  be- 
cause we  have  heard  reproach: 
shame  hath  covered  our  faces :  for 
strangers  are  come  into  the  sanc- 
tuaries of  the  ''Lord's  house. 

52  Wherefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
do  judgment  upon  her  ^graven 
imarres :  and  throuo;h  all  her  land 
the  wounded  shall  groan. 

53  Though  ''Bab'y-lon  should 
mount  up  to  heaven,  and  though 
she  should  fortify  the  height  of 
her  strength,  yet  ^from  me  '^shall 
spoilers  come  unto  her,  saith  the 
Lord.

from  Bab'y-lon,  and  great  de- 
struction from  the  land  of  the 
Chal-de'ans: 

55  Because  ''the  Lord  hath 
^spoiled  Bab'y-lon,  and  de- 
strf)yed  out  of  her  the  great  voice ; 
when  her  waves  do  roar  like 
great  waters,  a  noise  of  their 
voice  is  uttered: 

56  Because  '^the  spoiler  is  come 
upon  her,  even  upon  Bab'y-lon, 
and  her  mighty  men  are  taken, 
every  one  of  their  bows  is  broken : 
for  the  Lord  God  of  recom- 
pences  shall  surely  requite.

her  mighty  men:  and  they  shall 
sleep  a  perpetual  sleep,  and  not

Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Ne-rl'ah, 
the  son  of  'Ma-a-se'iah,  when 
he  went  with  "Zed-e-ki'ah  the 
king  of  "Ju'dah  into  Bab'y-lon 
in  the  fourth  year  of  his  reign. 
And  this  Ser-a-i'ah  was  ^^a  quiet 
prince. 

60  So  *Jer-e-mI'ah  wrote  in  a 
"'book  all  the  ^evil  that  should 
come  upon  ''Bab'y-lon,  even  all 
these  ^words  that  are  written 
against  Bab'y-lon. 

61  And  *Jer-e-mi'ah  said  to 
Ser-a-i'ah,  When  thou  comest  to 
Bab'y-lon,  and  shalt  see,  and 
shalt  read  all  these    ^words; 

62  Then  shalt  thou  say,  O 
Lord,  thou  hast  spoken  against 
this  place,  to  ^cut  it  off,  that  none 
shall  remain  in  it,  neither  man 
nor  beast,  but  that  it  shall  be 
desolate  for  ever. 

63  And  it  shall  be,  when  thou 
iiast  made  an  end  of  reading  this 
"book,  that  ^thou  shalt  bind  a 
stone  to  it,  and  ^cast  it  into  the 
midst  of  "Eu-phra'te,s : 

64  And  thou  shalt  say,  Thus 
sliall  ''Bab'y-lon  sink,  and  shall 
not  rise  from  the  '^evil  that  I  will 
bring  upon  her:  and  they  shall  be 
weaiy.  Thus  far  are  the  words  of 
'^Jer-e-ml'ah. 

CHAPTER  52 

Zedekiah  rebels.  4  Jerusalem  is  besieged 
and  taken.  8  Zedekiah's  sons  are  killed, 
his  own  eyes  put  out,  and  he  carried 
captive  to  Babylon.  12  Nebuzar-adan 
spoils  and  burns  the  temple  and  city.  24 
He  carries  aivay  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land  as  captives.  31  Evil-merodach  ad- 
vances tlie  king,  Jehoiachin. 

"yRD-E-KFAH  tvas  one  and 
^  twenty  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned 
eleven  years  in  ''Je-ru'sa-lem. 
And  his  mother's  name  tvas 
'^Ha-mu'tal  the  daughter  of  '^Jer- 
e-ml'ah  of  '^Lib'nah. 

2  And  "•'^he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord, 
^•%ccording  to  all  that  "Je-hoi'a- 
kim  had  done. 

3  For  through  the  '^anger  of  the 


Lord  it  came  to  pass  in  Je-rii'- 
sa-lem  and  Ju'dah,  till  he  had 
'cast  them  out  from  his  presence, 
that°Zed-e-kl'ah  rebelled  against 
the  ^king  of  ^'Bab'y-lon. 

4  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in  the 
tenth  ^month,  in  the  tenth  day  of 
the  month,  that  'Neb-u-chad- 
rc'z'zar  king  of  ^Bab'y-lon  came, 
he  and  all  his  army,  against '"  Je- 
rii'sa-lem,  and  pitched  against  it, 
and  built  "forts  against  it  round 
about. 

5  So  the  '"city  was  ''besieged 
unto  the  eleventh  year  of  king 
"Zed-e-kl'ah. 

6  And  in  the  fourth  ^month,  in 
the  ninth  clay  of  the  month,  the 
^famine  was  sore  in  the  city,  so 
tliat  there  was  no  bread  for  the 
jieople  of  the  land. 

7  Then  ^che  ''city  was  broken 
up,  and  all  the  men  of  war  fled, 
and  went  forth  out  of  the  city  by 
night  by  the  way  of  the  *gate  be- 
tween the  two  walls,  which  tvas 
by  the  king's  garden;  (now  the 
'Ciial-de'ans  ivere  by  the  city 
round  about:)  and  they  went  by 
the  way  of  the  ^plain. 

8  But  the  army  of  the  ^Chal- 
de'ans  pursued  after  the  king, 
and  overtook  "Zed-e-kl'ah  in  the 
"plains  of  Jer'i-cho;  and  all  his 
army  was  scattered  from  him. 

9  Then  they  took  the  "king,  and 
carried  him  up  unto  the  %ing 
of  ^Bab'y-lon  to  ^Rib'lah  in  the 
la  nd  of  ""Ha'math ;  where  he  gave 
judgment  upon  him. 

"  10  And  the  %ing  of  ^Bab'y-lon 
■'^'  ^slew  the  sons  of  °Zed-e-ki'ah 
before  his  eyes:  he  slew  also 
all  the  princes  of  Ju'dah  in 
Tlib'lah. 
11  Then  he  ^'^put  oul  the  eyes 
of  "Zed-e-ki'ah ;  and  the  •'king  of 
^'Bab'y-lon  bound  him  in  chains, 
and  carried  him  to  Bab'y-lon, 
and  put  him  in  ^prison  till  the 
day  of  his  death.

12  T[  Now  in  tlie  fifth  ''month, 
in  the  tentli  dai/  of  the  month, 
which  was  the  nineteenth  year 
of  *Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of 
''Bab'y-lon,  came  ''Neb'u-zar-a'- 
dan,  "^captain  of  the  (juard,  whicJi 
served  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  in- 
to ''Je-ru'sa-lem, 

13  And  ''burned  the  %ouse  of 
the  LoRi>,  and  tlie  'king's  house; 
and  all  the  houses  of  ^Je-rii'sa- 
lera,  and  all  the  houses  of  the 
great  men,  burned  he  with  fire: 

14  And  all  the  army  of  the 
^'Chtil-de'ans,  that  were  with 
tiie  ^ca})tain  of  the  guard,  brake 
down  all  the  *walls  of  Je-ru'sa- 
l&m  round  about. 

15  Then  '^Xeb'u-ziir-aMan  the 
^captain  of  the  guard  'carried 
away  captive  certain  of  the  poor 
of  the  people,  and  the  residue  of 
the  people  that  remained  in  the 
city,  and  those  that  fell  away, 
that  fell  to  the  king  of  '^Bab'y- 
lon,and  the  rest  of  the  multitude. 

16  But  '^Neb'u-ziir-a'dan  the 
^captain  of  the  guard  left  certain 
of  the  poor  of  the  land  for  '"vine- 
dressers and  for  husbandmen. 

17  Also  the  "pillars  of  "brass 
that  iirre  in  the  ''house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  bases,  and  the 
''brasen  sea  that  wa.t  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  the  Chal-de'an.s 
brake,  and  carried  all  the  brass 
of  them  to  Bab'y-lon. 

18  Tlie  ^caldrons  also,  and  the 
''shovels,  and  the  'siniffers,  and 
the  'bowls,  and  the  "spoons,  and 
all  the  vessels  of  "braids  where- 
with they  ministered,  took  they 
away. 

19  And  the  ''ba.sons,  and  the 
'''firepans,  and  the  'bowls,  and 
the  ^caldrons,  and  the  ^candle- 
sticks, and  the  "spoons,  and  tlie 
"cups;  that  which  was-  of  ^gold  in 
gold,  and  that  which  was  of  "sil- 
ver in  silver,  took  the  ''captain  of 
the  guard  away. 

20  The  "^two  ''pillars,  one  ^sea. 


and  twelve  ^brasen  bulls  that 
were  under  the  bases,  which  king 
''SoFo-mon  had  made  ^in  the 
''house  of  the  Lord:  the  brass 
of  all  these  vessels  was  without 
weight. 

21  x\nd  concerning  the  ''pil- 
lars, the  height  of  one  pillar  was 
eighteen  ^-^cubits;  and  a  ^fillet  of 
twelve  cubits  did  compass  it;  and 
the  thickness  thereof  was  ^-^'four 
fingers:  it  was  hollow. 

22  And  a  ^-'chapiter  of  'brass 
was  upon  it;  and  the  height  of 
one  ^chapiter  toas  five  '^cubits, 
with  network  and  "'pomegran- 
ates upon  the  ^chapiters  round 
about,  all  of  brass.  The  second 
pillar  also  and  the  pomegranates 
were  like  unto  these. 

23  And  there  were  ninety  and 
six  "'pomegranates  on  ®a  side; 
a?id  all  the  pomegranates  upon 
the  netAvork  were  an  hundred 
round  about. 

24  T[  And  the  ''captain  of  the 
guard  took  "Ser-a-l'ah  the  chief 
"priest,  and  ^Zeph-a-ni'ah  the 
second  priest,  and  the  three 
^keepers  of  the  door: 

25  He  took  also  out  of  the 
city  an  ^eunuch,  which  had  the 
charge  of  the  men  of  war;  and 
seven  men  of  them  that  were 
near  the  king's  person,  which 
were  found  in  the  city;  and  the 
^principal  ''scribe  of  the  host, 
who  mustered  the  people  of  the 
land;  and  threescore  men  of  the 
jieople  of  the  land,  that  were 
found  in  the  midst  of  the  city. 

26  So  »Neb'u-ziir-aM(an  the 
"captain  of  the  guard  took  them, 
an(l  brought  them  to  the  'king  of 
"Bab'y-lon  to  "llTb'lah. 

27  And  the  'king  of  "Bab'y-lon 
smote  them,  and  "'put  them  to 
death  in  "Rib'lah  in  the  land 
of  ^Ha'math.  Thus  Ju'dah  was 
^carried  away  captive  out  of  his 
own  land.

CHAPTER  I 

Tlie  miserable  condilion  o/  Jerusalem  by 
reason  of  her  sins.  12  She  comiAains  of 
her  afjlictions.  18  and  confesses  God's 
judoment  to  be  just. 

"TTOW  doth  the  *city  sit  soli- 
-L-L  tary,  that  was  full  of 
people!  how  is  she  become  as 
a  widow!  she  that  was  great 
among  the  nations,  a?id  princess 
among  the  provinces,  hoiv  is  she 
become  tributary! 

2  She  weepeth  sore  in  the  night, 
and  her  tears  are  on  her  cheeks: 
among  all  her  lovers  she  hath 
none  to  comfort  her:  all  her 
friends  have  dealt  treacherously 
with  her,  they  are  become  her 
enemies. 

3  Ju'dah  is  gone  into  "-'^captiv- 
ity because  of  affliction,  and  be- 
cause of  great  servitude:  she 
dwelleth  among  the  heathen,  she 
findeth  no  rest:  all  her  persecu- 
tors overtook  her  between  the 
straits. 


4  'The  ways  of  ''Zl'on  do  mourn,

ously sinned;  therefore  ''she  is 
^removed:  all  that  honoured  her 
despise  her,  because  they  have 
seen  her  nakedness:  yea,  she 
sigheth,  and  turneth  backward. 

9  Her  'filthiness  is  in  her  skirts; 
she  remeinbereth  not  her  last 
end;  therefore  she  came  down 
wonderfully:  she  had  no  com- 
forter. '"O  Lord,  behold  my 
affliction:  for  the  enemy  hath 
magnified  himself. 

10  The  adversary  hath  spread 
out  his  hand  upon  all  her  pleas- 
ant things:  for  she  hath  seen 
that  the  *heathen  entered  into 
her  "sanctuary,  whom  thou  didst 
command  that  they  should  not 
enter  into  thy  congregation. 

11  "'All  her  people  sigh,  they 
seek  bread;  they  have  given  their 
pleasant  things  for  meat  to  re- 
lieve the  soul:  see,  O  Lord,  and 
consider;  for  I  am  become  vile. 

12  T[  Is  it  nothing  to  you,  all 
ye  that  pass  by  ?  behold,  and  see 
if  there  be  any  sorrow  like  unto 
my  "sorrow,  which  is  done  unto 
me,  wherewith  the  Lord  hath 
''•'afflicted  7ne  in  the  day  of  his 
fierce  ^anger. 

13  ^'Trom  above  hath  he  sent 
'fire  into  my  bones,  and  it  pre- 
vaileth  against  them:  he  hath 
spread  a  net  for  my  feet,  he  hath 
turned  me  back:  he  hath  made 
me  desolate  and  faint  all  the 
day. 

14  The  '■yoke  of  my  transgres- 
sions is  bound  by  his  hand:  they 
are  wreathed,  and  come  up  u])on 
my  neck:  he  hath  made  my 
strength  to  fall,  the  Lord  hath 


delivered  me  into  their  hands, 
from  whom  I  am  not  able  to 
rise  up. 

15  ''•'The  Lord  hath  trodtlen 
under  foot  all  my  mighty  men  in 
the  midst  of  me:  he  hath  called 
an  assembly  against  me  to  crush 
my  young  men:  the  Ivord  hath 
trodden  the  virgin,  the  daughter 
of  Ju'dah,  as  in  a  ^winepress. 

16  For  these  things  I  'weep; 
mine  eye,  mine  eye  runneth  down 
with  water,  because  the  com- 
forter that  should  relieve  my 
soul  is  far  from  me:  my  chil- 
dren are  desolate,  because  the 
enemy  prevailed. 

17  ''•''Zi'on  spreadeth  forth  her 
hands,  and  there  is  none  to  com- 
fort her:  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded concerning  Ja'cob,  tJiat 
his  adversaries  should  be  round 
about  him:  ''Je-ri/sa-lem  is  ''as 
a  menstruous  woman  among 
them. 

18  ^  ''The  Lord  is  "righteous; 
for  I  have  rebelled  against  his 
commandment:  hear,  I  pray  you, 
all  ■'^people,  and  behold  my  sor- 
row: my  virgins  and  my  young 
men  are  gone  into  "•'^captivity. 

19  I  called  for  my  lovers,  but 
they  deceived  me:  my  priests  and 
mine  elders  gave  up  the  ghost  in 
the  city,  while  they  sought  their

CHAPTER  2 

Tlie  chastisement  of  Zion  is  from  the  Lord. 
11  The  prophet's  lamentation.  20  His 
complaint  to  God. 

"■"TJOWhatli  the  Lord  covered 
J-L  the  daughter  of  '"Zi'on 
with  a  cloud  in  his  '^anger,  and 
cast  down  from  heaven  unto  the 
earth  the  beauty  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
remembered  not  his  ^footstool  in 
the  day  of  his  anger! 

2  The  Lord  hath  swallowed  uj) 
all  the  habitations  of  JaV'ob,  and 
hath  not  ''pitied:  he  hath  thrown 
down  in  his  wrath  the  strong 
holds  of  the  daughter  of  Ju'dah; 
he  hath  brought  them  down  to 
the  ground:  he  hath  polluted  the 
kingdom  and  the  princes  tliereof . 

3  He  hath  cut  off  in  his  fierce 
''anger  all  the  horn  of  Is'ra-el:  he 
hath  dra^\^l  back  his  right  hand 
from  before  tiie  enemy,  and  he 
burned  against  Ja'cob  like  a  flam- 
ing fire,  which  devoureth  round 
about. 

4  He  hath  bent  his  ''bow  like  an 
enemy:  he  stood  with  his  right 
hand  as  an  adversary,  and  slew 
all  that  ivere  pleasant  to  the  eye 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  daughter 
of  ''Zfon:  he  poured  out  his  fury 
like  fire. 


5  The  Lord  was  as  an  enemy: 
he  hath  swallowed  up  Ls'ra-el, 
lie  hath  swallowed  up  all  her  pal- 
aces: he  hath  destroyed  his  strong 
holds,  and  hath  increased  in  the 
daughter  of  Ju'dah  *mourning 
and  lamentation. 

6  And  he  hath  violently  taken 
away  his  tabernacle,  as  i]  it  ivere 
of  a  garden:  he  hath  destroyed 
his  places  of  the  assembly:  the 
Lord  hath  caused  the  ''solemn 
'feasts  and  ^sabbaths  to  be  for- 
gotten in  Zi'Sn,  and  hath  de- 
spised in  the  indignation  of  his 
''anger  the  king  and  the  priest. 

7  The  Lord  hath  cast  off  his 
altar,  he  hath  abhorred  his 
'sanctuary,  he  hath  given  up  into 
the  hand  of  the  enemy  the  walls 
of  her  palaces ;  they  have  made  a 
noise  in  the  %ouse  of  the  Lord, 
as  in  the  day  of  a  solemn  feast. 

8  The  lyORD  hath  purposed  to 
destroy  the  wall  of  the  daughter 
of  '^Zl'on:  he  hath  stretched  out 
a  line,  he  hath  not  withdrawn 
his  hand  from  destroying:  there- 
fore he  made  the  rampart  and 
the  wall  to  lament;  they  lan- 
guished  together. 

9  'Her  gates  are  sunk  into  the 
ground;  he  hath  destroyed  and 
broken  her  bars:  her  king  and 
her  princes  are  among  the  ^Gen'- 
tlle.s:  the  law  is  no  more;  '"her 
prophets  also  find  no  '^vision 
from  the  Lord. 

10  The  elders  of  the  daughter 
of  ''Zi'on  "sit  upon  the  ground, 
and  keep  silence:  they  have 
cast  up  "dust  upon  their  heads;

the  anointed  of  the  Lord,  was 
taken  in  their  pits,  of  whom  we 
"said,  Under  his  shadow  we  shall

EMEMBEll,  O  Lord. 
what  is  come  upon  us: 
consider,  and  behold  our  re- 
proach. 

2  ''•'^Our  inlieritance  is  turned 
to  '^strangers,  our  houses  to 
aliens. 

3  *''^We  are  "'"orphans  and  fa- 
therless, our  mothers  are  as 
'widows. 

4  ''•'^•''We  have  drunken  our  wa- 
ter for  money;  'our  wood  is  sold 
unto  us. 

5  ".c./Q^j.  'necks  arc  under  per- 
secution :  we  labour,  and  have  no 
rest. 

6  We  have  ^given  the  ''hand 
to  the  *E-o;yji'tian.s,  and  to  the 
''As-syr'i-an.s,  to  be  satisfied 
with  bread. 

7  Our  fathers  have  'sinned,  and 
arenot;  and*we  have  'borne  their 
iniquities. 

8  Servants  have  ruled  over  us: 
tJtere  is  none  that  doth  deliver  u.s 
out  of  their  hand. 

9  We  gat  our  bread  with  the 
peril  of  our  lives  because  of  the 
sword  of  the  wilderness. 

10  Our  skin  was  black  like  an 
oven  because  of  the  ^terrible 
'"famine. 

11  They  "-"ravished  the  ^wo- 


men hi  Zl'on,  and  the  maids  in 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah.

their  hand:  the  faces  of  elders 
were  not  honoured. 

13  ^Tliey  ''took  tlie  "young  men 
to  '■grind,  and  the  children  "fell 
under   the  wood. 

14  The  eklers  have  ceased  from 
the  gate,  the  young  men  from 
their  musick. 

15  The  joy  of  our  heart  is 
ceased;  our  Mance  is  turned  into 
'mourning.

1  R.  V.  And  their 
faces  and  their 
wings  were  sep- 
arate above; 


3  The  ^word  of  the  Lord 
came  expressly  unto  ^E-ze'ki-el 
the  priest,  the  son  of  Bu'zi,  in  the 
land  of  the  '^Chal-de'an.s  by  the 
river  *Che'bar;  and  the  hand  of 
the  Lord  was  there  upon  him. 

4  II  And  +1  %oked,  and,  be- 
hold, a  ^whirlwind  came  out  of 
the  north,  a  o;reat  cloud,  and  a 
fire  infolding  itself,  and  a  bright- 
ness teas  about  it,  and  out  of  the 
midst  thereof  as  the  colour  of ''am- 
ber, out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire. 

5  Also  out  of  the  midst  thereof 
came  the  likeness  of  four  living 
creatures.  And  this  icas  their 
appearance;  they  had  the  like- 
ness of  a  man. 

6  And  every  one  had  four  faces, 
and  every  one  had  four  wings. 

7  And  their  feet  were  straight 
feet;  and  the  sole  of  their  feet 
teas  like  the  sole  of  a  calf's  foot: 
and  they  sparkled  like  the  col- 
our of  burnished  'brass. 

8  And  iheij  laid  the  hands  of  a 
man  under  their  wings  on  their 
four  sides;  and  they  four  had 
their  faces  and  their  wings, 

9  Their  wings  were  joined  one 
to  another;  they  turned  not  when 
they  went;  they  went  every  one 
straight  forward. 

10  As  for  the  likeness  of  their 
faces,  they  four  had  the  face  of  a 
man,  and  the  face  of  a  'lion,  on 
the  right  side:  and  they  four  had 
the  face  of  an  ox  on  the  left  side; 
they  four  also  had  the  face  of  an 
*eagle. 

11  'Thus  were  their  faces:  and 
their  wings  were  stretched  up- 
ward; two  wings  of  every  one 
were  joined  one  to  another,  and 
two  covered  their  bodies. 


12  And  they  went  every  one 
straight  forward:  whither  the 
spirit  was  to  go,  they  went;  and 
they  turned  not  when  they  went. 

13  As  for  the  likeness  of  the  liv- 
ing creatures,  their  appearance 
was  like  burning  coals  of  fire,  and 
like  the  ap]:)earance  of  ^lamps: 
it  went  vip  and  down  among  the 
living  creatures;  and  the  fire  was 
bright,  and  out  of  the  fire  went 
forth  ^lightning. 

14  And  the  living  creatures  ran 
and  returned  as  the  appearance 
of  a  flash  of  liorhtnino;. 

15  1  Now  as  I  beheld  the  liv- 
ing creatures,  behold  one  '"wheel 
upon  the  earth  by  the  living  crea- 
tures, h\\i\\  his  four  faces. 

16  The  appearance  of  the 
'"wheels  and  their  work  was  like 
unto  the  colour  of  a  -^beryl:  and 
they  four  had  one  likeness:  and 
their  ajijiearance  and  their  work 
ivas  as  it  were  a  wheel  in  the 
middle  of  a  wheel. 

17  When  they  went,  they  went 
upon  their  four  sides:  and  they 
turned  not  when  they  went. 

18  As  for  their  rings,  they  were 
so  high  that  they  were  dreadful; 
and  their  rings  were  full  of  eyes 
round  about  them  four. 

19  And  when  the  living  crea- 
tures went,  the  '"wheels  went  by 
them:  and  when  the  living  crea- 
tures were  lifted  up  from  the 
earth,  the  wheels  were  lifted  up. 

20  Whithersoever  the  spirit  was 
to  go,  they  went,  thither  was  their 
spirit  to  go;  and  the  '"wheels 
were  lifted  up  over  against  them: 
for  the  spirit  of  the  living  crea- 
ture was  in  the  wheels.

and  when  those  stood,  these 
stood;  and  when  those  were  lifted 
up  from  the  earth,  the  '"wheels 
were  lifted  up  over  against  them : 
for  the  spirit  of  the  living  crea- 
ture ^cas  in  the  wheels. 

22  And  the  likeness  of  the 
firmament  upon  the  heads  of  the 
living  creature  icas  as  the  colour 
of  the  terrible  "crystal,  stretched 
forth  over  their  heads  above. 

23  And  under  the  firmament 
icere  their  wings  straight,  the  one 
toward  the  other:  every  one  had 
two,  which  covered  on  this  side, 
and  every  one  had  two,  which 
covered  on  that  side,  their  bodies. 

24  And  when  they  went,  I 
heard  the  noise  of  their  wings, 
like  the  noise  of  great  waters,  as 
the  voice  of  the  Almighty,  the 
voice  of  speech,  as  the  noise  of 
an  host:  when  they  stood,  they 
let  down  their  wings. 

25  And  there  was  a  voice  ^from 
the  firmament  that  was  over  their 
heads,  when  they  stood,  ajid  had 
let  down  their  wings. 

26  ^  And  above  the  firmament 
that  was  over  their  heads  was 
tlie  likeness  of  a  "throne,  as  the 
appearance  of  a  ^-'sapphire 
stone:  and  upon  the  likeness  of 
the  throne  was  the  likeness  as 
the  appearance  of  a  man  above 
upon  it. 

27  And  I  saw  as  the  colour  of 
''amber,  as  the  appearance  of  fire 
round  about  within  it,  from  the 
appearance  of  his  loins  even  up- 
ward, and  from  the  a])[)earance 
of  his  loins  even  downward,  1 
saw  as  it  were  the  appearance 
of  fire,  and  it  had  brightness 
round  about. 

28  As  the  ''appearance  of  the 
'bow  that  is  in  the  cloud  in  the 
day  of  'rain,  so  teas  the  appear- 
ance of  the  brightness  round 
about.  This  was  the  appearance 
of  the  likeness  of  the  "glory  of 
the  Lord.  And  when  I  saw  it,  I 


fell  upon  my  face,  and  I  heard  a 
voice  of  one  that  spake. 

CHAPTER  2 

Ezckicl's  commission.     6  His  instructions. 
9  The  roll  of  a  book  spread  before  him. 

AND  he  "said  unto  *me.  Son 
of  man,  stand   upon    thy 
feet,  and  I  will  speak  unto  thee. 

2  And  the  "spirit  entered  into 
*me  when  he  spake  unto  me,  and 
set  me  upon  my  feet,  that  I  heard 
liim  that  spake  unto  me. 

3  And  he  said  unto  *me.  Son  of 
man,  I  '^send  thee  to  the  children 
of  Ls'ra-el,  to  ^a  rebellious  na- 
tion that  hath  rebelled  against 
me:  they  and  their  fathers  have 
transgressed  against  me,  even 
unto  this  very  day. 

4  For  they  are  impudent  chil- 
dren and  "^stiffhearted.  I  do 
"-'send  thee  unto  them;  and  "thou 
shalt  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

5  And  they,  whether  they  will 
hear,  or  whether  they  will  for- 
bear, (for  they  are  a  rebellious 
house,)  yet  shall  know  that  there 
hath  been  a  "prophet  among 
them. 

6  Tl  And  thou,  son  of  man,  ''■''be 
not  afraid  of  them,  neither  ])e 
afraid  of  their  words,  though 
-'briers  and  ''thorns  he  with  thee, 
and  thou  dost  dwell  among  \scor- 
pions:  "'^be  not  afraid  of  their 
words,  nor  be  dismayed  at  their 
looks,  though  they  he  a  rebellious 
house. 

7  And  h\io\x  shalt  speak  my 
words  unto  them,  whether  they 
will  hear,  or  whether  they  will 
forbear:  for  they  are  most  re- 
bellious. 

8  But  thou,  son  of  man,  liear 
what  I  say  unto  thee;  'Be  not 
thou  rebellious  like  that  rebel- 
lious house:  open  thy  mouth, and

me;  and,  lo,  a  roll  of  a  "'book  icas 
therein; 

10  And  he  spread  it  before  me; 
and  it  tvas  written  within  and 
without:  and  there  was  written 
therein  lamentations,  and  mourn- 
ing, and  woe. 

CHAPTER  3 

Tlie  prophet  is  commanded  to  cat  the  roil  of 
the  book.  4  God  encourages  liim.  13 
The  office  and  duty  of  the  prophet  22 
God  shuts  and  opens  the  prophet's  mouth. 

MOREOVER  he  said  unto 
me,  Son  of  man,  eat  that 
thou  findest;  eat  this  "roll,  and 
go  speak  unto  the  house  of  I§'- 
ra-el. 

2  So  I  opened  my  mouth,  and 
he  caused  me  to  eat  that  "roll. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  cause  tliy  belly  to  eat,  and 
fill  thy  bowels  with  this  roll  that 
I  give  thee.  Then  did  I  eat  it; 
and  it  was  in  my  mouth  as  honey 
for  sweetness. 

4  Tl  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  go,  get  thee  unto  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  *speak  with  my 
words  unto  them. 

5  For  thou  art  not  sent  to  a  peo- 
ple of  a  strange  speech  and  of  an 
hard  language,  hut  to  the  house 
of  I.§'ra-el; 

6  Not  to  many  ^people  of  a 
strange  speech  and  of  an  hard  lan- 
guage, whose  words  thou  canst 
not  understand.  Surely,  had  I 
sent  thee  to  them,  they  would 
have  hearkened  unto  thee. 

7  But  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  will 
''not  hearken  unto  thee;  for  they 
will  not  hearken  unto  me:  for  all 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el  are  ^•'^impu- 
dent  and  hardhearted. 

8  Behold,  I  have  made  *thy 
face  ^strong  against  their  faces, 
and  thy  forehead  ^strong  against 
tb^ir  foreheads. 

9  '^As  an  Adamant  harder  than 
^flint  have  I  made  thy  forehead: 
''•'fear  them  not,  neitlier  be  dis- 
mayed at  their  looks,  though  they 
he  a  rebellious  house. 


10  Moreover  he  said  unto  me, 
Son  of  man,  all  my  words  that 
I  shall  ^-'"^speak  unto  thee  're- 
ceive in  thine  heart,  and  hear 
with  thine  ears. 

11  And  go,  get  thee  to  them  of 
the  '"captivity,  unto  the  children 
of  thy  people,  and  *speak  unto 
them,  and  tell  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  whether  they 
will  hear,  or  whether  they  will 
forbear. 

12  Then  the  spirit  took  me  up, 
and  I  heard  behind  me  a  voice  of 
a  great  rushing,  saying,  Blessed 
he  the  ^glory  of  the  Lord  from 
his  place. 

13  I  heard  also  the  noise  of 
the  wings  of  the  living  creatures 
that  touched  one  another,  and 
the  noise  of  the  wheels  over 
against  them,  and  a  noise  of  a 
great  rushing. 

14  So  the  spirit  lifted  me  up, 
and  took  me  away,  and  I  went 
in  bitterness,  in  the  heat  of  my 
spirit;  but  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  strong  upon  me. 

15  ^  Then  I  came  to  them  of 
the  '"captivity  at  Tel-a'bib,  that 
dwelt  by  the  river  of  "Che'bar, 
and  I  sat  where  they  sat,  and  re- 
mained there  astonished  among 
them  ^seven  days. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  tlie 
end  of  ^seven  days,  that  the 
^word  of  the  Lord  '•''^came  unto 
me,  saying, 

17  Son  of  man,  I  have  made 
''thee  a  '"'^watchman  unto  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el:  therefore  hear 
the  word  at  my  mouth,  and  give 
them  'warning  from  me. 

18  When  I  say  unto  the  wicked, 
Thou  shalt  surely  die;  and 
thou  givest  him  not  'warning, 
nor  speakest  to  warn  the  wicked 
from  his  wicked  way,  to  save 
his  life;  the  same  wicked  vum 
shall  Mie  in  his  iniquity;  but 
"his  blood  will  I  require  at  thine 
hand.

29.1, 


19  Yet  if  thou  *''warn  the 
wicked,  and  he  turn  not  from 
his  wickedness,  nor  from  his 
wicked  way,  he  ""shall  die  in  his 
iniquity;  but  "thou  hast  delivered 
thy  soul. 

20  Again,  When  a  righteous  ma/? 
doth  ^turn  from  his  righteous- 
ness, and  commit  iniquity,  and 
I  lay  a  '^stumblingblock  before 
him,  he  shall  die:  ^'because  thou 
hast  not  given  him  warning,  he 
shall  die  in  his  sin,  and  his  right- 
eousness which  he  hath  done 
shall  not  be  remembered;  but 
'his  blood  will  I  require  at  thine 
hand. 

21  Nevertheless  if  *thou  warn 
the  righteous  man,  that  the  right- 
eous sin  not,  and  he  doth  ^not 
sin,  he  shall  surely  live,  because 
he  is  warned;  also  *'thou  hast  de- 
livered thy  soul. 

22  Tf  And  "the  hand  of  the 
Lord  was  there  upon  ^me;  and 
he  said  unto  me,  Arise,  go  forth 
into  the  plain,  and  I  will  there 
talk  with  thee. 

23  Then  *I  arose,  and  went 
forth  into  the  plain:  and,  behold, 
the  "glory  of  the  Lord  stood 
there,  as  the  gloiy  which  I  saw 
by  the  river  of  ^Che'bar:  and  I 
fell  on  my  face. 

24  Then  the  spirit  entered  into 
''me,  and  set  me  upon  my  feet, 
and  spake  with  me,  and  said 
unto  me.  Go,  shut  thyself  within 
thine  house. 

25  But  thou,  O  son  of  man,  be- 
hold, they  shall  put  bands  upon 
thee,  and  shall  bind  thee  witli 
them,  and  thou  shalt  not  go  out 
among  them: 

2G  And  I  will  make  thy  tongue 
cleave  to  the  roof  of  thy  mouth, 
that  thou  shalt  be  dumb,  and 
shalt  not  be  to  them  a  reprover: 
for  they  are  a  ^rebellious  house. 

27  But  when  I  speak  with  thee, 
I  will  open  tliy  mouth,  and  "thou 
shalt  say  unto  (hem.  Thus  saith 


the  Lord  God;  He  that  heareth, 
let  him  hear;  and  he  that  for- 
beareth,  let  him  forbear:  for  they 
are  a  'rebellious  house. 

CHAPTER  4 

The  siege  of  Jerusalem  prefigured,  and  the 
punishment  to  be  inflicted  on  the  inhabit- 
ants. 9  The  severity  of  the  famine 
typified. 

THOU  also,  son  of  man,  *take 
thee  a  tile,  and  lay  it  be- 
fore thee,  and  '^•'^  ]5ourtray  upon 
it  the  city,  even  '^Je-ri/stl-lem: 

2  *.<^.<^And  lay  ^siege  against  it, 
and  build  a  fort  against  it,  and 
cast  a  ''mount  against  it;  set  the 
camp  also  against  it,  and  set 
'^battering  rams  agauist  it  round 
about. 

3  ''Moreover  take  thou  unto 
thee  an  iron  pan,  and  ''•'^set  it 
for  a  wall  of  iron  between  thee 
and  the  city:  and  set  thy  face 
against  it,  and  it  shall  be  'be- 
sieged, and  thou  shalt  lay  siege 
against  it.  This  shall  be  a  '^sign 
to  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  ''•'^•'^Lie  thou  also  upon  thy 
left  side,  and  lay  the  iniquity  of 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el  upon  it: 
according  to  the  number  of  the 
days  that  thou  shalt  lie  upon  it 
thou  shalt  bear  their  iniquity. 

5  For  I  have  laid  upon  thee  the 
years  of  their  ini(iuity,  accord- 
ing to  the  number  of  the  days, 
three  hundred  and  ninety  days: 
so  shalt  thou  bear  the  iniquity  of 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  ''•'^■'^And  when  thou  hast  ac- 
complished them,  ^■''•'^lie  again

bear  the  iniquity  of  the  house  of

|)ointe(l  thee  each  day  for  a  year. 

7  Therefore  thou  shalt  set  thy 
face  toward  the  'siege  of  '^Je-rii'- 
sa-lem,  and  thine  arm  shall  hr 
uncovered,  and  thou  shalt  pro])]i-

thee  %heat,  and  ^barley,  and

number  of  the  days  that  thou 
shalt  lie  upon  thy  side,  three 
hundred  and  ninety  days  shalt 
thou  eat  thereof. 

10  And  thy  meat  which  thou 
shalt  eat  shall  be  by  weight, 
twenty  "shekels  a  day:  from  time 
to  time  shalt  thou  eat  it. 

1 1  Thou  shalt  drink  also  "water 
by  ''measure,  tlie  sixth  part  of  an 
hin :  from  time  to  time  shalt  thou 
drink. 

12  And  thou  shalt  eat  it  as  *bar-

it  with  dung  that  cometh  out  of

13  And  the  Lord  said,  ^'''■''Even 
thus  shall  the  children  of  I.s''ra-el 
eat  their  defiled  *bread  among  the 
^Gen'tiles,  whither  I  will  drive 
them. 

14  Then  said  I,  Ah  Lord  God! 
behold,  my  soul  hath  not  been 
polluted:  for  from  my  youth  up 
even  till  now  have  I  not  eaten  of 
'that  which  dieth  of  itself,  or 
is  torn  ^in  pieces;  neither  came 
there  abominable  flesh  into  my 
mouth. 

15  Then  he  said  unto  me,  Lo,  I 
have  given  thee  cow's  dung  for 
man's  dung,  and  thou  shalt  pre- 
pare thy  *bread  therewith. 

16  Moreover  he  said  unto 
me.  Son  of  man,  behold,  1  will 
*break  the  stafl'  of  *bread  in 


'' Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  they  shall  eat 
bread  by  weight,  and  with  care; 
and  they  shall  drink  ''water  by 
^measure,  and  with  astonishment. 
17  That  they  may  *want  *bread 
and  "water,  and  be  astonied  one 
with  another,  and  ^consume  away 
for  their  inicjuity. 

CHAPTER  5 

Under  the  type  of  hair,  cut  with  a  sword, 
burnt,  and  scattered  by  the  wind, are  shown 
the  judgments  of  God  upon  Jerusalem  for 
her  rebellion,  12  by  famine,  su'ord,  and 
dispersion. 

AND  "thou,  son  of  man, 
*■  '^•'^take  thee  a  sharp  ^knife, 
take  thee  a  barber's  razor,  and

2  ''.c.'i'X'hou  shalt  burn  with  fire 
a  third  part  in  the  midst  of  the 
city,  when  the  days  of  the  ''siege 
are  fulfilled:  and  thou  shalt  take 
a  third  part,  and  smite  ^about  it 
with  a  knife:  and  a  third  part 
thou  shalt  scatter  in  the  wind; 
and  I  will  draw  out  a  sword  after 
them. 

3  Thou  shalt  also  take  thereof

than  the  nations,  and  my  statutes 
more  than  the  countries  that  are 
round  about  lier:  for  they  have 
refused  my  judo'inents  and  my 
statutes,  they  have  'not  walked 
in  them. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Because  ye  ^multiplied 
more  than  the  nations  that  are 
round  about  you,  and  have  'not 
walked  in  my  statutes,  neither 
have  kept  my  judgments,  neither

8  Therefore  tiius  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Behold,  I,  even  I,  am 
against  thee,  and  will  'execute 
"'judgments  in  the  midst  of  thee 
in  the  sight  of  the  nations. 

9  And  '"I  will  do  in  thee  that 
which  I  have  not  done,  and  where- 
unto  I  will  not  do  any  more  the 
like,  because  of  all  thine  abom- 
inations. 

10  '"Therefore  the  fathers  shall 
"eat  the  sons  in  the  midst  of  thee, 
and  the  sons  shall  eat  their  fa- 
thers; and  I  will  '^execute  judg- 
ments in  thee,  and  the  whole 
remnant  of  thee  will  I  scatter 
into  all  the  winds. 

11  Wherefore,  a.f  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Surely,  because 
thou  hast  "defiled  my  sanctuary 
with  all  thy  ^detestable  things, 
and  with  all  thine  abominations, 
therefore  will  I  also  dimini.sh 
thee;  neither  shall  mine  eye  spare, 
neither  will  I  have  any  *pity. 

12  ^  '"A  third  part  of  thee 
shall  die  with  the  ''pestilence,  and 
with  "famine  shall  tliey  be  con- 
sumed in  the  midst  of  thee:  and 
a  third  part  shall  fall  by  the 
'sword  round  about  thee;  and  I 
will  scatter  a  third  part  into  all

sword  after  them. 

13  Thus  shall  mine  ^anger  be 
accomplished,  and  ^1  will  cause 


my  fury  to  rest  upon  them,  and 
I  will  be  comforted:  and  "they 
shall  know  that  I  the  Lord  have 
spoken  7'/  in  my  zeal,  when  I  have 
accomplished  my  fury  in  them. 

14  '"jNIoreover  I  will  make  thee 
waste,  and  a  reproach  among  the 
nations  that  are  round  about 
thee,  in  the  sight  of  all  that 
pass  by. 

15  So  it  shall  be  a  reproach  and 
a  taunt,  an  instruction  and  an  as- 
tonishment unto  the  nations  that 
are  round  about  thee,  when  I 
shall  'execute  '"judgments  in  thee 
in  "anger  and  in  fury  and  in 
furious  rebukes.  I  the  Lord 
have  spoken  it. 

16  When  I  shall  send  upon 
them  the  evil  '^arrows  of  "famine, 
which  shall  be  for  tJieir  *destruc-

destroy  you:  and  I  will  increase 
the  famine  upon  you,  and  will 
break  your  staff  of  ^bread: 

17  So  will  I  send  upon  you 
"famine  and  evil  ^beasts,  and 
they  shall  bereave  thee;  and 
''pestilence  and  blood  shall  pass 
through  thee;  and  I  will  bring

CHAPIER  8 

The  prophet  in  a  vision  beholds  the  image  of 
jealousy  in  the  temple:  7  also  the  elders 
sacrificing  in  the  cham'Jcr  of  imagery, 
13  women  weeping  for  Tammuz,  15  and 
men  tvorshiping  the  sun.  17  God\  wrath 
for  their  idolatry. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
sixth  year,  in  the  sixth 
"month,  in  the  fifth  day  of  the 
month,  as  "I  sat  in  mine  house, 
and  the  '^elders  of  JuMah  sat  be- 
fore me,  that  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  God  '^fell  there  upon 
me. 

2  Then  I  ^beheld,  and  lo  a  like- 
ness as  the  appearance  of  fire: 
from  the  appearance  of  his  loins 
even  downward,  fire;  and  from 
his   loins  even  upward,  as  the 


appearance  of  brightness,  as  the 
colour  of  ^amber. 

3  And  he  put  forth  the  form  of 
an  hand,  and  took  me  b}^  a  lock 
of  mine  head;  and  the  spirit  lift- 
ed me  up  between  the  earth  and 
the  heaven,  and  brought  me  in 
the  "visions  of  God  to  "Je-ru'- 
sa-lem,  to  the  door  of  the  'in- 
ner gate  that  looketh  toward  the 
north;  where  tvas  the  seat  of  the 
''image  of  "^jealousy,  which  pro- 
voketh  to  jealousy. 

4  And,  behold,  the  'glory  of  the 
God  of  l.s'ra-el  was  there,  ac- 
cording to  the  "vision  that  I  saw 
in  the  plain. 

5  ^  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Son 
of  man,  lift  up  thine  eyes  now 
the  way  toward  the  north.  So 
I  lifted  up  mine  eyes  the  way 
toward  the  north,  and  behold 
northward  at  the  gate  of  the 
altar  this  ''image  of  ^jealousy  in 
the  entry. 

6  He  said  furthermore  unto  me. 
Son  of  man,  seest  thou  what  they 
do  ?  even  the  great  *abomina- 
tions  that  the  house  of  Ls'ra-el 
committeth  here,  that  I  should 
go  far  off  from  my  ^sanctuary  ? 
but  turn  thee  yet  again,  and  thou 
shalt  see  greater  abominations. 

7  ^  And  he  brought  me  to  the 
door  of  the  '"court;  and  when  I 
looked,  behold  a  hole  in  the  wall. 

8  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  dig  now  in  the  wall:  and 
when  I  had  digged  in  the  wall, 
behold  a  door. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me.  Go  in, 
and  behold  the  wicked  ''^abomi- 
nations that  they  do  here. 

10  So  I  went  in  and  saw;  and 
behold  ever}'  form  of  "'"creeping 
things,  and  abominable  beasts, 
and  all  the  idols  of  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  pourtrayed  upon  the 
^wall  round  about. 

1 1  And  there  stood  before  them 
"seventy  men  of  the  ^ancients  of 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  in  the

midst  of  them  stood  Ja-az-a- 
ni'ah  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  with 
every  man  his  ^censer  in  his 
hand ;  and  ^a  thick  cloud  of  ''in- 
cense went  up. 

12  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  hast  thou  seen  what  the 
^ancients  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
*do  in  the  dark,  every  man  in 
the  chambers  of  his  imagery  ?  for 
they  '-"say,  "-"'The  Lord  seeth 
us  not;  the  Lord  hath  forsaken 
the  earth. 

13  Tf  He  said  also  unto  me, 
Turn  thee  yet  again,  and  thou 
shalt  see  greater  ''^abominations 
that  they  do. 

14  Then  he  brought  me  to  the 
door  of  the  gate  of  the  Lord's 
'house  which  was  toward  the 
north;  and,  behold,  there  sat 
^women  weeping  for  "Tam'muz. 

15  ^  Then  said  he  unto  me. 
Hast  thou  seen  this,  O  son  of 
man  ?  turn  thee  yet  again,  and 
thou  shalt  see  greater  '^'abomina- 
tions  than  these. 

16  And  he  brought  me  into 
the  ™inner  court  of  the  Lord's 
house,  and,  behold,  at  the  door 
of  the  'temple  of  the  Lord,  be- 
tween the  porch  and  the  altar, 
were  about  five  and  twenty  men, 
with  their  backs  toward  the  tem- 
ple of  the  Lord,  and  their  faces 
toward  the  east;  and  they  wor- 
shipped the  "•''sun  toward  the 
east. 

17  t  Then  he  said  unto  me, 
Hast  thou  seen  this,  O  son  of 
man  ?  Is  it  a  light  thing  to  the 
house  of  Ju'dah  that  they  com- 
mit the  Abominations  which  they 
commit  here  ?  for  they  have  filled 
the  land  with  violence,  and  have 
returned  to  'provoke  me  to  ''anger : 
and,  lo,  they  put  the  branch  to 
their  nose. 

18  Therefore  will  I  also  deal  in 
fury:  mine  eye  shall  not  spare, 
neither  will  I  have  "pity:  and 
though   they  cry   in   mine  ears 


with  a  loud  voice,  '^yet  will  I  not 
hear  them. 

CHAPTER  9 

A  vision  typifying  the  preservation  of  some 
of  the  people,  5  and  the  destruction  of  the 
rest.  8  God  will  not  be  entreated  for 
them. 

HE  cried  also  in  mine  ears 
with  a  loud  voice,  saying, 
Cause  them  that  have  charge 
jver  the  city  to  draw  near,  even 
every  man  witJi  his  destroying 
weapon  in  his  hand. 

2  And,  '^behold,  six  men  came 
from  the  way  of  the  higher  gate, 
which  lieth  toward  the  north, 
and  every  man  a  slaughter  weap- 
on in  his  hand;  and  one  man 
among  them  was  clothed  with 
''linen,  with  a  writer's  inkhorn  by 
his  side:  and  they  went  in,  and 
stood  beside  the  brasen  ''altar. 

3  And  the  ''glory  of  the  God  of 
Ts^ra-el  was  gone  up  from  the 
''cherub,  whereupon  he  was,  to 
the  threshold  of  the  house.  And 
he  called  to  the  man  clothed  with 
"linen,  which  had  the  writer's 
inkhorn  by  his  side; 

4  And  the  ''Lord  said  unto  him. 
Go  through  the  midst  of  the  city, 
through  the  midst  of  ''Je-ni'sa- 
lem,  and  set  a  mark  upon  the 
foreheads  of  the  men  ''that  sigh 
and  that  cry  for  all-  the  *abom- 
inations  that  be  done  in  the 
midst  thereof. 

5  And  to  the  others  he  said  in 
mine  hearing,  Go  ye  after  him 
through  the  city,  and  ''-'smite:  let 
not  your  eye  spare,  neither  have 
ye  ^pity: 

6  'Slay  utterly  old  and  young, 
both  maids,  and  little  children, 
and  women:  but  ^come  not  near 
any  man  upon  whom  is  the 
mark;  and  begin  at  my  'sanctu- 
ary. Then  they  began  at  the  an- 
cient men  which  were  before  the 
house. 

7  And  he  said  unto  them.  De- 
file the  house,  and  fill  the  '"courts

the^^  went  forth,  and  %lew  in  the 
city. 

8  T[  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
they  were  slaying  them,  and  I 
was  left,  that  I  fell  upon  my  face, 
and  '^cried,  and  said.  Ah  Lord 
God!  wilt  thou  destroy  all  the 
residue  of  Ls'ra-el  in  thy  pouring 
out  of  thy  fury  upon  "Je-ru'sa- 
lem  ? 

9  Then  said  he  unto  me,  The 
iniquity  of  the  house  of  Ls'ra-el 
and  Ju'dah  is  exceeding  great, 
and  the  land  is  full  of  blood,  and 
the  city  full  of  'perverseness:  for 
they  "'^say,  'The  Lord  hath  for- 
saken the  earth,  and  ''the  Lord 
seeth  not. 

10  And  as  for  me  also,  mine 
eye  shall  not  spare,  neither  will 
I  have  '^'pity,  hut  I  will  'recom- 
pense their  way  upon  their  head. 

11  And,  behold,  the  man 
clothed  with  *linen,  which  had 
the  inkhorn  by  his  side,  reported 
the  matter,  saying,  I  have  done 
as  thou  hast  commanded  me. 

CHAPTER  10 

The  vision  of  the  coals  of  fire,  to  be  scattered 
over  the  city.  8  The  vision  of  the  cheru- 
bim. 

THEN  °I  looked,  and,  *behold, 
in  the  firmament  that  was 
above  the  head  of  the  '^cheru- 
bims  there  appeared  over  them 
as  it  were  a  ''"  ''sapphire  stone,  as 
the  appearance  of  the  likeness 
of  a  throne. 

2  And  he  spake  unto  the  man 
clothed  with  Hinen,  and  said,  Go 
in  between  the  wheels,  even  un- 
der the  '^cherub,  and  fill  thine 
hand  with  coals  of  fire  from  be- 
tween the  cherubims,  and  scat- 
ter them  ever  the  city.  And  he 
went  in  in  my  sight. 

3  Now  the  '^cherubims  stood  on 
the  right  side  of  the  %ouse, 
when  the  man  went  in;  and  the 
cloud  filled  the  ''inner  court. 

4  Then  the  glory  of  the  Lord 

11 


went  up  from  the  ''cherub,  and 
stood  over  the  threshold  of  the 
"house;  and  the  house  was  filled 
with  the  cloud,  and  the  ''court 
was  full  of  the  brightness  of  the 
Lord's  glory. 

5  And  the  sound  of  the  cher- 
ubims' wings  was  heard  even 
to  the  ''outer  court,  as  the  voice 
of  the  ^Almighty  God  when  he 
speaketh. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  he  had  commanded  the 
man  clothed  with  ''linen,  saying, 
Take  fire  from  between  the 
wheels,  from  between  the  ''cher- 
ubims; then  he  went  in,  and 
stood  beside  the  wheels. 

7  And  one  cherub  stretched 
forth  his  hand  from  between  the 
cherubims  unto  the  fire  that  was 
between  the  cherubims,  and 
took  thereof,  and  put  it  into  the 
hands  of  him  that  was  clothed 
with  linen:  who  took  it,  and 
went  out. 

8  T[  And  there  appeared  in  the 
"cherubims  the  form  of  a  man's 
hand  under  their  wings. 

9  And  when  I  ''looked,  behold 
the  four  wheels  by  the  cheru- 
bims, one  wheel  by  one  cherub, 
and  another  wheel  by  another 
cherub:  and  the  appearance  of 
the  wheels  tvas  as  the  colour  of  a 
'beryl  stone. 

10  And  as  for  their  appear- 
ances, they  four  had  one  like- 
ness, as  if  a  wheel  had  been  in 
the  midst  of  a  wheel. 

11  When  they  went,  they  went 
upon  their  four  sides;  they  turn- 
ed not  as  they  went,  but  to  the 
place  whither  the  head  looked 
they  followed  it;  they  turned  not 
as  they  went. 

12  And  their  whole  body,  and 
their  backs,  and  their  hands,  and 
their  wings,  and  the  wheels, 
laere  full  of  eyes  round  about, 
even  the  wheels  that  they  four 
had.

was  the  face  of  a  man,  and  tlie 
thirtl  tlie  face  of  a  ^lion,  and  the 
fourth  the  face  of  an  'eagle. 

15  And  the  "^cherubims  ^were 
lifted  up.  This  is  the  living  crea- 
ture that  I  saw  by  the  river  of

16  And  when  the  ''cherubims 
went,  the  wheels  went  by  them: 
and  when  the  cherubims  lifted

"glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  was 
over  them  above. 

20  This  is  the  living  creature 
that  I  saw  under  the  God  of  T.s'- 
ra-el  by  the  river  of  '"Che'biir; 
and  I  knew  that  they  ivere  the 
'^cherubims. 

21  Every  one  had  four  faces 
apiece,  and  every  one  four  wings ; 
and  the  likeness  of  the  hands  of 
a  man  was  under  their  wings. 

22  And  the  likeness  of  their 
faces  was  the  same  faces  which 

1  saw  by  the  river  of  '"Che'- 
bar,  their  appearances  and  them- 
selves: they  went  every  one 
straight  forward. 


CHAPTER  11 

The  presumption  ot  the  princes.  4  Their 
sin  and  punishment.  IR  God's  gracious 
purpose  in  the  chastisement  of  his  people. 
22  The  glory  of  God  leaves  the  city.  24 
The  end  of  the  vision. 


MOREOVER  the  spirit  lifted 
'^me  up,  and  brought  me 
unto  the  eas*-  gate  of  the  Lord's 
''hou.se,  which  looketh  eastward: 
and  behold  at  the  door  of  the 
gate  five  and  twenty  meir  among 
whom  I  saw  Ja-Sz-a-ni'ah  the 
son  of  A'zur,  and  Pel-a-ti'ah  the 
son  of  Be-na'iah,  princes  of  the 
people. 

2  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  these  are  the  men  that  de- 
vise 'mischief,  and  give  wicked 
counsel  in  this  city: 

3  Which  '^•'^■^say,  Ut  is  not  near; 
let  us  build  houses:  this  cifi/  is 
the  ^caldron,  and  we  be  the  flesh. 

4  ^  Therefore  prophesy  against 
them,  prophesy,  O  son  of  man. 

5  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
fell  u])on  °me,  and  said  unto  me, 
''Speak;  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Thus  have  ye  said,  O  house  of 
Ts'ra-el:  for  I  ''know  the  things 
that  come  into  your  'mind,  evert/ 
one  of  them. 

6  Ye  have  multiplied  your  slain 
in  this  city,  and  ye  have  filled  the 
streets  thereof  with  the  slain. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Your  slain  whom  ye  have 
laid  in  the  midst  of  it,  they  are 
the  flesh,  and  this  city  is  the  ^cal- 
dron: but  I  will  bring  you  forth 
out  of  the  midst  of  it. 

8  Ye  have  feared  the  sword; 
and  ^I  will  bring  a  *sword  upon 
you,  saith  the  I^ord  God. 

9  And  I  will  bring  you  out  of 
the  midst  thereof,  and  'deliver 
you  into  the  hands  of  strangers, 
and  will  execute  judgments 
among  you. 

10  "'Ye  shall  fall  by  the  ^sword; 
I  will  judge  you  in  the  border  of 
Ts'ra-el;  and  "ye  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  I>ord.

Mark  1:4. 


11  This  city  shall  not  be  your 
^caldron,  neither  shall  ye  be  the 
flesh  in  the  midst  thereof;  hut  I 
will  judge  you  in  the  border  of 
Is'ra-el: 

12  And  "ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord:  for  ye  have  "not 
walked  in  my  statutes,  neither  ex- 
ecuted my  judgments,  but  have 
done  after  the  manners  of  the  ^hea- 
then that  are  round  about  you. 

13  %  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
"I  "prophesied,  that  Pel-a-ti'ah 
the  son  of  Be-na'iah  died.  Then 
fell  I  down  upon  my  face,  and 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  and  said, 
''Ah  Lord  God!  wilt  thou  make 
a  full  end  of  the  remnant  of 
T.s'ra-el  ? 

14  T[  Again  the  *word  of  the 
Lord  ''came  unto  "me,  saying, 

15  Son  of  man,  thy  brethren, 
even  thy  brethren,  the  men  of 
thy  kindred,  and  all  the  hou.se 
of  Is'ra-el  wholly,  are  they  unto 
whom  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem  have  said.  Get  you  far 
from  the  Lord:  unto  us  is  this 
land  given  in  possession. 

16  Therefore  say.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Although  I  have 
cast  them  far  off  among  the 
^heathen,  and  although  I  have 
scattered  them  among  the  coun- 
tries, ''•^yet  will  I  be  to  them  as 
a  ^little  'sanctuary  in  the  coun- 
tries where  they  shall  come. 

17  Therefore  *say,  "Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  I  will  even  gather 
you  from  the  ^people,  and  as- 
semble you  out  of  the  countries 
where  ye  have  been  scattered, 
and  I  will  give  you  the  land  of 
Is'ra-el. 

18  And  they  shall  come  thither, 
and  they  shall  "take  away  all  the 
detestable  things  thereof  and  all 
the  abominations  thereof  from 
thence. 


19  And  I  will  "'give  them  one 
^heart,  and  I  will  ^put  a  new 
spirit  within  you;  and  I  will  take 
the  stony  heart  out  of  their  flesh, 
and  will  give  them  an  heart  of 
flesh: 

20  That  they  may  ^walk  in  my 
statutes,  and  ^keep  mine  ordi- 
nances, and  ^do  them:  and  they 
shall  be  "my  people,  and  I  will  be 
their  God. 

21  But  as  for  them,  whose  heart 
walketh  after  the  heart  of  their 
detestable  things  and  their  abom- 
inations, I  will  ''•^recompense 
their  way  upon  their  own  heads, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

22  ^  '^Then  did  the  ^cheru- 
bims  lift  up  their  wings,  and 
the  wheels  beside  them ;  and  the 
^glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  was 
over  them  above. 

23  And  the  ^glory  of  the  Lord 
went  up  from  the  midst  of  the 
city,  and  stood  upon  the  moun- 
tain which  is  on  the  east  side  of 
the  city. 

24  ^  Afterwards  the  spirit  took 
me  up,  and  brought  me  in  a 
'^vision  by  the  Spirit  of  God  into 
*'''Chal-de'ti,  to  them  of  the  ''cap- 
tivity. So  the  vision  that  I  had 
seen  went  up  from  me. 

25  Then  I  spake  unto  them  of 
the  '^captivity  all  the  things  that 
the  Lord  had  ^shewed  me. 

CHAPTER  12 

The  prophet  by  the  type  of  his  removal 
shows  the  flight  and  captivity  of  Zedekiah. 
17  The  famine  and  consternation  of  the 
people  during  the  siege  typified.  21 
Their  presumption  reproved.  26  The 
prophecy  to  be  speedily  fulfilled. 

THE  "word  of  the  Lord  also 
*came  unto  "^me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  thou  dwellest 
in  the  midst  of  a  '^^ '^■'rebellious 
house,  which  have  eyes  to  see, 
and  "see  not;  they  have  ears  to 
hear,  and  hear  not:  for  they  are 
a  rebellious  house.

sight;  and  thou  shalt  remove 
from  tliy  place  to  another  place

^consider,  though  they  be  a  re-

4  ''■^■■'Then  shalt  thou  bring

have  set  thee  for  a  sign  unto  the

7  And  I  did  so  as  I  was  com-

are  prolonged,  and  every  ^vision 
faileth  ? 

23  "Tell  them  therefore.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  I  will  make 
this  '^proverb  to  cease,  and  they 
shall  no  more  use  it  as  a  proverb 
in  Is'ra-el;  but  say  unto  them. 
The  days  are  at  hand,  and  the 
effect  of  every  ^vision. 

24  For  there  shall  be  no  more 
any  vain  vision  nor  flattering

Lord  saith:  and  the  Lord  hath 
not  sent  them:  and  they  have 
''made  others  to  ''hope  that  ^they 
would  confirm  the  word. 

7  Have  '^ye  not  seen  a  vain  vis- 
ion, and  have  ye  not  spoken  a 
lying  divination,  whereas  ye  say, 
The  Lord  saith  it;  albeit  I  have

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  'Because  ye  have  spoken 
vanity,  and  seen  lies,  therefore, 
behold,  I  am  against  you,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

9  And  mine  hand  shall  be  upon 
the'^prophets  that  see  vanity,  and

neither  shall  they  be  written  in

shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord

have  ''seduced  my  people,  ''say- 
ing, Peace;  and  there  was  no 
peace;  and  one  built  up  a  wall, 
and,  lo,  others  daubed  it  with 
untempered   morter: 

11  Say  unto  them  which  daub 
it  with  untempered  morter,  that 
it  shall  fall:  there  shall  be  an 
overflowing  shower;  and  ye,  O 
great  hailstones,  shall  fall;  and 
a  stormy  wind  shall  rend  it. 

12  Lo,  when  the  wall  is  fallen, 
shall  it  not  be  said  unto  you, 
Where  is  the  daubing  wherewith 
ye  have  daubed  it  ? 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  I  will  ever  rend  it  with  a

down  to  the  ground,  so  that  the

unto  you,  The  wall  is  no  more, 
neither  they  that  daubed  it;

ions of  peace  for  her,  and  there  /.<? 
no  peace,  saith  the  Lord  Gob. 

17  \  Likewise,  thou  son  of  man, 
.set  thy  face  against  the  '-'"daugh- 
ters of  thy  people,  which  jjropli- 
e.sy  out  of  their  own  heart;  and 
prophesy  thou  against  them, 

18  And  say,  Thus  saith  the 
Ivord  God;  Woe  to  the  women 
that  "sew  pillows  ^to  all  arm- 
holes,  and  make  "kerchiefs  upon 
the  head  of  every  stature  to  himt 
.souls!  Will  ye  hunt  the  souls 
of  my  people,  and  ^will  ye  save 
the  souls  alive  that  come  vmto 
you? 

19  And  will  ye  pollute  me 
among  my  people  for  handfuls  of 
barley  and  for  pieces  of  bread,  to 
slay  the  souls  that  should  not 
die,  and  to  save  the  .souls  alive 
that  should  not  live,  by  your 
lying  to  my  people  that  hear 
your  lies  ? 

20  Wherefore  thus.saith  the  I>ord 
Goo;  Behold,  I  am,  against  your 
pillows,  wherewith  ye  there  hunt 
the  souls  to  make  them  fly,  and 
I  will  tear  them  from  your  arms, 
and  will  let  tlie  souls  go,  even 


the  souls  that  ye  hunt  to  make 
them  fly. 

21  Your  kerchiefs  also  will  I 
tear,  and  deliver  my  people  out 
of  your  hand,  and  they  shall 
be  no  more  in  your  hand  to  be 
hunted;  and  *ye  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 

22  Because  with  lies  ye  have 
made  the  heart  of  the  righteous 
sad,  whom  I  have  not  made  sad; 
and  ''strengthened  the  hands  of 
the  wicked,  that  he  should  not 
return  from  his  wicked  way,  ''b}' 
promising  him  life: 

23  Therefore  ye  shall  see  no 
more  vanity,  nor  divine  Mivina- 
tions:  for  "I  will  '\leliver  my  peo- 
ple out  of  your  hand:  and  ye

lionse  of  Ls'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  '-^Repent,  and  turn 
yourselves  from  your  "^idols;  and 
turn  away  your  faces  from  all 
your  abominations. 

7  For  every  one  of  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  or  of  the  stranger  that 
sojourneth  in  Is'ra-el,  which  sep- 
arateth  himself  from  me,  and 
setteth  up  his  ^idols  in  his  heart, 
and  putteth  the  -^stumblingblock 
of  his  iniquity  before  his  face, 
and  cometh  to  a  prophet  to  ^en- 
quire of  him  concerning  me;  I 
the  Lord  will  answer  him  by 
myself: 

8  Ana  I  will  set  my  face  against 
that  man,  and  will  make  him  a 
sign  and  a  proverb,  and  I  will 
^cut  him  off  from  the  midst  of 
my  peojile;  and  ^ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord. 

9  And  if  th:;  'prophet  be  de- 
ceived when  he  hath  spoken  a 
thing,  I  the  Lord  have  deceived 
that  prophet,  and  I  will  stretch 
out  my  nand  upon  him,  and  will 
destroy  him  from  the  midst  of 
my  people  Is'ra-el. 

10  And  they  shall  bear  *the 
'"punishment  of  their  iniquity: 
the  ^punishment  of  the  prophet 
shall  be  even  as  the  ^punish- 
ment of  him  that  seeketh  unto 
him; 

11  "^That  the  house  of  I§'ra-el 
may  go  no  more  astray  from 
me,  neither  be  polluted  any 
more  with  all  their  transgres- 
sions; but  that  they  may  be  °my 
people,  and  I  may  be  their  God, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

12  Tl  The  Svord  of  the  Lord 
''came  again  to  *me,  saying, 

13  Son  of  man,  when  the  land 
sinneth  against  me  by  trespassing 
grievously,  then  will  ^I  stretch 
out  mine  hand  upon  it,  and  will 
break  the  staff  of  the  bread 
thereof,  and  will  send  ^famine 
upon  it,  and  will  cut  off  man 
and  beast  from  it: 


14  ''•^Though  these  three  men, 
'No'ah,  "Dan'iel,  and  "Job,  were 
in  it,  they  should  deliver  but  their 
own  souls  by  their  "'righteous- 
ness, saith  the  Loi"d  God. 

15  Tf  If  I  cause  noisome  ^'beasts 
to  pass  through  the  land,  and  they 
spoil  it,  so  that  it  be  desolate, 
that  no  man  may  pass  through 
because  of  the  beasts: 

16  '-'Though  these  '•"•^hree 
men  iim-e  in  it,  as  1  live,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver 
neither  sons  nor  daughters;  they 
only  shall  be  delivered,  but  the 
land  shall  be  desolate. 

17  Tl  Or  if  I  bring  a  ^sword  up- 
on that  land,  and  say.  Sword,  go 
through  the  land;  so  that  I  cut 
off  man  and  beast  from  it: 

18  ^-niiough  these  '-"-nhree 
men  were  in  it,  as  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord  GoD,  they  shall  deliver 
neither  sons  nor  daughters,  but 
they  only  shall  be  delivered  them- 
.selves. 

19  ^  Or  if  I  send  a  ^pestilence 
into  that  land,  and  pour  out  my 
fury  upon  it  in  blood,  to  cut  off 
from  it  man  and  beast: 

20  ^-^Though  'No'ah,  ^'Dan'iel, 
and  "Job,  were  in  it,  as  I  live, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  they  shall 
deliver  ncithci-  son  nor  daugh- 
ter; they  shall  but  deliver  their 
own  souls  by  their  "'righteous- 
ness. 

21  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  How  much  more  when  I 
send  my  four  sore  "judgments 
upon  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  *sword, 
and  the  '^famine,  and  the  noi- 
some ''beast,  and  the  ''pestilence, 
to  cut  off  from  it  man  and 
beast  ? 

22  Yet,  behold,  'therein  shall 
be  left  a  remnant  that  shall  be 
brought  forth,  both  sons  and

which  I  have  given  to  the  fire  for 
fuel,  ''so  will  I  give  the  *inhabit-

fire  shall  devour  them;  and 
"ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the

God  unto  Mc-ni'sa-lem;  Thy 
birth  and  thy  nativity  is  of  the 
land  of  "Ca'naan;  thy  father  wa.'^ 
an  ''Am'or-ite,  and  thy  mother 
an  Tlit'tlte. 

4  ^  And  as  for  thy  nativity,  in  the 
day  thou  wast  born  thy  navel 
was  not  cut,  ^neither  wast  thou 
'washed  in  water  to  'supple  fhec\ 
thou  '^wast  not  salted  at  all,  nor 
'"swaddled  at  all. 

5  None  eye  pitied  thee,  to  do 
any  of  these  unto  thee,  to  have 
compassion  upon  thee;  but  thou 
wast  cast  out  in  the  open  field,  to 
the  lothing  of  thy  person,  in  the 
day  that  thou  wast  born. 

6  t  And  when  I  passed  by  thee, 
and  saw  thee  ^polluted  in  thine 
own  blood,  I  said  unto  thee  when 
thou  wast  in  thy  blood,  "Live; 
yea,  I  said  unto  thee  uheyi  thou 
wast  in  thy  blood,  Live.

thou  hast  increased  and  waxen

away  thy  blood  from  thee,  and  I 
^anointed  thee  with  'oil. 

10  I  "clothed  thee  also  with 
'broidered  work,  and  shod  thee 
with  ^'"'badgers'  skin,  and  I 
girded  thee  about  with  fine 
^linen,  and  I  covered  thee  with 
'Asilk. 

Ill  decked  thee  also  with  orna- 
ments, and  I  put  ^bracelets  upon 
thy  hands,  and  a  "chain  on  thy 
neck. 

12  And  I  put  a  ■*'*jewel  on  thy 
forehead,  and  earrings  in  thine 
ears,  and  a  beautiful  "^crown  up- 
on thine  head. 

13  Thus  wast  thou  decked  with 
''gold  and  ''silver;  and  thy  'rai- 
ment was  of  fine  "linen,  and 
''silk,  and  'broidered  work;  thou 
didst  eat  fine  flour,  and  ^honey, 
and  ''oil:  and  thou  wast  exceed- 
ing 'beautiful,  and  thou  didst 
prosper  into  a  kingdom. 

14  And  thy  renown  went  forth 
among  the  ^heathen  for  thy 
'beauty:  for  it  was  perfect 
through  my  ^'"'comeliness,  which 
I  had  put  upon  thee,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

15  T[  But  thou  didst  "trust  in 
thine  own  beauty,  and  "'^play- 
edst  the  harlot  because  of  thy  re- 
nown, and  pouredst  out  thy  forni- 
cations on  every  one  that  passed 
by;  his  it  was. 

16  ^And  of  thy  garments  thou 
didst  take,  and  deckedst  thy  'high 
places  with  divers  *colours,  and 
"playedst  the  harlot  thereupon: 
the  like  things  shall  not  come, 
neither  shall  it  be  so.

and  hast  increased  thy  whore-

27  Behold,  therefore  I  have 
^stretched  out  my  hand  over 
thee,  and  have  diminished  thine 
orcUnary  food,  and  dehvered  thee 
unto  the  will  of  them  that  hate 
aiee,  the  daughters  of  the  ^Phi- 
lis'tines,  which  are  ashamed  of 
tliy  lewd  way. 

28  ^Thou  hast  played  the 
whore  also  with  the  ^As-sy/i- 
ans,  because  thou  wast  unsati- 
abie;  yea,  thou  hast  played  the 
harlot  with  them,  and  yet  could- 
est  not  be  satisfied, 

29  "Thou  hast  moreover  multi- 
plied thy  fornication  in  the  land 
of  *Ca'nttan  unto  '^Chal-de'a;  and 
yet  thou  wast  not  satisfied  here- 
with, 

30  How  '^weak  is  thine  heart, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  seeing  thou 
doest  all  these  things,  the  work 
of  an  imperious  whorish  woman; 

31  °In  that  thou  bulkiest  thine 
eminent  place  in  the  head  of 
every  way,  and  makest  thine 
'"high  place  in  every  street;  and 
hast  not  been  as  an  harlot,  in 
that  thou  scornest  hire; 

32  But  as  a  wife  that  com- 
mitteth  adulteiy,  tvhkh  taketh 
strangers  instead  of  her  hus- 
band! 

33  They  give  gifts  to  all  whores: 
but  "thou  givest  thy  gifts  to  all 
thy  lovers,  and  hirest  them,  that 
they  may  come  unto  thee  on  ev- 
ery side  for  thy  whoredom. 

34  And  the  contrary  is  in  thee 
from  other  women  in  thy  whore- 
doms, whereas  none  foUoweth 
thee  to  commit  whoredoms:  and 
in  that  thou  givest  a  rewartl,  and 
no  reward  is  given  unto  thee, 
therefore  thou  art  contrary. 

35  ^  Wherefore,  O  harlot,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord: 

36  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Because  thy  "filthiness  was 
poured  out,  and  thy  nakedness 


discovered  through  thy  'whore- 
doms with  thy  lovers,  and  with 
all  the  idols  of  thy  abominations, 
and  by  the  blood  of  thy  ''■''chil- 
dren, which  thou  didst  give  unto 
them ; 

37  ^Behold,  therefore  I  will 
gather  all  thy  lovers,  with  whom 
thou  hast  taken  pleasure,  and  all 
them  that  thou  hast  loved,  with 
all  them  that  thou  hast  hated; 
I  will  even  gather  them  round 
about  against  thee,  and  will  dis- 
cover thy  nakedness  unto  them, 
that  they  may  see  all  thy  naked- 
ness, 

38  And  I  will  ^'judge  thee,  as 
women  that  *break  wedlock  and 
"shed  blood  are  judged;  and  I 
will  give  'thee  'blood  in  fury  and 
jealousy. 

39  And  'I  will  also  give  thee 
into  their  hand,  and  they  shall 
throw  down  thine  eminent  place, 
and  shall  break  down  thy  ^high 
places:  they  shall  strip  thee  also 
of  thy  clothes,  and  shall  take  thy 
fair  jewels,  and  leave  thee  naked 
and  bare, 

40  *Tliey  shall  also  bring  up  a 
company  against  thee,  and  they 
shall  '"stone  thee  with  stones, 
and  thrust  thee  through  with 
their   swords. 

41  *And  they  shall  burn  thine 
houses  withfire,andexecutejudg- 
ments  upon  thee  in  the  sight  of 
many  women:  and  I  will  "cause 
thee  to  cease  from  j^laying  the 
harlot,  and  thou  also  shalt  give 
no  hire  any  more. 

42  So  will  I  make  my  "fur}'  to- 
ward thee  to  rest;  and  my  ^jeal- 
ou.sy  shall  dc]iart  from  thee,  and 
I  will  be  (piiet,  and  will  be  no 
more  angry. 

43  Because  thou  hast  not  re- 
membered the  days  of  thy  youth, 
but  hast  fretted  me  in  all  these 
thijigs;  behold,  therefore  T  also 
will  recompense  thy  way  upon 
thine  head,  saith  the  Lord  God:

and  thou  shalt  not  commit  this 
lewdness  above  all  thine  abomi- 
nations. 

44  If  Behold,  every  one  that  useth 
'proverbs  shall  use  this  proverb 
against  thee,  saying,  ''As  is  the 
mother,  ^so  is  her  daughter. 

45  '■•*Thou  art  thy  mother's 
daughter,  that  lotheth  her  hus- 
band and  her  children;  and 
thou  art  the  sister  of  thy  sisters, 
which  lothed  their  husbands  and 
their  children:  your  mother  was 
an  'Hit'tlte,  and  your  father  an 
"Ara'or-Ite. 

46  And  thine  elder  sister  is  ^Sti- 
ma'ri-a,  she  and  her  daughters 
that  dwell  at  thy  left  hand:  and 
thy  younger  sister,  that  dwelleth 
at  thy  right  hand,  is  "'Sod'om 
and  her  daughters. 

47  Yet  hast  thou  not  walked 
after  their  ways,  nor  done  after 
their  abominations:  but,  as  if 
that  were  a  very  little  thing,  ^thou 
wast  corrupted  more  than  they 
in  all  thy  ways. 

48  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  "Sod'om  thy  sister  hath 
not  done,  she  nor  her  daughters, 
^as  thou  hast  done,  thou  and  thy 
daughters. 

49  Behold,  this  was  the  iniq- 
uity of  thy  sister  '"SSd'om,  pride, 
fulness  of  bread,  and  ^abundance 
of  ^idleness  was  in  her  and  in 
her  daughters,  neither  did  she 
strengthen  the  hand  of  the  poor 
and  needy. 

50  And  they  were  haughty,  and 
committed  abomination  before 
me :  therefore  ^I  took  them  away 
as  I  saw  good. 

51  Neither  hath  °Sa-ma'ri-a 
committed  half  of  thy  sins;  but 
*thou  hast  multiplied  thine  abom- 
inations more  than  they,  and  hast 
justified  thy  sisters  in  all  thine 
abominations  which  thou  hast 
done. 

52  Thou  also,  which  hast  judged 
thy  sisters,  bear  thine  own  shame 


for  thy  *sins  that  thou  hast  com- 
mitted more  abominable  than 
they:  they  are  more  righteous 
than  thou:  yea,  be  thou  con- 
founded also,  and  bear  thy 
shame,  in  that  thou  hast  justi- 
fied thy  sisters. 

53  When  I  shall  bring  again 
their  captivity,  the  captivity  of 
'^Sod'om  and  her  daughters,  and 
the  captivity  of  '^Sa-ma'ri-a  and 
her  daughters,  then  will  I  bring 
again  the  captivity  of  thy  cap- 
tives in  the  midst  of  them: 

54  That  thou  mayest  bear  thine 
own  shame,  and  mayest  be  con- 
founded in  *all  that  thou  hast 
done,  in  that  thou  art  a  comfort 
unto  them. 

55  When  thy  sisters,  ''SSd'om 
and  her  daughters,  shall  return 
to  their  former  estate,  and  "Sa- 
ma'ri-a  and  her  daughters  shall 
return  to  theirformer  estate,  then 
thou  and  thy  daughters  shall  re- 
turn to  your  former  estate. 

56  For  thy  sister  "^SSd'om  was 
not  mentioned  by  thy  mouth  in 
the  day  of  thy  pride, 

57  Before  thy  ^wickedness  was 
discovered,  as  at  the  time  of 
thy  reproach  of  the  daughters  of 
'^Syr'i-a,  and  all  that  are  round 
about  her,  the  daughters  of  the 
'Thi-lis'tines,  ^which  despise  thee 
round  about. 

58  Thou  hast  borne  thy  ^lewd- 
ness and  thine  'abominations, 
saith  the  Lord. 

59  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
I  will  even  "deal  with  thee  as  thou 
hast  done,  which  hast  despised 
the  oath  in  breaking  the  '^cove- 
nant. 

60  Nevertheless  ^I  will  remem- 
ber my  ^covenant  with  thee  in 
the  days  of  thy  youth,  and  *I  will 
establish  unto  thee  an  everlast- 
ing covenant. 

61  Then  thou  shalt  remember 
thy  *ways,  and  be  ashamed,  when 
thou  shalt   receive  thy    sisters.

p  Ph/iraoh-hophra, 
Jer.  44:30. 


AND  the  "word  of  the  Lord 
''came  unto  ''me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  put  forth  a  '^rid- 
dle, and  speak  a  Sparable  unto 
the  %ouse  of  Is'ra-el; 

3  And  *say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  A  great  "•'^eagle  with  great 
wings,  ^long-winged,  full  of  feath- 
ers, which  had  divers  colours, 
came  unto  Leb'a-non,  and  took 
the  highest  branch  of  the  cedar: 

4  ''He  cropped  off  the  *top  of 
his  young  twigs,  and  carried  it 
into  a  ^land  of  traffick;  he  set  it 
in  a  '''city  of  'merchants. 

5  "'He  took  also  of  the  "^seed  of 
the  land,  and  planted  it  in  a 
fruitful  field;  he  placed  it  by 
great  waters,  and  set  it  as  a 
willow  tree. 

6  ""And  "it  grew,  and  became  a 
spreading  "vine  of  low  stature, 
\vho.se  branches  turned  toward 
him,  and  the  roots  thereof  were 
under  him:  so  it  became  a  vine, 
and  brought  forth  branches,  and 
shot  forth  sjirigs. 

7  ^There  was  also  another  great 
"•"eagle  with  great  wings  and 
many  feathers:  and,  behold,  this 
"'■"vine  did  bend  her  roots  to- 
ward him,  and  shot  forth  her 
branches  toward  him,   that  he 

11 


might  water  it  by  the  furrows  of 
her  plantation. 

8  '"'"It  was  planted  in  a  good 
^soil  by  great  waters,  that  it 
might  bring  forth  branches,  and 
that  it  might  bear  fruit,  that  it 
might  be  a  goodly  vine. 

9  Say  thou.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Shall  it  prosper?  shall  he 
not  pull  up  the  roots  thereof,  and 
cut  off  the  fruit  thereof,  that  it 
wither  ?  ^it  shall  wither  in  all  the 
leaves  of  her  spring,  even  with- 
out great  power  or  many  peo- 
ple to  pluck  it  up  by  the  roots 
thereof. 

10  Yea,  behold,  being  planted, 
shall  it  prosper  ?  shall  it  not  ut- 
terly wither,  when  the  '^east  wind 
toucheth  it  ?  it  shall  wither  in  the 
furrows  where  it  grew. 

11^  Moreover  the  "word  of  the 
Lord  "came  unto  "me,  saying, 

12  Say  now  to  the  rebellious 
house.  Know  ye  not  what 
''•'"these  things  mean  ?  tell  tJiem, 
/Behold,  the  ''king  of  ^Bab'y- 
lon  is  come  to  Je-r\i'sa-lem,  and 
hath  taken  the  'king  thereof, 
and  the  princes  thereof,  and  led 
'^them  with  him  to  Bab'y-lon; 

13  And  hath  taken  of  the  king's 
".seed,  and  made  a^covenantwith 
him,  and  hath  taken  an  'oath 
of  him:  he  hath  also  taken  the 
mighty  of  the  land: 

14  That  the  kingdom  might  be 
base,  that  it  might  not  lift  itself 
up,  but  that  by  keeping  of  his 
'covenant  it  might  stand. 

1,5  But  he  "rebelled  against  him 
in  "sending  his  '"ambassadors  in- 
to ^E'gypt,  that  they  might  give 
him  "horses  and  much  people. 
Shall  he  prosper  ?  shall  he  escape 
that  doeth  such  things  ?  or  shall 
he  break  the  covenant,  and  be 
delivered  ? 

K)Asl  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  in  the  '^place  v^here  the 
"king  dwelleth  that  made  "liim 
king,  whose  'oath  he  despised.

and  whose  'covenant  he  brake,

17  Neither  shall  "Pha'raoh  with

pany make  for  *him  in  the  war, 
by  casting  up  mounts,  and  build-

18  Seeing  he  despised  the  oatli 
by '^breaking  the  covenant,  when, 
lo,  he  had  given  his  '^hand,  and 
hath  done  all  these  things,  he 
shall  not  escape. 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  ^l.s^  I  live,  surely  mine  oath 
that  he  hath  desjji.sed,  and  my 
covenant  that  he  hath  '^broken, 
even  it  will  I  ^recompense  upon

20  And  I  will  spread  my  net 
upon  ''him,  and  lie  shall  be  taken 
in  my  snare,  and  I  will  bring 
him  to  'Bab'y-lon,  and  will  plead 
with  him  there  for  his  trespass 
that  he  hath  trespassed  against 
me. 

21  And  all  his  fugitives  with

^'sword,  and  they  that  remain 
shall  be  scatteied  toward  all 
winds:  and  ''ye  shall  know  that 
I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

22  \  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
*'T  will  also  take  of  the  highest 
branch  of  the  high  cedar,  and 
will  set  it;  I  will  crop  off  from  the 
top  of  his  young  twigs  a  tender 
one,  and  will  plant  it  upon  an 
high  mountain  and  eminent: 

23  ^'^In  the  mountain  of  the 
height  of  Is'ra-el  will  I  plant  it: 
and  it  shall  bring  forth  boughs,

cedar:  and  under  it  shall  dwell 
*all  fowl  of  every  wing;  in  the 


T 


shadow  of  the  branches  thereof 
shall  they  dwell. 

24  ^•■'And  all  the  trees  of  the 
field  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord 
have  brought  down  the  high  tree, 
have  exalted  the  low  tree,  have 
dried  up  the  green  tree,  and  have 
made  the  dry  tree  to  flourish:  I 
the  Lord  have  spoken  and  have 
done  it. 

CHAPTER  18 

God  reproves  the  people  for  their  unjust

have  eaten  sour  ^grapes,  and

3  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,

4  Behold,  all  souls  are  'mine;  as 
the  soul  of  the  father,  so  also  the 
soul  of  the  son  is  mine:  ^the  soul

abominations  that  the  wicktd 
man  doeth,  shall  he  live  ?  All 
his  righteousness  that  he  hath 
done  shall  not  be  mentioned: 
''•''in  his  trespass  that  he  hath 
trespassed,  and  in  his  sin  that 
he  hath  sinned,  in  them  shall 
he  die. 
25 1  Yet  ye  ^•"•*say,  The  way  of 
the  Lord  is  not  equal.  "Hear 
now,  O  house  of  I§'ra-el;  ''Is 
not  my  way  equal?  are  not  your 
ways  unequal  ? 

26  When  a  righteous  man  ^turn-

ness, and  committeth  iniquity, 
and  dieth  in  them;  for  his  in- 
iquity that  he  hath  done  ''■''shall 
he  die. 

27  Again,  when  the  wicked  man 
''turneth  away  from  his  wicked- 
ness that  he  hath  committed, 
and  doeth  that  which  is  lawful 
and  right,  ''•Hie  shall  save  his  soul

not  equal.  O  house  of  Ls'ra-el, 
are  not  my  ways  equal  ?  are  not 
your  ways  unequal  ? 

30  Therefore  I  will  ''^judge  you, 
O  house  of  Ls'ra-el,  every  one

CHAPTER  19 

Under  the  similitude  of  a  lioness  and  her 
whelps,  the  fjrophet  dejAores  the  fall  of  the 
royal  family.  10  And  under  the  figure 
of  a  vine  plucked  up  and  wasted,  is  shewn 
the  desolation  of  Jerusalem. 

MOREOVER  take   thou  up 
a    lamentation    for    the 
princes  of  "Ig'ra-el, 

2  And  say,  What  is  thy  moth- 
er ?  A  ^lioness :  she  lay  down 
among  lions,  she  nourished  her 
whelps  among  young  lions. 

3  And  she  brought  up  '^one  of 
her  whelps:  it  became  a  young 
''lion,  and  it  learned  to  catch  the 
prey;  it  devoured  men. 

4  The  nations  also  heard  of  him ; 
he  was  taken  in  their  pit,  and  they 
''brought  ''him  with  'chains  unto 
the  land  of  ^E'gypt. 

5  Now  when  she  saw  that  she 
had  waited,  and  her  hope  was 
lost,  then  she  took  ''another  of 
her  whelps,  and  made  him  a 
young  ''lion. 

6  And  he  went  up  and  down 
among  the  lions,  he  became  a 
young  lion,  and  learned  to  catch 
the  prey,  and  devoured  men. 

7  And  he  knew  their  desolate 
palaces,  and  he  Haid  waste  their 
cities;  and  the  land  was  deso- 
late, and  the  fulness  thereof,  by 
the  noi.se  of  his  roaring. 

8  Then  the  nations  set  against 
him  on  every  side  from  the  prov- 
inces, and  spread  their  net  over 
him:  he  was  taken  in  their  pit. 

9  And  they  *put  ^him  in  ^ward 
In  chains,  and  brought  him  to 
the  ^king  of  ''^Bilb'y-lon:  they 
brought  him  into  holds,  that  his 
voice  should  no  more  be  heard 
upon  the  mountains  of  Ls'ra-el. 

10  T[  Thy  'mother  is  like  a 
'"vine  in  thy  blood,  planted  by 
the  waters:  she  was  fruitful 
and  full  of  branches  by  rea-

12  But  she  was  "phicked  up  in 
fury,  she  was  cast  down  to  the

up  her  fruit :  her  strong  rods  were

CHAPTER  20 

God  Kill  not  be  inquired  of  by  the  elders  of 
Israel.  5  The  history  of  Israel's  rebel- 
lions in  Egypt.  10  in  the  wilderness,  27 
and  in  their  own  land.  33  God  shall 
gather  and  purify  his  people.  45  The 
destruction  of  Jerusalem  prefigured. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seventh  year,  in  the  fifth 
'^ month,  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  that  certain  of  the  ''eld- 
ers of  Is'ra-el  came  to  enquire  of 
the  Lord,  and  sat  before  me. 

2  Then  '^came  the  '^word  of  the 
Lord  unto  me,  saying, 

3  Son  of  man,  speak  unto  the 
^elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Are  ye  come  to  enquire  of  me  ? 
As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  1 
^will  not  be  enquired  of  by  you. 

4  Wilt  thou  judge  them,  son  of 
man,  wilt  thou  judge  ^//r'W  ?  cause 
them  to  know  the  abominations 
of  their  fathers : 

5  And  say  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  I^ord  God;  In  the  day 
when  I  ''chose  Is'ra-el,  and  lifted 
up  mine  hand  unto  the  seed  of 
the  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  made 
myself  known  unto  them  in  the 
land  of  "Iv'gypt,  when  1  lifted  up 
mine  hand  unto  them,  saying,  ''I 
am  the  Lord  your  God; 

6  In  the  day  that  I  lifted  u}) 
mine  hand  unto  them,  to  Mjring 
them  forth  of  the  land  of  "E'gyj^t 


into  a  'land  that  I  had  espied  for 
them,  flowing  with  %iilk  and 
'iioney,  which  is  the  glory  of  all 
lands : 

7  Then  said  I  unto  them,  '"Cast 
ye  away  every  man  the  abomi- 
nations of  his  eyes,  and  defile  not 
yourselves  with  the  "idols  of  £'- 
gypt:  ''I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

8  But  they  rebelled  against  me, 
and  "•''would  not  hearken  unto 
me:  they  did  not  every  man  cast 
away  the  abominations  of  their 
eyes,  neither  did  they  forsake 
the  "idols  of  E'gypt:  then  I  said, 
I  will  *pour  out  my  ''fury  upon 
them,  to  accom]:)lish  my  anger 
against  them  in  the  midst  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

9  But  I  wrought  for  my  name's 
sake,  that  it  should  not  be 
polluted  before  the  ^heathen, 
among  wliom  they  were,  in 
whose  sight  I  made  myself 
known  unto  them,  in  bringing 
them  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
^E'gypt. 

10  Wherefore  '^I  caused  them  to 
go  forth  out  of  the  land  of  ''E'- 
gypt,  and  brought  them  into  the 
wilderness. 

11  And  *I  gave  'them  my  "stat- 
utes, and  shewed  them  my  judg- 
ments, which  ij  a  man  *'do,  he 
shall  even  live  in  them. 

12  Moreover  also  I  gave  them 
my  ^sabbaths,  to  be  a  sign  be- 
tween me  and  them,  that  they 
might  know  that  I  am  the  Lord 
that  ^sanctify  them. 

13  But  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  re- 
belled against  me  in  the  wilder- 
ness: they  ^'walked  not  in  my 
statutes,  and  they  despised  my 
judgments,  which  ij  a  man  "do, 
he  shall  even  live  in  them;  and 
my  sabbaths  they  greatly  ^pol- 
luted: then  I  said,  I  would  "pour 
out  my  fury  upon  them  in  the 
wilderness,  to  consume  them. 

14  But  I  wrought  for  my

be  polluted  before  the  heathen, 
in  whose  sight  I  brought  them 
out. 

15  Yet  also  I  lifted  up  my  hand 
unto  them  in  the  wilderness,  that 
I  would  not  bring  them  into  the 
''land  which  I  had  given  them, 
flowing  with  ''milk  and  '^honey, 
which  is  the  glory  of  all  lands; 

16  Because  they  '"despised  my 
judgments,  and  ''walked  not  in 
my  statutes,  but  ^polluted  my 
sabbaths:  for  ''their  heart  *went 
after  their  idols. 

17  Nevertheless  mine  eye 
^•^'spared  them  from  destroying 
them,  neither  did  I  make  an  end 
of  them  in  the  wilderness. 

18  But  I  said  unto  their  chil- 
dren in  the  wilderness,  ^Walk  ye 
not  in  the  statutes  of  your  fa- 
thers, neither  observe  their  judg- 
ments, nor '"defile  yourselves  with 
their  idols: 

19  "I  am,  the  Lord  your  God; 
"•''walk  in  my  statutes,  and  keep 
my  judgments,  and  do  them; 

20  And  hallow  my  ^sabbaths; 
and  they  shall  be  a  sign  between 
me  and  you,  that  ye  may  know 
that  "I  am  the  Lord  your 
God. 

21  Notwithstanding  the  chil- 
dren rebelled  against  me:  they 
^valked  not  in  my  statutes,  nei- 
ther kept  my  judgments  to  do 
them,  which  if  a  man  do,  he 
shall  even  live  in  them;  they 
"polluted  my  sabbaths:  then  I 
said,  I  would  "pour  out  my  fury 
upon  them,  to  accomplish  my 
anger  against  them  in  the  wil- 
derness. 

22  Nevertheless  ''^I  withdrew 
mine  hand,  and  wrought  for  my 
name's  sake,  that  it  should  not 
be  polluted  in  the  sight  of  the 
heathen,  in  whose  sio;ht  I  broug-ht 
them  forth. 

23  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  unto 
them  also  in  the  wilderness,  that 
I  would  '"' 'scatter  them  amono; 


the  heathen,  and  disperse  them 
through  the  countries; 

24  Because  they  had  not  exe- 
cuted my  judgments,  but  had 
''despised  my  statutes,  and  had 
"polluted  my  sabbaths,  and  their 
eyes  were  after  their  fathers' 
idols. 

25  Wherefore  I  gave  them  also 
statutes  that  tvere  not  good,  and 
judgments  whereby  they  should 
not  live; 

26  And  I  polluted  them  in  their 
own  gifts,  in  that  they  '"caused  to 
pass  through  the  fire  '-''all  that 
openeth  the  womb,  that  I  might 
make  them  desolate,  to  the  end 
^'that  they  might  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord. 

27  ^  Therefore,  son  of  man, 
speak  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Yet  in  this  your 
fathers  have  ^'blasj^hemed  me,  in 
tliat  they  have  committed  a  tres- 
pass against  me. 

28  For  when  I  had  brought 
them  into  the  ''land,  for  the  which 
I  lifted  up  mine  hand  to  give  it 
to  them,  then  they  saw  every 
high  hill,  and  all  tlie  thick  trees, 
and  they  ^offered  there  their  sac- 
rifices, and  there  they  presented 
the  provocation  of  their  offering:

even  unto  this  day:  and  shall  I  be 
enquired  of  by  you,  O  house  of 
Is'ra-el  t  As  \  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  ''I  will  not  be  en- 
quired of  by  you. 

32  And  that  which  cometh  into 
your  mind  shall  not  be  at  all, 
that  ye  say,  'We  will  be  as  the 
heathen,  as  the  families  of  the 
countries,  to  serve  ^wood  and

.surely '''with  a  miojhty  hand,  and 
with  a  stretched  out  arm,  and 
with  fury  poured  out,  will  I  rule 
over  you: 

34  And  ''I  will  bring  you 
out  from  the  -people,  and  will 
gather  you  out  of  the  countries 
wherein  ye  are  scattered,  with  a 
mighty  hand,  and  witli  a  stretch- 
ed out  arm,  and  with  fury  })oured 
out. 

35  And  I  will  bring  you  into 
the  wilderness  of  the  ^people, 
and  there  will  *''I  })lead  witii  you 
face  to  face. 

36  Like  ^-'as  I  pleaded  with 
your  fathers  in  the  wilderness 
of  the  land  of  ^E'gypt,  so  will  I 
plead  with  you,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

37  And  I  will  V-ause  you  to  pass 
under  the  rod,  and  I  will  bring 
you  into  the  })ond  of  the  cove- 
nant: 

38  And  I  will  purge  out  from 
among  you  the  rebels,  and  them 
that  tran.sgress  against  me:  I  will 
bring  them  forth  out  of  the  coun- 
try where  they  sojourn,  and  they 
shall  not  enter  into  the  land  of 
Ts'ra-el:  and  '"ye  shall  know  that 
\  am  the  Lokd. 

39  As  for  you,  O  house  of  Ls'- 
ra-el,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Go  ye,  serve  ye  every  one  his

will  "not  hearken  unto  me:  but 
"pollute  ye  my  holy  name  no

in  the  mountain  of  the  height 
of  Ls'ra-cl,  saith  the  Ivord  God, 
there  shall  all  the  house  of  Ls'-

them,  and  there  will  I  re(|uire

41  ^I  will  accept  you  with  your 
sweet  savour,  when  I  bring  you 
out  from  the  ^people,  and  gather 
you  out  of  the  countries  wherein 
ye  have  been  scattered;  and  I 
will  be  sanctified  in  you  before 
the  ^heathen. 

42  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord,  when  I  shall  bring  you 
into  the  ''land  of  Is'ra-el,  into 
the  country  /or  the  which  I  lifted 
up  mine  hand  to  give  it  to  your

43  And  there  shall  ye  *remem-

CHAPTER  21 

Ezekiel  prophesies  against  Jerusalem  and 
Israel;  and  lor  a  sign  to  them,  he  sighs 
with  bitterness  before  them.  8  Ttie  ."harp 
and  bright  sword  about  to  come  upon  the 
people.  18  T)ie  approach  of  the  king  of 
Babijlon  described.  25  Sentence  against 
Zedekiah  pronounced.  28  The  destruc- 
tion of  the  Ammonites. 

AND  the  "word  of  the  Lord 
*came  unto  '^me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  to- 
ward **  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  drop  thy 
"ivord  toward  the  ^holy  places, 
and  prophesy  against  the  land  of 
Is'ra-el, 

3  And  say  to  the  land  of  Is'ra- 
el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Be- 
hold, *I  am  against  thee,  and  will 
draw  forth  my  ^sword  out  of  his 
sheath,  and  will  cut  off  from  thee 
the  righteous  and  the  wicked. 

4  Seeing  then  that  *I  will  cut 
oflF  from  thee  the  righteous  and 
the  wicked,  therefore  shall  my 
'sword  go  forth  out  of  his  sheath 
against  all  flesh  from  the  south 
to  the  north: 

5  ''That  all  flesh  may  know  that 
I  the  Lord  have  drawn  forth 
my  sword  out  of  his  sheath:  it 
shall  not  return  any  more. 


6  ''Sigh  therefore,  thou  son  of 
man,  with  the  breaking  of  thy 
loins;  and  with  bitterness  sigh 
before  their  eyes. 

7  ''And  it  shall  be,  when  they 
say  unto  thee.  Wherefore  *sigh- 
est  thou  ?  that  "thou  shalt  an- 
swer, For  the  tidings;  because  it 
Cometh:  and  every  heart  shall 
melt,  and  all  hands  shall  be 
feeble,  and  every  spirit  shall  faint, 
and  all  knees  shall  be  weak  as 
v/ater:  behold,  it  cometh,  and 
shall  be  brought  to  pass,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

8  T[  Again  the  "word  of  theLoRD 
''came  unto  '^me,  saying, 

9  Son  of  man,  prophesy,  and 
say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Say, 
A  ''sword,  a  sword  is  sharpened, 
and  also  furbished: 

10  It  is  sharpened  to  make  a 
sore  slaughter;  it  is  furbished 
that  it  may  ^glitter:  should  we 
then  make  mirth?  ^it  contemneth 
the  rod  of  my  son,  as  every  tree. 

11  And  he  hath  given  it  to  be 
furbished,  that  it  may  be  han- 
dled: this  ''sword  is  sharpened, 
and  it  is  furbished,  to  give  it  into 
the  hand  of  the  slayer. 

12  Cry  and  howl,  son  of  man: 
for  *it  shall  be  upon  my  people, 
it  shall  be  upon  all  the  princes  of 
I§'ra-el:  ^terrors  by  reason  of  the

13  ^Because  it  is  a  trial,  and 
what  if  the  sword  contemn  even 
the  rod  ?  it  shall  be  no  vwre,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

14  Thou  therefore,  son  of 
man,  prophesy,  and  ''smite  tJiine 
hands  tof^ether,  and  let  the  sword 
be  doubled  the  third  time,  the 
sword  of  the  slain :  it  is  the  sword 
of  the  great  7nen  that  are  slain, 
which  entereth  into  their  privy 
chambers. 

15  *I  have  set  the  point  of  the 
sword  against  all  their  gates,  that 
their  heart  may  ^faint,  and  their 
ruins  be  multiplied :  alil  it  t^made 
bright,  it  is  wrapped  up  for  the 
slaughter. 

IG  ^Go  thee  one  way  or  other, 
either  on  the  right  hand,  or  on  the 
left,  whithersoever  thy  face  is  set. 

17  I  will  also  smite  mine  hands 
together,  and  I  will  ^cause  my 
fury  to  rest:  I  the  Lord  have 
said  it. 

18  11  The  "word  of  the  Lord 
*came  unto  ''me  again,  saying, 

19  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  ap- 
point thee  two  ways,  that  the 
^sword  of  the  ^-^king  of  ^Bab'y- 
lon  may  come:  both  twain  shall 
come  forth  out  of  one  land:  and 
choose  thou  a  place,  choose  it 
at  the  head  of  the  way  to  the 
city. 

20  Appoint  a  way,  that  the 
sword  may  come  to  '"Rab'bath 
of  the  "Am'mon-Ites,  and  to 
"Ju'dah  in  ^Je-ru'sa-lem  the  de- 
fenced. 

21  For  the  'king  of  ^Bab'y-ion 
stood  at  the  parting  of  the  way, 
at  the  head  of  the  two  ways,  to  use 
''divination:  he ^made  /m* ''arrows 
bright,  he  consulted  ^''with  im- 
ages, he  looked  in  the  ''liver. 

22  At  his  right  hand  was  the 
divination  for  Je-rii'sa-lSm,  to 
"appoint  captains,  to  open  the 
mouth  in  the  slaughter,  to  lift  up 
the  voice  with  sliouting,  to  ap- 
point 'battering  rams  against  the 


gates,  to  cast  a  'mount,  and  to 
build  a  fort. 

23  And  it  shall  be  unto  them  as 
a  ^-false  divination  in  their  sight, 
to  them  that  have  sworn  oaths: 
but  he  will  call  to  remembrance 
the  initpiity,  that  they  may  be 
taken. 

24 Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Because  ye  have  made 
your  "iniquity  to  be  remembered, 
in  that  your  tran,sgressions  are 
discovered,  so  that  in  all  your 
doings  your  "sins  do  appear;  be- 
cause, /  say,  that  ye  are  come  to 
remembrance,  ye  shall  be  taken 
with  the  hand. 

25  Tf  And  thou,  '^profane  wick- 
ed '^'"'prince  of  Ls'ra-el,  whose 
day  is  come,  "when  iniquity  shall 
have  an  end, 

26  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Remove  the  ^^diadem,  and  take 
off  the  crown:  this  sJiall  not  be 
the  same:  exalt  him  that  is  low, 
and  abase  him  that  is  high, 

27  I  will  overturn,  overturn, 
overturn,  it:  and  it  shall  be  no 
more,  until  ^he  come  whose  right 
it  is;  and  I  will  give  it  him. 

28  Tf  And  thou,  son  of  man, 
prophesy  and  say.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  concerning  the 
"Am'mon-Ites,  and  concerning

CHAPTER  22 

The  sins  of  Jerusalem,  13  and  the  punish- 
ment thereof.  23  The  general  corruption 
of  prophets,  priests,  princes,  and  people. 

MOREOVER  the  -^word  of 
the  Lord  *came  unto  '^me, 
saying, 

2  Now,  thou  son  of  man,  wilt 
thou  judge,  wilt  thou  judge  the 
bloody  city  ?  yea,  thou  shalt  shew 
her  all  her  abominations. 

3  Then  "•''say  thou.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  The  ''city  shed- 
deth  blood  in  the  midst  of  it,  that 
her  time  may  come,  and  '^maketh 
idols  against  herself  to  defile  her- 
•self. 

4  ''Thou  art  become  guilty  in 
thy  blood  that  thou  hast  shed; 
and  hast  defiled  thy.self  in  thine 
^idols  whicli  tliou  hast  made; 
and  thou  hast  caused  thy  days  to 
draw  near,  and  art  come  even 
unto  thy  years:  tlierefore  have  I 
made  ''thee  a  rei)roach  unto  the 
^heathen,  and  a  mocking  to  all 
countries. 

5  Those  that  be  near,  and  those 
that  be  far  from  thee,  shall  mock 
thee,  wJiich  art  infamous  and 
^much  vexed. 

6  Behold,  the  "princes  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  every  one  were  in  thee  to 
their  power  to  shed  blood. 

7  In  thee  have  ''they  set  light 
by  father  and  mother:  in  the 
midst  of  thee  have  they  ''dealt  l)y 


^oppression  with  the  stranger:  in 
thee  have  they  ^' ''vexed  the  ^fa- 
therless and  tlie  ^'widow. 

8  ''Thou  hast  despised  mine 
holy  things,  and  hast  'profaned 
my  "'sabbaths. 

9  Li  ''thee  are  men  that  carry 
tales  to  "shed  blood:  and  in  thee 
they  "eat  upon  the  mountains:  in 
the  mitlst  of  thee  they  "commit 
lewdness. 

10  In  thee  have  they  ^discov- 
ered their  fathers'  nakedness.*  in 
thee  have  they  humbled  her  that 
was  *set  apart  for  pollution. 

11  And  one  hath  ^committed 
abomination  with  his  neigh- 
bour's wife;  and  another  hath 
lewdly  ^defiled  his  daughter  in 
law;  and  anotlier  in  thee  hath 
^^humbled  his  sister,  his  father's 
daughter. 

12  In  thee  have  they  taken 
^' '■gifts  to  shed  blood;  thou  hast 
"taken  'usury  and  increase,  and 
thou  hast  'greedily  gained  of  thy 
neighbours  by  ^-'extortion,  and 
hast  forgotten  me,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

13  Behold,  therefore  "I  have 
smitten  mine  hand  "at  thy  *'''dis- 
honest  gain  which  thou  hast 
made,  and  at  thy  blood  which 
hath  been  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

14  Can  thine  heart  endure,  or 
can  thine  hands  be  strong,  in  the 
days  that  I  shall  deal  with  thee  ? 
"'I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it,  and 
will  do  it. 

15  And  "•■^I  will  scatter  thee 
among  the  4ieathen,  and  dis- 
perse thee  in  the  countries,  and 
will  ^consume  thy  filthiness  out 
of  thee.

"^dross,  behold,  therefore  I  will 
gather  *you  into  the  midst  of '  Je-

A-ho'lah  the  elder,  and  A-h6l'i-

and  ^Je-ru'sa-lem  A-hol'i-bah. 

5  And  -^A-ho'lah  Splayed  the

i-an.s  her  neighbours,  ^captains 
and  rulers  'clothed  most  gor- 
geously, ^horsemen  riding  upon 

11 


horses,    all    of    them    desirable 
young  men. 

13  Then  I  saw  that  she  Avas 
defiled,  that  they  took  both  one 
way, 

14  And  that  she  increased  her 
^•''whoredoms:  for  when  she  saAV 
men  ^pourtrayed  upon  the  wall, 
the  images  of  the  ^Chal-de'ans 
pourtrayed  with  ''vermilion, 

15  Girdled  with  girdles  upon 
their  loins,  exceeding  in  ^dyed 
attire  upon  their  heads,  all  of 
them  princes  to  look  to,  after  the 
maimer  of  the  'Bab-y-lo'ni-an.s 
of  Chal-de'a,  the  land  of  their 
nativity: 

16  And  as  soon  as  *she  saw 
them  with  her  eyes,  she  doted 
upon  them,  and  sent  messengers 
unto  them  into  Chal-de'a. 

17  And  the  'Bab-y-lo'ni-ans 
came  to  her  into  the  bed  of  love, 
and  they  defiled  her  with  their 
^vhoredom,and  she  was  polluted 
with  them,  and  her  mind  was 
alienated  from  them. 

18  So  she  discovered  her^vhore- 
doms,  and  discovered  her  naked- 
ness: then  "my  mind  was  alien- 
ated from  her,  like  as  my  mind 
was  alienated  from  her  sister. 

19  Yet  she  multiplied  her 
'whoredoms,  in  calling  to  re- 
membrance the  days  of  her 
youth,  wherein  she  had  played 
the  harlot   in  the   land  of  ^E'- 

gypt. 

20  For  she  doted  upon  their 
paramours,  whose  flesh  is  as  the 
flesh  of  asses,  and  whose  issue  is 
like  the  issue  of  horses. 

21  Thus  thou  calledst  to  re- 
membrance the  lewdness  of  thy 
youth,  in  ^bruising  thy  teats  by 
the  "E-gyp'tian.s  for  the  paps  of 
thy  youth. 

22  t  Therefore,  O  ^A-hol'i- 
bah,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Behold,  I  will  "'raise  up  thy  lov- 
ers against  thee,  from  whom  thy 
mind  is  alienated,  and  I  will

24  And  "'"'they  shall  come

sembly of  ^people,  ivhich  shall  set 
against  thee  buckler  and  Shield 
and  ^helmet  round  about:  and  I 
will  set  judgment  before  them, 
and  they  shall  judge  thee  accord- 
ing to  their  judgments. 

25  And  I  will  set  my  "jealousy 
against  *'^thee,  and  '^they  shall 
deal  furiously  with  thee:  they 
shall  take  away  thy  nose  and 
thine  ears;  and  thy  remnant 
shall  fall  by  the  ^sword:  they 
shall  take  thy  sons  and  thy

be  devoured  by  the  'fire. 

26  '^•''They  shall  also  strip  thee 
out  of  thy  clothes,  and  take  away 
thy  fair  jewels. 

27  "Thus  will  I  make  thy  lewd-

''whoredom  brought  from  the 
land  of  *E'gypt:  so  that  thou 
shalt  not  lift  up  thine  eyes  unto 
them,  nor  remember  E'gypt  any 
more. 

28  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Behold,  I  will  deliver  *'^thee  into

hatest,  into  the  hand  o/  ikem. 
from  whom  thy  mind  is  alien-

leave  thee  naked  and  bare:  and 
the  nakedness  of  thy  ''whore-

thy  lewdness  and  thy  whore-

30  T  will  do  tlu\se  //////r/.v  unto 
''•'thee,  because  thou  hast  gone  a 
whoring  after  the  heathen,  and 
because  thou  art  polluted  with 
their  idols. 

31  ''Thou  hast  walked  in  the 
*Avay  of  thy  'sister;  tlierefore  will 
I  give  her  '"cup  into  thine  hand. 

32  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
"■'^Thou  shalt  drink  of  thy  'sis-

shalt  be  laughed  to  scorn  and

much. 

33  "•'^Thou  shalt  be  filled  with 
"drunkenness  and  sorrow,  with 
the  '"cup  of  astonishment  and 
desolation,  with  the  cup  of  thy 
sister  'Sfi-ma'ri-a. 

34  ''■''Thou  shalt  even  drink  it 
and  suck  it  out,  and  thou  shalt 
*break  the  sherds  thereof,  and 
^pluck  off  thine  own  breasts:  for 
I  have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

35  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Because  thou  hast 
forgotten  me,  and  cast  me  be- 
hind thy  back,  therefore  '^bear 
thou  also  thy  lewdness  and  thy 
whoredoms. 

36  ^  The  Lord  said  moreover 
unto  me;  Son  of  man,  wilt  thou

and,  lo,  thus  have  they  done  in 
the  midst  of  mine  house. 

40  And  fui'thermore,  that  ye 
have  sent  for  men  to  come  from 
far,  unto  whom  a  messenger  was 
sent;  and,  lo,  they  came:  for 
whom  thou  didst  wash  thyself, 
paintedst  thy  eyes,  and  deck- 
edst  thyself  with   ^'ornaments, 

41  And  satest  upon  a  stately 
bed,  and  a  table  prepared  before 
it,  whereupon  thou  hast  set  mine

were  brought  ^^-  ^Sa-be'an§  from 
the  wilderness,  which  put  ^brace-

43  Then  said  I  unto  he?-  that 
was  old  in  adulteries.  Will  they 
now  commit  whoredoms  with 
her,  and  she  with  them  ? 

44  Yet  they  went  in  unto  her,  as 
they  go  in  unto  a  woman  that 
playeth  the  harlot:  so  went  they 
in  unto  *A-h5'lah  and  unto  '^A- 
hol'i-bah,  the  lewd  women. 

45  Tf  And  the  righteous  men, 
they  shall  judge  them  after  the 
manner  of  adulteresses,  and  after 
the  manner  of  women  that  shed 
blood;  because  they  are  adulter- 
esses, and  blood?*.?  in  their  hands. 

46  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  I  will  ''bring  up  a  ^com- 
pany upon  them,  and  will  give 
them  to  be^^removed  andspoiled. 

47  'And  the  ^company  shall 
stone  them  with  stones,  and  dis- 
patch them  with  their  swords; 
they  shall  slay  their  sons  and 
their  daugliters,  and  burn  up 
their  houses  with  fire. 

48  "Thus  will  I  cause  lewdness 
to  cease  out  of  the  land,  that  all 
women  may  be  taught  not  to  do 
after  your  lewdness. 

49  And  they  shall  '^recompense 
>  your  lewdness  upon  you,  and  ye 

11 


shall  bear  the  sins  of  your  idols : 
and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  24 

The  commencement  of  the  siege  to  be  noted. 
3  The  parable  of  the  boiling  pot,  and  its 
explanation.  13  The  prophet  is  not  to 
mourn  for  the  death  of  his  wife,  19  as  a 
sign  that  the  calamity  of  the  Jetvs  will  be 
beyond  all  outward  sorrotv. 

AGAIN  in  the  ninth  year,  in 
the  tenth  "month,  in  the 
tenth  day  of  the  month,  the 
''word  of  the  Lord  "came  unto 
'^me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  write  thee  the 
name  of  the  day,  even  of  this 
same  day:  the  "^king  of  'Bab'y- 
lon  set  himself  against  "Je-ru'- 
s?i-lem  this  same  day. 

3  And  utter  a  ''parable  unto  the 
rebellious  house,  and  say  unto 
them,  ''Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
'Set  on  a  pot,  set  it  on,  and  also 
pour  water  into  it: 

4  ^Gather  the  pieces  thereof  in- 
to it,  even  every  good  piece,  the 
thigh,  and  the  shoulder;  fill  it 
with  the  choice  bones. 

5  'Take  the  choice  of  the  flock, 
and  'burn  also  the  bones  under 
it,  and  make  it  boil  well,  and 
let  them  seethe  the  bones  of  it 
therein. 

6  T[  Wherefore  Hhus  saith  the 
I^ord  God;  'Woe  to  the  *^bloody 
city,  to  the  pot  whose  ^scum  is 
therein,  and  whose  ^scum  is  not 
gone  out  of  it!  bring  it  out  piece 
by  piece;  let  no  lot  fall  upon  it. 

7  For  her  blood  is  in  the  midst 
of  her;  she  set  it  upon  the  top  of 
a  rock;  she  poured  it  not  upon 
the  ground,  to  cover  it  with  dust; 

8  That  it  might  cause  fury  to 
come  up  to  take  vengeance;  I 
have  set  her  blood  upon  the  top 
of  a  rock,  that  it  should  not  be 
covered. 

9  Therefore  ^thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  'Woe  to  the  '^bloody 
city!  I  will  even  make  the  pile 
for  fire  great.

went  not  forth  out  of  her:  her 
^scum  shall  be  in  the  fire. 

13  In  thy  *filthiness  is  lewd- 
ness: because  I  have  'purged 
thee,  and  tli(ni  wast  not  purged, 
thou  shalt  not  be  purged  from 
thy  filthiness  any  more,  till  I 
have  caused  iny  fury  to  rest  ujior

14  I  the  TvORD  have  spoken  it: 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  and  '"I  will 
do  it;  I  will  not  go  back,  neither 
will  I  spare,  neither  will  I  repent; 
"according  to  thy  ways,  and  ac- 
cording to  thy  doings,  shall  they 
judge  thee,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  T[  Also  the  ^word  of  the 
Lord  ''came  unto  '^me,  saying, 

16  Son  of  man,  behold,  T  take 
away  from  thee  the  "desire  of 
thine  eyes  with  a  stroke:  yet 
'•''neither  shalt  thou  mourn  nor 
weep,  neither  .sha  11  thy  tears  run 
down. 

17  '^•'' ^Forbear  to  cry,  make 
no  ^mourning  for  the  dead,  bind 
the  ''tire  of  tliint^  head  u|)on  thee, 
and  put  on  thy  *shf)es  upon  thy 
feet,  and  cover  not  tJii/  lips,  and 
eat  not  the  bread  of  men. 

IS  So  'I  spake  unto  the  people 
in  the  morning:  and  at  even  my 
"wife  died;  and  I  "did  in  the 
morning  as  I  was  commanded. 

19  ^  And  the  people  .said  unto 
me.  Wilt  thou  not  tell  us  what 
these  things  are  to  us,  that  thou 
doest  so  ? 

20  Then  I  answered  them,  The 
*word  of  the  Lord  ''came  unto 
'^me,  saying, 


21  Speak  unto  the  house  of  Ts'- 
ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  T^ord  God; 
Behold,  '1  will  profane  my  sanc- 
tuary, the  \^xcellency  of  your 
strength,  the  desire  of  your  eyes, 
and  that  which  your  soul  pitieth ; 
and  'your  sons  and  your  daugh- 
ters whom  ye  have  left  shall  fall 
by  the  ^sword. 

22  And  'ye  shall  do  as  J  have 
done:  ye  shall  not  cover  ?/o?//- lips, 
nor  eat  the  bread  of  men. 

23  And  your  ''tires  shall  be  upon 
your  heads,  and  your  *shoes  up- 
on your  feet:  ye  shall  not  'mourn 
nor  weep;  but  ye  shall  pine  away 
for  your  ''iniquities,  and  mourn 
one  toward  another. 

24  *Thus  ''E-ze'ki-cl  is  unto  you 
a  sign:  according  to  all  that  he 
hath  done  shall  ye  do:  and  when 
this  cometh,  "'ye  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord  God, 

25  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  shall 
it  not  be  in  the  day  when  I  ^take 
from  them  their  strength,  the  joy 
of  their  glory,  the  desire  of  their 
eyes,  and  that  whereupon  they 
set  their  minds,  their  sons  and 
their  daughters, 

26  That  he  that  escapeth  in 
that  day  shall  come  unto  thee,  to 
cause  thee  to  hear  it  with  thine

God;  '^Thus  saitli  the  Lord 
God;  Because  thou  saidst,  ''Aha, 
against  my  '•  "sanctuary,  when  it 
was  '^profaned;  and  against  the 
land  of  Is'ra-el,  when  it  was  des- 
olate; and  against  the  house  of 
JuMah,  when  they  went  into 
'captivity ; 

4  Behold,  therefore  'I  will  de- 
liver thee  to  the  men  of  the  east 
for  a  possession,  and  they  shall 
set  their  'palaces  in  thee,  and 
make  their  dwellings  in  thee: 
they  shall  eat  thy  fruit,  and  they 
shall  drink  thy  milk. 

5  And  'I  will  make  "^Rab'bah  a 
stable  for  ^camels,  and  the  '^Am'- 
mon-Ites  a  couching  place  for 
flocks:  and  '"ye  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Because  thou  hast  clapped  thine 
hands,  and  stamped  with  the 
feet,  and  rejoiced  in  heart  with 
all  thy  despite  against  the  land  of 
Is'ra-el ; 

7  Behold,  therefore  'I  will 
stretch  out  mine  hand  upon  thee, 
and  will  deliver  thee  for  a  spoil 
to  the  ^heathen;  and  I  will  rut 
thee  ofi'  from  the  ^people,  and  I 
will  cause  thee  to  perish  out  of 
the  countries:  I  will  destroy  thee; 
and  '"thou  shalt  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord. 

8  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Because  that  "Md'ab  and  Se'ir 
do  say.  Behold,  the  house  of 
JuMah  is  like  unto  all  the 
heathen ; 

9  Therefore,  behold,  I  will  open 
the  side  of  '^Mo'ab  from  the 
cities,  from  his  cities  which  arc 
on  his  frontiers,  the  glory  of  the 
country,  "Beth-jeshl-mo'th,  ^'Ba'- 
al-me'on,  and  «'Kir-i-a-tha'im, 

10  Unto  the  men  of  the  east 


^with  the  '^Am'mon-ites,  and  will 
give  them  in  possession,  that  the 
Am^mon-ites  may  not  be  remem- 
bered among  the  nations, 

11  And  'I  will  execute  judg- 
ments upon  "Mo'ab;  and  '"they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

12  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Because  that  ''E'dom  hath 
dealt  against  the  house  of  Ju'dah 
by  taking  vengeance,  and  hath 
greatly  offended,  and  *revenged 
himself  upon  them; 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  ^I  will  also  stretch 
out  mine  hand  upon  ''E'dom, 
and  will  cut  off  man  and  beast 
from  it;  and  I  will  make  it 
desolate  from  ^Te'man;  and 
tliey  of  'De'dan  shall  fall  by 
the  "sword. 

14  And  ^I  will  lay  my  venge- 
ance upon  ''E'dom  ''by  the  hand 
of  my  people  Is'ra-el:  and  they 
shall  do  in  E'dom  according  to 
mine  "'anger  and  according  to 
my  fury;  and  they  shall  know 
my  vengeance,  saith  the  Lord 
God, 

15  Tf  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Because  the  ^Phi-lis'tines  have 
dealt  by  *revenge,  and  have 
taken  vengeance  with  a  despite- 
ful heart,  to  destroy  it  Hoy  the 
old  hatred; 

IGTherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Behold,  T  will  stretch  out 
mine  hand  upon  the  ^Phi-lis'- 
tines,  and  I  will  cut  off  the  ^Cher'- 
e-thim.s,  and  destroy  the  remnant 
of  the  sea  coast. 

17  And  I  will  execute  great 
vengeance  upon  ^'  ^them  with 
furious  rebukes;  and  "'they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when 
I  shall  lay  my  vengeance  upon 
them.

as  the  sea  causeth  his  waves  to 
come  up. 

4  And  ''they  shall  "destroy  the 
walls  of '^Tv'rus,  and  break  down 
her  towers:  I  will  also  scrape  her 
dust  from  her,  and  make  her  like 
the  top  of  a  rock. 

5  "It  shall  be  a  place  for  the 
spreading  of  nets  in  the  midst 
of  the  sea:  for  *I  have  spoken 
//,  saith  the  Lord  God:  and  it 
shall  become  a  spoil  to  the  na-

6  And  "her  daughters  which  arc 
in  tlie  field  sliall  be  'slain  by  the 
sword;  and  ^"they  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord.

8  '^^He  shall  ^slay  with  the

against  thee. 

9  And  ''-'he  shall  set  *engines  of

11  '  "With  the  hoofs  of  his

12  And  "-''they  shall  make  a

they  shall  break  down  thy  walls,

to  '^Ty'rus;  Shall  not  the  isles

The  wealth  and  commerce  of  Tyre, 
irreparable  ruin  thereof. 


26  TIte 


THE  word  of  the  Lord  "came 
again  unto  *me   saying, 

2  Now,  thou  son  of  man,  take 
up  a  lamentation  for  ''Ty'rus; 

3  And  say  unto  '^Ty'rus,  O  thou 
that  art  situate  at  the  entry  of  the 
sea,  xvhicJi  art  a  '^•^merchant  of 
the  ^people  for  many  isles,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  O  Ty'rus, 
thou  hast  said,  I  avi  of  perfect 
beauty. 

4  Thy  borders  are  in  the  midst 


of  the  seas,  thy  builders  have 
perfected    thy   beauty. 

5  They  have  made  all  thy  ship 
boards  of  ^fir  trees  of  ''Se'ni' : 
they  have  taken  ''cedars  from 
'Leb'a-non  to  make  masts  for 
thee. 

60/  the  'oaks  of  ^BiVshan  have 
they  made  thine  'oars;  'tlie  com- 
pany of  the  Ash'iir-ites  have 
made  thy  benches  oj  '"•'^ivory, 
'hrought  out  of  the  isles  of  "Chit'- 
tim. 

7  Fine  *linen  with  "-^roidered 
work  from  E'gypt  was  ^that 
which  thou  spreadest  forth  to  be 
thy  sail;  blue  and  purple  from 
the  isles  of  E-ll'shah  was  *that 
which  covered  thee. 

8  The  inhabitants  of  *Zl'd6n 
and  ''Ar'vad  were  thy  "mariners : 
thy  wise  men,  O  ''Ty'rus,  that 
were  in  thee,  were  thy  pilots. 

9  The  ^ancients  of  'Ge'bal  and 
the  wise  men  thereof  were  in  thee 
thy  calkers:  all  the  "ships  of  the 
sea  with  their  "mariners  were  in 
thee  to  ^occupy  thy  merchan- 
dise. 

10  They  of  ^Per'sia  and  of 
"Liid  and  t>f  ^Phiit  were  in  thine 
army,  thy  men  of  war:  they 
hanged  the  ^shield  and  helmet 
in  thee;  they  set  forth  thy  come- 
liness. 

11  The  "men  of  Ar'vad  with 
thine  army  were  upon  thy  walls 
round  about,  and  the  Gam'ma- 
dim.s  were  in  thy  towers:  they 
hanged  their  shields  upon  thy 
walls  round  about;  they  have 
made  thy  beauty  perfect. 

12  ''Ta/shish  was  thy  '^mer- 
chant by  reason  of  the  multitude 
of  all  kind  of  ''•Riches;  with  ''sil-

his  impious  pride.  11  A  lamentation 
over  his  destruction.  20  Judgments  upon

THE  "word  of  the  Lord  came 
again  unto  *me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  say  unto  the 
"^prince  of  ''Ty'rus,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Because  thine 
4ieart  is  lifted  up,  and  thou  hast 
'-''said,  ''■*!  am  a  'God,  I  sit  in 
the  seat  of  God,  in  the  midst  of 
the  seas;  yet  thou  art  a  man,  and 
not  God,  though  thou  set  thine 
heart  aS  the  heart  of  God: 


3  Behold,  'thou  art  wiser  than 
'"Dan'iel;  there  is  no  secret  that 
they  can  hide  from  thee: 

4  With  thy  \visdom  and  with 
thine  understanding  thou  hast 
gotten  thee  "riches,  and  hast 
gotten  "gold  and  "silver  into  thy 
treasures : 

5  By  thy  great  'wisdom  and  by 
thy  ^traffick  hast  thou  increased 
thy  'riches,  and  thine  'heart  is 
lifted  up  because  of  thy  riches: 

6  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Because  thou  hast  '''*set 
thine  heart  as  the  heart  of 
God; 

7  Behold,  therefore  I  will 
''•^bring  'strangers  upon  thee, 
the  terrible  of  the  nations:  and 
they  shall  draw  their  "swords 
against  the  beauty  of  thy  wis- 
dom, and  they  shall  defile  thy 
brightness. 

8  'They  shall  bring  thee  down 
to  the  pit,  and  thou  shalt  ^•''die 
the  deaths  of  them  that  are  slain 
in  the  midst  of  the  seas. 

9  W'ilt  thou  yet  ''•"say  before 
liiin  that  slayeth  thee,  ''"^I  am 
God  ?  but  thou  shalt  be  a  man, 
and  no  God,  in  the  hand  of  him 
that  ^slayeth  thee. 

10  Thou  shalt  "-Mie  the  deaths 
of  the  uncircumcised  by  the  hand 
of  strangers:  for  I  have  s])oken 
it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

1 1  T[  Moreover  the  ''word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  *me,  saying,

saith  the  Lord  God;  Thou  seal-

will  bring  thee  to  ashes  upon  the 
earth  in  tiie  sight  of  all  them  that 
behold  thee. 

19  All  they  that  know  thee 
among  the  •'^people  shall  be  as- 
tonished at  thee:  thou  shalt  be  a 
terror,  and  never  shalt  thou  he 
any  more. 


20  \  Again  the  "word  of  the 
Lord  ^came  unto  me,  saying, 

21  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
against  ^Zl'don,  and  prophesy 
against  it, 

22  And  say.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Behold,  I  am  against 
thee,  O  ^Zl'don;  and  I  will  be 
glorified  in  the  midst  of  thee: 
and  ^the}'  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall 
have  executed  judgments  in 
her,  and  shall  be  sanctified  in 
her. 

23  For  I  will  send  into  her 
'■pestilence,  and  blood  into  her 
streets;  and  the  wounded  shall 
be  judged  in  the  midst  of  her  by 
the  *sword  upon  her  on  every 
side;  and  *they  shall  know  that  I 
am.  the  Lord. 

2-4  ^  And  there  shall  be  no  more 
a  pricking  brier  unto  the  house 
of  Ls'ra-cl,  nor  any  grieving 
thorn  of  all  that  are  round  about 
them,  that  Mespised  them;  and 
^they  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord  God. 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
When  T  shall  have  "gathered  the 
'house  of  Is'ra-el  from  the  ^peo- 
ple among  whom  they  are  scat- 
tered, and  shall  be  sanctified  in 
them  in  the  sight  of  the  ^heathen, 
then  sliall  they  dwell  in  their 
"'""land  that  I  have  given  to  my 
servant  Ja'cob. 

26  And  they  shall  "dwell  safely 
therein,  and  shall  build  houses, 
and  plant  vineyards;  yea,  they 
shall  dwell  with  confidence, 
when  I  have  executed  judgments 
upon  ull  those  that  ^despise 
them  round  about  them;  and 
«they  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord  their  God.

N  the  tenth  year,  in  the  "tenth 
"month,  in  the  twelfth  dai/ 
of  the  month,  the  ''word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  ''me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
against  *Pha'raoh  king  oi  ''E'- 
gypt,  and  j)ro])hesy  against  him, 
and  against  all  E'gypt: 

3  Speak,  and  say,  "Thus  saith 
the  I>ord  God;  Behold,  I  am 
against  thee,  ^Pha'raoh  king  of 
^E'gypt,  the  great  "dragon  that 
Heth  in  the  midst  of  his  rivers, 
which  hath  *'said,  My  'river  is 
mine  own,  and  I  have  made  if 
for  myself. 

4  But  *I  will  put  hooks  in  thy 
jaws,  and  I  will  cause  the  fish  of 
thy  rivers  to  stick  unto  thy  scales, 
and  I  will  luring  thee  up  out  of 
the  midst  of  thy  rivers,  and  all 
the  fish  of  thy  rivers  shall  stick 
unto  thy  scales. 

5  And  *I  will  leave  thee  thrown 
into  the  wilderness,  thee  and  all 
the  fish  of  thy  rivers:  thou  shalt 
fall  upon  the  open  fiekls;  thou 
shalt  not  be  brought  together, 
nor  gathered:  I  have  given  thee 
for  meat  to  the  beasts  of  the 
field  and  to  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven. 

6  And  all  the  'inhabitants  of 
'E'gypt  '"shall  know  that  I  avi 
the  Lord,  because  they  have 
been  a  staff  of  reed  to  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el. 

7  When  they  took  hold  of  thee 
by  thy  hand,  thou  didst  break, 
and  rend  all  their  shoulder:  and 
when  they  leaned  upon  thee,  thou 
brakest,  and  madest  all  their 
loins  to  be  at  a  stand. 

8  T[  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  ^Behold,  I  M'ill  bring 
a  "sword  upon  thee,  and  cut  off 
man  and  beast  out  of  thee. 

9  ''And    the    land    of   'E'gypt 


shall  be  desolate  and  waste;  and 
"'they  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord:  because  he  hath  ''Isaid, 
The  'river  is  mine,  and  I  have 
made  it. 

10  Behold,  therefore  I  am 
against  thee,  and  against  thy 
rivers,  and  "1  will  make  the  land 
of  'E'gypt  utterly  waste  and  des- 
olate, from  the  "tower  of  ^Sy- 
e'ne  even  unto  tlie  border  of 
'E-thi-o'pi-a. 

11  ''^No  foot  of  man  shall  pass 
through  it,  nor  foot  of  beast  shall 
pass  through  it,  neither  shall  it 
be  inhabited  ''forty  years. 

12  And  I  will  make  the  land  of 
'E'gypt  desolate  in  the  midst  of 
the  countries  that  arc  desolate, 
and  her  cities  among  the  cities 
that  are  laid  waste  shall  be  des- 
olate ''forty  years:  and  ^I  will 
scatter  the  *E-gyp'tian.s  among 
the  nationS;  and  will  disperse 
them  through  the  countries. 

13  H  Yet  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  At  the  end  of  ''forty  years 
will  I  gather  the  *£-gyp'tian.s 
from  the  ^people  whither  they 
were  scattered: 

14  And  'I  will  bring  again  the 
captivity  of  'E'gypt,  and  will 
cause  'them  to  return  into  the 
land  of  "Path'ros,  into  the  land 
of  their  habitation;  and  they 
shall  be  there  a  base  kingdom. 

15  'It  shall  be  the  basest  of  the 
kingdoms;  neither  shall  it  exalt 
itself  any  more  above  the  na- 
tion.s:  for  I  will  diminish  'them, 
that  they  shall  no  more  rule  over 
the  nations. 

16  And  it  shall  be  no  more  the 
"confidence  of  the  house  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  which  bringeth  their  inic[- 
uity  to  remembrance,  when  they 
shall  look  after  them:  but  '"they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord 
God. 

17  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seven  and  twentieth  ycfir,  in  the 
first  "'month,  in  the  fir.st  daij  of

Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  ^Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar  king  of  ^Bab'y-lon  caused 
his  army  to  serve  a  great  serv- 
ice against  ^Ty'rus:  every  head 
was  made  "bald,  and  every 
shoulder  toas  peeled:  yet  had  he 
no  wages,  nor  his  army,  for  Ty'- 
rus,  for  the  service  that  he  had 
served  against  it: 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Behold,  "-'^I  will  give 
the  land  of  "E'gypt  unto  *Neb- 
u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  ^Bitb'y- 
lon;  and  he  shall  take  her  multi- 
tude, and  take  her  spoil,  and 
take  her  prey;  and  it  shall  be  the 
wages  for  his  army. 

20  "^I  have  given  him  the  land 
of  ^E'gypt  for  his  labour  where- 
with he  served  against  it,  be- 
cause ^they  wrought  for  me, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

21  In  that  day  will  I  cause  the 
horn  of  the  hou,se  of  Ls'ra-el  to 
bud  forth,  and  I  will  give  thee 
the  opening  of  the  mouth  in  the 
midst  of  them;  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  a7n  the  I>,ord. 

CHAPTER  30 

The  desolation  of  Eavpt  and  her  allies.  20 
Egypt  to  be  subdued  by  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon. 

THE  ''word  of  the  Lord  came 
again  unto  *me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  and 
say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Howl  ye.  Woe  worth  the  day! 

3  Eor  the  May  is  near,  even 
the  day  of  the  Lord  is  near,  a 
cloudy  day;  it  shall  be  the  time 
of  the  heathen. 

4  And  the  ''sword  shall  come 
upon  ''•n^ygv])t,  and  'great  i)ain 
shall  be  in  "K-thi-r/pi-a,  when 
the  slain  shall  fall  in  E'gypt,  and 
they  shall  take  away  her  multi- 
tude, and  her  foundations  shall 
be  broken  down. 

.5  "E-thi-o'pi-a,  and  ''Lib'y-a, 
and  *I>,yd'I-a,  and  all  the  mingled 


people,  and  Chub,  and  the  men 
of  the  land  that  is  in  %ague, 
shall  fall  with  them  by  the 
''sword. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  They 
also  that  uphold  '^E'gypt  sliall 
fall;  antl  the  pride  of  her  power 
shall  come  down :  from  the  tower 
of  '^Sy-e'ne  shall  they  fall  in  it  by 
the  ''sword,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

7  And  they  shall  be  desolate  in 
the  midst  of  the  countries  tltai 
are  desolate,  and  her  cities  shall 
be  in  the  midst  of  the  cities  that 
are  wasted. 

8  And  'they  shall  know  that  1 
am  the  Lord,  when  I  have  '"set 
a  fire  in  "E'gypt,  and  when,  all 
her  helpers  shall  be  destroyed. 

9  In  that  day  shall  "messengers 
go  forth  from  me  in  ships  to 
make  the  careless  "E-thi-o'pT- 
ans  afraid,  and  ^great  pain  shall 
come  upon  them,  as  in  the  day 
of  E'gypt:  for,  lo,  it  cometh. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
I  will  also  make  the  multitude 
of  "E'gypt  to  cease  "by  the  hand 
of  ''Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of 
"BrU/y-lon. 

11  "'"He  and  his  people  with 
him,  the  terrible  of  the  nations, 
shall  be  brought  to  destroy  the 
land:  and  they  shall  draw  their 
''swords  against  '^E'gypt,  and  fill 
the  land  with  the  slain. 

12  ''And  I  will  make  the  rivers 
dry,  and  sell  the  land  into  the 
hand  of  the  wicked:  and  I  will 
make  the  land  waste,  and  all 
that  is  therein,  "by  the  hand  of 
strangers:  I  the  Lord  have 
spoken  it. 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
T  will  also  destroy  the  'idols, 
and  I  Avill  cause  their  images  to 
cease  out  of  ^Noph;  and  there 
shall  be  no  more  a  prince  of  the 
land  of  *E'gypt:  and  I  will  put  a 
fear  in  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

14  And  I  will  make  »Path'- 
ros  desolate,  and  will  set  fire  in

A  recital  to  Pharaoh  of  the  glory  of  Assyria, 
10  and  the  ruin  thereof.  18  Like  destruc- 
tion to  come  upon  Egypt. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
eleventh  year,  in  the  third 
"month,  in  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  that  the  ''word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  ''me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  speak  unto 
''Pha'radh  king  of  ^E'gj'pt,  and 
to  his  multitude;  Whom  art  thou 
like  in  thy  greatness  ? 

3  Behold,  tlie  'As-syr'i-an  was  a 
"cedar  in  Leb'a-non  with  fai:- 
l>ranches,  and  with  a  shadowing 
shroud,  and  of  an  high  stature; 
and  his  top  was  among  the  tliick 
boughs. 

4  The  waters  made  him  great, 
the  deep  set  him  up  on  high  with 
iier  rivers  running  round  about 
his  plants,  and  sent  out  her 
^'''little  rivers  unto  all  the  trees 
of  the  field. 

5  Therefore  his  height  was  ex- 
alted above  all  the  trees  of  the 
field,  and  his  boughs  were  multi- 
plied, and  his  branches  became 
long  because  of  the  multitude  of 
waters,  when  he  shot  forth. 

6  All  the  fowls  of  heaven  made 
their  nests  in  his  boughs,  and  un- 
der his  branches  did  all  the  beasts 

of  the  field  bringforth  theiryoung,

their  mighty

and  under  his  .slmdow  dwelt  all 
great  nations. 

7  Thus  was  he  fair  in  his 
greatness,  in  the  length  of  his 
branches:  for  his  root  was  by 
great  waters. 

8  The  ^cedars  in  the  garden  of 
God  could  not  hide  him:  the  fir 
trees  were  not  like  his  boughs, 
and  the  'chesnut  trees  were  not 
like  his  branches;  nor  any  tree  in 
the  garden  of  God  was  like  unto 
him  in  his  beauty. 

9  I  have  made  him  fair  by  the 
multitude  of  his  branches:  so 
that  all  the  trees  of  'E'den,  diat 
iverc  in  the  garden  of  God,  en- 
vied him. 

10  ^  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Because  thou  hast 
'lifted  up  thyself  in  height,  and 
he  hath  shot  up  his  top  among 
the  thick  boughs,  and  his  heart 
is  lifted  up  in  his  height; 

111  have  therefore  ^•'delivered 
him  into  the  hand  of  the  mighty 
one  of  the  ^heathen;  '"he  shall 
surely  deal  Avith  him:  I  have 
driven  him  out  for  his  wicked- 
ness. 

12  And  '"strangers,  the  terrible 
of  the  nations,  have  cut  him  oil', 
and  have  left  him:  upon  the 
mountains  and  in  all  the  valleys 
his  branches  are  fallen,  and  his 
boughs  are  l)roken  by  all  the 
rivers  of  the  land;  and  all  the 
^people  of  the  earth  are  gone 
down  from  his  shadow,  and  have 
left  him. 

13  Uj)on  his  ruin  shall  all  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven  remain,  and 
all  the  beasts  of  the  field  shall  be 
upon  his  branches: 

14  "To  the  end  that  none  of 
all  tlie  trees  by  the  waters  exalt 
themselves  for  tlieir  height,  nei- 
ther shoot  up  their  top  among 
the  thick  boughs,  •''neither  their 
trees  stand  up  in  their  heiglit,  all 
that  drink  water:  for  they  are 
all  'delivered  unto  death,  to  the 


nether  parts  of  the  earth,  in  the 
midst  of  the  children  of  men,  with 
them  that  go  down  to  the  pit. 

15  Thus  saith  the  I^ord  God; 
In  the  day  when  he  went  down 
to  •'the  grave  I  caused  a  mourn- 
ing: I  covered  the  deep  for  him, 
and  I  restrained  the  floods  there- 
of, and  the  great  waters  were 
stayed:  and  I  caused  Leb'a-non 
to  mourn  for  him,  and  all  the 
trees  of  the  field  fainted  for  him. 

16  I  made  the  nations  to  shake 
at  the  sound  of  his  fall,  when  1 
cast  him  down  to  "hell  with  them 
tliat  descend  into  the  pit:  and 
all  the  trees  of  'E'den,  the  choice 
and  best  of  Leb'a-non,  all  that 
drink  water,  shall  be  comforted 
in  the  nether  parts  of  the  earth. 

17  They  also  went  down  into 
"hell  with  him  unto  tJicm  that  be 
slain  with  tlie  sword;  and  they 
that  urn-  his  arm,  that  dwelt  un- 
der his  shadow  in  the  midst  of 
the  ^heathen. 

18  T[  To  whom  art  thou  thus 
like  in  glory  and  in  greatness 
among  the  trees  of  'E'tlen  ?  yet 
shnlt  thou  be  brought  down  with

with  thy  rivers,  and  troubledst 
tlie  waters  with  thy  feet,  and 
fouledst  their  rivers. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
^I  will  therefore  spread  out  my 
net  over  thee  with  a  company 
of  many  ^people;  and  ''they  shall 
bring  thee  up  in  my  net. 

4  '•''Then  will  I  leave  thee  upon 
the  land,  I  will  cast  thee  forth 
upon  the  open  field,  and  will 
cause  all  the  fowls  of  the  heaven 
to  ^remain  upon  thee,  and  I  will

blood  the  land  wherein  thou 
swimmest,  even  to  the  moun- 
tains; and  the  rivers  shall  be  full 
of  thee. 

7  And  "when  I  shall  put  thee 
out,  I  will  cover  the  heaven,  and 
make  the  stars  thereof  dark;  I 
will  cover  the  sun  with  a  cloud, 
and  the  moon  shall  not  give  her

8  AH  the  briglit  lights  of  heaven 
will  I  make  dark  over  thee,  and 
set  darkness  upon  thy  land,  saith

9  I  will  also  vex  the  hearts  of 
many  'peo|)le,  when  I  shall  bring 
thy  ''destruction  among  the  na-

thou  hast  not  known. 

10  Yea,  I  will  make  many  ^^eo-

thee,  when  I  shall  brandish  my 
'sword  before  them;  and  they 
shall  tremble  at  every  moment, 
every  man  for  his  own  life,  in  the 
day  of  thy  fall. 

11  ]f  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  The  '^sword  of  the  ''king  of 
'Bab'y-lon  shall  come  upon  thee. 

12  "By  the  *swords  of  the

nations,  all  of  them:  and  they 
shall  spoil  the  '*pomp  of  'E'gypt,

beasts  thereof  from  beside  the 
great  waters;  neither  shall  the 
foot  of  man  trouble  them  any 
more,  nor  the  hoofs  of  beasts 
trouble  them. 

14  Then  will  I  make  their  wa-

God. 

15  When  I  shall  make  the  land

and  take  him  away,  "his  blood 
shall  be  upon  his  own  head. 

5  He  ^heard  the  sound  of  the 
^trumpet,  and  took  not  warning; 
''his  blood  shall  be  upon  him. 
But  he  that  taketh  warning  shall 
deliver  his  soul. 

6  But  if  the  ''watchman  see  the 
sword  come,  and  ''blow  not  the 
'"trumpet,  and  the  people  be  not 
warned;  if  the  '^sword  come,  and 
take  any  person  from  among 
them,  he  is  taken  away  in  his 
iniquity;  but  his  blood  will  I 
require  at  the  watchman's  hand. 

7  So  thou,  O  son  of  man,  I  have 
set  thee  a  '"^watchman  unto  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el;  therefore  thou 
shalt  hear  the  word  at  my  mouth, 
and  '^warn  them  from  me. 

8  When  I  say  unto  the  wicked, 
O  wicked  man,  thou  shalt  surely 
'die;  ^if  thou  dost  not  speak  to 
^warn  the  wicked  from  his  way, 
that  wicked  inan  '"shall  die  in  his 
iniquity;  but  "his  blood  will  I 
require  at  thine  hand. 

9  Nevertheless,  if  'thou  ^'  ^warn 
the  wicked  of  his  way  to  turn 
from  it;  "if  he  "do  not  turn  from 
his  way,  he  shall  ''"'die  in  his 
iniquity;  but  "thou  hast  deliv- 
ered thy  soul. 

10  Therefore,  O  thou  son  of 
man,  speak  unto  the  hoii.se  of 
Ls'ra-el;  Thus  ye  speak,  saying. 
If  our  transgressions  and  our 
sins  be  upon  us,  and  we  ^pine 
away  in  them,  how  should  we 
then  live  ? 

11  Say  unto  them,  As  I  live, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  *I  have 
no  pleasure  in  the  death  of  the 
wicked ;  but  that  the  wicked  turn 
from  his  way  and  live:  '-^turn 
ye,  turn  ye  from  your  evil  ways; 
for  why  will  ye  'die,  O  house  of 
Ls'ra-el  ? 

12  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man, 
say  unto  the  cliildren  of  thy  peo- 
ple, 'The  "righteousness  of  the 
righteous  shall  not  deliver  him  in 

1182 


the  day  of  his  ^transgression:  as 
for  the  wickedness  of  the  wicked, 
"'•■^he  shall  not  fall  thereby  in 
the  day  tliat  he  ■^turneth  from 
his  wickedness;  neither  shall  the 
ri;i;hteous  be  able  to  live  for  his 
righteousness  in  the  day  that  he 
"sinneth. 

13  When  I  shall  say  to  the  right- 
eous, tJiat  he  shall  surely  live; 
^if  he  trust  to  his  "own  righteous- 
ness, and  commit  iniquity,  all 
his  ''righteousnesses  .shall  not  be 
remembered;  but  '^■''for  his  iniq- 
uity that  he  hath  committed,  ''he 
shall  Mie  for  it. 

14  Again,  when  I  say  unto  the 
wicked.  Thou  shalt  surely  Mie; 
"if  he  ''turn  from  his  sin,  and  'do 
that  which  is  lawful  and  right; 

15  "//  the  wicked  '■'^restore  the 
'pledge, '  •  ''^give  again  that  he  had 
'"robbed,  ^•■^Avalk  in  the  statutes 
of  life,  without  committing  iniq- 
uity; "■°'Phe  shall  surely  live,  he 
shall  not  ''die. 

16  ^Xone  of  his  sins  that  he 
hath  committed  shall  be  men- 
tioned unto  him:  ^he  hath  done 
that  which  is  lawful  and  right; 
"'"he  shall  surely  live. 

17  ^  Yet  the  children  of  thy  peo- 
ple ^'''say.  The  way  of  the  Lord 
is  not  ecjual:  but  as  for  them, 
their  way  is  not  equal. 

18  When  the  righteous  turneth 
from  his  righteousness,  and  com- 
mitteth  iniquity,  '^•''he  shall  even 
^die  thereby. 

19  But  ^if  the  wicked  "turn 
from  his  wickedness,  and  Vlo 
that  which  is  lawful  and  right, 
"•"•^he  shall  live  thereby. 

20  Yet  ye  ^■''say,  The  way  of  the 
Lord  is  not  equal.  O  ye  house  of 
I.s'ra-el,  I  will  *judge  you  every 
one  '^' ''after  his  ways. 

21  T[  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the

afore  lie  that  was  escaped  came; 
and  had  o})ened  my  mouth,  until 
he  came  to  me  in  the  morning; 
and  my  mouth  was  opened,  and 
I  was  no  more  dumb. 

23  'I'hen  the  ^word  of  the  Lord 
^came  unto  ^me,  saying,

ham  was  one,  and  he  inlierited 
the  land:  but  we  are  many;  the 
land  is  given  us  for  inheritance.

Thus  saith  the  Lord  Gow;  "^Ye 
cat  with  the  ''blood,  and  '^lift  \\\) 
your  eyes  toward  your  idols,  and

ye  work  abomination,  and  ye 
"defile  every  one  his  neighbour's 
wife:  and  shall  ye  possess  the 
land  ? 

27  Say  thou  thus  unto  them. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  As  I 
live,  surely  ''they  that  are  in  the 
wastes  shall  fall  by  the  'sword, 
and  him  that  is  in  the  open  field 
will  I  give  to  the  beasts  to  be  de-

5  And  they  were  scattered, 
because  there  is  no  "shepherd: 
and  they  became  meat  to  all 
the  beasts  of  the  field,  when  they 
were  scattered. 

6  jNIy  "sheep  wandei-ed  through 
all  the  mountains,  and  upon 
every  high  hill:  yea,  my  flock 
was  scattered  upon  all  the  face 
of  the  earth,  and  none  did  search 
or  seek  a]ter  them. 

7  Tf  Therefore,  ye  "•'^shepherds, 
hear  the  ''word  of  the  Lord; 

8  As  I  live,  .saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  because  my  ''flock  became 
a  prey,  and  my  flock  became 
meat  to  every  beast  of  the  field, 
because  there  was  no  "shepherd, 
neither  did  my  shepherds  search 
for  my  flock,  but  the  '^shepherds 
"■'fed  themselves,  and  fed  not  my 
flock; 

9  Therefore,  O  ye  "•''shej>herds, 
hear  the  °word  of  the  Lord; 

10  Thus  .saith  the  Lord  God; 
Behold,  I  am  against  the  "-''shep- 
herds; and  T  will  retjuire  my 
flock  at  their  hand,  and  cause 
thorn  to  cease  from  feeding  the 
flock;  neither  shall  the  shepherds 
feed  themselves  any  more;  for  1 
will  ^deliver  my  flock  from  their 
mouth,  that  they  may  not  be 
meat   for   them. 

11  *|[  For  thus  .saith  the  Lord 
God;  Behold,  I,  even  I,  *will 
both  search  my  sheep,  and  seek 
them  out. 

12  As  a  "shepherd  seeketh  out 
his  flock  in  the  day  that  he  is 
among  his  sheep  that  are  scat- 
tered; so  will  '^l  seek  out  my 
"■'sheep,  and  will  deliver  them 
out  of  all  places  where  they  have 
been  scattered  in  the  cloudy  and 
dark  day. 

13  And  '^I  will  bring  'them 
out  from  the  ^people,  and  gather 
them  from  the  countries,  and  will 
bring  them  to  their  own  land, 
and  feed  them  upon  the  moun- 
tains  of   Ls'ra-el  by  the  rivers. 


and  in  all  the  inhabited  places 
of  the  country. 

14  ^'I  will  feed  'them  in  a  good 
pasture,  and  Uj)on  the  high 
mountains  of  Is'ra-el  shall  their 
fold  be:  there  shall  they  lie  in  a 
good  fold,  and  in  a  fat  pasture 
shall  they  feed  upon  the  moun- 
tains of  Ls'ra-el. 

15  ^1  will  feed  my  ''-'flock,  and 
I  will  cause  them  to  lie  down, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

16  '^I  will  seek  that  which  was 
lost,  and  'bring  again  th.at  whicli 
was  driven  away,  and  will  bind 
up  that  wJiich  u-as  broken,  and 
will  strengthen  that  which  was 
sick:  but  I  will  "'destroy  the  fat 
and  the  strong;  I  will  feed  them 
with  judgment. 

17  And  as  for  you,  O  my  flock, 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Be- 
hold, "I  judge  between  cattle  and 
cattle,  between  the  rams  and  the 
he  goats. 

18  Seemeth  it  a  small  thing  un- 
to ''you  to  have  "-'eaten  up  the 
good  pasture,  but  ye  must  tread 
down  with  your  feet  the  residue 
of  your  pastures  ?  and  to  have 
drunk  of  the  ^deep  waters,  but 
ye  must  foul  the  residue  with 
your  feet  ? 

19  And  as  for  my  "flock,  they 
eat  that  which  ''ye  have  trodden 
with  your  feet;  and  they  drink 
that  which  ye  have  fouled  witli 
your  feet. 

20  ^  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  unto  them;  Behold, 
I,  even  I,  will  "judge  between  the 
fat  cattle  and  between  the  lean 
cattle. 

21  Because  ''ye  have  "thrust 
with  side  and  with  shoulder,  and 
pushed  all  the  diseased  with  your 
horns,  till  ye  have  scattered  them 
abroad ; 

22  Therefore  will  '^I  save  my 
flock,  and  they  shall  no  more  be 
a  prey;  and  I  will  "judge  be- 
tween cattle  and  cattle.

27  And  ^the  tree  of  the  field

earth  shall  yield  her  increase, 
and  they  shall  be  safe  in  their

the  Lord,  w^hen  I  have  broken 
the  bands  of  their  yoke,  and  de- 
livered them  out  of  the  hand  of 
those  that  "served  themselves  of 
them. 

28  And  ''they  shall  no  more 
be  a  prey  to  the  heathen,  neither

the  Lord  their  God  am  ^/-^with 
them,  and  that  they,  even  the

CHAPTER  35 

Judgments  upon  the  people  of  mount  Seir 
for  their  hatred  of  Israel. 

MOREOVER  ihe   "word    of 
the  Lord  came  unto  ''me, 
saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
against  mount  "^Se'ir,  and  proph- 
esy against  it, 

3  And  say  unto  it,  Thus 
saith  the  Ivord  God;  Behold,  O 
mount  ^Se'ir,  I  am  against  thee, 
and  I  will  stretch  out  mine 
hand  against  '^thee,  and  I  will 
make  thee  ^most  desolate. 

4  '^I  will  lay  thy  cities  waste, 
and  thou  shalt  be  desolate,  and 
*thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord. 

5  Because  thou  hast  had  a  per- 
petual ^■^' ^hatred,  and  hast  shed 
tJie  blood  of  the  children  of  !§'- 
ra-el  by  the  force  of  the  sword  in 
the  time  of  their  calamity,  in  the 
time  Hhat  their  iniquity  had  an 
end: 

6  Therefore,  as  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  '^l  will  prepare  thee 
unto  ''blood,  and  blood  shall 
pursue  thee:  sitli  thou  hast 
not  hated  blood,  even  blood  shall 
pursue  thee. 

7  Thus  will  ''I  make  mount 
•"Se'ir  '*most  desolate,  and  cut  off 
from  it  him  that  passeth  out  and 
him  that  returneth. 

8  And  '^I  will  fill  his  mountains 
with  his  slain  men:  in  thy  hills, 
and  in  thy  valleys,  and  in  all  thy 
rivers,  shall  they  fall  that  are 
slain  with  the  'sword, 

9  -I  will  make  thee  perpetual 
desolations,  and  thy  cities  shall 
not  ^return:  and  *ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  liORD. 

10  Because  thou  hast  said, 
These  two  nations  and  these 
two  countries  shall  be  mine,  and 
we  will  possess  it;  whereas  the 
Lord  was  there: 

11  Therefore,  as  I  live,  saith 
the    Lord    God,    I    will    even

mountains  of  Ls'ra-el,  hear  the 
'word  of  the  Lord: 

2  Thus  saith  tlie  Lord  God; 
Because  the  enemy  hath  said 
against  you,  '^Aha,  even  the  an- 
cient high  places  are  our's  in 
possession : 

3  Therefore  prophesy  and  say, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Be- 
cause they  have  made  yoti  deso- 
late, and  swallowed  you  up  on 
every  side,  that  ye  might  be  a 
possession  unto  the  residue  of 
the  'heathen,  and  ye  are  ''taken 
up  in  the  lips  of  talkers,  and  ^are 
an  infamy  of  the  people: 


4  Therefore,  ye  mountains  of 
Ls'ra-el,  hear  the  ''word  of  the 
Lord  God;  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  to  the  mountains,  and  to 
the  hills,  to  the  rivers,  and  to  the 
valleys,  to  the  desolate  wastes, 
and  to  the  cities  that  are  for- 
saken, which  became  a  prey 
and  derision  to  the  residue  of 
the  ^heathen  that  are  round 
about; 

5  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Surely  in  the  fire  of  my 
'jealousy  have  I  spoken  against 
the  residue  of  the  'heathen,  and 
against  nil  ^T-dii-me'a,  which 
have  appointed  my  land  into 
their  pos.session  with  the  joy  of 
all  their  heart,  with  despiteful 
minds,  to  cast  it  out  for  a  prey. 

6  Prophesy  therefore  concern-

God;  Behold,  I  have  spoken  in 
my  ^jealousy  and  in  my  "fury, 
because  ye  have  borne  the  shame 
of  the  heathen: 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  I  have  lifted  up  mine  hand. 
Surely  the  heathen  that  are  about

12  Yea,  I  will  cause  men  to

])Osscss  thee,  and  thou  shalt  he 
their  inheritance,  and  thou  shalt 
no  more  henceforth  bereave  them 
oj  "men. 

1.3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Because  they  say  unto  you.  Thou 
land  devourest  up  men,  and  hast 
l)ereaved  thy  ''nations; 

14  Therefore  thou  shalt  devour 
men  no  more,  neither  bereave 
thy  ^nations  any  more,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

15  ^Neither  will  I  cause  men 
to  hear  in  thee  the  shame  of 
the  heathen  any  more,  neither 
shalt  thou  bear  the  reproach  of 
the  ^people  any  more,  neither 
shalt  thou  cause  thy  •'nations  to 
fall  any  more,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

16  If  ^Moreover  the  ''word  of  the 
Lord   came  unto  "me,  saying, 

17  Son  of  man,  when  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  their  own 
land,  they  defiled  it  by  their  own 
way  and  by  their  ''doings:  their 
way  was  before  me  as  the  un- 
cleanness  of  a  ''removed  woman. 

18  Wherefore  I  '-'poured  my 
fury  upon  them  for  the  blood 
that  they  had  shed  upon  the 
land,  and  for  their  ^idols  v:'here- 
irith  they  had  polluted  it: 

19  And  I  'scattered  them 
among  the  'heathen,  and  they 
were  dispersed  through  the 
countries:  "'according  to  their 
way  and  according  to  their 
doings   I  judged   them. 

20  And  when  they  entered  unto 
the  heathen,  whither  they  went, 
they  "profaned  my  "holy  name, 
"when  they  said  to  them.  These 
are  the  people  of  the  T>ORD,  and 
are  gone  forth  out  of  his  land 


Is'ra-el  had"{)rofaned  amongthe 
■heathen,  whither  tiiey  went. 

22  Therefore  say  unto  the  house 
of  Ls'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Llo  not  tJiis  for  your  sakes, 
O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  but ''for  mine 
holy  name's  sake,  which  ye  have 
"profaned  among  the  'heathen, 
whither  ye  went. 

23  And  I  will  sanctify  my  great 
name,  which  was  "profaned 
among  the  'heathen,  which  ye 
have  profaned  in  the  midst  of 
them;  and  the  'heathen  shall 
know  that  I  a7u  the  Lord,  saith 
the  I^ord  God,  when  I  shall  be 
sanctified  in  you  before  their 
eyes. 

24  For  ''I  will  take  you  from 
among  the  'heathen,  and  gather 
you  out  of  all  countries,  and  will 
bring  you  into  your  own  land. 

2.5  «Then  will  I  '"■"sprinkle  clean 
'water  upon  you,  and  ye  shall  be 
clean:  from  all  your  ''filthincss, 
and  from  all  your  'idols  will  1 
'■'^cleanse  you. 

26  A  "•''new  heart  also  will  I 
o-ive  you,  and  a  new  spirit  will  I 
put  within  you:  and  I  will  take 
away  the  stony  heart  out  of  your 
flesh,  and  I  will  give  you  an  heart 
of  flesh. 

27  And  I  will  put  my  "'spirit 
within  you,  and  cause  you  to 
^walk  in  my  statutes,  and  ye 
shall  keep  my  judgments,  and

shall  ''lothe  yourselves  in  your 
own  sight  for  your  iniquities  and

32  Not  for  your  sakes  do  I  this, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  be  it  known 
unto  you:  be  ashamed  and  con-

In  the  day  that  I  shall  have 
'■  'cleansed  you  from  all  your  in-

set  me  down  in  the  midst  of  the

them  round  about:  and,  behold, 
there  were  very  many  in  the  open 
valley;  and,  lo,  they  were  very 
dry. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  can  these  *bones  live? 
And  I  answered,  O  Lord  God, 
thou  knowest.

you,  and  will  bring  up  flesh  upon 
you,  and  cover  you  with  skin, 
and  put  '^breath  in  you,  and  ye 
sliall  ''live;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord. 

7  So  I  prophesied  as  I  vv^as  com- 
manded: and  as  I  prophesied, 
there  was  a  noise,  and  behold 
a  shaking,  and  the  *bones  came 
together,  bone  to  his  bone. 

8  And  when  I  beheJd,  lo,  the 
sinews  and  the  flesh  came  up 
ui)on  them,  and  the  skin  covered 
them  above:  but  there  was  no 
breath  in  them. 

9  Then  said  he  unto  me. 
Prophesy  unto  the  wind,  proph- 
esy, son  of  man,  and  say  to  the 
wind.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Come  from  the  four  winds,  O 
''breath,  and  breathe  upon  these 
slain,  that  they  may  live, 

10  So  I  prophesied  as  he  com- 
manded me,  and  the  '^breath 
came  into  them,  and  they  lived, 
and  stood  up  upon  their  feet,  an 
exceeding  great  army. 

11  Then  he  said  unto  me.  Son 
of  man,  these  *bones  are  the 
whole  house  of  I§'ra-el:  behold, 
they  say,  ^Our  bones  are  dried,

12  Therefore  prophesy  and  say 
unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Behold,  O  my  ^people, 
''I  will  open  your  graves,  and 
cause  you  to  *come  up  out  of 
your  graves,  and  bring  you  into 
the  land  of  T.s'ra-el. 

13  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord,  when  I  have  opened 
your  graves,  O  my  people,  and 
'brought  you  up  out  of  your 
graves, 

14  And  shall  put  my  spirit  in

shall  place  you  in  your  own

the  Lord  have  spoken  it,  and 
performed  it,  saith  the  I^ord. 

15  %  The  ^vord  of  the  Lord 
"came  again  unto  ''me,  saying, 

16  Moreover,  thou  son  of  man, 
'"■"take  thee  one  stick,  and  write 
upon  it,  For  ''Ju'dah,  and  for  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  his  compan-

write  upon  it.  For  Jo'§eph,  the

18  And  when  the  children  of 
thy  people  shall  speak  unto  thee, 
saying.  Wilt  thou  not  shew  us 
what  thou  meane.s't  by  these  ? 

19  Say  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I  will 
take  the  stick  of  Jo'scph,  which 
i.s-  in  the  hand  of  "1^71)11  ra-im,

CHAPTER  38 


The  army  of  Gog.     8  His  design  against 
Israel.     14  God's  judgment  against  him. 

AND  the  "word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  ''me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
against  ''Gog,  the  land  of  ''Ma'- 
!?6g,  the  chief  prince  of  ^Me'- 
shech  and  ''Tu'bal,  and  proph- 
esy against  him, 

3  And  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Behold,  I  am  against  thee, 
O  '^Gog,  the  chief  prince  of  ^^Sle'- 
shech  and  'Tu'bal: 

4  And  I  will  turn  thee  back,  and 
put  hooks  into  thy  jaws,  and  I 
will  bring  thee  forth,  and  all 
thine  ^army,  '^horses  and  ^horse- 
men, all  of  them  clothed  hvith 
all  sorts  of  ^'armour,  even  a  great 
company  with  bucklers  and 
^shields,  all  of  them  handling 
'swords: 

5  "Ter'.sia,  "E-thi-o'pi-a,  and 
"Lib'y-a,  with  them;  all  of  them 
with  ^'shield  and  helmet: 

6  Go'mer,  and  all  his  bands; 
the  house  of  *T6-gai-'mah  ^of 
the  north  quarters,  and  all  his 
bands:  and  many  people  with 
thee. 

7  Be  thou  prepared,  and  pre- 
pare for  thyself,  thou,  and  all 
thy  company  that  are  assembled 
unto  thee,  and  be  thou  a  guard 
unto  them. 

8  After  many  days  thou  shalt  be 
visited:  in  the  latter  years  thou 
shalt  come  into  the  land  that  is 
brought  back  from  the  sword, 
and  is  gathered  out  of  many 
^people,  against  the  mountains 
of  Is'ra-el,  which  have  been 
always  waste:  but  it  is  brought 
forth  out  of  the  nations,  and  they 
shall  dwell  safely  all  of  them. 

9  Thou  shalt  ascend  and  come 
like  a  storm,  thou  shalt  be  like 
a  cloud  to  cover  the  land,  thou, 


and  all   thy  bands,  and   manv 
^people  with  thee. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
It  shall  also  come  to  pass,  that 
at  the  same  time  shall  things 
come  into  thy  mind,  and  thou 
shalt  ^ think  an  evil  thought: 

11  And  thou  shalt  say,  I  will 
go  up  to  the  land  of  unwalled 
villages;  I  will  go  to  them  that 
are  at  rest,  that  dwell  safely, 
all  of  them  dwelling  without 
walls,  and  having  neither  bars 
nor  gates, 

12  To  take  a  ''spoil,  and  to  take 
a  prey;  to  turn  thine  hand  upon 
the  desolate  places  that  are  now 
inhabited,  and  upon  the  people 
that  are  gathered  out  of  the  na- 
tions, which  have  gotten  cattle 
and  goods,  that  dwell  in  the 
midst  of  the  land. 

13  "She'ba,  and  'De'dan,  and 
the  'Merchants  of  "Tiir'shish, 
with  all  the  young  lions  thereof, 
shall  say  unto  thee,  Art  thou 
come  to  take  a  spoil  ?  hast  thou 
gathered  thy  company  to  take  a 
prey  ?  to  carry  away  silver  and 
gold,  to  take  away  cattle  and 
goods,  to  take  a  great  spoil  ? 

14  ^  Therefore,  son  of  man, 
prophesy  and  say  unto  *^G6g, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  In 
tliat  day  when  my  people  of  Is'- 
ra-el  dwelleth  safely,  shalt  thou 
not  know  it  ? 

15  And  thou  shalt  come  from 
thy  place  out  of  the  ^north  parts, 
thou,  and  many  ^people  with 
thee,  all  of  them  h-iding  upon 
''horses,  a  great  company,  and  a 
mighty  ''army: 

16  And  thou  shalt  come  up 
against  my  people  of  Is'ra-el, 
as  a  cloud  to  cover  the  land;  it 
shall  be  in  the  latter  days,  and  1 
will  bring  thee  against  my  land, 
"that  the  ^heathen  may  know 
me,  when  I  shall  be  sanctified  in 
thee,  O  Gog,  before  their  eyes. 

17  Thus  saith  the  I.,ord  God;

the  -^prophets  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
prophesied  in  those  days  many

IS  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  at

19  For  in  my  'jealousy  and  in

down,  ard  the  steep  places  shall 
fall,  and  every  wall  shall  fall  to 
the  ground. 

21  And  "I  will  call  for  a  ^SAVord 
against  him  tliroughout  all 
my  mountains,  saith  the  Lord 
God:  every  man's  sword  shall 
be  against  his  brother. 

22  And  "I  \\\\\  plead  against 
him  with  pestilence  and  wdth

and  upon  his  bands,  and  upon  the

11  T[  And  '^it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  I  will  give  unto 
"Gog  a  place  ^there  of  graves  in 
Is'ra-el,  the  valley  of  the  pas- 
sengers on  the  east  of  the  ^sea: 
and  it  shall  stop  the  noses  of  the

'bury  Gog  and  all  his  multitude : 
and  they  shall  call  it  The  valley 
of  ^Ha'mon-gog. 

12  And  seven  months  shall  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el  be  burying  of 
them,  that  they  may  cleanse  the 
land. 

13  Yea,  all  the  people  of  the 
land  shall  bury  them;  and  it 
shall  be  to  them  a  renown  the 
day  that  I  shall  be  glorified,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

14  And  they  shall  sever  out 
men  of  continual  employment, 
'•passing  through  the  land  to 
*bury  with  the  passengers  those 
that  remain  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth,  to  cleanse  it:  after  the  end

up  a  sign  by  it,  till  the  buriers 
have  buried  it  in  the  valley  of 
Ha'mon-gog. 

16  And  also  the  name  of  ^°the 
city  shall  be  "Ha-m5'nah.  Thus 
shall  they  cleanse  the  land. 

17  T[  And,  thou  son  of  man, 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Speak 
unto  every  feathered  fowl,  and 
to  every  beast  of  the  field.  As- 
semble yourselves,  and  come; 
gather  yourselves  on  every  side 
to  my  ''sacrifice  that  I  do  sacri- 
fice for  you,  even  a  great  sacrifice 
upon  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el, 
that  ye  may  eat  flesh,  and  drink 
blood. 

18  Ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
mighty,  and  drink  the  blood 
of  the  princes  of  the  earth,  of 
rams,  of  lambs,  and  of  goats,  of 


bullocks,  all  of  them  fatlings 
of   ^Ba'shan. 

19  And  ye  shall  eat  fat  till  ye  be 
full,  and  drink  blood  till  ye  be 
'drunken,  of  my  ''sacrifice  which 
I  have  sacrificed  for  you. 

20  Thus  ye  shall  be  filled  at  my 
table  with  horses  and  chariots, 
with  mighty  men,  and  with  all 
men  of  war,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

21  And  I  will  set  my  "glory 
among  the  ''heathen,  and  all  the 
^'heathen  shall  see  my  judgment 
that  I  have  executed,  and  my 
hand  that  I  have  laid  upon  them. 

22  So  ''the  house  of  Is'ra-el  shall 
know  that  I  am,  the  Lord  their 
God  from  that  day  and  forward. 

23  And  the  heathen  shall  know 
thatthehouseof  Is'ra-el  went  into 
^captivity  for  their  iniquity:  be- 
cause they  trespassed  against  me, 
"'therefore  hid  I  my  face  from 
them,  and  ^gave  them  into  the 
hand  of  their  enemies:  so  fell 
they  all  by  the  ^sword. 

24  According  to  their  unclean- 
nessand  ^according  to  their  trans- 
gressions have  I  done  unto  them, 
and  "hid  my  face  from  them. 

25  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Now  will  I  bring  again 
the  captivity  of  Ja'cob,  and  have 
''mercy  upon  the  whole  house  of 
Is'ra  el,  and  will  be  ^jealous  for 
my  '^lioly  name; 

26  After  that  they  have  borne 
their  shame,  and  all  their  tres- 
passes whereby  they  have  tres- 
passed against  me,  when  they 
dwelt  safely  in  their  land,  and 
none  made  them  afraid, 

27  When  I  have  brought  them 
again  from  the  people,  and  gath- 
ered them  out  of  their  enemies' 
lands,  and  am  sanctified  in  them 
in  the  sight  of  many  nations; 

28  Then  shall  they  knov^  that  I

CHAPTER  40 

The  time  and  manner  of  the  vision  concern- 
iiK.i  tlic  temple.  6  The  description  of  the 
cast  gate,  20  of  the  north  gate,  24  of  the 
south  gate,  32  of  the  east  gate,  35  and  of 
tlie  north  gate.  39  Eight  tables.  44  The 
chambers.     48  The  porch  of  the  house. 

IN  the  five  and  twentieth  year 
of  our  "captivity,  in  the  be- 
ginning of  the  year,  in  the  tenth 
day  of  the  month,  in  the  four- 
teenth year  after  that  the  city 
was  smitten,  in  the  selfsame  day 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  *upon 
''me,  and  brought  me  thither. 

2  In  the '^visions  of  God  brought 
he  me  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  set  me  upon  a  very  high 
mountain,  by  which  was  as  the 
frame  of  a  city  on  the  soutl.i, 

3  And  he  brought  me  thither, 
and,  behold,  there  was  a  man, 
whose  appearance  teas  like  the 
appearance  of  brass,  with  a  line 
of  ^flax  in  his  hand,  and  a 
measuring  *reed;  and  he  stood 
in  the  gate. 

4  And  the  man  said  unto  me, 
Son  of  man,  behokl  with  thine 
eyes,  and  hear  with  thine  ears, 
and  set  thine  heart  upon  all  that 
Ishall  shew  tliee;  forto  the  intent 
that  I  might  shew  iltcvi  unto  thee 
art  thou  brought  hither:  declare 
all  that  thou  seest  to  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el. 

5  And  '^behold  a  wall  on  the 
outside  of  the  ''house  round 
about,  and  in  the  man's  hand  a 
measuring  *reed  of  six  "•''cu- 
bits long  by  the  cubit  and  an 
''•'hand  l)readtli:  so  he  measured 
the  breadth  of  the  building,  one 
reed;  and  the  height,  one  reed. 


6  ^  Then  came  he  unto  the^gate 
which  looketh  toward  the  east, 
and  went  up  the  stairs  thereof, 
and  measured  the  threshold  of 
the  gate,  which  was  one  *reed 
broad;  and  the  other  threshold 
'o/  the  gate,  wh.icli  was  one  reed 
broad. 

7  And  every  ^little  chamber  was 
one  *reed  long,  and  one  reed 
broad;  and  between  the  ^little 
chambers  ivere  five  ^cubits;  and 
the  threshold  of  the  gate  by  the 
[)orch  of  the  gate  ^within  was 
one  reed. 

8  He  measuretl  also  the  porch 
of  the  gate  Hvithin,  one  reed. 

9  Then  measured  he  the  porch 
of  the  gate,  eight  "cubits;  and 
the  posts  thereof,  two  cubits;  and 
the  porch  of  the  gate  was  ^in- 
ward. 

10  And  the  ^little  chambers  of 
the  gate  eastward  were  three  on 
this  side,  and  three  on  that  side ; 
they  three  were  of  one  measure: 
and  the  posts  had  one  measure 
on  this  side  and  on  that  side. 

11  And  he  measured  the 
breadth  of  the  entry  of  the  'gate, 
ten  "cubits;  and  the  length  of  the 
gate,  thirteen  cubits. 

12  The  space  also  before  the 
^little  chambers  was  one  "cubit 
on  this  side,  and  the  space  was 
one  cubit  on  that  side:  and  the 
little  chambers  were  six  cubits  on 
this  side,  and  six  cubits  on  that 
side. 

13  He  measured  then  the  gate 
from  the  roof  of  one  ^little  cham- 
ber to  the  roof  of  another:  the 
l)readth  was  five  and  twenty  cu- 
bits, door  against  door. 

14  He  made  also  posts  of  three- 
score "cubits,  even  unto  the  post 
of  the  '^court  round  about  the 
gate.

18  And  the  pavement  by  the

northward.

thereof  ivere  tliree  on  this  side  and 
three  on  that  side;  and  the  posts

were  after  the  measure  of  the

fifty  "cubits,  and  the  breadth  five

22  And  their  ^vindows,  and 
their  arches,  and  their  '"palm

24  ^  After  that  he  brought  me 


toward  the  south,  and  behold  a

47  So  he  measured  the  *court, 
an  hundred  cubits  long,  and  an 
hundred  cubits  broad,  four- 
s([uare;  and  the  "altar  that  was 
before  the  house. 

48  ^f  And  he  brought  me  to  the 
^j:)orch  of  the  house,  and  meas- 
ured each  post  of  the  porch,  five 
cubits  on  this  side,  and  five  cu- 
bits on  that  side:  and  the  l)readtli 
of  the  gate  tvas  three  cubits  on 
this  side,  and  three  cubits  on  that 
side. 

49  The  length  of  the  ^porch  was 
twenty  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
eleven  cubits;  and  Jie  brought  me 
by  the  steps  whereby  they  went 
up  to  it:  and  there  were  "pillars  by 
the  posts,  one  on  this  side,  and 
another  on  that  side.

h  Reed,  Ezek.  40:3. 

1  R.  V.  that  the 
house  had  a 
raised  basement 
round  about: 


which  was  the  breadth  of  the 
''tabernacle. 

2  And  tlie  breadth  of  the  door 
was  ten  cubits;  and  the  sides  of 
the  door  were  five  cubits  on  the 
one  side,  and  five  cubits  on 
the  other  side :  and  he  measured 
the  length  thereof,  forty  cubits: 
and  the  breadth,  twenty  cubits. 

3  Then  went  he  inward,  and 
measured  the  post  of  the  door, 
two  cubits ;  and  the  door,  six  cu- 
bits; and  the  breadth  of  the  door, 
seven  cubits. 

4  So  he  measured  the  length 
thereof,  twenty  cubits;  and  the 
breadth,  twenty  cubits,  before 
the  ''temple:  and  he  said  unto 
me.  This  is  the  ^most  holy  place. 

5  After  he  measured  the  wall 
of  the  house,  six  cubits;  and 
the  breadth  of  every  side  cham- 
ber, four  cubits,  round  about  the 
house  on  every  side. 

6  And  the  side  "chambers  were 
three,  one  over  another,  and 
thirty  in  order;  and  they  en- 
tered into  the  wall  which  was  of 
the  house  for  the  side  cham- 
bers round  about,  that  they  might 
have  hold,  but  they  had  not  hold 
in  the  wall  of  the  house. 

7  And  there  was  an  enlarging, 
and  a  winding  about  still  up- 
ward to  the  side  "chambers:  for 
the  winding  about  of  the  house 
went  still  upward  round  about 
the  house:  therefore  the  breadth 
of  the  house  was  still  upward, 
and  so  increased  from  the  lowest 
chamber  to  the  highest  by  the 
midst. 

8  I  saw  also  Hhe  height  of  the 
house  round  about:  the  founda- 
tions of  the  side  chambers  ivere  a 
full  ''reed  of  six  great  cubits. 

9  The  thickness  of  the  wall, 
which  was  for  the  side  chamber 
without,  tvas  five  cubits:  and 
that  which  was  left  was  the  place 
of  the  side  chambers  that  were 
within. 


10  And  between  the  "chambers 
ivas  the  wideness  of  twenty  cu- 
bits round  about  the  house  on 
every  side. 

11  And  the  doors  of  the  side 
"chambers  were  toward  the  place 
that  was  left,  one  door  to- 
ward the  north,  and  another 
door  toward  the  south:  and 
the  breadth  of  the  place  that 
was  left  was  five  cubits  round 
about. 

12  Now  the  building  that  was 
before  the  separate  place  at  the 
end  toward  the  west  was  sev- 
enty cubits  broad;  and  the  wall 
of  the  building  was  five  cubits 
thick  round  about,  and  the  length 
thereof  ninety  cubits. 

13  So  he  measured  the  house, 
an  hundred  cubits  long;  and  the 
separate  place,  and  the  building, 
with  the  walls  thereof,  an  hun- 
dred cubits  long; 

14  Also  the  breadth  of  the  face 
of  the  house,  and  of  the  separate 
place  toward  the  east,  an  hun- 
dred cubits. 

15  And  he  measured  the  length 
of  the  building  over  against  the 
separate  place  which  was  behind 
it,  and  the  galleries  thereof  on 
the  one  side  and  on  the  other 
side,  an  hundred  cubits,  with  the 
inner  temple,  and  the  '^porches 
of  the  court; 

16  The  door  posts,  and  the 
^narrow  %indows,  and  the  gal- 
leries round  about  on  their  three 
stories,  over  against  the  door, 
cieled  with  wood  round  about, 
and  from  the  ground  up  to  the 
windows,  and  the  windows  were 
covered ; 

17  To  that  above  the  door,  even 
unto  the  inner  house,  and  with- 
out, and  by  all  the  wall  round 
about  within  and  without,  by 
measure. 

18  And  it  was  made  with  '^cher- 
ubims  and  'palm  trees,  so  that  a 
palm  tree  was  between  a  cherub

had  two  faces; 

19  So  that  the  face  of  a  man

Hon  toward  the  palm  tree  on  the

all  the  house  round  about. 

20  From  the  ground  unto  above

'palm  trees  made,  and  on  the  wall 
of  the  ''temple.

thereof  two  cubits;  and  the  cor-

icere  of  wood:  and  he  said  unto 
me.  This  is  the  table  that  is  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

23  And  the  "temple  and  the 
'"sanctuary  had  two  "doors. 

24  And  the  "doors  had  two 
leaves  apiece,  two  turning  leaves; 
two  leaves  for  the  one  door,  and 
two  leaves  for  the  other  door. 

25  And  there  were  made  on 
them,  on  the  "doors  of  the  *tem- 
ple,  ^cherubims  and  'palm  trees, 
like  as  were  made  upon  the  walls; 
and  there  were  tliick  planks  ui)()n 
the  face  of  the  'porch  without. 

26  And  there  were  ^narrow  'win- 
dows and  'palm  trees  on  the  one 
side  and  on  the  other  side,  on  the 
sides  of  tlie  'porch,  and  upon  the 
side  chambers  of  the  house,  and 
thick  planks. 

CHAPTER  42 

The  chambers  in  the.  corirt  of  the  temple. 
1.3  Some  of  them  for  the  priests.  15  The 
measures  of  the  outward  court. 

THEN  he  l)rought  '^me  forth 
into  the  Mitter  ''court,  the 
way  toward  the  north:  and  he 
brought  me  into  the  '^chamber 
that  was  over  against  the  sepa- 


rate {^lace,  and  which  was  before 
the  building  toward  the  north, 

2  Before  the  length  of  an 
hundred  ''cubits  teas  the  north 
door,  and  the  breadth  teas  fifty 
cubits. 

3  Over  against  the  twenty  cubits 
which  were  for  the  inner  "court, 
and  over  against  the  pavement 
which  was  for  the  Hitter  court, 
teas  gallery  against  gallery  in 
three   stories. 

4  And  before  the  '^chambers 
icas  a  walk  of  ten  cubits  breadth 
inward,  a  way  of  one  cubit;  and 
their  doors  toward  the  north. 

5  Now  the  upper  '^chambers  were 
shorter:  for  the  galleries  were 
iiigher  than  these,  than  the  lower, 
and  than  the  middlemost  of  the 
building. 

6  For  they  were  in  three  stories, 
but  had  nf)t  pillars  as  the  pillars 
of  the  courts:  therefore ///f  ^build- 
ing was  straitened  more  than  the 
lowest  and  the  middlemost  from 
the  ground. 

7  And  the  wall  that  was  without 
over  against  the  '^chambers,  to- 
ward the  Hitter  "court  on  the  fore- 
part of  the  chambers,  the  length 
thereof  was  fifty  ''cubits. 

8  For  the  length  of  the  '"cham- 
bers that  were  in  the  'utter  court 
was  fifty  cubits:  and,  lo,  before 
the  temple  were  an  hundred  cu- 
bits. 

9  And  from  under  these  '^cham- 
bers teas  the  entry  on  the  east 
side,  as  one  goeth  into  them  from 
the  'utter  "court. 

10  The  '^chambers  were  in  the 
thickness  of  the  wall  of  the  "court 
toward  the  east,  over  against  the 
separate  place,  and  over  against 
the  building. 

1 1  And  the  way  before  them  was 
like  the  appearance  of  the  ''cham- 
bers which  were  toward  the  north, 
^as  long  as  they,  and  as  broad 
as  they:  and  all  their  goings  out 
were  both  according  to  theirfash-

12  And  according  to  the  doors 
of  the  '^chambers  that  were  to- 
ward the  south  was  a  door  in  the 
head  of  the  way,  even  the  way  di- 
rectly before  the  wall  toward  the 
east,  as  one  entcreth  into  them. 

13  T[  Then  said  he  unto  me, 
The  north  '^chambers  and  the 
south  chamliers,  which  are  be- 
fore the  separate  place,  they  be 
holy  chambers,  where  the  priests 
tliat  approach  unto  the  Lord 
sliall  eat  the  *most  holy  things: 
there  shall  they  lay  the  most  holy 
things,  and  the  ^"'meat  offering, 
and  the  ''sin  offering,  and  the 
''trespass  offering;  for  the  place 
is  holy. 

14  When  the  priests  enter  there- 
in, then  shall  they  not  go  out 
of  the  holy  place  into  the  ^utter 
''court,  but  there  they  shall  lay 
their  'garments  wherein  they 
minister;  for  they  arc  holy;  and 
shall  put  on  other  garments,  and 
shall  approach  to  those  tilings 
which  aj-e  for  the  people. 

15  TfNow  when  he  had  made  an 
end  of  measuring  the  inner  house, 
he  brought  me  forth  toward  tlie 
^gate  whose  prospect  is  toward 
the  east,  and  measured  it  round 
about. 

16  He  measured  the  east  side 
with  the  measuring  ^reed,  five 
hundred  reeds,  Avith  the  measur- 
ing reed  round  about. 

17  He  measured  the  north  side, 
five  hundred  reeds,  with  the  meas- 
uring reed  round  about. 

18  He  measured  the  south  side, 
five  hundred  reeds,  with  the  meas- 
uring reed. 

19  He  turned  about  to  the  west 
side,  and  measured  five  hundred 
reeds  with  the  measuring  reed. 

20  He  measured  it  by  the  four 
sides:  it  had  a  wall  round  about, 
five  hundred  reeds  long,  and  five 
hundred  broad,  to  make  a  sep- 


aration between  ^the  sanctuary 
and  the  profane  place. 

CHAPTER  43 

The  return  of  God's  glory  to  the  temple. 
7  His  promise  to  dwell  there  on  condition 
of  his  people's  repentance  and  future 
obedience.  13  The  altar  of  burnt  offer- 
ings, 18  and  the  ordinances  thereof. 

AFTERWARD    he    brought 
"me  to  the  *gate,  even  the 
gate  that  looketh  toward  the  east: 

2  And,  behold,  the  "^glory  of  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el  came  from  the 
way  of  the  east:  and  his  voice  was 
like  a  noi.se  of  many  waters:  and 
the  earth  shined  with  his  glory. 

3  And  it  teas  according  to  the 
a]:)pearance  of  the  ''vision  which 
I  saw,  even  according  to  the  vi- 
sion that  I  saw  when  I  came  to 
destroy  the  city:  and  the  visions 
were  like  the  vision  that  I  saw 
by  the  river ''Che'bar;  and  I  fell 
upon  my  face. 

4  And  the  '^glory  of  the  Lord 
came  into  the  %ouse  by  the  way 
of  the  gate  whose  prospect  is  to- 
ward the  east. 

5  So  the  spirit  ''took  me  up, 
and  brought  me  into  the  inner 
''court;  and,  behold,  the  ''glory  of 
the  Lord  filled  the  house. 

6  And  I  heard  ^him  speaking 
unto  me  out  of  the  house;  and 
the  man  stood  by  me. 

7  ^  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son 
of  man,  "the  ''place  of  my  throne, 
and  the  ])lace  of  the  soles  of  my 
feet,  where  T  will  dwell  in  the 
midst  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
for  ever,  and  my  holy  name,  shall 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el  no  more  de- 
file, neither  they,  nor  their  kings, 
by  their  whoredom,  nor  by  the 
carcases  of  their  kings  in  their 
high  ])laces. 

8  In  their  setting  of  their  thresh- 
old by  my  thresholds,  and  their 
post  by  my  posts,  and  the  wall 
between  me  and  them,  they  have 
even  defiled  my  holy  name  by 
their  'abominations  that  they 
have    committed:    wherefore    I

them  the  form  of  the  ^house, 
and  the  fashion  thereof,  and  the

write  it  in  their  sight,  that  they 
may  keep  the  whole  form  there-

12  This  is  the  law  of  the  ^house; 
Upon  the  top  of  the  mountain 
the  whole  limit  thereof  round

13  •[[  And  these  are  the  meas- 
ures of  the  "altar  after  the  "■ ''cu-

the  breadth  a  cubit,  and  the  bor-

15  So  the  "altar  shall  be  four

16  And  the  "altar  ^shall  be 
twelve    '^'^cicbifs    long,    twelve 


broad,  square  in  the  four  squares 
thereof. 

17  And  the  settle  shall  be  four-

make  it,  to  offer  'burnt  offerings 
thereon,  and  to  "sprinkle  ''blood 
thereon. 

19  And  thou  shalt  give  to  the 
priests  the  Le'vites  that  be  of  the 
seed  of  '"Za'dok,  which  approach

^•'^blood  thereof,  and  put  it  on  the 
four  '^horns  of  it,  and  on  the  four

the  border  round  about:  thus 
shalt  thou  cleanse  and  Spurge  it. 

21  Thou  shalt  take  the  ^bullock

CHAPTER  44 

The  cast  gate  assigned  only  to  the  prince. 
4  The  priests  reproved  for  polluting  the 
satirtiiary.  9  Idolaters  ineligible  to  the 
priest's  office.  13  The  sons  of  Zadok  are 
appointed  thereto.  17  Ordinances  for  the 
priests. 

THEN  he  brought  '^me  back 
the  way  of  the  ^•''gate  of 
the  outward  '^sanctuary  which 
looketli  toward  the  east;  and  it 
loas  shut. 

2  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me; 
This  ''gate  shall  be  shut,  it  shall 
not  be  opened,  and  no  man  shall 
enter  in  by  it;  because  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  hath  entered 
in  by  it,  therefore  it  shall  be  shut. 

3  It  is  for  the  prince;  the  prince, 
he  shall  sit  in  it  to  eat  bread 
before  the  Lord;  he  shall  enter 
by  the  way  of  the  porch  of  that 
"gate,  and  shall  go  out  by  the 
way  of  the  same. 

4  Tf  Then  brought  he  "me  the 
way  of  the  north  ''gate  before 
the  house:  and  I  looked,  and, 
behold,  the  '^glory  of  the  Lord 
filled  the  "house  of  the  Lord: 
and  I  fell  upon  my  face. 

5  And  the  Lord  said  unto  "me, 
Son  of  man,  mark  well,  and  be- 
hold with  thine  eyes,  and  hear 
with  thine  ears  all  that  I  say 
unto  thee  concerning  all  the  or- 
dinances of  the  '^house  of  the 
Lord,  and  all  the  laws  thereof; 
and  mark  well  the  entering  in  of 
the  house,  with  every  going  forth 
of  the  sanctuary. 

6  And  thou  shalt  say  to  the  re- 


bellious, even  to  the  house  of  Ls'- 
ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 

0  ye  house  of  Ls'ra-el,  let  it  suf- 
fice yovi  of  all  your  '^abomina- 
tions. 

7  In  that  ye  have  ''brought  "^in- 
to my  sanctuary  strangers,  "im- 
circumcised  in  "heart,  and  un- 
circumcised  in  flesh,  to  be  in 
my  ^sanctuary,  to  ^pollute  it, 
even  my  house,  when  ye  offer 
my  bread,  the  fat  and  the  blood, 
and  they  have  broken  my  ^"cove- 
nant because  of  all  your  abom- 
inations. 

8  And  ye  have  not  kept  the 
charge  of  mine  holy  things:  but 
ye  have  set  'keepers  of  my  charge 
in  my  ^sanctuary  for  yourselves. 

9  t  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
No  ^stranger,  ^uncircumcised  in 
''heart,  nor  uncircumcised  in 
flesh,  shall  enter  into  my  *sanc- 
tuary,  of  any  stranger  that  is 
among  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el. 

10  And  the  '"Le'vltes  that  are 
2:one  awav  far  from  me,  when 
Is'ra-el  "went  astray,  which  went 
astray  away  from  me  "after  their 
idols;  they  shall  even  bear  their 
iniquity. 

11  Yet  "'they  shall  be  ministers 
in  my  sanctuary,  having  charge 
at  the  gates  cf  the  house,  and 
ministering  to  the  house:  they 
shall  slay  the  ^burnt  offering  and 
the  sacrifice  for  die  people,  and 
they  shall  stand  before  them  to 
minister  unto  them. 

12  Because  "'they  ministered 
unto  them  before  their  idols,  and 
^■'caused  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  to 
'■fall  into  iniquity;  therefore  have 

1  lifted  up  mine  hand  against 
them,  saith  the  Lord  God,  and 
they  shall  bear  their  iniquity. 

13  And  "'they  shall  not  come 
near  unto  me,  to  do  the  office  of 
a  priest  unto  me,  nor  to  come 
near  to  any  of  my  holy  things,  in 
the  most  holy  place:  but  they 
shall  bear  their  shame,  and  their

'kept  the  charge  of  ray  sanctu-

unto  me,  and  they  shall  stand 
before  me  to  offer  unto  me  the

Lord  God: 

16  They  shall  enter  into  my 
^sanctuary,  and  they  shall  come 
near  to  my  table,  "to  minister 
unto  me,  and  they  shall  keep  my 
charge. 

17  t  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  when  they  enter  in  at  the 
gates  of  the  inner  ^court,  they 
shall  be  clothed  with  ^'^linen  gar- 
ments; and  no  "wool  shall  come 
upon  them,  whiles  they  minister 
in  the  gates  of  the  inner  court, 
and  within. 

18  They  shall  have  ''linen  '^bon-

have  linen  '^breeches  upon  their

eth  ^sweat. 

19  And  when  they  go  forth  into

shall  put  off  their  ''garraents 
wherein  they  ministered,  and  lay 
them  in  the  holy  '^chambers,  and 
they  shall  put  on  other  garments; 
and  they  shall  not  sanctify  the

had  a  priest  before. 

23  And  they  shall  ^■"'- "teach

MOREOVER,  when  ye  shall 
divide  by  "lot  the  land  for 
inheritance,  *ye  shall  offer  an 
oblation  unto  the  Lord,  an  holy 
portion  of  the  land:  the  length 
shall  be  the  length  of  five  and 
twenty  thousand  '^reeds,  and  the 
breadth  shall  he  ten  thousand.

the  '^sanctuary  five  hundred  in 
length,  with  five  hundred  in 
breadth,  square  round  about;  and 
fifty  ^'cubits  round  about  for  the 
suburbs  thereof. 

3  And  of  this  measure  shalt 
thou  measure  the  length  of  five 
and  twenty  thousand,  and  the 
breadth  of  ten  thousand:  and  in 
it  shall  be  the  ^sanctuary  and  the 
most  holy  'place. 

4  The  ''holy  portion  of  the  land 
shall  be  for  the  priests  the  ''min- 
isters of  the  sanctuary,  which 
shall  come  near  to  minister  unto 
the  Lord:  and  it  shall  be  a  place 
for  their  houses,  and  an  holy 
place  for  the  sanctuary. 

5  And  Hhe  five  and  twenty 
thousand  of  length,  and  the  ten 
thousand  of  breadth,  shall  also 
the  Le'vltes,  the  ministers  of  the 
house,  have  for  them.selves,  for 
a  possession  for  twenty  cham- 
bers.

possession  of  the  'city  five  thou-

thousand  long,  over  against  the 
oblation  of  the  holy  portion:  it 


shall  be  for  the  whole  house  of 
I.s'ra-el. 

7  T[  And  a  portion  shall  be  for 
the  prince  on  the  one  side  and  on 
the  other  side  of  the  oblation 
of  the  holy  portion,  and  of  the 
possession  of  the  city,  before

In  the  first  hnonfh,  in  the  first

THUS  saith  the  Lord  God; 
''The  ''gate  of  the  inner

days;  bu'i,  on  the  ''sabbath  it  shall

2  And  the  ^prince  shall  enter  by

without,  and  shall  stand  by  the 
post  of  the  gate,  and  the  priests 
shall  "prepare  his  ''burnt  'offer- 
ing and  his  ^peace  oft'erings,  and 
he  shall  worship  at  the  thresh-

ing as  ^his  hand  shrJl  attain  un-

8  And  when  the  prince  shall  en- 
ter, he  shall  go  in  by  the  way  of 
the  porch  of  that  "gate,  and  he 
shall  go  forth  by  the  way  thereof. 

9  ^  But  when  the  people  of 
the  land  shall  come  before  the 
Lord  in  the  ^solemn  feasts,  he 
that  entereth  in  by  the  way  of 
the  north  *gate  to  '"worship  shall 
go  out  by  the  way  of  the  south 
gate;  and  he  that  entereth  by 
the  way  of  the  south  gate  shall 
go  forth  by  the  way  of  the 
north  gate:  he  shall  not  return 
by  the  way  of  the  gate  whereby 
he  came  in,  but  shall  go  forth 
^over  against  it. 

10  And  the  prince  in  the  midst 
of  them,  when  they  go  in,  shall 
go  in;  and  when  they  go  forth, 
shall  go  forth. 

11  And  in  the  "feasts  and  in  the 
solemnities  the  ^-^meat  offering 
shall  be  an  ''ephah  to  a  "bullock, 
and  an  ephah  to  a  ram,  and  to 
the  '"lambs  as  he  is  able  to  give, 
and  an  *hin  of  ^oil  to  an  ephah. 

12  Now  when  the  -'prince  shall 
prepare  a  ^voluntary  *burnt  'of- 
fering or  'peace  offerings  volun- 
tarily unto  the  Lord,  one  shall 
then  open  him  the  ''gate  that 
looketh  toward  the  east,  and  he 
shall  prepare  his  burnt  offering 
and  his  peace  offerings,  as  he  did 
on   the  'sabbath   day:   then   he 


shall  go  forth;  and  after  his  going 
forth  one  shall  shut  the  gate. 

13  Thou  shalt  ^daily  prepare 
a  ''burnt  ^offering  unto  the  Lord 
of  a  '"lamb  of  the  first  year  "with- 
out "'^blemish:  thou  shalt  pre- 
pare it  every  morning. 

14  And  thou  shalt  prepare  a 
^•^meat  offering  for  it  every 
morning,  the  sixth  part  of  an 
''ephah,  and  the  third  part  of 
an  *hin  of  'oil,  to  temper  with 
the  fine  flour;  a  meat  offering 
continually  by  a  perpetual  or- 
dinance unto  the  Lord. 

15  Thus  shall  they  prepare  the 
'"lamb,  and  the  ^'^meat  offering, 
and  the  'oil,  ^every  morning  jor 
a  continual  burnt  offering. 

16  Tl  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
If  ^the  prince  give  a  gift  unto 
any  of  his  sons,  the  "inherit- 
ance thereof  shall  be  his  sons' ;  it 
shall  he  their  possession  by  in- 
heritance. 

17  But  if  ''he  give  a  gift  of  his 
inheritance  to  one  of  his  serv- 
ants, then  it  shall  be  his  to  the 
'^•'^year  of  liberty;  after  it  shall 
return  to  the  prince:  but  his  '^in- 
heritance  shall  be  his  sons'  for 
them. 

18  Moreover  ''the  prince  shall 
not  take  of  the  people's  "inher- 
itance ^by  oppression,  to  thrust 
them  out  of  their  possession;  hut 
he  shall  give  his  sons  inheritance 
out  of  his  own  possession:  that 
my  people  be  not  scattered  every 
man  from  his  possession. 

19  ^  After  he  brought  me 
through  the  entry,  which  was  a'^ 
the  side  of  the  *gate,  into  the  holy 
''chambers  of  the  priests,  which 
looked  toward  the  north:  and, 
behold,  there  was  a  place  on  the 
two  sides  westward. 

20  Then  said  he  unto  me.  This 
is  the  place  where  the  priests 
shall  boil  the  ^trespass  offering 
and  the  ''sin  offering,  where  they 
shall  bake  the  '-'meat  offering;

into  the  fitter  ^court,  and  caused 
me  to  pass  by  the  four  corners  of 
the  court;  antl,  behold,  in  every 
corner  of  the  court  there  was  a 
court. 

22  In  the  four  corners  of  the 
court  there  were  courts  joined 
of  forty  '^cubits  long  and  thirty 
broad:  these  four  corners  were  of 
one  measure. 

23  And  there  was  a  row  o/ 
building  round  about  in  them, 
round  about  them  four,  and  it 
was  made  with  boiling  places 
under  the  rows  round  about. 

24  Then  said  he  imto  me,  These

4  Ajxain  he  measured  a  thou- 


sand, and  brought  me  through 
the  '^waters;  the  waters  were  to 
the  knees.  Again  he  measured 
a  thousand,  and  brought  me 
through;  the  waters  were  to  the 
loins. 

5  Afterward  he  measured  a 
thousand;  and  it  was  a  ''river 
that  I  could  not  pass  over:  for 
the  waters  were  risen,  waters  to 
swim  in,  a  river  that  could  not  be 
passed  over. 

6 1  And  he  said  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  hast  thou  seen  this  ?  Then 
he  brought  me,  and  caused  me  to 
return  to  the  brink  of  the  ^river. 

7  Now  when  I  had  returned, 
behold,  at  the  bank  of  the  ''river 
were  very  many  trees  on  the  one 
side  and  on  the  other. 

8  Then  said  he  unto  me.  These 
waters  issue  out  toward  the  east 
country,  and  go  down  into  the 
^desert,  and  go  into  the  ''sea: 
which  being  brought  forth  in- 
to the  sea,  the  waters  shall  be 
healed. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
every  thing  that  liveth,  which 
^moveth,  whithersoever  the  ''riv- 
ers shall  come,  shall  "live:  and 
there  shall  be  a  very  great  multi- 
tude of  'fish,  because  these  waters 
shall  come  thither:  for  they  shall 
be  healed;  and  every  thing  shall 
live  whither  the  river  cometh. 

10  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  the  ^fishers  shall  stand  u])on 
it  from  En-ge'dl  even  unto  En- 
eg'la-im;  they  shall  be  a  plaee 
to  spread  forth  ''nets;  their  ^fish 
shall  be  according  to  their  kinds, 
as  the  fish  of  the  'great  sea,  ex- 
ceeding many. 

11  But  the  miry  places  thereof 
and  the  marishes  thereof  shall 
not  hv  healed;  they  sliall  be  given 
to  '"salt.

and  on  that  side,  shall  grow  all

This  shall  be  the  border,  where-

Ls'ra-el:  Jo'seph  shall  have  two 
portions. 

14  And  ye  shall  inherit  ^it,  one 
as  well  as  another:  concerning 
the  which  I  '^lifted  up  mine  hand 
to  give  it  unto  your  fathers:  and 
this  land  shall  fall  unto  you  for

15  And  this  shall  be  the  border

18  And  the  east  side  ye  shall

others  selected  to  be  taught  the  learning 
of  the  Chaldeans.  8  They  refuse  to  eat 
the  king's  meat.  17  Their  great  attain- 
ments in  wisdom. 

IN  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of 
"Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  ''Ju'- 
dah  came  '^Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
king  of  '^Bab'y-lon  unto  '^Je-ru'- 
sfi-lem,  and  'besieged  it. 

2  And  the  Lord  gave  °Je-hoi'- 
a-kim  king  of  *Ju'dah  into  his 
hand,  with  part  of  the  vessels  of 
the  ^house  of  God:  which  he 
carried   into   the  land  of  '^Shl'- 


niir  to  the  house  of  his  god;  and 
he  brought  the  ''vessels  into  the 
'treasure  house  of  his  god. 

3  ^  And  the  '^king  spake  unto 
Ash'pe-naz  the  master  of  his 
'eunuchs,  that  he  should  bring 
certain  of  the  ^children  of  I.^'- 
rael,  and  of  the  king's  seed,  and 
of  the  princes; 

4  '''Children  in  whom  ivas  no 
blemish,  but  well  favoured,  and 
skilful  in  all  '"wisdom,  and  cun- 
ning in  knowledge,  and  under-

ability  in  thciii  to  stand  in  the 
king's  palace,  and  whom  they 
might  "•''■''teach  the  learning 
and  the  ^tongue  of  the  *Ciull- 
de'ans. 

5  And  the  king  appointed 
'•''them  a  daily  provision  of  the 
king's  meat,  and  of  the  *\vine 
which  he  drank:  so  nourishing 
them  three  years,  that  at  the  end 
thereof  they  might  ^stand  before 
the  king. 

6  Now  among  ^these  were  of 
the  children  of  Ju'dah,  ^Dan'jel, 
Han-a-nl'ah,  Mish'a-el,  antl  Az- 
a-ri'ah : 

7  Unto  whom  the  prince  of  the 
'eunuchs  gave  names:  for  he  gave 
unto  ^Dan'iel  the  name  of  Bcl-te- 
sliiz'zar;  and  to  Han-a-ni'ah,  of 
"Slia'drach;  and  to  Mish'a-el,  of 
^:\Ie'shach;  and  to  Az-a-rl'ah,  of 
■'■.\-bed'-ne-gr). 

8  t  But  ^Dan'iel  'purposed  in 
his  "heart  that  he  would  "not  de- 
file himself  \vith  the  porti(jn  of 
the  king's  meat,  "'nor  with  the 
wine  which  he  drank:  therefore 
he  recjuested  of  the  prince  of  the 
'eunuchs  tliat  he  might  not  defile 
himself. 

9  Now  God  "had  •''brougiit 
^Dan'iel  into  ^favour  and  tender 
love  with  the  jn-ince  of  the  'eu- 
nuchs. 

10  And  the  prince  of  the  'eu- 
nuchs said  unto  ^Dan'iel,  I  fear 
my  lord  the  ^king,  who  hath 
appointed  your  meat  and  your 


drink:  for  why  should  he  see 
your  faces  worse  liking  than  the 
^children  which  arc  of  your  sort  ? 
then  sliall  yc  make  me  endanger 
my  head  to  the  king. 

11  Then  said  ^Dan'iel  to  ^Mel'- 
zar,  whom  the  prince  of  the 
"eunuchs  had  set  over  Dan'icl, 
"llan-a-nl'ah,  ^:Mish'a-el,  and 
■•■Az-a-ri'ah, 

12  Prove  thy  servants,  I  be- 
seech thee,  ten  days;  and  let 
them  give  us  pulse  to  eat,  and 
water  to  tlrink. 

13  Then  let  our  ''countenances 
be  looked  \\\)on  before  thee,  and 
tlie  countenance  of  the  ^' "^chil- 
dren that  eat  of  the  ])ortion  of 
the  king's  meat:  and  as  the  u 
seest,  deal  with  thy  .servants. 

14  So  he  consented  to  them  in 
this  matter,  and  jn-oved  them  ten 
days. 

15  And  at  the  end  t)f  ten  days 
their  "countenances  appeared 
fairer  and  fatter  in  flesh  than  all 
the  ^•''children  which  did  eat  the 
portion  of  the  king's  meat. 

16  ^Thus  Mel'zar  took  away  the 
portion  of  their  meat,  and  the 
'^vine  that  they  should  drink;  and 
gave  them  pulse. 

17  t  As  for  these  four  '-^chil- 
dren, God  "gave  them  knowl- 
edge and  skill  in  all  learning  and 
^visdom :  and  ^Dan'icl  had  "un-

them;  and  among  them  all  was 
found  none  like  ■'^Dan'iel,  "Han-

king  enquired  of  them,  he  found 
them  ten  times  better  than  all

that  were  in  all  his  realm.

unto  the  first  year  of  king'^y'rus.

Nebuchadnezzar,  foroetting  his  dream,  re-

being  unable  are  condemned  to  die.  14

31  The  dream.  36  Its  interpretation. 
46  Daniel's  promotion. 

AND  in  the  second  year  of  the 
reign  of  *Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar  N6b-u-chad-nez'zar  dreamed 
"dreams,  wherewith  his  spirit  was 
troubled,  and  his  *sleep  brake 
from  him. 

2  Then  the  *king  commanded 
to  call  the  ^magicians,  and  the 
^astrologers,  and  the  '^sorcerers, 
and  the  ''Chal-de'ans,  for  to  shew 
the  king  his  '^dreams.  So  they 
came  and  stood  before  the  king. 

3  And  the  *king  said  unto  them, 
I  have  dreamed  a  "dream,  and 
my  spirit  was  troubled  to  know 
the  dream. 

4  Then  spake  the  ''ChS.l-de'an.s 


to  the  king  in  ^Syr'i-ack,  ''O  king, 
live  forever:  tell  thy  servants  the 
''dream,  and  we  will  shew  the  in- 
terpretation. 

5  The  *kiiig  answered  and  said 
to  the  ''Chal-de'an.s,  The  thing  is 
gone  from  me :  if  ye  will  not  make 
known  unto  me  the  "dream,  with 
the  interpretation  thereof,  ''ye 
shall  be  *cut  in  pieces,  and  your 
houses  shall  be  made  a  dunghill. 

6  But  if  ye  shew  the  "dream, 
and  the  interpretation  thereof, 
ye  shall  receive  of  me  ^gifts  and 
rewards  and  great  honour:  there- 
fore shew  me  the  dream,  and  the 
interpretation  thereof. 

7  They  answered  again  and  said. 
Let  the  *king  tell  his  servants 
the  dream,  and  we  will  shew  the 
interpretation  of  it. 

8  The  king  answered  and  said,  I 
know  of  certainty  that  ye  would 
gain  the  time,  because  ye  see  the 
thing  is  gone  from  me. 

9  But  if  ye  will  not  make  known 
unto  me  the  "dream,  there  is 
but  one  decree  for  you:  for  ye 
have  prepared  lying  and  corrupt 
words  to  speak  before  me,  till  the 
time  be  changed:  therefore  tell 
me  the  dream,  and  I  shall  know 
that  ye  can  shev/  me  the  inter- 
pretation thereof. 

10  Tf  The  *ChS.l^de'ans  answered 
before  the  king,  and  said,  There 
is  not  a  man  upon  the  earth  that 
can  shew  the  king's  matter:  there- 
fore there  is  no  king,  lord,  nor 
ruler,  that  asked  such  things  at 
any  '^magician,  or  ^-''astrologer, 
or  Chal-de'an.

fore the  king,  except  the  gods, 
whose  dwelHng  is  not  with  flesh. 

12  For  this  cause  the  *king  was 
'^angry  and  very  furious,  and 
''commanded  to  destroy  all  the 
wise  men  of  'Bab'y-lon. 

13  And  ''the  decree  went  forth 
th;it  the  wise  mrv?  should  be  slain; 
and  they  sought  "'Dan'iel  and  his 
fellows  to  be  slain. 

14  ^  Then  '"Dan'iel  answered 
with  counsel  and  "wisdom  to 
.\'ri-och  the  "captain  of  the 
king's  guard,  which  was  gone 
forth  to  slay  the  wise  men  of 
'Bab'y-lon: 

15  '"He  answered  and  said 
to  A'ri-och  the  king's  "captain, 
Why  is  the  decree  so  "hasty  from 
the  king  ?  Then  A'ri-och  made 
the  thing  known  to  Dan'iel. 

16  Then  '"Dan'iel  went  in,  and 
desired  of  the  king  that  he  would 
give  him  time,  and  that  he  would 
shew  the  king  the  interpretation. 

17  Then  '"Dan'iel  went  to  his 
house,  and  made  the  thing  known 
to  '^Han-a-ni'ah,  'Mish'a-el,  and 
'^Az-a-ri'ah,  his  companions: 

18  *That  they  would  desire  'mer- 
cies of  the  God  of  heaven  con- 
cerning this  secret;  that  '"Dan'iel 
and  his  fellows  should  not  perish 
with  the  rest  of  the  wise  men  of 
'Bab'y-lon. 

10  ^  "Then  was  the  secret  '^re- 
vealed unto  '"Dan'iel  in  a  night 
"'vision.  Then  Dan'icl  ^blessed 
the  God  of  heaven. 

20  '"Daii'iel  answered  and  .said, 
"Blessed  be  the  name  of  God  for 
ever  and  ever:  for  ^wisdom  and 
might  are  his: 

21  And  ''he  changcth  the  times 
and  the  ^.seasons:  '^■''-'^he  re- 
moveth  ''•^kings,  and  setteth  up 
kings:  he  giveth  '■''wisdom  unto 


the  wise,  and  ''knowledge  to  them 
that  know  understanding: 

22  "He  revealeth  the  deep  and 
secret  things:  he  ^knoweth  what 
is  in  the  darkness,  and  the  light 
dwelleth  with  him. 

23  T  'thank  thee,  and  'praise 
thee,  O  thou  God  of  my  fathers, 
who  hast  given  me  ''^wisdom  and 
might,  and  hast  made  known 
unto  me  now  what  we  desired  of 
thee:  for  thou  hast  now  made 
known  unto  us  the  king's  matter. 

24  T[  Therefore  'Dan'iel  went 
in  unto  A'ri-och,  whom  the  king 
had  ordained  to  destroy  the  wise 
men  of  Bab'y-lon:  he  went  and 
'"said  thus  unto  him;  Destroy 
not  the  "wise  men  of  B3,b'y-lon: 
l)ring  me  in  before  the  king,  and 
I  will  shew  mito  the  king  the 
"interpretation. 

25  Then  A'ri-och  brought  in 
^Dan'iel  before  the  *king  in 
haste,  and  said  thus  unto  him,  I 
have  found  a  man  of  the  captives 
of  Ju'dah,  that  will  make  known 
unto  the  king  the  "interpreta- 
tion. 

26  The  *king  answered  and 
said  to  'Dan'iel,  whose  name  was 
Bel-te-shaz'zar,  Art  thou  able  to 
make  known  unto  me  the  ''dream 
which  I  have  seen,  and  the  "in- 
terpretation thereof  ? 

27  'Dan'iel  answered  in  the 
presence  of  the  king,  and  said. 
The  secret  which  the  king  hath 
demanded  cannot  the  wise  men, 
the  'astrologers,  the  "magicians, 
the  soothsayers,  shew  unto  the 
king; 

28  But  there  is  a  God  in  heaven 
that  revealeth  secrets,  and  ''mak- 
cth  known  to  the  king  *Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  what  shall  be  in  the 
latter  days.  Thy  ''dream,  and 
the  visions  of  thy  head  upon  thy

thoughts  came  into  thy  mind  up- 
on thy  bed,  what  should  come  to 
pass  hereafter:  and  *he  that  re- 
vealeth  secrets  maketh  known  to 
thee  what  shall  come  to  pass. 

30  '^But  as  for  me,  *this  secret  is 
not  revealed  to  me  for  any  wis- 
dom that  I  have  more  than  any 
living,  ^but  for  their  sakes  that 
shall  make  known  the  interpre- 
tation to  the  king,  and  that  thou 
inightest  know  the  thoughts  of 
thy  heart. 

31  ^  Thou^  O  king,  sawest,  and 
behold  a  great  image.  This  great 
image,  whose  brightness  was  ex- 
cellent, stood  before  thee;  and 
the  ^form  tliereof  teas  terrible. 

32  This  image's  head  teas  of  fine 
'gold,  his  breast  and  his  arms  of 
"silver,  his  belly  and  his  thighs 
of  "brass, 

33  His  legs  of  "'iron,  his  feet 
part  of  iron  and  part  of  ^clay. 

34  Thou  sawest  till  that  a 
^'^stone  was  cut  out  without 
hands,  which  smote  the  image 
upon  his  feet  that  were  of  ^iron 
and  ^clay,  and  brake  them  to 
pieces. 

35  Then  was  the  "'iron,  the  ^clay, 
the  ^brass,  the  "silver,  and  the 
'gold,  broken  to  pieces  together, 
and  became  like  the  chaff  of  the 
summerthreshing-floors;  and  the 
wind  carrietl  them  away,  that  no 
place  was  found  for  them:  and 
^the  ^stone  that  smote  the  ima^e 
became  a  great  mountain,  and 
filled  the  whole  earth. 

36  ^  This  is  the  '^dream;  and 
we  will  tell  the  interpretation 
thereof   before   the    king. 

37  *Thou,  O  king,  art  a  *king 
of  kings:  for  '^the  God  of  heaven 
'^'hath  given  ^thee  a  kingdom, 
power,  and  strength,  and  glory. 

38  And  wheresoever  the  chil- 
dren of  men  dwell,  the  beasts  of 
the  field  and  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven  hath  he  '^given  into  thine 
hand,  and  hath  made  thee^'-^ruler 


over  them  all.  Thou  art  this  head 
of  gold. 

39  And  after  thee  shall  arise 
another  kingdom  inferior  to  thee, 
and  another  third  kingdom  of 
''brass,  which  shall  bear  rule  over 
all  the  earth. 

40  And  the  fourth  kingdom 
shall  be  strong  as  ''iron:  foras- 
much as  iron  breaketh  in  pieces 
and  subdueth  all  things:  and  as 
iron  that  breaketh  all  these,  shall 
it  break  in  j)ieces  and  bruise. 

41  And  whereas  thou  sawest 
the  feet  and  toes,  part  of  pot- 
ters' *clay,  and  part  of  'iron,  the 
kingdom  shall  be  divided;  but 
there  shall  be  in  it  of  the  strength 
of  the  iron,  forasmuch  as  thou 
sawest  the  iron  mixed  with  miry 
clay. 

42  And  as  the  toes  of  the  feet 
were  part  of  iron,  and  part  of 
clay,  so  the  kingdom  shall  be 
partly  strong,  and  partly  broken. 

43  And  whereas  thou  sawest 
iron  mixed  with  miry  clay,  they 
shall  mingle  themselves  with  the 
seed  of  men:  but  they  shall  not 
cleave  one  to  another,  even  as 
iron  ^is  not  mixed  with  clay. 

44  And  in  the  days  of  these 
kings  shall  the  God  of  heaven 
set  up  a  ''kingdom,  which  shall 
never  be  destroyed:  ^and  the 
kingdom  shall  not  be  left  to  other 
people,  but  it  shall  break  in  pieces 
and  consume  all  these  kingdoms, 
and  it  shall  stand  for  ever. 

45  Forasmuch  as  thou  sawest 
that  the  '^•^stone  was  cut  out  of 
the  mountain  without  hands,  and 
that  it  brake  in  ])ieces  the  iron, 
the  brass,  the  clay,  the  silver,  and 
the  gold;  the  great  '"God  hath 
made  known  to  the  king  what 
shall  come  to  pass  hereafter: 
and  the  dream  is  certain,  and 
the  "interpretation  thereof  sure. 

46  T[  Then  the  king  *Neb-u-

and  "worshipped  "Dan'iel,  and

be  cast  into  the  midst  of  a  burn- 
ing 'fiery  "'furnace. 

12  There  are  certain  ^Jew.s 
whom  thou  hast  set  over  the  af- 
fairs of  the  ^'province  of  ''Bab'y- 
lon,  ''Sha'drach,  *jMe'shach,  and 
'A-bed'-ne-go;  "these  men,  O 
king,  have  not  regarded  thee :  they 
serve  not  thy  gods,  nor  '^worship 
the  golden  ''image  which  thou 
hast  set  up. 

13  T[  Then '^Nel)-u-chad-nez'zar 
in  hi.'}  ^'rage  and  fury  commanded 
to  bring  ''Shri'dracli,  ^INIe'shach, 
and  'A-bed'-ne-go.  Then  they 
brought  these  men  before  the 
king. 

14  '^Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  spake 
and  said  unto  them.  Is  it  true,  O 
'^Sha'drach,  *Me'shach,  and  'A- 
bed'-ne-g5,  do  not  ye  serve  my 
gods,  nor  Svorship  the  golden 
''image  which  I  have  set  up  ? 

15  '^Now  if  ye  be  ready  that  at 
what  time  ye  hear  the  sound  of 
the  ^cornet,  ^flute,  ''harp,  ''sack- 
but,  ^'''psaltery,  and  "dulcimer, 
and  all  kinrls  of  musick,  ye  fall 
down  and  worship  the  image 
which  I  have  made;  ivell:  '-^but 
if  ye  worship  not,  ye  shall  be  cast 
the  same  hour  into  the  midst  of 
a  burning  'fiery  '"furnace;  and 
""who  is  that  God  that  shall  de- 
liver you  out  of  my  hands  ? 

16  ''Sha'drach,  ^Me'shach,  and 
'A-bed'-ne-go,  ''^answered  and 
^•^•"said  to  the  king,  O  Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar,  we  \re  not  careful 
to  answer  thee  in  this  matter. 

17  If  it  be  so,  ''our  God  whom 
we  serve  is  '^able  to  deliver  us 
from  the  burning  fiery  furnace, 
and  ''he  will  deliver  us  out  of 
thine  hand,  O  king. 

18  But  if  not,  "be  it  known  unto 
thee,  O  king,  that  "-^•/•"we  will 
not  serve  thy  gods,  nor  worship 
the  golden  ''image  which  thou 
hast  set  up. 

19  T[  Then  was  'Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar    full   of  ^fury,   and    the 


form  of  his  ^"visage  was  changed 
against  'Sha'drach,  '"Me'shach, 
and  "A-bed'-ne-go :  therefore  he 
spake,  and  "commanded  that 
they  should  heat  the  ^furnace 
one  seven  times  more  than  it 
was  wont  to  be  heated. 

20  And  "he  commanded  ■*the 
most  mighty  men  that  were  in 
his  army  to  bind  'Sha'drach, 
"'jMe'shach,  and  "A-bed'-ne-go, 
a7}d  to  ^cast  them  into  the  burn- 
ing '■fiery  ^furnace. 

21  Then  tliese  men  were  bound 
in  their  ^coats,  their  hosen,  and 
their  hats,  and  their  other  gar- 
ments, and  were  *cast  into  the 
midst  of  the  burning  fiery  fur- 
nace. 

22  Therefore  because  the  king's 
commandment  was  urgent,  and 
the  ^'furnace  exceeding  hot,  the 
flame  of  the  fire  slew  those  men 
that  took  up  'Sha'drach,  '"Me'- 
shach,  and  '*A-bed'-ne-go. 

23  And  these  three  men,  'Sha'- 
drach, '":\Ie'shach,  and  "A-bed'- 
ne-go,  fell  down  bound  into  the 
midst  of  the  burning  ''fiery  ^fur- 
nace. 

24  Then  'Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
the  king  was  astonied,  and  rose 
up  in  haste,  and  spake,  and  said 
unto  his  counsellors,  Did  not 
we  cast  three  men  bound  into 
the  midst  of  the  fire?  They  an- 
swered and  said  unto  the  kins, 
True,  O  king. 

25  He  answered  and  said,  Lo,  I 
see  four  men  loose,  walking  in 
the  midst  of  the  fire,  and  they 
'have  no  hurt;  and  the  ''form  of 
the  "fourth  is  like  ^the  Son  of 
God. 

26  1[  Then  ^Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar came  near  to  the  mouth 
of  the  burning  ''fiery  ^furnace, 
and  spake,  and  said,  'Sha'drach, 
'"INIe'shach,  and  "A-bed'-ne-go, 
ye  ^servants  of  the  most  high  God, 
come  forth,  and  come  hitJier.

midst  of  the  fire. 

27  And  the  ^prince.s,  governors, 
and  captains,  and  tlieking'.s  coun- 
sellors, being:  gathered  together, 
saw  these  men,  upon  whose  bod- 
ies 'the  jBre  had  no  power,  nor 
was  an  hair  of  their  head  singed, 
neither  were  their  coats  changed, 
nor  the  smell  of  fire  had  passetl

28  ^'Theii  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
spake,  and  said,  ■^Bles.sed  be 
the  God  of  'Sha'drach,  "'INIe'-

hath  sent  his  "angel,  and  ^deliv-

in  him,  and  have  changed  the 
king's  word,  and  "yielded  their

nor  ^worship  any  god,  except

and  their  houses  shall  be  made

either  God  that  can  deliver  after 
this  sort. 

30  ^  Then  the  king  ''promoted

dwell  in  all  the  earth;  ''Peace  be

how  mighty  are  his  wonders! 
''his  kingdom  is  an  ^everlasting 
kingdom,  and  his  dominion  is 
from  generation    to  generation. 

4  T[  I  "Xeb-u-chad-nez'zar  was 
at  rest  in  mine  house,  and  flour- 
ishing in  my  palace: 

5  T  saw  a  ^'-'dream  which  made 
me  afraid,  and  the  thoughts  up- 
on my  bed  and  the  '"visions  of 
my  head  troublctl  me. 

6  Therefore  made  I  a  decree 
to  bring  in  all  the  wise  men  of 
"Brdj'y-lon  before  me,  that  they 
might  make  knowai  unto  me  the 
interpretation  of  the  ^'dream. 

7  'Jlien  came  in  the  "magicians, 
the  ^-''astrologers,  the  *Chal- 
de'an.s,  and  the  soothsayers: 
and  I  told  the  '^'dream  before 
them;  but  they  did  not  make 
known  unto  me  the  interpreta- 
tion thereof. 

8  But  at  the  last  ''Dan'iel  came 
in  before  me,  whose  name  'zra.s- 
Bel-te-shaz'zar,  according  to  the 
name  of  my  god,  and  in  whom 
is  the  spirit  of  the  holy  *gods: 
and  before  him  I  told  the  dream, 
saying, 

9  O  '^Bel-te-shaz'zar,  master  of 
the  magicians,  because  I  know 
that  the  spirit  of  the  holy  *gods  is 
in  thee,  and  no  secret  troubleth 
thee,  t(41  me  the  visions  of  my 
^dream  that  I  have  seen,  and  the 
interpretation  thereof. 

10  Thus  were  the  "'visions  of 
mine  head  in  my  l)ed;  I  .saw,  and 
behold  a  'tree  in  the  midst  of  the 
earth,  and  the  height  thereof  was 
great. 

11  The  'tree  grew,  and  was 
strong,  and  the  height  thereof 
reached  unto  heaven,  and  the 
sight  thereof  to  the  end  of  all 
the  earth:

fair,  and  the  fruit  thereof  much.

and  in  it  teas  meat  for  all:  the 
beasts  of  the  field  had  shadow 
under  it,  and  the  fowls  of  the 
i  heaven  dwelt  in  the  boughs 
thereof,  and  all  flesh  was  fed 
of  it. 

13  I  saw  in  the  '"visions  of  my 
head  upon  my  bed,  and,  behold, 
a  watcher  and  an  holy  one  came 
down  from  heaven; 

14  He  'cried  aloud,  and  said 
thus,  *'Hew  down  the  tree,  and 
cut  off  his  *branches,  shake  off 
his  leaves,  and  scatter  his  fruit: 
let  the  beasts  get  away  from  un- 
der it,  and  the  fowls  from  his 
branches: 

15  Nevertheless  leave  the  stump 
of  his  roots  in  the  earth,  even 
with  a  band  of  iron  and  brass,  in 
the  tender  grass  of  the  field ;  and 
let  it  be  wet  with  the  ^dew  of 
heaven,  and  let  his  portion  he 
with  the  beasts  in  the  grass  of 
the  earth: 

16  ^Let  his  heart  be  changed 
from  man's,  and  let  a  beast's 
heart  be  given  unto  him;  and 
let  "'seven  times  pass  over  him. 

17  This  matter  is  by  the  decree 
of  the  watchers,  and  the  demand 
by  the  word  of  the  holy  ones:  to 
the  intent  ^that  the  living  may 
know  that  ^the  *most  High  rul- 
eth  in  the  kingdom  of  men,  and 
^giveth  it  to  whomsoever  he  will, 
and  setteth  up  over  it  the  basest 
of  men. 

18  This  '^dream  I  king  *Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  have  seen.  Now 
thou,  O  '^Bel-te-shiiz'zar,  declare 
the  interpretation  thereof,  foras- 
much as  all  the  wise  men  of  my 
kingdom  are  not  able  to  make 
known  unto  me  the  interpreta- 
tion: but  thou  art  able;  for  the 
spirit  of  the  holy  gods  is  in  thee. 

19  T[  Then '^Dan'iel,  whose  name 


ivas  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  was  astonied 
for  one  hour,  and  his  thoughts 
troubled  him.  The  king  spake, 
and  said,  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  let  not 
the  dream,  or  the  interpretation 
thereof,  trouble  thee.  Bel-te- 
shaz'zar  answered  and  said.  My 
lord,  the  "dream  6c  to  them  that 
''hate  thee,  and  the  interpreta- 
tion thereof  to  thine  '^enemies. 

20  The  tree  that  thou  saw- 
est,  which  grew,  and  was  strong, 
whose  height  reached  unto  the 
heaven,  and  the  sight  thereof  to 
all  the  earth; 

21  Whose  leaves  were  fair,  and 
the  fruit  thereof  much,  and  in  it 
was  meat  for  all;  under  which 
the  beasts  of  the  field  dwelt,  and 
upon  whose  branches  the  fowls 
of  the  heaven  had  their  habita- 
tion: 

22  It  is  *thou,  O  king,  that  art 
grown  and  become  strong :  for  thy 
greatness  is  grown,  and  reacheth 
unto  heaven,  and  thy  ''dominion 
to  the  end  of  the  earth. 

23  And  whereas  the  king  saw  a 
watcher  and  an  holy  one  coming 
down  from  heaven,  and  saying, 
Hew  the  tree  down,  and  destroy 
it;  yet  leave  the  stump  of  the 
roots  thereof  in  the  earth,  even 
with  a  band  of  iron  and  brass, 
in  the  tender  grass  of  the  field; 
and  let  it  be  wet  with  the  \lew 
of  heaven,  and  let  his  portion  he 
with  the  beasts  of  the  field,  till 
seven  times  pass  over  him; 

24  This  is  the  "interpretation, 
O  king,  and  this  is  the  "■''decree 
of  the  *most  High,  which  is  come 
upon  my  lord  the  king: 

25  That  "'"they  shall  drive  *thee 
from  men,  and  thy  dwelling  shall 
be  with  the  beasts  of  the  field, 
and  they  shall  make  thee  to  eat

thee  with  the  ^dcw  of  heaven, 
and  ^'seven  times  shall  pass  over 
thee,  ^'till  thou  know  that  the 
'most  High  'ruletli  in  tlie  king- 
dom of  men,  and  "'giveth  it  to 
whomsoever  he  will. 

26  And  whereas  they  com- 
manded to  leave  the  stump  of 
the  tree  roots;  thy  kingdom  shall 
be  sure  unto  thee,  *after  that  thou 
shalt  have  known  that  the  heav- 
ens do  rule. 

27  Wherefore,  O  king,  let  my 
counsel  be  acceptable  unto  thee, 
and  "•"•Pbreak  off  thy  *sins  by 
righteousness,  and  thine  iniq- 
uities by  shewing  ''mercy  to  the 
*poor;  if  it  may  be  a  lengthening 
of  thy  trancpiillity. 

28  ^  'AH  this  came  upon  the 
king  *Neb-u-chad-nez'zar. 

29  At  the  end  of  twelve  months 
''he  -walked  in  the  "palace  of  the 
kingdom  of  *'BrU/y-l<»ii- 

30  The  "king  spake,  and 
«'-  ^'  J/said,  Is  not  this  great  "Bab'- 
3^-lon,  that  I  have  built  for  the 
liouse  of  the  kingdom  by  the 
might  of  my  power,  and  for 
the  honour  of  my  majesty  ? 

31  While  the  word  was  in  the 
king's  mouth,  diere  fell  a  voice 
from  heaven,  mijincj,  O  king 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar,  to  thee  it 
is  spoken;  ^The  kingdom  is  de- 
parted from  thee. 

32  And  "they  shall  drive  Hhee 
from  men,  and  ''thy  dwelling 
shall  he  with  the  beasts  of  the 
field:  they  shall  make  thee  to  eat 
grass  as  oxen,  and  ''seven  times 
shall  pa.ss  over  thee,  *until  thou 
know  that  the  ^'most  High  "rul- 
eth  in  the  kingdom  of  men, 
and  ''giveth  it  to  whomsoever 
he  will. 

83  The  same  hour  was  the 
thing  fulfilled  upon^Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar:  and  ''he  was  driven  from 
men,  and  did  eat  grass  as  oxen, 
and  his  body  was  wet  with  the 
^dew  of   heaven,   till    his    hairs 


were  grown  like  eagles'  fcaiJiers, 
and  his  nails  like  birds'  claws. 

34  And  at  the  end  of  the  days  1 
''Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  lifted  up 
mine  eyes  unto  heaven,  and  mine 
understanding  returned  unto  me, 
and  I  blessed  the  'most  High, 
and  I  Upraised  and  honoured 
him  that  liveth  ^for  ever,  whose 
dominion  is  an  everlasting  do- 
minion, and  his  kingdom  is  from 
generation  to  generation: 

35  And  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  earth  are  reputed  as  noth- 
ing: and  ^he  doeth  according  to 
his  ^'will  in  the  army  of  'heaven, 
and  among  the  inhabitants  of  the 
earth:  and  '"none  can  stay  his 
hand,  or  say  unto  him,  WHiat 
doest  thou  ? 

36  At  the  same  time  my  reason 
returned  unto  *me;  and  for  the 
glory  of  my  kingdom,  mine  hon- 
our and  brightness  n^turned  un- 
to me;  and  my  counsellors  and 
my  lords  sought  unto  me;  and  I 
was  establislied  in  my  kingdom, 
and  excellent  majesty  was  added 
unto  me. 

37  Now  I  ''Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
Upraise  and  extol  and  honour  the 
'King  of  heaven,  all  whose  works 
are  'Hruth,  and  his  ways  judg- 
ment: and  those  that  walk  in 
"•Ppride  he  is  "'able  to  ^abase.

3  Then  they  brought  the  ''gold- 
en vessels  that  were  taken  out 
of  the  Hemple  of  the  house  of 
God  which  was  at  'Je-ru'sa-lera; 
and  the  king,  and  his  princes, 
his  *'Vives,  and  his  '"concu-

4  They  drank  *wine,  and 
praised  the  "gods  of  ^gold,  and 
of  ^silver,  of  "brass,  of  ^iron,  of 
wood,  and  of  ^stone. 

5  ^  '^•Tn  the  same  hour  *came 
forth  fingers  of  a  man's  hand, 
and  wrote  over  against  the  can- 
dlestick upon  the  plaister  of  the 
wall  of  the  king's  'palace:  and 
the  king  saw  the  part  of  the  hand 
that  wrote. 

6  Then  the  king's  "countenance 
was  changed,  and  his  thoughts 
troubled  him,  so  that  the  joints 
of  his  loins  were  loosed,  and  his 
knees  smote  one  against  another. 

7  The  king  cried  aloud  to 
bring  in  the  '""astrologers,  the 
""Chal-de'an.s,  and  the  soothsay- 
ers. And  the  king  spake,  and 
said  to  the  wise  men  of  ^Bab'y- 
lon,  Whosoever  shall  read  this 
writing,  and  shew  me  the  in- 
terpretation thereof,  ^shall  be 
clothed  with  ^' ^scarlet,  and  have 
a  *chain  of  gold  about  his  neck, 
and  shall  be  the  third  ruler  in  the 
kingdom. 

8  Then  came  in  all  the  "king's 
wise  men:  but  they  could  not 
read  the  writing,  nor  make 
known  to  the  king  the  interpre- 
tation thereof. 

9  Then  was  king  "Bel-shaz'zar 
greatly  troubled,  and  his  ''coun- 
tenance was  changed  in  him,  and 
his  lords  were  ^astonied. 

10  Tf  Now  the  ''queen  by  rea- 
son of  the  words  of  the  king  and 
his  lords  came  into  the  banquet 


house:  and  ''•^the  queen  spake 
and  said,  O  king,  live  forever:  let 
not  thy  thoughts  trouble  thee,  nor 
let  thy  countenance  be  changed : 

1 1  There  is  a  ^man  in  thy  king- 
dom, in  whom  is  the  spirit  of 
the  holy  gods;  and  in  the  days 
of  thy  "father  light  and  under- 
standing and  ''•Visdom,  like  the 
wisdom  of  the  gods,  was  found 
in  him;  whom  the  king  Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  thy  father,  the  king, 
I  say,  thy  father,  made  master 
of  the 'magicians,  ^'^astrologers, 
^Chal-de'an.s,  and  soothsayers; 

12  Forasmuch  as  an  excel- 
lent spirit  and  knowledge,  and 
understanding,  interpreting  of 
dreams,  and  shewing  of  hard 
sentences,  and  dissolving  of 
doubts,  were  found  in  the  same 
''Dan'iel,  whom  the  king  named 
Bel-te-shS,z'zar:  now  ''^let  DSn'- 
iel  be  called,  and  he  will  shew 
the  interpretation. 

13  Then  was  'DSn'iel  brought 
in  before  the  "king.  And  the 
king  spake  and  said  unto  DS,n'- 
iel.  Art  thou  that  Dan'iel,  Avhich 
art  of  the  children  of  the  '"captiv- 
ity of  Ju'dah,  whom  the  king  my 
father  brought  out  of  Jew'ry  ? 

14  "I  have  even  heard  of  'thee, 
that  the  spirit  of  the  gods  is 
in  thee,  and  that  light  and  un- 
derstanding and  excellent  '^-^wis- 
dora  is  found  in  thee. 

15  And  now  the  wise  men,  the 
^•^astrologers,  have  been  brought 
in  before  me,  that  they  should 
read  this  writing,  and  make 
known  unto  me  the  interpreta-

shew  the  interpretation  of  the 
thing:

God  '■•*gave  "Neb-u-chad-nfiz'-

19  And  for  the  majesty  that 
'■'*he  gave  him,  all  ^people,  na-

and  feared  before  him:  "whom 
he  would  he  slew;  and  whom  he 
would  he  kept  alive;  and  whom 
he  would  he  set  up;  and  whom 
he  would  he  put  down. 

20  But  when  *'his  heart  was 
lifted  up,  and  his  mind  ""hard- 
ened in  pride,  he  was  ^deposed 
from  his  kingly  throne,  and  they 
took  his  glory  from  him: 

21  And  he  was  driven  from  the

2  And  over  these  three  presi- 
dents; of  whom  ''■^Dan'iel  was 
first:  that  the  ^princes  might 
give  accounts  unto  them,  and 
the  king  should  have  no  dam- 
age. 

3  Then  this  '*'*Dan'iel  was 
"•'preferred  above  the  presidents 
and  princes,  because  an  excel- 
lent spirit  was  in  him;  and  the 
king  thought  to  set  him  over  the 
whole  realm. 

4  \  Then  ^the  presidents  and 
'princes  ''''■•'•  ^sought  to  find  oc- 
casion against  ''Diln'iel  concern- 
ing the  kingdom;  but  they  could 
find  none  occasion  nor  fault;  for- 
asmuch as  he  teas  'faithful,  nei- 
ther was  there  any  error  or  fault 
found  in  him. 

5  Then  said  these  men,  We  shall 
not  find  any  occasion  against 
this  '^Dan'iel,  except  we  find  it 
against  him  concerning  the  laAv 
of  his  God. 

6  "'''"'Then  these  presidents  and 
'princes  assembled  togetlicr  to 
the  king,  and  said  thus  unto 
him,  "'King  Da-rl'us,  live  for 
ever. 

7  ^-''AU  the  presidents  of  the 
kingdom,  the  ^governors,  and 
the  princes,  the  counsellors,  and 
the  captains,  have  consulted  to- 
gether to  establish  a  royal  stat- 
ute, and  to  make  a  firm  de- 
cree, that  whosoever  shall  ask 
a  petition  of  any  God  or  man 
for  thirty  days,  "save  of  thee,  O 
king,  he  shall  be  cast  into  the 
den  of  "lions. 

8  Now,  O  king,  establish  the 
''decree,  and  sign  the  writing, 
'that  it  be  not  changed,  accord- 
ing to  the  law  of  the  Medes  and 
Per'sians,  which  altereth  not. 


9  Wherefore  king  "Da-rl'us 
''signed  the  writing  and  the  ''de- 
cree. 

10  ^  Now  when  '^Dan'iel  knew 
that  the  writing  was  signed,  he 
went  into  his  house;  and  his  win- 
dows being  open  in  his  chamber 
toward  *Jc-ru'sa-lem,  '.«.''.«'he 
•^kneeled  upon  his  knees  ^three 
times  a  day,  and  Sprayed,  and 
gave  '^thanks  before  his  God,  as 
he  did  aforetime. 

11  ''Then  these  men  assembled, 
and  found  '"Dan'iel  ''praying  and 
making  supplication  before  his 
God. 

12  ''•''Then  they  came  near,  and 
spake  before  the  king  concerning 
the  king's  ''decree;  Hast  thou  not 
signed  a  decree,  that  every  man 
that  shall  ask  a  petition,  of  any 
God  or  man  within  thirty  days, 
save  of  thee,  O  king,  shall  be 
cast  into  the  den  of  ''lions  ?  The 
king  answered  and  said.  The 
tiling  is  true,  according  to  the 
*law  of  the  Mede.s  and  Per'sians, 
which  altereth  not. 

13  ''■''Then  answered  they  and 
'said  before  the  king,  That 
'^Da.n'iel,  which  is  oi  the  children 
of  the  •'captivity  of  Jil'dah,  re- 
gardeth  not  thee,  O  king,  nor  the 
Mecree  that  thou  hast  signed, 
but  '^maketh  his  petition  three 
times   a   day. 

14  Then  the  king,  when  he 
heard  tlicse  words,  was  ^sore  dis- 
pleased with  himself,  and  set  liis 
heart  on  ''Dan'iel  to  deliver  him: 
and  he  laboured  till  the  going 
down  of  the  sun  to  deliver  him. 

15  ''■'^Then  these  men  assem- 
bled unto  the  king,  and  said  un- 
to the  king,  Know,  O  king,  that

*  CONSTITUTION.  It  was  provided  In  the  law  of 
Moses  that  In  the  event  of  the  establishment  of  a  monarchy 
a  copy  of  the  law  of  Moses  should  be  made,  and  that  the 
king  should  be  enjoined  to  study  this  law  all  the  days  of  his 
life  and  conform  his  administration  thereto,  Deut.  17:18-20. 
This  constituted  the  fundamental  law  and  had  Its  lllseness 
to  the  constitution  of  modern  g-overnments.  When  David 
was  orowncd  king  of  all  Israel  he  made  a  league  In  the  nature 
of  a  constitution  which  was  a  basis  of  good  understanding 
between  himself  and  the  people,   2   Sam.   5:3;   1   Chr.   1  !:.•). 


V/hen  Joash  was  enthroned  a  covenant,  which  must  have 
been  In  the  nature  of  a  limitation  of  monarchical  power,  was 
made  between  him  and  the  people,  2  Chr.  23:3,  11.  In  v.  11 
this  covenant  Is  called  a  "testimony'^  and,  no  doubt,  refers 
to  the  law  of  Moses,  Deut.  17:18-20,  which,  it  Is  quite  prob- 
able, had  been  preserved  sacredly  by  Jeholada,  the  priest. 
Zedekiah  made  a  covenant  with  the  people  proclaiming 
liberty,  Jer.  34:8-11.  That  the  king  of  the  Medes  and 
Persians  was  restricted  by  a  constitution,  which  "alteretli 
not,'^  Is  evident  from  Dan.  6:12-] 5.

16  Tlien  the  king  commanded, 
and  they  brought  ''Diin'iel,  and 
cast  him  into  the  den  of  "Hons. 
Noio  the  king  spake  and  '"said 
unto  Dan'iel,  Thy  God  whom 
thou  servest  continually,  "'he  will 
deliver  thee. 

17  And  a  stone  was  brought, 
and  laid  upon  the  mouth  of  the 
den;  and  the  king  ".sealed  it  with 
his  own  signet,  and  with  the  sig- 
net of  his  lords;  that  the  purpose 
might  not  be  changed  concern- 
ing '"Dan'iel. 

18  T[  Then  the  king  went  to  his 
"palace,  and  ^passed  the  night 
^fasting:  neither  were  instru- 
ments of  musick  brought  bef(n-e 
him:  and  ''his  sleep  went  from 
him. 

19  Then  the  king  ''arose  very 
early  in  the  morning,  and  went 
in  haste  unto  the  den  of  ''lions. 

20  And  when  he  came  to  the 
den,  lie  cried  with  a  lament- 
able voice  unto  ^Dan'iel:  and  the 
king  spake  and  said  to  Dan'iel, 
O  Dan'iel,  servant  of  the  living 
God,  is  thy  God,  whom  thou 
servest  continually,  able  to  *• 'de- 
liver thee  from  the  lions  ? 

21  Then  said  '^Da.n'iel  unto  the 
king,  C)  king,  live  for  ever. 

22  :\Iy  "( Jod  hath  sent  his  ''an- 
gel, and  hath  '"shut  the  Tions' 
mouths,  that  they  have  not  hurt 
me:  forasmuch  as  before  him 
^innocency  was  found  in  me; 
and  also  before  thee,  O  king, 
have   I   done  no  hurt. 

23  Then  was  the  king  exceeding 
glad  for  him,  and  commanded 
that  they  should  take  Dan'iel 
up  out  of  the  den.  So  Dan'iel 
was  taken  up  out  of  the  den,  and 
no  manner  of  hurt  was  found 


upon  him,  because  he  "'believed 
in  his  God. 

24  ^  And  the  king  commanded, 
and  they  brought  those  men 
which  had  accused  Dan'iel,  and 
they  ^'^east  them  into  the  den  of 
"lions,  them,  their  "cliildren,  and 
their  wives;  and  the  lions  had 
the  mastery  of  them,  and  brake 
all  their  bones  in  pieces  or  ever 
they  came  at  the  bottom  of  the 
den. 

25  T[  Then  king  '^Dfi-ri'us  wrote 
unto  all  ^people,  nations,  and 
languages,  that  dwell  in  all  the 
earth;  Peace  be  multiplied  unto 
you. 

2G  ^I  make  a  '^decree,  I'hat  in 
every  dominion  of  my  kingdom 
men  tremble  and  '^fear  before  the 
God  of  ''Dan'iel:  for  he  is  the 
living  God,  and  ''stedfast  ''for 
ever,  and  'his  kingdom  ihai 
which  shall  not  be  destroyed, 
and  his  tlominion  sliall  he  even 
unto  tlie  end. 

27  'He  delivereth  and  rescueth, 
and  he  worketh  signs  and  won- 
ders in  heaven  and  in  earth,  who 
hath  delivered  ''Dan'iel  from  the 
power  of  the  "lions. 

28  So  this  T)an'iel  prospered  in 
the  reign  of  '^Da-rl'us,  and  in  the 
reign  of  *'(,'y'rus  the  Per'.sian.

one  that  was  an- 
cient oJ  days 


up  from  the  sea,  diverse  one  from 
another. 

4  The  first  was  Hke  a  ''lion,  and 
had  "eagle's  wings:  I  beheld  till 
the  wings  thereof  wei'e  plucked, 
and  it  was  lifted  up  from  the 
earth,  and  made  stand  upon  the 
feet  as  a  man,  and  a  man's  heart 
was  given  to  it. 

5  And  behold  another  *beast,  a 
second,  like  to  a  ''bear,  and  it 
raised  up  itself  on  one  side,  and 
a  had  three  ribs  in  the  mouth  of 
it  between  the  teeth  of  it:  and 
they  said  thus  unto  it.  Arise,  de- 
vour much  flesh. 

6  After  this  I  beheld,  and  lo  an- 
other, like  a  ^leopard,  which  had 
upon  the  back  of  it  four  wings  of 
a  fowl;  the  beast  had  also  four 
heads;  and  dominion  was  given 
to  it. 

7  After  this  I  saw  in  the  night 
visions,  and  behold  a  fourth 
*beast,  dreadful  and  terrible,  and 
strong  exceedingly;  and  it  had 
great  iron  teeth:  it  devoured  and 
brake  in  pieces,  and  stamped 
the  residue  with  the  feet  of  it: 
and  it  was  diverse  from  all  the 
beasts  that  ivere  before  it;  and 
it  had  ten  ^horns. 

8  I  considered  the  %orns,  and, 
behold,  there  came  up  among 
them  another  little  horn,  before 
whom  there  were  three  of  the  first 
horns  plucked  up  by  the  roots: 
and,  behold,  in  this  horn  were 
eyes  like  the  eyes  of  man,  and  a 
mouth  speaking  great  things. 

9  ^Pbeheld  till  the  thrones  were 
^cast  down,  and  the  Ancient  of 
days  did  sit,  whose  garment  wa.'t 
^white  as  snow,  and  the  hair  of 
his  head  like  the  pure  wool:  his 
throne  was  like  the  fiery  flame, 
and  his  wheels  as  burning  fire. 

10  A  fiery  stream  issued  and 
came  forth  from  before  him :  thou- 
sand thousands  ministered  unto 
him,  and  ten  thousand  times  ten 
thousand  stood  before  him:  the 


judgment  was  set,  and  the  books 
were  opened. 

1 1  I  beheld  then  because  of  the 
voice  of  the  great  words  which 
the  horn  spake:  I  beheld  even 
till  the  *beast  was  slain,  and  his 
body  destroyed,  and  given  to  the 
burning  flame. 

12  As  concerning  the  rest  of  the 
beasts,  they  had  their  dominion 
taken  away:  yet  their  lives  were 
prolonged  for  a  season  and  time. 

13  I  saw  in  the  night  visions, 
and,  behold,  ^one  like  the  Son  of 
man  came  with  the  clouds  of 
heaven,  and  came  to  the  Ancient 
of  days,  and  they  brought  him 
near  before  him. 

14  And  there  was  given  'him 
'"dominion,  and  glory,  and  a 
"'"kingdom,  that  ^all  ^people, 
nations,  and  languages,  should 
serve  him :  his  dominion  r.y  an  ever- 
lasting dominion,  which  shall  not 
pass  away,  and  his  kingdom  thai 
which  shall  not  be  destroyed. 

15  Tf  I  ''D3n'iel  was  grieved  in 
my  spirit  in  the  midst  of  my 
body,  and  the  ^visions  of  my 
head  troubled  me. 

16  I  came  near  unto  one  of 
them  that  stood  by,  and  asked 
him  the  truth  of  all  this.  So  he 
told  me,  and  made  me  know  the 
interpretation  of  the  things. 

17  These  great  *beasts,  which 
are  four,  are  four  kings,  tvhich 
shall  arise  out  of  the  earth. 

IS  But  the  saints  of  the  most 
High  shall  take  the  "-"kingdom, 
and  possess  the  kingdom  forever, 
even  for  ever  and  ever. 

19  Then  I  would  know  the 
truth  of  the  fourth  *beast,  which 
was  diverse  from  all  the  others, 
exceeding  dreadful,  whose  teeth 
'\cere  of  *iron,  and  his  nails  of 
'^brass;  xvhich  devoured,  brake  in 
pieces,  and  stamped  the  residue

which  came  up,  and  before  whom 
three  fell;  even  of  that  horn  that 
had  eyes,  and  a  mouth  that  spake 
very  great  things,  whose  look  was 
more  stout  than  his  fellows. 

21 1  l)elield,  and  the  same  'horn 
made  war  with  the  saints,  and 
pievaileJ  against  them; 

22  Until  the  Ancient  of  days 
came,  and  judgment  Avas  given 
to  the  saints  of  the  most  High; 
and  the  time  came  that  the  saints 
possessed  the  "'"kingdom. 

23  Thus  he  said,  The  fourth 
*beast  shall  be  the  fourth  king- 
dom upon  earth,  which  shall  be 
diverse  from  all  kingdoms,  and 
shall  devour  the  whole  earth,  and 
shall  tread  it  down,  and  break  it 
in  pieces. 

24  And  the  ten  'horns  out  of 
this  kingdom  are  ten  kings  that 
shall  arise:  and  another  shall  rise 
after  them;  and  he  shall  be  di- 
verse from  the  first,  and  he  shall 
subdue  three  kings. 

25  And  he  shall  *speak  great 
words  against  the  hiiost  High, 
and  shall  wear  out  the  saints 
of  the  most  High,  and  think  to 
change  times  and  laws:  and  they 
.shall  be  given  into  his  hand  until 
a  "time  and  times  and  the  divid- 
ing of  time. 

2G  But  the  judgment  shall  sit, 
and  they  shall  take  away  his  do- 
minion, to  consume  and  to  de- 
stroy it  unto  the  end. 

27  And  the  •'■"•'^kingdom  and 
dominion,  and  the  greatness  of 
the  kingdom  under  the  whole 
iieaven,  shall  be  given  to  the  peo- 
ple of  the  saints  of  the  'most 
High,  who.se  kingdom  i?  an  ever- 
lasting kingdom,  and  all  domin- 
ions shall  serve  and  ^ol)ey  him. 

28  Hitherto  is  the  end  of  the 
matter.  As  for  me  "^Dan'iel,  my 
cogitations  much  troubled  me, 
and  my  countenance  changed 
in  me:  but  I  kept  the  matter  in

Rev.  10:6. 


N  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of 
king  "Bcl-shaz'zar  a  ''vision 
appeared    unto    me,   even   unto 
me  ''Dan'iel,  after  that  w4iich  ap- 
peared unto  me  at  the  first. 

2  And  I  saw  in  a  ''vision;  and  it 
came  to  pass,  when  I  saw^,  that  I 
was  at  '^Shi/shan  in  the  ^palace, 
which  is  in  the  province  of  ''E'- 
lam;  and  I  saw  in  a  vision,  and  I 
was  by  the  river  of  U'la-I. 

3  Then  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes, 
and  saw,  ant':  behold,  there  stood 
before  the  river  a  ^•''ram  which 
had  two  'horns:  and  the  two 
horns  tccre  high;  but  one  loas 
higher  than  the  other,  and  the 
higher  came  u]i  last. 

4 1  saw  the ''•'''ram  pushing  west- 
ward, and  northward,  and  south- 
ward; so  that  no  beasts  might 
stand  before  him,  neither  teas 
there  any  that  could  deliver  out 
of  his  hand;  but  he  did  accord- 
ins;  to  his  will,  and  ^''became 
great. 

5  And  as  I  was  considering, 
behold,  an  ''he  goat  came  from 
the  west  on  the  face  of  the 
whole  earth,  and  touched  not 
the  ground:  and  the  goat  had  a 
notable  'horn  between  his  eyes. 

6  And  he  came  to  the  "-"ram 
that  had  tn^o  'horns,  which  I  had 
seen  standing  before  the  river, 
and  ran  unto  him  in  the  fury  of 
his  power. 

7  And  1  saw  him  come  close  un- 
to the  ''-''ram,  and  he  was  moved 
with  choler  against  him,  and 
.smote  the  ram,  and  brake  his 
two  'horns:  and  there  was  no 
povver  in  the  ram  to  stand  before 
liim,  but  he  cast  him  down  to  the 
ground,  and  stamped  upon  hun: 
and  there  was  none  that  could 
deliver  the  ram  out  of  his  hand.

^•%axed  very  great:  and  when 
he  was  strong,  the  great  *horn 
was  broken;  and  for  it  came  up 
four  notable  ones  toward  the 
four  winds  of  heaven. 

9  And  out  of  one  of  them 
came  forth  a  little  %orn,  which 
waxed  exceeding  great,  toward 
the  south,  and  toward  the  east, 
and  toward  the  ^pleasant  land. 

10  And  it  waxed  great,  even  to 
the  host  of  heaven;  and  it  cast 
down  some  of  the  host  and  of  the 
stars  to  the  ground,  and  stamped 
upon  them. 

11  Yea,  %e  ^magnified  himself 
even  to  the  prince  of  the  host, 
and  ''by  him  the  ^'daily  sacrifice 
was  taken  away,  and  the  place  of 
his  ^sanctuary  was  cast  down. 

12  And  ^an  host  was  given  him 
against  the  ^daily  sacrifice  by  rea- 
.son  of  transgression,  and  it  cast 
down  the  '"truth  to  the  ground; 
and  it  ^practised,  and  prospered. 

13  ^  Then  I  heard  ^one  saint 
speaking,  and  another  ^saint  said 
unto  that  certain  saint  which 
spake.  How  long  shall  he  the  vi- 
sion concerning  the  ^'  ''^daily  sacri- 
fice,a,nd  the  transgression  of  deso- 
lation, to  give  both  tlie'sanctuary 
and  the  host  to  be  trodden  under 
foot  V 

14  And  he  said  unto  me.  Unto 
two  thousand  and  three  hundred 
"days;  then  shall  the  'sanctuary 
be  cleansed. 

15  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
I,  even  I  '^Dan'iel,  had  seen  the 
^vision,  and  sought  for  the  mean- 
ing, then,  behold,  there  stood  be- 
fore me  as  the  appearance  of  a 
man. 

16  And  I  heard  a  man's  voice 
between  ihe  banks  of  U'la-I, 
which  called,  and  said,  *Ga'- 
bri-el,  "make  this  man  to  under- 
stand the  ^vision. 

17  So  he  came  near  where  I 


stood:  and  when  he  came,  I  was 
afraid,  and  fell  upon  my  face: 
but  he  said  unto  me.  Under- 
stand, O  son  of  man:  for  ^"at  the 
time  of  the  end  shall  be  the 
vision. 

18  Now  as  he  was  speaking 
with  me,  I  was  in  a  deep  sleep  on 
my  face  toward  the  ground:  but 
he  touched  me,  and  .set  me  up- 
right. 

19  And  he  said.  Behold,  I  will 
"make  thee  know  what  shall  be 
in  the  last  end  of  the  indigna- 
tion: for  at  the  time  appointed 
the  end  shall  be. 

20  The  "•''ram  which  thou  saw- 
est  having  two  horns  are  the 
kings  of  ^j\Ie'dT-a  and  ^Per'.sia. 

21  And  the  rough  goat  is  the 
king  of  '■Gre'9ia:  and  the  great 
horn  that  is  between  his  eyes  is 
the  first  king. 

22  Now  that  being  broken, 
whereas  four  stooil  up  for  it, 
four  kingdoms  shall  stand  up 
out  of  the  nation,  but  not  in  his 
power. 

23  And  in  the  latter  time  of 
their  kingdom,  when  the  trans- 
gressors are  come  to  the  full,  a 
king  of  fierce  Vountenance,  and 
understanding  dark  sentences, 
shall  stand  up. 

24  And  his  power  shall  be 
mighty,  but  not  by  his  own 
power:  and  'he  shall  destroy 
wonderfully,  and  shall  prosj>er, 
and  ^^ practise,  and  shall  destroy 
the  mighty  and  the  holy  people. 

25  And  through  his  policy  also 
he  shall  cause  craft  to  prosper 
in  his  hand;  and  'he  shall  'mag- 
nify himself  in  his  heart,  and 
'^by  peace  shall  destroy  many: 
he  shall  also  stand  up  against 
the  Prince  of  princes;  but  he 
shall  be  broken  without  hand.

2  In  the  first  year  of  his  reign  I 
'Dan'icl  understood  l^y  "books 
the  number  of  the  years,  whei'eof 
the  ''word  of  the  Lord  came 
to  *Jer-e-mT'aii  the  ^prophet,  that 
he  would  accomplish  ^seventy 
vears  in  the  desolations  of  'Je- 
rii'.sa-lem. 

3  ^  And  I  set  my  face  unto  the 
Lord  God,  to  seek  by  "'•"•  "prayer 
and  supplications,  with  ^fastuig, 
and  'sackcloth,  and  ''ashes: 

4  And  I  "'•"•"prayed  unto  the 
Lord  my  God,  and  made  my 
'confe&sion,  and  said,  O  Lord,  the 
great  and  dreadful  God,  'keep- 
ing the  covenant  and  "mercy 
to  them  that  ^love  him,  and  to 
them  that  "'keep  his  command- 
ments; 

5  *'^We  have  sinned,  and  have 
committed  inicpiity,  and  have 
done  wickedly,  and  have  re- 
belled, even  by  departing  from 
thy  precepts  and  from  thy  judg- 
ments: 

6  *•  ^Neither  have  we  hearkened 
unto  thy  servants  the  ^prophets, 
which  spake  in  thy  name  to  our 
kings,  our  princes,  and  our  fa- 
thers, and  to  all  the  people  of  the 
land. 

7  O  Lord,  ^righteousness  he- 
lotifjeth  unto  thee,  but  *'^unto  us

8  '^O  Lord,  tu  us  belongeth  con-

11  Yea,  all  Is'ra-el  have  ''trans- 
gressed thy  "^law,  even  by  *depart-

words,  which  he  spake  against 
us,  and  against  our  "judges  that 
judged  us,  by  '-"bringing  U{)()n

15  And  now,  O  Lord  our  God, 
that  hast  ''brought  thy  people 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  ""E'gypt 
with  a  mighty  hand,  and  hast 
gotten  thee  renown,  as  at  this 
day;  Ve  have  sinned,  we  have 
done  wickedly. 

16  T[  O  Lord,  ^according  to 
all  thy  ''righteousness,  I  beseech 
thee,  '^let  thine  ^anger  and  thy 
fury  be  turned  away  from  thy  city 
^Je-ru'sa-lem,  thy  holy  mountain : 
because  for  our  sins,  and  "for  the 
iniquities  of  our  fathers,  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem  and  thy  people  are  he- 
come  a  reproach  to  all  that  are 
about  us. 

17  Now  therefore,  O  our  God, 
hear  the  *•''' 'Sprayer  of  thy  serv- 
ant, and  his  supplications,  and 
cause  thy  face  to  shine  upon  thy 
^sanctuary  that  is  desolate,  for 
the   Lord's  sake. 

18  ^•'^•'^O  my  God,  incline  thine 
ear,  and  hear;  open  thine  eyes, 
and  behold  our  desolations,  and 
the  city  which  is  called  by  thy 
name:  for  we  do  not  present 
our  supplications  before  thee  for 
our  'righteousnesses,  but  "for  thy 
great  ''mercies. 

19  ''■''•''O  Lord,  hear;  O  Lord, 
'forgive;  O  Lord,  hearken  and 
do;  defer  not,  "for  thine  own 
sake,  O  my  God:  "for  thy  city 
and  thy  people  are  called  by  thy 
name.

ing, and  *''^' 'Spraying,  and  'con- 
fessing my  sin  and  the  sin  of  my 
people  Is'ra-el,  and  presenting 
my  supplication  before  the  Lord 
my  God  for  the  holy  mountain 
of  my  God; 

21  Yea,  whiles  I  was  speaking 
in*"''''*prayer,even  the  man  *Ga'- 
bri-el,  whom  I  had  seen  in  the 
'vision  at  the  beginning,  being 
caused  to  fly  swiftly,  touched  me 
about  the  time  of  the  evening

22  And  %e  "'"informed  me, 
and  talked  with  me,  and  said,  O 
^Dan'iel,  I  am  now  come  forth 
to  give  thee  skill  and  ^under-

23  At  the  beginning  of  thy 
supplications  the  commandment 
came  forth,  and  ''^I  am  come  to 
"shew  thee;  for  thou  art  greatly 
beloved :  therefore  understand

ness, and  "to  seal  up  the  vision

CHAPTER  10 

Daniel's  fasting  and  humiliation.  4  He 
sees  a  vision.  10  Being  troubled  he  is 
comforted  and  strengthened  by  an  angel. 

IN  the  third  year  of  "Cy'rus 
king  of  "Per'sia  a  thing  was 
revealed  unto  ''Dan'iel,  whose 
name  was  called  Bel-te-shaz'zar; 
and  the  thing  loas  true,  'but  the 
time  appointed  was  long:  and  he 
understood  the  thing,  and  had 
understanding  of  the  '^vision. 

2  In  those  days  I  ''Dan'iel  was 
"mourning  three  full  wrecks. 

3  I  ''"ate  no  pleasant  bread, 
neither  came  flle.sh  nor  *wine  in 
my  mouth,  neither  did  I  anoint 
my.self  at  all,  till  three  whole 
weeks    were   fulfilled. 

4  And  in  the  four  and  twentieth 
day  of  the  first  *month,  as  I  was 
by  the  side  of  the  great  river, 
which  is  'Hid'de-kel; 


5  Then  T  lifted  up  mine  eyes, 
and  looked,  and  '^behold  a  cer- 
tain man  clothed  in  ^linen,  whose 
loins  were  girded  with  ^fine  ^gold 
of  "'U'phaz: 

6  His  body  also  was  like  the 
"beryl,  and  his  face  as  the  ap- 
pearance of  "lightning,  and  his 
eyes  as  lamps  of  fire,  and  his 
arms  and  his  feet  like  in  colour 
to  ])olished  '^brass,  and  the  voice 
of  his  words  like  the  voice  of  a 
multitude. 

7  And  I  '^Dan'icl  alone  saw  the 
'^'ision:  for  the  men  that  were 
with  me  saw  not  the  vision;  but  a 
great  quaking  fell  upon  them,  so 
that  they  fled  to  hide  themselves. 

8  Therefore  "^I  was  left  alone, 
and  saw  this  great  ''vision,  and 
there  remained  no  strength  in 
me:  for  my  comeliness  was 
turned  in  me  into  corruption, 
and  I   retained  no  strength. 

9  Yet  heard  '^I  the  voice  of  his 
words:  and  when  I  heard  the 
voice  of  his  words,  then  was  I  in 
a  deep  sleep  on  my  face,  and  my 
face  toward  the  ground. 

10  \  And,  behold,  an  hand 
touched  me,  which  set  me  upon 
my  knees  and  upon  the  palms  of 
my  hands. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  O 
'^Dan'iel,  a  man  greatly  beloved, 
understand  the  words  that  I 
speak  unto  thee,  and  stand  up- 
right: for  ^unto  thee  am  I  noAv 
sent.  And  when  he  had  spoken 
this  word  unto  me,  I  stood  trem- 
bling. 

12  Then  .said  he  unto  me.  Fear 
not,  '^Dan'iel:  for  from  the  first 
day  that  thou  didst  set  thine  heart 
to  understand,  and  to  ''chasten 
thyself  before  thy  God,  'thy  words 
were  heard,  and  I  am  come  for 
thy  words.

13  But  the  prince  of  the  king- 
dom of  *Per'.sia  withstood  me 
one  and  twenty  days:  but,  lo, 
*Mfchael,  one  of  the  chief 
princes,  came  to  help  me;  and  I 
remained  there  with  the  kings 
of  Per'sia. 

14  Now  I  am  come  *to  make 
diee  understand  what  shall  be- 
fall thy  'people  in  the  latter  days: 
for  yet  the  "^vision  is  for  many 
days. 

15  x\nd  when  he  had  spoken 
such  words  unto  me,  I  set  my 
face  toward  the  ground,  and  I 
became  dumb. 

16  And,  behold,  one  like  the 
similitude  of  the  sons  of  men 
touched  my  lips:  then  I  opened 
my  mouth,  and  spake,  and  said 
unto  him  that  stood  before  me, 

0  my  lord,  by  the  ''vision  my 
sorrows  are  turned  upon  me,  and 

1  have  retained  no  strength. 

17  For  how  can  the  servant  of 
this  my  lord  talk  with  this  my 
lord  ?  for  as  for  me,  straightway 
there  remained  no  strength  in 
me,  neither  is  there  breath  left  in 
me. 

18  Then  there  came  again  and 
touched  me  one  like  the  appear- 
ance of  a  man,  and  he  strength- 
ened me, 

19  And  said,  O  man  greatly  be- 
loved, fear  not:  peace  be  unto 
thee,  be  strong,  yea,  be  strong. 
And  when  he  had  spoken  unto 
me,  I  was  strengthened,  and  said, 
Let  my  lord  speak;  for  thou  hast 
strengthened  me. 

20  Then  said  he,  Knowest  thou 
wherefore  I  come  unto  thee  ?  and 
now  will  I  return  to  fight  with 
the  prince  of  Ter'sia:  and  when 
I  am  gone  forth,  lo,  the  prince  of 
"Gre'9ia  shall  come. 

21  But  I  will  shew  thee  that 
which  is  noted  in  the  scripture  of 
truth:    and    there   is   none    that 


holdeth  with  me  in  these  things, 
but  *Mi'chael  your  prince.

of  the  south  and  of  the  north.  21  The 
rise  of  a  vile  person  to  poioer.  30  His 
impious  conduct.     40  His  fall. 

ALSO  I  in  the  first  year  of  °Da- 
ri'us  the  *]Mede,  even  I,  stood 
to  confirm  and  to  strengthen  him. 

2  And  now  will  I  shew  thee  the 
truth.  Behold,  there  shall  stand 
up  yet  three  kings  in  '^Per'gia; 
and  the  fourth  shall  be  far  richer 
than  they  all:  and  by  his  strength 
through  his  riches  he  shall  stir  up 
all  against  the  realm  of  *'Gre'9ia. 

3  And  a  mighty  king  shall  stand 
up,  that  shall  rule  with  great  do- 
minion, and  do  according  to  his 
will. 

4  And  when  he  shall  stand  up, 
his  kingdom  shall  be  broken, 
and  shall  be  divided  toward  the 
four  winds  of  heaven;  and  not 
to  his  posterity,  nor  according 
to  his  dominion  which  he  ruled: 
for  his  kingdom  shall  be  plucked 
up,  even  for  others  beside  those. 

5  ^  And  the  king  of  the  south 
shall  be  strong,  and  one  of  his 
princes;  and  he  shall  be  strong 
above  him,  and  have  dominion; 
his  dominion  shall  be  a  great  do- 
minion. 

6  And  in  the  end  of  years  they 
shall  join  themselves  together;  for 
the  king's  ''daughter  of  the  south 
shall  come  to  the  king  of  the  north 
to  make  an  agreement:  but  she 
shall  not  retain  the  power  of  the 
arm;  neither  shall  he  stand,  nor 
his  arm:  but  she  shall  be  given 
up,  and  they  that  brought  her, 
and  he  that  begat  her,  and  he 
that  strengthened  her  in  these 
times. 

7  But  out  of  a  branch  of  her 
roots  shall  one  stand  up  in  his 
^estate,  which  shall  come  with  an

army,  and  shall  enter  into  the 
fortress  of  the  king  of  the  north, 
and  shall  deal  against  them,  and 
shall  prevail: 

8  And  ^shall  also  carry  captives 
into/E'gypt  their ''gods,  with  their 
princes,  and  with  their  precious 
vessels  of ''silver  and  of  ^gold;  and 
he  shall  continue  more  years  than 
the  king  of  the  north. 

9  ^So  the  king  of  the  south  shall 
come  into  his  kingdom,  and  shall 
return  into  his  own  land. 

10  But  his  sons  shall  *be  stirred 
uj),  and  shall  as.semble  a  multi- 
tude of  great  forces:  and  one  shall 
certainly  come,  and  overflow,  and 
pass  through:  then  shall  he  re- 
turn, and  *be  stiiTed  up,  even  to 
his  fortress. 

11  And  the  king  of  the  south 
shall  be  moved  with  choler,  and 
shall  come  forth  and  fight  with 
him,  even  with  the  king  of  the 
north:  and  he  shall  set  forth  a 
great  multitude;  but  the  multi- 
tude shall  be  given  into  his  hand. 

12  And  hvhen  he  hath  taken 
away  the  multitude,  his  heart 
shall  be  lifted  up;  and  he  shall 
cast  down  many  ten  thousands: 
but  he  shall  not  "be  strengthened 
by  it. 

13  For  the  king  of  the  north 
shall  return,  and  shall  set  forth  a 
multitude  greater  than  the  for- 
mer, and  ^shall  certainly  come 
after  certain  years  with  a  great 
army  and  with  much  riches. 

14  And  in  those  times  there 
shall  many  stand  up  against  the 
king  of  the  south:  also  the  '^rob- 
bers  of  thy  people  shall  exalt 
them.selves  to  establish  the  vi- 
sion; but  they  shall  fall. 

15  So  the  king  of  the  north  shall 
come,  and  cast  up  a  'mount,  and 
take  the  most  ^fenced  cities:  and 
the  arms  of  the  south  shall  not 
withstand,  neither  his  chosen  peo- 
ple, neither  shall  there  be  any 
strength  to  withstand. 


IG  But  he  that  cometh  against 
him  shall  do  according  to  his 
own  will,  and  none  shall  stand 
before  him:  and  he  shall  stand  in 
the  glorious  land,  "which  by  his 
hand  shall  be  consumed. 

17  He  shall  also  set  his  face  to 
enter  with  the  strength  of  his 
whole  kingdom,  and  upright 
ones  with  him;  thus  shall  he  do: 
and  he  shall  give  him  the  daugh- 
ter of  women,  corrupting  her: 
but  she  shall  not  stand  on  his 
side,  neither  be  for  him. 

18  After  this  shall  he  turn  his 
face  unto  the  isles,  and  shall  take 
many:  but  a  prince  "^for  his  own 
behalf  shall  cause  the  reproach 
offered  by  him  to  cease;  without 
his  own  reproach  he  shall  cause 
it  to  turn  upon  him. 

19  Then  he  shall  turn  his  face 
toward  the  'fort  of  his  own  land: 
but  he  shall  stumble  and  fall, 
and  not  be  found. 

20  Then  shall  stand  up  in  his 
'estate  a  h'aiser  of  taxes  in  the 
glory  of  the  kingdom:  but  within 
few  days  he  shall  be  destroyed, 
neither  in  anger,  nor  in  battle. 

21  And  in  his  'estate  shall  stand 
up  a  vile  person,  to  whom  they 
shall  not  give  the  honour  of  the 
kingdom:  but  he  shall  come  "in 
peaceably,  and  obtain  the  king- 
dom by  '"flatteries. 

22  And  with  the  arms  of  a  flood 
shall  they  be  '^overflown  from 
before  him,  and  shall  be  broken; 
yea,  also  the  prince  of  the  cove- 
nant. 

23  And  after  the  league  made 
with  him  he  shall  work  deceit- 
fully: for  he  shall  come  up,  and 
sliall  become  strong  with  a  small 
people. 

24  '^Ile  shall  enter  peaceably 
even  u|M)n  the  fattest  places  of

that  which  his  fathers  have  not

25  And  he  shall  stir  up  his 
power  and  his  courage  against 
the  king  of  the  south  with  a  great 
army;  and  the  king  of  the  south 
shall  be  stirred  up  to  battle  with

shall  ^^forecast  devices  against

portion  of  his  meat  shall  "de- 
stroy him,  and  his  army  shall 
overflow:  and  many  shall  fall

27  And  both  these  "kings' 
hearts  shall  be  to  do  mischief, 
and  they  shall  speak  ^^lies  at  one

for  yet  the  end  shall  be  at  the 
time  appointed. 

2S  Then  shall  he  return  into  his 
land  with  great  'riches;  and  his 
heart  shall  be  against  the  holy 
covenant;  and  he  shall  do  ^^ex- 
ploits,  and  return  to  his  own 
land. 

29  At  the  time  appointed  he 
shall  return,  and  come  toward 
the  south;  but  it  shall  not  be  as 
the  former,  or  as  the  latter. 

30  For  the  ''ships  of  *Chit'tim 
shall  come  against  him:  there- 
fore he  shall  be  grieved,  and 
return,  and  have  indignation 
against  the  holy  covenant:  so 
shall  he  do;  he  shall  even  return, 
and  have  ^^intelligence  with  them 
that  forsake  the  holy  covenant. 

31  And  arms  shall  stand  on  his 
part,  and  they  shall  ''pollute  the 
'sanctuary  of  strength,  and  shall 
take  away  the  "-"daily  sacrifice, 
and  they  shall  place  the  abomi- 
nation that  maketh  desolate. 

32  And  such  as  do  wickedly 
a£jainst  tlie  covenant  .shall  he  cor- 


rupt by  '"flatteries:  but  the  peo- 
ple that  do  ''know  their  God  shall 
be  strong,  and  do  exploits. 

33  And  they  that  understand 
among  the  people  shall  "'instruct 
many:  yet  they  shall  fall  by  the 
^sword,  and  by  flame,  by  ^cap- 
tivity, and  by  spoil,  many  days. 

34  Now  when  they  shall  fall, 
they  shall  be  holpen  with  a  little 
help:  but  many  shall  cleave  to 
them  with  flatteries. 

35  And  some  of  them  of  under- 
standing shall  fall,  to  try  them, 
and  to  purge,  and  to  make  them 
^white,  even  to  the  time  of  the 
end:  because  it  is  yet  for  a  time 
appointed. 

36  And  the  king  shall  do  ac- 
cording to  his  will;  and  he  shall 
exalt  himself,  and  magnify  him- 
self above  every  god,  and  shall 
''speak  marvellous  things  against 
the  God  of  gods,  and  shall  pros- 
per till  the  indignation  be  ac- 
complished: for  that  that  is  de- 
termined shall  be  done. 

37  Neither  shall  he  regard  the 
^^God  of  his  fathers,  nor  the  de- 
sire of  women,  nor  regard  any 
god:  for  he  shall  magnify  him- 
self above  all. 

38  But  in  his  '^estate  shall  he 
honour  the  ^'^God  of  forces:  and 
a  god  whom  his  fathers  knew  not 
shall  he  honour  with  gold,  and 
silver,  and  with  precious  stones, 
and  pleasant  things, 

39  ^^Thus  shall  he  do  in  the 
most  strong  holds  with  a  strange 
god,  whom  he  shall  acknowledge 
and  increase  with  glory:  and  he 
shall  cause  them  to  rule  over 
many,  and  shall  divide  the  land 
for  gain. 

40  And  at  the  time  of  the  end 
shall  the  king  of  the  south  push

chael  stand  up,  the  great 
prince  which  standeth  for  the  chil- 
dren of  *thy  '^peo{)le:  and  there 
shall  be  a  time  of  trouble,  such 
as  never  was  since  there  was  a 
nation  even  to  that  same  time: 
and  at  that  time  ''■^thy  people 
shall  be  delivered,  every  one  that 
shall  be  found  written  in  the 
"book. 

2  And  many  of  them  that  ''slcej) 
in  the  dust  of  the  earth  .shall 
'awake,  ^■■'some  to  '^-'everlast-

4  But  thou,  O  '^Dan'iel,  .shut  up 
the  words,  and  seal  the  book, 
even  to  the  time  of  the  end :  many 
shall  run  to  and  fro,  and  *knowl-

5  Tf  Then  I  ^Dan'iel  looked, 
and,  behold,  there  stood  other 
two,  the  one  on  this  side  of  the 
bank  of  the  river,  and  the  other 
on  that  side  of  the  bank  of  the 
river. 

6  And  one  said  to  the  man 
clothed  in  Hinen,  which  loafi  up- 
on the  waters  of  the  river.  How 
long  shall  it  he  to  the  end  of  the.se 
wonders  ? 

7  And  I  heard  the  man  clothed 
in  'linen,  which  was  upon  the 
waters  of  the  river,  when  he  held 
up  his  right  hand  and  his  left 
hand  unto  heaven,  and  "sware 
by  him  that  liveth  for  ever  that 
it  sliall  he  for  a  ^time,  times,  and 
an  half;  and  when  Mie  shall  have 
accomplished  to  scatter  the  pow- 
er of  the  holy  people,  all  these 
tilings  shall  be  finished. 

8  And  I  heard,  but  I  under- 
stood not:  then  said  I,  O  my 
Lord,  what  shall  he  the  end  of 
these  things^ 

9  And  he  said.  Go  thy  way, 
"Dan'iel:  for  the  words  are  closed 
up  and  ""sealed  till  the  tinu;  of 
the  end. 

10  Many  shall  be  ^purified,  and

CHAPTER  1 

The  date  of  Hosea's  prophecy.  2  The 
prophet,  for  a  sign  to  the  people,  takes  an 
adulterous  wife.  4  Their  children.  10 
The  restoration  and  union  of  Judah  and 
Israel. 

THE  "word  of  the  Lord  that 
came  unto  *H6-se'a,  the  son 
of  Be-e'rl,  ia  the  days  of  *Uz-zl'- 
ah,  "^Jo'tham,  '^A'haz,  and  *Hez-e- 
ki'ah,  kings  of  ''Ju'dah,  and  in 
the  days  of  "  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son 
of  '^Jo'ash,  king  of  *Ls'ra-el. 

2  The  beginning  of  the  '^word  of 
the  Lord  by  *H6-se'a.  And  the 
Lord  said  to  Ho-se'a,  Go,  take 
unto  thee  a  'wife  of  *- 'whore- 
doms and  children  of  whore- 
doms: for  the  land  hath  com- 
mitted great  whoredom,  ^"depart- 
ing from  the  Lord. 

3  So  he  went  and  took  'Go'mer 
the  daughter  of  Dib'la-im ;  which 
conceived,  and  bare  him  a  son. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Call  his  "name  Jez're-el;  for  yet 
a  Httle  while,  and  "I  will  avenge 
the  blood  of  ^Jez're-el  upon  the 
house  of  *Je'hu,  and  will  cause 
to  cease  the  kingdom  of  the 
house  of  *I.s'ra-el. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  at 
that  day,  that  "I  will  break  the 
'^bow  of  *I.s'ra-eI  in  the  valley  of 
''Jez're-el. 

6  T[  And  she  conceived  again, 
and  bare  a  daughter.  And  ^God 
said  unto  him,  Call  her  "name 
Lo'-ru-ha'mah :  for  I  will  no 
more  have  mercy  upon  the  house 


of  *Is'ra-el;  ^but  I  will  utterly 
take  them  away. 

7  But  I  will  have  *mercy  upon 
the  house  of  'Ju'dah,  and  will 
'save  them  by  the  Lord  their 
God,  and  will  not  save  them  by 
bow,  nor  by  sword,  nor  by  bat- 
tle, by  horses,  nor  by  horsemen. 

8  ^  Now  when  she  had  weaned 
Lo'-rii-ha'mah,  she  conceived, 
and  bare  a  son. 

9  ^len  said  God,  Call  his 
"name  Lo'— 3,m'ml:  for  ye  are 
not  my  people,  and  I  will  not 
be  your  God. 

10  Yet  the  number  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  shall  be  as  the 
sand  of  the  sea,  which  cannot  be 
measured  nor  numbered ;  "and  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  that  in  the 
place  where  it  was  said  unto 
them.  Ye  are  not  my  people, 
there  it  shall  be  said  unto  them, 
"Ye  are  the  sons  of  the  living 
«'God. 

11  Then  shall  the  children  of 
'Ju'dah  and  the  children  of  *Is'- 
ra-el  be  gathered  together,  and 
appoint  themselves  one  head, 
and  they  shall  come  up  out  of  the 
land :  for  great  shall  be  the  day  of 
^Jez're-el.

therefore  put  away  her  ''whore- 
doms out  of  her  sight,  and  her 
adulteries  from  between  her 
breasts; 

3  Lest  I  strip  her  naked,  and 
set  her  as  in  the  day  that  she  was 
born,  and  make  her  as  a  wilder- 
ness, and  set  her  like  a  dry  land, 
and  slay  her  with  thirst. 

4  And  I  will  not  have  mercy 
upon  her  children;  for  they  be 
the  children  of  '^whoredoms. 

5  For  their  mother  hath  played 
the  harlot:  she  that  conceived 
them  hath  done  shamefully: 
for  she  said,  *I  will  go  after  my 
lovers,  that  give  vie  my  ''breaxl 
and  my  ''water,  my  ''wool  and  my 
'flax,  mine  ^oil  and  my  drink. 

6  T[  Therefore,  behold,  I  will 
hedge  up  thy  way  with  *thorns, 
and  make  a  wall,  that  she  shall 
not  find  her  paths. 

7  And  she  shall  follow  after  her 
lovers,  but  she  shall  not  over- 
take them;  and  she  shall  seek 
them,  but  shall  not  find  them: 
then  shall  she  say,  I  will  go  and 
return  to  my  first  husband;  for 
then  was  it  better  with  me  than 
now. 

8  For  she  did  ^not  know  that  '1 
"'gave  her  "corn,  and  "wine,  and 
'oil,  and  multiplied  her  ''silver 
and  ''gohl,  ^tvliirJi  they  ^prepared 
for  ^Ba'al. 

9  Therefore  will  I  return,  and 
'take  away  my  Vorn  in  the  time 
thereof,  anfl  my  "wine  in  the 
season  thereof,  and  will  recover 
my  ''wool  and  my  'flax  cjiven  to 
cover  her  nakedness. 

10  And  now  will  I  discover  her 
lewdness  in  the  siglit  of  her  lov- 
ers, and  none  sliall  deliver  her 
out  of  mine  hand. 


11  *!  will  also  cause  all  her 
mirth  to  cease,  her  "feast  days, 
her  "new  moons,  and  her  ""sab- 
baths,  and  all  her  solemn  feasts. 

12  And  I  will  'destroy  her  vines 
and  her  fig  trees,  whereof  she 
hath  said.  These  are  my  rewards 
that  my  lovers  have  given  me: 
and  I  will  make  them  a  forest, 
and  the  beasts  of  the  field  shall 
eat  them. 

13  And  I  will  'visit  upon  her  the 
days  of  *Ba'al-im,  wherein  she 
burned  ■'^incense  to  them,  and 
she  decked  herself  with  her  ear- 
rings and  her  jewels,  and  she 
went  after  her  lovers,  and  ''forgat 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  Tf  Therefore,  lx>hold,  n  will 
allure  her,  and  bring  her  into  the 
wilderness,  and  speak  comfort- 
ably unto  her. 

15  And  ^I  will  give  her  her 
vineyards  from  thence,  and  the 
valley  of  "A'chor  for  a  "door  of 
''hope:  and  she  shall  sing  there, 
as  in  the  days  of  her  youth,  and 
as  in  the  day  when  she  came  up 
out  of  the  land  of  ''E'gypt.

saith  the  Lord,  that,  thou  shalt 
call  me  I'shi;  and  shalt  call  me 
no  more  Ba'al-T. 

17  For  I  will  take  away  the 
names  of  Ba'al-im  out  of  her 
mouth,  and  they  shall  no  more 
be  remembered  by  their  name. 

IS  And  in  that  day  will  I  make 
a  covenant  for  them  with  the

CHAPTER  3 

The   desolation   and   restoration   of   Israel 
typified. 

THEN  said  the  Lord  unto  me, 
Go  yet,  love  a  woman  be- 
loved of  her  friend,  yet  an  '^adul- 
teress,  according  to  the  *love  of 
the  Lord  toward  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  Svho  ^■'^look  to  other 
gods,  and  love  flagons  of  wine. 

2  So  I  ''bought  "her  to  me  for 
fifteen  pieces  of  silver,  and  for  an 
^homer  of  ''barley,  and  an  half 
homer  of  barley: 

3  And  I  said  unto  her,  Thou 
shalt  abide  for  me  many  days; 
thou  shalt  not  play  the  harlot, 
and  thou  shalt  not  be  for  an- 
other man:  so  will  I  also  be  for 
thee. 

4  For  ^the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
shall  abide  many  days  without  a 
king,  and  without  a  prince,  and 
without  a  sacrifice,  and  without 
^an  image,andwithoutan*ephod, 
and  without  teraphim: 

5  Afterward  shall  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  ^return,  and  ^'^seek 
the  Lord  their  God,  and  "'Da'- 
vid  their  "king;  and  shall  "fear 
the  Lord  and  his  ^goodness  in 
the  latter  days.

HEAR  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
ye  '^children  of  Ls'ra-el: 
for  the  Lord  hath  a  controversy 
with  the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
because  there  is  *no  truth,  nor 
'^mercy,  '^nor  knowledge  of  God 
in  the  land. 

2  ^By  swearing,  and  ''lying,  and 
^killing,  and  ''"stealing,  and  com- 
mitting^adultery,  they  break  out, 
and  blood  toucheth  blood. 

3  ^Therefore  shall  the  land 
mourn,  and  every  one  that  dwell- 
eth  therein  shall  languish,  with 
the  beasts  of  the  field,  and  with 
the  fowls  of  heaven;  yea,  the 
fishes  of  the  sea  also  shall  be 
taken  away. 

4  Yet  let  no  man  strive,  nor  re- 
prove another:  for  °thy  people 
are  as  they  that  strive  with  the 
'priest. 

5  '^Therefore  shalt  thou  fall  in 
the  day,  and  the  ^prophet  also

ra-el;  and  give  ye  ear,  O  house 
of  the  ""king;  for  ''judgment  is  to- 
ward you,  because  ye  have  been 
a  ^snare  on  ''Miz'pah,  and  a  net 
spread  upon  "Ta'bor. 

2  And  the  revolters  are  pro- 
found to  make  slaughter,  though 
I  have  been  a  rebuker  of  them  all. 

3  I  know  E'phra.-im,  and  'Ts'- 
ra-el  is  *not  hid  from  me:  for 
now,  O  E'phrii-im,  thou  com- 
mittest  ^whoredom,  and  Ls'ra-el 
is  defiled. 

4  ^•^'They  will  not  frame  their 
doings  to  turn  unto  their  God: 
for  the  spirit  of  ^vhoredoms  is  in 
the  midst  of  them,  and  they  have 
'not  known  the  Lord. 

5  And  the  pride  of  Is'ra-el  doth 
testify  to  his  face:  therefore  shall 
"I.s'ra-el  and  E'phra-im  "'fall  in 
their  iniquity;  "Ju'dah  also  shall 
'"fall  with  them. 

6  They  shall  go  with  their  flocks 
and  with  their  herds  to  seek  the 
Lord;  but  "-^they  shall  ^not  find 
him;  ''he  hath  withdrawn  himself 
from  them. 

7  ''They  have  dealt  treacher- 
ously against  the  Lord:  for  they 
have  begotten  strange  children: 
"'now  shall  ^amonth devour  them 
with  their  portions. 

8  \  Blow  ye  the  cornet  in  ^(iib'-

were  like  them  that  remove  the 
^' "bound:  therefore  ^I  will  pour 
out  my  wrath  upon  them  like 
water. 

11  Lyphra-im  is  oppi'essed  and

wound,  then  ''•"went  E'phra-im 
to  the  '^As-syr'ian,  and  sent  to 
king  Ja'reb:  yet  could  he  not 
heal  you,  nor  cure  you  of  your 
wound. 

14  For  '^I  will  he  unto  ''E'phra- 
im  as  a  "lion,  and  as  a  young 
lion  to  the  house  of  Ju'dah:  I, 
even  I,  will  tear  and  go  away;  I 
will  take  away,  and  none  shall 
rescue  him. 

15  *I  will  go  and  return  to  my 
place,  ''till  they  ^acknowledge 
their  offence,  and  seek  my  face: 
'in  their  affliction  they  will  *seek 
me  ^early. 

CHAPTER  6 

An  exhortation  to  repentance.     4    The  in- 
stability and  wickedness  of  Israel. 

COME,  and  "-"let  us  return 
unto  the  Lord:  for  ''•''he 
hath  torn,  and  '^he  will  heal  us; 
''■''he  hath  smitten,  and  *he  will 
bind  us  up. 

2  After  two  days  will  he  revive 
us:  in  the  third  day  he  will  raise 
us  up,  and  we  shall  live  in  his 
sight. 

3  ''Then  shall  we  "know,  if  we 
follow  on  to  know  the  Lord:  his 
going  forth  is  prepared  as  the 
morning;  and  ''he  shall  come 
unto  us  as  the  Vain,  as  the  lat- 
ter ^and  former  rain  unto  the 
earth. 

4  T[  ?0  E'phra-im,  what  shall  I 
do  unto  thee  ?  ^O  Ju'dah,  what 
shall  I  do  unto  thee  ?  for  ^''your 
goodness  is  as  a  morning  cloud, 
and  as  the  early  '"-"dew  it  goeth 
away. 

5  Therefore  have  I  "hewed 
them  by  the  ^prophets;  I  have 
slain  them  by  the  words  of  my 
mouth:  and  thy  judgments  are 
as  the  light  that  goeth  forth. 


6  For  I  'desired  ^' 'mercy,  and 
not  'sacrifice;  and  the  'knowl- 
edge of  God  more  than  burnt 
"offerings. 

7  But  they  like  ^men  have  *"trans- 
gressed  the  covenant:  there  have 
they  dealt  treacherously  against 
me. 

8  Gil'e-ad  is  a  city  of  them  that 
work  iniquity,  and  is  polluted 
with  blood. 

9  And  as  troops  of  *robbers 
wait  for  a  man,  so  the  company 
of  ^priests  ''murder  in  the  way 
^by  consent:  for  they  commit 
lewdness. 

10  I  have  seen  an  horrible  thing 
in  the  house  of  Ls'ra-el:  there  is 
the  whoredom  of  E'phra-im,  Is'- 
ra-el  is  defiled. 

11  Also,  O  Ju'dah,  he  hath 
set  an  ^harvest  for  thee,  when 
I  ^returned  the  captivity  of  my 
people. 

CHAPTER  7 

Israel  rebuked  for  their  sins.     1 1  Sore  chas- 
tisement threatened. 

WHEN  I  would  have  healed 
Ls'ra-el,  then  the  iniquity 
of  "E'phrS-im  was  discovered, 
and  the  wickedness  of  ''Sa-ma'- 
ri-a:  for  they  commit  '^falsehood; 
and  the  thief  cometh  in,  and  the 
troop  of  '^robbers  spoileth  with- 
out. 

2  And  *they  consider  not  in 
their  hearts  that  ^I  remember  all 
their  wickedness:  now  "their  own 
tloings  have  beset  them  about; 
they  are  before  my  face. 

3  They  make  the  ''king  glad 
with  their  wickedness,  and  the 
princes  with  their  lies. 

4  They  are  all  ^adulterers,  %s

they  lie  in  wait:  their  baker  sleep- 
eth  all  the  niglit:  in  the  mornins: 
it  burneth  as  a  flaming  fire. 

7  They  are  all  hot  as  an  oven, 
and  have  devoured  their  judges; 
all  their  kings  are  fallen:  Hhere 
is  none  among  them  that  calleth 
unto  me. 

8  ^  "E'phra-im,  he  hath  mixed 
himself  among  the  ^people;  E'-

9  Strangers  have  devoured  his 
strength,  and  he  knoweth  it  not: 
yea,  gray  hairs  are  here  and  there 
upon  him,  yet  he  knoweth  not. 

10  And  the  ''pride  of  Ls'ra-el 
testifieth  to  his  face:  and  *'Hhey 
do  not  return  to  the  Lord  their 
God,  nor  seek  him  for  all  this. 

11  E'phra-im  also  is  like  a  silly 
dove  "without  heart:  they  *'call 
to  E'gypt,  they  go  to  x\s-syr'i-a. 

12  When  they  shall  go,  I  will 
spread  my  "'net  upon  them;  I  will 
bring  them  down  as  the  fowls

heard. 

13  ^Woe  unto  them!  for  they 
have  fled  from  me:  destruction 
unto  them!  because  they  have 
transgressed  against  me:  though

unto  me  with  their  heart,  *when

as.semble  themselves  for  corn  and

15  Though  I  have  ''bound  and 
strengthened  their  arms,  yet  do 
they  imagine  mischief  against  me. 

16  They  return,  but  not  to  ^the 
most  High:  they  are  like  a  deceit- 
ful bow:  their  princes  shall  '^fall

"because  they  have  transgressed 
my  covenant,  and  trespassed 
against   my    law. 

2  ''I§'ra-el  shall  cry  unto  me, 
My  God,  ''we  know  thee. 

3  '^Is'ra-el  hath  cast  off  the  thing 
that  is  good:  the  enemy  shall  pur- 
sue him. 

4  They  have  set  up  *kings,  but 
''not  by  me:  they  have  made 
princes,  and  T  knew  it  not:  of 
their  silver  and  their  gold  have 
tliey  made  them  "idols,  that  they 
may  be  ''cut  off. 

b\  I'^Thy  "-'calf,  O  ^Sa-ma'- 
ri-a,  hath  cast  thee  off;  mine  ^'an- 
ger is  kindled  against  them:  how 
long  will  it  he  ere  they  attain  to 
innocency? 

6  For  hoxn  Is'ra-el  was  it  also : 
''the  workman  made  it;  therefore 
it  is  not  God:  but  the  "'^calf  of 
'Sa-ma'ri-a  shall  be  broken  in

gather  them,  and  they  ''shall  sor-

CHAPTER  9 

The  distress  and  captivity  of  Israel,  jvr  their 
idolatry. 

REJOICE  not,  O  Is'ra-el,  for 
joy,  His  other  peojile:  for 
thou  hast  gone  a  whoring  from 
thy  God,  thou  hast  loved  %  re- 
ward   upon  every  cornfloor. 

2  "The  ''floor  and  tlie  '^wine- 
press shall  not  feed  them,  and 
the  new  wine  shall  fail  in  her. 

3  '^They  shall  not  dwell  in  the 
Lord's  '^land;  but  E'phra-im 
''shall  return  to  T^ygypt,  and  they 
shall  eat  unclean  tilings  in  "As- 
sy rl-a. 

4  "They  shall  not  offer  wine  of- 
ferings to  the  LoRD,neither  shall 
they  be  pleasing  unto  him:  ''their 
sacrifices  shall  be  unto  them  as 
the  bread  of  mourners;  all  that 
eat  thereof  shall  be  polluted:  for 
their  bread  ^for  their  soul  shall 
not  come  into  the  hous3  of  the 
Lord. 

5  What  will  ye  do  in  the  ^sol- 
emn  day,  and  in  the  day  of  the 
feast  of  the  Lord  ? 

6  For,  lo,  '^'Hhey  are  gone  ^be- 
cause   of    destruction:    ''E'gypt 


shall  gather  them  up,  Mem'phis 
shall  bury  them:  the  pleasant 
places  for  their  silver,  ^nettles 
shall  possess  them:  '^thorns  shall 
be  in  their  tabernacles. 

7  *The  days  of  visitation  are 
come,  tlie  days  of  recomjience 
are  come;  Is'ra-el  shall  know  it: 
tlie  'prophet  is  a  fool,  the  ^spir- 
itual man  is  mad,  for  the  multi- 
tude of  thine  iniquity,  and  tlie 
great  hatred. 

8 'The  watchman  of  E'phra- 
ira  teas  with  my  God:  but  the 
^pro])het  is  a  snare  of  a  fowler  in 
all  his  ways,  and  hatred  in  the 
house  of  his  God. 

9  They  have  deeply  coiTupted 
themselves,  as  in  the  days  of 
*Gib'e-ah:  therefore  he  will  '"re- 
member their  iniquity,  he  will 
''"visit   their  sins. 

10  "I  found  Is'ra-el  like  grapes 
in  the  wilderness;  I  saw  your  fa- 
thers as  the  firstrij^e  in  the  fig 
tree  at  her  first  time:  but  they 
''went  to  'Ba'al-pe'or,  and  ^sep- 
arated themselves  unto  that 
shame;  and  their  abominations 
were  according  as  ''they  loved. 

11  "^As  for  E'phra-Tm,  Hheir 
glory  shall  fly  away  like  a  bird, 
"from  the  birth,  and  from  the 
womb,  and  from  the  conception. 

12  '^''^'^Though  they  bring  up 
their  children,  yet  will  I  ^bereave 
them,  that  there  shall  not  be  a

is  planted  in  a  pleasant  place: 
buf-'^E'phra.-im  shall  bring  forth 
his  children  to  the  murderer.

wilt  thou  give  ?  give  them  a  "'mis-

CHAPTER  10 


Judgments  upon  Israel  threatened  for  their 
impiety  and  idolatry. 

IS'RA-EL  is  'an  empty  vine, 
"he  bringeth  forth  fruit  unto 
himself:  according  to  the  multi- 
tude of  his  fruit  he  hath  in- 
creased the  altars;  according  to 
the  goodness  of  his  land  *they 
have  made  goodly  ^images. 

2  '^•'^Their  ^heart  is  'divided; 
now  shall  they  be  found  faulty: 
''he  shall  break  down  their  al- 
tars, he  shall  spoil  their  im- 
ages. 

3  For  now  they  shall  say.  We 
have  no  king,  because  we  feared 
not  the  Lo]ii);  what  then  should 
a  king  do  to  us  ? 

4  They  have  spoken  words, 
^swearing  falsely  in  making  a 
covenant:  thus^judgment  spring- 
eth  up  as  hemlock  in  the  furrows 
of  the  field. 

5  The  inhabitants  of  'Sa-ma'- 
ri-a  shall  fear  because  of  the 
^calves  of  'Beth-a'ven:  for  the 
people  thereof  shall  mourn  over 
it,  and  the  "'priests  thereof  that 
rejoiced  on  it,  for  the  glory 
thereof,  because  it  is  departed 
from  it. 

6  It  shall  be  also  carried  unto

*  THISTLE,  Matt.  7:16.     A  noxious  plant.   Gen. 


Ja'reb:  E'phra-im  shall  receive 
shame,  and  I.s'ra-el  shall  be 
ashamed  of  his  own  counsel. 

7  As  for  Sa-ma'ri-a,  her  king 
is  cut  off  as  the  foam  upon  tlie 
water. 

8  "The  high  places  also  of  A'- 
ven,  the  sin  of  Is'ra-el,  shall  be 
destroyed:  the  thorn  and  the 
*thistle  shall  come  up  on  their 
altars;  and  ^-^they  shall  say  to 
the  mountains.  Cover  us;  and  to 
the  hills.  Fall  on  us, 

9  O  Is'ra-el,  thou  hast  sinned 
from  the  days  of  ''Gib'c-ah:  there 
they  stood:  ^the  battle  in  Gib'e- 
ah  against  the  children  of  iniq- 
uity did  not  overtake  them. 

10  It  is  in  my  desire  that  I 
should  ^chastise  them;  and  the 
people  shall  be  gathered  against 
them,  when  they  ^shall  bind  them- 
selves in  their  tAvo  furrows. 

11  And  E-phra-im  is  as  an 
'heifer  that  is  taught,  and  loveth 
to  "tread  out  the  corn;  but  I 
passed  over  upon  her  fair  neck:

edness:  in  a  morning  shall  the 
king  of  Ls'ra-el  utterly  be  ''cut 
off. 

CHAPTER  It 

God's  goodness  to  Israel,  and  their  ingrati- 
tude. 


w 


HEN  Ls'ra-el  was  a  child, 
then   I   "loved   him,  and 
"called  ''■'^my  son  out  of  "^E'gypt. 

2  As  they  called  them,  so  '•''they 
went  from  them:  they  sacrificed 
unto  ''Ba'al-im,  and  burned  in- 
cense to  graven  images. 

3  ^•'^l  taught  ^E'phra-im  also 
to  go,  'taking  them  by  their 
arras;  but  '"they  "knew  not  that 
I  healed  them. 

4  I  drew  them  with  "cords  of  a 
man,  with  bands  of  "love:  and  I 
was  to  them  as  they  that  take  oft' 
the  yoke  on  their  jaws,  and  '•  '^'I 
laid  meat  unto  them. 

5  T[  He  shall  not  return  into  the 
land  of  ''E'gypt,  but  the  ^As-syr'- 
i-an  shall  be  his  king,  because 
they  refused  to  return. 

6  And  the  ^^sword  shall  abide 
on  his  cities,  and  shall  consume 
his  "branches,  and  devour  them, 
because  of  their  own  counsels. 

7  And  my  people  are  *bent  to 
*backsliding  from  me:  though 
they  called  them  to  ^the  most 
High,  none  at  all  would  exalt  hva. 

8  '^•'How  shall  I  give  thee  up, 
Fyphra-im?  "-^how  shall  I  de- 
liver thee,  T,s'ra-el  ?  how  shall  I 
make  thee  as  ^'Ad'niah  ?  how 
shall  I  set  thee  as  ^Ze-bo'im  ? 
mine  heart  is  turned  within  me, 
my  ^repentings  are  kindled  to- 
gether. 

9  'I  will  not  execute  the  fierce- 
ness of  mine  "anger,  I  will  not 


return  to  destroy  E'phra-im:  for 
I  am  God,  and  not  man;  the 
'"•^Holy  One  in  the  midst  of 
thee:  and  I  will  not  enter  into 
the  city. 

10  They  shall  walk  after  the 
Lord:  he  shall  roar  Hke  a  lion: 
when  he  shall  roar.^then  the  chil- 
dren shall  treml)le  from  the  west. 

1 1  They  shall  ^'tremble  as  a  bird 
out  of  E'gypt,  and  as  a  dove  out 
of  the  land  of  As-syr'i-a:  and  I 
will  '/place  them  in  their  houses, 
saith  the  Lord. 

12  E'phra-im  compasseth  me 
about  with  lies,  and  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  with  deceit:  but  Jfi'dah 
yet  rulcth  with  God,  and  is  faith- 
ful with  the  ^saints. 

CHAPTER  12 

Ephraim  and  Judah  reproved  for  their  sins, 
and  exhorted  to  repentance. 

E~  'PHRA-IM  feedeth  on  wind, 
and  foUoweth  after  the  east 
wind:  he  daily  increaseth  lies  and 
desolation;  and  they  do  "make 
a  "covenant  with  the  '^As-syr'- 
i-an.s,  and  '^oil  is  carried  into 
'E'o^pt. 

2  The  Lord  hath  also  a  con- 
troversy with  'Ju'dah,  and  will 
^punish  '' Ja'cob  '^according  to  his 
ways;  ^according  to  his  doings 
will  he  "recompense  him. 

3  ^  Tie  took  his  brother  by  the 
heel  in  the  womb,  and  'by  his 
strength  he  had  power  with  God : 

4  Yea,  ^he  had  power  over  the 
angel,  and  prevailed:  he  wept, 
and  made  ^supplication  unto 
him:  he  found  him  in  'Beth'-el. 
and  there  he  spake  with  us; 

5  Even  the  Lord  God  of  hosts; 
the  Lord  is  his  memorial.

6  Tl  Thus  saith  the  Lord; For

was  like  the  height  of  the  cedars, 
and  he  toas  strong  as  the  oaks;

^forty  years  through  the  wilder-

13  Behold,  I  ''am  pressed  under

mountain  of  '"Sa-ma'ri-a,  which 
'^oppress  the  '^poor,  which  crush

days  shall  come  u])on  you,  that 
*he  will  'take  you  away  with

3  And  ye  shall  go  out  at  the 
breaches,  every  ^'^cow  at  that 
whirli  is  before  her;  and  ye  shall 
cast  "them  into  the  palace,  saith 
the  Lord. 

4  \  'Come  to  ^Beth'-el,  and 
transgress;  at  'Gil'gitl  multiply 
transgression;  and  bring  your 
sacrifices  every  morning,  and 
your  ^tithes  ^after  three  years: 

5  'And  offer  a  sacrifice  of

7  And  also  I  have  "withholden

10  ''I  have  .sent  among  you  the 
'pestilence  after  the  manner  of 
'E'gypt:  your  young  men  have  I 
slain  with  the  ^sword,  and  have 
taken  away  your  horses;  and  I 
have  made  the  stink  of  your 
camps  to  come  up  unto  your  nos- 
trils: *''yet  have  ye  "not  returned 
unto  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

11  ''I  have  overthrown  some  of 
you,  as  God  overthrew  'Sod'om 
and  "Go-mSr'rah,  and  ye  were 
as  a  firebrand  plucked  out  of 
the  burning:  "yet  have  ye  not  re- 
turned unto  me,  .saith  the  Lord. 

12  Therefore  thus  will  I  do  un- 
to thee,  O  Is'ra-el:  and  becau.se  I 
will  do  this  unto  thee,  "prej)arc 
to  meet  thy  God,  O  Is'i-a-el. 

13  For,  lo,  he  that  "formetli 
the  mountains,  and  createth  the 
wind,  and  ''declareth  unto  man 
what  ?.v  his  thought,  that  makcth

''treadeth  u|)on  the  high  places 
of  the  earth.  The  Lord,  The

CHAPTER  5 

A  lamentation  for  Israel.  4  An  exhorta- 
tion to  repentance.  21  God  rejects  their 
hypocritical  service. 

HEAR  ye  this  "word  which  I 
take  up  against  you,  even  a 
lamentation,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  "The  virgin  of  Ls'ra-el  is 
fallen;  she  shall  no  more  ri.se: 
she  is  forsaken  upon  her  land; 
thei-e  is  none  to  raise  her  up. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
The  city  that  went  out  hi/  a  thou- 
sand shall  leave  an  hundred,  an<l 
that  which  went  forth  by  an  hun- 
dred shall  leave  ten,  to  the  house 

j  of  Ls'ra-el. 

i   4  ^  For  thus  saith  the  I^ord 


unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
"••^•"Seek  ye  me,  and  *'^ye  "shall 
live: 

5  But  ^seek  not  ^Beth'-el,  nor 
enter  into  'Gil'gill,  and  pass  not 
to  ^Be'er-she'ba:  forGil'galshall 
surely  go  into  'captivity,  and 
Bcth'-el  shall  come  to  nought. 

6  "•''•"Seek  the  Lord,  and  ye 
shall  live;  lest  he  break  out  like 
fire  in  the  house  of  Jd'seph,  and 
devour  it,  and  there  be  none  to 
([uench  it  in  Beth'-el. 

7  '"Ye  who  "turn  judgment  to 
wormwood,  and  Ueave  off  right- 
eousness in  the  earth, 

8  "-'■''Seeh  him  that  "•^maketh 
the  ^■'''■•*seven  'stars  and  ''O-ri'- 
on,  and  turneth  the  shadow  of 
death  into  the  morning,  and 
makcth  the  day  dark  with  night: 
that  calleth  for  the  waters  of  the 
.sea,  and  poureth  them  out  upon 
the  face  of  the  earth:  ^The  Lord 
is  his  name: 

9  That  ^strengtheneth  the 
spoiled  against  the  strong,  so  that 
the  spoiled  shall  come  against 
tlie  fortress. 

10  "They  ^late  him  that  rc- 
buketh  in  the  gate,  and  "they 
abhor  him  that  speaketh  u])- 
rightly. 

11  Forasmuch 
"your  ^treading 
''poor,  and  ye  ^take  from 
burdens  of  wheat:  ye  have  built 
hou.ses  of  hewn  stone,  but  "yc 
shall  not  dwell  in  them;  ye  have 
planted  pleasant  ''vineyards,  but 
''ye  shall  not  drink  wine  of  them. 

12  For  ''I  ''know  your  manifold 
tran.sgressions  and  your  mighty 
sins:  they  afflict  the  just,  they 
take  a  "bribe,  and  they  turn  aside 
the  'poor  in  the  gate  from  their 
right. 

13  Therefore  the  "prudent  shall 
keep  silence  in  that  tune;  for  it  is 
an  evil  time.

''that  ye  may  live:  and  so  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  shall  be 
with  you,  as  ye  have  spoken. 

15  'Hate  the  evil,  and  love  the

16  "Therefore  the  Lord,  the

thus;  ^''Wailing  shall  be  in  all

the  highways,  Alas!  alas!  and

CHAPTER  7 

Judgments  upon  Israel  symbolized  by  grass- 
hoppers, 4  by  fire.  7  and  by  a  plumb  line. 
10  Amaziah  complains  of  Amos  to  the 
king.  14  His  defence.  16  Amaziah's 
doom  foretold. 

THUS  hath  the  Lord  God 
''shewed  unto  ''me;  and,  be- 
hold, %e  formed  '^grasshoppers 
m  the  beginning  of  the  shooting 
up  of  the  latter  growth ;  and,  lo, 


it  was  the  latter  growth  after  the 
king's  '^mowings. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  they  had  made  an  end  of 
eating  the  grass  of  the  land,  then 
''I  ''said,  O  Lord  God,  forgive, 
I  beseech  thee:  ^by  whom  shall 
Ja'cob  arise  ?  for  he  is  small. 

3  The  Lord  ''-^repented  for 
this:  Tt  shall  not  be,  saith  the 
Lord. 

4  ^  Thus  hath  the  Lord  God 
"shewed  unto  me:  and,  behold, 
'^the  Lord  God  called  to  contend 
by  fire,  and  it  devoured  the  great 
deep,  and  ^did  eat  up  a  part. 

5  Then  ''said  I,  O  Lord  God, 
cease,  I  beseech  thee:  ^by  whom 
shall  Ja'cob  arise  ?  for  he  is 
small. 

6  The  Lord  ''h-epented  for 
this:  'This  also  shall  not  be,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

7  If  Thus  he  '^shewed  me:  and, 
behold,  the  Lord  stood  upon  a 
wall  mode  l)y  a  ^plumbiine,  with 
a  plumbline  in  his  hand. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
*A'mos,  what  ''seest  thou  ?  And 
I  said,  A  ''plumbline.  Then  .said 
the  Ivord,  Behold,  I  will  set  a 
plumbline  in  the  midst  of  my 
people  Ls'ra-el:  I  will  ncjt  again 
pass  by  'them  any  more: 

9  And  the  high  places  of  I'.saac 
shall  l)e  desolate,  and  the  sanc- 
tuaries of  Is'ra-el  shall  be  laid 
waste ;  and  I  will  rise  against  the 
house  of  "'Jer-o-bo'am  with  the 
sword. 

10  Tf  Then  Am-a-zi'ah  the 
priest  of  Beth'-el  sent  to  '"  Jer-o- 
bo'am  king  of  Is'ra-el,  "'"saying, 
^A'mos  hath  conspired  against 
thee  in  the  midst  of  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el:  the  land  is  not  able  to 
bear  all  his  words. 

11  For  thus  "A'mos  "-"saith, 
'"Jer-o-bo'am  shall  die  by  the

and  there  eat  bread,  and  proph- 
esy there: 

13  But  projihesy  not  again  any

the  king's  \"hapel,  and  it  is  the 
king's  court. 

14  T[  Then  answered  *A'mos, 
and  said  to  Am-a-zl'ah,  I  loas  no 
prophet,  neither  was  I  a  proph- 
et's son;  but  I  was  an  herdman, 
and  a  '^gatherer  of  ^sycomore

followed  the  flock,  and  the  Lord

sayest.  Prophesy  not  against 
Is'ra-el,  and  droji  not  thy  ivord 
against  the  house  of  T.saac. 

17  Therefore  '•''thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Thy  wife  shall  be  an

sons  and  thy  daughters  shall 
fall  by  the  sword,  and  thy  land

''them  any  more. 

3  And  ''the  songs  of  the  temple

saith  the  Lord  God:  Hhere  shall 


be  many  dead  bodies  in  every

may  set  forth  wheat,  'making  the

6  That  we  may  ''buy  the  ''poor 
for  "silver,  and  the  needy  for  a

7  The  Lord  hath  ^sworn  by 
the  excellency  of  Ja'cob,  Surely 
I  will  never  forget  any  of  their 
works. 

8  "'^Shall  not  the  land  tremble

CHAPTER  9 

The    certainty    of    Israel's    desolation.     11 
The  restorino  of  the  tabernacle  of  David. 

I  "SAW  the  I.,ord  standing  uj^on 
the  altar:  and  lie^said.  Smite 
the  'lintel  of  the  door,  that  the 
posts  may  shake:  and  cut  them 
in  the  head,  all  of  them;  and  I 
will  '^slay  the  last  of  them  witli 
the  sword:  -he  that  fleeth  of 
them  '^shall  not  flee  away,  and 
he  that  escapeth  of  them  ''shall 
not  be  delivered. 

2  Though  they  dig  into  *hell, 
'*•'■ ''thence  shall  mine  hand  take 
them;  though  they  climb  up  to 
heaven,  ''■^•"thence  will  I  bring 
them  down: 

3  And  though  they  hide  them- 
selves in  the  top  of  ''Car'mel,  I 
will  ''•''search  and  '^•'^take  them 
out  thence;  and  though  they  be 
hid  from  my  sight  in  the  bottom 
of  the  sea,  ^'"thence  will  J.  com- 
mand the  serpent,  and  ''he  shall 
'^bite  them: 

4  And  though  they  go  into 
^captivity  before  their  enemies, 
^•"thence  will  I  command  the 
^sword,  and  '^•''it  shall  slay  them: 
and  I  will  set  mine  eyes  upon 
them  for  evil,  and  not  for  good. 

5  And  the  ^'Lord  God  of  hosts 
?'.?  he  that  toucheth  the  land,  and 
it  shall  melt,  and  all  that  dwell 
therein  shall  mourn:  and  it  shall 
rise  up  wholly  like  %  flood;  and 
shall  ^be  drowned,  as  by  the  flood 
of  'E'gypt. 

I   6  It  is  H\e  that  '"buildeth  his 


^stories  in  the  heaven,  and  hath 
founded  his  ^troop  in  the  earth; 
he  that  calleth  for  the  waters  of 
the  sea,  and  "'"poureth  them  out 
upon  the  face  of  the  earth:  The 
Lord  is  his  name. 

7  Are  ye  not  as  children  of  the 
"E-tliT-d'pi-ans  unto  me,  O  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  ?  saith  the  Lord. 
Have  not  I  *  brought  up  Ts'ra-el 
out  of  the  land  of  'E'gypt  ?  and 
tiie  ■^Phi-iis'tines  from  'Caph'tor, 
and  the  "Syr'i-ans  from  '^Kir? 

8  Behold,  the  "'-^eyes  of  the 
Lord  God  are  upon  the  sinful 
kingdom,  and  ^I  will  destroy  it 
from  off  the  face  of  the  earth; 
saving  that  ''I  will  not  utterly  de- 
stroy the  house  of  Ja'cob,  saith 
the  Lord. 

9  For,  lo,  I  will  command,  and 
"1  will  sift  the  hoase  of  Is'ra-el 
among  all  nations,  like  as  corn  is 
sifted  in  a  ''sieve,  yet  shall  not  the 
least  grain  fall  u]>on  the  earth. 

10  All  the  sinners  of  my  people 
shall  ''die  by  the  ''sword,  which 
'•"say.  The  evil  shall  not  over- 
take nor  prevent  us. 

1 1  T[  "-"In  that  day  will  I  rai.se  up 
tlie  tabernacle  of  Da'vid  that  is 
fallen,  and  close  up  the  breaches 
thereof;  and  I  will  raise  up  his 
ruins,  and  I  will  build  it  as  in 
the  days  of  old: 

12  That  they  may  possess  the 
remnant  of  '^E'dom,  and  of  all 
the  ^heathen,  which  are  called  by 
my  name,  saith  the  Lord  that 
doeth  this. 

13  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  ^  *^that  the  plowman 
shall  overtake  the  reaper,  and 
the  treader  of  grapes  him  that 
soweth  seed;  and  the  mountains 
shall  drop  sweet  wine,  and  all 
the  hills  shall  melt. 

14  And  'I  will  'bring  again  the 
captivity  of  my  people  of  Tsra- 
el,  and  ""they  shall  build  the 
waste  cities,  and  inhabit  them; 
and  they  shall  plant  vineyards,

2  ^  Behold,  I  have  made  ''thee

art  greatly  despised.

■i  ^  But  the  Lord  "sent  out  a 
great  ^wind  into  the  'sea,  and 
there  was  a  mighty  tempest  in 
the  sea,  so  that  the  ship  was  hke 
to  be  broken. 

5  Then  the  ''mariners  were 
afraid,  and  *cried  every  man  un- 
to his  god,  and  cast  forth  the 
wares  that  icere  in  the  '"ship  into 
the  sea,  to  hghten  it  of  them. 
But  *'''Jd'nah  was  gone  down 
into  the  sides  of  the  ship;  and  he 
lay,  and  was  fast  ask^ep. 

6  So  the  shi[)master  came  to 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  What 
meanest  thou,  O  sleeper?  arise, 
'■"call  upon  thy  God,  if  so  be  that 
God  will  think  upon  us,  that  we 
perish  not. 

7  And  they  said  every  one  to  his 
fellow,  Come,  and  let  us  cast 
'lots,  that  we  may  know  for 
whose  cause  this  evil  ?,9  upon  us. 
So  they  cast  lots,  and  the  lot  fell 
upon  *Jo'nah. 

8  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Tell 
us,  we  pray  thee,  for  whose  cause 
this  evil  is  upon  us;  What  is 
thine  occupation  ?  and  whence 
comest  thou  ?  what  is  thy  coun- 
try ?  and  of  what  people  art 
thou  ? 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  I  am 
an  '^He'brew;  and  I  ^fear  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  heaven,  which 
hath  ^made  the  ^.sea  and  the  dry 
land. 

10  Then  were  the  men  exceed- 
ingly afraid,  and  .said  unto  him, 
Why  hast  thou  done  this  ?  For 
the  men  knew  that  "he  ''fled  from 
the  ^presence  of  the  Lord,  be- 
cause he  had  told  them. 

11  Then  said  they  unto  him, 
What  shall  we  do  unto  thee,  that 
the  sea  may  be  calm  unto  us  ?  for 
the  sea  wrought,  and  was  tem- 
pestuous. 

12  And  he  said  unto  them, 
'^•'^Take  me  up,  and  cast  me  forth 
into  the  sea;  so  shall  the  sea  be 
calm  unto  you:  for  I  know  that 


for  my  sake  this  great  tempest  is 
upon  you. 

13  Nevertheless  the  men  rowed 
hard  to  bring  it  to  the  land; 
but  they  could  not:  for  the  sea 
wrought,  and  Avas  tempestuous 
against  them. 

14  Wherefore  they  ^' ''cried  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said,  We  beseech 
thee,  O  Lord,  we  beseech  thee, 
let  us  not  perish  for  this  man's 
life,  and  lay  not  upon  us  inno- 
cent blood:  for  thou,  O  I^ord, 
hast  done  as  it  pleased  thee. 

15  So  they  took  up*Jo'nah,and 
cast  him  forth  into  the  sea:  and 
''the  sea  ceased  from  her  raging. 

16  ''Then  the  men  H'eared  the 
Lord  exceedingly,  and  ^offered 
a  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord,  and 
made  '^vows. 

17  T[  Now  the  Lord  had  pre- 
pared a  great  'fish  to  swallow  up 
*''"Jo'nah.  And  Jo'nah  was  in 
the  belly  of  the  fish  three  days 
and  three  nights.

7  When  my  soul  fainted  within

^sackcloth,  and  sat  in  *ashes. 


7  And  he  caused  it  to  be  'pro- 
claimed and  published  through 
'^Nin'e-veh  by  the  decree  of  the 
king  and  his  nobles,  saying,  ^Let 
neither  man  nor  beast,  herd  nor 
flock,  taste  any  thing:  let  them 
not  feed,  nor  drink  water: 

8  But  let  man  and  beast  be  cov- 
ered with  'sackcloth,  and  "cry 
mightily  unto  God:  yea,  let  them 
"turn  every  one  from  his  evil 
way,  and  from  the  violence  that 
is  in  their  hands. 

9  Who  can  tell  if  God  Avill  turn 
and  repent,  and  turn  away  from 
his  fierce  "'anger,  that  we  perish 
not  ? 

10  And  God  saw  their  works, 
that  they  "turned  from  their  evil 
way;  and  God  ^repented  of  the 
evil,  that  he  had  said  that  he 
would  do  unto  them;  and  %e 
did  it  not.

*angry. 

2  And  he  "Sprayed  unto  the 
Lord,  and  '^said,  I  pray  thee,  O 
Lord,  was  not  this  my  saying, 
when  I  was  yet  in  my  country  ? 
Therefore  I  fled  before  unto 
''Tar'shish:  for  I  knew  that  thou 
art  a  gracious  God,  and  'merci- 
ful, "slow  to  anger,  and  of  grent 
kindness,  and  repentest  thee  of 
the  evil. 

3  Therefore  now,  O  Lord, 
''take,  I  beseech  thee,  my  life 
from  me;  for  ^'Ht  is  better  for  me 
to  die  than  to  live.

the  city,  and  there  made  him  a

shadow,  till  he  might  see  what 
would  become  of  the  city. 

6  And  the  Lord  God  /■ 'pre- 
pared a  '"'"gourd,  and  made  it  to 
come  up  over  "Jo'nah,  that  it 
might  be  a  shadow  over  his  head, 
to  deliver  him  from  his  grief.  So 
Jo'nah  was  exceeding  glad  of  the 
gourd. 

7  But  God  prepared  a  '•'worm 
when  the  morning  rose  the  next 
day,  and  it  smote  the  "'gourd 
that   it   withered. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  sun  did  arise,  that  God  pre- 
pared a  Vehement  "east  wind; 
and  the  sun  beat  upon  the  head 
of  "Jo'nah,  that  he  fainted,  and 


^■''"'wished  in  himself  to  die,  and 
said,  ^It  is  better  for  me  to  die 
than  to  live. 

9  And  God  said  to  ''Jo'nah, 
Doest  thou  well  to  be  *angry  for 
the  gourd  ?  And  he  said,  I  do 
well  to  be  angry,  even  unto 
death. 

10  Then  ^said  the  Lord,  Thou 
hast  had  pity  on  the  gourd,  for 
the  which  thou  hast  not  labour- 
ed, neither  madest  it  grow; 
which  came  up  in  a  night,  and 
jierished  in  a  night:

tham,  "^A'haz,  and  '^Hez-e-kl'ah,

O  earth,  and  all  that  therein  is: 
and  let  the  Lord  God  be  wit-

3  For,  behold,  *the  Lord  com- 
eth  forth  out  of  his  ])lace,  and 
will  come  down,  and  tread  upon 
the  high  places  of  the  earth. 

4  And  Hhe  ^mountains  shall  be

leys shall  be  cleft,  as  wax  before 
the  fire,  and  as  the  waters  tJiat

5  '^'For  the  transgression  of  Ja'-

not  ^Sa-ma'ri-a  ?  and  what  are

^waited  carefully  for  good:  ^but

CHAPTER  2 

Woes  denounced  upon  oppressors.     12  The 
restoration  of  Israel  promised. 

WOE  to  "them  that  Mevise 
iniquity,    and   work   evil 
upon  their  beds  1  when  the  morn- 


ing is  light,  they  practise  it,  be- 
cause it  is  in  the  power  of  their 
hand. 

2  And  '^they  ''covet  fields,  and 
''take  them  by  violence;  and 
houses,  and  take  them  away:  so 
they  ^oppress  a  man  and  his 
iiouse,  even  a  man  and  his  her- 
itage. 

3  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
TiORD;  Behold,  against  this 
''family  do  I  devise  an  ^evil, 
from  which  ye  shall  not  re- 
move your  necks;  neither  shall 
ye  go  haughtily:  for  this  time 
is  evil. 

4  In  that  day  shall  one  take  up 
a  parable  against  you,  and  la- 
ment with  a  doleful  lamentation, 
and  say,  We  be  utterly  spoiled: 
he  hath  changed  the  portion  of 
my  people :  how  hath  he  removed 
it  from  me !  Hurning  away  he 
hath  divided  our  fields. 

5  ^' ^Therefore  thou  shalt  have 
none  that  shall  cast  a  ''cord  by 
'lot  in  the  congregation  of  the 
Lord. 

6  Prophesy  ye  not,  ^say  they  to 
them  that  prophesy:  they  shall 
not  prophesy  to  them,  that  they 
shall  not  take  shame. 

7  O  thou  that  art  named  the 
house  of  Ja'cob,  is  the  spirit  of 
the  Lord  straitened  ?  are  these 
his  doings  ?  do  not  my  words  do 
good  to  ^him  that  walketh  up- 
rightly ? 

8  Even  of  late  my  people  is 
risen  up  as  an  enemy :  ^ye  pull  off 
the  robe  with  the  garment  from 
them  that  pass  by  securely  as 
men  averse  from  war. 

9  The  women  of  my  people 
have  ye  cast  out  from  their  pleas- 
ant houses;  from  their  children 
have  ye  taken  away  my  glory  for 
ever. 

10  Arise  ye,  and  depart;  for 
this  is  not  your  rest:  because  it 
is  polluted,  it  shall  destroy  you, 
even  with  a  sore  destruction.

you,  O  "^heads  of  Ja'cob, 
and  ye  princes  of  the  house  of 
'^Is'ra-el;  Is  it  not  for  you  to 
know  judgment  ? 

2  ''•"Who  hate  the  good,  and 
love  the  evil;  who  ^jiluck  off  their 
skin  from  off  them,  and  their 
flesh  from  oflF  their  bones; 

3  "Who  also  ''eat  the  flesh  of  my 
people,  and  flay  their  skin  from 
off  them;  and  they  break  their 
bones,  and  chop  them  in  })ieces, 
as  for  the  pot,  and  as  flesh  within 
the  caklron. 

4  Then  shall  they  ''cry  unto  the 
Lord,  but  '^he  will  not  hear 
them:  *he  will  even  hide  his  face 
from  them  at  that  time,  as  they 
have  behaved  themselves  ill  in 
their  doings. 

5  t  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  the  'prophets  that 
*''make  my  people  err,  that  bite 
with  their  teeth,  and  cry.  Peace; 


and  he  that  putteth  not  into  their 
mouths,  they  even  prepare  war 
against  him. 

6  Therefore  night  shall  be  unto 
you,  that  'ye  shall  not  have  a  vis- 
ion; and  it  shall  be  dark  unto 
you,  that  ye  shall  not  divine;  and 
the  sun  shall  go  down  over  the 
prophets,  and  the  day  shall  be 
dark  over  them. 

7  Then  shall  the  'seers  be 
ashamed,  and  the  diviners  con- 
founded :  yea,  they  shall  all  cover 
their  lips;  for  "•'HJiere  is  no  an- 
swer of  God. 

8  But  truly  «■'"!  am  "full  of 
power  by  the  spirit  of  the  Lord, 
and  of  judgment,  and  of  might, 
"to  ''declare  unto  Ja'cob  his 
transgression,  and  to  Is'ra-el  his 
sin. 

9  Tf  Hear  this,  I  pray  you,  ye 
''heads  of  the  house  of  Ja'cob, 
and  princes  of  the  house  of  Is'- 
ra-el, "that  abhor  judgment,  and 
''pervert  all  equity. 

10  ''•^They  build  up  Zl'on  with 
blood,  and  Je-ru-sa-lem  with  in- 
icjuity. 

11  The  '■•^heads  thereof  judge 
'for  "reward,  and  the  ^'priests 
thereof  teach  'for  "hire,  and  the 
'prophets  thereof  divine  'for 
"money:  ""yet  will  they  lean  upon 
the  Lord,  and  say.  Is  not  the 
L©RD  among  us  ?  none  evil  can 
come  upon  us. 

12  Therefore  ^shall  Zi'on  for 
your  sake  be  plowcnl  as  a  field, 
and  ^Je-ni'sa-lem  shall  become 
heaps,  and  the  mountain  of  the 
house  as  the  high  places  of  the

son  of  Be'or  answered  him  from

may  know  the  "righteousness  of 
the  Lord. 

6  "Wherewith  shall  I  ^come  be- 
fore the  Lord,  and  bow  myself 
before  the  high  God?  ''•'■shall  I 
come  before  him  with  *burnt  of-

old? 

7  '-"Will  the  Lord  be  pleased 
with  thousands  of  rams,  or  with 
ten  thousands  of  rivers  of  oil  ? 
shall  I  give  my  '-"firstborn  for 
my  transgression,  the  fruit  of  my 
body  for  the  sin  of  my  soul  ? 

8  He  hath  shewed  thee,  O  man, 
what  is  good;  and  what  doth 
the  Lord  ''recjuire  of  thee,  but 
to  ^'"'do  justly,  and  to  ""-^love

with  thy  God  ? 

9  T[  The  Lord's  voice  crieth

10  "Are  there  yet  the  treasures

CHAPTER  7 

The  prophet  laments  the  general  corruption 
of  liis  times,  7  and  puts  his  trust  in  God. 
8  He  encourages  himself  against  his  ene- 
mies. 14  Hi's  prayer.  16  The  ultimate 
triumph  of  God's  people. 

WOE  is  me !  for  I  am  as  when 
they  have  gathered  the 
summer  fruits,  as  the  grape- 
"gleanings  of  the  vintage:  there  is 
no  cluster  to  eat:  my  soul  desired 
the  firstripe  iruit. 

2  The  ^good  man  is  perished 
out  of  the  earth:  and  there  is 
none  upright  among  men:  they 
all  lie  in  wait  for  blood;  they 
hunt  every  man  his  brother  with 
a  net. 

3  ^That  they  may  ''do  evil  with 
both  hands  earnestly,  the  ''prince 
''asketh,  and  the  ''"'judge  askeih 
for  a  ''reward;  and  the  great  man 
he  uttereth  %is  mischievous  de- 
sire: so  they  wrap  it  up. 

4  The  best  of  them  is  as  a  brier: 
the  most  upright  is  sharper  than 
a  thorn  hedge:  the  ''day  of  thy 
watchmen  and  thy  visitation 
cometh;  now  shall  be  their  per- 
plexity. 

5  'Trust  ye  not  in  a  ^'friend,  put 
ye  not  *confidence  in  a  guide: 
'^keep  the  doors  of  thy  mouth 
from  her  that  lieth  in  thy  bosom.

The  majesty  of  God  in  goodness  to  his  people, 
and  his  severity  against  his  enemies. 

THE  ''burden   of   ^Nin'e-veh. 
The  book  of  the  vision  of 
*Na'hum  the  El'kosh-Ite. 

2  Godis  '^jealou.s,  and  the  Lord 
revengeth;  the  Lord  revengeth, 
and  is  '^furious;  the  Lord  will 
''take  'vengeance  on  his  adversa- 
ries, and  he  reserveth  tvrath  for 
his  enemies. 

3  The  Lord  is  ^slow  to  anger, 
and  great  in  ''power,  and  ^'^-'will 
not  at  all  acquit  the  wicked:  the 
Lord  hath  his  way  in  tlie  whirl- 
wind and  in  the  storm,  and  the 
clouds  are  the  dust  of  his  feet. 

4  '^He  rebuketh  the  sea,  and 
maketh  it  dry,  and  drieth  up  all 
the  rivers:  ''^Ba'shan  languisheth, 
and  'Car'mel,  and  tlie  flower  of 
'"Leb'a-non  languisheth. 

5  The  mountains  quake  at 
''him,  and  the  hills  melt,  and  the 
earth  is  ^burned  at  his  presence, 
yea,  the  world,  and  all  that  dwell 
therein. 

6  ''Who  can  stand  before  his  ''in- 
dignation ?  and  who  can  abide 
in  the  fierceness  of  his  anger?  his 
fury  is  poured  out  like  fire,  and 
the  rocks  are  'thrown  down  by 
him. 

7  T[  The  Lord  is  "good,  a 
"•^strong  hold  in  the  day  of  trou- 
ble; and  %e  ''knoweth  them  that 
'trust  in  him. 

S  But  'with  an  overrunning 
flood  he  will  make  an  utter  end 
of  the  place  thereof,  and  '^dark- 
ness shall  pursue  his  enemies. 


9  What  do  ye  imagine  against 
the  Lord  ?  'he  will  make  an  ut- 
ter end:  affliction  shall  not  rise 
up  the  second  time. 

10  For  ^while  thcij  he  f olden  to- 
gether as  thorns,  and  while  they 
are  "drunken  as  "drunkards,  'they 
shall  be  ^devoured  as  '"stubble 
fully  dry. 

11  There  is  one  come  out  of 
thee,  that  imagineth  evil  against 
the  Lord,  a  wicked  counsellor. 

12  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Though  they  he  ^quiet,  and  like- 
wise many,  yet  thus  shall  they  be 
cut  down,  when  he  shall  pass 
through.  Though  I  have  afflicted 
thee,  ^I  will  afflict  thee  no  more. 

13  For  now  ^will  I  break  his 
yoke  from  off  thee,  and  will  burst 
thy  bonds  in  sunder. 

14  And  the  Lord  hath  given  a 
commandment  concerning  thee, 
tliat  no  more  of  thy  name  be 
sown:  out  of  the  house  of  thy 
^godswill  I  cut  oft"  the  graven  im- 
age and  the  molten  image:  I  will 
make  thy  grave;  for  thou  art  vile. 

15  Behold  upon  the  mountains 
the  feet  of  him  that  bringeth 
good  tidings,  that  publisheth 
^peace!  O  Ju'dah,  "keejj  thy  sol- 
emn ''feasts,  perform  thy  '^vows: 
for  the  wicked  shall  no  more 
pass  through  thee;  he  is  utterly 
"cut  off.

tify thy  power  mightily. 

2  For  ^'^the  Lord  hath  turned 
away  tlie  excellency  of  Ja'cob,  as 
the  excellency  of  T.s'ra-el:  for  the 
emptiers  have  emptied  them  out, 
and  marred  their  vine  branches. 

3  The  ''shield  of  his  mighty 
*'men  is  made  red,  the  valiant 
men  are  in  scarlet:  the  ''chariots 
^shall  be  with  flaming  torches  in 
the  day  of  his  preparation,  and 
the  fir  trees  shall  be  terribly 
shaken. 

4  The  ''chariots  shall  rage  in  the 
streets,  they  shall  justle  one 
against  another  in  the  broad 
ways:  they  shall  seem  like 
torches,  they  shall  run  like  the 
"lightnings. 

5  He  shall  recount  his  worthies : 
they  shall  stumble  in  their  walk; 
they  shall  make  haste  to  the  wall 
thereof,  and  the  Mefence  shall 
be  prepared. 

6  The  gates  of  the  rivers  shall 
be  opened,  and  the  ''palace  shall 
be  dissolved. 

7  And  Huz/zab^shall  be  led  away 
c-aptive,  she  shall  be  brought  up, 
and  her  maids  shall  lead  her  as 
with  the  voice  of  doves,  tabering 
upon  their  breasts. 

8  But  "Nin'e-veh  is  of  old  like  a 
pool  of  water:  yet  they  shall  flee 
away.  Stand,  stand,  shall  they 
cry;  but  none  shall  look  back. 

9  Take  ye  the  *spoil  of  silver, 
take  the  spoil  of  gold:  for  there 
is  none  end  of  the  store  a7id 
glory  out  of  all  the  pleasant 
furniture. 

10  'She  is  empty,  and  void,  and 
waste:  and  the  heart  melteth, 
and  tiie  knees  smite  together,  and 
much  pain  is  in  all  loins,  and  the 
faces  of  them  all  gather  black- 
ness. 

11  Wliere  is  the  dwelling  of  the 
*lions,  and  the  feedingplace  of 
the  young  lions,  where  the  lion, 
even  the  old  lion,  walked,  and 


the  lion's  whelp,  and  none  made 
them  afraid  ? 

12  The  *lion  did  tear  in  pieces 
enough  for  his  whelps,  and  stran- 
gled for  his  lionesses,  and  filled 
his  holes  with  prey,  and  his  dens 
with  ravin. 

13  Behold,  I  am  against  thee, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  I 
will  burn  her  chariots  in  the 
smoke,  and  the  sword  shall  de- 
vour thy  young  lions :  and  I  will 
cut  off  thy  prey  from  the  earth, 
and  the  voice  of  thy  messengers 
shall  no  more  be  heard. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  utter  ruin  of  Nineveh. 

WOE  to  the  bloody  '^city!  it  is 
all  full  of  "'^lies  a« J ''rob- 
bery; the  prey  departeth  not; 

2  The  noise  of  a  whip,  and  the 
noise  of  the  rattling  of  the  wheels, 
and  of  the  pransing  '^horses,  and 
of  the  jumping  'chariots. 

3  The  ''horseman  lif  teth  up  both 
the  bright  ''sword  and  the  glit- 
tering 'spear:  and  Hhere  is  a  mul- 
titude of  slain,  and  a  great  num- 
ber of  carcases ;  and  there  is  none 
end  of  their  corp.ses ;  they  stumble 
upon  their  corpses: 

4  Because  of  the  multitude  of  the 
whoredoms  of  the  wellfavoured 
harlot,  the  mistress  of  witchcrafts, 
that  selleth  nations  through  her 
whoredoms,  and  families  through 
her  witchcrafts. 

5  Behold,  ^I  am  against  thee, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  and  I 
will  discover  thy  skirts  upon  thy 
face,  and  I  will  shew  the  nations 
thy  nakedness,  and  the  kingdoms 
thy  shame. 

6  And  ^1  will  cast  abominable 
filth  upon  thee,  and  make  thee 
vile,  and  will  set  thee  as  a  gazing- 
stock. 

7  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  all  they  that  look  upon  thee 
shall  flee  from  thee,  and  say,

6  For,  lo,  'I  raise  up  the  *-'Chal-

are  not  their's. 

7  They  arc  terrible  and  dreadful : 
their  judgment  and  their  dignity 
shall  proceed  of  themselves. 

8  Their  ""horses  also  are  swifter 
than  the  "leopards,  and  are  more 
fierce  than  the  evening  "wolves: 
and  their  ^horsemen  shall  spread 
themselves,  and  their  horsemen 
shall  come  from  far;  they  shall 
fly  as  the  ''eagle  that  hasteth  to

9  They  shall  come  all  for  vio- 
lence: their  faces  ^.shall  sup  up 
as  the  east  wind,  and  they  shall 
gather  Hhe  captivity  as  the  sand. 

10  •'^And  they  shall  '^scoff  at  the 
kings,  and  the  princes  shall  be  a 
scorn  unto  them:  they  shall  de- 
ride every  strong  hold;  for  they 
sliall  heap  dust,  and  take  it. 

1 1  Then  shall  ^his  mind  change, 
and  he  shall  pass  over,  and  ^of- 
fend, imputing  this  his  power 
unto  his  god. 

12  ^  ^Art  thou  not  from  'ever-

14  ^And  makest  men  as  the

with  the  angle,  they  catch  them 
in  their  net,  and  gather  them  in 
their  drag:  therefore  they  rejoice 
and  are  glad.

their  ^net,  and  burn  incen.se  unto 
their  Mrag;  because  by  them  their

"'Woe  to  "him  that  increaseth

14  For  «'^'*the  earth  shall  be

Lord,  *'*revive  thy  work  in  the 
midst  of  the  years,  in  the  midst 
of  the  years  make  known;  ^in 
wrath  remember  mercy. 

3  ^  God  came  from  "Te'man, 
and  the  Holy  One  from  mount 
"Pa'ran.  [Se'lah.]  His  *glory 
covered  the  heavens,  and  the 
earth  was  full  of  his  praise. 

4  And  his  'brightness  was  as  the 
light;  he  had  -horns  coining  out 
of  his  hand:  and  there  was  the 
hiding  of  his  ^power. 

5  Before  him  went  the  pesti- 
lence, and  ^burning  coals  went 
forth  at  his  feet. 

6  He  stood,  and  measured  the 
earth :  he  beheld,  and  drove  asun- 
der the  nations;  and  the  everlast- 
ing mountains  were  scattered,  the 
perpetual  hills  did  bow:  ^liis  ways 
are  everlasting. 

7  I  saw  the  ''tents  of  Cu'shan  in 
affliction:  and  the  curtains  of  the 
land  of  ']MTd'i-an  did  tremble. 

8  Was  the  Lord  di-spleased 
against  the  rivers  ?  was  thine 
'"anger  against  the  rivers  ?  tvas 
thy  wrath  against  the  sea,  that 
thou  didst  ride  upon  thine  horses 
and  thy  chariots  of  salvation  ? 

9  Thy  bow  was  made  quite 
naked,  according  to  the  oaths  of 
the  tribes,  even  thy  word.  [Se'- 
lah.] Thou  didst  cleave  the  eartli 
with  rivers. 

10  The  mountains  saw  thee,  and 
they  trembled:  the  overflowing 
of  the  water  passed  by:  the  deep 
uttered  his  voice,  and  lifted  up 
his  hands  on  high. 

1 1  The  sun  and  moon  stood  still 
in  their  habitation:  at  tlie  liirht  of 


thinearrows  they  went,  and  at  the 
shining  of  thy  glittering  spear. 

12  Thou  didst  march  through 
the  land  in  indignation,  thou  didst 
thresh  the  ^heathen  in  anger. 

13  Thou  wentest  forth  for  the 
salvation  of  thy  people,  even  for 
salvation  with  thine  anointed; 
thou  woimdeflst  the  head  out  of 
the  house  of  the  wicked,  by  dis- 
covering the  foundation  unto  the 
neck.  [Se'lah. 

14  Thou  didst  ^strike  through 
with  his  staves  the  head  of  his  vil- 
lages: they  came  out  as  a  whirl- 
wind to  scatter  me:  their  rejoic- 
ing was  as  to  devour  the  poor 
secretly. 

15  Thou  didst  walk  through  the 
sea  with  thine  horses,  through  the 
heap  of  great  waters. 

16  When  I  heard,  my  belly 
trembled ;  my  lips  quivered  at  the 
voice:  rottenness  entered  into  my 
bones,  and  I  trembled  in  '^ myself , 
that  I  might  rest  in  the  day  of 
trouble:  when  ^he  cometh  up  un- 
to the  people,  he  will  invade 
them  with  his  troops. 

17  \  Although  the  fig  tree  shall 
not  blossom,  neither  shall  fruit 
he  in  the  vines;  the  labour  of  the 
olive  shall  fail,  and  the  fields  shall 
yield  no  meat;  the  flock  shall  be 
cut  off  from  the  fold,  and  tliere 
shall  he  no  herd  in  the  stalls: 

18  Yet  "I  will  rejoice  in  the 
Lord,  I  will  ^joy  in  the  God  of 
my  salvation. 

19  »'"'mie  Lord  God  is  my 
strength,  and  he  will  make  my 
feet  like  hinds'  jcH,  and  he  will 
make  me  to  walk  upon  mine  high

The  date  oj  the  prophecy.  2  Judgments 
upon  Judah  and  Jerusalem  for  their 
sins. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  which 
'^came  unto  *Zeph-a-ni'ah 
the  son  of  Cii'shi,  the  son  of  Ged- 
a-Ii'ah,  the  son  of  Ain-a-ri'ah, 
the  son  of  Hiz-ki'ah,  in  the  days 
of  *J6-si'ah  the  son  of  ''A'-mon, 
king  of  Ju'dah. 

2  ''I  will  utterly  consume  all 
things  from  off  the  land,  saith  the 
Lord. 

3  ''I  will  consume  man  and 
beast;  I  will  consume  the  fowls 
of  the  heaven,  and  the  fishes  of 
the  sea,  and  the  ''stumblingblocks 
with  the  wicked;  and  I  will  ''cut 
off  man  from  off  the  land,  saith 
the  Lord. 

4  '^I  will  also  stretch  out  mine 
hand  upon  "Ju'dah,  and  upon 
all  the  inhabitants  of  ''Je-rii'sa- 
lem;  and  I  will  ^cut  off  the  rem- 
nant of  Ba'al  from  this  place, 
and  the  name  of  the  Chem'a- 
rinxs  with   the   'priests; 

5  And  '^•^them  that  worship  the 
'-  ^host  of  heaven  upon  the 'house-

and  that  swear  by  the  Lord,  and 
that  swear  by  INIaFcham; 

6  And  ''•'them  that  are  "turned 
back  from  the  Lord;  and  tJiose 
that  have  "not  sought  the  Lord, 
nor  enquired  for  him. 

7  Hold  thy  peace  at  the  pres- 
ence of  the  Lord  God:  for  the 
''day  of  the  Lord  is  at  hand:  for 


the  Lord  hath  prepared  a  'sac- 
rifice, he  hath  'bid  his  ^guests. 

8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
the  day  of  the  Lord's  ''sacrifice, 
that  I  will  'punish  the  princes, 
and  the  king's  children,  and  all 
such  as  are  clothed  with  -strange 
''apparel. 

9  In  the  same  day  also  will  ''I 
'punish  all  those  that  leap  on  the 
threshold,  which  fill  tlieir  mas- 
ters' houses  with  violence  and 
deceit. 

10  And  ''it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
there  shall  be  the  noise  of  a  cry 
from  the  *fish  gate,  and  an  howl- 
ing from  the  second,  and  a  great 
crashing  from  the  hills. 

11  Howl,  ye  inhabitants  of

12  ^  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
at  that  time,  that  I  will  search 
''Je-rii'sa-lem  with  'candles,  and 
'punish  the  men  that  are  set-

greatly,  evcfi  the  voice  of  the  day 
of  the  Lord:  the  mighty  man 
shall  cry  there  bitterly. 

15  That  ^(iay  is  a  day  of  wrath, 
a  day  of  trouble  and  distress,  a 
day  of  wasteness  and  desolation, 
a  day  of  darkness  and  gloomi- 
ness, a  day  of  clouds  and  thick 
darkness, 

16  A  day  of  the  ^trumpet  and 
alarm  against  the  fenced  cities, 
and  against  the  high  ^towers. 

17  And  '^I  will  bring  ^-Mistress 
upon  men,  that  "they  shall  walk 
like  blind  men,  because  they 
have  sinned  against  the  Lord: 
and  their  blood  shall  be  poured 
out  as  dust,  and  their  flesh  as  the 
dung. 

18  ''•^Neither  their  silver  nor 
their  gold  shall  be  able  to  deliver 
them  in  the  day  of  the  Lord's 
wrath;  but  the  whole  land  shall 
be  devoured  by  the  fire  of  his 
^jealousy:  for  he  shall  make^even 
a  speedy  riddance  of  all  them 
that  dwell  in  the  land. 

CHAPTER  2 

An  exhortation  to  repentance.  4  Judg- 
ments upon  the  Philistines,  8  upon  Moab 
and  Amman,  12  upon  Ethiopia  and 
Assyria. 

'^f^  ATIIER  yourselves  together, 
vJ    yea,  gather  together,  O  na- 
tion ^not  desired; 

2  Before  the  decree  bring  forth, 
before  the  day  pass  as  the  chaff, 
before  the  fierce  *anger  of  the 
Lord  come  upon  you,  before  the 
May  of  the  Lord's  anger  come 
upon  you. 

3  '^Seek  ye  the  Lord,  all  ye  meek 
of  the  earth,  which  have  wrought 
his  judgment;  seek  *righteous- 
ness,  seek  ^meekness:  it  may  be 
ye  shall  be  hid  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord's  anger. 

4  1  For  ^Ga'za  shall  be  for- 
.saken,  and  '^Ash'ke-lSn  a  deso- 
lation: they  shall  drive  out  *Ash'- 
dod  at  the  noon  day,  and  ^Ek'- 
roii  sliall  be  rooted  up. 

5  ^Woe  unto  the  'inhabitants  of 


the  sea  coast,  the  nation  of  the 
"'Cher'e-thites  1  the  word  of  the 
Lord  is  against  you;  O  CiV- 
naan,  the  land  of  the  "Phi-lis'- 
tines,  I  will  even  destroy  thee, 
that  there  shall  be  no  inhabitant. 

6  And  the  sea  coast  shall  be 
^dwellings  and  cottages  for  "shep- 
herds, and  folds  for  flocks. 

7  And  ''the  coast  shall  be  for  the 
remnant  of  the  house  of  Ju'dali; 
they  shall  ^feed  thereupon:  in 
the  houses  of  Ash'ke-lon  shall 
they  lie  down  in  the  evening:  for 
*the  Lord  their  God  shall  visit 
them,  and  *turn  away  their  cap- 
tivity. 

8  *|[  I  have  heard  the  reproach 
of  '^iNIo'ab,  and  the  revilings  of 
the  ^children  of  Am'mon,  where- 
by they  have  reproached  my  peo- 
ple, and  magnified  themselves 
against  their  border. 

9  Therefore  as  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  !§''- 
ra-el,  Surely  ^-''''Mo'ab  shall  be 
as  'Sod'om,  and  the  ^children  of 
Am'mon  as  ''Go-mor'rah,  ^eve^i 
the  breeding  of  "nettles,  and 
"'saltpits,  and  a  perpetual  deso- 
lation: the  residue  of  my  people 
shall  spoil  them,  and  the  rem- 
nant of  my  ^people  shall  possess 
them. 

10  ''^•'This  shall  they  have  for 
their  pride,  because  they  have 
re])roached  and  magnified  thevi- 
selves  against  the  ])eople  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

11  The  Lord  will  he  terrible 
unto  them:  for  ^he  will  famish 
all  the  gods  of  ±he  earth;  and 
men  shall  worship  him,  every 
one  from  his  place,  even  all  the 
isles  of  the  ^heathen. 

12  ^  Ye  *•'•  ^E-thi-r/pi-an§  also, 
ye  shall  he  slain  by  my  ^sword. 

13  And  he  will  stretch  out  his 
hand  against  the  north,  and  de- 
stroy "As-syr'I-a;  and  will  make 
''Nin-e-veh  a  desolation,  and  dry 
like  a  wilderness.

CHAPTER  3 

Jerusalem  rebuked  for  t^ariou.'s  sins.  8  An 
exhortation  to  wait  on  God  for  the  restora- 
tion of  Israel,  14  and  to  rejoice  in  their 
deliverance. 

WOE  to  her  that  is  'filthy  and 
polluted,  to  the  "^oppress- 
ing  ''city! 

2  "^She  obeyed  not  the  voice; 
"^she  received  not  correction;  she 
trusted  not  in  the  Lord;  she 
drew  not  near  to  her  God. 

3  Her  '^princes  within  her  are 
roaring  lions;  her  '-^judges  are 
evening  ''wolves;  they  ^gnaw  not 
the  bones  till  the  morrow. 

4  Her  prophets  are  light  and 
treacherous  persons:  her  'priests 
have  polluted  the  sanctuary, 
they  have  done  violence  to  the 
law. 

5  The  'just  Lord  is  in  the 
midst  thereof;  '^he  will  not  do 
iniquity:  every  morning  doth  he 
bring  his  judgment  to  light,  he 
faileth  not;  but  'the  "'unjust 
knoweth    no    shame. 

6  "I  have  cut  off  the  nations: 
their  ^towers  are  desolate;  I  made 
their  streets  waste,  that  none  pass- 
eth by:  their  cities  are  destroyed, 
so  that  there  is  no  man,  that 
there  is  none  inhabitant. 

7  I  "^said,  Surely  thou  wilt  "fear 
me,  thou  wilt  receive  ^instruc- 
tion; so  their  dwelling  should  not 


be  cut  off,  howsoever  I  punished 
them:  but  they  rose  early,  and 
corrupted  all  their  doings. 

8  T[  Therefore  wait  ye  upon  me, 
saith  the  Lord,  until  the  day 
that  I  rise  up  to  the  prey:  for  my 
determination  is  to  gather  the 
nations,  that  I  may  assemble  the 
kingdoms,  to  pour  upon  them 
mine  indignation,  even  all  my 
fierce  ''anger:  for  all  the  earth 
shall  be  devoured  with  the  fire  of 
my  ^jealousy. 

9  For  ^then  will  I  *turn  to  the 
^people  a  pure  language,  that 
they  may  all  'call  upon  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  to  serve  him  with 
one  consent. 

10  From  beyond  the  rivers  of 
"E-thi-o'pi-a  my  suppliants,  even 
the  daughter  of  my  dispersed, 
shall   bring  mine   offering. 

11  In  that  day  shalt  thou  not 
be  ashamed  for  all  thy  doings, 
wherein  thou  hast  transgressed 
against  me:  for  then  I  will  take 
away  out  of  the  midst  of  thee 
^thern  that  rejoice  in  thy  pride, 
and  thou  shalt  no  more  be 
haughty  ^because  of  my  holy 
mountain. 

12  I  will  also  leave  in  the  midst 
of  thee  an  afflicted  and  '^poor 
people,  and  they  shall  "'trust  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord. 

13  ^  ^The  remnant  of  Is'ra-el 
shall  not  do  iniquity,  nor  speak 
lies;  neither  shall  a  ^deceitful 
tongue  be  found  in  their  mouth : 
for  they  shall  feed  and  lie  down, 
and  none  shall  make  them 
afraid. 

14  t  Sing,  O  daughter  of  'ZV- 
6n;  shout,  O  "I.s'ra-el;  be  glad 
and  rejoice  with  all  the  ''heart, 
O  daughter  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15  "''^The  Lord  hath  taken 
away  thy  judgments,  he  hath 
cast  out  thine  enemy:  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el,  even  the  Lord,  is  in  the 
midst  of  thee:  thou  shalt  not  see 
evil  any  more.  i

CHAPTER  1 

The  prophet  reproves  the  people  for  neglect- 
ing to  build  the  Lord's  house.  7  He  ex- 
horts them  to  build,  12  and  promises  them 
God's  assistance. 

IN  the  second  year  of  "Da-ri'us 
the  king,  in  the  sixth  ''month, 
in  the  first  day  of  the  month, 
*came  the  word  of  the  Lord  by 
*Hag'ga-i  the  prophet  unto  ''Zv- 
rub'ba-bel  the  son  of  ''She-al'ti- 
el,  governor  of  Ju'dah,  and  to 
Mosh'u-a  the  son  of  "Jos'e-dfich, 
the  ''high  priest,  saying, 

2  ""Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  saying.  This  people  ^'^say. 
The  time  is  not  come,  the  time 
that  the  Lord's  *house  should 
be  built. 

3  Then  '^came  the  word  of  the 
T>ORD  by  *Hag'ga-I  the  prophet, 
'saying, 

4  '/.v  it  time  for  you,  O  ye,  to 
dwell  in  your  cieled  houses,  and 
this  house  lie  waste  ? 

5  Now  therefore  thus  "'■  "saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts;  Consider  your 
ways. 

6  "Ye  have  sown  much,  and 
bring  in  little;  ye  eat,  but  ye  have 


not  enough;  ye  drink,  but  ye  are 
not  filled  with  drink;  ye  clothe 
you,  but  there  is  none  warm ;  and 
he  that  earneth  wages  earneth 
wages  to  put  it  into  a  bag  with 
holes. 

7  11  Thus  '"•'^saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts ;  Consider  your  ways. 

8  Go  up  to  the  mountain,  and 
^bring  wood,  and  build  thehouse ; 
and  I  will  take  pleasure  in  it, 
and  I  will  be  glorified,  saith  the 
Lord. 

9  Ye  looked  for  much,  and,  lo, 
'^■^it  came  to  little;  and  when  ye 
brought  it  home,  ^-T  did  blow 
upon  it.  Why  ?  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts.  Because  of  mine  house 
that  is  waste,  and  ye  run  every 
man  unto  his  own  house. 

10  «'• ''Therefore  the  heaven  over 
you  is  stayed  from  dew.  antl 
'•'the  earth  is  stayed  from  her

ing, I  am  with  you,  saith  the 
Lord.

and  the  spirit  of  Josh'u-a  the  son

CHAPTER  2 

The  glory  of  the  latter  house  to  be  greater 
than  that  of  the  former.  10  The  wark 
hindered  by  the  sins  of  the  people.  20 
God's  promise  to  Zerubbabel. 

IN  the  seventh  "month,  in  the 
one  and  twentieth  day  of 
the  month,  *came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  by  the  prophet  ''Hag'- 
ga-I,  saying, 

2  Speak  now  to  "^Ze-rub'ba-bel 
the  son  of  ''She-jil'ti-el,  gover- 
nor of  ^Ju'dah,  and  to  "Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  ''Jos'e-dech,  the  *high

people,  saying, 

3  Who  is  left  among  you  that 
saw  this  ^house  in  her  first  glory  ? 
and  how  do  ye  see  it  now  ?  is  it 
not  in  your  eyes  in  comparison  of 
it  as  nothing  ?  14   Then   answered   Hag'ga-i, 

4  Yet  now  be  strong,  O  '*Ze- 1  and  "said,  *So  is  his  people,  and 

1:13;  Mai. 


rub'ba-bel,  saith  the  Lord;  and 
be  strong,  O  "Josh'u-a,  son  of 
''Jos'e-dech,  the  4iigh  priest;  and 
be  strong,  all  ye  people  of  the 
land,  saith  the  Lord,  and  *work: 
for  T  am  with  you,  saith  the 
IvORD  of  hosts: 

5  According  to  the  word  that  I 
'"covenanted  with  you  Avhen  ye 
came  out  of  "E'gypt,  "so  my  spirit 
remaineth  among  you:  fear  ye 
not. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  ^Yet  once,  it  is  a  little 
while,  and  I  will  shake  the  heav- 
ens, and  the  earth,  and  the  sea, 
and  the  dry  land; 

7  And  ^-^-^I  will  shake  all  na- 
tions, and  the  ^-Mesire  of  all  na- 
tions shall  come:  and  I  will  fill 
this  house  with  glory,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

8  "The  silver  is  mine,  and  the 
gold  is  mine,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

9  The  glory  of  this  latter  house 
shall  be  greater  than  of  the  for- 
mer, saith  the  Lord  of  hosts: 
and  in  this  place  will  I  give 
''l^eace,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

10  ^  In  the  four  and  twentieth 
day  of  the  ninth  ^''monfh,  in  the 
second  year  of  ^Da-ri'us,  *came 
the  word  of  the  Lord  by  ''Hag'- 
ga-i the  ])rophet,  saying, 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  Ask  now  the  priests  co7i- 
cerning  the  law,  saying, 

12  ^If  one  bear  holy  flesh  in  the 
skirt  of  his  garment,  and  with 
his  skirt  do  touch  bread,  or  pot- 
tage, or  wine,  or  oil,  or  any  meat, 
shall  it  be  holy  ?  And  the  priests 
answered  and  said.  No. 

13  Then  said  Hag'ga-I,  If  one 
that  is  unclean  by  a  dead  body 
touch  any  of  these,  shall  it  be  un- 
clean ?  And  the  priests  answered 
and  said,  It  shall  be  ^unclean.

so  i?  thi.s  nation  before  me,  saith 
the  Lord;  and  so  is  every  work 
of  their  hand.s;  and  that  which 
they  offer  there  is  unclean. 

15  And  now,  I  pray  you,  con- 
sider from  this  day  and  upward, 
from  before  a  stone  was  laid  up- 
on a  stone  in  the  ^temple  of  the 
Lord: 

16  ^Sinee  those  days  were,  when 
one  came  to  an  heap  of  twenty 
measures,  there  were  hut  ten: 
when  one  came  to  the  pressfat 
for  to  draw  out  fifty  vessels  out 
of  the  press,  there  were  hut 
twenty. 

17  1  ''smote  you  with  ^"'blasting 
and  with  "mildew  and  with  ''hail 
in  all  the  labours  of  your  hands; 
'yet  ye  turned  not  to  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

18  t  Consider  now  from  this 
day  and  upward,  from  the  four 
and  twentieth  day  of  the  ninth 
month,  even  from  the  day  that 
the  foundation  of  the  Lord's 
'temple  was  laid,  consider  it. 

19  Is  the  seed  yet  in  the  ^barn  ? 


yea,  as  yet  the  vine,  and  the  fig 
tree,  and  the  pomegranate,  and 
the  olive  tree,  hath  not  brought 
forth:  from  this  day  '•'"•"will  1 
bless  you. 

20  T[  And  again  the  word  of  the 
Lord  ''came  unto  ^Hag'ga-I  in 
the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the 
month,  saying, 

21  Sjieak  to  *Ze-rub'ba-bel,  gov- 
ernor of  '■Ju'dah,  saying,  I  will 
shake  the  heavens  and  the  earth ; 

22  And  *I  will  'overUirow  the 
throne  of  kingdoms,  and  I  will 
destroy  the  strength  of  the  king- 
doms of  the  ^heathen;  and  I 
will  overthrow  the  chariots,  and 
those  that  ride  in  them;  and  the 
horses  and  their  riders  shall  come 
down,  every  one  by  the  sword 
of  his  brother. 

23  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  will  I  "take  thee,  O 
*Ze-rub'ba-bel,  my  .servant,  the 
son  of  She-a,l'tT-el,  saith  the

do  unto  us,  '"according  to  our 
ways,  and  according  to  our  do- 
ings, "so  hath  he  dealt  with  us. 

7  Tf  Upon  the  four  and  twenti- 
eth day  of  the  eleventh  "month, 
which  is  the  month  Se'bat,  in  the 
second  year  of  ''Da-rl'us,  '^came 
the  ''word  of  the  Lord  unto 
*Zech-a-rl'ah,  the  son  of  Ber-

prophet,  saying, 

8  I  ^saw  by  night,  and  behold 
a  man  riding  upon  a  red  horse, 
and  he  stood  among  the  myrtle 
trees  that  were  in  the  bottom; 
and  behind  him  tvere  there  red 
horses,  ^speckled,  and  white. 

9  Then  said  I,  O  my  lord,  what 
are  these  ?  And  the  angel  that 
^talked  with  mc  said  unto  me,  I 
will  shew  thee  what  these  he. 

10  And  the  man  that  stood 
among  the  myrtle  trees  answered 
and  said.  These  are  theij  whom 
the  Lord  hath  sent  to  walk  to 
and  fro  through  the  earth. 

11  And  they  answered  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  that  stood  among 
the  ''myrtle  trees,  and  said.  We 
have  walked  to  and  fro  through 
the  earth,  and,  behold,  all  the 
earth  sitteth  still,  and  is  at 
*rest. 

12  ^  Then  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  answered  and  'said,  O 
Lord  of  hosts,  how  long  wilt 
thou  not  have  mercy  on  "Je-rii'- 
sil-lera  and  on  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah,  against  which  thou  hast  had 
indignation  these  ^'threescore  and 
ten  years  ? 

13  And  the  Lord  '"answered 
the  angel  that  'talked  with  me 
vyith  good  words  and  comfort- 
able words. 

14  So  the  angel  that  communed 
with  me  ^said  unto  me,  Cry 
thou,  saying,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts;  ^I  am  ^- ^jealous 


for  ''Je-ru'sa-lem  and  for  "Zfon 
with  a  great  jealousy. 

15  And  I  am  very  sore  dis- 
pleased with  the  ^heathen  tliat 
are  at  ease:  for  I  was  but  a  little 
displeased,  and  they  helped  for- 
ward the  affliction. 

16  I'herefore  "■''thus  saith  the 
Lord;  I  am  returned  to  Je- 
ru'sa-lem  with  '^■''mercies:  my 
''house  shall  be  built  in  it,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  a  line 
shall  be  stretched  forth  upon 
Je-rii'sa-lem. 

17  Cry  yet,  "•''saying.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  '^•"My 
cities  through  prosperity  shall  yet 
be  spread  abroad;  and  the  Lord 
shall  yet  comfort  Zl'on,  and  shall 
yet  choose  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

18  %  Then  lifted  I  up  mine 
eyes,  and  ''saw,  and  behold  four 
''horns. 

19  And  1  said  unto  the  angel 
that  talked  with  me,  What  be 
these  ?  And  he  answered  me, 
'lliese  are  the  ^horns  which  have 
scattered  Ju'dah,  Is'ra-el,  and 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20  And  the  Lord  shewed  me 
four  ^carpenters. 

21  Then  said  I,  W^hat  come 
these  to  do  ?  And  he  spake,  say- 
ing. These  are  the  "horns  which 
have  scattered  Ju'dah,  so  that  no 
man  did  lift  up  his  head:  but 
these  are  come  to  fray  them,  to 
cast  out  the  horns  of  the  ^(j6n'- 
tlles,  which  lifted  ujd  their  horn

ter it.

CHAPTER  3 

Under  tlie  type  of  Joshua,  the  restoration  of 
Zion  is  prefigured.  8  Messiah  the 
Branch  is  promised. 

AND  he  "shewed  me  *J6sh'- 
u-ii  the  '^high  priest  stand- 
ing before  the  '^angel  of  the 
Lord,  and  ^Sa'tan  standing  at 
his  right  hand  to  resist  him.

Sa'tan;  even  the  Lord  that  hath 
chosen  Je-ni'sa-lem  rebuke  thee : 
is  not  this  a  ''brand  plucked  out

4  And  he  answered  and  spake 
unto  those  that  stood  before  him, 
saying,  ''Take  away  the  filthy 
*garmentsfrom  him.  And  unto 
him  he  said,  "Behold,  I  liave

5  And  I  said.  Let  them  set  a

they  set  a  fair  mitre  upon  his 
head,  and  clothed  him  with  gar-

CHAPTER  4 

Th^  vision  of  the  golden  candlestick .  5  and 
the  explanation  thereof.  11  The  two 
olive  trees  are  the  two  anointed  ones. 

AND  the  "angel  that  talked 
with  ''me  came  again,  and 
waked  me,  as  a  man  that  is  wak- 
ened out  of  his  sleep, 

2  And  said  unto  me.  What 
"seest  thou  ?  And  I  said,  I  have 
looked,  and  behold  a  ''candle- 
stick all  of  ''gold,  with  a  bowl 
upon  the  top  of  it,  and  his  ^seven 
lamps  thereon,  and  seven  pipes 
to  the  seven  lamps,  which  are 
upon  the  top  thereof: 

3  And  two  ''olive  trees  by  it,  one 
upon  the  right  side  of  the  bowl, 
and  the  other  upon  the  left  side 
thereof. 

4  So  I  answered  and  spake  to 
the  angel  that  talked  with  me, 
saying.  What  are  these,  my  lord  ? 

5  Then  the  angel  that  talked 
with  me  answered  and  said  unto 
me,  Knowest  thou  not  what 
these  be  ?  And  I  said,  No,  my 
lord. 


6  Then  he  answered  and  spake 
unto  me,  saying.  This  is  the  word 
of  the  Lord  unto  ''Ze-rub'ba- 
bel,  saying,  '^Not  by  might,  nor 
by  power,  but  by  my  ^spirit,  saith 
die  Lord  of  hosts. 

7  Who  art  thou,  O  great  moun- 
tain? before  ''Ze-rub'ba-bcl  thou 
shalt  become  a  plain:  and  he  shall 
bring  forth  the  ''lieadstone  tJiere- 
of  luith  shoutings,  crying,  Grace, 
grace  unto  it. 

8  Moreover  the  'word  of  the 
Lord  '"came  unto  *me,  saying, 

9  The  hands  of  "Ze-rub'ba-b^l 
have  laid  the  foundation  of  this 
'■^house;  his  hands  shall  also  fin- 
ish it;  and  thou  shalt  know  that 
the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  me 
unto  you. 

10  For  who  hath  despised  the 
day  of  small  things  ?  for  they 
shall  rejoice,  and  shall  see  the 
"j)linnmet  in  the  hand  of  ''Ze- 
rub'ba-bel  with  those  -seven; 
they  are  the  eyes  of  the  Lord, 
which  "run  to  and  fro  through 
the  whole  earth. 

11  Tf  Then  answered  I,  and  said 
unto  him.  What  are  these  two 
^olive  trees  upon  the  right  side 
of  the  "^candlestick  and  upon  the 
left  side  thereof  ? 

12  And  I  answered  again,  and 
said  unto  him.  What  be  these  two 
''•''olive  branches  which  through 
the  two  golden  pipes  empty  the 
golden  ''oil  out  of  themselves  ? 

13  And  he  answered  me  and 
said,  Knowest  thou  not  what 
these  be  ?  And  I  said.  No,  my 
lord. 

14  Then  said  he,  These  are  the 
two  ^anointed  ones,  that  stand 
by  the  Lord  of  the  whole  earth.

see  a  flying  roll;  the  length  there- 
of is  twenty  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  thereof  ten  cubits. 

3  Then  '^said  he  unto  me,  This 
is  the  '^curse  that  goeth  forth 
over  the  face  of  the  whole  earth: 
for  every  one  that  ''"'stealeth 
shall  be  ^cut  off  as  on  this  side 
according  to  it;  and  every  one 
that  ''■''sweareth  shall  be  ^cut  off 
as  on  that  side  according  to  it. 

4  I  will  bring  ''it  forth,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  it  shall  en- 
ter into  the  house  of  the  '^thief, 
and  into  the  house  of  him  tiiat 
''■''sweareth  falsely  by  my  name: 
and  it  shall  remain  in  the  midst 
of  his  house,  and  shall  consume 
it  with  the  timber  thereof  and 
the  stones  thereof. 

5  ^  Then  the  '^angel  that  talked 
with  me  went  forth,  and  '^said 
unto  me,  Ivift  up  now  thine  eyes, 
and  see  what  is  this  that  goeth 
forth. 

6  And  I  said.  What  is  it  ?  And  he 
said.  This  is  an  ephah  that  goeth 
forth.  He  said  moreover,  This 
is  their  resemblance  through  all 
the  earth. 

7  And,  behold,  there  was  lifted 
up  a  talent  of  lead:  and  this  is  a 
^voman  that  sitteth  in  the  midst 
of  the  ephah. 

8  And  he  said.  This  is  wicked- 
ness. And  he  cast  it  into  the 
midst  of  the  ephah;  and  he  cast 
the  weight  of  lead  upon  the 
mouth  thereof. 

9  Then  lifted  I  up  mine  eyes, 
and  looked,  and,  behold,  there 
came  out  two  Uvomen,  and  the 
wind  was  in  their  wings;  for  they 
had  wings  like  the  wings  of  a 
stork:  and  they  lifted  up  the 
ephah  between  the  earth  and  the 
heaven. 

10  Then  said  I  to  the  *angel 
that  talked  with  me,  Whither  do 
the.se  bear  the  ej)hah  ? 

11  And  he  said  unto  me.  To 


build  it  an  house  in  the  land  of 
Slii'niir:  and  ^it  shall  be  estal)- 
lished,  and  set  there  upon  iier

CHAPTEll  6 

The  vision  of  tlie  four  chariots.  9  The 
crowning  of  Josliua  the  high  priest,  a  type 
of  Messiah  the  Branch,  and  of  his  domin- 
ion. 

AND  '^I  turned,  and  lifted  u\) 
mine  eyes,  and  looked,  and, 
l)ehol(l,  ''there  came  four  ''char- 
iots out  from  between  two  moun- 
tains; and  the  mountains  ^vere 
mountains  of  ''brass. 

2  In  the  first  '^chariot  were  "red 
''horses;  and  in  the  second  char- 
iot black  horses; 

3  And  in  the  third  '^chariot 
''white  Worses;  and  in  the  fourth 
chariot  grisled  and  bay  horses. 

4  Then  I  answered  and  said 
unto  the  ''angel  that  talked  with 
me.  What  are  these,  my  lord  ? 

5  And  the  angel  answered  and 
said  unto  me,  These  are  the  four 
^spirits  of  the  heavens,  which  go 
forth  from  standing  before  the 
Lord  of  all  the  earth. 

6  The  ^'^black  horses  which  are 
therein  go  forth  into  the  north 
country;  and  the  white  go  forth 
after  them;  and  the  grisled  go 
forth  toward  the  south  country. 

7  And  the  bay  went  forth,  and 
sought  to  go  that  they  might  walk 
to  and  fro  through  the  earth:  and 
he  said.  Get  you  hence,  walk  to 
and  fro  through  the  earth.  So 
they  walked  to  and  fro  through 
the  earth. 

8  Then  cried  he  upon  me,  and 
spake  unto  me,  saying.  Behold, 
these  that  go  toward  the  north 
country  have  quieted  my  spirit  in 
the  north  country. 

9  ^  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

10  Take  of  them  of  the  captiv-

AND  it  came 
fourth 

rl'us,  that  the  ''word  of  the  Lord 
''came  unto  <*Zech-a-ri'ah  in  the 
fourth  day  of  the  ninth  ^month, 
even  in  Chis'leu; 

2  ^When  they  had  sent  unto  the 
house  of  God  She-re'zer  and 
Re'gem-me'lech,  and  their  men, 
to  'pray  before  the  Lord, 

3  And  to  speak  unto  the  "priests 
which  toere  in  the  ''house  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  to  the 'proph- 


ets, saying,  Should  I  weep  in  the 
fifth 'month,  separating  myself,  as 
I  have  done  these  so  many  years  ? 

4  Tf  Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  unto  me,  saying, 

5  Speak  unto  all  the  people  of 
the  land,  and  to  the  "'''priests, 
saying,  When  ye  fasted  and 
mourned  in  the  'fifth  and  'sev- 
enth month,  even  those  '"seventy 
years,  "-"did  ye  at  all  fast  unto 
me,  even  to  me? 

6  And  when  ye  did  eat,  and 
when  ye  did  drink,  "■  "did  not  ye 
eat  for  yourselves,  and  drink  for 
yourselves  ? 

7  '^Should  ye  not  hear  the  words 
which  the  Lord  hath  cried  by 
the  former  prophets,  when  Je- 
ru'sa-lem  was  inhabited  and  in 
''prosperity,  and  the  cities  there- 
of round  about  her,  when  mefi  in- 
liabited  the  south  and  the  plain? 

8  T[  And  the  ''word  of  the  Lord 
•^came  unto  ''Zech-a-rl'ah,  saying, 

9  Thus  *speaketh  the  I.1ORD  of 
hosts,  saying,  '•''■"E.xecute  '"true 
judgment,  and  shew  ^mercy  and 
^compassions  every  man  to  his 
brother: 

10  And  ^oppress  not  the  "widow, 
nor  the  ''fatherless,  the  '^stranger, 
nor  the ''poor;  and ''let  none  of  you 
imagine  evil  against  his  brother 
in  your  heart. 

11  But  ''•"they  refused  to  heark- 
en, and  pulled  away  the  shoul- 
der, and  stopped  their  ears,  that 
they  should  not  hear. 

12  Yea,  they  ^-'made  their

they  should  hear  the  law,  and 
the  'words  which  the  Lord  of 
hosts  hath  '^sent  in  his  'spirit  by 
the  former  prophets:  therefore 
came  a  great  '"wrath  from  the 
Lord  of  hosts.

whom  they  knew  not.  Thus  the

encouraged  in  buiUUnq  the  Lord's  house. 
16  Sundry  duties  enjoined.  18  Joy  and

GAIN  the  "word  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts  came  to  ^me,  say- 
ing, 

2  Thus  .saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
I  was  ^"''jealous  for  'Zi'on  with 
great  jealou.sy,  and  I  was  jealous 
for  her  with  great  fury. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  T  am 
returned  unto  ^Zi'on,  and  will 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  ''Je-rii'sa- 
lem:  and  Je-ri/sa-lem  shall  be 
called  a  city  of  truth;  and  the 
mountain  of  the  Lord  of  hosts 
the  ''"'holy  mountain. 

4  Thus  ^saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  There  shall  yet  old  men 
and  old  women  dwell  in  the 
streets  of  Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  every 
man  with  his  staff  in  his  hand  for 
*very  age. 

5  And  'the  streets  of  the  city 
shall  l)e  full  of  boys  and  girls 
'playing  in  the  streets  thereof. 

0  Tims  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
If  it  be  marvellous  in  the  eyes  of 
the  remnant  of  this  people  in 
these  days,  should  it  also  be  mar- 
vellous in  mine  eyes  ?  saith  the 
TvORD  of  hosts. 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
Behold,  "'I  will  save  "my  people 
from  the  east  country,  and  from 
the  west  country; 

8  And  "'I  will  "bring  them,  and 
they  shall  dwell  in  the  midst  of 
''Je-rii'sa-lem:  and  "they  shall  be 
my  people,  and  I  will  be  their 


God,  in  truth  and  in  righteous- 
ness. 

9  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  Ivct  your  hands  be  strong, 
ye  that  hear  in  these  days  these 
words  by  the  mouth  of  the 
pro]5hets,  which  were  in  the  day 
that  the  foundation  of  the  ''house 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts  was  laid, 
that  the  ^temple  might  be  built. 

10  For  before  these  days  there 
was  no  hire  for  man,  nor  any 
hire  for  beast;  neither  ivas  there 
any  peace  to  him  that  went  out 
or  came  in  because  of  the  'afflic- 
tion: for  T  set  all  men  every  one 
against  his  neighbour. 

11  But  now  *I  li'ill  not  he  unto 
the  residue  of  this  people  as  in 
the  former  days,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts. 

12  For  2.».^nhe  seed  shall  he 
prosperous;  the  vine  shall  give 
her  fruit,  and  the  ground  shall 
give  her  increase,  and  the  heav- 
ens shall  give  their  dew;  and  "I 
will  cause  the  remnant  of  this 
people  to  ]:)Ossess  all  these  things. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  as  ye  were  a  cur.se  among 
the  ^heathen,  O  house  of  Ju'dah, 
and  house  of  Is'ra-el;  "-'so  will  I 
'"'*save  you,  and  ye  shall  be  a 
blessing:  fear  not,  bnt  let  your 
hands  be  strong. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  As  "'I  thought  to  jiunish 
you,  when  your  fathers  provoked 
me  to  wrath,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  and  I  repented  not: 

15  So  again  have  I  thought  in 
these  days  to  do.  well  unto  "Je- 
n/sa-lem  and  to  the  house  of 
Ju'dah:  fear  ye  not. 

IG  II  These  are  the  ^things  that 
ye  shall  do;  ^-^'"Speak  ye  every 
man  the  *truth  to  his  ''neigh- 
bour; ''•'*•  ^execute  the  ^judgment 
of  truth  and  peace  in  your  "gates:

11  As  for  thee  also,  ■'by  the 
blood  of  thy  covenant  I  have 
''sent  forth  thy  prisoners  out  of

The  punishment  of  the  Jewish  nation.

woe  upon  the  foolish  shepherd. 

OPEN   thy  doors,  O  "Leb'a- 
non,  that  the  fire  may  de- 
vour thy  cedars. 

2  Howl,  fir  tree;  for  the  *cedar 
is  fallen ;  because  the  mighty  are 
spoiled :  howl,  O  ye  oaks  of  '^Ba'- 
sh3,n;  for  the  'forest  of  the  vint- 
age is  come  down. 

3  ^  ^Thcre  is  a  voice  of  the 
howling  of  the  she])herds;  for 
their  glory  is  spoiled:  a  voice  of 


the  roaring  of  young  lions;  for 
the  pride  of  Jor'dan  is  spoiled. 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  my 
God;  ^Feed  the  flock  of  the 
slaughter; 

5  Whose  possessors  slay  them, 
and  hold  themselves  not  guilty: 
and  ^they  that  sell  them  say, 
Blessed  be  the  Lord;  for  1  am 
rich:  and  their  own  shepherds 
pity  them  not. 

6  For  I  will  no  more  "pity  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  saith  the 
Lord:  but,  lo,  I  will  deliver  the 
men  every  one  into  his  neigh- 
bour's hand,  and  into  the  hand 
of  his  king:  and  ''they  shall  smite 
the  land,  and  out  of  their  hand  *I 
will  not  deliver  ihem. 

7  ^And  I  Vill  feed  the  flock  of 
slaughter,  even  you,  O  poor  of 
the  flock.  And  I  took  unto  me 
''■^two  staves;  the  one  I  called 
Beauty,  and  the  other  I  called 
Bands;  and  I  fed  the  flock. 

8  Three  shepherds  also  I  cut 
off  in  one  month;  and  my  soul 
lothed  them,  and  their  soul  also 
abhorred  me. 

9  Then  said  I,  1  will  not  feed 
you:  that  that  dieth,  let  it  die; 
and  that  that  is  to  be  cut  off, 
let  it  be  cut  off;  and  let  the 
rest  eat  every  one  the  flesh  of 
another. 

10  T[  And  I  took  my  staff,  even 
Beauty,  and  'cut  it  asunder,  that 
I  might  break  my  covenant 
which  I  had  made  with  all  the 
^people. 

11  And  it  was  broken  in  that 
day:  and  so  the  poor  of  the 
flock  that  waited  upon  me  knew 
that  it  was  the  word  of  the 
Lord. 

12  And  I  said  unto  them.  If  ye 
think  good,  give  me  my  *|3rice; 
and  if  not,  forbear.  "'•"•"So  they 
weighed  for  my  price  thirty 
pieces  of  ^•'silver. 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
me,  Cast  it  unto  the  ''•'potter:  a

CHAPTER  12 

Jerusalem  a  cup  of  trembling  and  a  burden- 
some stone  to  her  adversaries  6  The 
restoration  of  Judah.  9  Tlie  repentance 
of  Jerusalem. 

THE  "burden  of  the  word  of 
the  Lord  for  Ts'ra-el,  saith 
tlie  Lord,  *which  stretcheth 
forth  the  "heavens,  and  layeth 
the  foundation  of  the  ''earth,  and 
formeth  the  spirit  of  ''man  within 
him. 

2  Behold.  I  will  make  'Je-ni'- 
sa-lem  a  cup  of  Hrembling  unto 
all  the  ^people  round  about, 
^when  they  shall  be  in  the  siege 
both  against  Ju'dah  and  against 
Je-rii'sa-lem. 

3  And  in  that  day  will  I  make 
'Je-ru'sa-lrin  a  bunlensome  stone 
for  all  ^people:  all  that  burden 
themselves  with  it  shall  be  *cut 


in  pieces,  though  all  the  people 
of  the  earth  be  gathered  together 
against  it. 

4  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord, 
I  will  smite  every  horse  with  as- 
tonishment, and  his  rider  with 
"madness:  and  I  will  open  mine 
eyes  u|)on  the  house  of  Ju'dah, 
and  will  smite  every  horse  of  the 
^people  with  blindness. 

5  And  the  ^governors  of  Ju'dah 
shall  say  in  their  heart.  The  in- 
habitants of  Je-rii'sa-lem  ^shall 
he  my  strength  in  the  Lord  of 
hosts  their  God. 

6  Li  that  day  will  I  make  the 
"^governors  of  Ju'dah  like  ^an 
hearth  of  fire  among  the  wood, 
and  like  a  torch  of  fire  in  a  sheaf; 
and  they  shall  devour  all  the 
^people  round  about,  on  the 
right  hand  and  on  the  left:  and 
'Je-rii's?i-lem  shall  be  inhabited 
again  in  her  own  place,  even  in 
Je-ni'sa-lem. 

7  The  Lord  also  shall  save  the 
tents  of  Ju'dah  first,  that  the 
glory  of  the  house  of  ''Da'vid 
and  the  glory  of  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-rii'sa-lein  do  not  magnify 
themselves  against  Ju'dah. 

8  *In  that  day  shall  the  Lord 
'defend  the  inhabitants  of  'Je- 
rii'sa-lem;  and  he  that  is  feeble 
among  them  at  that  day  shall  be 
as  Da'vid ;  and  the  house  of  Da'- 
vid  shall  he  as  God,  as  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  l>efore  them. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  I  will  seek  to  de- 
stroy all  the  nations  that  come 
against  Je-ru'sri-lem. 

10  And  I  will  pour  upon  the 
house  of  ''Da'vid,  and  upon  the 
inhabitants  of  'Je-rii'sa-lem,  the 
'^spirit  of  grace  and  of  'sup- 
plications: and  '"•''•  "they  shall

of  idolatry  and  false  prophets.  7  The 
smiting  of  the  Shepherd,  and  the  salvation 
of  a  third  part  of  the  people. 

IN  that  day  there  shall  be  a 
*'"'''''^''^' ''fountain  opened  to 
the  house  of  Da'vid  and  to  the 
inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  ''for 
sin  and  for  ^uncleanness. 

2  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
that  ''I  will  cut  off  the  names  of 
the  idols  out  of  the  land,  and  they 
shall  no  more  be  remembered: 
and  also  I  will  cause  the  ^-'proph- 
ets  and  the  unclean  spirit  to  pass 
out  of  the  land. 

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
when  *any  shall  yet  prophesy, 
then  his  father  and  his  mother  i 


that  begat  him  shall  say  unto 
him,  Thou  shalt  not  live;  for 
thou  spcakest  lies  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord:  and  his  father  and 
his  mother  that  begat  him  shall 
thrust  him  through  when  he 
prophesieth. 

4  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  the  prophets  shall 
be  ashamed  every  one  of  his  vi- 
sion, when  he  hath  prophesied; 
neither  shall  they  wear  a  h-ough 
garment  to  deceive: 

5  But  he  shall  say,  I  am  no 
prophet,  I  am'^a.n  husbandman; 
for  'man  taught  me  to  keej:) 
cattle  from  my  youth. 

6  And  one  shall  say  unto  him, 
What  are  these  wounds  ''in  thine 
hands  ?  Tlien  he  shall  ^answer, 
Those  with  which  I  was  wound- 
ed in  the  house  of  my  ^friends. 

7  T[  Awake,  O  "'sword,  against 
my  "sliepherd,  and  against  the 
man  that  is  my  fellow,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts:  "•"•'smite  the 
'■•''shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall 
be  scattered:  and  I  will  turn 
mine  hand  upon  the  little  ones. 

8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  in  all  the  land,  saith  the 
Lord,  two  parts  therein  shall 
be  'cut  off  and  die;  but  the 
third  shall  be  left  therein. 

9  And  "I  will  bring  the  third 
part  through  the  fire,  and  will 
refine  them  as  ^'silver  is  refined, 
and  will  ""try  them  as  ^gold  is 
tried:  ^they  shall  call  on  my

3  T[  Then  shall  the  Lord  go 
forth,  and  fight  against  those  na- 
tions, as  when  he  fought  in  the 
day  of  battle. 

4  And  his  feet  shall  stand  in 
that  day  upon  the  mount  of  '^Ol'- 
ives,  which  is  before  ''Je-rii'sa- 
lem  on  the  east,  and  the  mount 
of  Ol'ives  shall  cleave  in  the 
midst  thereof  toward  the  east 
and  toward  the  west,  and  there 
.shall  be  a  very  great  valley;  and 
half  of  the  mountain  shall  re- 
move toward  the  north,  and  half 
of  it  to->vard  the  south. 

5  And  ye  shall  flee  lo  tlic  valley 
of  the  mountains;  for  the  valley 
of  the  mountains  shall  reach  un- 
to A'zal:  yea,  ye  shall  (lee,  like  as 
ye  fled  from  before  the  ^earth- 
fjuake  in  the  days  of  ^Cz-zl'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah:  and  the  Lord 
my  God  shall  come,  a7id  all  the 
^saints  with  thee. 

6  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  "day,  ihaf  the  light  shall  not 
be  clear,  nor  dark: 

7  But  it  shall  be  one  day  which 
shall  be  known  to  the  Lord,  not 
day,  nor  niglit:  but  'it  siiall  come 
to  pass,  that  at  evening  time  it 
shall  be  light. 

8  And  ™it  shall  be  in  that  day, 


that  living  "'"waters  shall  go  out 
from  '^Je-rii'sa-lem;  half  of  them 
toward  the  ^' ^former  sea,  and 
half  of  them  toward  the  ^-'hin- 
der  sea :  in  summer  and  in  winter 
shall  it  be. 

9  And  the  Lord  shall  be  ''king 
over  *all  the  earth:  in  that  day 
shall  there  be  one  Lord,  and  his 
name  one. 

10  All  the  land  shall  be  turned 
as  ^a  plain  from  'Ge'ba  to  *RTm'- 
mon  south  of  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and 
it  shall  be  lifted  up,  and  inhab- 
ited in  her  place,  from  Ben'ja- 
min's  "gate  unto  the  place  of 
the  first  "gate,  unto  the  corner 
"gate,  and  from  the  ^' '"tower  of 
Hri-nan'e-el  unto  the  king's  wine- 
presses. 

11  And  men  shall  dwell  in  it, 
and  there  shall  be  no  more  ^utter 
destruction;  but  "^Je-ru'sa-lem 
shall  be  safely  inhabited. 

12  ^  And  this  shall  be  the 
^plague  wherewith  the  Lord 
will  smite  all  the  "people  that 
have  fought  against  Je-ru'sa- 
lem;  2/Their  flesh  sliall  consume 
away  while  they  stand  upon  their 
feet,  and  their  eyes  shall  con- 
sume away  in  their  holes,  and 
their  tongue  shall  consume  away 
in  their  mouth. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  a  great  tumult 
from  the  Lord  shall  be  among 
them;  and  they  shall  lay  hold 
every  one  on  the  hand  of  his 
neighbour,  and  his  hand  shall 
rise  up  against  the  hand  of  his 
neiglibour. 

14  And  Ju'dah  also  shall  fight 
^at  Je-rii'sa-lem;  and  the  wealth 
of  all  the  ''heathen  round  about 
shall  be  gathered  together,  gold, 
and  silver,  and  aj)j)arel,  in  great 
abundance. 

15  And  so  shall  be  the  ^i)lague

God  that  he  will  be  gracious  un- 
to us:  this  hath  been  by  your 
means:  "'will  he  regard  your  per-

fire  on  mine  altar  for  nought.  ''I 
have  no  pleasure  in  you,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  ^neither  will 
I  accept  an  offering  at  your 
hand. 

11  For  from  the  rising  of  the 
sun  even  unto  the  going  down  of 
the  same  my  name  ^shall  he 
ffreat  amongf  the  Gcn'tlles;  and 
in  every  place  ^incense  ^shall 
he  offered  unto  my  name,  and 
a  pure  offering:  for  my  name 
^shall  he  great  among  the  hea- 
then, saith  the  IvORD  of  hosts. 

12  ^  But  ye  have  profaned  it,  in 
tliat  ye  ^say,  The  table  of  the 
Lord?.?  polluted;  and  the  fruit 
thereof,  even  his  meat,  is  con- 
temptible. 

13  Ye  ^said  also.  Behold,  what 
a  weariness  is  it\  and  ye  have 
snuffed  at  it,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  and  ye  brought  that  ivhicli 
iras  ''torn,  and  the  "lame,  and 
the  sick;  thus  ye  '^brought  an 
''offering:  should  I  accept  this  of 
your  hand  ?  saith  the  Lord. 

14  But  cursed  he  the  deceiver, 
which  hath  in  his  flock  a  male, 
and  S'oweth,  and  sacrificeth  un- 
to the  Lord  a  \'orru])t  thing:  for 
''I  am  a  great  King,  saith  the 


Lord  of  hosts,  and  my  name  ?.s- 
dreadful  among  the  '•'heathen. 

CHAPTER  2 

The  priests  reproved  for  neglecting  their 
covenant;  11  and  also  the  people  for  their 
idolatry,  14  adultery,  17  and  perverse 
ness. 

AND  now,  O  ye  ''[)riests,  this 
*'  ''commandment  is  for  you. 

2  "^If  ye  will  not  hear,  and  if  ye 
will  not  lay  it  to  heart,  to  give 
'^glory  imto  my  name,  saith  tiie 
Lord  of  hosts,  T  will  even  send 
a  curse  upon  you,  and  I  will 
curse  your  blessings :  yea,  I  have 
cursed  them  already,  because  ye 
do  not  lay  it  to  heart. 

3  Behold,  I  will  'corrupt  your 
seed,  and  spread  dung  upon 
your  faces,  even  tiie  dung  of  your 
solemn  feasts ;  and  one  shall  take 
you  away  with  it. 

4  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  have 
sent  this  ^''^commandment  unto 
you,  that  my  "covenant  might  be 
with  *Le'vI,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

5  INIy  "covenant  was  with  ''him 
of  life  and  peace;  and  I  gave 
them  to  him  ^jor  the  fear  where- 
with he  ^feared  me,  and  was 
afraid  before  my  name. 

6  ^The  law  of  truth  was  in  his 
mouth,  and  initpiity  was  not 
found  in  his  lips:  he  walked  with 
me  in  peace  and  ^ecjuity,  and 
*'Mid  turn  many  away  from  in- 
iquity. 

7  For  '"'"the  priest's  li])s  .should 
keep  "knowledge,  and  'they 
should  seek  the  law  at  his  mouth : 
for  he  is  ^the  messenger  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

8  But  'ye  are  ''departed  out  of 
the  way;  ye  have  "caused  many 
to  stumble  at  the  'law;  ye  have 
corrupted  the  "covenant  of  "Le'- 
vl,  saith  the  IvOrd  of  hosts. 

9  Therefore  have  I  also  "made 
you  contemptible  and  base  be- 
fore all  the  people,  according  as 
ye  have  "not  kept  my  ways,  but 
have  ^been  partial  in  the  law.

10  Have  we  not  "'all  one  father  ? 
hath  not  one  God  ^created  ^us  ? 
why  do  we  deal  treacherously 
every  man  agauist  hi.s  brother, 
by  profaning  the  covenant  of  our 
fathers? 

11  ^  Ju'dah  hath  dealt  treach- 
erously, and  an  abomination  is 
committed  in  Is'ra-el  and  in  J6- 
ni'sa-lem;  for  Ju'dah  %ath  pro- 
faned the  holiness  of  the  Lord 
which  he  loved,  and  hath  "^mar- 
ried  the  daughter  of  a  strange 
god. 

12  The  Lord  will  *cut  off  ^the 
man  that  doeth  this,  the  master 
and  the  scholar,  out  of  the  taber- 
nacles of  Ja'cob,  and  '^him  that 
"^offereth  an  offering  unto  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

13  And  this  have  '^ye  done 
again,  covering  the  *altar  of  the 
Lord  with  tears,  with  weeping, 
and  with  crying  out,  insomuch 
that  he  regardeth  not  the  ^offer- 
ing any  more,  or  receiveth  it  with 
good  will  at  your  hand. 

14  'Yet  ye  say,  Wlierefore  ? 
Because  the  Lord  hath  "been 
witness  between  thee  and  the  wife 
of  thy  youth,  against  whom  thou 
hast  dealt  ''treacherously:  yet  is 
she  thy  companion,  and  the  wife 
of  thy  covenant. 

15  And  did  not  he  make  one  ? 
Yet  had  he  the  residue  of  the  spirit. 
And  wherefore  one?  That  he 
might  seek  a  godly  seed.  There- 
fore *take  heed  to  your  spirit, 
and  let  none  deal  treacherously 
against  the  wife  of  his  youth. 

16  For  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  saith  that  he  %ateth 
^putting  away :  ^f or  one  covereth 
violence  with  his  garment,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts:  therefore 
Hake  heed  to  your  spirit,  that  ye 
deal  not  treacherously. 

17  T[  Ye  have  wearied  the  Lord 
with  your  words,  ^et  ye  say, 
^Vlierein  have  we  wearied  him  ? 
\Mien  ye  '•'"say.  Every  one  that 


doeth  evil  is  good  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  and  he  delighteth  in 
them;  or,  "^ Where  is  the  God  of 
judgment? 

CHAPTER  3 

The  messenger  of  the  covenant  coming  to  his 
temple.  7  The  rebellion,  8  sacrilege,  13 
and  perverseness  of  the  people.  16  The 
promise  of  blessing  to  t',iem  that  fear  God. 

"■pEHOLD,  "•'^I  will  send  my 
X-)  ''-''messenger,  and  he  shall 
prepare  the  way  before  me:  and 
the  T^ord,  whom  ye  seek,  shall 
suddenly  come  to  his  ^temple, 
even  tiie  messenger  of  the  cove- 
nant, whom  ye  delight  in:  be- 
hold, he  shall  come,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

2  But  ''who  may  abide  the  day 
of  his  coming  ?  and  who  shall 
stand  when  he  appeareth  ?  for  he 
is  like  a  ^''refiner's  fire,  and  like 
^fullers'  sope: 

3  And  ''he  shall  sit  as  a  "^^ •^refiner 
and  purifier  of  'silver:  and  he 
shall  "''"purify  the  "sons  of  Le'vl, 
and  purge  them  as  ^gold  and  sil- 
ver, that  they  may  ^offer  unto  the 
Lord  an  ''offering  in  *righteous- 
ness. 

4  Then  shall  the  offering  of  Ju'- 
dah and  Je-rvi'sa-lem  be  pleasant 
unto  the  Lord,  as  in  the  days 
of  old,  and  as  in  former  years. 

5  And  'I  will  come  near  to  you 
to  judgment;  and  I  will  be  a 
swift  witness  against  the  "sorcer- 
ers, and  against  the  ''adulterers, 
and  against  "'false  swearers,  and 
against  ^those  that  ^oppress  the 
^•"hireling  in  his  *wages,  the 
''widow,  and  the  ''fatherless,  and 
that  turn  aside  the  ^stranger /rom 
his  right,  and  'fear  not  me,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

6  For  I  am  the  Lord,  ''I  change 
not;  therefore  ye  sons  of  Ja'cob 
''are  not  consumed. 

7  TI  Even  from  the  days  of  your

8  If  *WilI  a  man  rob  God?  Yet 
ye  have  robl)ed  me.  But  ye  'say, 
Wherein  have  we  robbed  thee  ? 
In  "tithes  and  "offerings. 

9  ''Ye  are  cursed  with  a  cursi': 
for  ye  have  robbed  me,  even  this 
whole  nation. 

10  «• ''Bring  ye  ^all  the  "tithes

that  there  sJutll  not  be  room

11  And  I  will  rebuke  the  de-

shall  not  destroy  the  fruits  of 
your  ground;  neither  shall  your 
vine  cast  her  fruit  before  the

of  hosts. 

12  And  all  nations  shall  call  you

be  the  'Son  of  God,  '"cast  thyself 
down :  for  it  is  written,"'  "He  shall 
givehis  ^angels  charge  concerning 
thee :  and  in  iheirhands  they  shall 
bear  thee  np,lest  at  any  time  thou 
dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

7  Je'sus  said  unto  him,  It  is 
written  again,  **Tliou  shalt  not 
tempt  the  Lord  thy  God. 

8  Again,  the  *devil  taketh 
him  up  into  an  exceeding  high 
''mountain,  and  sheweth  him  all 
the  kingdoms  of  the  world,  and 
the  glory  of  them; 

9  And  saith  unto  him,  *A11  these 
things  Avill  I  give  thee,  if  thou 
wilt  fall  down  and  worship  *me. 

10  Then  saith  Je'.sus  unto  him, 
'Get  thee  hence,  *Sa'tan:  for  it 
is  Avritten,  "-"Thou  shalt  "'wor- 
ship the  Lord  thy  God,  and  him 
only  shalt  thou  serve. 

1 1  Then  the  *devil  leaveth  him, 
and,  behokl,  ^angels  came  and 
ministered  unto  him. 

12  ^  Now  when  Je'.sus  had 
heard  that  ^John  was  ^cast  into 
^prison,  ^lie  departed  into  "Gal'- 
i-lee ; 

13  And  leaving  *Na.z'a-reth,  "^he 
came  and  dwelt  in  ''Ca-per'na- 
fnn,  which  is  upon  the  sea  coast, 


in  the  borders  of  *Zab'u-l6n  and 
^Neph'tha-hni: 

14  That  "it  might  be  fulfilled 
which  was  spoken  by  '']E-sa'ias 
the  prophet,  saving, 

15  'The  land  of  "^Zab'u-lSn,  and 
the  land  of  ''Neph'tha-lim,  by  the

16  The  '^people  which  sat  in 
'darkness  '"saw  great  "light;  anil 
to  them  which  sat  in  the  re- 
gion and  shadow  of  death  light 
is  sprung  up. 

17  From  that  time  Je'sus  began 
to  "preach,  and  to  say,  ^•''Re- 
pent: for  the  '^kingdom  of  heaven 
is  at  hand. 

18  ^  And  Je'.sus,  walking  by 
the  ^sea  of  Gal'i-lee,  saw  two

CHAPTER  5 

The  sermon  on  the  mount:  3  The  beatitudes. 
13  J'he  disciples  of  Jesus  are  the  salt  of 
the  en  rill  and  the  light  of  the  world.  17 
Jesus  came  not  to  destroy  the  law,  but  to 
fulfill  it.  21  //(•  compares  the  teachings  of 
the  lav)  of  Moses  with  the  Gospel  message 
with  reference  to  killing,  27  to  adultery, 
31  to  divorce,  33  to  swearing,  38  to  re- 
taliation, 43  and  to  love  of  enemies. 

AND  seeing   the    multitudes, 
"he    went     up     into     a 
''mountain:  and    when   he   Avas 


set,    his    '^disciples    came    unto 
him : 

2  And  "he  opened  his  mouth, 
and  '^taught  them,  ^saying,

Where  our  treasure  is  to  he  laid  up.  24 
Xo  man  can  serve  tu'o  masters.  25  Anx- 
iety about  worldly  things  forbidden.  33 
The  kingdom  of  God  to  be  first  sought. 


"•'-rrAKE  heed  that  ye  do  not 
'  J-  your  '■''■^■'alms  before 
men,  ''to  be  seen  of  them :  other- 
wise ye  have  no  reward  of  your 
Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

2  "•''Therefore  ''when  thou  Mo- 
est  thine  alms,  do  not  sound  a 
''trumpet  before  thee,  as  the 
'hypocrites  do  in  the  'syna- 
gogues and  in  the  streets,  ^that 
they  may  have  glory  of  men. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  They 
-have   their  reward. 

3  "But  "when  thou  'doest 
*alms,  ^'let  not  thy  left  hand 
know  what  thy  right  hand  doeth : 

4  That  thine  alms  may  be  in 
secret:  and  thy  'Father  which 
'"seeth  in  secret  himself  "shall 
reward  "thee  ^openly. 

5  ^  And  when  thou  prayest, 
thou  shalt  not  be  as  the  'hypo- 
crites are :  for  they  love  to  ^pray 
standing  in  the  'synagogues  and 
in  the  corners  of  the  streets,  ^that 
they  may  be  seen  of  men.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  They  ^have  their 
reward. 

6  But  thou,  when  thou  '•  ''pray- 
est, *enter  into  thy  closet,  and 
when  thou  hast  shut  thy  door, 
pray  to  thy  'Father  which  is  in 
secret;  'and  thy  Father  which 
'"seeth  in  secret  shall  reward 
"thee  ^openly. 

7  But  when  ye  "pray,  "use  not 
vain  repetitions,  as  the  ^-'"hea- 
then do:  for  they  think  that  they 
shall  be  heard  for  their  much 
speaking.

8  Be  not  ye  therefore  like  unto 
"'them :  for  your  '-  ^Father  know- 
eth  what  things  ye  have  need  of, 
before  ye  ask  him. 

9  ^After  this  manner  therefore 
^prayye :  Our°Fatherwhichartin

10  ''Thy  kingdom  come.  ''Thy 
''will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in

^For  ''thine  is  the  kingdom,  and 
the  ^power,  and  the  'glory,  for

14  For  if  ye  ''-'"forgive  hnen

"^•"Father  "will  also  ^forgive 
you : 

15  But  if  ye  ''-^forgive  not  men 
their  trespasses,  neither  will  your 
Father  forgive  your  trespasses. 

16  ^  iMoreover  when  ye  *fast, 
''be  not,  as  the  ^hypocrites,  of  a 
sad  'countenance:  for  they  dis- 
figure their  faces,  ''that  they  may 
appear  unto  men  to  fast.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you.  They  have  their 
reward. 

17  But  thou,  when  thou  '^fast- 
est, ^anoint  thine  head,  and 
'"wash   thy   face ; 

18  That  thou  appear  not  unto

CHAPTER    7 

Tftp  sermon  on  the  mount  concluded:  Jiash 
judgment  reproved.  6  Holy  things  not 
to  be  given  to  dogs.  7  The  duty  and 
efficacy  of  prayer.  13  The  strait  gate. 
15  Kalse  prophets.  24  The  house  built 
upon  a  rock,  or  upon  the  sand. 

^•''TUDGE  not,  that  ye  be  not 
&.cj      judged. 

2  For  with  what  judgment  ye 
judge,  ye  shall  l)c  judged:  and 
''with  what  measure  ye  mete,  it 
shall  be  measuretl  to  you  ^again. 

3  *-/And  Vhy  "beholdest  thou 
the  mote  that  is  in  thy  brother's 
''eye,  but  considerest  not  the 
'beam  that  is  in  thine  own 
eye? 

4  ^Or  how  wilt  thou  say  to  thy 
brother,  ^-"Ivet  me  -pull  out  the 
mote  out  of  thine  ''eye;  and,  be- 
hold, a  'beam  is  in  thine  own 
e}e? 

5  ^'^Thou  'hypocrite,  first  cast 
out  the  *beam  out  of  thine  own 
''eye;  and  then  shalt  thou  see 
clearly  to  cast  out  the  mote  out 
of  thy  brother's  eye. 

G  ^  ^Give  not  that  which  is  holy 
unto  the  '-'"dogs,  neither  cast  ye 
your  "pearls  before  "swine,  lest 
they  trample  them  imder  their 
feet,  and  turn  again  and  rend 
you. 

^  7  11  ^•"•'Ask,  and  ^t  shall  be 
given  'you;  seek,  and  *-"-*' ye 
shall  find;  knock,  and  *it  shall 
be  opened  unto  you: 

8  For  '^evcry  one  that  *'*a.sketh 
receiveth;  and  he  that  "seeketh 
findeth;  and  to  him  that  knock- 
eth  *'''it  shall  Ik;  opened. 

9  Or  what  man  is  there  of  you, 
whom  if  "'his  son  ask  ^bread, 
will  he  cive  him  a  stone  ? 


10  Or  if  he  ask  a  "Mi,  will  he 
give  him  a  ^serpent  ? 

11  If  "ye  then,  being  evil,  know 
how  to  give  good  gifts  imto  your 
children,  ''how  mucii  more  shall 
your  '^•''Father  which  is  in  heav- 
en give  good  things  to  them  that 
ask  him  ? 

12  ^"'Therefore  all  things 
^whatsoever  ye  would  that  men 
should  do  to  you,  ''do  ye  even  so 
to  'them :  for  tliis  is  the  ^law  and 
the  prophets. 

13  ^  ^''Enter  ye  in  at  the  ^sti'ait

14  ^Because  strait  is  the  "'gate,

not  forth  good  fruit  is  'hewn 
down,  and  'cast  into  the  fire. 

20  Wherefore  by  tlieir  fruits 
ye  shall  know  them. 

21  T[  ^'Not  every  one  that 
'saith  unto  me,  '"Lord,  Lord, 
shall  enter  into  the  "kingdom 
of  heaven;  but  he  that  "doeth 
the  ^will  of  my  Father  which 
is  in  heaven. 

22  Many  will  say  to  me 
in  *that  day.  Lord,  Lord, 
''have  we  not  prophesied  in 
thy  name  ?  and  in  thy  name 
have  cast  out  devils?  and  in 
thy  name  done  many  ^won- 
derful  *works  ? 

23  And  then  will  I  profess  unto 
them,  I  never  knew  you:  '''de- 
part from  me,  ye  that  work 
iniquity. 

24  t  Therefore  «•"■^vhoso- 
ever  '''heareth  these  ^sajings  of 
mine,  and  "■  ^doeth  them,  ^I  will 
"liken  him  unto  a  *wise  man, 
which  built  his  house  upon  a 
'^rock : 

25  And  the  ''•^rain  descended, 
and  the  floods  came,  and  the

26  And  every  one  that  hear-

27  And  the  '^•^rain  descended, 
and  the  floods  came,  and  the 
%inds  blew,  and  beat  upon  that 
house;  and  it  'fell:  and  great  was 
the  fall  of  it. 

28  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
*  Je'.sus  had  ended  these  sayings, 
the  '^people  were  astonished  at 
his  doctrine: 

29  For  ^he  taught  them  as  one 
having  authority,  and  not  as  the

CHAPTER  8 


A  leper  cleansed.  5  The  healing  of  the 
centurion's  servant,  14  also  of  Peter's 
wife's  mother  and  many  others.  18  How 
Jesus  must  be  followed.  23  He  stills  the 
tempest;  28  and  heals  tiro  men  possessed 
with  devils.  31  The  dei'ils  enter  into  a 
herd  of  swine. 


WHEN  he  was  come  down 
from  the  mountain,  "great 
multitutles  followed  him. 

2  ''And,  behold,  there  came  a 
''leper  and  '^worshipped  him, 
saying,  *Lord,  if  thou  wilt,  thou 
canst  make  me  clean. 

3  And  ''■^Je'sus  put  forth  his 
hand,  and  touched  him,  saying, 
I  will;  be  thou  clean.  And 
immediately  his  '^•''lepro.sy  was 
cleansed. 

4  And  Je'sus  saith  unto  him, 
'See  thou  tell  no  man;  but  go  thy 
way,  'shew  thyself  to  the  priest, 
and  ^offer  the  gift  that  Mo'.ses 
commanded,  for  a  testimony  un- 
to them. 

5  T[  'And  when  Je'sus  was  en- 
tered into  '"Ca-per'na-um,  there 
*came  unto  him  a  *centurion, 
"beseeching   him, 

6  And  '^saying,  Lord,  my  "serv- 
ant lieth  'at  home  sick  of  the  I 
^palsy,  grievously  tormented. 

7  And  Je'.sus  saith  unto  him,  *I 
will  come  and  heal  him. 

8  The  centurion  answered  and 
said,  Lord,  I  am  ''not  worthy  that 
thou  shouldest  come  under  my 
roof:  but  speak  the  word  only, 
and  my  "servant  shall  be  healed. 

9  For  I  am  a  man  under  au- 
thority, having  'soldiers  under 
me :  and  I  say  to  this  mmi,  Go, 
and  he  goeth;  and  to  another. 
Come,  and  he  cometh;  and  to 
my  servant,  Do  this,  and  he  do- 
eth it. 

10  When  Je'sus  heard  if,  he 
marvelled,  and  said  to  them  that 
followed.  Verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
I  have  not  found  so  great  '^faith, 
no,  not  in  Is'ra-el.

11  And  I  say  unto  you,  That 
'many  shall  come  from  the  east 
and  west,  and  shall  sit  down 
with  "A'bra-ham,  and  ^I'saac, 
and  "'Ja'cob,  in  the  ^-  ^kingdom 
of  heaven. 

12  But  the  -'children  of  the 
kingdom  shall  be  "cast  out  into 
*outer  Markncss:  there  shall  be 
'^•'^weeping  and  ^gnashing  of 
teeth. 

13  And  ''Je'sus  said  unto  the 
*centurion,  Go  thy  way;  and 
as  thou  hast  ''believed,  so  be  it 
done  unto  thee.  And  his  'serv- 
ant was  '•  ^healed  in  the  selfsame 
hour. 

IJ:  ^  'And  when  Je'sus  was 
come  into  "Te'ter's  house,  he 
saw  his  "wife's  mother  -laid,  and 
sick  of  a  "fever. 

15  And  he  touched  her  hand, 
and  the  fever  'left  her:  and 
she  arose,  and  ministered  unto 
^them. 

16  T[  When  the  even  was  come, 
they  brought  unto  him  many 
that  were  ^possessed  with  dev- 
ils: and  he  'cast  out  the  spirits 
with  his  word,  and  ''healed  all 
that  were  ^sick: 

17  That  ^it  might  be  fulfilled 
which  was  spoken  by  *]^-.sa'ias 
the  'prophet,  saying,  "■  "•"'Him- 
self took  our  '^infirmities,  and 
bare  our  sicknesses. 

18  ^  Now  when  Je'sus  saw 
■'^great  multitudes  about  him,  he 
gave  commandment  to  depart 
unto  the  other  side. 

19  And  ^a,  certain  ^scribe  came, 
and  said  unto  him,  "INIaster,  *I 
will  follow  thee  whithersoever 
thou  goest. 

20  And  Je'sus  saith  unto  him, 
'^The  '^foxes  have  holes,  and  the 
''birds  of  the  air  have  nests;  but 
the  Son  of  man  hath  not  where 
to  lay  his  head.

said  unto  him,  Lord,  ''■"suffer

father, 

22  But  Je'sus  said  unto  him, 
*' 'Follow  me;  and  let  the  dead 
bury  Hheir  dead. 

23  Tl  i\.nd  when  he  was  entered 
into  a  ^ship,  his  'disciples  fol- 
lowed him, 

24  And,  behold,  there  arose  a 
great  ^''"tempest  in  the  "sea,  in- 
somuch that  the  '^'ship  was  cov- 
ered with  the  waves :  but  he  was 
asleep. 

25  And  his  'disciples  came  to 
him,  and  awoke  him,  "saying, 
Lord,  save  us:  ^-'we  perish. 

26  And  he  saith  unto  them. 
Why  are  ye  ''fearful,  O  ye  of  ''lit- 
tle *faith  ?  Then  'he  arose,  and 
rebuked  the  winds  and  the  sea; 
and  ^' "there  was  a  great  calm. 

27  But  the  ^men  marvelled,  say- 
ing. What  manner  of  man  is 
this,  that  even  the  winds  and 
the  sea  '-"obey  "him! 

28  \  ""And  when  he  was  come 
to  the  other  side  into  the  country 
of  the  ^Ger'ge-senes,  there  met 
him  two  possessed  with  ^devils, 
coming  out  of  the  "tombs,  ex- 
ceeding fierce,  so  that  no  man 
^might  pass  by  that  way. 

29  And,  behold,  ^they  cried 
out,  saying.  What  have  we  to  do 
with  thee,  ''■^Je'sus,  thou  Son  of 
God  ?  art  thou  come  hither  to 
torment  us  before  the  time  ? 

30  And  there  was  a  good  way 
off  from  them  an  herd  of  many 
"swine  feeding,    . 

31  So  the  ''devils  besought  him, 
saying,  If  thou  cast  us  out,  suiF(>r 
us  to  go  away  into  the  herd  of 
"swine. 

32  iVnd  he  said  unto  them,  Go. 
And  ''when  they  were  come  out, 
they  went  into  the  herd  of 
''swine:  and,  behold,  the  whole 
herd  of  swine  ran  violently  down

CHAPTER  9 

Jesus  heals  one  sick  of  the  palsy;  9  calls 
Matthew;  10  eats  ivith  publicans  and  sin- 
ners; 14  and  justifies  liis  disciples  in  not 
fasting.  18  -4  ruler  entreats  him.  20  He 
heals  an  Issue  of  blood;  23  raises  the  ru- 
ler's daughter;  27  gives  sight  to  tiro  blind 
men;  32  heals  a  dumb  man  posstssed  with 
a  devil;  36  and  lias  compassion  on  the 
multitude. 

AND  he  entered  into  a  ship, 
and  passed  over,  and  came 
into  his  own  "city. 

2  And,  behold,  they  ^brought 
to  him  a  man  sick  of  the  '^palsy, 
lying  on  a  bed:  and  '^Je'.sus  see- 
ing their  ''faith  said  unto  the  sick 
of  the  palsy;  Son,  be  of  good 
cheer;  thy  sins  be  ^-^forgiven 
thee. 

3  And,  behold,  certain  of  the 
^scribes  said  within  themselves. 
This  man  ^blasphemeth. 

4  And  Je'.sus  ''^knowing  their 
thoughts  said,  Wherefore  think 
ye  evil  in  your  hearts  ? 

5  For  whether  is  easier,  to  say. 
Thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee;  or  to 
say,  Arise,  and  walk  ? 

6  But  ^that  ye  may  know  that 
the  Son  of  man  hath  'power  on 
earth  to  ^forgive  sins,  (then 
saith  he  to  the  sick  of  the  '^pal- 
sy,) Arise,  take  up  thy  bed,  and 
go  unto  thine  house. 

7  And  ^'  ^he  arose,  and  departed 
to  his  house. 

8  'But  when  the  multitudes  saw 
it,  they  ^marvelled,  and  "'glori- 


fied God,  which  had  given  such 
power  unto  men. 

9  T[  And  as  Je'.sus  passed  forth 
from  thence,  he  saw  a  man, 
named  *Mjit'thew,  sitting  at 
the  ^receipt  of  custom:  and  "he 
saith  unto  "him,  ^'^FoUow  me. 
And  '■'*'he  arose,  and  followed 
him. 

10  ^  "And  it  came  to  pass, 
as  "Je'.sus  sat  at  meat  in  the 
house,  behold,  many  '"pu!4icans 
and  sinners  came  and  sat  down 
with  him  and  his  disciples. 

11  And  when  the  ^Phar'i-sees 
saw  it,  ^'^they  said  unto  his  dis- 
ciples. Why  eateth  your  ^^laster 
with  ""publicans  and  sinners  ? 

12  But  when  Je'.sus  heard  tliat, 
he  said  unto  them.  They  that  be 
"■''whole  need  not  a  physician, 
but  they  that  are  sick. 

13  But  go  ye  and  learn  what 
that  meaneth,  "^I  will  have 
'^■'niercy,  and  not  ^sacrifice: 
for  ''I  am  not  come  to  call  the 
"•"righteous,  but  sinners  ^to  '^re- 
pentance. 

14  ^  Then  came  to  him  the 
^disciples  of  '^John,  saying,  Why 
do  we  and  the  Thar'i-sees  *^fast 
oft,  but  thy  disciples  fast  not  ? 

15  And  Je'sus  said  unto  them, 
Can  the  children  of  the  bride- 
chamber  mourn,  as  long  as  the 
'bridegroom  is  with  them  ?  but 
the  days  will  come,  when  the 
bridegroom  shall  be  taken  from 
them,  and  then  shall  they  *fast.

lowed him,  and  so  did  his  "dis- 
ciples. 

20  T[  And,  behold,  a  woman, 
which  was  ''diseased  with  an 
^•" issue  of  blood  twelve  years, 
came  behind  him,  and  touched 
the  hem  of  his  garment: 

21  For  she  saiil  within  herself, 
"If  I  may  but  touch  his  garment, 
I  shall  be  whole. 

22  But  ^Je'.sus  turned  him 
al)OUt,  and  when  he  saw  her,  he 
said,  Daughter,  be  of  good  com- 
fort; thy  "faith  hath  made  thee 
whole.  And  the  woman  ^-  ^was 
made  whole  from  that  hour. 

23  And  when  Je'.sus  came  into 
the  '■'"ruler's  house,  and  saw  the 
"•^minstrels  and  the  people 
"making   a   noise, 

24  He  said  unto  them,  (Jive 
place:  for  the  maid  is  not  ''dead, 
but  '^sleepeth.  And  they  laughed 
him  to  scorn. 

25  But  when  the  people  were 
put  forth,  '^he  went  in,  and  looIc 
her  by  the  hand,  and  the  '^maid 
'arose. 

20  And  the  ''fame  hereof  went 
abroad  into  all  that  land. 

27  T[  And  when  Je'sus  departed 
thence,    two    '''blind    men    fol- 


lowed him,  crying,  and  saying. 
Thou  'son  of  ^Da'vid,  have 
mercy   on   us. 

28  And  when  he  was  come  in- 
to the  house,  the  '^^ 'blind  men 
'came  to  him:  and  Je'.sus  saith 
unto  them,  Believe  ye  that  I  am 
able  to  do  this  ?  They  said  unto 
him,  'Yea,  Lord. 

29  Then  touched  ''he  their  eyes, 
saying,  According  to  your  'faith 
be  it  unto  you. 

30  And  their  eyes  were  'opened; 
and  Je'.sus  ^^straitly  '"charged 
them,  saying,  See  that  no  man 
know  it. 

31  But  they,  when  they  were 
departed,  '^spread  abroad  his 
''fame   in   all  that  country. 

32  T[  As  they  went  out,  behold, 
they  brought  to  him  a  "duml) 
man  possessed  with  a  ^devil. 

33  And  when  the  ^devil  was 
'•^cast  out,  the  "dumb  'spake: 
and  the  multitudes  marvelled, 
saying,  It  was  never  so  seen  in 
Ls'ra-el. 

34  But  the  Thar'i-see.s  *said. 
He  casteth  out  devils  through 
the   'piince   of   the   devils.

CHAPTER  11 

John  the  Baptist  sends  two  of  his  disciples 
to  Jesus.  7  Jesus' testimony  concerning 
John.  16  The  Jews  reject  both.  20  Jesus 
upbraids  Chorazln,  Bethsalda,  and  Ca- 
pernaum; 26  and  rejoices  that  the  gospel 
is  revealed  tinio  babes,  28  His  invitation 
to  the  heavy  laden. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Je'sus  had  made  an  end 
of  commanding  his  twelve  '^dis- 
ciples, *he  departed  thence  to 
'^teach  and  to  '^preach  in  their 
cities. 

2  ^  «Now  when  '•''John  had 
heard  ''in  the  prison  the  works 
of  Christ,  he  sent  Hwo  of  his 
Misciples, 

3  And  %aid  unto  him,  Art  thou 
^■■'he  that  should  come,  or  do 
we  look  for  another  ? 

4  Je'sus  answered  and  said  un- 
to Hhem,  Go  and  shew  ''John 
again  those  "'things  which  ye  do 
hear  and  see : 

5  The  "blind  '"receive  their 
sight,  and  the  "lame  walk,  the 
^lepers    are    cleansed,    and    the 

deaf  hear,  the  dead  are  raised 
up,  and  the  'poor  have  "the  ''gos- 
pel ''preached  to  them. 

6  And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever 
*shall  ^not  be  offended  in  me. 

7  ^    And   as    they    departed, 


Je'^us  began  to  say  unto  the 
multitudes  concerning  ''John, 
What  went  ye  out  into  the  wil- 
derness to  see  ?  A  ^reed  shaken 
with  the  wind  ? 

8  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see  ?  A  man  clothed  in  soft  rai- 
ment ?  behold,  they  that  wear 
soft  clothing  are  in  kings'  houses. 

9  But  what  went  ye  out  for 
to  see  ?  A  "prophet  ?  yea,  I 
say  unto  you,  and  more  than 
a  prophet. 

10  For  this  is  he,  of  whom  "it  is 
written,  "'Behold,  I  send  my 
^messenger  before  thy  face, 
which  shall  prepare  thy  way 
before  thee. 

11  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Among  them  that  are  born  of 
women  there  hath  not  risen  a 
greater  than  John  the  Bap'tist : 
notwithstanding  ^he  that  is  ''least 
in  the  ^Idngdom  of  heaven  is 
greater  than  he. 

12  "And  from  the  days  of  ^John 
the  Bap'tist  until  now  the  king- 
dom of  heaven  suffereth  vio- 
lence, and  the  violent  take  it 
by  force. 

13  For  all  the  '^prophets  and  the 
''•''law  ''prophesied  until  *John. 

14  And  if  ye  will  receive  it, 
this  is  ^fi-li'as,  which  was  for  to 
come. 

15  ''He  that  hath  ears  to  hear, 
let  him  'hear. 

16  But  whereunto  shall  I  liken 
this  generation  ?  It  is  like  unto 
'children  sitting  in  the  ^markets, 
and  calling  unto  their  fellows, 

17  And  saying.  We  have  '^piped 
unto  you,  and  ye  have  not 
'danced ;  we  have  mourned  unto 
you,  and  ye  have  not  lamented. 

18  For  *''"J6hn  came  "neither 
eating  "nor  drinking,  and  ^they 
say.  He  hath  a  devil. 

19  The  '-''Son  of  man  came  eat- 
ing  and   drinking,    *and    ^they

6  But  *I  say  unto  you,  That  in 
this  place  is  ^one  greater  than  the 
^temple. 

7  But  if  ye  had  known  what 
this  meaneth,  I  will  have  ''■  *mer- 
cy,  and  not  'sacrifice,  ye  would 
not  have  condemned  the  guilt- 
less. 

8  For  the  *Son  of  man  is 
"•*Lord  even  of  the  ^sabbath 
day. 

9  ^  And  when  he  was  departed 
thence,  he  went  into  their  ^syna- 
gogue: 

10  And,  behold,  "there  was  a 
man  which  had  hw  hand  "with- 
ered. And  they  asked  him,  say- 
ing. Is  it  lawful  to  heal  on  the 
sabbath  days  ?  that  they  might 
accuse  him. 

11  And  *he  said  unto  them, 
What  man  shall  there  be  among 
you,  that  shall  have  one  "'sheep, 
and  if  it  fall  into  a  pit  on  the 
''sabbath  day,  will  he  not  lay 
hold  on  it,  and  ^lift  it  out  ? 

12  HoAV  much  then  is  a  man 
^better  than  a  ^sheep  ?  Where- 
fore it  is  lawful  to  do  well  on 
the  sabbath  days. 

13  Then  saith  he  to  the  man, 
Stretch  forth  thine  hand.  And 
he  stretched  it  foj-th;  and  it 
^was  restored  whole,  like  as 
the  other. 

14  ^  Then  the  ^Phar'i-sees 
went  out,  and  ^■^'"held  a  council 
against  liim,  how  they  might  de- 
stroy him. 

15  "But  when  Je'.sus  knew  it, 
^he  '^withdrew  himself  from 
thence:  and  great  multitudes 
followed  him,  and  he '^' ^healed 
them  all; 

16  And  '^charged  them  that  they 
should  not  make  him  known : 


17  That  %  might  be  fulfilled 
which  was  spoken  by  ^'E-.sa'ias 
the  ''prophet,  saying, 

18  'Behold  my  servant,  whom  I 
have  chosen;  my  beloved,  in 
whom  my  soul  is  well  pleased :  I 
will  put  my  ^' ^spirit  upon  him, 
and  he  shall  ''^shew  judgment  to 
the  ^Gen'tlle-s. 

19  '"He  shall  not  strive,  nor  cry; 
neither  shall  any  man  hear  his 
voice  in  the  streets. 

20  "A  "bruised  ^reed  shall  «he 
not  break,  and  smoking  ''flax 
shall  he  not  quench,  till  he  send 
forth  judgment  unto  victory. 

21  And  in  his  *name  shall  the 
'Gen'tlle.2  ^' 'trust. 

22  Tf  "Then  "was  brought  unto 
him  one  possessed  with  a  ""dev- 
il, ^blind,  and  ^dumb:  and  %e 
"•  "healed  him,  insomuch  that  the 
blind  and  dumb  both  spake  and 
saw. 

23  And  all  the  people  were 
amazed,  and  said,  Is  not  tliis 
the  ^son  of  '^Da'vid  ? 

24  But  when  the  ^Phar^-see.s 
heard  it,  they  ''•^said,  ''This  fel- 
low doth  not  cast  out  \levils,  but 
by  ^■''Be-el'ze-bub  the  prince  of 
the  devils. 

25  ^And  Je'.sus  '"knew  their 
thoughts,  and  said  unto  them. 
Every  kingdom  "divided  against 
itself  is  "brought  to  desolation; 
and  every  city  or  house  divided 
against  itself  "shall  not  stand :

28  But  if  I  ^cast  out  'devils 
by  the  'Spirit  of  God,  then  the 
'"Idngdoin  of  God  is  come  unto 
you. 

29  Or  else  how  can  one  enter 
into  a  strong  man's  house,  and 
spoil  his  goods,  except  he  first 
bind  the  strong  man  ?  and  then 
he  will  *spoil  his  house. 

30  'He  that  is  not  with  me  is 
against  me;  and  he  that  gath- 
ereth  not  with  me  scattei'eth 
^abroad. 

31  Wherefore  I  say  unto  you, 
"All  manner  of  "sin  and  ""blas- 
phemy shall  be  forgiven  unto 
men :  but  the  ^blasphemy  againd 
the  ""Holy  ^Ghost  shall  not  be 
forgiven  "unto  men. 

32  And  whosoever  "'speaketh  a

"it  shall  be  forgiven  him:  but 
whosoever  ■''speaketh  against  the 
^Holy  ^Ghost,  it  shall  not  be 
forgiven  him,  neither  in  this

come. 

33  "•''Either  make  the  ''tree 
good,  and  his  fruit  ''good;  or  else 
make  the  tree  corrupt,  and  his 
fruit  ^corrupt:  for  the  tree  is 
known  by  his  fruit. 

34  ^''•'^O  generation  of  ^vipers, 
how  can  ye,  being  ''evil,  speak 
good  ^things  ?  for  out  of  the 
abundance  of  the  4ieart  the 
mouth  speaketh. 

35  A  good  man  out  of  the  good 
treasure  "of  the  '^heart  bringeth 
forth  good  things;  and  an  evil 
man  out  of  the  evil  treasure 
bringeth  forth  evil  ''things. 

36  But  I  say  unto  you,  That 
every  ''idle  %ord  that  men  shall 
speak,  they  shall  give  account 
thereof  in  the  day  of  *judg-

37  For  ])y  thy  words  thou  shalt 


be  'justified,  and  by  thy  words 
thou  shalt  be  'condemned. 

38  II  '"Then  certain  of  the 
"scribes  and  of  the  "Phar'i-see.s 
answered,  sajdng,  ^"-^^laster,  we 
would  see  a  ^-''sign  from  thee. 

39  But  he  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  An  ''evil  and  adulter- 
ous generation  seeketh  after  a 
^•'■■^sign;  and  there  shall  no  sign 
be  given  to  it,  but  the  sign  of  the 
^prophet  'Jo'nas: 

40  "'"For  as  'Jo'nas  Avas  three 
days  and  three  nights  in  the 
"whale's  belly;  ^so  shall  the 
Son  of  man  be  three  days  and 
three  nights  in  the  heart  of  the 
earth. 

41  ^-'The  men  of  °Nin'e-veh 
shall  rise  in  ^judgment  with  this 
generation,  and  shall  condemn 
it:  because  they  '^■''repented  at 
the  ''preaching  of  ''Jo'nas;  and, 
behold,  a  ^greater  than  Jo'nas  is 
here. 

42  ''The  ^queen  of  the  south 
shall  rise  up  in  the  judgment 
with  this  generation,  and  shall 
condemn  it:  for  she  came  from 
the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth 
to  hear  the  wisdom  of  ^Sol'o- 
mon;  and,  behold,  a  ^greater 
than  Sol'o-mon  is  here. 

43  When  the  *• 'unclean  spirit  is 
gone  out  of  a  man,  he  walketh 
through  dry  places,  seeldng  rest, 
and  findeth  none. 

44  Then  'he  saith,  I  will  return 
into  my  house  from  whence  I 
came  out;  and  when  he  is  come, 
he  findeth  it  empty,  swept,  and 
garnished. 

45  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh 
with  himself  seven  other  spirits 
more  wicked  than  himself,  and 
they  enter  in  and  dwell  there: 
and  the  '"-'last  state  of  that  man 
is  worse  than  the  first.  Even  so 
shall  it  be  also  unto  this  wicked

46  T[  Wliile  he  yet  talked  to  the 
people,  behold,  "his  ^''mother 
and  his  brethren  stood  without, 
desiring  to  speak  with  him. 

47  Then  one  said  unto  him, 
Behold,  thy  mother  and  thy 
brethren  stand  without,  desir- 
ing  to  speak  with  thee. 

48  But  he  answered  and  said 
unto  him  that  told  him,  Who  is 
my  mother  ?  and  who  are  my 
brethren  ? 

49  And  '^he  stretched  forth  his 
hand  toward  his  'disciples,  and 
said,  Behold  my  mother  and  my 
brethren ! 

50  For  'whosoever  shall  "-"do 
the  ""will  of  my  -^Father  which 
is  in  ^heaven,  the  same  is  my

CHAPTER    13 

The  parable  of  the  sower,  18  and  its  exposi- 
tion. 24  The  parable  of  the  tares,  SI  of 
the  mustard  seed,  33  of  the  learen,  44  of 
the  hidden  treasure,  45  of  the  pearl,  47  and 
of  the  net  cast  Into  the  sea.  53  .Jesus  is 
rejected  by  his  own  countrymen. 

THE  same  day  went  "Je'.sus 
out   of  the  house,  and  sat 
by  the  *sea  side. 

2  And  ''great  multitudes  were 
gathered  together  unto  him,  so 
that  he  went  into  a  "^ship,  and 
sat;  and  the  whole  multitude 
stood  on  the  shore. 

3  And  "he  spake  many  things 
unto  them  in  Sparables,  sajdng. 
Behold,  a  *'^sower  went  forth  to 
"sow; 

4  And  ''when  he  sowed,  some 
seeds  fell  by  the  way  side,  and 
the  fowls  came  and  devoured 
them  up: 

5  Some  fell  upon  stony  places, 
where  they  had  not  much  earth : 
and  forthwith  they  sprung  up, 
because  they  had  '-'no  deepness 
of  earth : 

6  And  when  the  sun  was  up, 
they  were  scorched ;  and  because 
they  had  *''no  root,  they  '^^ith- 
ered  away. 


7  And  some  fell  among  ^thorns ; 
and  the  thorns  sprung  up,  and 
''choked  them: 

8  But  other  fell  into  good 
ground,  and  brought  forth  'fruit, 
some  an  hundredfold,  some  six- 
tyfold,  some  thirtyfold. 

9  Who  hath  ears  to  hear,  let 
him  '"hear. 

10  T[  And  the  ''disciples  came, 
and  said  unto  him.  Why  speak- 
est  "thou  unto  them  in  Spara- 
bles ? 

1 1  "He  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Because  it  is  given  unto 
"you  to  ^know  the  "mysteries  of 
the  ^kingdom  of  heaven,  but  to 
them  it  is   not  given. 

12  For  "' '^ whosoever  *hath,  to 
him  shall  be  given,  and  he  shall 
have  more  abundance :  but  who- 
soever hath  not, from  him'' "shall 
be  taken  away  even  that  he  hath. 

13  Therefore  speak  "I  to  theni 
in  "parables:  because  they  *'see- 
ing  ""'  ^see  not;  and  hearing  they 
hear  not,  neither  do  they  under- 
stand. 

14  And  in  them  is  ^'fulfilled  the 
^prophecy  of  "^-.sa'ias,  which 
saith,  By  hearing  ''ye  shall  hear, 
and  "•''shall  not  understand;  and 
seeing  ye  shall  see,  and  shall  not 
perceive : 

15  For  "this  people's  heart  is 
"waxed  gross,  and  their  ears  are 
^duU  of  hearing,  and  "their  ''eyes 
they  have  closed;  lest  at  any  time 
they  should  see  with  their  eyes, 
and  hear  with  their  ears,  and 
should  understand  with  their 
heart,  and  should  be  converted, 
and  I  should  heal  them. 

16  But  blessed  are  your  eyes, 
for  they  *''see:  and  your  ears,  for 
they  ''hear. 

17  For  verily  I  say  unto  you. 
That  many  ''^prophets  and  right- 
eous men  have  '""desired  to  see 
those  things  which  ye  see,  and

have  not  seen  them;  and  to  hear 
those  "things  which  ye  hear,  and 
have  not  heard  ihcm. 

IS  T[  Hear  ye  therefore  the 
''paral)le  of  the    sower. 

19  When  any  one  heareth  the 
^•'•^vord  of  the  kingdom,  and 
''understandeth  it  not,  then  coni- 
eth  tlie  *wicked  one,  and  catch- 
eth  away  that  whicli  was  'sown 
in  his  heart.  This  is  he  which  re- 
ceived seed  by  the  way  side. 

20  But  he  that  received  the 
^•^•''seed  into  stony  places,  the 
same  is  he  that  heareth  the 
word,  and  anon  with  joy  receiv- 
eth  it; 

21  Yet  "'"hath  he  not  root  in 
himself,  but  dureth  for  a  wliile: 
for  when  "'•  ^tribulation  or  ^per- 
secution ariseth  because  of  the 
Vord,  ^by  and  by  %e  is  of- 
fended. 

22  He  also  that  received 
"•  *•  "^seed  among  the  '^thorns  is  he 
that  heareth  the  '^■*'^word;  and 
the  ^"'•^care  of  this  world,  and 
the  '^deceitfulness  of  ''•'riches, 
choke  the  word,  and  he  becom- 
eth  ^unfruitful. 

23  But  ^he  that  received 
"•''•'"seed  into  the  good  ground 
is  he  that  heareth  the  "•"•'^word, 
and  '''"understandeth  it;  which 
also  beareth  ''fruit,  and  bring- 
eth  forth,  some  an  hundredfold, 
some  sixty,  some  thirty. 

2-4  T[  Another  "parable  put  ^he 
forth  unto  them,  saying,  The 
^•'kingdom  of  heaven  is  likened 
unto  a  man  which  ^sowed  "good 
seed  in  his  field :

25  But 

t,u,v 


while 


men  slept,  his 
enemy  came  and  sowed 
""tares  among  the  '''■  •''wheat,  and 
went  his  way. 

26  But  when  the  blade  was 
sprung  up,  and  brought  forth 
fruit,  then  appeared  the  "'tares 
also. 

27  So  the  ^servants  of  the 
householder  came  and  said  unto 
him,  Sir,  didst  not  thou  sow  good 
seed  in  thy  field  ?  from  whence 
then  hath  it  tares  ? 

28  He  said  unto  them,  An  '-"en- 
emy hath  done  this.  The  servants 
said  unto  him.  Wilt  thou  then 
that  we  go  and  gather  them  up  ? 

29  But  he  said.  Nay;  lest  while 
ye  gather  up  the  tares,  ye  root  up 
also  the  ^wheat  with  them. 

30  Let  both  grow  together  until 
the  "■  ^harvest:  and  in  the  time  of 
harvest  I  will  say  to  the  ''reapers, 
'^Gather  ye  together  first  the 
'^tares,  and  bind  them  in  bundles 
to  ''burn  them:  but  gather  the 
■^wheat  into  my  '''*barn. 

31  T[  x\nother  Sparable  put  he 
forth  unto  them,  saying.  The 
^' ^'kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  to 
a  grain  of  ■'"■'"mustard  seed, 
which  a  man  took,  and  "sowed 
in  his  field: 

32  Which  indeed  is  the  least  of 
all  seeds:  but  when  it  is  grown, 
it  is  the  greatest  among  herbs, 
and  becometh  a  tree,  so  that  the 
"birds  of  the  air  come  and  lodge 
in  the  branches  thereof. 

33  T[  Another  'paral)le  spake  he 
unto  them;  The  ^•'^•ndngdom  of 
heaven  is  like  unto  P' ^leaven, 
which  a  woman  took,  and  hid 
in  three  measures  of  meal,  till 
the   whole  was  leavened.

34  All  these  things  spake  ''Je'- 
.sus  untC'  the  multitude  in  Spara- 
bles; and  without  a  parable 
spake  he  not  unto  them: 

35  That  'it  might  be  fulfilled 
which  was  spoken  by  the  'proph- 
et, saying,  "I  will  open  my 
mouth  in  'parables;  1  will  utter 
things  which  have  been  kept  se- 
cret from  the  foundation  of  the 
world. 

36  T[  Then  Jc'.sus  sent  the  mul- 
titude away,  and  went  into  the 
house:  and  his  ^disciples  came 
unto  him,  saying,  Declare  unto 
us  the  Sparable  of  the  tares  of 
the  field. 

37  He  answered  and  said  un- 
to them.  He  that  sowetli  the 
IV.  X.  j/gQoJ   y(.gj   jg   the   ^Son   of 

man ; 

38  The  field  is  the  world;  the 
good  seed  are  the  "children  of 
the  kingdom;  but  the  tares  are 
the  ''children  of  the  wicked 
one; 

39  The  '^enemy  that  sowed 
them  is  the  ''devil;  the  ^harvest 
is  the  ^end  of  the  world;  and 
the  reapers  are  the  ^angels. 

40  As  therefore  the  tares  are 
gathered  and  burned  in  the  fire; 
so  shall  it  be  in  the  ^end  of  this 
world. 

41  The  ''Son  of  man  shall  send 
forth  his  ''angels,  and  they  shall 
gather  out  of  *his  ^kingdom  all 
things  that  ^offend,  and  them 
which  do  iniquity; 

42  And  shall  'cast  them  into 
a  ''•'furnace  of  '"fire:  there  shall 
be  "wailing  and  "gnashing  of 
teeth. 

43  Then  shall  the  "•  ^righteous 
shine  forth  as  the  sun  in  the 
^kingdom  of  ''their  ^Father. 
Who  hath  ears  to  hear,  let 
him    'hear.

heaven  is  like  unto  ^''"treasure

man  hath  found,  he  hideth,  and 
for  ^joy  thereof  goeth  and  ^sell- 
eth  all  that  he  hath,  and  buyeth 
that  field. 

45  ^  Again,  "the  ^kingdom  of 
heaven  is  like  unto  a  ^merchant 
man,  seeking  goodly  "■  "pearls: 

46  Who,  when  he  had  found 
one  "pearl  of  great  price,  went 
and  '"sold  all  that  he  had,  and 
bought  it. 

47  T[  Again,  ''the  ^kingdom  of 
heaven  is  like  unto  a  net,  that 
was  cast  into  the  sea,  and  gath- 
ered of  every  kind: 

48  Which,  when  it  was  full, 
they  drew  to  shore,  and  sat 
down,  and  gathered  the  good 
into  vessels,  but  cast  the  *bad 
away. 

49  So  shall  it  be  at  the  ''end  of 
the  world:  the  ^angels  shall  come 
forth,  and  *sever  the  ''wicked  from 
among  the  'just, 

50  And  shall  'cast  ''them  into 
the  *• 'furnace  of  '"fire:  there 
shall  be  "wailing  and  "gnashing 
of  teeth. 

51  Je'sus  saith  unto  them, 
Have  ye  "understood  all  these 
things  ?  They  say  unto  him, 
Yea,  ^Lord. 

52  Then  said  he  unto  them, 
Therefore  every  ^-'scribe  ^which 
is  "instructed  unto  the  ^Idng- 
dom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man 
that  is  an  householder,  which 
bringeth  forth  out  of  his  ''treas- 
ure things  new  and  old. 

53  TI  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  Je'sus  had  finished  these 
Sparables,  'he  departed  thence. 

54  "And  when  he  was  come  in- 
to his  own  country,  he  taught 
them  in  their  "synagogue,  inso- 
much that  they  Avere  astonished, 
and  said.  Whence  hath  this  man

CHAPTER    14 

Herod's  opinion  of  Jesus.  3  Why  John  the 
Baptist  was  beheaded.  13  Jesus  feeds 
five  thousand  men  with  five  loaves  and  two 
fishes.  22  He  walks  on  the  sea.  34  As 
many  as  touch  the  hem  of  his  garment 
are  healed. 

AT  that  time*'°ner'od  the  te- 
trarch  heard  of  the  "fame 
of  Je'.sus, 

2  '^•'^And  said  unto  his  servants, 
This  is  ''John  the  Bap'tist;  he  is 
risen  from  the  dead;  and  there- 
fore hiiighty  works  do  shew  forth 
themselves  in  him. 

3  TI  For  *-''Her'od  had  ^•'^laid 
hold  on  ^John,  and  bound  him, 
and    ''put    him    in    prison    'for 

'•Tle-rd'dl-as'  sake,  his  brother 
^Phil'ip's  wife. 

4  For  *J6hn  'said  unto  him.  It 
is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have 
her. 

5  And  when  *he  would  have 
put  '^him  to  death,  he  '"feared  the 
multitude,  because  they  counted 
him  as  a  "prophet.

7  Whereupon  he  promised  with 
an  ^oath  to  give  her  whatsoever 
she  would  ask. 

8  And  she,  being  before  '^in- 
structed of  her  ''^mother,  said, 
Give  me  here  ''John  Bap'tist's 
head   in    a   ^charger. 

9  And  the  king  was  sorry: 
nevertheless  for  the  ^oath's  sake, 
and  them  which  sat  with  him  at 
meat,  he  commandetl  it  to  be 
given  her. 

10  And  *he  sent,  and  ^•'■"■"be- 
headed  John  in  the  prison. 

11  x4nd  his  head  was  brought  in 
a  ^charger,  and  given  to  the  dam- 
sel: and  she  brought  it  to  her 
^mother. 

12  And  ''his  "'disciples  came, 
and  took  up  the  body,  and  •''bur- 
ied it,  and  went  and  told  Je'- 
sus. 

'  13  If  When  ^Je'.sus  heard  of  it, 
he  departed  thence  by  ^ship  into 
a  desert  place  apart:  and  when 
the  people  had  heard  thereof, 
they  "followed  "him  on  foot  out 
of  the  cities. 

14  And  ''-"Je'.sus  went  forth, 
and  saw  a  great  multitude,  and 
was  moved  with  "compassion 
toward  them,  and  he  ''•''healed 
tlieir  sick. 

15  ^  ''And  when  it  was  evening, 
his  disciples  came  to  him,  'say- 
ing. This  is  a  desert  place,  and 
the  time  is  now  past;  send  the 
multitude  away,  that  they  may 
go  into  the  villages,  and  buy 
themselves  victuals. 

16  But  Je'sus  said  unto  them, 
They  need  not  depart;  give  ye

17  And  they  say  unto  him,  We 
have  here  but  five  "loaves,  and 
two  ^fishes. 

18  He  said.  Bring  them  hither 
to  me. 

19  And  he  commanded  the 
multitude  to  sit  down  on  the 
grass,  and  took  the  five  "loaves, 
and  the  two  'fishes,  and  looldng 
up  to  heaven,  '^he  ^-'blessed,  and 
brake,  and  "gave  the  loaves  to 
his  ''disciples,  and  the  disciples 
to  the  multitude. 

20  And  ''they  did  all  eat,  and 
were  filled:  and  they  ^took  up 
of  the  fragments  that  remained 
twelve  '"baskets  full. 

21  And  they  that  had  eaten 
were  about  five  thousand  men, 
beside  women  and  children. 

22  T[  "And  straightway  Je'sus 
constrained  his  ''disciples  to  get 
into  a  "ship,  and  to  go  before 
him  unto  the  otiier  side,  while  he 
sent  the  multitudes  away. 

23  And  when  he  had  sent  the 
multitudes  away,^  he  went  up  in- 
to a  mountain  apart  to  "pray: 
and  when  the  evening  was  come, 
he  was  there  alone. 

24  But  the  "ship  was  now  in  the 
midst  of  the  '^sea,  tossed  with 
waves:  for  the  wind  was  con- 
trary. 

25  And  in  the  fourth  *watch 
of  the  night  "'■Je'.sus  went  unto 
them,  walking  on  the  ''•^sea. 

26  x\nd  when  the  ''disciples  saw 
*him  walking  on  the  '"■'sea,  they 
were  troubled,  saying.  It  is  "a 
spirit;  and  they  cried  out  for 
fear. 

27  But  straightway  Je'.sus  spake 
unto  thein,  saying,  "Be  of  good 
cheer;  it  is  I;  be  not  afraid. 

28  And  ^'Pe'ter  answered  him 
and   said,  I>ord,  if  it  be  thou, 


bid  me  come  unto  thee  on  the 
water. 

29  And  he  said,  Come.  And 
when  ''Pe'ter  was  come  down  out 
of  the  "ship,  he  walked  on  the 
water,  to  go  to  Je'sus. 

30  But  when  he  saw  the  wind 
boisterous,  he  was  '^afraid;  and 
beginning  to  sink,  he  ^cried,  say- 
ing, ^Lord,  save  me. 

31  And  immediately  Je'.sus 
stretched  forth  his  hand,  and 
caught  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
O  thou  of  little  ^faith,  wherefore 
didst  thou  "^doubt  ? 

32  And  when  they  were  come 
into  the  "ship,  *the  wind  ceased. 

33  Then  they  that  were  in 
the  ^ship  came  and  '^worshipped 
''him,  saying.  Of  a  truth  '^"'thou 
art  the  "Son  of  God. 

34  ^  "And  when  they  were  gone 
over,  they  came  into  the  land  of 
Gen-nes'a-ret. 

35  And  when  the  men  of  that 
place  had  ^knowledge  of  him, 
they  sent  out  into  all  that  coun- 
try round  about,  and  brought 
unto  him  all  that  were  'dis- 
eased ; 

36  And  besought  him  that  they 
might  only  touch  the  hem  of 
his  garment:  and  as  many  as 
touched  were  ''•'-''^made  perfectly 
whole. 

CHAPTER  15 

Jesus  reproves  the  scribes  and  Pharisees  on 
account  of  their  traditions;  10  teaches  that 
tohat  goes  into  the  mouth  defiles  not  a 
man:  21  heals  the  daughter  of  a  tvomanof 
Canaan,  and  many  others;  32  and  with 
seven  loaves  and  a  few  little  fishes  feeds 
four  thousand  men,  beside  women  and 
children. 

THEN  came  to  ^Je'sus 
'^scribes  and  ''PhS.r'i-sees,

unto  them,  Why  do  ye  also 
'"transgress  the  "commandment 
of  God  by  your  *■''• ''tradition  ? 

4  For  God  commanded,  say- 
ing, "''-^Honour  thy  ''father  and 
''mother:  and,  *He  that  ^'curseth 
father  or  mother,  let  him  "die 
the  death. 

5  But  "ye  say,  Whosoever  shall 
say  to  his  father  or  his  mother, 
"//  is  a  gift,  by  whatsoever  thou 
mightest  be  profitetl  by  me; 

6  And  honour  not  his  father 
or  his  mother,  he  shall  he  free. 
Thus  have  "ye  matle  the  com- 
mandment of  God  of  none  effect 
l)y  your  *tradition. 

7  Ye  "'hypocrites,  well  ilid 
•^E-sa'ias  ^prophesy  of  you, 
saying, 

8  ^'^This  people  draweth  nigh 
unto  me  with  their  mouth,  and 
honoureth  me  with  their  lips; 
'"but  their  heart  is  far  from  me. 

9  But  in  vain  ""they  do  wor- 
ship me,  teaching  for  doctrines 
the  '^commandments  of  men. 

10  T[  And  he  called  the  multi- 
tude, and  said  unto  them,  Plear, 
and  understand : 

11  Not  that  Avhich  goeth  into 
the  mouth  defileth  a  man;  but 
that  which  comcth  out  of  the 
mouth,  this  "defileth  a  man. 

12  Then  came  his  ^disciples, 
and  said  unto  him,  Knowest 
thou  that  the  ^Phar'i-sees  were 
offended,  after  they  heard  this 
saying  ? 

13  But  he  an.swered  and  said.

15  Then  answered  'Pe'ter  and 
said  unto  him,  Declare  unto  us 
this  Sparable. 

16  And  Je'sus  said,  Are  ye  also 
yet  without  'understanding  ? 

17  '"Do  not  ye  yet  understand, 
that  whatsoever  entereth  in  at 
the  mouth  goeth  into  the  belly, 
and  is  cast  out  into  the  draught  ? 

18  "But  those  things  which  pro- 
ceed out  of  the  mouth  come  forth 
from  the  "heart;  and  they  ''defile 
the  man. 

19  For  out  of  the  "^eart  pro- 
ceed *evil  thoughts,  ''murders,

20  These  are  the  things  which 
''defile  a  man:  but  to  eat  with 
"^unwashen  hands  defileth  not  a

21  ^  ^Then  Je'sus  went  thence, 
and  departed  into  the  coasts  of 
"Tyre  and  "Si'don. 

22  And.  behold,  a  "woman  of 
Ca'naan  came  out  of  the  same

26  But  he  answered  and  said, 
It  is  not  meet  to  take  the  chil- 
dren's bread,  and  to  cast  it  to 
"dogs. 

27  And  she  said,  ^Truth,  Lord: 
yet  the  "dogs  eat  of  the  crumbs 
which  fall  from  their  masters' 
table. 

28  Then  Je'.sus  answered  and 
said  unto  her,  O  woman,  great 
is  thy  ^faith :  be  it  unto  thee  even 
as  thou  wilt.  iVnd  her  daughter 
was  '^■^made  whole  from  that 
very  hour. 

29  ^  'And  Je'.sus  departed  from 
thence,  and  came  nigh  unto  the 
sea  of  "Gal'i-lee;  and  went  up 
into  a  mountain,  and  sat  down 
there. 

30  And  "great  multitudes  came 
unto  him,  having  with  them 
those  that  were  ""lame,  ^blind, 
^dumb,  maimed,  and  many 
others,  and  cast  them  down  at

wondered,  when  they  saw  the 
^dumb  "to  speak,  the  maimed 
"to  be  whole,  the  ^'lame  *to  walk, 
and  the  ^blind  to  see :  "and  they 
^glorified  the  God  of  Ls'ra-el. 

32  ^  ''Then  Je'.sus  called  his 
disciples  ^into  him.,  and  said,  I 
have  ''■"compassion  on  the  multi- 
tude, because  they  continue  with 
me  now  three  days,  and  have 
nothing  to  eat:  and  I  will  not 
send  them  away  ''fasting,  lest 
they  faint  in   the  way. 

33  And  his  "disciples  say  unto 
him,  Whence  should  we  have  so 
much  ''bread  in  the  wilderness, 
as  to  fill  so  great  a  multitude  ? 


34  And  Je'sus  saith  unto  them. 
How  many  'loaves  have  ye  ? 
And  they  said.  Seven,  and  a  few 
little  ^fishes. 

35  And  he  commanded  the 
multitude  to  sit  down  on  the 
ground. 

36  And  he  took  the  seven 
'loaves  and  the  'fishes,  and  ^'gave 
'thanks,  and  brake  thevi,  and 
"'gave  to  his  ''disciples,  and  the 
disciples  to  the  multitude. 

37  And  "'they  did  all  eat,  and 
were  filled :  and  they  "took  up  of

seven   "baskets   full. 

38  And  they  that  did  eat 
were  four  thousand  men,  beside

be  given  unto  it,  but  the  sign  of 
the  prophet '  Jo'nas.  And  he  left 
them,  and  departed. 

5  T[  And  when  his  '"disciples 
were  come  to  the  other  side, 
"they  had  forgotten  to  take 
"bread. 

6  Then  Jc'.sus  said  unto  them, 
^'  *Take  heed  and  beware  of  the 
r.s.^gaven  of  the  *•  "Phar'i-see.s 
and  of  the  '^•''Sad'du-9ee§. 

7  And  they  reasoned  among 
themselves,  saving,  It  i,s  because 
we  have  taken  no  "bread. 

8  Which  when  Je'§us  per- 
ceived, he  said  unto  them,  O  '"ye 
of  little  ^faith,  why  reason  ye 
among  yourselves,  because  ye 
have  brought  no  "bread  ? 

9  Do  ye  "'not  yet  understand, 
neither  remember  the  five 
■'■■  ''loaves  of  the  five  thousand, 
and  how  many  baskets  ye  took 
up  ? 

10  Neither  the  seven  '•  ''loaves 
of  the  four  thousand,  and  how 
many  baskets  ye  took  up  ? 

11  How  is  it  that  ye  do  ""not 
understand  that  I  spake  it  not  to 
you  concerning  "bread,  that  ye 
should  beware  of  the  ''•*• 'leaven 
of  the  ''■"Phar'i-sees  and  of  the 
*"■  "Sad'du-9ee.s  ? 


12  Then  understood  they  how 
that  he  bade  them  not  beware  of 
the  ^leaven  of  "bread,  but  of  the 
^doctrine  of  the  ''■  "Phar'i-sees 
and  of  the  '^'  "Sad'du-9ee.s. 

13  T[  '^When  Je'sus  came  into 
the  coasts  of  ^(^res-a-re'a  Phi- 
iTp'pi,  he  asked  his  Misciples, 
saying,  ''Whom  do  men  say  that  I 
the  Son  of  man  am  ? 

14  And  they  said,  Some  saij  that 
thou  art  ''John  the  Bap'tist: 
some,  ^E-ll'as;  and  others,  -'Jer- 
e-ml'as,  or  one  of  the  "prophets. 

15  He  saith  unto  *them,  But 
'whom  say  ye  that  I  am? 

16  And  "Si'mon  Pe'ter  an- 
swered and  said,  ^''Thou  art  the 
''^Christ,  the  'Son  of  the  living 
God. 

17  And  Je'sus  answered  and 
said  unto  him.  Blessed  art  thou, 
''Si'mon  Biir-jo'na :  for  flesh  and 
blood  hath  not  revealed  '"it  unto 
thee,  but  my  "Father  which  is  in 
"heaven. 

18  And  ^I  say  also  unto  thee. 
That  thou  art  "Pe'ter,  and  upon 
this  *rock  I  will  build  my 
^church;  and  the  ''gates  of  ^•*hell 
shall  not  prevail  against  it.

X  CHURCH.  The  vpord  Church  Is  used  here  to  express 
the  Idea  of  an  organized  body  of  believers  witliout  regard  to 
the  form  of  institution  under  which  they  are  associated, 
whetlier  ancient  or  modern.  No  modern  term  in  common 
use  describes  the  ancient  politico-ecclesiastical  Institution 
founded  by  Moses  and  existing  at  the  time  of  our  Savior. 
To  call  the  Jewish  community  a  church,  combining  in  Itself, 
as  it  did,  social,  political  and  ecclesiastical  functions,  may 
seem,  from  some  points  of  view,  unwaiTantcd,  but  to  all  in- 
tents ami  purposes  it  was  a  church,  nnd  Is  so  clnsscd  in  this 
topic.  Its  priests  are  classed  as  ministers  and  the  places  of 
worship  are  classed  as  churches.  Manrinal  topics  opposite 
verses  containing  the  church  idea  employ  the  word  church 
In  orrler  to  state  the  subject  in  the  modern  term.

the  ''keys  of  the  ^kingdom  of

shalt  bind  on  earth  shall  be 
bound  in  ^heaven:  and  whatso- 
ever thou  shalt  loose  on  earth 
shall  be  loosed  in  heaven. 

20  Then  ^'charged  he  his  "dis- 
ciples that  they  should  tell  no  man 
that  he  was  ^' '' Je'.sus  the  Christ. 

21  ^  From  that  time  forth  be- 
gan Je'.sus  to  ^■''shew  unto  his 
''disciples,  how  that  he  must  go 
unto  '■Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  '^suffer 
many  things  of  the  ^elders  and 
chief  'priests  and  "scribes,  and 
be  killed,  and  ''be  raised  again 
the   third   day. 

22  Then  Te'ter  took  him,  and 
began  to  'rebuke  him,  saying.  Be 
it  far  from  thee,  Lord :  this  shall 
not  be  unto  thee. 

23  But  he  turned,  and  ^said  un- 
to Te'ter,  Get  thee  behind  me, 
Sa'tan :  thou  art  ^an  offence  unto 
me :  for  thou  ^savourest  not  the 
things  that  be  of  God,  but  those 
that  be  of  men. 

24  Then  said  Je'.sus  unto  his

27  For  the  -'Son  of  man  shall 
^come  in  the  glory  of  his  '^Father

There  be  some  standing  here,

bringeth  them  up  into  an  high 
'mountain   apart, 

2  And  was  *transfigured  bcfon^ 
them:  and  his  'face  did  ''shine  as 
the  ''suu,  and  his  'raiment  was 
^vhite  as  the  light. 

3  And,  behold,  ^there  appeared 
unto  them  ^jMd'.ses  and  '"E-li'as 
talking  with  him. 

4  Then  answered  Te'ter,  and 
said  unto  Je'sus,  I>ord,  "it  is 
good  for  us  to  be  here:  if  thou 
wilt,  let  us  make  here  three 
tabernacles;  one  for  thee,  and 
one  for  ^Mo'ses,  and  one  for 
'"E-ll'as. 

5  While  he  yet  spake,  behold, 
a  bright  "cloud  overshadowed 
them:  and  l)ehold  a  voice  out  of 
the  clouil,  which  said.  This  is  my 
beloved  ^Son,  in  whom  I  am  well 
pleased;  hear  ye  him. 

6  And  when  the  ^disciples 
heard  it,  they  fell  on  their  face, 
and  were  sore  afraid. 

7  And  Je'sus  came  and  touched 
them,  and  said,  Arise,  and  be  not 
afraid. 

8  And  Avhen  they  had  lifted  uj) 
their  eyes,  they  saw  no  man, 
save  Je'sus   only. 

9  ^  '^And  as  they  came  down 
from  the  ^mountain,  Je'sus 
^charged  them,  saying,  Tell  the 
'vision  to  no  man,  until  the  Son 
of  man  be  "risen  again  from  the 
(lead. 

10  And  his  ''discii)lcs  asked 
him,  saying,  Why  then  '^say  the 
"'scri'oes  that  ^£-h'as  must  first 
come  ? 

11  And  Jc'.sus  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  ^I^-ll'as  truly 
shall  first  come,  and  restore  all 
thin<rs. 


12  But  ^I  say  unto  you,  That 
^'E-ll'as  is  come  already,  and 
they  knew  him  not,  but  have 
done  unto  him  whatsoever  they 
hsted.  Likewise  shall  also  the 
"Son  of  man  ''suffer  of  them. 

13  Then  the  disciples  under- 
stood that  he  spake  unto  them 
of  "^John  the  Ba.p'tist. 

14  %  '^And  when  they  were 
come  to  the  multitude,  there 
came  to  him  a  certain  man, 
kneeling  down  to  him,  and  say- 
ing. 

15  *Lord,  have  mercy  on  my 
son:  for  he  is  '"'lunatick,  and 
sore  vexed:  for  ofttimes  he  fall- 
eth  into  the  fire,  and  oft  into  the 
water. 

IG  And  I  brought  him  to  thy 
''di.sciples,  and  they  could  not 
cure  him. 

17  Then  Je'sus  answered  and 
said,  O  ''-'faithless  and  perverse 
"generation,  how  long  shall  I  be 
with  you  ?  how  long  shall  I  suffer 
you  ?  bring  him  hither  to  me. 

IS  And  ^Je'sus  rebuked  the 
*devil;  and  he  departed  out  of 
him:  and  ^the  child  was  'cured 
from  that  very  hour. 

19  Then  came  the  "disciples  to 
Je'sus  apart,  and  said.  Why 
could   not  Ave   cast  him  out  ? 

20  And  Je'.sus  said  unto  them. 
Because  of  your  ^""'unbelief:  for 
'"verily  I  say  unto  you,  "If  ye 
have  "faith  as  a  grain  of  ^mus- 
tard seed,  ye  shall  say  unto  this 
"mountain.  Remove  hence  to 
yonder  place;  and  '^it  shall  re- 
move; and  nothing  shall  be  im-

^betrayed  into  the  hands  of  men : 

23  And  they  shall  ^'kill  him,

25  He  saith,  Yes.  And  when  he 
was  come  into  the  house,  Je'.sus 
prevented  him,  saying.  What 
thinkest  thou,  ''Si'mon  ?  of  whom 
do  the  *kings  of  the  earth  take 
custom  or  ''tribute  ?  of  their  own 
children,  or  of  strangers  ? 

26  '^Pe'ter  saith  unto  him.  Of

Then  are  the  children  free.

should  offend  them,  go  thou  to

CHAPTER  18 

Jesus  exhorts  Ms  disciples  to  humility,  7  to 
avoid  offences,  10  ar)d  not  to  despise  'lie 
little  ones.  15  How  to  deal  u'ith  an  of- 
fending brother;  21  and  how  often  to  for 
give  him.  23  The  parable  of  the  king 
who  took  account  of  his  servants. 


"  A  T  the  same  time  came  the 
-i^     *disciple^     unto    ''Je'.sus, 
saying,  ''■"Who  is  the  greatest  in 
the  ''kingdom  of  heaven  ? 

2  And  Je'sus  called  a  little 
''child  unto  him,  and  set  him  in 
the  midst  of  them, 

3  And  said,  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  ''Except  ye  'be  ^converted, 
and  ''become  as  little  "children, 


ye  shall  not  enter  into  the  ''king- 
dom of  heaven. 

4  Whosoever  therefore  shall 
'humble  himself  as  this  little 
''child,  the  same  is  greatest  in 
the  'kingdom  of  heaven. 

5  And  ^'whoso  shall  receive  one 
.such  little  "child  in  my  'name  rc- 
cciveth  me. 

6  '"But  whoso  shall  ^-"offend 
one  of  these  little  ones  which 
"believe  ^in  me,  it  were  better 
for  him  that  a  '"millstone  were 
hanged  about  his  neck,  and  that 
he  were  drowned  in  the  depth  of 
the  sea. 

7  T[  *Woe  unto  the  world  be- 
cau.se  of  *'"^offences!  for  it  must 
needs  be  that  "^offences  come; 
but  woe  to  that  man  by  whom 
the  ^'"offence  cometli! 

8  Wherefore  ''•*if  thy  'hand  or 
thy  foot  ^offend  thee,  "-"cut  them 
off,  and  cast  them  from  thee:  it  is 
better  for  thee  to  enter  into  life 
halt  or  maimed,  rather  than  hav- 
ing two  hands  or  two  feet  to  be 
cast  into  "'•  ^everlasting  ^fire. 

9  And  if  thine  ^eye  "offend  thee, 
"•^pluck  it  out,  and  cast  it  from 
thee:  it  is  better  for  thee  to  en- 
ter into  life  with  one  eye,  rather 
than  having  two  eyes  to  be  cast 
into  «'-  ^hell  ^'fire. 

10  ^  "Take  heed  that  ye  de- 
spise not  one  of  these  little  ones; 
for  I  say  unto  you.  That  in 
''heaven  their  '^angels  do  always 
behold  the  face  of  '^my  ^Father 
which  is  in  'heaven.

one  of  them  be  gone  astray,  doth 
he  not  leave  the  ninety  and  nine, 
and  goeth  into  the  mountains, 
and  seeketh  that  which  is  gone 
astray  ? 

13  And  if  so  be  that  he  find  it, 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  he  "re- 
joiceth  more  of  that  "'sheep,  than 
of  the  ninety  and  nine  which 
went  not  astray. 

14  Even  so  it  is  not  the  "will 
of  your  'Father  which  is  in 
heaven,  that  one  of  these  little 
ones  should  perish. 

15  T[  Moreover,  ^if  thy  'brother 
shall  ''trespass  against  thee,  *''go 
and  "'^'tell  him  his  fault  between 
thee  and  him  '"alone:  if  he  shall 
hear  thee,  thou  hast  gained  thy 
brother. 

16  But  if  he  will  not  hear  thee, 
fJten  -^take  with  thee  one  or  two 
more,  that  in  the  mouth  of  two 
or  three  ^witnesses  every  word 
may  be  established. 

17  And  if  he  ^shall  neglect  to 
hear  them,  tell  it  unto  the 
*' ^church:  but  if  he  neglect  to 
hear  the  church,  "let  him  *be 
unto  thee  as  ''an  '^heathen  man 
and  a  ''publican. 

18  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  What- 
soever ye  shall  bind  on  eartii 
shall  be  bound  in  ^heaven:  and 
whatsoever  ye  shall  loose  on 
earth  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven. 

19  Again  I  say  unto  you.  That 
if  "two  of  you  shall  agree  on 
earth  as  touching  any  thing  that 
they  shall  ask,  "-^-^it  shall  be 
(lone  for  them  of  my  "^Father

''•■''"there  am  I  in  the  "midst  of 
them. 

21  ^  Then  came  ^Pe'ter  to 
him,  and  said.  Lord,  how  oft 
shall  my  'brother  sin  against 
me,  and  I  *''''*forgive  him?  till 
'seven  times  ? 

22  Je'sus  saith  unto  him,  I  say 
not  unto  thee.  Until  'seven  times: 
but,  "Until  seventy  times  seven. 

23  T[  ^Therefore  is  the  "'king- 
dom of  heaven  likened  unto 
a  certain  ^king,  which  would 
^•'take  account  of  his  servants. 

24  And  when  he  had  begun  to 
reckon,  one  was  brought  unto 
him,  which  ^owed  him  ten  thou- 
sand ^talents. 

25  But  forasmuch  as  "he  had 
not  to  pay,  his  lord  commanded 
''him  to  be  sold,  and  his  '^wife, 
and  ''children,  and  all  that  he 
had,  and  payment  to  be  made. 

26  The  servant  therefore  fell 
down,  and  worshipped  him,  say- 
ing, Lord,  have  ''patience  with 
me,  and  I  will  pay  thee  all, 

27  Then  the  lord  of  that  ser- 
vant was  moved  with  'compas- 
sion, and  loosed  him,  and  *for- 
gave  him  the  "debt. 

28  But  the  same  servant  went 
out,  and  found  one  of  his  fellow- 
servants,  which  ^owed  him  an 
hvmdred  ''pence:  and  4ie  ^laid 
hands  on  him,  and  took  him  by 
the  throat,  saying.  Pay  me  that 
thou  owest. 

29  And  his  fellowservant  fell 
down  at  his  feet,  and  besought 
him,  saying.  Have  ''patience  with 
me,  and  I  will  pay  thee  all. 

30  And  he  would  not :  but  went 
and  ''^-ast  him  into  prison,  till 
he  should  pay  the  "debt.

CHAPTER  19 

Jesus  heals  the  sick..  3  He  answers  the 
Pharisees  concerning  divorce.  10  and  his 
disciples  concerning  marriage.  13  He 
blesses  little  children:  16  answers  the  rich 
young  man:  23  and  declares  how  hard  It 
is  for  a  rich  man  to  enter  the  kingdom  of 
God.  27  The  reword  of  those  Who  forsake 
all  and  follow  him. 

AND  '^it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  *Je'sus  had  finished 
these  sayings,  he  de])arted  from 
"Gal'i-lee,  and  came  into  the 
coasts  of  '^  Ju-dse'a  beyond  ''Jor'- 
dan; 

2  And  ^great  multitudes  "fol- 
lowed him;  and  he  ''healed  them 
there. 

3  T[  '^The  Thar'i-see.2  also  came 
unto  him,  tempting  him,  and 
saying  unto  him,  Is  it  lawful  for 
a  man  to  *put  away  his  ^'wife  for 
every  cause  ? 

4  And  he  answered  and  'said 
unto  them,  Have  ye  not  read, 
that  he  which  '"made  them  at  the 
beginning ''made  them  "male  and 
''female. 


5  And  said,  'For  this  cause 
shall  a  ''man  leave  father  and 
mother,  and  shall  cleave  to  his 
*wife:  and  'they  twain  shall  be 
one  flesh  ? 

6  Wherefore  they  are  no  more 
twain,  but  *one  flesh.  What 
therefore  God  hath  joined  to- 
gether, let  not  man  put  asun- 
der. 

7  They  say  unto  him.  Why  did 
'Mo'se.s  then  ''command  to  give 
a  writing  of  *divorcement,  and 
to  put  her  away  ? 

8  He  saith  unto  them,  'Mo'§e§ 
because  of  the  hardness  of  your 
hearts  suffered  you  to  *put  away 
your  ^wives:  but  from  the  be- 
ginning it  was  not  so. 

9  And  I  'say  unto  you,  "Who- 
soever shall  *put  away  his  wife, 
except  it  be  for  fornication,  and 
shall  marry  another,  conimitteth 
"'adultery:  and  whoso  marrieth 
her  which  is  put  away  doth  com- 
mit adultery. 

10  Tf  His  ^disciples  say  unto 
him.  If  the  case  of  the  man  be  so 
with  hu  wife,  it  is  ^not  good  to 
marry. 

11  But  he  said  unto  them.  All 
men  cannot  receive  this  saying, 
save  they  to  whom  it  is  given. 

12  For  there  are  some  ^eu- 
nuchs, which  were  so  born  from 
their  mother's  womb:  and  there 
are  some  eunuchs,  which  were 
made  eunuchs  of  men:  and 
there  be  eunuchs,  which  have 
^•^made  themselves  ^eunuchs 
for  the  "kingdom  of  heaven's 
sake.  He  that  is  able  to  receive 
it,  let  him  receive  it. 

13  ^  *Then  were  there  brought 
unto  him  little  ''children,  that  he 
should  put  his  ''hands  on  them.

out  early  in  the  morning  to  hire 
'^■'^'^bourers  into  his  "vineyard. 

2  And  when  '^he  had  *agreed 
with  the  ''■'^labourers  for  a 
^'*penny  a  day,  he  sent  them 
into   his   "vineyard. 

3  And  he  went  out  about  the 
third  hour,  and  saw  others  stand- 
ing *idle  in  the  marketplace, 

4  And  said  unto  them;  Go 
ye  also  into  the  "vineyard,  and 
^whatsoever  is  right  ^I  will  give 
'^•^you.  And  they  went  their  way. 

5  Again  ^he  went  out  about  the 
sixth  and  ninth  hour,  and  did 
likewise. 

6  And  about  the  eleventh  hour 
he  went  out,  and  found  others 
standing  *idle,  and  saith  unto 
them,  Why  stand  ye  here  all  the 
day  idle  ? 

7  They  say  unto  him.  Because 
no  man  hath  ''hired  us.  ''He  saith 
unto  them.  Go  '^ye  also  into  the 
"vineyard;  ^and  whatsoever  is 
right,   Hhat  shall  ye   receive. 

8  So  when  even  was  come,  the 
'"lord  of  the  "vineyard  saith  unto 
his  Steward,  Call  the  ''•'^labour- 
ers,  and  give  them  their  *hire, 
beginning  from  the  last  unto  the 
first. 

9  And  when  they  came  that 
were  hired  about  the  eleventh 
hour,  they  received  every  man  a 
^- ''penny. 

10  But  when  the  first  came, 
they  supposed  that  they  should 
have  received  more;  and  '^■''they 
likewise  received  every  man  a 
^' ''penny. 

11  And  when  they  had  re- 
ceived it,  they  *inurmured 
against  the  ^-''goodman  of  the 
house, 

12  ^Saying,    These   last   have 


wrought  but  one  hour,  and  thou 
hast  made  them  equal  unto  us, 
which  have  borne  the  burden 
and  heat  of  the  day. 

13  But  he  answered  one  of 
them,  and  said.  Friend,  I  do 
thee  no  wrong;:  didst  not  thou 
*agree  with  me  for  a  '  •''penny  ? 

14  Take  that  thine  is,  and  go 
thy  way:  I  will  give  unto  this 
last,   even  as  unto  thee. 

15  Is  it  not  lawful  for  me  to 
do  what  I  will  with  mine  own  ? 
Is  thine  eye  evil,  because  I 
am    good  ? 

16  So  the  last  shall  be  first,  and 
the  first  last:  ^for  many  be 
'called,   but  few  chosen. 

17  Tl  And  Je'.sus  going  up  to 
"Me-rii'sil-lem  took  the  twelve 
"disciples  apart  in  the  way,  and 
"said  unto  them, 

18  Behold,  we  go  up  to  '"  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem;  and  "the  ^Son  of  man 
shall  be  ^betrayed  unto  the  chief 
''priests  and  unto  the  ^scribes, 
and  they  shall  condemn  him  to 
death, 

19  "And  shall  deliver  him  to 
the  'Gen'tlles  to  mock,  and  to 
"scourge,  and  to  "'"'crucify  him: 
and  the  third  day  ^he  shall  rise 
again. 

20  T[  ^Then  came  to  him  the 
^mother  of  '^Zeb'e-dee's  chil- 
dren with  her  ''■'"sons,  ''worship- 
ping him,  and  "desiring  a  certain 
thing  of  him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  her.  What 
wilt  thou  ?  She  ''saith  unto  him. 
Grant  that  these  my  two  ''•''sons 
may  sit,  the  one  on  thy  right 
hand,  and  the  other  on  the  left, 
in  "thy  kingdom. 

22  But  Je'sus  answered  and 
said.  Ye  ''know  not  what  ye  ask.

on  my  left,  is  not  mine  to  give, 
but  it  shall  he  given  io  them 
for  whom  it  is  prepared  of  ^my 
'Father. 

24  And  when  the  "'ten  heard  it, 
they  were  moved  with  "indigna- 
tion against  the  two  brethren. 

25  ""But  Je'.sus  called  them  unto 
him,  and  said.  Ye  know  that  the 
^princes  of  the  *Gen'tlle.s  exer- 
cise dominion  over  them,  and 
they  that  are  great  exercise  au-

26  But  it  shall  not  be  so  among

27  And  whosoever  will  be  chief 
among  you,  let  him  be  your

came  not  to  be  ministered  unto, 
but  ^to  minister,  and  to  ''•^-''give 
his ''life  a  ^■'"''ransom  for  many. 

29  ^  And  as  they  departed  from 
''Jer'i-ch5,  a  great  multitude  fol- 
lowed him. 

30  And,  behold,  two  ^^lind 
'men  sitting  by  the  way  side, 
when  they  heard  that  Je'.sus 
[massed  by,  cried  out,  saying,

32  And  Je'.sus  stood  still,  and 
called  them,  and  said,  What  will 
ye  that  I  shall  do  unto  you  ? 

33  They  say  unto  him,  ^Lord, 
that  our  eyes  may  be  opened. 

34  So  Je'.sus  had  "compassion 
on  them,  and  touched  their  eyes: 
and  immediately  their  eyes  ^re-

CHAPTER  21 

Jesus'  public  entry  Into  Jerusalem.  12  He 
drives  the  traders  out  of  the  temple;  17 
curses  c  fig  tree;  23  and  silences  those  who 
question  his  authority.  28  7'ftc  parable 
of  the  two  sons;  33  and  of  the  wicked  liiis-

AND  when  they  drew  nigh 
unto  "Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
were  come  to  *Beth'pha-ge,  unto 
the  mount  of  '^Ol'ive.s,  then  sent 
Je'sus  two  ''disciples, 

2  Saying  unto  them,  Go  into 
the  village  over  against  you,  and 
straightway  ye  shall  find  an  ''ass 
tied,  and  a  colt  with  her:  loose 
them,  and  bring  them  unto  me. 

3  And  if  any  man  say  ought 
unto  you,  ye  shall  say.  The  I^ord 
hath  need  of  them;  and  straight- 
way he  will  send  them. 

4  All  this  was  done,  that  ''■^'it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  the  prophet,  saying, 

5  ''-''Tell  ye  the  daughter  of

of  an  ass. 

6  And  the  ''disciples  went,  and 
^did  as  Je'sus  commanded  them, 

7  And  brought  the  "ass,  and 
the  colt,  and  put  on  them  their 
clothes,  and  they  set  him  there- 
on.

from  the  trees,  and  strawed  them 
in  the  way. 

9  And  the  multitudes  that  went 
before,  and  that  followed,  cried, 
saying,  "Ho-sjin'na  to  the  "son  of 
^Da'vid:  Blessed  is  he  that  com- 
eth  in  the  name  of  the  Lord; 
Ho  .san'na  in  the  highest. 

10  ^  And  when  he  was  *come 
into  "Je-rii'sa-lem,  all  the  city 
was  moved,  saying,  Who  is  this  ? 

11  And  the  multitude  said. 
This  is  Je'sus  the  'prophet  of 
'■Naz'a-reth'of  »Gal'i-lee. 

12  ^  'And  Je'sus  went  into  the 
''temple  of  God,  and  ^'cast  out  all 
them  that  "'sold  and  bought  in 
the  temple,  and  overthrew  the 
tables  of  the  moneychangers, 
and  the  seats  of  them  that  sold 
^  doves, 

13  And  said  unto  them.  It 
is  written.  My  house  shall  be 
called  the  ^'^ouse  of  prayer; 
but  ye  have  "made  it  a  den  of 
''thieves. 

14  And  the  "^blind  and  the  ''lame 
came  to  him  in  the  ^temple;  and 
he  ^'"healed  them. 

15  And  when  the  chief  ''priests 
and  'scribes  saw  the  wonderful 
''things  that  he  did,  and  the 
^children  crying  in  the  temple, 
and  saying,  ^Ho-.san'na  to  the 
^soii  of  '"Da'vid;  they  were  ^sore 
displeased, 

16  And  said  unto  him,  Hearest 
thou  what  these  say  ?  And  Je'- 
§us  saith  unto  them.  Yea;  have 
ye  never  read,  "Out  of  the  mouth 
of  "babes  and  sucklings  thou 
hast  perfected  *^praise  ? 

17  iVnd  he  left  them,  and  went 
out  of  the  city  into  ^Beth'a-ny; 
and  he  lodged  there. 

18  *\  'Now  in  the  morning  as 
he  returned  into  the  city,  he 
Hiungered. 

19  And  when  he  saw  a  *''fig 
tree  in  the  way,  he  came  to  it, 
and   found  "-"nothing  thereon, 


but  leaves  only,  and  ""said  unto 
it,  ^Let  no  fruit  grow  on  thee 
henceforward  for  ever.  And 
^presently  the  fig  tree  ^' ^with- 
ered away. 

20  And  when  the  ^disciples  saAv 
it,  they  marvelled,  saying,  How 
soon  is  the  **'fig  tree  ^withered 
away! 

21  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  "Verily  I  say  unto 
you.  If  ye  have  *faith,  and  Moubt 
not,  '^ye  shall  not  only  ^do  this 
wliich  is  done  to  the  ''fig  tree,  but 
also  if  ye  shall  say  unto  this 
''mountain.  Be  thou  removed, 
and  be  thou  cast  into  the  sea;  it 
shall  be  done. 

22  And  all  things,  whatsoever 
ye  shall  ask  in  Sprayer,  ''believ- 
ing, 'ye  shall  receive. 

23  ^  ^And  when  he  was  come 
into  the  ^temple,  the  chief 
'priests  and  the  "'elders  of  the 
people  came  unto  him  as  he 
was  "teaching,  and  said.  By 
what  authority  doest  thou  these 
things  ?  and  who  gave  thee  this 
authority  ? 

24  And  Je'sus  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  I  also  will  ask 
you  one  thing,  which  if  ye  tell 
me,  I  in  like  wise  will  tell  you  by 
what  authority  I  do  these  things. 

25  The  "baptism  of  John, 
whence  was  it  ?  from  ^heaven, 
or  of  men  ?  And  they  reasoned 
with  themselves,  saying.  If  we 
shall  say,  From  heaven;  he  will 
say  unto  us.  Why  did  ye  ''•'not 
then  believe  him  ? 

26  But  if  we  shall  say,  Of  men; 
we  '■fear  the  *people;  for  all  hold 
'John  as  a  "prophet. 

27  And  they  answered  Je'.sus, 
and  said.  We  cannot  tell.  And 
he  said  unto  them.  Neither  tell  I 
you  by  what  authority  I  do  these 
things. 

28  1  But  what  think  ye  ?  ''A 
certain  man  had  two  sons;  and

Son,  go  A\ork  to  day  in  my  '"vine-

29  He  aiLSwered  and  said,  I  will 
not:  but  afterward  he  ^repented, 
•I'ld  ^went. 

30  And  lie  came  to  the  second, 
and  said  likewise.  And  he  an- 
swered and  said,  I  go,  sir:  and 
"went  not. 

31  Whether  of  them  twain  did 
the  will  of  In's  father  ?  They  say 
unto  him,  The  first.  Je'.sus 
"saith  unto  them.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you.  That  the  ^publicans 
and  the  "^harlots  go  into  the 
''kingdom  of  God  before  you. 

32  For  ^John  came  unto  you  in 
the  way  of  righteousness,  and  ye 
/"believed  him  not:  but  the  ^pub- 
licans and  the  ''harlots  believed 
him:  and  ye,  when  ye  had  seen 
it,  ''repented  not  afterward,  that 
ye  might  believe  him. 

33  ^  Hear  another  'parable: 
'There  was  a  certain  household- 
er, which  planted  a  '•^'^'ineyard, 
and  hedged  it  round  about,  and 
digged  a  '"winepress  in  it,  and 
built  a  "'"tower,  and  ^-''let  «it  out 
to  "husbandmen,  and  went  into 
a  far  country: 

34  And  when  the  time  of  the 
fruit  drew  near,  he  sent  his 
'■■^servants  to  the  "husbandmen, 
that  they  might  receive  the  fruits 
of  it. 

35  ^And  the  "husbandmen 
took  his  '^'^serv'ants,  and  'beat 
one,  and  "killed  another,  and 
stoned  another. 

36  ^Again,  he  sent  other  ''•^serv- 
ants  more  than  the  first:  and 
they  did  unto  them  likewise. 

37  But  last  of  all  he  sent  unto 
them  his  "son,  saying,  They  will 
reverence  my  son. 

38  ^But  when  the  "husband- 
men saw  the  son,  they  '"said 
among  themselves,  This  is  the 


heir;  come,  let  us  kill  him,  and 
let  us  seize  on  his  inheritance. 

39  ^And  "they  caught  him,  and 
cast  him  out  of  the  ^- ^vineyard, 
and  "slew  him. 

40  When  the  lord  therefore  of 
the  ■'' ''vineyard  conicth,  what 
will  he  do  unto  those  "husband- 
men ? 

41  They  say  imto  him.  He 
will  miserably  ■^' ^destroy  those 
^' ^wicked  men,  and  will  let  out 
his  vineyard  unto  otiier  "hus- 
bandmen, which  shall  render 
him  the  fruits  in  their  "seasons. 

42  Je'sus  saith  unto  them.  Did 
ye  never  read  in  the  scri{)tures, 
*The  ''stone  which  the  builders 
''rejected,  the  same  is  become 
the  ''head  of  the  corner:  this  is 
the  Lord's  doing,  and  it  is  mar- 
vellous in  our  eyes  ? 

43  Therefore  ''say  ^I  unto  you, 
The  kingdom  of  Crod  shall  be 
''taken  from  ^'^you,  and  given  to 
a  nation  bringing  forth  the  fruits 
thereof. 

44  And  whosoever  shall  fall 
on  this  ''stone  shall  be  ^broken: 
but  on  whomsoever  it  shall  fall, 
it  will  *grind  him  to  jiowder. 

45  And  when  the  chief  'priests 
and  "'Pha,r'i-see,s  had  heard  his 
parables,  they  perceived  that  he 
spake  of  ''"them. 

46  But  when  they  sought  to  lay

like  unto  a  certain  king,  which 
made  a  ^■''marriage  for  his  son, 

3  And  sent  forth  his  ''•''servants 
to  ''call  them  that  were  'bidden 
to  the  ^' ^wedding:  and  'they 
would  not   come. 

4  Again,  he  sent  forth  other 
''•^servants,  saying.  Tell  them 
which  are  ''bidden.  Behold,  I 
have  prepared  my  'dinner:  my 
oxen  and  my  fatlings  are  killed, 
and  all  things  are  ready:  come 
unto   the   ''^marriage. 

5  But  'they  made  light  of  if, 
and  went  their  ways,  'one  to  his 
farm,  ^another  to  his  merchan- 
dise: 

6  And  the  remnant  took  his 
''■"servants,  and  entreated  tJieiii 
^spitefully,  and  '"slew  them. 

7  But  when  the  king  heard 
ihereof,  he  was  "wroth:  and  he 
sent  forth  his  armies,  and  "-^de- 
stroyed those  murderers,  and 
burned  up  their  city. 

8  Then  saith  he  to  his  ''•"serv- 
ants, The  wedding  is  ready,  but 
they  which  were  ''bidden  were 
not  worthy. 

9  Go  ye  therefore  ^into  the 
highways,  and  as  many  as  ye 
shall  find,  *bid  to  the  ^marriage. 

10  So  those  ^'"servants  went  out 
into  the  highways,  and  gathered 
together  all  as  many  as  they 
found,  both  bad  and  good:  and 
the  wedding  was  furnished  with 
guests. 

1 1  And  ^wlien  the  king  came  in 
to  see  the  guests,  he  saw  there  a 
man  which  had  not  on  a  wed- 
ding '■•^garment: 

12  And  he  saith  unto  him. 
Friend,  how  'earnest  thou  in 
hither  not  having  a  wedding 
garment  ?  And  he  was  speech- 
less. 

13  Then  said  the  king  to  the 
servants,  Bind  him  hand  and 
foot,  and  take  him  away,  and 


''cast  him  into  "outer  Markness; 
there  shall  be  ^^  ^weeping  and 
^gnashing  of  teeth. 

14  For  many  are  ''called,  but 
few  are   ^-"chosen. 

15  \  "Then  went  the  ^Fhar'i- 
see.s,  and  ''•^took  counsel  how 
they  might  ^entangle  him  in  his 
talk. 

16  And  "^they  sent  out  unto  him 
their  Misciples  with  the  "He- 
ro'di-an.s,  ''•'saying,  ^Master,  we 
know  that  thou  art  true,  and 
'teachest  the  way  of  God  in 
truth,  neither  carest  thou  for 
any  man:  for  thou  regardest 
not  the  person  of  men. 

17  Tell  us  therefore,  What 
thinkest  thou  ?  ''Is  it  lawful  to 
give  'tribute  unto  (^fe'sar,  or 
not  ? 

18  But  Je'sus  '"perceived  their 
'wickedness,  and  said.  Why 
tempt   ye    me,  ye   hypocrites  ? 

19  Shew  me  the  'tribute  money. 
And  they  brought  unto  him  a 
"penny. 

.'^0  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
Whose  is  this  "image  and  super- 
scription ? 

21  They  say  unto  him,  (,^86'- 
■sar's.  Then  saith  he  unto  them, 
''Render  therefore  unto  (^pe'sar 
the  ^things  which  are  Cf^^'-^ar's ; 
and  ''unto  God  the  things  that 
are  God's. 

22  When  ''they  had  heard  these 
words,  they  marvelled,  and  left 
him,  and  went  their  way. 

23  ^  *The  same  day  came  to 
him  the  *S3,dMu-9ee.s,  which  say 
that  there  is  no  'resurrection, 
and   asked  him, 

24  Saying,  ^Master,  Md'se.s 
"said,  ''If  a  man  "die,  having 
no  children,  his  ^brother  shall 
^marry  his  wife,  and  raise  up 
seed  unto  his  brother.

seven  brethren:  and  the  first, 
when  he  had  married  a  wife, 
'"deceased,  and,  having  no  issue, 
left  his  wife  unto  his  brother: 

26  Likewise  the  second  also, 
and  the  third,  unto  the  seventh. 

27  And  last  of  all  the  woman 
'"died  also. 

28  Therefore  in  the  'resurrec- 
tion whose  wife  shall  she  be  of 
the  seven  ?  for  they  all  '^had  her. 

29  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  Ye  do  err,  ^-"not 
knowing  the  scriptures,  nor  the 
''power  of   God. 

30  For  in  the  "^resurrection  they 
neither  ''marry,  nor  are  given  in 
marriage,  but  are  as  the  ''angels 
of  God  in  ''heaven. 

31  But  as  touching  the  '"resur- 
rection of  the  dead,  have  ye  not 
read  that  which  ''was  spoken 
unto  you  by  God,  saying^, 

32  H  am  the  God  of  A'bra- 
ham,  and  the  God  of  I'.saac,  and 
the  God  of  Ja'cob  ?  God  is  not 
the  God  of  the  dead,  but  of  the 
'living. 

33  And  when  the  multitude 
heard  this,  they  were  astonished 
at  his  ^"'doctrine. 

34  t  *But  when  the  ^Phar'i- 
sees  had  heard  that  he  had  put 
the  Sad'du-9ee.s  to  silence,  they 
were  gathered  together. 

35  Then  one  of  them,  whicJi 
was  a  ^lawyer,  asked  him  a  ques- 
tion, tempting  him,  and  saying, 

36  ^Master,  which  is  the  great 
commandment  in  the  '"'"law  ? 

37  Je'.sus  said  unto  him, 
"■"'^Thou  shalt  ^-Hove  the  Lord 
thy  God  with  all  thy  *heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all 
thy  mind. 

38  "This  is  the  first  and  gn^at 
commandment. 


30  And  the  second  is  like  unto 
it,  "''-"Thou  shalt  "•'"love  thy 
■'^neighbour  as  thyself. 

40  On  these  two  command- 
ments hang  all  the  '"law  and  the 
"prophets. 

41  t  While  the  ^Phar'i-see.s 
were  gathered  together,  "Je'.sus 
asked  them, 

42  Saying,  What  think  ye  of 
''Christ  ?  whose  son  is  he  ?  They 
say  unto  him,  llie  ''soji  of 
"Da'vid. 

43  He  saith  unto  them,  How 
tlien  doth  Da'vid  in  'spirit  call 
him  ''Lord,  saying, 

44  "^The  Lord  said  unto  my 
T^ord,  ''Sit  thou  on  my  right 
hand,  till  I  make  thine  enemies 
thy  n'ootstool  ? 

45  If  DaVid  then  call  him 
"Lord,  how  is  he  his  ''son  ? 

46  And  no  man  was  able  to  an- 
swer him  a  word,  neither  durst 
any  ina7i  from  that  day  forth  ask 
him  any  more  questions.

xX  departed  from  the  *tem-

him  for  to  shew  him  the  build-

ily ''I  say  unto  you.  There  shall 
not  be  left  here  one  stone  upon

Tell  us,  when  shall  these  things 
be  ?  and  what  ,shall  he  the  ^sign

eth  out  of  the  east,  and  shineth 
even  unto  the  west;  so  shall  also 
the  'coming  of  the  Son  of  man  be.

the  "^sun  "be  ^^  ^darkened,  and 
the  ''moon  "shall  ^not  give  her 
light,  and  the  *stars  shall  "fall 
from  'heaven,  and  "the  powers 
of  the  heavens  shall  be  shaken: 

30  And  then  shall  appear  the 
"sign  of  the  "Son  of  man  in 
heaven;  and  then  shall  all  the 
tribes  of  the  earth  "'mourn,  and 
they  shall  see  the  ^Son  of  man 
coming  in  the  clouds  of  heaven 
with  power  and  great  glory. 

31  And  he  shall  send  his 
^angels  with  a  great  sound  of  a 
^trumpet,  and  ^they  shall  gather 
together  his  ^elect  from  the  four 
winds,  from  one  end  of  heaven 
to  the  other.

CHAPTER  26 

The  rulers  conspire  against  Jesus.  6  At 
Bethany  a  woman  anoints  his  head.  14 
Judas  conspires  against  liim.  17  Jesus 
keeps  the  passover:  26  institutes  the  Lord's 
supper;  36  prays  in  the  garden;  47  and 
is  betrayed  xuith  a  kiss.  57  He  is  brought 
before  the  high  priest  and  condemned. 
69  Peter  denies  him. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Je'sus  had  finished  all 
these  sayings,  "he  said  unto  his 
''disciples, 

2  Ye  know  that  '^after  two  days 
is  the  '^ feast  of  the  ^passover,  and 
the  ''Son  of  man  is  ^betrayed  to 
be  ''crucified. 

3  ^  Then  assembled  together 
the  chief  '^priests,  ^and  the 
scribes,  and  the  elders  of  the 
people,  unto  the  ^palace  of  the 
high  ■'priest,  who  was  called 
*Ca'ia-phas, 

4  And  *' 'consulted  that  they 
might  take  Je'sus  by  '"subtilty, 
and  kill  him. 

5  But  they  said.  Not  on  the 
''feast  day,  lest  there  be  an  up- 
roar among  the  people. 

6  ^"Now  when  Je'.sus  was  in 
"Beth^a-ny,  in  the  house  of  ^Sl'- 
mon  the  "leper, 

7  ''There  came  unto  him  a 
"woman  having  an  'alabaster 
"box  of  very  precious  ^ointment, 
and  "'poured  it  on  -^his  head,  as 
he  sat  at  meat. 

8  But  when  his  ''disciples  saw 
ft,  they  had  indignation, ^saying, 
To  what  purpose  is  this  waste? 

9  For  this  "ointment  might  have 
been  sold  for  much,  and  given 
to  the  ^poor. 

10  When  Je'sus  understood  it, 
he  said  unto  them,  Why  trouble 
ye  the  woman  ?  for  she  hath 
wrought  a  good  work  u])on  me. 

11  For  ye  have  the  ^poor  al- 
ways with  you;  but  me  ye  have 
not  always. 

12  "-"For  in  that  she  hath 
poured  this  '^ointment  on  my 
body,  she  did  it  Hor  my  ''burial. 


13  Verily  ''I  say  unto  you. 
Wheresoever  this  ^gospel  shall  be 
"preached  in  the  whole  world, 
tJiere  shall  also  this,  that  this 
woman  hath  done,  be  told  for  a 
memorial  of  her. 

14  ^  *Then  one  of  the 
'twelve,  called-' Ju'das  Is-ct\r'i-ot, 
^■'■"'went  imto  the  chief  priests, 

15  ^•''"'xA.nd  said  utiio  them, 
"What  will  ye  give  me,  and  I 
will  deliver  him  unto  you  ?  And 
they  ^' "covenanted  with  him  for 
thirty  pieces  of  ^silver. 

16  And  from  that  time  %e 
''sought  opportunity  to  betray 
him. 

17  II  «Now  the  first  dat/  of  the 
^feast  of  unleavened  bread  the 
'disciples  came  to  Je'.sus,  saying 
unto  him,  Where  wilt  thou  that 
we  prepare  for  thee  to  eat  the 
"passover  ? 

18  And  he  said,  Go  into  the 
city  to  such  a  man,  and  say  unto 
him.  The  ^''Master  saith,  INIy 
time  is  at  hand;  I  will  keep  the 
"passover  at  thy  house  with  my 
'disci]  )les. 

19  And  the  "'"disciples  did  as 
Je'sus  had  appointed  them ;  and 
they  made  ready  the  "jiassover. 

20  ^  "'Now  when  the  even  was 
come,  he  sat  down  with  the 
'twelve. 

21  And  as  they  did  eat,  he  said. 
Verily  ""I  say  unto  you,  that  'one 
of  you  shall  betray  me. 

22  And  they  were  exceeding 
sorrowful,  and  ^began  every  one 
of  them  to  say  unto  him,  Lord, 
is  it  I  ? 

23  And  he  answered  and  said. 
He  that  dipj^eth  his  hand  with 
me  in  the  dish,  the  same  shall 
betray  me. 

24  The  Son  of  man  goeth  as  it 
is  written  of  him:  but  ^woe  unto 
that  man  by  whom  the  Son  of 
man  is  betrayed!  it  had  been

47  T[  *Ancl  while  he  yet  spake, 
lo,  '■Ju'das,  one  of  the  "twelve, 
came,  and  with  him  a  great  mul- 
titude with  'swords  and  staves, 
from  the  chief  ''priests  and  ^el- 
ders of  the  people. 

48  Now  "•'"he  that  ^betrayed 
him  gave  them  a  sign,  saying, 
Whomsoever  I  shall  ^kiss,  that 
same  is  he:  hold  him  fast. 

49  And  forthwith  he  ^came  to 
Je'sus,  and  said,  ^Hail,  ^-"mas- 
ter; and  '"'''kissed  him. 

50  And  '^Je'.sus  said  unto 
him.  Friend,  ^wherefore  art  thou 
come  ?  Then  came  they,  and 
'^laid  hands  on  Je'sas,  and  ■''took 
''him. 

51  And,  behold,  ''one  of  them 
which  Vv'ere  with  Je'sus  stretched 
out  his  hand,  and  drew  his 
''sword,  and  'struck  a  Servant  of 
the  ^high  priest's,  and  smote  off 
his  ear. 

52  Then  said  ''Je'sus  unto  him, 
Put  up  again  thy  ''sword  into 
his  place:  for  'all  they  that  take 
the  sword  shall  perish  with  the 
sword. 

53  Thinkest  thou  that  I  cannot 
now  pray  to  '"my  "Father,  and 
he  shall  presently  give  me  more 
than  twelve  leg-ions  of  "anjxels? 

54  But  how  then  shall  the 
''scriptures  be  fulfilled,  that  thus 
it  must  be  ? 

55  In  that  same  hour  said  '' Je'- 
sus  to  the  multitudes.  Are  ye 
come  out  as  against  a  ^thief  with 
''swords  and  staves  for  to  take 
me  ?  I  sat  daily  with  you  '^teach- 
ing in  the  *temple,  and  ye  laid  no

56  But  all  this  was  done,  that 
the  ''scrijitures  of  the  'prophets 
might  be  fulfilled.  "Then  all  the

that  he  was  condemned,  ^■^-  ^-'rc- 
pented  himself,  and  brought

Hearest  thou  not  how  many 
things  they  witness  against  thee  ? 

14  And  ■'he  answered  him  to 
'^'never  a  word;  insomuch  that 
the  governor  marvelled  greatly. 

15  *ff  Now  at  that  ^feast  the  gov- 
ernor was  wont  to  release  unto 
the  people  a  ■'■' "'prisoner,  whom 
they  would. 

16  And  they  had  then  a  notable 
■'■•'"prisoner,  called    "Ba-rab'bas. 

17  '^Therefore  when  they  were 
gathered  together,  *Pi'late  said 
unto  them.  Whom  will  ye  that  I 
release  unto  you  ?  "Ba-rab'bas, 
or  Je'sus  which  is  called  Christ  ? 

18  For  he  knew  that  for  "'"envy 
they  had  delivered  him. 

19  H  '^When  *'Phe  was  set 
down  on  the  ^judgment  seat,

ing. Have  thou  nothing  to  do 
with  that  *just  man:  for  I  have 
suffered  many  things  this  day  in 
a  "dream  because  of  him. 

20  But  the  chief  ''priests  and 
'elders  persuaded  the  multitude 
that  they  should  nsk  "Ba-rab'- 
bas, and  destroy  Je'sus. 

21  The  governor  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  Whether  of  the 
^twain  will  ye  that  I  release  unto 
you  ?    They  said,   "Ba-rab'bas. 

22  *Pilate  saith  unto  them.

which  is  called  Christ?  TJiey 
all  say  unto  him.  Let  him  be 
crucified. 

23  And  the  governor  said.  Why, 
what  evil  hath  he  done  ?  But 
they  cried  out  the  more,  saying, 
Let  him  be  crucified. 

24  "•"'When  *^^Pl'late  saw  that

prophet,  ''They  parted  my  gar- 
ments among  them,  and  up- 
on my  vesture  did  they  cast 
lots. 

36  And  sitting  down  they 
watched  him  there; 

37  And  set  up  over  his  head 
his  ■''accusation  written,  ''•^THIS 
IS  JE'SUS  "THE  KING  OF 
THE  JE^^'§. 

38  Then  were  there  two 
^'^'^thieves  "crucified  with  him, 
one  on  the  right  hand,  and  an- 
other on  the  left. 

39  ^  And  they  that  passed  by 
'•^'reviled  him,  wagging  their 
heads, 

40  And  ''^saying.  Thou  that 
destroyest  the  ^temple,  and  build- 
est  if  in  three  days,  save  thyself. 
If  thou  be  the  "'Son  of  God,  come 
down  from  the  "^cross. 

41  Likewise  also  the  chief 
"priests  ''^mocking  him,  with 
the  ^scribes  and  ^elders,  said, 

42  '■*IIe  saved  others;  '"himself 
he  cannot  save.  ''•■'• '^If  he  be  the

we  will  believe  him. 

43  ^'^He  trusted  in  God;  Met 
him  deliver  him  now,  if  he  will 
have  him:  for  he  said,  I  am  the 
'"Son  of  God. 

44  The  ''•Hhieves  also,  which 
were  "crucified  with  him,  '•'^cast 
^the  same  in  his  teeth. 

45  T[  Now  from  the  sixth  hour 
there  was  *■ 'darkness  over  all 
the  land  unto  the  ninth  hour. 

46  And  about  the  ninth  hour 
Je'.:^us  ''cried  with  a  loud  voice, 


saying,  *'EMi,  E'li,  la'ina  sa- 
bach'tha-ni  ?  that  is  to  say,  ''"My 
God,  my  God,  why  hast  thou 
forsaken  me  ? 

47  Some  of  them  that  stood 
there,  ^\  hen  they  heard  ihai,  said. 
This  man  calleth  for  ^L-ll'as. 

48  And  straightway  one  of  them 
ran,  and  took  a  ^spunge,  and 
filled  it  with  ^vinegar,  ami  \mt  it 
on  a  reed,  and  gave  him  to  drink. 

49  The  rest  said.  Let  be,  let  us 
see  whether  E-ll'as  will  come  to 
save  him. 

50  ^  °  Je'.sus,  when  he  had  cried 
again  wdth  a  loud  voice,  ''yielded 
up  ^the  ghost. 

51  And,  behold,  ^the  ''veil  of 
the  ^temple  was  rent  in  twain 
from  the  top  to  the  bottom;  and 
the  earth  did  ''quake,  and  the 
rocks  rent; 

52  And  the  "graves  were 
opened;  and  many  bodies  of 
the  saints  which  slept  ''arose, 

53  And  came  out  of  the  "graves 
after  his  'resurrection,  and  went 
into  the  ^'holy  city,  and  appeared 
unto  many. 

54  Now  when  the  ^-'centurion, 
and  they  that  were  with  him, 
watching  Je'sus,  saw  the  ^earth- 
quake, and  those  things  that 
were  done,  they  feared  greatly, 
saying,  Truly  this  was  the  "'Son

55  "'"And  many  ^women  were 
there  beholding  afar  off,  which 
followed  Je'.sus  from  ^'Gal'i-lee,

57  T[  ^When  the  even  was  come, 
there  came  a  ^rich  man  of  ^Ar-i- 
ma-thae'a,  named  "Jo'seph,  who 
also  himself  was  Je'.sus'  disciple: 

58  "He  went  to  Pi'late,  and 
begged  the  body  of  Je'sus.  Then 
Pi'late  commanded  the  body  to 
be  delivered. 

59  And  when  "Jo'seph  had 
taken  the  *body,  he  wrapped  it 
in  a  clean  linen  cloth, 

60  And  laid  it  in  his  ov/n  new 
'^tomb,  which  he  had  hewn  out 
in  the  rock:  and  he  rolled  a  great 
''stone  to  the  door  of  the  '^sepul- 
chre,  ?nd  departed. 

61  And  there  was  ®Ma'ry  Mag- 
da-le'ne,  and  the  other  *Ma'ry, 
sitting  over  again.st  the  ''sepul- 
chre. 

62  Tf  Now  the  ^next  day,  that 
followed  the  day  of  the  ''prep- 
aration, the  chief  ''priests  and 
Thar'i-see.s  came  together  unto 
Pi'late, 

63  Saying,  Sir,  we  remember 
that  that  deceiver 'said,  while  he 
was  yet  alive.  After  three  days 
*I  will  rise  again. 

64  Commantl  therefore  that  the 
'"sepulchre  be  made  sure  vmtil 
the  third  day,  lest  his  Misciples 
come  '''by  night,  and  steal  him 
away,  and  say  unto  the  people. 
He  is  risen  from  the  dead:  so 
the  last  error  shall  be  worse  than 
the  first. 

65  Pi'late  said  unto  them,  Ye 
have  a  '"watch:  go  your  way, 
make  Ht  as  sure  as  ye  can. 

66  So  they  went,  and  made 
the  '^sepulchre  sure,  "sealing  the 
stone,  and  setting  a  "'watch. 

CHAPTER  28 

The  resurrection  of  Jesus.  9  He  appears 
to  the  women.  11  The  soldiers  bribed. 
16  Jesus  meets  his  disciples  on  a  moun- 
tain in  Galilee.    18  The  great  commission. 

''TN  the  end  of  the  ''sabbath, 

JL    as  it  began  to  dawn  toward 

the  first  day  of  the  week,  ''•''came 


''Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne  and  the 
other  'Ma'ry  to  see  the  "sepul- 
chre. 

2  And,  behold,  there  was  a 
great ''earthquake:  for  the 'angel 
of  the  Lord  descended  from 
heaven,  and  came  and  rolled 
back  the  stone  'from  the  door, 
and  sat  upon  it. 

3  His  ^countenance  was  like 
'lightning,  and  his  raiment 
'''white   as  'snow: 

4  And  for '"fear  of  him  the  keep- 
ers did  shake,  and  became  as 
dead  men. 

5  And  the  ^angel  answered  and 
said  unto  the  women,  "Fear  not 
ye:  for  I  know  that  ye  seek  Je'- 
■sus,  which  was  "crucified. 

6  He  is  not  here:  for  he  is 
*risen,  as  he  said.  Come,  see 
the  place  where  the  Lord  lay. 

7  And  go  quickly,  and  tell  his 
''disciples  that  he  is  *risen  from 
the  dead;  and,  behold,  he  goeth 
before  you  into  ^Gal^i-lee;  there 
shall  ye  see  him:  lo,  I  have  told 
you. 

8  And  they  departed  quickly 
from  the  "sepulchre  with  fear 
and  great  '^joy;  and  did  run  to 
bring  his  ''disciples  word. 

9  ^  And  ^as  they  went  to  tell  his 
''disciples,  behold,  *Je'.sus  met 
them,  saying,  'AH  hail.  And 
they  came  and  "held  him  by  the 
feet,  and  "worshipped  him. 

10  Then  said  Je'.sus  unto  them. 
Be  not  afraid:  go  tell  my  breth- 
ren that  they  go  into  'Gal'i-lee, 
and  there  shall  they  see  me. 

11  ^  Now  when  they  were  go- 
ing, behold,  some  of  the  "'watch 
came  into  the  city,  and  shewed 
unto  the  chief  ^priests  all  the 
things  that  were  done. 

12  And  when  ^they  were  as- 
sembled with  the  ^elders,  and 
had  taken  counsel,  they  ^gave 
large  "money  unto  the  ''soldiers,

THE  beginning  of  the  "gospel 
of  *Je'sus  Christ,  the  '^Son 
of  God;

shall  prepare  thy  way  before  thee.

with  the  ^hired  servants,  and 
went  after  him. 

21  ^And  they  went  into  °Ca-

22  And  ^they  were  astonished 
at  his  ^■Moctrine:  for  he  taught 
them  as  one  that  liad  authority, 
and  not  as  the  ''scribes. 

23  And  there  was  in  their  '^syn-

24  Saying,  ^Let  us  alone;  what 
have  we  to  do  with  thee,  thou 
^■Je'sus  of  'Naz'a-reth  ?  art  thou

liad  torn  him,  and  cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  he  "came  out  of

27  And  they  were  all  amazed, 
insomuch  that  they  questioned 
among  themselves,  saying.  What 
thing  is  this?  what  new  "doctrine 
is  this?  for  with  authority  com- 
mandeth  he  even  the  %nclean 
spirits,  and  they  do  obey  him. 

28  And  immediately  his  ''fame 
spread  abroad  throughout  all  the 
region  ^round  about  '^Gill'i-lee. 

29  Tf  knd  forthwith,  when  they 
were  come  out  of  the  "synagogue,

Mames  and  ^John. 

30  "But  '■•''Si'mon's  '^wife's 
^mother  lay  sick  ot  a  ^fever, 
and  anon  they  tell  him  of  her. 

31  And  he  came  and  took  her 


by  the  hand,  and  lifted  her  up; 
and  immediately  the  ^fever  °'^left 
her,  and  she  ministered  unto 
them. 

32  T[  And  at  even,  when  the  sun 
did  set,  they  "brought  unto  liiin 
all  that  were  *•  diseased,  and 
them  that  were  possessed  with 
''devils. 

33  And  ''all  the  city  was  gath- 
ered together  at  the  door. 

34  And  he  ''healed  many  tliat 
were  '^sick  of  divers  ''diseases, 
and  ''cast  out  many  ''devils;  and 
"suffered  not  the  de\  ils  to  speak, 
because  they  knew  him. 

35  \  And  in  the  morning, 
''rising  up  a  great  Avhile  before 
day,  he  went  out,  and  departed

45  But  he  went  out,  %nd  ^be- 
gan to  pubHsh  it  much,  and  to 
blaze  abroad  the  matter,  inso- 
much that  Je'gus  could  no  more 
openly  enter  into  the  city,  but 
was  without  in  desert  places :  and 
"they  came  to  him  from  every 
quarter. 

CHAPTER  2 

Jesus  heals  one  sick  of  the  palsy;  14  calls 
Levi;  15  cats  with  publicans  and  sinners: 
18  and  justifies  his  disciples  in  not  fast- 
ing. 23  The  disciples  pluck  ears  of  corn 
on  the  Sabbath. 

AND  again  °he  entered  into 
^Ca-per'na-iim  after  some 
days;  and  it  was  noised  that  he 
was  in  the  house. 

2  And  straightway  ''many  were 
gathered  together,  insomuch  that 
there  was  no  room  to  receive 
them,  no,  not  so  much  as  about 
the  door:  and  ''he  '^p reached  the 
word  unto  them. 

3  And  they  come  unto  him, 
''bringing  one  sick  of  the  *palsy, 
which  was  borne  of  four. 

4  And  when  they  could  not 
come  nigh  unto  him  for  the 
press,  they  uncovered  the  "roof 
where  he  was:  and  when  they 
had  broken  it  up,  they  let  down 
the  bed  wherein  the  sick  of  the 
*palsy  lay. 

5  When  '' Je'sus  saw  their  ^faith, 
he  said  unto  the  sick  of  the 
*palsy.  Son,  ^thy  sins  ^be  ^for- 
given thee. 

6  But  there  were  certain  of  the 
'scribes  sitting  there,  and  rea- 
soning in  their  hearts, 

7  '"Why  doth  this  man  thus 
speak  "blasphemies  ?  '"who  can 
forgive  sins  but  God  only  ? 

8  And  immediately  when  "Je'- 
.sus  perceived  in  his  spirit  that 


they  so  reasoned  within  them- 
selves, he  said  unto  them.  Why 
reason  ye  these  things  in  your 
hearts  ? 

9  Whether  is  it  easier  to  say  to 
the  sick  of  the  *palsy.  Thy  sins 
be  forgiven  thee;  or  to  say. 
Arise,  and  take  up  thy  bed,  and 
walk  ? 

10  But  ^that  ye  may  know  that 
the  ^'^Son  of  man  hath  power  on 
earth  to  forgive  sins,  (he  saith  to 
the  sick  of  the  *palsy,) 

11  I  say  unto  thee,  Arise,  and 
take  up  thy  bed,  and  go  thy  way 
into  thine  house. 

12  And  immediately  he  '■ ''arose, 
took  up  the  bed,  and  went  forth 
before  them  all;  insomuch  that 
they  were  all  amazed,  and  glori- 
fied God,  saying,  We  never  saw 
it  on  this  fashion. 

13  ^  And  "he  went  forth  again 
by  the  *sea  side;  and  all  the  mul- 
titude resorted  unto  him,  and  he 
''"taught  them. 

14  And  as  he  passed  by,  he  saw 
'^'"'LeVi  the  son  of  Al-phse'us  sit- 
ting at  the  receipt  of  ^' ^custom, 
and  said  unto  him,  ^•^- "Follow 
me.  And  he  *arose  and  followed 
liim. 

15  ''And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
as  Je^sus  ''sat  at  meat  in  his 
house,  many  '^publicans  and  sin- 
ners sat  also  together  with  Je'sus 
and  his  Misciples:  "for  there 
were  many,  and  they  followed 
him. 

16  And  when  the  '^scribes  ^and 
ThS.r'i-see.s  saw  him  eat  with 
''publicans  and  sinners,  they  said 
unto  his  'disciples,  '•'''How  is  it 
that  he  eateth  and  drinketh  with 
publicans  and  sinners  ? 

17  When  Je'.sus  heard  it,  he 
saith  unto  them.  They  that  are 
whole  have  no  need  of  the  'phy- 
sician, but  they  that  are  '"sick: 
"I  came  not  to  call  the  ^■''right-

CHAPTER  4 

The  parable  of  the  sower,  14  and  its  exposi- 
tion. 21  A  candle  not  to  be  put  under  a 
bushel.  26  The  parable  of  the  seed  groie- 
ing.  30  and  of  the  mustard  seed.  35  Je- 
sus stills  a  storm  on  the  sea. 


A: 


ND  he  began  again  to 
'^•''teacJi  by  the  ''sea  side: 
and  ''there  was  gathered  unto 
him  a  great  multitude,  so  that  he 
entered  into  a  ship,  and  sat  in 
the  sea;  and  the  whole  multitude 
was  by  the  sea  on  the  land. 

2  And  he  "'^taught  them  many 
things  by  Sparables,  and  said 
unto  them  in  his  ^doctrine, 

3  Hearken;  Behold,  there  went 
out  a  ^' ''sower  to 

as  he 


"sow : 
to  pass. 


4  And  it  came 
''sowed,  some  fell  by  the  way 
side,  *and  the  fowls  of  the  air 
came  and  devoured  it  up. 

5  And  some  fell  on  stony 
ground,  where  it  had  not  much 
earth;  and  immediatcily  it  sprang 
up,  because  it  had  ■'•■''no  dej)th  of 
earth: 

6  But  when  tlie  sun  was  up,  it 
was  scorched;  and  because  it  had 
'•^'no  root,  it  Svithered  away. 


choked   it,    and   it   'yielded   no 
fruit. 

8  And  other  fell  on  good 
ground,  and  did  '"yield  fruit  that 
sprang  up  and  increased;  and 
'"brought  forth,  some  thirty,  and 
some  sixty,  and  some  an  hun- 
dred. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  "He 
that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him 
"hear. 

10  Tf  x\nd  when  he  was  alone, 
the}-  that  were  about  him  with 
the  ^twelve  asked  of  him  the 
parable. 

11  And  he  said  unto  them.  Un- 
to ^'*you  it  is  given  to  '^know 
the  *mystery  of  the  ^kingdom  of 
God:  but  unto  them  that  are 
without,  all  these  things  are  done 
in  parables: 

12  That  seeing  they  may  see, 
and  "-''not  perceive;  and  hear- 
ing they  may  hear,  and  not  "-^un- 
derstand; lest  at  any  time 
they  should  "be  converted,  and 
tJteir  sins  should  be  ""forgiven 
them. 

13  And  he  said  unto  '^them, 
Know  ye  not  this  ]:)arable  ?  and 
how  then  will  ye  know  all  par- 
ables ?

sown;  but  when  they  have  heard, 
''•''Sa'tan  cometh  immediately, 
and  taketh  away  the  word  that 
was  sown  in  their  hearts. 

16  And  these  are  they  likewise 
which  are  sown  on  stony  ground ; 
who,  when  they  have  heard  the 
«.6.Svord,  immediately  receive  it 
with  gladness; 

17  And  have  no  root  in  them-

the  *• '^word's  sake,  immediately 
^they  %re  offended. 

18  And  these  are  they  which 
are  sown  among  *  thorns;  such 
as  hear  the  °'*''^word, 

19  And  the  "-^''"cares  of  this 
world,  and  "the  deceitfulness 
of  ''■"riches,  and  the  ^lusts  of 
other  things  entering  in,  choke 
the  word,  and  it  becometh  *un- 
fruitful. 

20  And  ''these  are  they  which 
are  sown  on  good  ground;  such 
as  hear  the  "•''■'^word,  and  *  re- 
ceive it,  and  bring  forth  'fruit, 
some  thirtyfold,  some  sixty,  and 
some  an  hundred. 

21  ^  iVnd  he  "said  unto  them. 
Is  a  "•"'■^candle  brought  to  be 
put  under  a  bushel,  or  under 
a  bed  ?  and  not  to  be  set  on  a 
candlestick  ? 

22  ^For  there  is  nothing  ^hid, 
which  shall  not  be  manifested; 
neither  was  any  thing  kept 
secret,  but  that  it  should  come 
Abroad. 

23  If  any  man  have  ears  to 
hear,    let  him   "hear. 

24  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Take  heed  what  ye  hear:  ''•''with 
what  measure  ye  mete,  it  shall 
be  measured  to  you:  and  ^  ''un- 
to you  that  hear  shall  more  be 
given. 

25  For  '^•'^he  that  ''hath,  to  him 
shall  be  given:  and  he  that  hath 
not,  from  him  shall  be  taken  even 
that  which  he  hath. 

26  ^  And  he  ^said.  So  is 
the  "•''kingdom  oi  God,  as  if  a 
man  should  cast  seed  into  the 
ground; 

27  And  should  sleep,  and  rise 
night  and  day,  and  the  seed 
should  spring  and  grow  up,  he 
knoweth  not  how. 

28  For  Hhe  earth  bringeth  forth 
fruit  of  herself;  first  the  blade, 
then  the  ear,  after  that  the  full 
'corn  in  the  ear. 

29  But    when    the    fruit    is 

1364 


brought  forth,  immediately  he 
putteth  in  the  ''^sickle,  because 
the  harvest  is  come. 

30  T[  And  he  'said,  Whereunto 
shall  we  liken  the  "•''kingdom  of 
God?  or  with  what  ^comparison 
shall  we  compare  it  ? 

31  "'''/^  is  like  a  grain  of  'mus- 
tard seed,  which,  when  it  is  sown 
in  the  earth,  is  less  than  all  the 
seeds  that  be  in  the  earth: 

32  But  when  it  is  sown,  it  grow- 
eth  up,  and  becometh  greater 
than  all  herbs,  and  shooteth  out 
great  branches ;  so  that  the  fowls 
of  the  air  may  lodge  under  the 
shadow  of  it. 

33  And  with  many  such  'par- 
ables '"spake  he  the  word  unto 
them,  as  they  were  able  to  hear  it. 

34  But  without  a  'parable 
'"spake  he  not  unto  them:  antl 
when  they  were  alone,  he  ex- 
pounded all  things  to  his  "dis- 
ciples. 

35  Tf  And  the  same  day,  when 
the  even  was  come,  he  saith  unto 
them.  Let  us  pass  over  unto  the 
other  side. 

36  And  when  they  had  sent 
away  the  multitude,  they  took 
him  even  as  he  was  in  the 
^■"ship.  And  there  were  also 
with  him  other  little  ^ships. 

37  ^And  there  arose  a  great 
storm  of  *wind,  and  the  waves 
beat  into  the  ship,  so  that  it  was 
now  full. 

38  And  he  was  in  the  hinder 
part  of  the  ship,  ''asleep  on  a  pil- 
low: and  they  awake  him,  and 
say  unto  him.  Master,  *''carest 
thou  not  that  we  perish  ? 

39  And  he  arose,  and  rebuked 
the  wind,  and  said  unto  the  sea, 
Peace,  be  still.  And  the  'wind 
"'  "ceased,  and  there  was  a  great 
calm. 

40  And  he  said  unto  them, 
""Why  are  ye  so  »■ 'fearful  ?  »how 
is  it  that  ye  have  no  ^faith  ? 

41  And  they  feared  exceedingly.

CHAPTER  5 

Jesus  casts  out  the  legioii  of  devils,  11  which 
enter  into  a  herd  of  swine.  22  Jairus 
entreats  him.  25  lie  heals  the  woman  of 
an  issue  of  blood;  35  and  raises  the 
daughter  of  Jairus. 

AND  "^they  came  over  unto  the 
other  side  of  tlie  *sea,  into 
the  country  of  the^Gad'a-rencs. 

2  And  when  he  was  come  out 
of  the  ^•''ship,  immediately  there 
met  him  out  of  the  '^tombs  a  man 
with  an  ''unclean  spirit, 

3  Who  had  his  dwelHns:  amonc: 
the  '^tombs;  and  no  man  could 
bind  him,  no,  not  with  ^chains: 

4  Because  that  he  had  been 
often  bound  with  *fetters  and 
'chains,  and  the  chains  had  been 
plucked  asunder  by  him,  and  the 
fetters  broken  in  pieces:  ^neither 
could  any  man  tame  him. 

5  And  always,  "night  and  ''day, 
he  was  in  the  mountains,  and  in 
the  ''tombs,  crying,  and  cutting 
himself  with  stones. 

6  But  when  he  saw  Je'sus  afar 
off,  he  ran  and  hvorshipped  liim, 

7  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
and  'said.  What  have  I  to  do 
with  thee,  Je'sus,  thou  ^'Son  of 
the  most  high  God  ?  I  adjure 
thee  by  God,  that  thou  torment 
me  not. 

8  For  he  said  unto  him,  Come 
out  of  the  man,  thou  unclean 
spirit, 

9  And  he  asked  ''him.  What  is 
thy  name  ?  And  he  answered, 
saying.  My  name  is  Legion:  for 
we  are  many. 

10  And  ''he  besought  him  much 
that  he  would  not  send  them 
away  out  of  the  country. 

11  Now  there  was  there  nigh 
unto  the  mountains  a  great  herd 
of  'swine  feeding. 

12  And  all  the  "devils  besought 
him,  saying.  Send  us  into  the 


'swine,  that  we  may  enter  into 
them. 

13  And  forthwith  "'Je'sus  gave 
them  leave.  And  the  unclean 
spirits  went  out,  and  entered  into 
the  swine:  and  the  herd  ran  vio- 
lently down  a  steep  place  into 
the  ''sea,  (tliey  were  about  two 
thousand;)  and  were  choked  in 
the  sea. 

14  And  they  that  fed  the  'swine 
fled,  and  told  it  in  the  city,  and 
in  the  country.  And  they  went 
out  to  see  what  it  was  that  was 
done. 

15  And  they  come  to  Je'.sus, 
and  see  him  that  was  possessed 
with  the  ''devil,  and  had  the  le- 
gion, sitting,  and  clothed,  and  in 
his  right  mind:  and  they  were 
afraid. 

16  And  they  that  saw  it  told 
them  how  it  befell  to  him  that 
was  possessed  with  the  devil,  and 
also  concerning  the  'swine. 

17  And  they  began  to  pray 
"him  to  depart  out  of  their 
coasts. 

18  And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  "ship,  he  that  had  been 
possessed  with  the  devil  "prayed 
him  that  he  might  be  with  him. 

19  Howbeit  Je^sus  suffered  him 
not,  but  saith  unto  him,  ^Go 
home  to  thy  friends,  and  ^tell 
them  how  great  things  the  Lord 
hath  done  for  thee,  and  hath 
had   ''compassion   on   thee. 

20  And  he  departed,  and  *• 'be- 
gan to  piil)li.sh  in  "Dc-cjip'o-lis 
how  great  things  Je'.sus  had 
done  for  him:  and  all  men  did 
marvel. 

21  ^  And  when  Je'sus  was 
passed  over  again  by  ^ship  unto 
the  other  side,  "much  people 
gathered  unto  him:  and  he  was 
nigh  unto  the  ''sea. 

22  And,  behold,  there  "^cometh 
one  of  the  rulers  of  the  ^syna- 
gogue, ^-^Ja-frus  by  name;  and

when  he  saw  hhn,  he  °'*fell  at 
his  feet, 

23  And  '^besought  him  greatly, 
saying,  '^My  httle  daughter  Heth 
''at  the  point  of  "death:  I  pray 
thee,  '^come  and  lay  thy  4iands 
on  her,  that  she  may  be  healed; 
and  she  shall  live. 

24  And  ^Je'sus  went  with  him; 
and  much  people  followed  him, 
and  thronged  him. 

25  Tf  And  a  certain  woman, 
which  had  an  ^-^ issue  of  blood 
twelve  years, 

26  And  had  'suffered  many 
things  of  many  '"physicians,  and 
had  spent  all  that  she  had,  and 
was  nothing  bettered,  but  rather 
grew  worse, 

27  When  she  had  heard  of 
Je'sus,  ''came  in  the  press  be- 
hind, and  touched  his  garment. 

28  For  she  said,  ^If  I  may 
touch  but  his  clothes,  I  shall  be 
whole. 

29  And  straightway  the  foun- 
tain of  her  blood  "was  dried  u]i ; 
and  she  felt  in  her  body  that  she 
was  "healed  of  that  '^plague. 

30  And  ^Je'sus,  immediately 
knowing  in  himself  that  ^virtue 
had  gone  out  of  him,  turned  him 
about  in  the  press,  and  said, 
Wlio  touched  my  clothes  ? 

31  And  his  ^disciples  said  unto 


him.  Thou  seest  the  multitude 
thronging  thee,  and  sayest  thou. 
Who  touched  me  ? 

32  And  he  looked  round  about 
to  see  her  that  had  done  this 
thing. 

33  But  the  woman  fearing  and 
trembling,  knowing  what  was 
done  in  her,  ''came  and  fell  down 
before  him,  and  told  him  all  the 
truth. 

34  And  %e  said  unto  her. 
Daughter,  thy  ''faith  hath  made 
thee  whole ;  go  in  •'peace,  and  be 
"whole  of  thy  ''^plague. 

35  T[  While  he  yet  spake,  there 
came  from  the  ruler  of  the  'syna- 
gogue's house  certain  which  said, 
Thy  ^daughter  is  "dead:  why 
troublest  thou  the  "Master  any 
further  ? 

36  As  soon  as  Je'sus  heard  the 
word  that  was  spoken,  he  saitli 
unto  the  ruler  of  the  'synagogue, 
"''"Be  not  afraid,  only    believe.

scorn.  But  when  he  had  put 
them  all  out,  he  taketh  the  'fa- 
ther and  the  ^mother  of  the 
damsel,  and  them  that  were 
with  him,  and  entereth  in 
where  the  damsel  was  lying. 

41  And  he  took  the  damsel  by 
the  hand,  and  said  unto  her, 
Tal'i-tha  cu'ml;  which  is,  being 
interpreted,  Damsel,  I  say  unto 
thee,  arise. 

42  And  straightway  the  ^'•''dam- 
.sel  *arose,  and  walked;  for  she 
was  of  the  arje  of  twelve  years. 
And  they  were  astonished  with 
a  great  astonishment. 

43  And  he'charged  themstraitly 
that  no  man  should  know  it;  and 
commanded  that  ^something 
should   be  given   her  to  eat.

2  And  when  the  '^sabbath  day 
was  come,  he  began  to  ^'^teach  in 
the  "synagogue:  and  many  hear- 
ing him  were  astonished,  saying. 
From  whence  hath  this  man 
these  things  ?  and  what  ''wis-

him,  that  even  such  mighty

his  ^hands  upon  a  few  sick  folk,

15  Others  said,  That  it  is 
^£-Il'as.  And  others  said,  That 
it  is  a  ^prophet,  or  as  one  of  the 
prophets. 

16  But  when  "Her'od  heard 
thereof,  he  *said,  It  is  "^John, 
whom  I  "beheaded:  he  is  risen 
from  the  dead. 

17  For  "Hgr'od  himself  had 
sent  forth  and  laid  hold  upon 
^John,  and  bound  ''him  in 
''prison  ''for  '*''He-ro'di-as'  sake, 
his  brother  'Phil'ip's  wife:  for 
he  had  ^married  her. 

18  For  ''•'John  had  ^•'"said  unto 
"Her'od,  It  is  not  lawful  for  thee 
to  have  thy  brother's  wife. 

19  Therefore  ''-^He-ro'di-as  had 
a  quarrel  against  him,  and 
""would  have  killed  him;  but 
she  could  not: 

20  For  "Her'od  feared  Mohn, 
knowing  that  he  was  a  ^just 
man  and  an  ^'  ''holy,  and  observed 
Jiim;  and  when  he  heard  him, 
he  ^did  many  things,  and  heard 
him  gladly. 

21  And  when  a  convenient  day 
was  come,  that  "Her'od  on  his 
birthday  made  a  ''supper  to  his 
lords,  high  captains,  and  chief 
estates  of  *Gari-lee; 

22  And  when  the  daughter  of 
the  said  ''He-ro'di-as  came  in, 
and  Manced,  and  pleased  '^Her'- 
od  and  them  that  sat  with  him, 
the  king  'said  unto  the  damsel, 
Ask  of  me  whatsoever  thou  wilt, 
and  I  will  give  it  thee. 

23  And  he  ''"sware  unto  her, 
Whatsoever  thou  shalt  ask  of  me, 
I  will  give  it  thee,  unto  the  half 
of  my  kingdom. 

24  And  she  went  forth,  and 
said  unto  her  '^^ 'mother,  What 
shall  I  ask?  And  she  '^•''said. 
The  head  of  ''John  the  Bap'tist. 


25  "And  she  came  in  straight- 
way with  haste  unto  the  ''king, 
and  asked,  saying,  I  will  that 
thou  give  me  by  and  by  in  a 
charger  the  head  of  "^John  the 
Bap'tist. 

26  And  the  ''king  was  exceed- 
ing sorry;  yet  for  his  "oath's 
sake,  and  ""for  their  sakes  which 
sat  with  him,  he  would  not  re- 
ject her. 

27  And  immediately  the  king 
sent  an  executioner,  and  ^com- 
manded his  head  to  be  brought: 
and  he  went  and  ^'^-"beheaded 
*hiin  in  the  '^jirison, 

28  And  brought  his  head  in  a 
charger,  and  gave  it  to  the  dam- 
sel: and  the  damsel  gave  it  to 
her  ''■'^mother. 

29  And  when  his  Misciples 
heard  of  it,  they  came  and  took 
up  his  corpse,  and  ^laid  it  in  a 
tomb. 

30  ^  And  the  ''apostles  gath- 
ered themselves  together  unto 
Je'sus,  and  told  him  all  things, 
both  what  they  had  done,  and 
what  they  had  taught. 

31  And  he  said  unto  'them, 
Come  ye  yourselves  apart  into 
a  desert  place,  and  'rest  a  while: 
for  there  were  many  coming  and 
going,  and  they  had  no  leisure 
so  much  as  to  eat. 

32  And  *they  departed  into  a 
desert  place  by  ^-'ship  privately. 

33  And  the  people  saw  them 
departing,  and  many  knew  him, 
and  '"ran  afoot  thither  out  of 
all  cities,  and  outwent  them,  and 
came  together  unto  him. 

34  And  Je'sus,  when  he  came 
out,  saw  much  people,  and  was 
moved  with  ""compassion  to- 
ward them,  because  they  were 
as  sheep  not  having  a  ^shepherd :

and  he  began  to  *• ''teach  them 
many  things. 

35  And  when  the  day  was  now 
tar  spent,  his  ''disciples  came 
unto  him,  and  *said.  This  is  a 
desert  place,  and  now  the  time 
is  far  passed: 

36  Send  them  away,  that  they 
may  go  into  the  country  round 
about,  and  into  the  villages,  and 
buy  themselves  'bread :  for  they 
have  nothing  to  eat. 

37  '^He  answered  and  said  unto 
''them.  Give  ye  them  to  eat.  And 
theysay  unto  him.  Shall  we  go  and 
buy  two  hundred  "pennyworth 
of  bread,  and  give  them  to  eat  ? 

38  He  saith  unto  them,  How 
many  ^loaves  have  ye  ?  go  and 
see.  And  when  they  knew, 
they  say.  Five,  and  two  ^fishes. 

39  And  he  commanded  them 
to  make  all  sit  down  by  com- 
panies upon  the  green  grass. 

40  And  they  sat  down  in  ranks, 
by  hundreds,  and  by  fifties. 

41  ^And  when  he  had  taken  the 
five  "loaves  and  the  two  "'fishes, 
he  looked  up  to  heaven,  and 
^- ^blessed,  and  brake  the  loaves, 
and  gave  the7n  to  his  "disciples 
to  set  before  them;  and  the  two 
fishes  divided  he  among  them  all. 

42  *And  they  did  all  eat,  and 
were  filled. 

43  *And  they  '^took  up  twelve 
''baskets  full  of  the  fragments, 
and  of  the  fishes. 

44  *And  they  that  did  eat  of 
the  loaves  were  about  five  thou- 
sand men. 

45  Tf  *And  straightway  he  con- 
strained his  "disciples  to  get  into 
the  ®'^ship,  and  to  go  to  the  other 
side  before  unto  ''Beth-sa'i-da, 
while  he  sent  away  the  people. 

46  And  when  he  had  sent  them 
away,  he  departed  into  a  moun- 
tain to  ''■^pray. 

47  And  when  even  was  come, 
the  'ship  was  in  the  midst  of  the 
'sea,  and  he  alone  on  the  land. 


48  And  he  saw  "them  ^toiling 
in  rowing;  for  the  *wind  was 
contrary  unto  them:  and  about 
the  fourth  'watch  of  the  night 
he  Cometh  unto  them,  '"walking 
upon  the  %ea,  and  would  have 
passed  by  them. 

49  But  when  they  saw  "'him 
walking  upon  the  sea,  they  sup- 
posed it  *had  been  a  spirit,  and 
cried  out: 

50  For  "they  all  saw  him,  and 
were  troubled.  And  immedi- 
ately he  talked  with  them,  and 
saith  unto  them,  Be  of  good 
cheer:  it  is  I;  be  not  afraid. 

51  And  he  went  up  unto  "them 
into  the  ®ship;  and  the  wind 
''ceased:  and  they  were  sore 
amazed  in  themselves  ^beyond 
measure,  and  wondered. 

52  For  they  ^"considered  not 
the  miracle  of  the  ''loaves:  for 
"their  ^heart  was  hardened. 

53  "And  when  they  had  passed 
over,  they  came  into  the  land 
of  Gen-nes'a-ret,  and  ^Mrew  to 
the  shore. 

54  And  when  they  were  come 
out  of  the  ®ship,  straightway  they 
knew  him, 

55  ''And  ran  through  that  whole 
region  round  about,  and  *■ 'began 
to  carry  about  in  beds  those  that 
were  sick,  where  they  heard  he  w^as . 

56  ''And  whithersoever  he  en- 
tered, into  villages,  or  cities,  or 
country,  they  *''laid  the  sick  in 
the  ^^streets,  and  besought  him 
that  they  might  touch  if  it  were 
but  the  border  of  his  garment: 
and  as  many  as  touched  him 
were  made  ''whole.

2  And  when  they  saw  some 
of  his  disciples  eat  bread  with 
''defiled,  that  is  to  say,  with 
nnwashen,  "liands,  they  fovuid 
fault. 

3  '^For  the  ^'Phar'i-sees,  and 
all  the  Jews,  except  they  '-^wash 
their  ^hands  oft,  ''eat  not,  hold- 
ing the  'tradition  of  the  elders. 

4  ''And  when  they  come  from 
the  market,  except  they  '^•'wash, 
they  *eat  not.  And  many  other 
things  there  be,  which  they  have 
'received  to  hold,  as  the  hvash- 
ing  of  cups,  and  pots,  '"brasen 
vessels,  Hind  of  tables. 

5  Then  the  *Phar'i-see.s  and 
"^scribes  asked  him.  Why  walk 
not  thy  "disciples  according  to 
the  'tradition  of  the  elders, 
but  eat  bread  with  ^•''unwashen 
"hands  ? 

6  He  answered  and  'Isaid  un- 
to them,  Well  hath  "E-sa'ias 
^prophesied  of  you  hypocrites, 
as  it  is  written,  ^■''This  people 
honoureth  me  with  their  lips,  but 
their  heart  is  far  from  me. 

7  Howbeit  in  vain  do  they  wor- 
ship me,  teaching  for  doctrines 
the  *''commandments  of  *men. 

8  For  laying  aside  the  ''"com- 
mandment of  God,  ye  hold  the 
'tradition  of  men,  '^as  the  Svash- 
ing  of  pots  and  cups:  and  many 
other  such  like  things  ye  do. 

9  And  he  "said  unto  them,  Full 
well  ye  reject  the  '•"command- 
ment of  God,  that  ye  may  keep 
your  own  'tradition. 

10  For  INIo'ses  ^said,  '"Honour 
thy  ^father  and  thy  %iother; 
and,  *'^' "Whoso  ''curseth  father 
or  mother,  let  him  Mie  the  death: 

11  But  ''•"ye  say,  'If  a  man 
shall  say  to  his  father  or  mother. 


^7^  is  Cor'ban,  that  is  to  say,  a 
gift,  by  whatsoever  thou  might- 
est  be  profited  by  me;  he  shall 
be  free. 

12  And  ''•"ye  suffer  him  no 
more  to  do  ought  for  his  father 
or  his  mother; 

13  Making  the  "•  Vord  of  God 
of  none  effect  through  your  Hra- 
dition,  which  ye  have  delivered: 
and  many  such  like  things  do  ye. 

14  ^  And  when  he  had  called 
all  the  people  unto  him,  he 
'said  unto  them.  Hearken  unto 
me  every  one  of  you,  and  under- 
stand : 

15  *There  is  nothing  from  with- 
out a  man,  that  entering  into  him 
can  defile  him:  but  the  things 
which  come  out  of  him,  those 
are  they  that  defile  the  man. 

16  ^-'If  any  man  have  ears  to 
hear,  let  him  '"hear. 

17  And  when  he  was  entered 
into  the  house  from  the  people, 
his  "disciples  asked  him  con- 
cerning the  "parable. 

18  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Are 
ye  so  ^^vithodt  understanding 
also  ?  Dc  ye  not  perceive,  that 
whatsoever  thing  from  without 
entereth  into  the  man,  it  cannot 
defile  him; 

19  Because  it  entereth  not  into 
his  'heart,  but  into  ^the  belly, 
and  goeth  out  into  the  draught, 
purging  all  meats  ? 

20  And  he  'said.  That  whicli 
Cometh  out  of  the  man,  that  de- 
fileth  the  man. 

21  For  from  within,  'out  of  the 
"heart  of  men,  ^proceed  'evil

23  "AW  these  evil  thiiios  come 
from  within,  and  defile  the  man. 

24  ^  '^And  from  thence  *he 
arose,  and  went  into  the  borders 
of  ^Tyre  and  ''Si'don,  and  en- 
tered into  an  house,  and  would 
have  no  man  know  it:  but  he 
could  not  be   hid. 

25  Yov  a  certain  ''woman,  whose 
young  daughter  had  an  Hmclean 
spirit,  heard  of  him,  and  ^•■^came 
and  'fell  at  his  feet: 

26  The  woman  was  a  '"Greek, 
a  "Sy-r6-plie-ni'9ian  by  nation; 
and  ''she  ^besought  him  that  he 
would  cast  forth  the  Mevil  out  of 
her  daughter. 

27  But  Je'sus  said  unto  her.  Let 
the  children  first  be  filled:  for  it 
i.s  not  meet  to  take  the  children's 
bread,  and  to  cast  U  unto  the

28  And  ''she  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  ^Yes,  Lord:  'yet  the

30  And  when  she  was  come  to

"gone  out,  and  her  ^daughter

31  T[  *And  again,  departing 
from  the  coasts  of  ^Tyre  and

CHAPTER  8 

Jesus  feeds  four  thousand.  10  The  Phari- 
sees require  a  sign.  14  Jesus  warns  his 
disciples  of  the  leaven  of  the  Pharisees 
and  of  Herod.  22  He  heals  a  blind  man. 
27  What  the  people  think  of  .fesus,  29  and 
Peter's  confession  of  him.  31  Jesus 
foretells  his  own  death  and  resurrection. 
34  Those  who  will  folloio  him  must  take 
up  their  cross. 

"TN  those  days  the  multitude 
X  being  very  great,  and  hav- 
ing nothing  to  eat,  "Je'sus  called 
his  ''disciples  unto  him,  and  saith 
unto  them, 

2  I  have 
multitude, 
now  been  with   me  three  days, 
and   have   nothing   to   eat: 

3  And  if  I  send  them  away  ''fast- 
ing to  their  own  houses,  they  will 
faint  by  the  way:  for  divers  of 
them  came  from  far. 

4  And  his  "disciples  answered 
him.  From  whence  can  a  man 
satisfy  these  men  with  bread  here 
in  the  wilderness  ? 

5  And  he  asked  them.  How 
many  ''loaves  have  ye  ?  And  they 
said.  Seven. 

6  And  he  commanded  the  peo- 
ple to  sit  down  on  the  ground: 
"and  he  took  the  seven  ^loaves, 
and  ''•^gave  'thanks,  and  brake, 
and  gave  to  his  Misciples  to  set 
before  them;  and  they  did  set 
them  Ix'fore  the  people. 

7  And  they  had  a  few  small 
^■fishes:  and  he 'blessed,  and  com- 
manded to  set  them  also  before 
them.

8  "So  they  did  eat,  and  were 
filled:  and  they  'took  up  of  the 
broken  meat  that  Avas  left  seven 
'"baskets. 

9  ''And  they  that  had  eaten 
were  about  four  thousand:  and 
he  sent  them  away. 

10  Tf  And  straightway  he  en- 
tered into  a  ^'"ship  with  his  ''dis- 
ciples, and  came  into  the  parts 
of  Dal-ma-nu'tha. 

11  "And  the  ''Phar'i-sees  came 
forth,  and  began  to  question 
with  him,  seeking  of  him  a  *sign 
from  heaven,  'tempting  him. 

12  And  he  sighed  deeply  in  his 
spirit,  and  '^saith,  Why  doth  this 
generation  seek  after  a  *sign  ? 
verily  I  say  unto  you.  There  shall 
no  sign  be  given  unto  this  gener- 
ation. 

13  And  he  left  them,  and  en- 
tering into  the  ^'"^ship  again 
departed  to  the  other  side. 

14  Tf  *Now  the  '^disciples  had 
forgotten  to  take  'bread,  neither 
had  they  in  the  ^'"ship  with  them 
more  than  one  loaf. 

15  And  he  charged  them,  say- 
ing, "Take  heed,  ''beware  of  the 
'"•  ^leaven  of  the  ^Pharl-sees,  and 
of  the  leaven  of  ^Her'od. 

16  And  ^they  reasoned  among 
themselves,  saying.  If  is  because 
we  have  no  bread. 

17  And  when  Je'sus  "knew  if, 
he  saith  unto  them.  Why  reason 
ye,  because  ye  have  no  bread  ? 
^perceive  ye  not  yet,  neither  un- 
derstand ?  have  ye  your  heart 
yet  hardened  ? 

18  Having  "^eyes,  *see  ye  not  ? 
and  having  ''ears,  ''hear  ye  not  ? 
and  do  ye  not  remember  ? 

19  *^When  I  brake  the  five  loaves 
among  five  thousand,  how  many 
baskets  full  of  fragments  took  ye 
up  ?  They  say  unto  him.  Twelve. 

20  And  ^wlien  the  seven  among 


four  thousand,  how  many  bas- 
kets full  of  fragments  took  ye 
up?     And  they  said.  Seven. 

21  And  he  said  unto  them.  How 
is  it  that  ye  *do  not  understand  ? 

22  ^  And  ^le  cometh  to  "Beth- 
sa'i-da;  and  they  ''bring  a  'blind 
man  unto  him,  and  besought 
him  to  touch  him. 

23  And  'he  took  the  blind  man 
by  the  hand,  and  led  him  out  of 
the  town ;  and  when  he  had  'spit 
on  his  eyes,  and  put  his  hands 
upon  him,  he  asked  him  if  he 
saw  ought. 

24  And  he  looked  up,  and  said, 
I  see  men  as  trees,  walking. 

25  After  that  'he  put  his  hands 
again  upon  his  eyes,  and  made 
him  look  up:  and  he  was  ''re- 
stored, and  saw  every  man 
clearly. 

26  And  he  sent  him  away  to  his 
house,  ^saying,  Neither  go  into 
the  town,  nor  tell  it  to  any  in  the 
town. 

27  1  'And  Je'.sus  went  out,  and 
his  '"disci])les,  into  the  towns  of 
"(,'{es-a-re'a  Ph)(-lip''pl:  and  by 
the  way  lie  asked  his  disciples, 
saying  unto  them.  Whom  do  men 
say  that  I  am  ? 

28  And  they  answered,  "John  the 
Bap'tist:  but  some  say,  ''P^-ll'as; 
and  others.  One  of  the  'prophets. 

29  And  he  saith  unto  them,  But 
whom  say  ye  that  I  am  ?  And 
'Pe'ter  answereth  and  saith  unto 
him,  *Thou  art  the  'Christ. 

30  And  he  ^charged  them  that 
they  should  tell  no  man  of  him. 

31  Tf  And  "'"he  began  to  teach 
them,  that  the  "Son  of  man  must 
^suffer  many  things,  and  be  re- 
jected of  the  ^elders,  and  of  the 
chief  ^priests,  and  '^scribes,  and 
be  ''killed,  and  after  three  days 
''rise  again.

CHAPTER  9 


The  Irnnaflguration.  14  Jesus  casts  out  a 
dumb  spirit:  30  and  foretells  his  own  death 
and  resurrection.  3;)  He  exhorts  his  disci- 
ples to  humililu.  38  They  arc  not  to  reject 
those  who  are  not  against  them:  42  but  to 
avoid  giving  cause  for  stumbling. 

AND  he  said  unto  them.  Ver- 
ily "I  say  unto  you,  That 
there  be  some  of  them  that  stand 
here,   which   shall   not  taste   of 


''death,  till  they  have  seen  the 
'"kingdom  of  God  come  with 
j)ower. 

2  ^  And  after  six  days  Je'sus 
taketh  with  him  '^Pe'ter,  and 
*Jame.s,  and  ''J6hn,  and  leadeth 
them  up  into  an  high  mountain 
apart  by  themselves:  and  he  was 
"transfigured  before  them. 

3  And  his  raiment  became^shin- 
incf,  exceeding  ''white  as  snow; 
so  as  no  'fuller  on  earth  can 
white  them. 

4  And  there  ^appeared  unto  them 
^E-h'as  with 'McV.se.s:  and  they 
were  talking  with  Je'.sus. 

5  Ami  ''Pe'ter  answered  and 
said  to  Je''.sus,  --'"iMaster,  it  is 
good  for  us  to  be  here:  and  let  us 
make  three  tabernacles;  one  for 
thee,  and  one  for  'Mouses,  and 
one  for  ^fi-li'as. 

6  For  he  wist  not  what  to  say; 
for  they  were  sore  afraid. 

7  And  there  was  a  cloud  that 
overshadowed  them:  and  a  voice 
cameoutofthecloud,saying,This 
is  "my  beloved  "Son:  hear  him. 

8  And  suddenly,  when  they  had 
looked  round  about,  they  saw  no 
man  any  more,  save  Je'sus  only 
with  themselves. 

9  ^And  as  they  came  down  from 
the  mountain,  he  ^charged  them 
that  they  should  tell  no  man  what 
things  they  had  seen,  till  the  ''Son 
of  man  were  *• 'risen  from  the 
dead. 

10  And  they  kept  that  saying 
with  themselves,  questioning  one 
with  another  what  the  *■ 'rising 
from  the  dead  should  mean.

•^'E-h'as  must  first  come  ? 

12  And  he  answered  and  told 
them,  ^E-h'as  verily  cometh  first, 
and  restoreth  all  things;  and  how 
''it  is  written  of  the  ''Son  of  man, 
that  he  must  suffer  many  things, 
and  be  set  at  nought. 

13  But  I  say  unto  you.  That 
'"E-ll'as  is  indeed  come,  and 
they  have  done  unto  him  what- 
soever they  listed,  as  it  is  writ- 
ten of  him. 

14  T[  ^And  when  he  came  to  //?'.? 
''disciples,  he  saw  a  great  multi- 
tude about  them,  and  the'^scribes 
questioning  with  them. 

15  And  straightway  all  the  peo- 
ple, when  they  beheld  him,  were 
greatly  amazed,  and  running  to 
Iiim  ^saluted  him. 

16  And  he  asked  ''tlie  scribes, 
What  question  ye  with  them  ? 

17  And  one  of  the  multitude  an- 
swered and  said,  Master,  "I  have 
brought  unto  thee  my  son,  which 
hath  a  ''dumb  ''spirit; 

18  And  wheresoever  ''he  taketli 
Iiim,  ^he  teareth  him:  and  he 
foamcth,  and  gnasheth  with  his 
teeth,  and  pineth  away:  and  I 
sjiake  to  thy  '^disciples  tliat  they 
should  cast  ''him  out;  and  they 
could  not. 

19  He  answereth  him,  and 
saith,  O  faithless  generation, 
how  long  shall  I  be  with  you  ? 
how  long  shall  I  suffer  you  ? 
bring  him  unto  me. 

20  And  they  brought  him  unto 
him:  and  when  he  saw  him, 
straightway  tlie  '^spirit  tare  him; 
and  he  fell  on  the  ground,  and 
wallowed  foaming, 

21  And  he  asked  his  father, 
How  long  is  it  ago  since  this 
came  unto  him  ?  x'Vnd  he  said. 
Of  a  child. 

22  And  ofttimes  it  hath  cast 
him  into  the  fire,  and  into  the 
waters,  to  destroy  him:  but  ''if 


thou  canst  do  any  thing,  have 
compassion  on  us,  and  help 
us. 

23  Je'sus  said  unto  him.  If  thou 
canst  "believe,  all  things  are  pos- 
sible to  him  that  ''believeth. 

24  x\nd  straightway  the  "father

^with  tears,  Lord,  I  ''believe;

25  When  Je'.sus  saw  that  the 
])eople  came  running  together, 
he  rebuked  the  ''foul  spirit,  say- 
ing unto  him.  Thou  *dumb  and 
'deaf  spirit,  I  charge  thee,  come 
out  of  him,  and  enter  no  more 
into  him. 

26  And  the  spirit  cried,  and 
rent  him  sore,  and  ^-''came  out 
of  him:  and  he  was  as  one  dead; 
insomuch  that  many  said,  He  is 
dead. 

27  But  Je'.sus  took  him  by  the 
hand,  and  lifted  him  up;  and 
•'■^he  arose. 

28  And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  house,  his  ''disciples  asked 
him  ]:)rivately,  Why  could  not  we 
cast  him  out  ? 

29  And  he  said  unto  them,  This

but  by  Sprayer  %nd  fasting.

and  "'"said  unto  them,  The  ''Son

of  men,  and  they  shall  'kill  him; 
and  after  that  he  is  killed,  he 
shall  ''rise  the  third  day. 

32  But  ^they  understood  not 
that  saying,  and  were  afraid  to

CHAPTER  10 

Jesus  ansu^rs  the  Pharisees  concerning 
divorce.  13  He  t:l esses  little  children: 
17  answers  the  rich  young  man:  23  and 
shews  how  hard  it  is  for  a  rich  man  to 
enter  the  kingdom  of  God.  28  The  reward 
of  those  UJho  forsake  all  and  follow  him. 
32  He  again  foretells  his  own  death  and 
resurrection.  35  The  request  of  James 
and  John.  42  Jesus  exhorts  to  humilitij. 
46  He  heals  blind  BartimcBus  at  Jericho. 

'^  A  ND  he  aro.se  from  thence, 
-i^  and  Cometh  into  the  coasts 
of  ''Ju-dfe'a  by  the  farther  side 
of  "^JorMan:  and  ''the  people  re- 
sort unto  ^him  again;  and,  as 
he  was  wont,  he  ^taught  them 
again. 

2  \  "And  the  ''Phar'i-see.2  came 
to  him,  and  asked  him.  Is  it  law- 
ful for  a  man  to  '^put  away  his 
'wife  ?  tempting  him. 

3  And  he  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  What  did  INIo'.se.s 
''command  you  ? 

4  And  they  said,  IMo'.scs  suf- 
fered to  write  a  bill  of  'divorce- 
ment, and  to  put  her  away. 

5  And  Je'.sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  For  the  'hardness  of 
your  heart  he  wrote  you  this 
precept. 

G  But  from   the   befi-innins:   of 


the  creation  ""God  "made  them 
"male  and  ''female. 

7  *For  this  cause  shall  a  ''man 
leave  his  father  and  mother,  and 
cleave  to  his  'wife; 

8  And  "they  twain  shall  be  'one 
flesh:  so  then  they  are  no  more 
twain,   but  one   flesh. 

9  "What  therefore  God  hath 
joined  together,  let  not  man  put 
asunder. 

10  And  in  the  house  his  "dis- 
ciples asked  him  again  of  the 
same   matter. 

11  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
""Whosoever  shall  put  away  his 
'wife,  and  'marry  another,  com- 
mitteth  ^adultery  against  her. 

12  And  if  a  'woman  shall  put 
away  her  ''husband,  and  be 
'married  to  another,  she  com- 
mitteth  ^adultery. 

13  ^  And  ^they  brought  young 
children  to  him,  that  he  should 
touch  them:  and  /;  is  ''disciples  ^re- 
buked those  that  brought  them. 

14  But  when  Je'sus  saw  it,  he 
was  'much  displeased,  and  said 
unto  them.  Suffer  the  little  *cliil-

36  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  would  ye  that  I  should  do 
for  you  ? 

37  They  said  unto  him,  ''Grant 
unto  us  that  we  may  sit,  one  on 
thy  right  hand,  and  the  other  on 
thy  left  hand,  in  *thy  glory. 

38  But  Je'.sus  said  unto  them, 
Ye  know  not  what  ye  ask:  can 
ye  drink  of  the  '^cup  that  '^I 
drink  of  ?  and  be  ^baptized  with 
the  ba])tism  that  I  am  baptized 
with  ? 

39  And  they  said  unto  him. 
We  can.  And  Je'sus  said  unto 
them,  Ye  shall  indeed  drink  of 
the  "^cup  that  ''I  drink  of;  and 
with  the  ^baptism  that  I  am 
baptized  withal  shall  ye  be 
baptized: 

40  But  to  sit  on  my  right  hand 

13 


and  on  my  left  hand  is  not  'mine 
to  give;  but  it  shall  he  given  to 
them  for  whom  it  is  prepared. 

41  And  when  the  "ten  heard 
it,  they  began  to  be  much  ''dis- 
pleased with  ^Jamcs  and  'John. 

42  '^But  Je'.sus  called  them  to 
him,  and  saith  unto  them.  Ye 
know  that  they  which  are  ac- 
counted to  rule  over  the  ^Gcn'- 
tlles  exercise  lordship  over  them; 
and  their  great  ones  exercise 
authority  upon   them. 

43  But  so  shall  it  not  be  among 
you:  but  whosoever  ''will  be  great 
among  you,  "''"shall  be  your 
"minister: 

44  And  whosoever  *of  you  ''will 
be  the  chiefest,  "'•"shall  be  "serv- 
ant of  all. 

45  ^For  even  the  "Son  of  man 
came  not  to  be  ministered  unto, 
but  'to  minister,  and  to  give  his 
^life  a  ''"ransom  for  many. 

46  T[  "And  they  came  to  "'Jer'- 
i-cho:  and  as  ^'he  went  out  of 
Jer'i-cho  with  his  Misciples 
and  a  great  number  of  people, 
^blind  Biir-ti-mne'us,  the  son  of 
Tl-miie'us,  sat  by  the  highwaj- 
side  "begging. 

47  And  when  he  heard  that  it 
was  ''Je'.sus  of  '^Naz'a-reth,  he 
began  to  cry  out,  and  say,  Je'- 
sus,  thou  ''son  of  ''Da'vid,  ^have 
'mercy  on  me. 

48  And  many  charged  him 
that  he  should  hold  his  peace: 
but  he  "cried  the  more  a  great 
deal,  Thou  ''son  of  ''Da'vid,  "have 
'mercy  on  me. 

49  And  ''Je'sus  stood  still,  and 
commanded  him  to  be  called. 
x\nd  they  call  the  *blind  man, 
saying  unto  him,  'Be  of  good 
comfort,  rise;  he  calleth  thee. 

50  And  *he,  casting  away  his 
garment,  rose,  and  came  to  Je'- 
sus. 

51  x\nd  Je'.sus  answered  and 
said  unto  him,  What  wilt  thou 
that   I   should    do   unto    thee?

The  'blind  man  said  unto  him, 
"•"Lord,  that  I  might  receive  my 
sight. 
52  And  Je'.sus  said  unto  him, 
Go  thy  way;  thy  Taith  hath 
made  thee  whole.  And  immedi- 
ately he  '"'received  his  sight,  and 
'followed  Je'sus  in  the  way. 

CHAPTER  11 

Jesus'  public  entry  into  Jerusalem.  12  He 
curses  the  fig  tree;  1  :>  drives  the  traders  out 
of  the  temple;  20  and  exhorts  to  faith  and 
forgiveness.  27  He  silences  those  who 
question  his  authority. 

AND  ''when  they  came  nigh  to 
^Je-ru'sa-leni,  unto  <^Beth'- 
pha-ge  and  '^Beth'a-ny,  at  the 
mount  of  *01'ives,  he  sendeth 
forth  two  of  his  ^disciples, 

2  Aiul  saith  unto  them,  Go  your 
way  into  the  village  over  against 
you:  and  as  soon  as  ye  be  entered 
into  it,  ye  shall  find  a  colt  tied, 
whereon  never  man  sat;  loose 
him,  and  bring  liim. 

3  And  if  any  man  say  unto 
you.  Why  do  ye  this  ?  say  ye 
that  the  Lord  hath  need  of  him; 
and  straightway  he  will  send  him 
hither. 

4  And  'they  went  their  way, 
and  found  the  colt  tied  by  the 
door  without  in  ^a  place  where 
two  ways  met;  and  they  loose 
him. 

5  And  certain  of  them  that 
stood  there  said  unto  them.  What 
do  ye,  loosing  the  colt  ? 

G  And  they  said  unto  them  even 
as  Je'sus  had  commanded:  and 
they  let  them  go. 

7  ^And  diey  brought  the  colt  to 
Je'sus,  and  cast  their  garments 
on  him;  and  he  sat  upon  him. 

8  ''And  "many  spread  their  gar- 
ments in  the  way:  and  others  cut 
down  branches  oH'  the  trees,  and 
strawed  tliem  in  the  Avay.  | 


9  ^•''And  they  that  went  before, 
and  they  that  followed,  cried, 
saying,  "-^Ho-.san'na;  'Blessed  is 
he  that  cometh  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord: 

10  ''''''Blessed  ^he  the  ^-kingdom 
of  our  father  ^Da'vid,  that  com- 
eth in  the  name  of  the  Lord:  H6- 
san'na  in  the  highest. 

11  And  Je'sus  entered  into 
*  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  into  the  '"tem- 
ple: and  when  he  had  looked 
round  about  upon  all  things,  and 
now  tlie  eventide  was  come,  he 
went  out  unto  ''Beth'a-ny  with 
the  ''twelve. 

12  *\  "And  on  the  morrow,  when 
they  were  come  from  ''Beth'a-ny, 
he  was  "hungry: 

13  And  seeing  a  ^fig  tree  afar 
off  having  leaves,  he  came,  if 
haply  he  might  find  any  thing 
thereon:  and  when  he  came  to  it, 
he  found  '^nothing  but  leaves; 
for  the  time  of  figs  was  not  yet. 

14  And  Je'sus  answered  and 
said  unto  '''it.  No  man  eat  fruit 
of  thee  hereafter  for  ever.  And 
his  Misciples  heard  it. 

15  T[  "And  they  come  to  ''Je- 
rii'sa-lem:  and  Je'sus  went  into 
the  "'temple,  and  began  to  cast 
out  them  that  sold  and  bought 
in  the  temple,  and  overthrew 
tJie  tables  of  the  moneychangers, 
and  the  seats  of  them  that  sold 
Moves; 

16  And  would  not  suffer  that 
any  man  should  carry  any  vessel 
through  the  '"tenijile. 

17  And  lie  *taught,  ^saying  unto 
them.  Is  it  not'  written,  My 
"house  shall  be  called  'W  all 
nations  the  ''house  of  "'prayer? 
but  ye  have  ^made  it  a  den  of

AND  he  began  to  speak  unto 
them  by  "parables.    ''A  cer- 
tain man  planted  a  ''vineyard,  and 


set  an ''hedge  about  it,  and  digged 
a  place  for  the  ''winefat,  and 
built  a  ''"tower,  and  ''let  'it  out 
to  ^' '^husbandmen,  and  went  into 
a  far  country. 

2  And  at  the  'season  he  sent 
to  the  ^husbandmen  a  "'servant, 
that  he  might  receive  from  the 
husbandmen  of  the  "fruit  of  the 
''vineyard. 

3  "And  they  caught  liini,  and 
beat  him,  and  sent  him  away 
empty. 

4  And  again  he  sent  unto  them 
another '"servant;  and  '-"'^at  him 
they  cast  stones,  and  wounded 
]iim  in  the  head,  and  sent  Jiim 
away  shamefully  handled. 

.5  And  again  he  .sent  '"another; 
"and  him  they  ^killed,  and  many 
others;  beating  some,  and  killing 
.some. 

6  Having  yet  therefore  one 
''son,  his  wcllbeloved,  he  sent 
him  also  last  unto  them,  sfiying, 
They  will  reverence  my  son. 

7  But  those  'husbandmen  "said 
among  themselves.  This  is  the 
heir;  come,  ''let  us  kill  him,  and 
the  inheritance  shall  l)e  our's. 

8  And  "they  took  him,  and 
"killed  ^hivi,  and  cast  him,  out  of 
the  '^vineyard. 

9  What  shall  therefore  the  lord 
of  the  ''vineyard  do  ?  he  will  come 
and  'destroy  the  '-"husbandmen, 
and  will  give  the  vineyard  unto

and  it  is  marvellous  in  our  eyes  ? 

12  And  they  ^'"sought  to  lav

and  left  no  seed:  last  of  all  the 
woman  died  also. 

23  In  the  ^resurrection  there- 
fore, when  they  shall  rise,  whose 
''wife  shall  she  be  of  them  ?  for 
the  seven  had  her  to  "'wife. 

2-1  And  Jesus  answering  said 
unto  them.  Do  ye  not  therefore 
err,  because  ye  ^'  ^know  not  the 
^scriptures,  neither  the  "power 
of  God  ? 

25  For  Avhen  they  shall  ''rise 
from  the  dead,  they  neither 
'"marry,  nor  are  given  in  mar- 
riage; but  are  as  the  ''angels 
which  are  in  ''heaven. 

2G  And  as  touching  the  dead, 
that  they  ''rise :  have  ye  not  read 
in  the  ^book  of  INIo'se.s,  how  in 
the  ^bush  God  spake  unto  him, 
saying,  I  am  the  God  of  ^A'bra- 
ham,  and  the  God  of  ^I'.saac,  and 
the  God  of  aa'cob  ? 

27  He  is  not  the  God  of  the 
dead,  but  the  God  of  the  ^living: 
ye  therefore  do  greatly  err. 

28  T[  'And  one  of  the  scribes 
came,  and  having  heard  tliem 
reasoning  together,  and  perceiv- 
ing that  he  had  answered  tliem 
well,  asked  him,  Wliicli  is  the 
first  '"commandment  of  all  ? 

29  And  Je'sus  answered  him. 
The  first  ^of  all  the  '"command- 
ments is',  Hear,  O  Is'ra-el;  The 
Lord  our  ''•"God  is  one  Lord: 

30  And  ^-nhou  shalt  '^-^love  the 
I^ord  thy  God  witli  all  thy  heart, 
and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with 
all  thy  mind,  and  with  all  thy 
strength:  ^this  is  the  first  com- 
mandment. 

31  And  the  second  is  like, 
namchj  this,  ''"Thou  shalt 
''•"'love  thy  ^neighbour  as  thy- 
self. There  is  none  other  com- 
mandment greater  than  these.

head. 

4  And  there  were  some  that  had 
indignation  within  themselves, 
and  said,  '^Why  was  this  waste 
of  the  '^ointment  made  ? 

5  For  "it  might  have  been  sold 
for  more  than  three  hundred

the  "'poor.  And  they  murmured 
against  her. 

6  And  Je^sus  said,  Let  "'•"her 
alone;  why  trouble  ye  her?  she 
hath  wrought  a  good  work  on 
me. 

7  For  ye  have  the  '"poor  with 
you  always,  and  whensoever  ye 
will  ye  may  ^do  them  good:  but 
me  ye  have  not  always. 

8  "^She  hath  done  what  she 
could:  she  is  come  aforehand  to 
'anoint  my  body  to  the  burying. 

9  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Where- 
soever this  ^gospel  shall  be 
^preached  "throughout  the  whole

done  shall  be  spoken  of  for  a

10  Tf  And  '^JuMas  Is-car'i-ot, 
one  of  the  '^twelve,  "went  unto 
the  chief  ''priests,  ''to  ''betray 
him  unto  them. 

11  And  %'hen  'they  heard  if, 
they  were  glad,  and  promised 
to  ^give  him  *money.  And  he 
sought  how  he  might  conven- 
iently ''betray  him, 

12  T[  ^And  the  first  day  of  un- 
leavened bread,  when  they  killed 
the  '"passover,  his  '^disciples  said 
unto  him.  Where  wilt  thou  that 
we  go  and  prepare  that  thou 
mayest  eat  the  passover? 

13  And  he  sendeth  forth  "-"two 
of  his  ''disciples,  and  saith  unto 
them,  Go  ye  into  the  city,  and 
''there   shall   meet  you   a  man 


bearing  a  pitcher  of  water:  fol- 
low him. 

14  And  wheresoever  he  shall  go 
in,  say  ye  to  the  goodman  of  the 
house,  The  Master  saith,  Where 
is  the  ^guestchamber,  where  I 
shall  eat  the  "'passover  with  my 
''disciples  ? 

15  And  he  will  shew  you  a  large 
upper  room  furnished  aiid  pre- 
pared: there  make  ready  for  us. 

16  And  his  disciples  went  forth, 
and  came  into  the  city,  and 
found  as  he  had  said  unto  them: 
and  they  made  ready  the  pass- 
over. 

17  And  in  the  evening  he  com- 
eth  with  the  ''twelve. 

18  And  as  they  sat  and  did  eat, 
Je'sus  said,  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  '^One  of  you  which  eateth 
with  me  shall  ''betray  me. 

19  And  they  began  to  be  sor- 
rowful, and  to  say  unto  him  one 
by  one,  ^Is  it  I  ?  and  another 
.said,  Is  it  I  ? 

20  And  he  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  It  is  one  of  the 
''twelve,  that  dippeth  with  me  in 
the  dish. 

21  The  ^Son  of  man  indeed  go- 
eth,  as  'it  is  written  of  him:  but 
woe  to  that  man  by  whom  the 
Son  of  man  is  ''betrayed!  good 
were  it  for  that  man  if  he  had 
never  been  born. 

22  T[  *And  as  they  did  eat,  Je'- 
sus  took  """bread,  and  '"blessed, 
and  brake  it,  and  gave  to  them, 
and  said.  Take,  eat:  this  is  my 
body. 

23  And  he  took  the  ^-  ^cup,  and 
when  he  had  given  "'thanks,  he 
gave  it  to  them:  and  they  all 
drank  of  it. 

24  And  he  said  unto  them, 
^This  is  my  ^' "blood  of  the 
^'*new  testament,  which  is  ''shed 
for  many.

25  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  will 
drink  no  more  of  the  '^fruit  of  the 
vine,  until  that  day  that  I  drink 
it  new  in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

2G  T[  And  when  they  had  ''•'sung 
an  "hymn,  they  went  out  into  the 
mount  of  ''01'ive.s. 

27  ^\nd  Je'sus  saith  unto  them, 
All  ye  shall  be  offended  ^because 
of  me  this  night:  for  it  is  'written, 
I  will  smite  the  ^-'shepherd,  and 
the  '"sheep  shall  be  scattered. 

28  But  after  that  "I  am  risen,  I 
will  go  before  you  into  "Grd'i-lee. 

29  But  ^Pe'ter  said  unto  him, 
Although  all  shall  be  offended, 
^•^yet  will  not  I. 

30  And  *Je'.sus  saith  unto  him. 
Verily  I  say  unto  thee.  That  this 
day,  even  in  this  night,  before 
the  'cock  crow  twice,  thou  shalt 
deny  me  thrice. 

31  But  he  spake  the  more  ve- 
hemently, ^'Tf  I  should  die  with 
thee,  I  will  not  deny  thee  in  any 
wise.  Likewise  also  said  they  all. 

32  ^  And  they  came  to  a  place 
which  was  named  Ujeth-sem'a-

Sit  ye  here,  while  I  shall  ^pray.

35  And  he  went  forward  a  lit-

"■■ ''prayed  that,  if  it  were  possible, 
the  hour  might  pass  from  him.

38  ^Watch  ye  and  "pray,  lest 
ye  enter  into  ''temptation.  The 
^spirit  truly  is  ready,  but  the

39  And  'again  he  went  away, 
and  '^•''prayed,  and  spake  the 
same  words. 

40  And  when  he  returned,  he 
found  "Hhem  "^asleep  again,  (for 
their  eyes  were  heavy,)  neither 
wist  they  what  to  answer  him. 

41  And  he  cometh  the  third 
time,  and  saith  unto  them, 
"Sleep  on  noAv,  and  take  your 
rest:  it  is  enough,  the  hour  is 
come;  behold,  the  "Son  of  man 
is  "betrayed  into  the  hands  of 
"'sinners, 

42  Rise  up,  let  us  go;  lo,  ^'he 
that  "betrayeth  me  is  at  hand. 

43  ^  And  immediately,  while  he 
yet  spake,  cometh  -^Ju'das,  one 
of  the  "'twelve,  and  with  him  a 
great  multitude  with  ^swords  and 
staves,  from  the  chief  ^priests 
and  the  ''scribes  and  the  ''elders. 

44  And  he  that  '^betrayed  him 
had  given  them  a  ''token,  ''say- 
ing. Whomsoever  I  shall  'kiss, 
that  same  is  he;  take  him,  and 
lead  him  away  safely. 

45  And  as  soon  as  he  was  come, 
he  goetli  sti'aightway  to  him,  and 
"saith,  ''•''Master,  master;  and 
'kissed  him. 

46  And  they  '^laid  their  hands 
on  him,  and  'took  him. 

47  And  ''^one  of  them  that  stood 
by  drew  a  'sword,  and  smote  a 
'"•"servant  of  the  "high  priest, 
and  cut  off  his  ear. 

48  And  Je'sus  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  Are  ye  come  out, 
as  against  a  ''thief,  with  'swords 
and  vifli  staves  to  take  me  ?

took  me  not:  but  the  ''"scrip- 
tures must  be  fulfilled. 

50  And  ''they  all  "'forsook  him, 
and  fled. 

51  And  there  followed  him  a 
certain  young  man,  having  a 
linen  cloth  cast  about  his  naked 
hodij;  and  the  young  men  laid 
hold  on  him: 

52  And  he  left  the  linen  cloth, 
and  fled  from  them  naked. 

53  ^  ■'■And  they  led  Je'.sus  away 
to  the  ^•%igh  priest:  and  with 
him  were  assembled  all  the  chief 
^priests  and  the  "elders  and  the 
''scribes. 

54  And  '^Pe'ter  followed  him 
afar  off,  even  into  the  *• '^palace 
of  the  ^'%igh  priest:  and  he  sat 
with  the  ^servants,  and  warmed 
himself  at  the  fire. 

55  ^And  the  chief  "priests  and 
all  the  '^council  ^■■'sought  for 
witness  against  Je'.sus  to  put 
him  to  death  ;  and  found 
none. 

56  •'•For  many  ^bare  ^false  wit-

ness agreed  not  together. 

57  ■'^And  there  arose  certain, 
and  ^'bare  'false  witness  against 
him,  saying, 

58  We  heard  him  say,  I  will  de- 
stroy this  temple  that  is  made 
with  hands,  and  within  three 
days  I  will  build  another  made 
without  hands. 

59  But  neither  so  did  their  wit- 
ness agree  together. 

60  ^  And  the  *'^igh  priest  stood 
up  in  the  midst,  and  asked  Je''- 
sus,  saying,  '"Answerest  thou 
nothing  ?  what  is  it  which  these 
witness  against  thee  ? 

61  ^But  "he  "held  his  peace,  and 
'"answered  nothing.  Again  the 
'^'^igh  priest  asked  him,  and  said 


unto  him.  Art  thou  the  "Christ, 
the  PSon  of  the  Blessed  ? 

62  And  Je'sus  said,  I  am:  and 
*ye  shall  see  the  Son  of  man  ''sit- 
ting on  the  right  hand  of  power, 
and  ^coming  in  the  clouds  of 
heaven. 

63  Then  the  ^•''high  priest  'rent 
his  clothes,  and  saith,  \Yhat  need 
we  any  further  witnesses  ? 

64  ■'••"Ye  have  heard  the  '^blas-

"they  all  condemned  him  to  be

on  him,  and  to  cover  his  face, 
and  to  buffet  him,  and  to  ^say 
unto  him,  Prophesy:  and  the

CHAPTER  15 

Jesus  is  (iclirered  over  to  Pilate;  I'l^cho  re- 
leases Barabbas  and  tleliiH'rs  .Jesus  to  br 
crucified.  17  The  crown  of  thorns.  22  The 
crucifixion.  29  The  priests  and  others 
mock.     37  Jesus  dies.     42  His  burial. 

AND  straightway  in  the  morn- 
ing tlie  chief  "priests  hekl  a 
consultation  with  the  ^elders  and 
''scribes  and  the  whole  council, 
and  ''bound  ''Je'gus,  and  carried 
Am  away,  and  ''delivered  him  to 
"Pi'late. 

2  'And  ''Pi'late  asked  him,  Art 
tliou  the  ''King  of  the  Jews  ? 
And  he  answering  said  unto 
him,  '^Thou  sayest  it. 

3  ''And  the  chief  "priests  ^ac- 
cused him  of  many  things:  'but 
^he  'answered  nothing. 

4  ^And  ^•'"Pl'late  asked  him 
again,  saying,  Answerest  thou 
nothing  ?  behold  how  many 
things  they  witness  against  thee. 

5  ''But  *Je'.sus  yet  'ansM'ered 
nothing;  so  that  "Pi'late  mar- 
velled. 

6  T[  Now  at  that  "feast  he  ^re- 
leased unto  them  one  "prisoner, 
whom.soever  they  desired. 

7  And  there  was  07ie  named ^Ba- 
rab'bas,  tvhirJi  lay  bound  with 
''them  that  had  made  insurrec- 
tion with  him,  who  had  commit- 
ted ''murder  in  the  insurrection. 

8  And  the  multitude  'crying 
aloud  began  to  desire  him  to  do 
as  he  had  ever  done  unto  them. 

9  But  "Pl'late  answered  them, 
saying.  Will  ye  that  I  release  un- 
to you  the  'King  of  the  Jews  ? 

10  For  he  knew  that  the  chief 
"•"priests  had  delivered  him  for 
'"•  ^en\y. 


11  But  the  chief  "priests  ^moved 
the  people,  that  he  should  rather 
release  ''Ba-rab'bas  inito  them. 

12  And  ''Pi'late  answered  and 
said  again  unto  them,  ^Yhat  Avill 
ye  then  that  I  shall  do  unto  hivi 
whom  ye  call  the  'King  of  the 
Jews  ? 

13  And  ^they  "'•  ^cried  out  again, 
*Crucify  him. 

MThen^Pi'late  said  unto  them, 
Why,  what  evil  hath  he  done  ? 
And  they  cried  out  the  more 
exceedingly,  *Crucify  him. 

15  And^  so  "•"•"Priate,  ''willing 
to  content  the  ^people,  releas- 
ed 'Bri-rab^jas  unto  them,  and 
delivered  Je'sus,  when  he  had 
"•''scourged'/rm,  to  be *crucified. 

16  Tf  ^And  the  ^soldiers  led  him 
away  into  the  hall,  called  ^Prte- 
to'ri-um;  and  they  call  together 
the  whole  band. 

17  x\nd  they  clothed  him  with 
^purple,  and  platted  a  '"crown  of 
"thorns,  and  put  it  about  his 
head, 

18  And  began  to  "salute  him. 
Hail,  '^King  of  the  Jews  I 

19  And  they  ^smote  him  on  the 
head  with  a  'reed,  and  did  spit 
upon  hiiu,  and  "'^bowing  iJicir 
knees  worshipped  him. 

20  ''And  when  they  had 
"mocked  him,  they  took  off 
the  'purple  from  him,  and  put 
his  own  clothes  on  him,  and 
led  him  out  to  *crucify  him. 

21  And  they  compel  one  ^Sl'- 
mon  a  (^y-re'm-an,  who  passed 
by,  coming  out  of  the  country, 
the  father  of  Al-e.x-an'der  and 
Mlii'fus,  to  bear  his  "cross. 

22  "And  they  bring  him  unto

being  interpreted.  The  place  of 
a  skull.

ments, casting  ''lots  upon  them, 
what  every  man  should  take. 

25  And  it  was  the  ''third  hour, 
and  they  *crucified  him. 

26  And  the  ■''superscription  of 
his  '^accusation  was  written  over, 
^THE  KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 

27  And  with  him  they  ^crucify

hand,  and  the  other  on  his 
left. 

28  ^And  the  '^scripture  was 
fulfilled,  which  saith,  ^And  he 
Avas  numbered  with  the  trans- 
gressors. 

29  *[[  And  they  that  passed  by 
'''^railed  on  him,  wagging  their 
heads,  and  ^saying.  Ah,  thou 
that  destroyest  the  temple,  and 
buildest  it  in  three  days, 

30  '''^Save  thyself,  and  come 
down  from  the  ''cross. 

31  Likewise  also  the  chief 
'priests  '^mocking  said  among 
themselves  with  tlie  '"scribes,  He 
saved  others;  himself  he  cannot 
save. 

32  ^-^Let  Christ  the  King  of 
Is'ra-el  descend  now  from  the 
''cross,  that  we  may  see  and  be- 
lieve. And  they  that  were  *cru- 
cified  with  him  reviled  him. 

33  T[  And  when  the  '^sixth  hour 
was  come,  "there  was  "darkness 
over  the  whole  land  until  the 
ninth  hour. 

34  And  at  the  ''ninth  hour  Je'-

^saying,  '•"•"Is-lo'I,  E-lO'I,  la'ma 
sa-bach'tha-ni  ?  Avhich  is,  being 
interpreted,  ]\Iy  God,  my  God 
why  hast  thou  forsaken  me  ? 

35  And  some  of  them  that 
stood  by,  when  they  heard  it, 
said,  Behold,  he  calleth  "'E-ll'as. 


36  And  one  ran  and  filled  a 
^spunge  full  of  ^vinegar,  and  put 
it  on  a  ^reed,  and  gave  him  to 
drink,  saying,  I^et  alone;  let  us 
see  whether  "'E-li'as  will  come 
to  take  him  down. 

37  And  "Je'.sus  cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  and  ''gave  up  the 
ghost. 

38  And  the  "■'^veil  of  the  ^temple 
was  rent  in  twain  from  the  top  to 
the  bottom. 

39  ^  ''And  when  the  "centuri- 
on, which  stood  over  against 
him,  saw  that  he  so  cried  out, 
and  *gave  up  the  ghost,  he  said. 
Truly  this  man  was  the  ''Son  of 
God. 

40  There  were  also  Vomen 
looking  on  afar  off:  among  whom 
was  •'Ma'ry  Mag-da-lc'ne,  and 
"Ma'r}r  the  mother  of  *  James

a  stone  unto  tlie  door  of  the

CHAPTER  16 

Jesus'  resurrection.  9  He  appears  to  Marv 
Magdalene,  to  tiro  disciples,  and  to  the 
eleven,  15  whom  lie  sends  forth  into  all  the 
world  to  preach  the  gospel  to  every  crea- 
ture.    19  His  ascension. 


^  \  ND     when 


the  "sabbath 
was  past,  '^•'^Ma'ry  ]\Iag- 
da-le'ne,  and  '^^Nla'ry  the  m,oth.- 
cr  of  ''James,  and  *Sa-lo'me, 
had  bought  sweet  ^spices,  that 
they  might  come  and  ''anoint 
him. 

2  And  very  early  in  the  morning 
the  first  day  of  the  week,  ''they 
came  unto  the  sepulchre  at  the 
rising  of  the  sun. 

3  And  they  said  among  them- 
selves, Who  shall  roll  us  away 
the  stone  from  the  door  of  the 
sepulchre  ? 

4  And  when  they  looked,  tliey 
saw  that  the  stone  was  rolled 
away:  for  it  was  very  great. 

5  And  entering  into  the  sepul- 
chre, they  saw  a  ^young  man  sit- 
ting on  the  right  side,  clothed  in 
a  long  %hite  garment;  and  they 
were  'affrighted. 

0  And  lie  saitli  unto  them,  *Be 
not  'affrighted:  Ye  seek  Je'sus 
of  Xaz'a-reth,  which  was  'cruci- 
fied: he  is  '"risen;  he  is  not  here: 
behold  the  place  where  they  laid 
him. 

7  But  go  your  way,  tell  his 
"disci[)les  and  "Pe'ter  that  he 
goeth  before  you  into  ^Gal'i-lee: 


there  shall  ye  see  him,  as  he  said 
unto  you. 

8  And  they  went  out  quickly, 
and  fled  from  the  sepulchre; 
for  they  trembled  and  were 
amazed:  neither  said  they  any 
thing  to  any  man;  for  they 
were  afraid. 

9  Tf  Now  when  Jd'^us  was 
'"risen  early  the  ^first  day  of 
the  week,  he  ■'■appeared  first 
to  '^•^Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne,  out 
of  whom  he  had  cast  seven 
''devils. 

10  And  ''she  went  and  told  them 
that  had  been  with  him,  as  they 
mourned  and  wept. 

11  And  they,  when  they  had 
heard  that  he  was  '"alive,  and 
had  been  seen  of  her,  ^-'beheved 
not. 

12  Tl  "After  that  he  ^appeared  in 
another  form  unto  two  of  them, 
as  they  walked,  and  went  into 
the  country. 

13  And  they  went  and  told  it 
unto  the  residue:  *■  ^neither  be- 
lieved they  them. 

14  ^  Afterward  he  ■'■■^appeared 
unto  the  "eleven  as  they  sat  at 
meat,  and  upbraided  them  with 
their  ''^unbelief  and  hardness  of 
heart,  because  they  believed  not 
them  which  had  seen  him  after 
he  was  "'risen, 

15  '"And  he  said  unto  ^them, 
^Go  ye  into  all  the  world,  and 
^jireach  the  ''gospel  to  every 
creature. 

16  He  that  "believeth  and  is 
""baptized  ''shall  be  ^saved;  l)ut 
he  that  ''■"believeth  not  shall  be 
^•Mamned. 

17  And  these  signs  shall  follow 
Hhem  that  ''believe;  In  my  'name

FORASIMUCH  as  many  have 
taken  in  hand  to  ^set  forth 
in  order  a  declaration  of  those 
things  which  are  most  surely  be- 
lieved among  us, 

2  Even  as  they  delivered  them 
unto  °us,  which  from  the  be- 
ginning were  eyewitnesses,  and 
''ministers  of  the  word; 

3  ^t  seemed  good  to  '^me  also, 
having  ^had  perfect  understand- 
ing of  all  things  from  the  very 
first,  to  write  unto  thee  in  order, 
most  excellent  *The-oph'i-lus, 

4  That  thou  mightest  know  the 
certainty  of  those  things,  wherein 
thou  hast  been  instructed. 

5  ^  There  was  in  the  days  of 
Her'od,  the  ^king  of  " Ju-dfe'a,  a 
certain  ''priest  named  '^Zach-a- 
rl'as,  of  the  course  of  'A-bl'a: 
and  his  wife  was  of  the  daugh- 
ters of  ^Aar'on,  and  her  name 
was  L-lls'a-beth. 

6  And  *''they  were  both  right- 
eous before  God,  "'■'^walking  in 
all  the  "commandments  and  or- 
dinances of  the  Lord  ^blameless. 

7  And  they  had  no  child,  be- 


cause that  E-li.s'a-b6th  was  'bar- 
ren, and  they  both  were  now 
''well  stricken  in  years. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
while  *he  executed  the  ''priest's 
office  before  God  in  the  order 
of  his  course, 

9  According  to  the  custom  of 
the  priest's  office,  his  lot  was  *to 
burn  'incense  when  he  went  into 
the  "temple  of  the  Lord. 

10  And  the  whole  multitude  of 
the  people  were  "praying  with- 
out at  the  time  of  'incense. 

11  And  there  "'appeared  unto 
'him  an  ^•''angel  of  the  Lord 
standing  on  the  right  side  of  the 
^altar  of  incense. 

12  And  when  "Z3,ch-a-rfas  saw 
^him,  he  was  troubled,  and  fear 
fell  upon  him. 

13  But  the  "angel  said  unto 
him,  Fear  not,  "Zach-a-ri'as :  for 
thy  ''prayer  is  heard;  and  thy 
wife  fe-lls'a-beth  shall  bear  thee 
a  *son,  and  thou  shalt  call  his 
name  John. 

14  And  thou  shalt  have  'joy 
and  gladness;  and  many  shall 
rejoice  at  his  birth. 

15  For  he  shall  be  great  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  "shall 
drink  neither  'Svine  nor  strong 
drink;  and  %e  shall  be  ''-^filled 
with  the  'Holy  Ghost,  even  from 
his  mother's  womb.

16  And  many  of  the  children  of 
Ls'ra-el  shall  he  turn  to  the  Lord 
their  God. 

17  '"And  he  shall  go  before 
him  in  the  spirit  and  "power 
of  °E-ll'as,  to  turn  the  hearts  of 
the  fathers  to  the  children,  and 
the  disobedient  to  the  ^wisdom 
of  the  just;  to  make  ready  a 
people  prepared  for  the  Lord. 

18  And  °Zach-a-rI'as  said  unto 
the  '^angel,  *•'■■''^Yhereby  shall  I 
know  this  ?  for  I  am  an  'old  man, 
and  my  Avife  'well  stricken  in 
years. 

19  And  the  angel  answering 
said  unto  him,  I  am  '^Ga'bri-el, 
that  stand  in  the  presence  of 
God;  and  am  "sent  to  speak  un- 
to thee,  and  to  shew  thee  these 
glad  tidings. 

20  And,  behold,  thou  shalt  be 
'•"dumb,  and  not  able  to  speak, 
until  the  day  that  these  things 
shall  be  performed,  because  thou 
"believest  not  my  words,  which 
shall  be  fulfilled  in  their  season. 

21  And  the  people  waited  for 
"Zach-a-rl'as,  and  marvelled  that 
he  tarried  so  long  in  the  ^temple. 

22  And  when  he  came  out,  he 
"could  not  speak  unto  them:  and 
they  perceived  that  he  had  seen 
a  ^vision  in  the  ^temple:  for  he 
^beckoned  unto  them,  and  re- 
mained speechless. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
as  soon  as  the  days  of  his  min- 
istration were  accomplished,  he 
departed  to  his  own  house. 

24  And  after  those  days  his  wife 
E-li.s'a-beth  ^conceived,  and  hid 
herself  five  months,  saying, 

25  Thus  hath  the  Lord  dealt 
with  me  in  the  days  wherein  he 
looked  on  me,  to  take  away  my 
"reproach  among  men. 

26  1  And  in  the  sixth  month  the 
*angel  '^Ga'bri-el  was  sent  from  1 


God  unto  a  city  of  <^Gal'i-lee, 
named  ''Naz'a-reth, 

27  To  a  ^•irgin  "'''espoused  to  a 
man  whose  name  was  ^Jo'seph, 
of  the  house  of  'Da'vid;  and  the 
virgin's  name  was  *i\Ia'ry. 

28  And  the  ^■'^angel  came  in  un- 
to *her,  and  said.  Hail,  thou  that 
art  highly  favoured,  the  Lord  is 
with  thee:  ^blessed  art  thou 
among  women. 

29  x\nd  when  *she  saw  him,  she 
was  troubled  at  his  saying,  and 
cast  in  her  mind  what  manner  of 
salutation  this  should  be. 

30  And  the  ^- ''angel  said  unto 
her.  Fear  not,  *jMa'ry:  for  ^thou 
hast  found  ^favour  with  God. 

31  And,  behold,  thou  shalt  "'con- 
ceive in  thy  womb,  and  bring 
forth  a  son,  and  shalt  call  his 
name  "JE'SUS. 

32  "He  shall  be  great,  and  shall 
be  called  the  "•  ^Son  of  the  High- 
est: and  the  Lord  God  shall  give 
unto  ''him  the  ''throne  of  his  fa- 
ther ^Da'vid: 

33  And  ^he  shall  reign  over  the 
house  of  Ja'cob  for  ever;  and  of 
his  'kingdom  there  shall  be  no 
end. 

34  Then  said  *AIa.'ry  unto  the 
'"''^angel.  How  shall  this  be,  see- 
ing I  know  not  a  man  ? 

35  And  the  *• '"angel  answered 
and  said  unto  her.  The  ''"Holy 
Ghost  shall  come  upon  thee,  and 
the  power  of  the  "Highest  shall 
overshadow  thee:  therefore  also 
that  "holy  thing  which  shall  be 
born  of  thee  shall  be  called  the 
P-^Son  of  God. 

36  And,  behold,  thy  cousin 
E.-lis'a-betli,  slie  hath  also  '"con- 
ceived a  son  in  her  "old  age:  and 
this  is  the  sixth  month  with  her, 
who  was  called  "^barren. 

37  For  ^with  ^God  nothing  shall 
be  impossible.  '

38  And  *Ma'ry  said,  Behold 
the  handmaid  of  the  Lord;  ^be 
it  unto  me  according  to  thy 
word.  And  the  angel  departed 
from  her. 

39  T[  And  *]Ma'ry  arose  in  those 
days,  and  went  into  the  hill  coun- 
try with  haste,  into  a  city  of 
MiVda; 

40  And  entered  into  the  house 
of  "Zach-a-rl'as,  and  saluted 
E-lis'a-beth. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  E-lis'a-beth  heard  the'^salu- 
tation  of  *]\La'ry,  the  babe  leaped 
in  her  womb;  and  ''E-lis'a-beth 
was  "filled  witli  the  Holy  Ghost: 

42  And  ^•'^she  spake  out  with 
a  loud  voice,  and  said,  ^Blessed 
art  thou  among  women,  and 
blessed  is  the  fruit  of  thy  womb. 

43  ^■''And  whence  is  this  to  me, 
that  the  mother  of  my  Lord 
should  come  to  me  ? 

44  ^For,  lo,  as  soon  as  the  voice 
of  thy  '^salutation  sounded  in 
mine  ears,  the  babe  leaped  in 
my  womb  for  joy. 

45  ^'And  blessed  is  she  that  "be- 
lieved: for  there  shall  be  a  ^■''per- 
formance of  those  things  which 
were  told  her  from  the  Lord. 

46  T[  And  *''^iMa'ry  said,  «IMy 
soul  doth  hnagnify  the  Lord, 

47  ''And  my  spirit  hath  ^re- 
joiced in  God  my  '■'Saviour. 

48  *For  he  hath  'regarded  the 
'low  estate  of  his  handmaiden: 
for,  behold,  from  henceforth 
all  generations  shall  call  me 
blessed. 

49  For  he  that  is  "'mighty  hath 
done  to  me  great  things;  and 
"holy  is  his  name. 

50  And  his  "mercy  is  on  them 
that  ^fear  him  from  generation 
to  generation. 


51  He  hath  shewed  '"strength 
with  his  ^'''arin;  he  hath  scat- 
tered the  *' 'proud  in  the  imagi- 
nation of  their  hearts. 

52  He  hath  put  down  the 
mighty  from  their  seats,  and 
"exalted  them  of  low  degree. 

53  He  hath  filled  the  ^■"'hungry 
with  good  things;  and  the  'rich 
•^he  hath  sent  empty  away. 

54  He  hath  '"'holpen  his  servant 
Is'ra-el,  in  ''remembrance  of  his 
"mercy; 

55  As  he  ^'^spake  to  our  fa- 
thers, to  A'bra-ham,  and  to  his 
seed  for  ever. 

50  And  *]Ma'ry  abode  with 
lier  about  three  months,  and 
returned  to  her  own  house. 

57  Tf  Now  f:-hs'a-bcth's  full 
time  came  that  she  should  be 
delivered;  and  she  brought  forth 
a  son. 

58  And  her  neighbours  and  her 
^cousins  heard  how  the  Lord  had 
shewed  great  "mercy  upon  her; 
and  they  rejoiced  with  her. 

59  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
on  the  eighth  day  they  came  to 
"circumci-se  the  child;  and  they 
called  him  "^Zacb  a-rl'as,  after 
the  nam.e  of  his  father. 

60  And  his  mother  answered 
and  .said,  Not  so;  but  he  shall  be 
called  -fJohn. 

01  And  they  said  unto  her. 
There  is  none  of  thy  kindred 
that  is  called  by  this  name. 

02  And  they  made  signs  to  his 
"■father,  how  he  would  have  him 
called. 

63  And  he  asked  for  a  writing 
^table,  and  wrote,  saying.  His 
name  is  •^John.  And  they  mar- 
velled all. 

64  And  his  mouth  was  opened 
immediately,    and    his   tongue

6  And  so  it  was,  that,  while 
''■'they  were  Hhere,  the  days  were 
accomphshed  that  she  should  be 
delivered. 

7  And  she  '^brought  forth  her 
firstborn  son,  and  "wrapped  him 
in  ^swaddling  clothes,  and  laid 
him  in  a  manger;  because  there 
was  no  room  for  them  in  the  inn. 

8  T[  And  there  were  in  the  same 
country  ^shepherds  abiding  in 
the  field,  keeping  watch  over 
their  flock  by   night. 

9  And,  lo,  the ''angel  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  them,  and  the  'glory 
of  the  Lord  shone  round  about 
them:  and  they  were  sore  afraid. 

10  And  the  ''angel  said  unto 
them,  Fear  not:  for,  'behold,  I 
bring  you  ''good  tidings  of  great 
"joy,  which  shall  be  to  all 
jieople. 

11  For  unto  you  is  "•'"born 
this  day  in  the  'city  of  Da'vid 
a  ^Saviour,  which  is  ^Christ  the 
Lord. 

12  And  this  shall  be  a  sign 
unto  you;  Ye  shall  find  the 
babe  wrapped  in  ''swaddling 
clothes,  lying  in  a  manger. 

13  And  suddenly  there  was 
with  the  ''angel  a  multitude  of 
the  heavenly  host  Upraising  God, 
and  saying, 

14  "Glory  to  God  in  the  high- 
est, and  on  earth  ''•'^peace,  ^good 
will  toward  men. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the 
'^angels  were  gone  away  from 
them  into  heaven,  the  *shep- 
herds  said  one  to  another.  Let 
us  now  go  even  unto  ''Beth'lf- 
h6m,  and  see  this  thing  which 
is  come  to  pass,  which  the  Lord 
hath  made  known  unto  us. 

16  And  they  "came  with  haste, 
and  found  ''INIa'ry,  and  ^Jo'seph, 
and  the  babe  lying  in  a  manger. 

17  And  when  they  had  seen 
it,  they  '•''^made  known  abroad 
the  saying  which  was  told  them 
concerning   this   child. 


18  And  all  they  that  heard  it 
wondered  at  those  things  which 
were  told  them  by  the  *shep- 
herds. 

19  But  '^Ma'ry  kept  all  these 
things,  and  pondered  them  in 
her  heart. 

20  And  the  "shepherds  returned, 
"' 'glorifying  and  praising  God  for 
all  the  things  that  they  had  heard 
and  seen,  as  it  was  told  unto 
them. 

21  ^  '"And  when  eight  days 
were  accomplished  for  the  "cir- 
cumcising of  the  child,  his  name 
was  called  "JE'SUS,  which  was 
so  named  of  the  '^angel  before  he 
was  conceived  in  the  womb. 

22  And  when  the  days  of 
%er  ^purification  according  to 
the  ''law  of  IVIo'ses  were  ac- 
complished, they  brought  *him 
to  'Jc-ru'sa-lein,  to  present  him 
to  the  Lord; 

23  (As  it  is  written  in  the  '^law 
of  the  Lord,  ''Every  "male  that 
openeth  the  womb  shall  be 
called  holy   to   the  Lord;) 

24  And  to  offer  a  ""sacrifice 
according  to  that  which  is  said 
in  the  '^law  of  the  Lord,  ^A  pair 
of  ^turtledoves,  or  two  young 
^pigeons. 

25  And,  behold,  there  was 
a  man  in  '^Je-rii'sa-lem,  whose 
name  was  Sim'e-on;  and  the 
same  man  was  just  and  de- 
vout, *■ '^waiting  for  the  consola- 
tion of  Ls'ra-el:  and  the  ''Holy 
^Ghost    was  *''upon  him. 

26  And  it  was  "revealed  unto 
him  by  the  "Holy  •'Ghost,  -^that 
he  should  not  see  Meath,  before 
he  had  seen  the  Lord's  Christ. 

27  And  he  came  by  the  ''Spirit 
into  the  'temple:  and  when  the 
^parents  brought  in  the  child 
Je'sus,  to  'do  for  him  after  the 
custom  of  the  "'law, 

28  Then  took  he  him  up  in  his 
arms,  and  "-"blessed  God,  and 
said,

CHAPTER  4 

The  temptation  of  Jestis.  14  He  returns  to 
Galilee:  16  and  is  rejected  at  Nazareth. 
33  A  7nan  unth  an  unclean  spirit  is 
healed:  38  also  Peter's  wife's  mother.  40 
and  many  others.  43  Jesus  preaches  in 
Galilee. 

AND  '^Je'sus  being  full  of 
the  "Holy  ^ Ghost  returned 
from  "^Jor'dan,  and  was  led  by 
the  Spirit  into  the  wilderness, 

2  Being  '^forty  days  ^"'tempted 
of  the  "devil.  And  in  those  days 
he  ''did  eat  nothing:  and  when 
they  were  ended,  he  afterward 
'hungered. 

3  And  the  ''devil  ^-^said  vmto 
him,  If  thou  be  the  ^Son  of  God, 
command  this  stone  *^that  it  be 
made  bread. 

4  And  Je'.sus  'answered  him, 
saying,  It  is  written,  That  "'man 
shall  not  live  by  bread  alone, 
^but  by  every  word  of  God. 

5  And  the  "devil,  taking  him  up 
^into  an  high  mountain,  ^-  "shewed 
unto  him  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
world  in  a  moment  of  time. 

6  And  the  "devil  ''"'said  unto 
him,  "'"All  this  power  will  I  give 
thee,  and  the  glory  of  them:  for 
that  is  delivered  unto  me;  and  to 
whomsoever  I  will  I  give  it. 

7  If  thou  therefore  wilt  ^wor- 
ship me,  "all  shall  be  thine. 

8  And  Je'.sus  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  *• 'Get  thee  behind  me, 
"Sa'tan:  for  it  is  written,  *Thou 
shalt ''worship  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  *him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 

9  And  "he  brought  him  to  'Je- 


ru'sa-l6m,  and  set  him  on  a  pin- 
nacle of  the  ''temple,  and  ''•^said 
unto  him.  If  thou  be  the  ^Son  of 
God,  "cast  thyself  down  from 
hence: 

10  For  it  is  written,  '"He  shall 
give  his  ^angels  charge  over  thee, 
to  keep  thee: 

11  "'And  in  their  hands  they 
shall  bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any 
time  thou  dash  thy  foot  against 
a  stone. 

12  And  Je'.sus  'answering  said 
unto  him.  It  is  said,  ^Thou  shalt 
not  tempt  the  Lord  thy  God. 

13  And  when  the  "devil  had 
ended  all  the  "'^temptation,  he 
departed  from  him  for  a  sea- 
.son. 

14  ^  And  ^Je'sus  returned  in 
the  "power  of  the  Spirit  into 
*GaFi-lee:  ''and  there  went  out  a 
"^fame  of  him  through  all  the  re- 
gion round  about. 

15  And  he  "-^taught  in  tlieir 
".synagogues,  being  glorified  of 
all. 

IG  ^  ''And  he  came  to  'Naz/a- 
reth,  where  he  had  been  brought 
up:  and,  as  his  custom  was,  he 
went  into  the  "synagogue  on  the 
'sabbath  day,  and  stood  up  for 
to  ''read. 

17  And  there  was  delivered  un- 
to him  the  'book  of  the  '"prophet 
"fi-,sa'ias.  And  when  he  had 
opened  the  book,  he  found  the 
place  where  it  was  written, 

18  "The  ^Spirit  of  the  Lord  is 
upon  me,  because  he  hath  ^an- 
ointed me  ''to  *preach  the  'gos- 
pel to  the  "poor;  he  hath  sent  me 
''to  ^heal  the  "brokenhearted,  ''to 
preach  deliverance  to  the  '"cap- 
tives, and  recovering  of  sight  to 
the  ^blind,  ''to  set  at  ^liberty 
them  that  are  bruised, 

19  ''To  *preach  the  acceptable 
year  of  the  Lord. 

20  And  he  closed  the  book,  and 
he  gave  it  again  to  the  minister, 
and  sat  down.    And  the  eyes  of

ciU  them  that  were  in  the  syna-

21  And  he  began  to  say  unto 
them,  "^rhis  day  is  this  ^'"scri})- 
ture  fulfilled  in  your  ears. 

22  And  all  bare  him  witness, 
and  wondered  at  the  gracious 
*words  which  proceeded  out  of 
his  mouth.  And  they  said.  Is  not 
this  Jo'seph's  *son  ? 

23  And  he  said  unto  them,  '^Ye 
will  surely  say  unto  me  this 
''proverb,  "Physician,  heal  thy- 
self: whatsoever  we  have  heard 
done  in  Ca-per'na-iim,  do  also 
here  in  thy  country. 

24  And  he  said,  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  ''No  ^'*pro])hct  is  ac- 
cepted in  his  own  country. 

25  But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth, 
many  ^widows  were  in  Ls'ra-el 
in  the  days  of  ^E-li'as,  when  the 
heaven  was  shut  up  three  years 
and  six  months,  when  great* fam- 
ine was  throughout  all  the  land; 

26  But  unto  none  of  them  was 
^E-ll'as  sent,  save  unto  'Sa-rep'- 
ta,  a  city  of  Si'don,  unto  a  wom- 
an that  ivas  a  Vidow. 

27  And  many  "'lepers  were  in 
I.s'ra-el  in  the  time  of  "El-i-se'- 
us  the  ^prophet;  and  none  of 
tliein  was  cleansed,  saving  °Na'- 
a-man  the  ^Syr'i-an. 

28  And  all  they  in  the  ^syna- 
gogue, when  they  heard  these 
things,  '■•*were  filled  with  'wrath, 

29  And  rose  up,  and  "•"•'"thrust 
him  out  of  the  city,  and  led  him 
unto  the  brow  of  the  hill  where- 
on their  city  was  built,  that  they 
might  cast  him  down  headlong. 

30  But  he  passing  through  the 
midst  of  them  went  his  way, 


31  ^And  came  down  to  ^Ca- 
per'na-uin,  a  city  of  ^G^Fi-lee, 
and  ^'"taught  them  on  the  ''sab- 
bath days. 

32  And  they  were  astonished  at 
his  ^•"■Moctrine:  for  his  word 
was  with  ^^ ''power. 

33  Tf  "And  in  the  '.synagogue 
there  was  a  man,  which  had  a 
spirit  of  an  unclean  devil,  and 
cried  out  with  a  loud  voice, 

34  Saying,  Let  vs  alone;  what 
have  we  to  do  with  thee,  tliou 
Je'.sus  of  "Niz^a-reth  ?  art  thou 
come  to  destroy  us  ?  I  know  thee 
who  thou  art;  the  ''Holy  One  of 
God. 

35  And  Je'.sus  rebuked  him, 
saying.  Hold  thy  peace,  and 
come  out  of  him.  And  when  the 
devil  had  thrown  him  in  the 
midst,  he  Y-ame  out  of  him,  antl 
hurt  him  not. 

36  And  they  were  all  amazed, 
and  spake  among  themselves, 
saying,  What  a  word  is  this!  iov 
with  authority  and  power  he 
commandeth  the  unclean  spirits, 
and  they  come  out. 

37  And  the  ^fame  of  him  went 
out  into  every  place  of  the  coun- 
try round  about. 

38  T[  *And  he  arose  out  of 
the  'synagogue,  and  entered  into 
'Si'mon's  house.  And  Simmon's 
'"wife's  "mother  was  taken  with 
a  great  "fever;  and  they  ^be- 
sought him   for   her. 

39  And  he  stood  over  her,  and 
rebuked  the  "n'ever;  and  it  '-left 
her:  and  immediately  she  arose 
and  ministered  unto  them. 

40  *\  Now  when  the  sun  was  set- 
ting, all  they  that  had  any  sick

CHAPTER  5 

Jesus  teacfies  the  people.  4  The  miraculous 
draught  of  fishes.  10  The  calling  of  Pe- 
ter, James,  and  John.  12  Jestts  cleanses 
a  leper;  16  prays  in  the  wilderness:  18 
fieals  one  sick  of  the  palsy;  27  and  calls 
Levi,  29  who  makes  a  feast,  at  which 
Jesus  eats  with  publicans  and  sinners. 
33  He  justifies  his  disciples  in  not  fasting. 
36  New  cloth  not  put  on  old  garments,  nor 
new  wine  in  old  wine-skins. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
"the  people  pressed  upon 
*him  '^to  '^hear  the  ''•'word  of  God, 
he  stood  by  the  ^lake  of  Gen- 
nes'a-ret, 

2  And  saw  two  ^■''ships  stand- 
ing by  the  ''lake :  but  the  *fisher- 
men  were  gone  out  of  them,  and 
were  washing  their  *nets. 

3  And  he  entered  into  one  of 
the  ^- ''ships,  which  was  'Si'mon's, 
and  prayed  him  that  he  would 
thrust  out  a  little  from  the  land. 


And  *he  sat  down,  and  ''■ 'taught 
the  people  out  of  the  ship. 

4  Now  when  he  had  left  speak- 
ing, he  "'said  unto  ^Si'mon, 
Launch  out  into  the  deep,  and 
let  down  your  *nets  fora  draught. 

5  And  ^Si'mon  answering  said 
unto  him,  Master,  we  have  toiled 
all  the  night,  and  have  taken 
nothing:  nevertheless  "at  thy 
word  I  will  "let  down  the  *net. 

6  And  when  they  had  this  done, 
they  inclosed  a  great  multitude 
of  ^fishes:  and  their  net  brake. 

7  And  they  beckoned  unto 
their  partners,  which  were  in 
the  other  ''ship,  that  they  should 
come  and  help  them.  And  they 
came,  and  filled  both  the  ^ships, 
so  that  they  began  to  sink. 

8  When  ^Sl'mon  Pe'ter  saw  it, 
he  'fell  down  at  Je'.sus'  knees, 
saying,  Depart  from  me;  for  '''^I 
am  a,  sinful  man,  O  Lord. 

9  For  he  was  astonished,  and 
all  that  were  with  him,  at  the 
draught  of  the  ^fishes  which 
they  had  taken: 

10  And  so  was  also  ^Jame.s, 
and  'John,  the  sons  of  "Zeb'e- 
dee,  which  were  partners  with 
Si'mon.  And  Je'sus  said  unto 
'Si'mon,  Fear  not;  "from  hence- 
forth *'"'thou  shalt  catch  men. 

11  And  when  they  had  brought 
their  ships  to  land,  they  "'"forsook 
all,  and  ^followed  him. 

12  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  was  in  a  certain  city,  ^behold  a 
man  full  of  ^leprosy:  who  seeing 
Je'.sus  fell  on  his  face,  and  be- 
sought him,  "saying.  Lord,  if  thou 
wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean.

the  ^power  of  the  Lord  was  pres- 
ent to  '^heal  them. 

18  T[  And,  behold,  men 
'■•'•'brought  in  a  bed  a  man  which 
was  taken  with  a  ''palsy:  and 
they  sought  means  to  bring  him 
in,  and  to  lay  him  before  him. 

19  And  when  they  could  not  find 
by  what  way  they  might  bring 
him  in  because  of  the  multitude, 
'^^they  went  upon  the  ""housetop, 
and  '■•'■'let  him  down  through 
the  tiling  with  his  couch  into  the 
midst  before  Je'sus. 

20  And  when  he  saw  their  ''faith, 
^he  said  unto  him,  Man,  thy  sins 
are  ^forgiven  thee. 

21  And  the  ''scribes  and  the 
"Phar'i-see.s  began  to  ^reason, 
saying,  Who  is  this  which  s]>eak- 
eth  '^blasphemies  ?  Who  can  for- 
give sins,  but  God  alone  ? 


22  But  when  Je'.sus  '^perceived 
their  thoughts,  he  answering  said 
unto  them,  What  ''reason  ye  in 
your  hearts  ? 

23  Whether  is  easier,  to  say, 
Thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee;  or  to 
say,  Rise  up  and  walk  ? 

24  But  that  ye  may  know  that 
the  *Son  of  man  hath  -^power  up- 
on earth  to  forgive  sins,  (he  said 
unto  the  sick  of  the  palsy,)  I  say 
unto  thee.  Arise,  and  take  up  thy 
couch,  and  go  into  thine  house. 

25  And  immediately  he  "•''rose 
up  before  them,  and  took  up  that 
whereon  he  lay,  and  departed  to 
his  own  house,  ®' ^glorifying  God. 

26  And  they  were  all  amazed, 
and  Hhey  ®glorified  God,  and 
were  filled  with  fear,  saying.  We 
have  seen  strange  things  to  day. 

27  ^  And  after  these  things  he 
went  forth,  and  saw  a  ^publican, 
named  ^Le'vl,  sitting  at  the  ^re- 
ceipt of  "'custom:  and  he  said 
unto  "him,  "Follow  me. 

28  x\nd  he  ^left  all,  rose  up,  and 
followed  him 

29  And  'Le'vl  ^made  *him  a 
great  ''feast  in  his  own  house: 
and  there  was  a  great  company 
of  ^''publicans  and  of  others  that 
sat  down  with  them. 

30  But  their  'scribes  and  °Phar'- 
i-see.s  "murmured  against  his  "dis- 
ciples, saying,  "'•  *Why  do  ye  eat 
and  drink  with  ^^publicans  and 
sinners  ? 

31  And  Je'.sus  answering  said 
unto  them.  They  that  are 
■'^•^whole  need  not  a  ^physician; 
but  they  that  are  sick. 

32  °I  camo  not  to  call  the 
"•'^righteous,  but  ''sinners  to  ^re- 
pentance. 

33  ^  And  they  said  unto  him,

Why  do  the  Misciples  of  "John 
''fast  often,  and  make  'prayers, 
and  likewise  the  disciples  of  the 
'Phar'i-see.s;  but  thine  eat  and

34  And  he  said  unto  them.  Can 
ye  make  the  children  of  the  bride- 
chamber  ''fast,  while  the  ^bride- 
groom  is  with  them  ? 

35  But  the  days  will  come,  when 
the  ^bridegroom  shall  be  taken 
away  from  them,  and  then  shall 
they  ''fast  in  those  days.

able unto  them ;  "'■  "No  man  ^put- 
teth a  piece  of  a  new  garment 
upon  an  old;  if  otherwise,  then 
both  the  new  maketh  a  rent,  and

CHAPTER  6 

The  disciples  pluck  ears  of  corn  on  the  Sab- 
bath. 6  Jesus  heals  a  withered  hand.  1 2 
He  chooses  the  twelve  apostles;  17  and 
heals  the  multitudes.  20  The  beatitudes. 
27  Love  towards  enemies.  37  Rash  judg- 
ment reproved.  47  The  house  built  upon 
a  rock,  or  upon  the  sand. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  ''on 
the  second  ^sabbath  after 
the  first,  that  he  went  through  the 
''corn  fields;  and  his  "^disciples 
plucked  the  ears  of  corn,  and  did 
eat,  rubbing  them  in  their  hands. 

2  And  certain  of  the  ^Phar'i- 
sees  said  unto  them.  Why  do  ye 
that  which  is  not  lawful  to  do 
on  the  sabbath  days  ? 

3  And  ^Je'.sus  answering  them 
said.  Have  ye  not  read  so  much 


as  this,  what  "Da'vid  did,  when 
himself  was  an  ''hungred,  and 
they  which  were  with  him; 

4  How  "he  went  into  the  'house 
of  God,  and  did  take  and  eat 
the  ^hewbread,  and  gave  also  to 
them  that  were  with  him;  which 
it  is  not  lawful  to  eat  but  for  the 
^priests  alone  ? 

5  And  ''he  said  unto  them.  That 
the  'Son  of  man  is  Lord  also  of 
the  ''sabbath. 

G  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  also 
on  another  *sabbath,  that  he  en- 
tered into  the  '"synagogue  and 
"•"taught:  and  ^there  was  a  man 
whose  right  hand  was  withered. 

7  And  the  ^scribes  and  ''Phur'- 
i-see.s  watched  him,  whether  he 
would  heal  on  the  sabbath  day; 
that  they  might  find  an  accusa- 
tion against  him. 

8  But  he  ''knew  their  thoughts, 
and  said  to  the  man  which  had 
the  withered  hand,  Rise  up,  and 
stand  forth  in  the  midst.  And  he 
arose  and  stood  forth. 

9  Then  said  Je'.sus  unto  them,  I 
will  ask  you  one  thing;  Is  it  law- 
ful on  the  sabbath  days  to  do 
good,  or  to  do  'ev  1?  to  save  fife, 
or  to  destroy  it  ? 

10  And  looking  round  about 
upon  them  all,  he  said  unto  the 
man.  Stretch  forth  thy  hand. 
And  he  did  so:  and  his  hand  *was 
restored  whole  as  the  other. 

11  And  they  were  filled  with 
'madness;  and  communed  one 
with  another  what  they  might 
"do  to  Je'.sus. 

12  ^  And  it  came  to  pa.ss  in 
those  days,  that  he  went  out  into 
a  "mountain  to  "'•  ^pray,  and  con- 
tinued all  night  in  prayer  to  God. 

13  And  when  it  was  day,  he 
called  unto  him  his  ^disciples: 
and  of  them  he  ^chose  twelve, 
whom  also  he  named  *apostles;

love  you,  what  thank  have  ye  ? 
for  sinners  also  love  those  that

33  And  if  ye  do  good  to  them 
which  do  good  to  you,  what 
thank  have  ye  ?  for  sinners  also 
do  even  the  same. 

34  And  if  'ye  '"lend  to  them  of 
whom  ye  hope  to  receive,  what 
thank  have  ye  ?  for  sinners  also 
lend  to  sinners,  to  receive  as 
much  again. 

35  But  '^•"•"love  ye  your 
enemies,  and  ^•''do  good,  and 
''■'"lend,  ^hoping  for  nothing 
again;  and  your  ^reward  shall 
be  great,  and  ye  shall  be  *the 
children  of  the  Plighest:  for  he 
is  '''*kind  unto  the  'unthankful 
and  to  the  evil. 

36  "'^Be  ye  therefore  merciful, 
"'as  your  ^Father  also  is  ^merciful. 

37  ^'*'* Judge  not,  and  ye  shall 
not  be  judged :  ^condemn  not,  and 
ye  shall  not  be  condemned:  ''for- 
give, and  ye  shall  be  forgiven: 

38  ''Give,  and  it  shall  be  given 
unto  you;  good  measure,  pressed 
down  and  shaken  together,  and 
running  over,  shall  men  give  into 
your  bosom.  For  ''with  the  same 
measure  that  ye  mete  withal  it 
shall  be  measured  to  you  again. 

39  And  he  spake  a  ''parable  un- 
to them,  ^Can  the  ''blind  lead  the 
blind  ?  shall  they  not  both  fall 
into^the  ditch? 

40  *The  disciple  is  not  above 
his  master:  but  every  one  ^that 
is  'perfect  shall  be  as  his  master. 

41  And  *why  beholdest  thou 
the  mote  that  is  in  thy  brother's 
eye,  but  perceivest  not  the  beam 
that  is  in  thine  own  eye  ? 

42  ''^Either  how  canst  thou  say 
to  thy  brother,  Brother,  let  me 
pull  out  the  mote  that  is  in  thine 
eye,  when  thou  thyself  beholdest 
not  the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own

first  the  beam  out  of  thine  own

clearly  to  pull  out  the  mote  that 
is  in  thy  brother's  eye. 

43  '"For  ^a,  "good  tree  bringeth

44  For  ''every  tree  is  known

ure of  his  heart  ^bringeth  forth 
that  which  is  evil:  for  of  the 
abundance  of  the  heart  his

46  Tf  And  ^why  call  ye  me. 
Lord,  Lord,  and  do  not  the 
tilings  which  I  ^say  ? 

47  '^Whosoever  cometh  to  me,

'^■'^•Moeth  them,  I  will  shew  you 
to  whom  he  is  like: 

48  ''He  is  like  a  man  which  built 
an  house,  and  digged  deep,  and 
laid  the  foundation  on  a  rock: 
and  when  the  '^' 'flood  arose,  the 
stream  beat  vehemently  upon 
that  house,  and  could  not  shake 
it:  °for  it  was  founded  upon  a 
rock. 

49  But  he  that  *heareth,  and 
'doeth  not,  is  like  a  man  that 
without  a  foundation  built  an 
house  upon  the  earth;  against 
which  the  ^stream  did  beat  ve- 
hemently, and  immediately  it 
fell;  and  the  ''^ruin  of  that  house 
was  great.

2  And  a  certain  ^"'•"centurion's 
'^sen'ant,  who  Svas  dear  unto 
him,  was  sick,  and  ready  to  die. 

3  And  when  he  lieard  of  Je'.sus, 
^'  ^he  sent  unto  him  the  elders  of 
the  Jew.s,  beseeching  him  that  he 
would  come  and  heal  his  ''serv- 
ant. 

4  And  when  they  came  to 
Je'sus,  they  ^besought  him  in- 
stantly, saying.  That  ^he  was 
worthy  for  whom  he  should  do 
this: 

5  For  '^he  lovctli  our  nation,  and 
he  "'hath  built  us  a  ''synagogue. 

6  Then  Je'.sus  went  with  them. 
And  Avhen  he  was  now  not  far 
from  the  house,  the  ^centurion 
sent  friends  to  him,  saying  unto 
him,  Lord,  trouble  not  thyself: 
for  "I  am  not  worthy  that  thou 
shouldest  enter  umler  my  roof: 

7  Wherefore  "neither  thought 
I  myself  worthy  to  come  unto 
thee:  but  *say  in  a  word,  and 
my  ''servant  shall  })e  healed. 

8  For  I  also  am  a  man  set  under 
authority,  having  under  me  sol- 
diers, and  I  say  unto  one.  Go, 
and  he  goeth;  and  to  another. 
Come,  and  he  cometh;  and  to 
my  servant,  Do  this,  and  he  do- 
eth  it. 

9  When  Je'sus  heard  these 
things,  he  marvelled  at  him,  and 
turned  him  about,  and  said  unto 
the  people  that  followed  him,  I 
say  unto  you,  I  have  not  found 
so  great  ^'faith,  no,  not  in  Is'- 
ra-el. 

10  x\nd  they  that  were  sent,  re- 
turning to  the  house,  found  the 
servant  ^whole  that  had  been 
sick. 

11  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
day  after,  that  he  went  into  a 
city  called  Na'in;  and  many  of 
his  'disciples  went  with  him,  and 
much  people. 

12  Now  when  he  came  nigh 
to  the  gate  of  the  city,  behold, 
there  was  a  ''dead  man  carried 


out,  the  only  son  of  his  mother, 
and  she  was  a  *widow:  and  much 
people  of  the  city  was  with  her. 

13  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her, 
he  had  'compassion  on  her,  and 
"said  unto  her,  Weep  not. 

14  And  he  came  and  touched 
the  *'bier:  and  they  that  bare 
liim  stood  still.  And  he  said, 
Young  man,  I  say  unto  thee, 
Arise. 

lo  And  he  tliat  was  Mead  ^'sat 
up,  and  began  to  speak.  And  he 
tlclivercd  him  to  his  mother. 

IG  And  there  came  a  fear  on 
all:  and  they  '"■^glorified  God, 
saying.  That  a  great  ''proj)het  is 
risen  up  among  us;  and.  That 
God  hath  visited  his  people. 

17  And  this  ^rumour  of  him 
went  forth  throughout  all  "Ju- 
dse'a,  and  throughout  all  the  re- 
gion round  about. 

18  t  ^A.nd  the  ''disciples  of 
''John  shewed  him  of  all  these 
things. 

19  And  ''John  calling  unio  him 
two  of  his  '^disciples  sent  them 
to  ^Je'sus,  saying.  Art  thou  '^•^he 
that  should  come  ?  or  look  we 
for  another  ? 

20  When  the  men  were  come 
unto  him,  they  said,  ''John  Bap'- 
tist  hath  sent  us  unto  thee,  say- 
ing, Art  thou  "'^he  that  should 
come  ?  or  'look  we  for  another  ? 

21  And  in  that  same  hour  he 
^cured  many  of  their  infirmities 
and  plagues,  and  of  evil  spirits; 
and  unto  many  tliat  icere  blind 
he  "gave  sight. 

22  Then  Je'sus  answering  said 
unto  them,  Go  your  way,  and 
tell  ''John  what  ''things  ye  have 
seen  and  heard;  how  that  the 
'blind  see,  the  'lame  walk,  the 
^lepers  are  cleansed,  the  'deaf 
hear,  the  "'dead  are  raised,  to  the 
poor  the  "gospel  is  "preached.

of  '^John  were  departed,  he  be- 
gan to  speak  unto  the  people 
concerning  John,  What  went  ye 
out  into  the  wilderness  for  to  see  ? 
A  reed  shaken  with  the  wind  ? 

25  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see  ?  A  man  clothed  in  soft  rai- 
ment ?  Behold,  they  which  are 
gorgeously  apparelled,  and  live 
delicately,  are  in  kings'  courts. 

26  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see?  A  ^prophet?  Yea,  I  say 
unto  you,  and  much  more  than 
a  prophet. 

27  This  is  he,  of  whom  it  is  writ- 
ten, ^•''Behold,  I  send  my  *mes- 
senger  before  thy  face,  which 
shall  prepare  thy  way  before 
thee. 

28  For  I  say  unto  you.  Among 
those  that  are  born  of  women 
there  is  not  a  greater  *•  ^prophet 
than  '^John  the  Bap'tist:  but  he 
that  is  ^least  in  the  kingdom  of 
God  is  greater  than  he. 

29  And  all  the  people  that  heard 
him,  and  the  'publicans,  justified 
God,  being  baptized  with  the 
"baptism  of  John. 

30  But  the  Phar'i-see.s  and 
lawyers  rejected  the  counsel  of 
God  against  themselves,  ^being 
not  baptized  of  him. 

31  Tf  And  the  Lord  said, 
"'"Wliereunto  then  shall  I  liken 
the  men  of  this  generation  ?  and 
to  what  are  they  like  ? 

32  They  are  like  unto  ^children 
sitting  in  the  marketplace,  and 
calling  one  to  another,  and  say- 
ing. We  have  piped  unto  you, 
and  ye  have  not  danced;  we  have 
^mourned  to  you,  and  ye  have 
not  wept. 

33  For  ^John  the  B&p'tist  came 
^•''neither  eating  bread  ''nor 
drinking  wine;  and  ye  "^say,  lie 
hath  a  devil. 

34  The  ''Son  of  man  is  come 
eating   and    drinking;    and   ye 


c.e./.ffgg^y^  Behold  a  ''gluttonous 
man,  and  a  Vinebibber,  a  friend 
of  ^publicans  and  sinners! 

35  But  '^wisdom  is  justified  of 
all  her  children. 

36  T[  And  one  of  the  ^Fhar'i- 
sees  "'desired  him  that  he  would 
eat  with  him.  And  hs  went  into 
the  Phar'i-see's  house,  and  sat 
down  to  meat. 

37  And,  behold,  a  woman  in 
the  city,  which  was  a  sinner, 
when  she  knew  that  Je'ms  sat  at 
meat  in  the  'Phar'i-see's  house, 
brought  an  '^alabaster  "box  of 
'^ointment, 

38  And  ^stood  at  his  feet  be- 
hind him  ''weeping,  and  began  to 
^wash  his  *feet  with  tears,  and 
did  wipe  them  with  the  hairs  of 
her  head,  and  'kissed  his  feet, 
and  "anointed  them  with  the 
^ointment. 

39  Now  when  the  ^Phai'^i-see 
which  had  "'bidden  him  saw 
it,  he  "•"'spake  within  himself, 
saying.  This  man,  if  he  were  a 
prophet,  would  have  known  who 
and  what  manner  of  woman  this 
is  that  toucheth  him :  for  she  is  a 
sinner. 

40  And  Je'sus  answering  said 
unto  him,  Si'mon,  I  have  some- 
what to  say  unto  thee.  And  he 
saith,  Master,  say  on. 

41  ^There  was  a  certain  ^'  ^'cred- 
itor  which  had  two  *debtors:  the 
one  owed  five  hundred  ^^ence, 
anfl  the  other  fifty. 

42  And  when  they  had  nothing 
to  pay,  ^he  frankly  forgave  them 
both.  Tell  me  therefore,  which 
of  them  will  "love  him  most  ? 

43  Si'mon  answered  and  said,  I 
suppose  that  he,  to  whom  he  for- 
gave most.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Thou  hast  rightly  judged. 

44  And  he  turned  to  the  wom- 
an, and  said  unto  Si'mon,  Seest 
thou  this  woman?  I  entered  into

CHAPTER  8 

Women  minister  unto  Jesus  of  their  sub- 
stance. 4  The  paralHc  of  the  sower,  1 1 
and  its  exposition.  16  A  candle  not  to  be 
put  under  a  busltel.  19  Jesus'  true  dis- 
ciples are  his  nearest  relatives.  22  He 
stills  a  tempest;  20  arid  casts  out  the  legion 
of  devils,  33  which  enter  into  a  herd  of 
sivine.  41  J  aims  entreats  him.  43  He 
heals  an  issue  of  blood;  49  and  raises  the 
daughter  of  J  aims. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  afterward, 
that  "he  went  throughout 
every  city  and  village,  *'''p reach- 
ing and  shewing  the  '^glad  tid- 
ings of  the  ''kingdom  of  God: 
and  the  ''twelve  were  with  him, 

2  And  certain  ''women,  which 
had  been  ''healed  of  *evil  spirits 
and  'infirmities,  '^Ma'ry  called 
Mag-da-le'ne,  out  of  whom  went 
seven  d(!vils, 

3  And  Mo-iin'na  the  wife  of 
Chu'za  Her'od's  steward,   and| 


Sii-.san'na,  and  many  others, 
which  "'•"ministered  unto  him 
of  tlieir  substance. 

4  ^f  And  when  much  people 
were  gathered  together,  and 
were  come  to  him  out  of  every 
city,  he  "'"spake  by  a  Sparable: 

5  A  '■'*sower  went  out  to  'sow  his 
"'"seed:  and  as  he  sowed,  some 
fell  by  the  way  side;  and  it  was 
trodden  down,  and  the  fowls  of 
the  air  devoured  it. 

6  And  some  fell  upon  a  rock; 
and  as  soon  as  it  was  sprung  up, 
it  "''^withered  away,  because  it 
lacked  moisture. 

7  And  some  fell  among  thorns; 
jind  tiie  thorns  sprang  up  with  it, 
and  ^choked  it. 

8  And  other  fell  on  good  ground, 
and  sprang  up,  and  bare  ^f  ruit  an 
hundredfold.  And  when  he  had 
said  these  things,  he  cried.  He 
that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him 
*hear. 

9  ^  And  his  "disciples  asked 
him,  saying.  What  might  this 
Sparable  be  ? 

10  And  he  said.  Unto  you  it  is 
given  to  know  the  '^mysteries  of 
the  '^kingdom  of  God:  but  to 
others  in  parables;  that  seeing 
they  might  ^'^not  see,  and  hear- 
ing they  might  not  understand. 

11  Now  the  Sparable  is  this: 
The  seed  is  the  ''•''•''word  of 
God. 

12  Those  by  the  way  side  are 
*they  that  hear;  then  cometh  the 
'devil,  and  ^taketh  away  the 
'''word  out  of  their  hearts,  lest 
they  should  believe  and  be 
saved. 

13  They  on  the  rock  are  they, 
which,  when  they  '^hear,  re- 
ceive the  ''•"•''word  with  joy;  and 
'these  have  '"no  root,  "which  for

unto  the  other  side  of  the  "lake. 
And  they  launched  forth. 

23  But  as  they  sailed  he  fell 
""asleep:  and  there  came  down  a 
^'^storm  of  wind  on  the  lake; 
and  they  were  filled  with  water, 
and  were  in  jeopardy. 

24  And  they  came  to  him,  and 
awoke  him,  ^saying,  "Master, 
master,  *we  perish.  Then  he 
arose,  and  rebuked  the  '^wind 
and  the  raging  of  the  water:  and 
they  ''■^ceased,  and  there  was  a 
'^calm. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Where  is  your  'faith  ?  And  they 
being  afraid  wondered,  saying 
one  to  another,  What  manner  of 
man  is  this !  for  he  commandeth 
even  the  winds  and  water,  and 
they  obey  him. 

26  ^  "And  they  arrived  at 
the  country  of  the  ''Gad'a-rene.s, 
which  is  over  against  '^GaFi-lee. 

27  And  when  he  went  forth  to 
land,  there  met  him  out  of  the 
city  a  certain  man,  which  had 
'devils  long  time,  and  ware  no 
clothes,  neither  abode  in  any 
house,  but  in  the  'tombs. 

28  When  he  saw  Je'.sus,  he  cried 
out,  and  fell  down  before  him, 
and  with  a  loud  voice  said,  W^hat 
have  I  to  do  with  thee,  Je^sus, 
Hho2i  Son  of  God  most  high  ?  I 
beseech  thee,  torment  me  not. 

29  (For  he  had  commanded 
the  'unclean  sjiirit  to  come  out  of 
the  man.  For  oftentimes  it  had 
caught  him:  and  he  was  kept 
bound  with  chains  and  in  fet- 
ters; and  he  brake  the  bands, 
and  was  driven  of  the  devil  into 
the  wilderness.) 

30  And  Je'sus  asked  him,  say- 
ing. What  is  thy  name  ?    And

he  said,  Legion:  because  many 
devils  were  entered  into  him. 

31  And  they  besought  him  that 
he  would  not  command  them  to 
go  out  into  the  deep. 

32  And  there  was  there  an  herd 
of  many  'swine  feeding  on  the 
mountain:  and  they  besought 
him  that  he  would  suffer  them 
to  enter  into  them.  And  he  suf- 
fered them. 

33  "Then  went  the  Mevils  out  of 
the  man,  and  entered  into  the 
'•'"swine:  and  the  herd  ran  vio- 
lently down  a  steep  place  into 
the  lake,  and  were  choked. 

34  When  they  that  fed  them 
saw  what  was  done,  they  fled, 
and  went  and  told  it  in  the  city 
and  in  the  country. 

35  Then  they  went  out  to  see 
what  was  done;  and  came  to 
Je'sus,  and  found  the  man,  out 
of  whom  the  Mevils  were  de- 
parted, sitting  at  the  feet  of  Je'- 
sus, clothed,  and  in  his  right 
mind:  and  they  were  afraid. 

36  They  also  which  saw  it  told 
them  by  what  means  he  that  was 
possessed  of  the  devils  was 
healed. 

37  \  Then  the  whole  multitude 
of  the  country  of  the  ^Gad'a- 
renes  round  about  "besought 
him  to  depart  from  them;  for 
they  were  taken  with  great  fear: 
and  he  went  up  into  '^the  ship, 
and  returned  back  again. 

38  Now  the  man  out  of  whom 
the  'devils  were  departed  "be- 
sought him  that  he  might  be 
with  him:  but  Je'.sus  sent  him 
away,  saying, 

30  Ileturn  to  thine  own  house, 
and  shew  how  great  things  God 
hath  done  unto  thee.  And  he 
went  his  way,  and  ^'-'^'published 
throughout  the  whole  city  how 
great  things  Je'sus  had  done  un- 
to him. 

40  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  '■Je'sus  was  returned,  the 

11 


people  gladly  *received  him:  for 
they  were  all  waiting  for  him. 

41  Tl  'And,  behold,  there  came 
a  man  named  Ja-i'rus,  and  he 
was  a  ruler  of  the  "synagogue: 
and  he  fell  down  at  Je'sus'  feet, 
and  "besought  him  that  he  would 
come  into  his  house: 

42  For  he  had  one  only  '"daugh- 
ter, about  twelve  years  of  age, 
and  she  lay  a  dying.  But  as  he 
went  the  people  thronged  him. 

43  T[  And  a  woman  having  an 
^issue  of  blood  twelve  years, 
which  had  spent  all  her  living 
upon  ^physicians,  neither  could 
be  healed  of  any, 

44  Came  behind  him,  and 
^touched  the  border  of  his  gar- 
ment: and  immediately  her  "is- 
sue of  blood  ''stanched. 

45  And  Je'sus  said.  Who 
touched  me  ?  When  all  denied, 
'^Pe'ter  and  they  that  were  with 
him  "^said.  Master,  the  multitude 
throng  thee  and  press  thee,  ®and 
sayest  thou.  Who  touched  me? 

46  And  Je'.sus  said,  Somebody 
hath  touched  me:  for  I  perceive 
that  ''virtue  is  gone  out  of  me. 

47  And  when  the  woman  saw 
that  she  was  not  hid,  she  came 
trembling,  and  falling  down  be- 
fore him,  she  declared  unto  him 
before  all  the  people  for  what 
cause  she  had  touched  him,  and 
how  she  was  "healed  immedi- 
ately. 

48  And  he  *said  unto  her. 
Daughter,  ^be  of  good  comfort: 
thy  'faith  hath  made  thee  whole;

His  charge  to  them.  7  Herod  desires  to 
see  Jesus.  10  The  twelve  return.  12 
With  five  loa  ves  n  nd  two  fishes  Jesus  feeds 
five  thousand  men.  18  What  the  people 
think  of  Jesus;  20  and  Peter's  confession 
of  him.  22  Jesus  foretells  his  own  death 
and  resurrection.  23  2'hose  ivho  follow 
him  must  take  up  their  cross.  28  The 
transfiguration.  37  Jesus  casts  out  an 
unclean  spirit:  43  and  again  foretells  his 
own  death.  46  He  exhorts  his  disciples 
to  humility;  49  and  not  to  reject  those  who 
are  not  against  them.  51  James  and 
.John  are  rebuked.  57  How  Jesus  must  be 
followed. 

THEN  he  called  his  twelve  dis- 
ciples together,  and  "gave 
''them  power  and  authority  over 
all  Mevils,  and  to  ''cure  Miseases. 

2  And  he  .sent  *'^them  to 
^preach  the  ''kingdom  of  God, 
and  to  ''heal  the  *sick. 

3  And  he  said  unto  'them, 
'Take  nothing  for  your  journey, 
neither  'staves,  nor  scrip,  neither 
bread,  neitlier  'money;  neither 
have  two  coats  apiece. 

4  And  ''^whatsoever  house  'ye 
enter  into,  there  abide,  and 
thence  depart. 

5  And  "'■"'"whosoever  will  not 
receive  you,  when  ye  go  out  of 
that  city,  shake  off  the  very  dust 
from  your  feet  for  a  testimony 
against  them. 


G  And  ''they  departed,  and  went 
through  the  towns,  ^'preaching 
the  ^gospel,  and  ''healing  every 
where. 

7  T[  Now  *Her'od  the  tetrarch 
heard  of  all  that  was  done  by 
him:  and  he  was  '^perplexed,  be- 
cause that  it  was  said  of  some, 
that  *John  was  ^risen  from  the 
dead; 

8  And  of  some,  that  "fi-lfas 
had  appeared;  and  of  others, 
that  one  of  the  old  ^'prophets 
was  risen  again. 

9  And  ^Her'od  said,  *  John  have 
I  "''^beheaded:  but  who  is  this, 
of  whom  I  hear  such  things  ? 
And  he  desired  to  see  him. 

10  T[  And  the  ^apostles,  when 
they  were  returned,  told  him  all 
that  they  had  done.  And  he  took 
them,  and  went  aside  privately 
into  a  desert  place  belonging  to 
the  city  called  ^Beth-sa'i-da. 

11  And  the  people,  when  they 
knew  if,  ''•''followed  him:  and  he 
received  them,  and  ''■''spake  unto 
them  of  the  ^kingdom  of  God, 
and  ''healed  them  that  had  need 
of  healing. 

12  ^  And  ''when  the  day  began 
to  wear  away,  then  came  the 
twelve,  and  said  unto  him,  Send 
the  multitude  away,  that  they 
may  go  into  the  towns  and  coun- 
try round  about,  and  lodge,  and 
get  victuals:  for  we  are  here  in  a 
desert  place. 

13  But  he  said  unto  them.  Give 
ye  them  to  eat.  And  they  said, 
AVe  have  no  more  but  five  ''loaves 
and  two  ^fishes;  except  we 
should  go  and  buy  ^meat  for  all 
this  people. 

14  For  they  were  about  five 
thousand  men.  And  he  said  to 
his  disciples.  Make  them  sit  down 
by  fifties  in  a  company. 

15  And  they  did  so,  and  made 
them  all  sit  down. 

16  Then  he  took  the  five  ''loaves 
and  the  two  ^fishes,  and  looking

27  But  *I  tell  you  of  a  truth, 
there  be  some  standing;  here, 
which  shall  not  taste  of  death, 
till  they  see  the  kingdom  of  God. 

28  *(f  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
an  eight  days  after  these  sayings, 
he  took  'Pe'ter  and  "John  and 
^ James,  and  went  up  into  a 
'"mountain  to   ^pray. 

29  And  as  he  Sprayed,  the  fash- 
ion of  his  ^countenance  was 
^altered,  and  his  raiment  was 
''white  and  glistering. 

30  And,  behold,  "there  talked 
with  him  two  men,  which  were 
<^:M5'.se.s  and  "K-h'as: 

31  Who  a]:)peared  in  glory,  and 
spake  of  his  decease  which  he 
should  accomplish  at  *Je-ru'sa- 
1cm. 

32  But  /Pe'ter  and  they  that 
were  with  him  were  heavy  with 
sleep:  and  when  they  were 
awake,  they  "saw  his  glory,  and 
the  ^''two  men  that  stood  with 
him. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
departed  from  him,  ^Pe'ter  said 
unto  Je'sus,  ]\Iaster,  it  is  good 
for  us  to  be  here:  and  let  us 
make  three  tabernacles;  one  for 
thee,  and  one  for  '^IVId'se.s,  and 
one  for  ''Ivll'as:  not  knowing 
what  he  said. 

31  While  he  thus  spake,  there 
came  a  ''cloud,  and  overshad- 
owed them:  and  they  feared  as 
they  entered  into  the  cloud. 

35  And  there  came  a  voice  out 
of  the  ''cloud,  saying,  This  is  hny 
^beloved  ^Son:  hear  him. 

3GAnd  when  the  voice  was  past, 
Je'sus  was  found  alone.  And 
they  kept  it  close,  and  told  no 
man  in  those  days  any  of  those 
things  which  they  had  seen. 

37  ^  'And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  that 
on  the  next  day,  wiien  they  were 
come  down  from  tlie  ^hill,  much 
])eople  met  him. 

38  And,  behold,  a  man  of  the

Master,  I  '"beseech  thee,  look 
upon  my  son:  for  he  is  mine  only 
child. 

39  And,  lo,  a  "spirit  taketh  him, 
and  he  suddenly  crieth  out;  and 
it  teareth  him  that  he  foameth 
again,  and  bruising;  him  hardlv 
dcpartcth  from  him. 

40  And  I  besought  thy  "disci- 
ples to  cast  him  out;  and  ^they 
could  not. 

41  And  Je'sus  answering  said, 
O  ^-''faithless  and  perverse  gen- 
eration, how  long  shall  I  be  with 
you,  and  suflfer  you  ?  Bring  thy 
son  hither. 

42  And  as  he  was  yet  a  coming, 
the  "devil  tiirew  him  down,  and 
tare  him.  And  Je'sus  rebuked 
the  unclean  spirit,  and  '^•^healed 
the  'child,  and  delivered  him 
again  to  his  father. 

43  ^  And  they  were  all  ^amazed 
at  the  mighty  power  of  God. 
But  while  they  wondered  every 
one  at  all  things  which  Je'sus 
did,  he  said  unto  his  "disciples, 

44  Let  these  sayings  sink  down 
into  your  ears:  for  "the  Son  of 
man  shall  be  delivered  into  the 
hands  of  men. 

45  But  they  understood  not 
this  saying,  and  it  was  hid  from 
them,  that  they  perceived  it  not: 
and  they  feared  to  ask  him  of 
that  saying. 

40^  "Then  there  arose  a  reason- 
ing among  "•"'them,  ^'  ^-Vhich  of 
them  should  be  greatest. 

47  And  Je'.sus,  "perceiving  the 
thought  of  their  heart,  took  a 
''child,  and  set  him  by  him, 

48  And  said  unto  them,  ''Who- 
soever shall  receive  this  *child 
in  my  name  '^receiveth  me:  and 
whosoever  shall  receive  me  *re- 
ceiveth  him  that  sent  me:  for  he 
that  is  ^least  among  you  all,  "the 
same  shall  be  great. 

49  ''And  * J6hn  answered  and 


said.  Master,  we  saw  one  casting 
out  'devils  in  thy  name;  and  we 
^■'forbad  hira,  because  he  fol- 
loweth  not  with  us. 

50  And  Je'.sus  said  unto  him, 
'"'"Forbid  him  not:  for  he  that  is 
not  against  ^us  is  for  us. 

51  ^  "And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  time  was  come  that  he 
should  be  received  up,  ^-^he  sted- 
fastly  set  his  face  to  go  to  ''Jc- 
rii'sa-lem, 

52  And  sent  messengers  before 
his  face:  and  they  went,  and  en- 
tered into  a  village  of  the  *Sa- 
mir'K-tans,  to  make  ready  for 
him. 

53  And  they  *did  not  receive 
Miim,  because  his  face  was  as 
though  he  would  go  to  'Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. 

54  And  when  his  "disciples 
"Jame.s  and  *  John  saw  this,  they 
"'•^•^said.  Lord,  ^vilt  thou  that 
we  command  fire  to  come  down 
from  heaven,  and  consume  them, 
^even  as  E-li'as  did  ? 

55  But  he  turned,  and  "rebuked 
ihem,  ''and  said,  Ye  know  not 
what  manner  of  spirit  ye  are  of. 

56  ^Tor  the  Son  of  man  is  not 
come  to  destroy  men's  lives,  but 
*to  ''save  them.  And  they  went  to 
another  village. 

57  T[  '^And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
as  they  went  in  the  way,  a  cer- 
tain man  *said  unto  him.  Lord,  I 
will  follow  thee  whithersoever 
thou  goest. 

58  And  Je'.sus  said  unto  him, 
^Foxes  have  holes,  and  "birds  of 
the  air  have  nests;  but  the  Son  of 
man  hath  not  where  to  lay  his 
head. 

59  And  he  said  unto  another, 
''■Tollow  me.  But  he  '-^said, 
Lord,  'suffer  me  first  to  go  and 
bury  my  father.

and  ^scorpion,?,  and  over  all  the 
power  of  the  enemy:  and  noth- 
ing shall  by  any  means  hurt  you. 

20  Notwithstanding  in  this  re- 
joice not,  that  the  spirits  are  sub- 
ject unto  you;  but  rather  re- 
joice, because  *your  names  are 
"^Avritten  in  ''heaven. 

21  T[  '^In  that  hour  Je'sus  re- 
joiced in  ^spirit,  and  said,  I 
thank  thee,  O  ^Father,  ^Lord 
of  heaven  and  earth,  that  thou 
hast  hid  these  things  from  the 
''wise  and  prudent,  and  hast  re- 
vealed them  unto  '■■'babes:  even 
so,  Father;  for  so  it  seemed  good 
in  thy  sight. 

22  All  things  are  delivered  to 
^'me  of  my  ''Father:  and  no  man 
knoweth  who  the  'Son  is,  but  the 
Father;  and  who  the  Father  is, 
but  the  '"Son,  and  he  to  whom 
the  Son  will  reveal  him. 

23  T[  And  he  turned  him  unto 
his  "disciples,  and  said  private- 
ly. Blessed  are  the  "eyes  which 
''see  the  ^things  that  ye  see: 

24  ''For  I  tell  you,  that  many 
prophets  and  kings  have  *de- 
sired  to  see  those  things  which  ye 
see,  and  have  not  seen  them;  and 
to  hear  those  things  Avhich  ye 
hear,  and  have  not  heard  them. 

25  Tf  'x\nd,  behold,  a  certain 
"lawyer  stood  up,  and  tempted 
him,  saying.  Master,  what  shall 
I  do  to  inherit  eternal  ^'life  ? 

26  He  said  unto  him,  What  is 
written  in  the  '"law  ?  how  readest 
thou  ? 

27  And  he  answering  said, 
^•^'Thou  shalt  ^-"love  the  Lord

with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy 
strength,  and  with  all  thy  mind; 
and  ^'''•'^•^•/thy  ■'"neighbour  as 
thyself. 

28  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thou 
hast  answered  right:  this  "do, 
and  ''thou  shalt  live. 

29  But  'he,  willing  to  justify 
himself,  said  unto  Je'.sus,  And 
who  is  my  ■'■neighbour  ? 

30  And  Je'sus  answering  ^said, 
A  certain  7nan  went  down 
from  ^Je-ru'sa-lem  to  'Jer'i-chd, 
and  fell  among  '"thieves,  which 
"stripped  "him  of  his  raiment, 
and  wounded  him,  and  de- 
parted, leaving  him  half  dead. 

31  And  by  chance  there  came 
down  a  certain  Spriest  that  way: 
*and  when  he  saw  "him,  he 
passed  by  on  the  other  side. 

32  And  likewise  a  ''Le'vite, 
when  he  was  at  the  place,  ^came 
and  looked  OJi  "Jtim,  and  passed 
by  on  the  other  side. 

33  But  a  certain  *Sa-mar'i-tan, 
as  he  journeyed,  came  where  he 
was:  and  when  he  saw  "him,  he 
had  'compassion  on  him, 

34  And  'went  to  hiin,  and 
bound  up  his  "wounds,  "pouring 
in  '*'oil  and  wine,  and  set  him  on 
his  own  beast,  and  brought  him 
to  an  inn,  and  took  care  of  him. 

35  And  on  the  morrow  when  he 
departed,  he  took  out  two  ^pence, 
and  ^gave  them  to  the  host,  and 
"•'said  unto  him.  Take  care  of 
him;  and  whatsoever  thou  sj)end- 
est  more,  when  I  come  again,  I 
will  repay  thee. 

36  Which  now  of  these  three, 
thinkest  thou,  was  ^neighbour 
unto  "him  that  fell  among  the 
'"thieves  ?

efficacy  nf  prayer.  14  tic  heals  a  dumb

and  denounces  woes  upon  litem.  49  The 
blood  of  all  the  prophets  to  come  upon  this 
generation. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
he  was  "praying  in  a  cer- 
tain place,  when  he  ceased,  one 


of  his  ''disciples  said  unto  him, 
Lord,  teach  us  to  pray,  as  '^John 
also  taught  his  disciples. 

2  And  Mie  said  unto  them, 
'^When  ye  ''pray,  say,  Our  ^Fa- 
ther which  art  in  ''heaven.  Hal- 
lowed be  thy  ''name.  ^Thy  'king- 
dom come.  *Thy  *will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  in  earth. 

3  Give  us  day  by  day  our  daily 
'bread. 

4  And  '"forgive  us  our  sins;  for 
we  also  "forgive  every  one  that  is 
indebted  to  us.  And  ^lead  us  not 
into  *temptation;  ^but  deliver  us 
from  evil. 

5  And  he  "said  unto  them. 
Which  of  you  shall  have  a  friend, 
and  shall  go  unto  him  at  mid- 
night, and  say  unto  him.  Friend, 
lend  me  three  loaves; 

6  For  a  friend  of  mine  m  his 
journey  is  come  to  me,  and  I 
have  nothing  to  set  before  him  ? 

7  And  he  from  within  shall  an- 
swer and  say.  Trouble  me  not: 
the  door  is  now  shut,  and  my 
children  are  with  me  in  bed;  I 
cannot  rise  and  give  thee. 

8  I  say  unto  you.  Though  he 
will  not  rise  and  give  him,  be- 
cau.se  he  is  his  friend,  yet  be- 
cause of  his  importunity  he  will 
rise  and  give  him  as  many  as  he 
needeth. 

9  And  I  say  unto  you,  ^-^Ask, 
and    ''•"it   shall    be    given   you;

you. 

10  '■■*For  every  one  that  *asketh 
receiveth;  and  'he  that  seeketh 
findeth;  and  to  him  that  knock- 
eth  it  shall  be  opened. 

11  If  a  son  shall  ask  bread  of 
any  of  you  that  is  a  "father, 
will  he  give  him  a  stone  ?  or  if  he 
ask  a  fish,  will  he  for  a  fish  give 
him  a  serpent  ? 

12  Or  if  he  shall  ask  an  egg, 
will  he  offer  him  a  "scorpion  ? 

13  If  "'ye  then,  being  evil,  know 
how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your 
children:  *how  much  more  shall 
ijoiir  heavenly  ^Father  give  the 
^Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask 
him  ? 

14  Tl  ^And  he  was  "casting  out  a 
*devil,  and  it  was  dumb.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  the  devil  was 
gone  out,  the  dumb  spake;  and 
the  people  wondered. 

15  But  ""some  of  them  ''■''•^said, 
He  casteth  out  devils  through 
''■''Be-el'ze-bub  the  chief  of  the 
devils. 

16  *And  others,  tempting  him, 
sought  of  him  a  sign  from 
heaven. 

17  But  he,  knowing  their 
thoughts,  said  unto  them.  Every 
kingdom  ^divided  against  itself 
is  brought  to  desolation;  and  a 
house  divided  against  a  house 
falleth. 

18  If  ^Sa'tan  also  be  divided 
against  himself,  how  shall  his 
kingdom  stand  ?  because  ye  '^say 
that  I  cast  out  devils  through 
"Be-el'ze-bub. 

19  And  if  I  by  "Be-el'ze-biib 
cast  out  devils,  by  whom  do  your 
sons  cast  them  out  ?  therefore 
shall  they  be  your  judges. 


20  But  if  I  with  the  finger  of 
'God  "cast  out  *devils,  no  doubt 
the  '"kingdom  of  God  is  come 
upon   you. 

21  When  *a  strong  man  armed 
keepeth  his  palace,  his  goods  are 
in  peace: 

22  But  when  a  stronger  than 
he  shall  come  upon  him,  and 
overcome  him,  he  taketh  from 
him  all  his  armour  wherein  he 
trusted,  and  divideth  his  spoils. 

23  "He  that  is  not  with  me  is 
against  me:  and  he  that  gather- 
eth  not  with  me  scattereth. 

24  When  the  *•  "unclean  spirit  is 
gone  out  of  a  man,  he  walketh 
through  dry  places,  seeking  rest ; 
and  finding  none,  he  saith,  I  will 
return  unto  my  house  whence  I 
came  out. 

25  And  when  he  cometh,  he 
findeth  it  swept  and  garnished. 

26  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh 
to  him  seven  other  spirits  more 
wicked  than  himself;  and  they 
enter  in,  and  dwell  there:  and 
the  ^last  state  of  that  ^man  is 
worse  than  the  first. 

27  f  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he  spake  these  things,  a  certain 
woman  of  the  company  lifted 
up  her  voice,  and  said  unto  him, 
Blessed  is  the  womb  that  bare 
thee,  and  the  paps  which  thou 
hast  sucked. 

28  But  he  said,  Yea  rather, 
'■'^blessed  are  they  that  hear  the 
'•"word  of  God,  and  "-"'keep  it. 

29  T[  And  when  the  people  were 
gathered  thick  together,  he  be- 
gan to  say.  This  is  an  evil  gen- 
eration: they  seek  a  ^sign;  and 
there  shall  no  sign  be  given  it, 
but  the  sign  of  ^J5'nas  the 
prophet.

34  ^The  ^-^light  of  the  body  is

unto  them,  the  ''scribes  and  the

Jesus  warns  his  disciples  of  the  leaven  of  the

The  people  warned  against  covelousness. 
16  The  parable  of  the  rich  man  who  would 
build  greater  barns.  22  Anxiety  about 
worldly  tilings  forbidden.  31  The  king- 
dom of  God  to  be  first  sought.  35  The 
duty  of  watchfulness.  49  The  coming  of 
Jesus  an  occasion  of  division.  54  Ttie 
signs  of  the  times  to  be  regarded. 

IN  the  mean  time,  when  "there 
were  gathered  together  an 
innumerable  multitude  of  peo- 
ple, insomuch  that  they  trode 
one  upon  another,  he  began  to 
say  unto  his  ^disciples  first  of 
all,  "•'^'''Beware  ye  of  the  ''"leaven 
of  the  ^Phar'i-sees,  which  is  hy- 
pocrisy. 

2  For  '^there  is  'nothing  cov- 
ered, that  shall  not  be  revealed; 
neither  hid,  that  shall  not  be 
known.

which  ye  have  spoken  in  the  ear

4  And  I  say  unto  you  my 
friends,  '•"'Be  not  afraid  of  them 
that  kill  the  body,  and  after  that 
have  no  more  that  they  can  do. 

5  But  I  will  forewarn  you  whom 
ye  shall  fear:  "Fear  "him,  which 
after  he  hath  killed  hath  power

you,  Fear  him. 

6  ''•*Are  not  five  'sparrows  sold

them  is  forgotten  before  "God  ? 

7  But  ''even  the  very  hairs  of 
your  head  are  all  numbered. 
*Fear  not  therefore:  "ye  are  of 
more  value  than  many  sparrows. 

8  Also  I  say  unto  you,  ^-  ^'  ^Who- 
soever shall  *• 'confess  me  before

12  For  ''•^the  "Holy  Ghost 
shall  ''teach  you  in  the  same  hour 
*\vhat  ye  ought  to  say. 

13  T[  And  one  of  the  company 
said  unto  him,  Master,  speak  to 
my  brother,  that  he  divide  the 
inheritance  with  me. 

14  And  he  said  unto  him,  Man, 
who  made  me  a  judge  or  a  di- 
vider over  you  ? 

15  And  he  said  unto  them, 
'Take  heed,  and  "'"beware  of 
covetousncss:  for  a  man's  life 
consisteth  not  in  the  ""abun- 
dance of  the  things  which  he 
possesseth. 

16  And  he  spake  a  Sparable 
unto  them,  saying,  The  ground 
of  a  certain  ^rich  man  brought 
forth  plentifully: 

17  And  he  "^thought  within  him- 
self, saying,  What  shall  I  do,  be- 
cause I  have  no  room  where  to 
bestow  my  fruits  ? 

18  And  he  said.  This  will  I 
do:  ^I  will  pull  down  my  ''barns, 
and  build  greater;  and  there  will 
I  bestow  all  my  fruits  and  my 
goods. 

19  And  I  will  *say  to  my  soul, 
Soul,  '^thou  hast  much  '^goods 
laid  up  for  many  years;  ''take 
thine  ease,  ''eat,  'drink,  and  "he 
merry. 

20  But  God  said  unto  him, 
Thmi  fool,  ''this  night  thy  soul 
shall  be  ^required  of  thee:  then 
whose  shall  those  things  be, 
which  thou  hast  provided  ? 

21  So  is  he  that  layeth  up  treas- 
ure 'for  himself,  and  is  not  *rich 
toward  God. 

22  ^  And  he  said  unto  his  ^dis- 
ciples. Therefore  I  say  unto  you, 
^'•'"■"•''Take  no  ^thought  for  your 
life,  what  ye  shall  eat;  neither 
for  the  body,  what  ye  shall  put 
on. 

23  The  life  is  more  than  meat, 


and  the  body  i?  more  than  rai- 
ment. 

24  Consider  the  ^ravens:  for 
they  neither  sow  nor  reap;  which 
neither  have  storehouse  nor  barn ; 
and  God  ''•'feedeth  them:  how 
much  more  are  ye  better  than 
the  fowls? 

25  And  v/hich  of  you  ^with  tak- 
ing ^thought  can  add  to  his  stat- 
ure one  'cubit  ? 

2G  If  ye  then  be  not  able  to  do 
that  thing  which  is  least,  why 
Hake  ye  ^thought  for  the  rest  ? 

27  Consider  the  "lilies  how  they 
grow:  they  toil  not,  they  spin 
not;  and  yet  I  say  unto  you,  that 
"Sol'o-mon  in  all  his  glory  was 
not  arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

28  If  then  God  so  'clothe  the 
"'grass,  which  is  to  day  in  the 
field,  and  to  morrow  is  cast  into 
the  ^oven;  how  much  more  vnll 
fie  ''•'clothe  you,  O  ye  of  ^little 
faith  ? 

29  And  seek  not  ye  what  ye 
shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink, 
neither  be  ye  of  doubtful  mind. 

30  For  all  these  things  do  the 
nations  of  the  world  seek  after: 
and  your  ^Father  "knoweth  that 
ye  have  need  of  these  things. 

31  But  rather  *seek  ye  the 
''kingdom  of  God;  and  ''all  these 
things  shall  be  added  unto  you. 

32  ''Fear  not,  little  'flock;  for 
''it  is  your  Father's  good  pleas- 
ure to  give  you  the  "kingdom. 

33  ''-^Sell  that  ye  have,  and 
'•*''give  '"alms;  provide  your- 
selves bags  which  wax  not  old, 
"a  ^treasure  in  the  heavens  that 
faileth  not,  where  no  thief  ap- 
proacheth,  neither  moth  cor- 
rupteth. 

34  For  where  your  treasure  is, 
there  will  your  heart  be  also.

about,  and  your  lights  burning;

his  house  to  be  broken  through. 

40  Be  ye  thei'efore  ■'"ready  also: 
for  the  Son  of  man  "cometh  at  an 
hour  when  ye  think  not. 

41  ^  Then  ^Pe'ter  said  unto 
liim.  Lord,  speakest  thou  this 
''parable  unto  *us,  or  even  to 
^all  ? 

42  And  the  Lord  said,  ''•^Who 
then  is  that  'faithful  and  wise 
"•  ^steward,  whom  It  is  lord  *'^shall 
make  ruler  over  his  household,  to 
give  them  their  portion  of  meat 
in  due  season  ? 

43  Blessed  is  that  '^•^ervant, 
whom  his  lord  when  he  cometh 
shall  find  so  doing. 

44  Of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you, 
that  ^''he  will  make  ''•^im  ruler 
over  all  that  he  hath. 

45  But  and  if  that  ''•^servant 
'say  in  his  heart,  ]\Iy  lord  delay- 
eth  his  coming;  and  shall  begin 
to  '"beat  the  menservants  and 
maidens,  and  to  "eat  and  drink, 
and  to  be  "drunken; 

46  The  lord  of  that  servant  will 
come  in  a  da-\^  when  he  looketh 


not  for  him,  and  at  an  hour 
when  he  is  not  aware,  and  will 
^cut  him  in  sunder,  and  will  ap- 
point him  his  portion  with  the 
'unbelievers. 

47  And  that  servant,  which 
'■'•'"knewhis  lord's  will,  and  ■'■''pre- 
pared not  himself,  neither  did 
according  to  his  will,  shall  be 
"beaten  with  many  stripes. 

48  But  he  that  ^'"'knew  not,  and 
did  commit  things  worthy  of 
stripes,  shall  be  *•  "beaten  with 
few  stripes.  For  ''unto  whomso- 
ever much  is  given,  ^of  him  shall 
be  much  required:  and  to  whom 
men  have  committed  much,  of 
him  they  will  ask  the  more. 

49  T[  ^I  am  come  to  send  ^fire 
on  the  earth;  and  what  will  I,  if 
it  be  already  kindled  ? 

50  But  ''I  have  a  ''•''baptism  to 
be  baptized  with;  and  how  am 
I  straitened  till  it  be  accom- 
plished ! 

51  '^Suppose  ye  that  I  am  come 
to  give  ''peace  on  earth  ?  I  tell 
you.  Nay;  but  rather  ''division: 

52  For  from  henceforth  there 
shall  be  five  in  one  house  di- 
vided, three  against  two,  and 
two  against  three. 

53  "The  father  shall  be  divided 
against  the  son,  and  the  son 
against  the  father;  the  mother 
against  the  daughter,  and  the 
daughter  against  the  mother; 
the  mother  in  law  against  her 
daughter  in  law,  and  the  daugh- 
ter in  law  against  her  mother  in 
law. 

54  ^  ^And  he  said  also  to  the 
people,  When  ye  see  a  *• 'cloud 
rise  out  of  the  west,  straight- 
way ye  say,  There  cometh  a 
''^shower;  and  so  it  is. 

55  And  when  ye  see  the  south 
'''wind  blow,  ye  say,  There  will 
be  heat;  and  it  cometh  to  pass.

CHAPTER  13 

The  slaughter  of  certain  Galileans.  6  The 
parable  of  the  barren  fig  tree.  10  Jesus 
heals  an  infirm  woman.  18  The  king- 
dom of  God  is  like  a  grain  of  mustard  seed; 
20  and  like  leaven.  23  The  strait  gate. 
41  Jesus'  message  to  Herod.  34  His 
lamentation  over  Jerusalem. 

THERE  were  present  at  that 
season  some  that  told  him 
of  the  "Gal-i-lffi'ans,  whose  blood 
*Pl'late  had  mingled  with  their 
sacrifices. 

2  And  Je'.sus  answering  said 
unto  them.  Suppose  ye  that  these 
"Gal-i-l{ie'an.2  were  sinners  above 
all  the  Gal-I-lffi'ans,  because  they 
suffered  such  things? 

3  I  tell  you.  Nay:  but,  ''■'^except 
ye  '^repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise 
''perish. 

4  Or  those  eighteen,  upon 
whom  the  tower  in  "Si-lo'am 
fell,  and  slew  them,  think  ye  that 
they  were  ^sinners  above  all  men 
that  dwelt  in  '*Je-ru'sa-l6m  ? 

5  I  tell  you.  Nay:  Init,  ''•'^except 
ye  ^repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise 
'peri.sh. 

6  1  He  spake  also  this  'parable; 
A  certain  man  had  a  *fig  tree 
planted  in  his  'vineyard;  ^and  he 
came  and  sought  'fruit  '"thereon, 
and  found  "'"none. 


7  Then  said  he  unto  tlie  dresser 
of  his  ^-ineyard.  Behold,  these 
^' "three  years  I  come  seeking 
'fruit  on  this  *fig  tree,  and  find 
none:  ^•''•'■'cut  it  down;  why 
cumbereth  it  the  g-round  ? 

8  And  ''he  answering  "said  unto 
him.  Lord,  ^-^let  it  alone  this 
year  also,  till  I  shall  dig  about 
it,  and  dung  it: 

9  And  if  it  bear  'fruit,  well:  and 
if  not,  then  after  "that  thou  shalt 
''■'■'*• 'cut  it  down. 

10  ^  And  he  was  '"-  ^teaching  in 
one  of  the  ^synagogues  on  the 
^sabbath. 

11  And,  behold,  there  was  a 
woman  which  had  a  spirit  of  "in- 
firmity eighteen  years,  and  was 
bowed  together,  and  could  in  no 
wise  lift  up  herself. 

12  And  when  Je'sus  saw  her,  ''he 
called  her  to  him,  and  said  unto 
her.  Woman,  thou  art  loosed 
from  thine  '^infirmity. 

13  And  he  laid  his  hands  on  her: 
and  immediately  she  was  '^•''made 
straight,  and  '^•'glorified  God. 

14  And  the  ruler  of  the  "syna- 
gogue answered  with  indigna- 
tion, because  that  Je'sus  had 
''healed  on  the  ^sabbath  day,  and 
said  unto  the  poeple,  'There  are 
six  days  in  which  men  ought  to 
•'work:  in  them  therefore  come 
and  be  healed,  and  not  on  the 
sabbath  day. 

15  The  Lord  then  answered 
him,  and  ^said,  ~Thou  'hypo- 
crite, doth  not  each  one  of  you 
on  the  sabbath  '"loose  his  ox  or 
his  ass  from  the  stall,  and  lead 
him  away  to  watering  ? 

16  And  ought  not  this  woman, 
being  a  daughter  of  '*A'br3,-ham, 
whom  "Saltan  hath  ^bound,  lo, 
these  eighteen  years,  be  loosed 
from  this  bond  on  the  '^sabbath 
dav  ?

things,  all  his  adversaries  were 
ashamed:  and  'all  the  people  re- 
joiced for  all  the  glorious  things 
that  were  done  by  him. 

18  ^  Then  ''said  he,  Unto  what 
is  the  ^kingdom  of  God  like  ?  and 
whereunto  shall  I  resemble  it  ? 

19  *''It  is  like  a  grain  of  "mus-

cast  into  his  garden;  and  it  grew, 
and  waxed  a  great  tree;  and  the 
fowls  of  the  air  lodged  in  the 
branches  of  it. 

20  ^  And  again  he  'said,  Where- 
unto shall  I  hken  the  kingdom  of 
God? 

21  *''It  is  like  *'leaven,  which  a 
woman  took  and  hid  in  three 
measures  of  meal,  till  the  whole 
was  leavened. 

22  And  he  went  through  the 
cities  and  villages,  "'•  ^teaching, 
and  journeying  toward  ^Je-rii'- 
sa-lem. 

23  ^  Then  said  one  unto  him, 
Lord,  are  there  few  that  be 
saved  ?  And  he  said  unto  them, 

24  ^'"Strive  to  enter  in  at  the 
strait  gate:  for  many,  I  say  unto 
you,  will  seek  to  enter  in,  and 
shall  not  be  able. 

25  When  once  the  master  of  the 
house  is  risen  up,  and  hath  *shut 
to  the  '^door,  and  ye  begin  to 
stand  without,  and  to  knock  at 
the  door,  '^saying.  Lord,  Lord, 
open  unto  us;  and  he  shall  an- 
swer and  say  unto  you,  I  know 
'^you  not  whence  ye  are: 

26  Then  shall  ye  begin  to  'say, 
We  have  eaten  and  drunk  in  thy 
presence,  and  thou  hast  taught 
in  our  streets. 

27  But  he  shall  say,  I  tell  you,  I 
know  you  not  whence  ye  are; 
''•''depart  from  me,  all  ye  ^work- 
ers of  iniquity. 

28  There  sliall  be  Sveeping  and 
'gnashing  of  teeth,  when  ye  shall

the  "kingdom  of  God,  and  you 
yourselves  "■ '^thrust  out.

the  east,  and  from  the  west,  and

kingdom  of  God. 

30  And,  behold,  there  are  last 
which  shall  be  first,  and  there 
are  first  which  shall  be  last. 

31  Tf  The  same  day  there  came 
certain  of  the  *Phar'i-see§,  ''say- 
ing unto  him,  Get  thee  out,  and 
depart  hence:  for  *Her'od  will 
'kill  thee. 

32  And  he  said  unto  them.  Go 
ye,  and  tell  that  *'"fox,  Behold, 
'I  "'cast  out  ^devils,  and  I  do 
^cures  to  day  and  to  morrow, 
and  the  third  day  I  shall  be

33  Nevertheless  I  must  walk  to 
day,  and  to  morrow,  and  the  day 
following:  for  it  cannot  be  that

tain  man  before  him  which  had 
the  dropsy. 

3  And  Je'.sus  an.swering  spake 
unto  the  'hiwyers  and  "Phar'i- 
see.s,  sayinfi;,  Is  it  lawful  to  heal 
on  the  ''sabbath  day  ? 

■1  x\nd  they  held  their  peace. 
And  he  took  him,  and  '^' ^healed 
him,  and  let  him  go; 

5  And  answered  them,  saying, 
Which  of  you  shall  have  an  'ass 
or  an  ox  fallen  into  a  pit,  and 
will  not  straightway  pull  him 
out  on   the  sabbath   day  ? 

6  And  they  could  not  answer 
him  ao;ain  to  these  things. 

7  ^  And  he  put  forth  a  "par- 
able to  those  which  were  bid- 
den, when  he  marked  how  they 
*'Miose  out  the  chief  'rooms; 
saying  unto  them, 

8  When  Hhou  art  bidden  of 
any  man  to  a  ^' ^'wedding 


i,m„: 


sit 

not  down  in  the  ^highest  room; 
lest  a  more  honourable  man  than 
thou  be  bidden  of  him; 

9  And  he  that  bade  thee  and 
him  come  and  say  to  thee.  Give 
this  man  place;  and  thou  begin 
with  shame  to  take  the  lowest 
'room. 

10  But  ^vhen  thou  art  •'bidden, 
go  and  ''"sit  down  in  the  lowest 
room;  that  when  he  that  bade 
thee  Cometh,  he  niay  say  unto 
thee,  Friend,  go  up  higher:  then 
.shalt  thou  have  worshi|)  in  the 
presence  of  them  that  sit  at  meat 
with  thee, 

11  For  whosoever  *exalteth 
him.self  shall  be  abased;  and  he 
that  "hum!)!!'!!!  himself  shall  be 
exalted. 

12  ^  Then  said  he  also  to  him 
that  bade  him.  When  thou  mak- 
est  a  Minner  or  a  supper,  ''call 
not  thy  'friends,  nor  thy  breth- 


ren, neither  thy  kinsmen,  nor  thi) 
rich  neighbours;  k;st  they  also 
bid  thee  again,  and  a  recom- 
pence  be  made  thee. 

13  But  when  thou  makest  a 
^feast,  call  the  ''poor,  the  maimed, 
the  lame,  the  blind: 

14  And  *thou  'shalt  be  blessed; 
for  they  cannot  recompense  thee: 
for  thou  shalt  be  recompensed  at 
the  "resurrection  of  the  just. 

15  ^  And  when  one  of  them 
that  sat  at  meat  with  him  heard 
these  tilings,  he  said  unto  him, 
Blessed  is  he  that  shall  cat  bread 
in  the  ^'kingdom  of  God. 

16  "'Then  ''said  he  unto  him,  A 
certain  man  made  a  great  ^sup- 
per, and  "bade  many: 

17  And  sent  his  servant  at  sup- 
per time  to  say  to  them  that  were 
bidden,  Come;  for  all  things  are 
now  ready. 

18  And  they  all  with  one  con- 
sent began  to  make  "^excuse. 
The  first  ^said  unto  h.im,  I  have 
bought  a  piece  of  ground,  and 
I  must  needs  go  and  see  it:  ^I 
pray  thee  have  me  excused. 

19  And  another  ^'^said,  I  have 
bought  five  yoke  of  oxen,  and  I 
go  to  prove  them:  'I  pray  thee 
have  me  excused. 

20  And  anotlier  ^-'said,  I  have 
married  a  wii"(;,  and  ^therefore  1 
cannot  come. 

21  So  that  servant  came,  and 
shewed  his  lord  these  things. 
Then  the  master  of  the  house  be- 
ing angry  said  to  his  servant.  Go 
out  quickly  into  the  streets  and 
lanes  of  the  city,  and  "bring  in 
hither  the  ]K)or,and  the  maimed, 
and  the  halt,  and  the  blind. 

22  And  the  servant  said,  Lord,  it 
is  done  as  thou  hast  commanded 
and  yet  there  is  room.

may  be  filled. 

24  For  I  say  unto  you,  That

bidden  shall  taste  of  my  '^supper.

turned,  and  said  unto  them, 

26  ''■'If  any  "jnan  '^come  to  me, 
and  '^•'hate  not  his  father,  and 
mother,  and  wife,  and  children,

be  my  disciple. 

27  And  ^whosoever  doth  not 
bear  his  'cross,  and  come  after 
me,  cannot  be  my  disciple. 

28  For  which  of  you,  intending 
to  build  a  "'tower,  "sitteth  not 
down  first,  and  counteth  the 
cost,  whether  he  have  sufficient 
to  finish  it  ? 

29  "Lest  haply,  after  he  hath 
laid  the  foundation,  and  is  not 
able  to  finish  it,  all  that  behold  it 
begin  to  mock  him, 

30  Saying,  This  man  began

"war  against  another  king,  "sit-

ten  thousand  to  meet  him  that

CHAPTER  15 

The  parable  of  the  lost  sheep;  8  of  the  piece 
of  silver:  11  of  the  prodigal  son. 

THEN  "drew  near  unto  him 
all  the  ^publicans  and  sin- 
ners for  to  hear  him. 

2  And  the  ''PhSr'i-sees  and 
''scribes  ^-^murmured,  saying, 
This  man  "receiveth  sinners,  and 
eateth  with  them. 

3  T[  And  he  spake  this  'Sparable 
unto  them,  saying, 

4  '^■■'What  man  of  you,  having 
an  hundred  sheep,  if  he  lose  one 
of  them,  doth  not  leave  the  nine- 
ty and  nine  in  the  wilderness, 
and  go  after  that  which  is  lost, 
until  he  find  it  ? 

5  And  when  he  hath  found  it, 
'he  layeth  it  on  his  shoulders, 
rejoicing. 

6  And  when  he  cometh  home, 
he  calleth  together  his  friends 
and  neighbours,  saying  unto 
them.  Rejoice  with  me;  for  I 
have  found  my  sheep  which  was 
lost. 

7  I  say  unto  you,  that  like- 
wise *joy  shall  be  in  'heaven 
over  one  '"sinner  that  "repent- 
eth,  more  than  over  ninety  and 
nine  ^"just  persons,  which  need 
no  repentance. 

8  ^  '^Either  what  woman  having 
ten  pieces  of  silver,  if  she  lose 
one  piece,  doth  not  light  a  can- 
dle, and  sweep  the  house,  and 
seek  diligently  till  she  find  it  ? 

9  And  when  she  hath  found  it, 
she  calleth  her  friends  and  her 
neighbours  together,  saying.  Re- 
joice with  me;  for  I  have  found 
the  piece  which  I  had  lost. 

10  Likewise,  I  say  unto  you, 
there  is  *joy  in  the  presence  of 
the  ^angels  of  God  over  one  '"sin- 
ner that  '^repenteth.

said  to  his  father,  Father,  give 
me  the  portion  of  goods  that 
'falleth  io  me.  And  he  divided 
unto  them  his  hving. 

13  And  not  many  days  after 
the  younger  'son  gathered  all 
together,  and  took  his  journey 
into  a  far  country,  and  there 
wasted  his  substance  with  riot- 
ous living. 

14  And  when  he  had  spent  all, 
there  arose  a  mighty  ^famine  in 
that  land;  and  he  began  to  be  in 
want. 

15  And  he  went  and  joined 
'•"him.self  to  a  *citizen  of  that 
country;  and  he  sent  him  into 
his  fields  to  feed  "swine. 

IG  And  he  would  "'fain  have 
filled  his  belly  with  the  husks 
that  the  ''swine  did  eat:  and  no 
man  gave  unto  him. 

17  And  when^'  ^he  came  to  him- 
.self, he  said.  How  many  'hired 
servants  of  my  father's  ^have 
bread  enough  and  to  spare,  and 
I  perish  with  "hunger! 

18  ''■^I  will  arise  and  go  to  my 
father,  and  will  .say  unto  him, 
''Father,  ''I  have  sinned  against 
heaven,  and  before  thee, 

19  And  %m  no  more  worthy  to 
be  called  thy  son:  make  me  as 
one  of  thy  "hired  servants. 

20  And  he  arose,  and  "came  to 
his  fadier.  But  when  he  was  yet 
a  great  way  off,  his  father  saw 
him,  and  ''had  ^•■'compassion, 
and  ran,  and  fell  on  his  neck, 
and  ^ki.ssed  him. 

21  And  the  son  .said  unto  him, 
Father,  "-^I  have  sinned  against 


heaven,  and  in  thy  sight,  and 
'am  no  more  worthy  to  be  called 
thy  son. 

22  But  the  father  said  to  his 
servants.  Bring  forth  the  best 
lobe,  and  put  it  on  him;  and  put 
a  ring  on  his  hand,  and  shoes  on 
his  feet: 

23  And  bring  hither  the  fatted 
calf,  and  kill  it;  and  let  us  'eat, 
and  be  merry: 

24  For  this  my  son  was  dead, 
and  is  ^alive  again;  he  was  lost, 
and  ^is  found.  And  they  began 
to  '"be  merry. 

25  Now  his  elder  son  was  in  the 
field:  and  as  he  came  and  drew 
nigh  to  the  house,  he  heard 
musick  and  "dancing. 

26  And  he  called  one  of  the 
servants,  and  asked  what  these 
things  meant. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thy 
brother  is  come;  and  thy  father 
hath  killed  the  fatted  calf,  be- 
cause he  hath  received  him  safe 
and  sound. 

28  And  he  was  "angry,  and 
would  not  go  in:  therefore  ^came 
his  father  out,  and  intreated  him. 

29  And  he  answering  'said  to 
his  father,  Lo,  ''these  many  years 
do  I  serve  thee,  neither  trans- 
gressed I  at  any  time  thy  com- 
mandment: and  *yet  thou  never 
gavest  me  a  kid,  that  I  might 
make  merry  with  my  friends: 

30  '''But  as  soon  as  this  thy  son 
was  come,  which  hath  devoured 
thy  living  with  harlots,  thou  hast 
killed  for  him  the  fatted  calf.

CHAPTER  16 

The  parable  of  the  unjust  steward.  13  Je- 
sus reproves  the  covetous  Pharisees.  19 
The  parable  of  the  rich  man  and  Lazan.s. 

AND  he  '^said  also  unto  his 
^disciples.  There  was  a 
certain  rich  man,  which  had  a 
''steward;  and  the  same  was  ac- 
cused unto  him  that  he  had 
''•Svasted  his  goods. 

2  And  he  called  him,  and  ^said 
unto  him.  How  is  it  that  I  hear 
this  of  thee  ?  give  an  account  of 
thy  ''stewardship;  for  thou  may- 
est  be  no  longer  steward. 

3  Then  the  ''steward  said  within 
himself.  What  shall  I  do  ?  for  im' 
lord  taketh  away  from  me  the 
stewardship:  I  cannot  dig;  to  beg 
I  am  ashamed. 

4  I  am  resolved  what  to  do, 
that,  when  I  am  put  out  of  the 
stewardship,  they  may  receive 
me  into  their  houses. 

5  So  he  called  every  one  of  his 
lord's  debtors  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  the  first.  How  much  owest 
thou  unto  my  lord  ? 

6  And  he  said.  An  hundred 
''measures  of  *oil.  And  he  said 
unto  him,  Take  thy  bill,  and  sit 
down  cpiickly,  and  write  fifty. 

7  Then  said  he  to  another.  And 
how  much  owest  thou  ?  And  he 
said,  An  hundred  'measures  of 
^'wheat.  And  he  said  unto  him, 
Take  thy  bill,  and  write  four- 
score. 

8  And  the  lord  commended  the 


unjust  steward,  because  he  had 
done  wisely:  for  the  children  of 
this  world  are  in  their  genera- 
tion 'wiser  than  the  '"children  of 
'^' "light. 

9  And  I  say  unto  you,  INIake  to 
yourselves  friends  of  the  ^-^mam- 
mon  of  unrighteousness;  that, 
when  ye  fail,  they  may  receive 
you  into  everlasting  habitations. 

10  He  that  is  *•  ^faithful  in  that 
which  is  least  is  faithful  also  in 
much:  and  he  that  is  *unjust  in 
the  least  is  unjust  also  in  much. 

11  Tf  therefore  ye  have  ^not 
been  faithful  in  the  unrighteous 
^•^mammon,  who  will  commit  to 
your  trust  the  true  riches  ? 

12  And  if  ye  have  ^not  been 
faithful  in  that  which  is  another 
man's,  who  shall  give  you  that 
which  is  your  own  ? 

13  "No  servant  can  ^serve  two 
masters:  for  either  he  will  hate 
the  one,  and  love  the  other;  or 
else  he  will  hold  to  the  one,  and 
despi.se  the  other.  Ye  cannot 
serve  God  and  ^-"'mammon. 

14  ^  And  the  ^Phar'i-see.s  also, 
who  were  ^covetous,  heard  all 
these  things:  and  they  Merided 
him. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye 
are  they  which  '^•''justify  your- 
selves before  men;  but  God 
■^knoweth  your  '^hearts:  for  that 
which  is  highly  esteemed  among 
men  is  "abomination  in  the  sight 
of  God. 

16  ^The  "law  and  the  ^proph- 
ets  were  until  *John:  since  that 
time  the  '•''^kingdom  of  God  is 
'preached,  and  eveiy  man  press- 
eth  into  it.

when  he  is  come  from  the  field, 
Go  and  sit  down  to  meat  ? 

8  And  will  not  rather  say  unto 
him,  INIake  ready  wherewith  I 
may  sup,  and  gird  thyself,  and 
serve  me,  till  I  have  eaten  and 
drunken;  and  afterward  thou 
shalt  eat  and  drink  ? 

9  Doth  he  thank  that  servant 
because  he  did  the  things  that 
were  commanded  him  ?  I  trow 
not. 

10  "So  likewise  ye,  when  ye 
shall  have  done  all  those  things 
which  are  commanded  you,  say. 
We  are  unprofitable  servants: 
we  have  done  that  which  was  our 
'"duty  to  do. 

11  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he  went  to  ^Je-rii'sa-lem,  that  he 
passed  through  the  midst  of  ^Sa- 
ma'ri-a  and  ^Gal'i-Iee. 

12  And  as  he  entered  into  a  cer- 
tain village,  there  met  him  ten 
men  that  were  "lepers,  which 
stood  *afar  off: 

13  And  they  lifted  up  their 
voices,  and  ''said,  Je'sus,  jNIas- 
ter,  have  mercy  on  us. 

14  And  when  he  saw  them,  he 
said  unto  them,  Go  '^shew  your- 
selves unto  the  ^priests.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  that,  as  they  went, 
they  were  '•''cleansed. 

15  And  one  of  them,  when  he 
saw  that  he  was  'healed,  turned 
back,  and  with  a  ''loud  voice 
'•'glorified   God, 

16  And  fell  down  on  his  face  at 
his  feet,  giving  him  ^thanks:  and 
he  was  a  'Sa-mar'i-tan. 

17  And  Je'.sus  aaswering  said, 
Were  there  not  ten  cleansed  ?  but 
'"where  are  the  nine  ? 

18  There  are  not  found  that 
returned  to  give  *glory  to  God, 
save  this  "stranger. 

19  And  he  said  unto  him, 
Arise,  go  thy  way:  thy  ''faith 
hath  made  thee  whole. 

20  ^  And  when  he  was  de- 
manded   of    the    "Phar'i-sees, 


when  the  ^kingdom  of  God 
should  come,  he  answered  them 
and  said,  The  kingdom  of  God 
Cometh  not  with  observation: 

21  Neither  shall  they  say,  Lo 
here!  or,  Lo  there!  for,  behold, 
the  kingdom  of  God  is  within 
you. 

22  ^  And  he  'said  unto  the  ''dis- 
ciples. The  days  will  come,  when 
ye  shall  desire  to  see  one  of  the 
days  of  the  Son  of  man,  and  ye 
shall  not  see  it. 

23  And  *they  shall  say  to  you. 
See  here;  or.  See  there:  go  not 
after  tlievi,  nor  follow  them. 

24  For  as  the  lightning,  that 
lighteneth  out  of  the  one  part 
under  heaven,  shineth  unto  the 
other  'part  under  heaven;  ^so 
shall  also  the  Son  of  man  be 
"in  his  day. 

25  'But  first  must  he  "suffer 
many  things,  and  be  "'rejected  of 
this  generation. 

2G  And  as  it  was  in  the  days  of 
■''No^e,  so  shall  it  be  also  in  the 
days  of  the  Son  of  man. 

27  ^/'^They  did  eat,  they  drank, 
they  "married  wives,  they  were 
given  in  marriage,  until  the  day 
that  ''X(~)'e  entered  into  the  ''ark, 
and  the  '^flood  came,  and  "•'de- 
stroyed them  all. 

28  Likewise  also  as  it  was  in 
the  days  of  ^L6t;  "■'they  did  eat, 
they  drank,  they  bought,  they 
sold,  they  planted,  they  builded ; 

29  But  the  same  day  that  "Lot 
went  out  of  'Sod'om  it  rained 
fire  and  brimstone  from  heaven, 
and  "destroyed  them  all. 

30  Even  thus  shall  it  be  in  the 
day  when  the  Son  of  man  is  ^re- 
vealed. 

31  'Li  that  day,  he  which  shall 
be  upon  the  housetop,  and  his 
stuff  in  the  house,  let  him  not 
come  down  to  take  it  away:  and 
he  that  is  in  the  field,  let  him 
likewise  not  return  back.

and  of  the  Pharisee  and  publican.  15 
Jesus  receives  little  children.  18  The 
rich  ruler  answered.  34  It  is  hard  for  a 
rich  man  to  enter  the  kingdom  of  God. 
28  The  reward  of  those  who  forsake  all  and 
follow  .Jesus.  31  Jesus  foretells  his  own 
death  and  resurrection.  35  He  heals  a 
blind  man  at  Jericho. 

AND  he  spake  a  'Sparable  un- 
to them  to  this  end,  that 
men  ought  always  to  ''•'^pray,  and 
not  to  '^•'^faint; 

2  Saying,  There  was  in  a  city  a 
^judge,  which  feared  not  God, 
neither  regarded  man: 

3  And  there  was  a  "widow  in 
that  city;  and  she  came  unto 
him,  saying,  Avenge  me  of  mine 
adversary. 

4  And  he  would  not  for  a  while: 
but  afterward  he  said  within 
himself,  Hiough  I  fear  not  God, 
nor  regard  man ; 

5  Yet  ''because  this  "widow 
troubleth  me,  I  will  avenge  her, 
lest  by  her  continual  coming  she 
weary  me. 

6  And  the  I^ord  said,  Hear  what 
the  unjust  'judge  saitli. 


7  And  *' 'shall  not  God  '^avenge 
his  own  'elect,  which  cry  day  and 
night  unto  him,  though  "'he  bear 
long  with  them  ? 

8  I  tell  you  that  he  will  avenge 
them  speedily.  Nevertheless 
when  the  Son  of  man  "cometh, 
"shall  he  find  ^faith  on  the  earth? 

9  T[  And  he  spake  this  'Sparable 
unto  certain  which  'trusted  in 
themselves  that  they  were  right- 
eous, and  'despised  others: 

10  Two  men  went  up  into 
the  *temple  to  'pray;  the  one 
a  "Phar'i-see,  and  the  other  a 
^publican. 

11  The"Phar'i-sec  "'■^stoodand 
prayed  thus  with  himself,  God, 
I  thank  thee,  that  *'^'^I  am  not 
as  other  men  are,  "extortioners, 
^unjust,  '^adulterers,  or  even  as 
this  '^publican. 

12  *I  '■•''fast  twice  in  the  week,  I 
''give  "tithes  of  all  that  I  possess. 

13  And  the  '^publican,  stand- 
ing afar  ofT,  ''would  not  lift 
up  so  much  as  his  eyes  unto 
heaven,  but  smote  upon  his 
breast,  *■'' '^saying,  God  be  'mer- 
ciful to  me  a  sinner. 

14  I  tell  you,  '"this  man  went 
down  to  his  house  "-"justified 
rafhrr  than  the  other:  ''for  every 
one  that  ^^-'exalteth  him.self  shall 
be  abased;  and  he  that  ''hum- 
blcth  him.self  shall  be  exalted. 

15  T[  And  they  brought  unto 
him  also  infants,  that  he  would 
touch  them:  but  when  his  'dis-

sliall  I  do  to  inherit  '^eternal

have  "•''•Heft  all,  and  followed 
thee. 

29  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ver- 
ily I  say  unto  you.  There  is  no 
man  that  hath  ''•'left  house,  or 
parents,  or  brethren,  or  wife,  or 
children,  for  the  "kingdom  of 
God's  sake, 

30  ''*Who  shall  not  receive 
manifold  more  in  this  present 
time,  and  in  the  world  to  come 
'•"'life  everlasting. 

31  Tf  Then  he  took  unto  him  the 
"twelve,  and  said  unto  them, 
Behold,  we  go  up  to  "Je-ri/sa- 
lem,  and  all  ^things  that  are 
written  by  the  ^prophets  con- 
cerning the  Son  of  man  shall  be 
accomplished. 

32  For  he  shall  be  delivered 
unto  the  Gen'tlles,  and  shall 
be  ''mocked,  and  '^spitefully  en- 
treated, and  ''spitted  on: 

33  And  they  shall  'scourge  him, 
and  'put  him  to  death:  and  the 
third  day  he  shall  "rise  again. 

34  And  they  "understood  none 
of  these  things:  and  this  say- 
ing was  hid  from  them,  neither 
knew  they  the  things  which  were 
spoken. 

35  1  '"And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
as  he  was  come  nigh  unto  ^Jer'i- 
cho,  a  certain  ^blind  man  sat  by 
the  way  side  ^begging: 

36  And  hearing  the  multitude 
pass  by,  he  asked  what  it  meant. 

37  And  they  told  him,  that  "  Je'- 
.sus  of  *Naz'a-rgth  passeth  by.

CHAPTER  19 

ZacchcBUS  the  publican.  11  The  parable  of 
the  ten  pounds.  28  Jesus'  public  entry 
into  Jerusalem.  41  He  weeps  over  tlie 
city;  45  drives  the  traders  out  of  the  tem- 
ple; 47  and  teaches  daily  in  it. 

AND     Jc'§us    entered     and 
passed  through  "Jer'i-cho. 

2  And,  behold,  there  was  a 
man  named  Zilc-chse'us,  which 
was  the  chief  among  the  "pub- 
licans, and  he  was  '^rich. 

3  And  he  sought  to  see  Je'sus 
who  he  was;  and  could  not  for 
the  press,  because  he  was  little 
of  stature. 

4  And  he  ran  before,  and 
climbed  up  into  a  '^sycoraore 
tree  to  see  him:  for  he  was  to 
pass  that  way. 

5  And  when  Je'.sus  came  to  the 
place,  he  looked  up,  and  saw 
him,  and  .said  unto  him,  Zdc- 
cha^'us,  make  haste,  and  come 
down ;  for  to  day  I  must  abide 
at  thy  house. 

6  And  he  made  haste,  and 
came  down,  and  'received  him 
joyfully. 


7  And  wlien  they  saw  it,  they 
all  murmured,  'saying.  That  he 
was  gone  to  be  guest  with  a 
man  that  is  a  sinner. 

8  And  Zjic-chse'us  stood,  and 
said  unto  the  Lord;  Behold, 
Lord,  the  half  of  my  goods  I 
"•''give  to  the  *poor;  and  if  I 
have  Haken  any  thing  from  any 
man  by  'false  accusation,  I  ^"''re- 
store him  fourfold. 

9  And  Je'.sus  said  unto  him, 
This  day  is  ""salvation  come  to 
this  house,  forsomuch  as  he  also 
is  a  son  of  "A'brri-hiim. 

10  "For  the  Son  of  man  is 
come  ^to  seek  and  ^to  '^save 
that  which  was  ''lost. 

11  ^  And  as  they  heard  the.se 
things,  he  added  and  spake  a 
*parable,  because  he  was  nigh 
to  'Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  because 
they  thought  that  the  "king- 
dom of  God  should  immediately 
appear. 

12  He  said  therefore,  '-"A  cer- 
tain nobleman  went  into  a  far 
country  to  receive  for  him- 
self a  kingdom,  and  to  '*re- 
turn. 

13  And  he  called  his  ten  serv- 
ants, and  ^delivered  them  ten 
pounds,  and  said  unto  them, 
^•^'Occupy  till  I  come. 

14  But  his  citizens  hated  him, 
and  sent  ^a  message  after  him, 
saying.  We  will  not  have  this 
man  to  reign  over  us. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  he  was  "'•^returned,  having 
received  the  kingdom,  then  he 
commanded  these  servants  to 
be  called  unto  him,  to  whom 
he  had  given  the  money,  that 
he  might  know  how  much 
every  man  had  gained  by  trad-

cause  thou  hast  been  ^•''faithful 
in  a  very  little,  "-''have  thou  au-

18  And  the  second  came,  say- 
ing, Lord,  "thy  pound  hath 
gained  five  pounds. 

19  And  he  *said  likewise  to  him, 
"■''Be  thou  also  over  five  cities. 

20  And  'another  came,  saying, 
Lord,  behold,  here  is  thy  pound, 
which  I  have  'kept  *laid  up  in  a 
napkin: 

21  For  'I  feared  thee,  because 
thou  art  an  austere  man:  thou 
takest  up  that  thou  layedst  not 
down,  and  reapest  that  thou 
didst  not  sow. 

22  And  he  saith  unto  him, 
Out  of  thine  own  mouth  will 
I  ^•'"judge  thee,  thou  wicked 
^servant.  Thou  knewest  that  I 
was  an  austere  man,  taking  up 
that  I  laid  not  down,  and  reap- 
ing that  I  did  not  sow: 

23  Wherefore  then  gavest  not 
thou  my  money  into  the  bank, 
that  at  my  coming  I  might  have 
required  mine  own  with  ^usury  ? 

24  And  he  said  unto  them  that 
stood  by.  Take  from  him  the 
pound,  and  give  it  to  him  that 
hath  ten  pounds. 

25  (And  they  said  unto  him. 
Lord,  he  hath  ten  pounds.) 

26  For  I  say  unto  you.  That 
''•"unto  every  one  which  ^-'hath 
shall  be  given;  and  from  him 
that  hath  not,  even  that  he  hath 
''shall  be  taken  away  from  him. 

27  But  those  mine  enemies, 
which  *would  not  that  I  should 
'reign  over  them,  bring  hither, 
and  'slay  them  before  me. 

28  And  when  he  had  thus  spo- 
ken, he  went  before,  ascending 
up  to  "Je-ru'sa-lem. 

29  T[  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  he  was  come  nigh  to 
"Beth'pha-ge  and  "'Beth'a-ny, 
at  the  mount  called  the  mount 
of  ^Ol'ive.s,  he  sent  two  of  his 
"disciples, 


30  Saying,  Go  ye  into  the  vil- 
lage over  against  you;  in  the 
which  at  your  entering  ye  shall 
find  a  colt  tied,  whereon  yet 
never  man  sat:  loose  him,  and 
bring  him  hither. 

31  And  if  any  man  ask  you, 
Wliy  do  ye  loose  hivi  ?  thus  shall 
ye  say  unto  him,  Because  the 
Lord  hath  need  of  him. 

32  And  they  that  were  sent 
went  their  way,  and  found  even 
as  he  had  said  unto  them. 

33  And  as  they  were  loosing  the 
colt,  the  owners  thereof  said  un- 
to them.  Why  loose  ye  the  colt  ? 

34  And  they  said.  The  Lord 
hath  need  of  him. 

35  And  they  brought  him  to 
Je'§us:  and  ^they  cast  their  gar- 
ments upon  the  colt,  and  they  set 
Je'.sus  thereon. 

36  And  as  he  went,  ^they  spread 
their  clothes  in  the  way. 

37  And  when  he  was  ''come 
nigh,  even  now  at  the  descent 
of  the  ^mount  of  OFives,  *^the 
whole  multitude  of  the  '^disci- 
ples began  to  rejoice  and  ''praise 
God  with  a  loud  voice  for  all  the 
mighty  works  that  they  had  seen; 

38  '^Saying,  ^-^Blessed  be  the 
King  that  cometh  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord:  peace  in  heaven, 
and  glory  in  the  highest. 

39  And  some  of  the  "Phar'i- 
see.s  from  among  the  multitude 
said  unto  him,  Master,  rebuke 
thy  "^disciples. 

40  And  he  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  I  tell  you  that,  if 
these  should  hold  their  peace, 
the  stones  would  immediately 
cry  out. 

41  ^  And  when  he  was  come 
near,  he  beheld  the  '^city,  and 
'•■'wept  over  it, 

42  Saying,  If  *thou  hadst 
known,  even  thou,  at  least  in 
this  thy  day,  the  things  which 
belong  unto  thy  'peace!  but  now 
they  are  '"hid  from  thine  eyes.

upon  thee,  that  thine  enemies 
shall  cast  a  trench  about  thee, 
and  compass  thee  round,  and 
keep  thee  in  on  every  side, 

44  And  "shall  "lay  ''thee  even 
with  the  ground,  and  thy  chil- 
dren within  thee;  and  they  shall 
not  leave  in  thee  one  stone  upon 
another;  because  thou  '"knewest 
not  the  time  of  thy  visitation. 

45  ^And  he  went  into  the  *tem- 
ple,  and  began  to  cast  out  them 
that  sold  ^therein,  and  them  that 
bought; 

4G  Saying  unto  them,  It  is 
Vritten,  jSIy  house  is  the  *house 
of  prayer:  but  ye  have  '•''made  it 
a  den  of  "thieves. 

47  And  he  "'-^taught  daily 
in  the  'temple.  But  the  chief 
priests  and  the  scribes  and  the 
chief  of  the  people  ^' ^sought  to 
destroy  him, 

48  And  could  not  find  what 
they  might  do:  for  ''•*all  the 
people  were  very  attentive  '^to 
hear  him. 

CHAPTER  20 

Jesus  silences  those  who  question  his  au- 
thority. 9  The  parable  of  the  wicked 
husbandmen.  19  The  question  of  the 
priests  ahnul  polling  tribute  to  Ccesar,  27 
and  of  the  Sadduccrs  concerning  the  res- 
urrection. 39  Christ  the  Son  of  David. 
45  He  ivarns  the  disciples  to  beware  of  the 
scribes. 

°-  A  XD  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
l\.  one  of  those  days,  as  he 
*• '^taught  the  people  in  the  ''tem- 
ple, and  '^preached  the  'gospel, 
the  chief  ''priests  and  the  ^scribes 
came  upon  him,  with  the  elders, 

2  And  spake  unto  him,  saying, 
Tell  us,  by  what  authority  doest 
thou  these  things  ?  or  who  is  he 
that  gave  thee  this  authority  ? 

3  And  he  answered  and  *said 
unto  them,  I  will  also  ask  you 
one  thing;  and  answer  me: 


4  'The  *baptism  of  '  J6hn,  was 
it  from  heaven,  or  of  men  ? 

5  And  they  '^Teasoned  with  them- 
selves, saying.  If  we  shall  say. 
From  heaven;  he  will  say.  Why 
then  believed  ye  him  not  ? 

6  But  and  if  we  say.  Of  men; 
'all  the  people  will  stone  us:  for 
they  be  persuaded  that  ^ohn 
was  a  '"prophet. 

7  And  they  answered,  that  they 
could  not  tell  whence  it  was. 

8  And  Je'.sus  said  unto  them, 
Neither  tell  I  you  by  what  au- 
thority I  do  these  things. 

9  Then  began  he  to  speak  to  the 
people  this  "parable;  "A  certain 
man  planted  a  ^vineyard,  and 
'let  ''it  forth  to  *• 'husbandmen, 
and  went  into  a  far  country  for  a 
long  time. 

10  And  at  the  "season  he  sent  a 
^'servant  to  the  *■ 'husbandmen, 
that  they  should  give  him  of  the 
"fruit  of  the  ^vineyard:  but  ^the 
husbandmen  ^beat  4iim,  and 
sent  him  away  empty. 

11  And  again  ^he  sent  another 
"servant:  and  they  beat  him  also, 
and  entreated  him  shamefully, 
and  sent  him  away  empty. 

12  And  again  he  sent  a  "third: 
and  ^tiiey  ^wounded  him  also, 
and  cast  him  out. 

13  Then  said  the  lord  of  the 
"vineyard,  What  shall  I  do  ?  I 
will  send  my  beloved  *son:  it 
may  be  they  will  reverence  him 
Hvhen  they  see  him. 

14  But  when  the  ''•'^husband- 
men  saw  him,  they  reasoned 
among  themselves,  saying.  This 
is  the  heir:  come,  let  us  kill  him, 
that  the  inheritance  may  be 
ours. 

15  So  they  ''cast  him  out  of 
the  "vineyard,  and  '-'killed  him.

8:2. 


What  therefore  shall  the  lord  of 
the  vineyard  do  unto  them  ? 

16  He  shall  come  and  ''destroy 
these  '^•*' husbandmen,  and  shall 
give  the  "vineyard  to  others. 
And  when  they  heard  it,  they 
said,  God  foxbid. 

17  And  he  beheld  them,  and 
*said,  "What  is  Hhis  then  that 
is  written,  The  '"stone  which 
the  builders  rejected,  the  same 
is  become  the  "'"head  of  the 
corner  ? 

18  Whosoever  shall  fall  upon 
that  stone  shall  be  ^broken;  but 
on  whomsoever  it  shall  fall,  it 
will  ''grind  him  to  powder. 

19  And  the  chief  ^priests  and 
the  ^scribes  the  same  hour  ''sought 
to  lay  hands  on  him;  and  they 
feared  the  *people:  for  they  per- 
ceived that  he  had  spoken  this 
'parable  against  them. 

20  ^  "And  they  watched  him, 
and  sent  forth  "spies,  which 
should  "'•^feign  themselves  just 
men,  that  they  might  take  hold 
of  his  words,  that  so  they  might 
deliver  him  unto  the  power  and 
authority  of  the  governor. 

21  And  they  asked  him,  ^say- 
ing. Master,  we  know  that  thou 
sayest  and  ^teachcst  rightly,  nei- 
ther acceptest  thou  the  person  of 
any,  but  teachest  the  way  of  God 
truly: 

22  Is  it  lawful  for  '^us  to  give 
^tribute  unto  "^Qve'sar,  or  no  ? 

23  But  he  perceived  their 
'^craftiness,  and  said  unto  them, 
^Why  tempt  ye  me  ? 

24  Shew  me  a  ^penny.  Whose 
image  and  superscription  hath 
it  ?  They  answered  and  said, 
^ae'.sar's. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them, 
'Render  therefore  unto  ''(^de'sar 
the  things  which  be  ^{e'sar's, 
and  unto  God  the  things  which 
be  God's. 

26  And  they  could  not  take  hold 
of  his  words  before  the  people: 


and  they  marvelled  at  his  an- 
swer, and  held  their  peace. 

27  ^  "Then  came  to  him  certain 
of  the  ''S&d'du-^ees,  which  deny 
that  there  is  any  '^resurrection : 
and  they  asked  him, 

28  Saying,  Master,  Mo'.se.s 
^wrote  unto  us,  If  any  man's 
^brother  'die,  having  a  "'wife, 
and  he  die  without  children, 
that  his  brother  should  "take 
his  wife,  and  raise  up  seed 
unto  his  brother. 

29  There  were  therefore  seven 
brethren:  and  the  first  took  a 
wiiv.,  and  died  without  chil- 
dren. 

30  And  the  second  "took  her  to 
wife,  and  he  died  childless. 

31  And  the  third  "took  her;  and 
in  like  manner  the  seven  also: 
and  they  left  no  children,  and 
died. 

32  Last  of  all  the  woman  died 
also. 

33  Therefore  in  the  *resurrec- 
tion  whose  wife  of  them  is  she  ? 
for  seven  had  her  to  wife. 

34  And  Je'sus  answering  said 
unto  them.  The  children  of  this 
world  "marry,  and  are  given  in 
marriage: 

35  But  they  which  shall  be  ac- 
counted ^worthy  to  obtain  ^that 
world,  and  the  ^resurrection  from 
the  Mead,  neither  "marry,  nor 
are  given  in  marriage: 

36  *' 'Neither  can  they  'die  any 
more:  for  they  are  equal  unto  the 
"angels;  and  are  the  Miildren  of 
God,  being  the  children  of  the 
resurrection. 

37  Now  that  the  ""dead  are 
^raised,  even  ""Md'.ses  shewed  ''at 
the  ^bush,  when  he  calleth  the 
Lord  the  God  of  ^A'bra,-hara, 
and  the  God  of  ^Psaac,  and  the 
God  of  "Ja'cob. 

38  For  he  is  not  ^a  God  of  the 
dead,  but  of  the  ''living:  for  all 
live  unto  him.

5  ^  And  as  some  spake  of  the 
'tem])le,  how  it  was  adorned  with 
goodly  stones  and  gifts,  he  said, 

6  '"As  for  these  things  which  ye 
behold,  the  days  will  come,  in 
the  which  there  shall  not  be  left 
one  stone  upon  another,  that 
shall  not  be  thrown  down. 

7  And  they  asked  him,  saying, 
Master,  but  when  shall  these 
things  be  ?  and  Vv^hat  "siffn  will 
there  be  when  these  things  shall 
come  to  pass  ? 

8  And  he  said,  "Take  heed 
that  ye  be  not  ^' ^deceived:  *for 
''■*many  shall  come  in  my  name, 
saying,  I  am  ^Christ;  and  the 
time  draweth  near:  go  ye  not 
therefore  after  them. 

9  But  'when  ye  shall  hear  of 
"wars  and  commotions,  be  not 
terrified:  for  these  things  must 
first  come  to  pass;  but  the  end  is 
not  by  and  by. 

10  Then  said  he  unto  them, 
^'Nation  sliall  "rise  against  na- 
tion, and  kingdom  a"ainst  king- 
dom: 

11  And  great  "'earthquakes 
shall  be  in  divers  places,  and 
^famines,  and  ^pestilences;  and 
fearful  sights  and  great  "signs 
shall  there  be  from  heaven. 

12  But  before  all  these,  ^thc}- 
shall  lay  their  hands  on  you, 
and  "persecute  you,  delivering 
you  up  to  the  ''synagogues,  and 
into  ''prisons,  being  brought  be- 
fore kings  and  rulers  for  my 
name's  sake. 

13  And  it  shall  turn  to  you 
for  a  testimony. 

14  ''•^Settle  it  therefore  in  your 
hearts,  not  to  meditate  before 
what  ye  shall  answer: 

15  For  ''"I  will  ''give  you  a 
mouth  and  Svisdom,  which  all 
your  adversaries  shall  not  be 
able  to  gainsay  nor  resist.

and  let  them  which  are  in  the

22  For  these  be  the  days  of  *ven-

there  shall  be  great  "distress  in

CHAPTER  22 

The  rulers  conspire  against  Jesus,  and  ar- 
range iL'Hh  Judas  for  his  betrayal.  7  Je- 
sus keeps  the  passovcr;  19  institutes  the 
Lord's  supper:  24  exhorts  his  disciples  to 
humlliti/;  31  and  foretells  I'eter's  denial  of 
hitn.  3!)  lie  prays  in  the  garden;  47  is  be- 
trayed 7vith  a  kiss:  54  and  is  brought  into 
the  high  priest's  house,  v^here  Peter  denies 
him.  63  He  is  mocked;  66  a ud  condemned 
before  the  council. 

''IVTOW  tlie  fea.st  of  unleavened 
-LI      bread  drew  nigh,  which  i.s 
called  the  "Passover. 

2  And  the  chief  '^priests  and 
''scribes  ^-'sought  how  they  might 
kill  him;  for  they  feared  the 
"people. 

3  1[  ''Then  ^-^entered  *''Sa'tan 
into  '"Ju'das  surnamed  Is-ctir'i- 
ot,  being  of  the  number  of  the 
"twelve. 

4  And  he  Svent  his  Avay,  and 
^■"communed  with  the  chief 
'■priests  and  ^captains,  how  he 
might  'betray  him  unto  them. 

5  ''And  they  were  glad,  and  cov- 
enanted to  *give  'him  ''money. 

6  And  he  promised,  and 
'^•'sought  opportunity  to  'betray 
him  unto  tliem  in  the  absence  of 
tlie  multitude. 

7  T[  "Then  came  the  day  of  un- 
leavened bread,  when  the  ''pass- 
over  must  be  killed. 

8  And  he  sent  "'Pe'ter  and 
^John,  saying,  Go  and  prepare 
us  the  "passover,  that  we  may 
cat. 

9  And  they  said  unto  hixn, 
Where  wilt  thou  that  we  prepare? 

10  And  "he  said  unto  them, 
Behold,  when  ye  are  entered  into 
the  city,  there  shall  a  man  meet 
you,  bearing  a  pitcher  of  water; 
follow  him  into  the  house  where 
he  entereth  in. 

11  And  yc  shall  say  unto  the 
goodman  of  the  house,  The  Mas- 
ter saith  unto  thee.  Where  is  the 
guestchamber,  where  I  shall  eat 
the  "passover  with  my  disciples  ? 

12  And  he  shall  shew  you  a 


large  upper  room  furnished: 
there  make  ready. 

13  And  «'•  ^they  went,  and  found 
as  he  had  said  unto  them:  and 
they  made  ready  the  "passovcr. 

14  ^And  when  the  hour  was 
come,  he  sat  down,  and  the 
twelve  '^apostles  with  him. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them.  With 
desire  I  have  desired  to  eat  this 
"passover  with  you  before  '^I 
suffer: 

16  For  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not 
any  more  eat  thereof,  until  it  be 
fulfilled  in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

17  And  ''he  took  the  '^•^•''cup, 
and  ''gave  Hhanks,  and  said, 
Take  this,  and  divide  it  among 
yourselves: 

18  For  I  say  unto  you,  I  will 
not  drink  of  the  fruit  of  the  vine, 
until  the  kingdom  of  God  shall 
come. 

19  \  ''And  he  took  bread,  and 
''gave  Hhanks,  and  brake  it,  and 
gave  unto  them,  saying.  This 
is  my  body  which  is  given  'for 
you:  this  do  in  ''^remembrance  of 
me. 

20  Likewise  also  the  ^•''■'cup 
after  supper,  saying.  This  cup 
is  the  '"new  Testament  in  my 
"blood,  which  is  "shed  'for  you. 

21  t  But,  ^'behold,  the  hand  of 
'diim  that  ''betrayeth  me  is  with 
me  on  the  table. 

22  And  truly  the  Son  of  man 
goeth,  *as  it  was  determined:  but 
woe  unto  that  man  by  whom  he 
is  '"betrayed! 

23  And  they  began  to  'en- 
cjuire  among  themselves,  wliicli 
of  them  it  was  that  should  do 
this   thing. 

24  %  And  there  was  also  a 
"strife  among  them,  "which  of 
til  em  should  be  accounted  the 
greatest. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them, 
"'The  kings  of  the  Gen'tlle.s  ex- 
ercise lordship  over  them;  and 
they    tliat     exercise    authority

said,  Suffer  ye  thus  far.  And  he

10  And  the  chief  ''priests  and 
'scribes  stood  and  'vehemently 
accused  him. 

1 1  "And  "Her'od  with  his  "men 
of  war  ''"set  him  at  nought,  and 
"'mocked  him.,  and  -^arrayed  him 
in  a  gorgeous  robe,  and  sent  him 
again  to  Pi'late. 

12  T[  And  the  same  day  Pi'- 
late  and  "Her'od  were  ^made 
^friends  together:  for  before 
thev  were  at  enmity  between 
themselves. 

13  1  And  "Pl'late,  when  he  had 
called  together  the  chief  ''priests 
and  the  rulers  and  the  people, 

14  Said  unto  them.  Ye  have 
brought  this  man  unto  me,  as 
one  that  perverteth  the  people: 
and,  behold,  I,  having  exam- 
ined ''him  before  you,  have  found 
no  fault  in  this  man  touching 
those  things  whereof  ye  accuse 
him: 

15  '^No,  nor  yet  ''Her'od:  for 
'I  .sent  you  to  him;  and,  lo,  noth- 
ing worthy  of  death  is  done  unto 
him. 

16  I  will  therefore  ^chastise 
him,  and  release  him. 

17  ^(For  of  necessity  he  must  re- 
lease one  unto  them  at  the  %ast.) 

18  And  they  cried  out  all  at 
once,  saying,  "Away  with  this 
man,  and  release  unto  us  ''Ba- 
ral)'bas : 

19  ('Who  for  a  certain  sedition 
made  in  the  city,  and  for  'mur- 
der, was  cast  into  ^prison.) 

20  "Pi'late  therefore,  willing  to 
release  Je'sus,  spake  again  to 
them. 

21  But  they  cried,  saying, 
"•'Crucify  him,  crucify  him. 


22  And  he  said  unto  them  the 
third  time.  Why,  what  evil  hath 
he  done  ?  I  have  found  no  cause 
of  death  in  him:  I  will  therefore 
^chastise  him,  and  let  him  go. 

23  And  they  were  instant  with 
loud  voices,  "requiring  that  he 
might  be  'crucified.  And  ^•'"the 
voices  of  them  and  of  the  chief 
*priests  prevailed. 

24  ^And  "'"Pi'late  gave  sen- 
tence that  it  should  be  °as  they 
recjuired. 

25  And  he  released  unto  them 
'him  that  for  sedition  and  'mur- 
der Avas  cast  into  ^'prison,  whom 
"they  had  desired;  but  he  deliv- 
ered Je'.sus  to  their  "will. 

26  H  ^And  as  they  led  him 
away,  they  laid  hold  upon  one 
'Si'mon,  a  ^y-re'ni-an,  coming 
out  of  the  country,  and  on  him 
they  laid  the  ''cross,  that  he 
might  bear  it  after  Je'sus. 

27  And  *there  'followed  him  a 
great  company  of  people,  and  of 
"women,  which  also  '^■"'bewailed 
and  lamented  him. 

28  But  ^Je'.sus  turning  unto 
them  said.  Daughters  of  ^Je-r\/- 
sa-lem,  weep  not  for  me,  but 
weep  for  yourselves,  and  for  your 
children. 

29  ^F(M-,  behold,  the  da_ys  are 
coming,  in  the  which  they  shall 
say.  Blessed  are  the  barren,  and 
the  wombs  that  never  bare,  and 
the  paps  which  never  gave  suck. 

30  ^'^'"Then  shall  they  begin  to 
say  to  the  mountains,  Fall  on  us; 
and  to  the  hills.  Cover  us. 

31  For  if  they  do  these  things  in 
a  ffreen  tree,  what  shall  be  done 
in  the  dry  ?

32  \  ''And  there  were  also  two 
other,  malefactors,  led  with  him 
to  be  ''put  to  death. 

33  '^And  when  they  were  come 
to  the  place,  which  is  called 
^'^Cal'va-ry,  there  they  'crucified 
him,  *and  the  malefactors,  one 
on  the  right  hand,  and  the  other 
on  the  left. 

34  "Then  ^•^-'said  Je'sus,  -^-Ta- 
ther,  forgive  them;  for  they 
'"'"know  not  what  they  do.  And 
"•^they  parted  his  raiment,  and 
cast  ^lots. 

35  And  the  people  stood  be- 
holding. And  the  rulers  also 
with  them  ''derided  hivi,  saying, 
He  saved  others;  let  him  save 
himself,  if  he  be  *ChrIst,  the 
chosen  of   God. 

36  And  the  'soldiers  also  "mock- 
ed him,  coming  to  him,  and  of- 
fering him  "vinegar, 

37  And  ^'"saying.  If  thou  be 
the  king  of  the  Jew.s,  save  thy- 
self. 

38  And  a  '"superscription  also 
was  written  over  him  ^in  let- 
ters of  ^Greek,  and  ^Lat'in, 
and  ^He'brew,  ^THIS  IS  THE 
KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 

39  ^  And  one  of  the  ^malefac- 
tors which  were  hanged  ''railed 
on  him,  ''saying,  If  thou  be 
*ChrIst,  save  thyself  and  us. 

40  But  the  other  answer- 
ing rebuked  him,  saying,  Dost 
not  thou  "fear  God,  seeing 
thou  art  in  the  same  condem- 
nation ? 

41  And  we  indeed  justly;  for  we 
receive  the  due  reward  of  our 
deeds:  but  this  man  hath  done 
nothing  ami.ss. 

42  And  he  "'■^said  unto  Je'.sus, 
Lord,  remember  me  when  thou 
comest  into  ''thy  kingdom. 

43  And  Je'sus  said  unto  him, 


Verily  I  say  unto  thee,  "^To 
day  shalt  thou  be  with  me  in 
'^"'paradise. 

44  ^  And  it  was  about  the  sixth 
hour,  and  there  was  a  ^•^'•Mark- 
ness  over  all  the  earth  until  the 
ninth  hour. 

45  *And  the  'sun  was  "dark- 
ened, and  the  ^'^\e\\  of  the  "'tem- 
ple was  rent  in  the  midst. 

46  And  "when  Je'.sus  had  cried 
with  a  loud  voice,  he  "-^said, 
'Father,  ''into  thy  hands  I  com- 
mend my  spirit:  and  having  said 
thus,  he  *''gave  up  the  ghost. 

47  T[  Now  when  the  "-'centu- 
rion saw  what  was  done,  he 
"'glorified  God,  saying,  Certainly 
this  was  a  righteous  man. 

48  And  all  the  people  that 
came  together  to  that  sight,  lie- 
holding  the  things  which  were 
done,  smote  their  breasts,  and 
returned. 

49  And  all  his  acquaintance, 
and  the  ^women  that  followed 
him  from  ^'GSKi-Iee,  stood  afar 
off,  beholding  these  things. 

50  T[  ^And,  behold,  there  was  a 
man  named  '^Jo'seph,  a  ^■''coun- 
sellor; and  he  was  a  good  man, 
and  a  just: 

51  (The  same  had  not  con- 
sented to  the  coun.sel  and  deed 
of  them;)  he  was  of  '^Ar-i-ma- 
th?e'a,  a  city  of  the  '^Jews:  who 
also  himself  ^waited  for  the 
''kingdom  of  God. 

52  This  mail  went  unto  "Pl'late, 
and  begged  the  body  of  Je^sus. 

53  And  he  took  it  down,  and 
wrapped  it  in  linen,  and  laid  it  in 
a  ''sepulchre  that  was  hewn  in 
stone,  ^'herein  never  man  before 
was  laid.

The  resurrection  of  Jesus.  9  The  report  of 
the  women.  12  Peter  runs  to  the  sepul- 
chre. 13  Jesus  apjx-ars  to  two  disciples 
on  their  waij  to  Emrnatis:  36  and  to  the 
eleven.     50  His  ascension. 

"^OW  upon  the  "first  dai/  of 
i- 1  the  week,  very  "^early  in  the 
morning,  ''they  ^came  unto  the 
sepulchre,  bringing  the  'spices 
which  they  had  prepared,  ^and 
certain  other.s  with  them. 

2  And  they  found  the  stone 
rolled  away  from  the  sepulchre. 

3  And  they  entered  in,  and 
found  not  the  body  of  the  I^ord 
Je'.sus. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
were  much  perplexed  there- 
about, behold,  two  men  stood 
by   them   in  shining  garments: 

5  And  as  they  were  afraid,  and 
bowed  down  their  faces  to  the 
earth,  they  said  unto  them.  Why 
seek  ye  the  living  among  the 
dead  ? 

6  He  is  not  here,  but  is  "risen: 
remember  how  he  '^spake  unto 
you  when  he  was  yet  in  ^GjIFT- 
lee, 

7  ''Saying,  The  Son  of  man 
must  be  delivered  into  the  hands 
of  sinful  men,  and  be  crucified, 
and  the  third  day  ri.se  again. 

8  And  they  rememliered  his 
words, 

9  And  returned  from  the  sepul- 
chre, and  told  all  these  things 
unto  the  ^eleven,  and  to  all  the 
rest. 

10  It  was  ^Ma'ry  IVlag-da-le'- 
ne,  and  ' Jo-Sn'na,  and  '"Ma'rv 


ihe  mother  of  "Jame.s,  and  other 
'Women  thai  ^vere  with  them, 
which  told  these  things  unto  the 
'apostles. 

11  And  their  words  seemed  to 
them  as  idle  tales,  and  "they 
''■'believed  them  not. 

12  Then  arose  ''Pe'ter,  and  ran 
unto  tiie  sepulchre;  and  stooping 
down,  he  beheld  the  linen  clothes 
laid  by  themselves,  and  depart- 
ed, wondering  in  himself  at  that 
which  was  come  to  pass. 

13  T[  *And,  behold,  two  of 
'them  went  that  same  day  to  a 
village  called  Em-ma'us,  which 
was  from  'Je-ru'sa-lem  about 
threescore  ''-^furlongs. 

14  And  they  ^talked  together 
of  all  these  things  which  had 
happened. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
while  they  communed  together 
and  reasoned,  Je'sus  himself 
^drew  near,  and  went  with 
them. 

16  But  their  eyes  were  %olden 
that  they  should  not  know  him. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  manner  of  communica- 
tions are  these  that  ye  have 
one  to  another,  as  ye  walk,  and 
are  sad  ? 

18  And  the  one  of  them,  whose 
name  was  Cle'o-pjls,  answering 
said  unto  him,  Art  thou  only  a 
stranger  in  'Je-rii'sa-lem,  and 
hast  not  known  the  things 
which  are  come  to  pass  there  in 
these  days  ? 

19  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  things?  And  they  said 
unto  him.  Concerning  Je'.sus 
of  ^Na'//a-reth,  whicli  was  a 
'^|)rophet  mighty  in  deed  and

peo])Ie: 

20  And  how  the  chief  "priests 
and  our  rulers  delivered  him 
to  be  contlemned  to  death,  and 
have  ''crucified  him.

been  he  which  should  have 
redeemed  I.s'ra-el:  and  beside 
all  this,  to  day  is  the  third  day 
since  these  things  were  done. 

22  Yea,  and  certain  'women 
also  of  our  company  made  us 
astonished,  which  were  early  at 
the  sepulchre; 

23  And  when  they  found  not 
his  body,  they  came,  saying,  that 
they  had  also  seen  a  "vision  of 
^angels,  which  said  that  he  was 
alive. 

24  And  certain  of  them  which 
were  with  us  went  to  the  sepul- 
chre, and  found  it  even  so  as  the 
'women  had  said:  but  him  they 
saw  not. 

25  Then  he  said  unto  them,  O 
fools,  and  *slow  of  heart  to  be- 
lieve 'all  that  the  ^prophets  have 
spoken : 

26  'Ought  not  '"Christ  to  have 
"suffered  these  things,  and  to 
"enter  into   his   glory  ? 

27  And  beginning  at  ^Mo'se.s 
and  all  the  prophets,  he  *ex- 
pounded  unto  them  in  all  the 
''scriptures  the  'things  concern- 
ing ^himself. 

28  And  they  drew  nigh  unto 
the  village,  whither  they  went: 
and  he  made  as  though  he 
would   have  gone  further. 

29  But  they  constrained  him, 
.saying,  'Abide  with  us:  for  it  is 
toward  evening,  and  the  day  is 
far  spent.  And  he  went  in  to 
tarry  with  them. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
sat  at  meat  with  them,  he  took 
bread,  and  *blessed  it,  and 
brake,  and  gave  to  them. 

31  And  their  eyes  were  "opened, 
and  they  knew  him;  and  he  van- 
ished out  of  their  sight. 

32  And  they  said  one  to  an- 
other, Did  not  our  heart  burn 
within  us,  while  he  ''talked 
with     us     by     the     way,   and 


while  he     ^opened    to    us    the 
''scriptures  ? 

33  And  they  rose  up  the  same 
hour,  and  returned  to  "' Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  found  the  ^eleven  gath- 
ered together,  and  them  that 
were  with  them, 

34  Saying,  The  Lord  is  ^risen 
indeed,  and  hath  ^appeared  to 
Si'mon. 

35  And  they  told  what  things 
were  done  in  the  way,  and  how  he 
was  known  of  them  in  breaking 
of  bread. 

36  ^  And  as  they  thus  spake, 
Je'.sus  himself  ^stood  in  the 
midst  of  them,  and  saith  unto 
them,  "Peace  be  unto  you. 

37  But  they  were  terrified  and 
affrighted,  and  supposed  that 
they  had  seen  a  spirit. 

38  And  he  said  unto  them,  Why 
are  ye  troubled  ?  and  why  do 
thoughts  arise  in  your  hearts  ? 

39  Behold  my  hands  and  my 
feet,  that  it  is  *I  myself:  handle 
me,  and  see;  for  a  spirit  hath 
not  flesh  and  bones,  as  ye  see 
me  have. 

40  And  when  he  had  thus 
spoken,  he  shewed  them  his 
hands  and  his  feet. 

41  And  while  they  yet  '^believed 
not  for  ''joy,  and  wondered,  he 
said  unto  them.  Have  ye  here 
^any  meat  ? 

42  And  they  gave  him  a  piece 
of  a  broiled  ^fish,  ^and  of  an 
'honeycomb. 

43  And  he  took  it,  and  did  *eat 
before  them. 

44  And  he  said  unto  them. 
These  are  the  words  which  I 
spake  unto  you,  while  I  was  yet 
with  you,  that  all  ''things  must 
be  fulfilled,  which  were  written 
In  the  ''law  of  Mouses,  and  in 
the  projihets,  and  in  the  psalms, 
concerning  me. 

45  Then  opened  he  their  '^un-

was  God.

3  All  things  were  'made  by

any  thing  made  that  was  made. 

4  In  him  was  ''life;  and  the  life

we  beheld  his  ^glory,  the  glory  as 
of  the  "only  begotten  of  the  ''Fa- 
ther,) '^full  of  grace  and  ''truth. 

15  Tf  *J6hn  %are  witness  of 
him,  and  cried,  saying,  This  was 
he  of  whom  I  spake,  He  that 
cometh  after  me  is  preferred  be- 
fore me:  for  he  was  before  me. 

16  And  of  his  "fulness  have  all 
we  received,  and  grace  for  grace. 

17  For  the  ''law  was  given  by 
^Mo'se.s,  but  ^grace  and  ''truth 
came  by  Je'sus  Christ. 

18  ^"No  man  hath  seen  God  at 
any  time;  the  only  begotten 
"Son,  which  is  'in  the  bosom 
of  the  ''Father,  he  hath  de- 
clared him. 

19  ^  And  this  is  the  record  of 
''John,  when  the  '"Jews  sent 
"priests  and  "Le'vites  from  ^Je- 
rii^stl-lem  to  a'^k  him.  Who  art 
thou  ? 

20  And  ''he  confessed,  and  de- 
nied not;  but  confessed,  I  am 
not  the   Christ. 

21  And  they  asked  «him.  What 
then  ?  Art  thou  ^'^-Wuh  ?  And 
he  saith,  I  am  not.  Art  thou 
that  prophet  ?  And  he  answered, 
No. 

22  Then  said  they  unto  him, 
Who  art  thou  ?  that  we  niay  give 
an  answer  to  them  that  sent  us. 
What  sayest  thou  of  thyself  ? 

23  He  said,  "I  am  ''the  voice 
of  one  crying  in  the  wilder- 
ness, Make  straight  the  way  of 
the  Ivord,  as  said  the  'prophet 
'fi-.sa'ias. 

24  And  they  which  were  sent 
were  of  the  "Pharl-see.s. 

25  And  they  asked  him,  and 
said  unto  him,  Wliy  ^baptizest 
thou  then,  if  thou  be  not  that 
Christ,  nor  ^'fi-ll'as,  neither  that 
prophet  ? 

26  "John  answered  them,  say- 
ing, I  baptize  with  water:  but 


there  standeth  ""one  among  you, 
whom  ye  know  not; 

27  "'He  it  is,  who  coming  af- 
ter me  is  preferred  before  me, 
^whose  shoe's  latchet  I  am 
^not  worthy  to  unloose. 

28  These  things  were  done  in 
^•^Beth-ab'a-ra  beyond  '^Jor'dan, 
where  ''John  was  '^baptizing. 

29  Tf  The  next  day  "JShn  seeth 
Je'.sus  coming  unto  him,  and 
saith.  Behold  the  ♦•''■^•'Lamb  of 
God,  which  "•''taketh  away  the 
sin  of  the  world. 

30  This  is  he  of  whom  I  said. 
After  me  cometh  a  man  which  is 
preferred  before  me:  for  he  was 
before  me. 

31  And  I  knew  him  not:  but 
that  he  should  be  made  mani- 
fest to  Is'ra-el,  therefore  am  *! 
come  '^baptizing  with  water. 

32  And  ''John  bare  record,  say- 
ing, I  *saw  the  Spirit  descending 
from  heaven  like  a  'dove,  and  it 
abode  upon  him. 

33  And  I  knew  him  not:  but  he 
that  sent  me  to  ^baptize  with 
water,  the  same  said  unto  me, 
Upon  whom  thou  shalt  see  the 
Spirit  descending,  and  remain- 
ing on  him,  the  same  is  he  which 
baptizeth  with  the  'Holy  ^Ghost. 

34  And  *!  saw,  and  bare  record 
that  this  is  the '"Son  of  God. 

35  Tf  Again  the  next  day  after 
''John  stood,  and  two  of  his  '^dis-

36  .\nd  looking  upon  Je'sus  as 
he  walked,  he  saith.  Behold  the

37  And  the  two  ''disciples  heard 
him  speak,  and  they  followed 
Je'.sus. 

38  Then  Je'§us  turned,  and  saw 
them  following,  and  saith  unto 
them,  What  seek  ye  ?  They  said 
unto  him,  "Rjib'bl,  (which  is  to

und  see.  They  came  and  saw 
where  he  dwelt,  and  abode  with 
him  that  day;  for  it  was  ab(iut 
the  tenth  hour. 

40  One  of  the  two  which  heard 
''John  speak,  an<l  followed  him, 
was  ^'An'drew,  Si'mon  ^Pe'ter's 
brother. 

41  ^'Ile  first  '■findeth  his  own 
brother  *Sl'mon,  and  saith  unto 
him,  *We  have  found  the  'Mes- 
si'iis,  which  is,  Ix'ing  interpreted, 
the  ''Christ. 

42  And  ^he  ^brought  him  to 
Je'.sus.  And  when  Je'sus  beheld 
liim,  he  said,  Tlum  art  *Si'mon 
the  son  of  "Jtyna:  thou  shalt  be 
called  (^e'phas,  which  is  by  in- 
terpretation, ^A  stone. 

43  ^  The  day  following  Je'sus 
would  go  fortli  into  "Gal'I-lee, 
and  findeth  '"Phil'ip,  and  saith 
unto  ^him,  ^Follow  me. 

44  Now  "ThilTp  was  of  ^Beth- 
sa'i-da,  the  city  of  ^An'drew  and 
^Pe'ter. 

45  "Thil'ip  findeth  ^Na-than'- 
a-el,  and  "saith  unto  him,  We 
have  found  him,  of  ''whom  "jNId'- 
se.s  in  the  ''law,  and  the  ''proph- 
ets, did  write,  Je'.sus  of  ^Naz'a- 
reth,  the  son  of  ^Jo'.seph. 

4G  And  "Nri-thiin'a-el  said  un- 
to him,  ''Can  there  any  good 
thing  come  out  of  *Naz'a-reth? 
'Phil'ip  saith  unto  him,  Come 
and  see. 

47  Je'.sus  saw  «'Na-than'a-el 
coming  to  him,  and  saith  of  him, 
Behold  an  Is'ra-el-Ite  indeed,  'in 
whom  is  "no  guilel 

48  "Na-than'a-el  saith  unto 
him,  Whence  knowest  thou  me  ? 
Je'sus  answered  and  sjiid  unto 
him.  Before  that  ^PhilTp  called 


thee,  when  thou  Mast  under  the 
^fig  tree,  I  ^saw  thee. 

49  "Nji-than'a-el  answered  and 
"saith  unto  him,  "'Rab'bl,  "thou 
art  the  "Son  of  Gk)d;  thou  art  the 
''King  of  Is'ra-el. 

50  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  Because  I  said  unto 
thee,  I  'saw  thee  under  the  ^fig 
tree,  believest  thou  ?  thou  shalt 
see  greater  things  than  these. 

51  And  he  *saith  unto  him, 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
Hereafter  ye  sliall  see  heaven 
open,  and  the  ''angels  of  God

CHAPTER  2 

■Jesus  at  Cana  turns  water  into  wine.  13 
He  goes  up  to  Jerusalem,  arul  drives 
the  traders  out  of  the  temple.  18  He  fore- 
tells his  own  death,  and  resurrection,  23 
Many  believe  on  him. 

AND  the  third  day  there  was 
a  "marriage  in  *Ca'na  of 
''Gal'i-lee;  and  the  ''•^mother  of 
Je'.sus  was  there: 

2  And  both  Je'sus  was  called, 
and  his  Misciples,  to  the  "mar- 
riage. 

3  And  when  they  wanted  'wine, 
the  '^•''mother  of  Je'sus  saith  un- 
to him.  They  have  no  wine. 

4  Je'§us saith  unto  her.  Woman, 
what  have  I  to  do  with  thee  ? 
mine  h(jur  is  not  yet  come. 

5  His  '''''mf)ther  saith  unto  the 
servants.  Whatsoever  he  saith 
unto  you,  do  ii. 

6  And  there  were  set  there  six 
waterpots  of  stone,  after  the 
manner  of  the  "purifying  of  the 
Jew.s,  containing  two  or  three 
''firkins  aj)iece. 

7  Je'sus  saith  unto  them,  Fill 
the  waterpots  with  '^water.  And 
they  filled  them  up  to  the  brim.

3:  4 


8  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
Draw  out  now,  and  bear  unto 
the  governor  of  the  'feast.  And 
they  bare  it. 

9  When  the  ruler  of  the  'feast 
had  tasted  the  '^water  that  was 
*made  'wine,  and  knew  not 
whence  it  was:  (but  the  servants 
which  drew  the  water  knew;)  the 
governor  of  the  feast  called  the 
bridegroom, 

10  And  saith  unto  him.  Every 
man  at  the  beginning  doth  set 
forth  good  'wine;  and  when 
men  have  ^well  drunk,  then 
that  which  is  worse:  hid  thou 
hast  kept  the  good  ^vine  until 
now. 

11  This  beginning  of  ^' ^mir- 
acles did  Je'sus  in  *Ca'na  of 
^Gal'i-lee,  and  '"manifested  forth 
his  glory;  and  his  ''disciples 
''•"believed  on   him. 

12  Tf  After  this  he  went  down 
to  ''Ca-per'na-iim,  he,  and  his 
''■'^mother,  and  his  ^brethren,  and 
his  Misciples:  and  they  contin- 
ued there  not  many  days. 

13  Tf  And  the  ''Jew.s'  *passover 
was  at  hand,  and  Je'sus  went  up 
to  'Je-rii'sa-lem, 

14  "And  found  in  the  *'tem- 
ple  those  that  "'■  *^sold  oxen  and 
sheep  and  doves,  and  the  chang- 
ers of  money  sitting: 

15  "And  when  he  had  made  a 
scourge  of  small  cords,  he  drove 
them  all  out  of  the  ^'temple,  and 
the  sheep,  and  the  oxen;  and 
poured  out  the  changers'  money, 
and  overthrew  the  ^tables; 

16  And  said  unto  them  that 
sold  doves.  Take  these  things 
hence;  ^-^make  not  my  ^Fa- 
ther's house  an  house  of  mer- 
chandise. 

17  And  his  "disciples  remem- 
bered that  it  was  written,  The 
*''^zeal  of  thine  house  ^hath  eaten 
me  up. 

18  T[  Then  answered  the  ''Jews 
and  said  unto  him,  What  ^sign 


shewest  thou  unto  us,  seeing  that 
thou  doest  these  things  ? 

19  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  'Destroy  this  "tem- 
ple, and  in  three  days  ''I  will 
*raise  it  up. 

20  Then  said  the  ''Jews,  Forty 
and  six  years  was  this  'temple  in 
building,  and  wilt  thou  rear  it  up 
in  three  days  ? 

21  But  he  spake  of  the  ''temple 
of  his  body. 

22  When  therefore  he  was  *risen 
from  the  dead,  his  "disciples  re- 
membered that  he  had  said  this 
unto  them;  and  they  believed 
the  ^'scripture,  and  the  word 
which  Je'sus  had  said. 

23  T[  Now  when  he  was  in  'Je- 
rii'sa-lem  at  the  '"passover,  in 
the  feast  day,  many  believed  in 
his  "name,  '^wlien  they  saw  the 
"miracles  which  he  did. 

24  But  Je'sus  ^did  not  commit 
himself  unto  them,  because  he 
'knew  all  men, 

25  And  needed  not  that  any 
should  testify  of  man:  for  he 
%new  what  was  in  man. 

CHAPTER  3 

Nicodemus  comes  to  Jesus.  3  Jesus  teaches 
the  necessity  of  regeneration,  14  his  mis- 
sion and  the  love  of  the  I-'ather.  23  John 
baptizes,  27  and  testifies  that  Jesus  is  the 
Messiah. 

THERE  was  a   man    of   the 
'^PhS^r'i-sees,   named  ''Nic- 
o-de'mus,  a  ruler  of  the  ''Jews : 

2  The  same  came  to  Je',sus  ''by 
night,  and  said  unto  him,  Rjib'- 
bl,  ^we  know  that  thou  art  a 
'teacher  come  from  God:  for  no 
man  can  do  these  ^'"miracles  that 
thou  doest,  except  God  be  with 
him. 

3  Je'sus  answered  and  said  un- 
to him.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
thee,  ''Except  a  man  be  *'''^'born 
^again,  he  cannot  see  the  'king- 
dom of  God.

him,  "How  can  a  man  be  born

5  Jo'.sus  answered,  Verily,  ver- 
ily, I  say  unto  thee,  ''Except  a 
man  be  *'''*born  of  water  and  of 
the  "Spirit,  he  cannot  enter  into 
the  'kingdom  of  God. 

6  ^That  which  is  born  of  the 
flesh  is  flesh;  and  that  which  is 
born  of  the  Spirit  is  spirit. 

7  Marvel  not  that  I  said  un- 
to thee.  Ye  must  be  '■■^■'^born 
^again. 

8  ^The  ''wind  bloweth  where 
it  listeth,  and  thou  hearest  the 
sound  thereof,  but  canst  not  tell 
whence  it  cometh,  and  whither 
it  goeth:  *so  is  every  one  that  is 
born  of  the  "Spirit. 

9  *Nic-o-de'mus  answered  and 
said  unto  him,  "How  can  these 
things  be  ? 

10  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  Art  thou  ^a  master  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  "knowest  not  these 
things  ? 

11  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
thee,  We  speak  that  we  do  know, 
and  testify  that  we  have  seen; 
and  ye  'receive  not  our  witness. 

12  If  I  have  told  you  earthly 
things,  and  ye  ''believe  not,  how 
shall  ye  believe,  if  I  tell  you  of 
heavenly  things  ? 

13  And  no  man  hath  ascended 
up  to  heaven,  but  ''he  that  came 
down  from  heaven,  even  the 
"'Son  of  man  which  is  in  heaven. 

14  And  ^as  ^:M(-/sc,s  lifted  up 
the  ^'"'^serpent  in  the  wilderness, 
"^even  so  must  the  Son  of  man 
''be  lifted  up: 

15  *That  Whosoever  "believcth 
^in  him  should  not  ''perish,  but 
have  '^eternal  'life. 

16  For  God  so  *loved  the 
'world,  that  he  gave  his  only 
begotten  '"Son,  that  whosoever 
"believeth  in  him  should  not 
^perish,  but  have  everlasting 
'•'life. 

17  For  '^God  sent  not  his  '"Son 


into  the  world  to  ^condemn 
the  world;  but  "that  the  world 
through  him  might  be  "saved. 

18  He  that  "believeth  on  him 
is  not  ^condemned:  but  he  that 
''■^believeth  not  ^is  condemned 
alrcad}',  because  he  hath  not  be- 
lieved in  the  '^name  of  the  only 
begotten  '"Son  of  God. 

19  And  this  is  the  ^''condemna- 
tion,  that ''"light  is  come  into  the 
world,  and  men  "-'"loved  ^-  ^dark- 
ness rather  than  light,  because 
their  deeds  were  evil. 

20  For  every  one  that  ^doeth 
'evil  '"hateth  the  "light,  neither 
cometh  to  the  light,  lest  his  deeds 
should  be  reproved. 

21  But  he  that  "-^doeth  ^truth 
cometh  to  the  light,  that  his 
''deeds  may  be  made  manifest, 
that  they  are  wrought  in  God. 

22  ^  After  these  things  came 
Jc'sus  and  his  ''disciples  into  the 
land  of  Mu-dse'a;  and  there  he 
tarried  with  them,  and  "baptized. 

23  And  ''John  also  was  bap- 
tizing in  JE'non  near  to  Sa'lim, 
because  there  was  much  water 
there:  and  they  came,  and  were 
baptized. 

24  For  ''John  was  not  yet  cast 
into  'prison. 

25  ^  Then  there  arose  a  ques- 
tion between  some  of  John's

CHAPTER  4 

Jesus  converges  with  a  woman  of  Samaria. 
27  His  disciples  marvel.  31  The  fields 
white  for  the  harvest.  39  Manij  of  the 
Satnarilans  believe  on  him.  43  He  de- 
parts into  Galilee;  46  and  heals  a  noble- 
man's son  sick  at  Capernaum, 

WHEN  therefore  the  Lord 
knew  how  the  "Phar'I- 
see.2  had  heard  that  Je'sus  made 
and  ''baptized  more  Misciples 
than  '^John, 

2  (Though  Je'.sus  himself  *bap- 
tized  not,  but  his  Misciples,) 

3  ''He  left  Mu-dffi'a,  and  de- 
parted again  into  ''Giil'i-lee. 

4  And  he  must  needs  go 
through  *Sa-ma'ri-a. 

5  Then  cometh  *he  to  a  city 
of  ^Sa-ma'ri-a,  which   is  called 


'Sy^-char,  near  to  the  'parcel 
of  ground  that  ^Ja'cob  gave  to 
his  son  'Jo'seph. 

6  Now  ''^Ja'cob's  '"well  was 
there.  Je'sus  therefore,  being 
"wearied  with  his  journey,  sat 
thus  on  the  well:  and  it  was 
about  the  sixth  hour. 

7  There  cometh  a  woman  of 
''S?i-ma'ri-a  to  draw  water:  Je'- 
sus  saith  unto  her.  Give  me  to 
drink. 

8  (For  his  Misciples  were  gone 
away  unto  the  city  to  buy 
^meat.) 

9  Then  saith  the  woman  of 
''Sa-ma'ri-a  unto  him,  How  is 
it  that  thou,  being  a  "Jew,  ask- 
est  drink  of  me,  which  am  a 
woman  of  Sa-ma'ri-a?  for  the 
Jew.s  ^have  no  dealings  with 
the   Sa-mar'i-tans. 

10  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  her,  ^•''If  thou  knewest  the 
*gift  of  God,  and  who  it  is  that 
saith  to  thee.  Give  me  to  drink; 
thou  wouldest  have  asked  of 
him,  and  'he  would  have  given 
thee  living  'Vater. 

11  The  woman  saith  unto  him, 
Sir,  thou  hast  nothing  to  draw 
with,  and  the  well  is  deep:  from 
whence  then  hast  thou  that  liv- 
ing "water? 

12  Art  thou  greater  than  our 
father  *Ja'cob,  which  gave  us 
the  ""well,  and  drank  thereof 
himself,  and  his  children,  and 
his  cattle  ? 

13  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  her.  Whosoever  drinketh  of 
this  water  shall  thirst  again: 

14  But  ''whosoever  drinketh  of 
the  "water  that  I  shall  give  him 
shall  never  *■ '"thirst;  but  ^the 
water  that  *I  shall  give  him  shall 
be  in  him  a  well  of  water  spring- 
ing up  into  ^everlasting  ^life. 

15  The  woman  saith  unto  him, 
Sir,  give  me  this  'Vater,  that  I

16  Je'.su.s  .saith  unto  her,  Go, call 
thy  husband,  and  come  hither, 

17  The  woman  answered  and 
said,  I  have  no  husband.  Je'sus 
"said  unto  her.  Thou  hast  well 
said,  I  have  no  husband: 

IS  "For  thou  hast  had  "five  hus- 
bands; and  he  whom  thou  now 
hast  is  not  thy  husband:  in  that 
saidst  thou  truly. 

19  The  woman  saith  unto  him, 
Sir,  I  perceive  that  thou  art  a 
'■prophet. 

20  Our  fathers  '^worshipped  in 
this  ^mountain;  and  ye  say,  that 
in  ''Je-ru'sa-lem  is  the  place 
where  men  ought  to  worship. 

21  Je'sus  '^saith  unto  her, 
Woman,  believe  me,  the  hour 
Cometh,  when  ye  shall  neither 
in  this  ^mountain,  nor  yet  at  'Je- 
rii'sa-lem,  '^worship  the  "Father. 

22  Ye  '^worship  ye  know  not 
what:  we  know  what  we  wor- 
ship: for  ^salvation  is  of  the 
*Jew.3. 

23  But  the  hour  cometh,  and 
now  is,  when  the  true  worship- 
pers shall  '^■'worship  the  ''Father 
in  ^'spirit  and  in  'truth:  for  the 
Father  seeketh  such  to  worship 
him. 

24  '"God  is  a  Spirit:  and  they 
that  '^worship  him  must  worship 
him  in  ^spirit  and  in  'truth. 

25  The  woman  saith  unto  him, 
"I  know  that  "Mes-sl'as  cometh, 
which  is  called  Christ:  when  he 
is  come,  ^he  will  tell  us  all  thino^s. 

26  Je'sus  saith  unto  her,  I  that 
speak  unto  thee  am  °he. 

27  ^  And  upon  this  came  his 
''disciples,  and  marvelled  that  he 
talked  with  ^the  woman:  yet  no 
man  said.  What  seekest  thou? 
or.  Why  talkest  thou  with  her  ? 

28  The  woman  then  left  her 
waterpot,  and  went  her  way 
into  the  city,  and  'saith  to  the 
men, 

14 


29  *''Come,  see  a  man,  which 
told  me  all  things  that  ever  I  did: 
is  not  this  the  Christ  ? 

30  Then  they  went  out  of  the 
city,  and  came  unto  hun. 

31  ^  In  the  mean  while  his 
''disciples  prayed  him,  saying, 
"oSIaster,  eat. 

32  But  he  ''said  unto  them,  I 
have  meat  to  eat  that  ye  know 
not  of. 

33  Therefore  said  the  ^disciples 
one  to  another.  Hath  any  man 
[wrought  him  ought  to  eat  ? 

34  Je'sus  saith  unto  them,  ^-'"My 
meat  is  to  ^-^do  the  ^will  of  "him 
that  sent  me,  and  to  finish  his 
work. 

35  Say  not  ye,  ^There  are  yet 
four  months,  and  then  cometh 
harvest  ?  behold,  I  say  unto  you, 
Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  look  on 
the  fields;  for  they  are  white  al- 
ready to  '^harvest. 

36  And  ''he  that  reapeth  receiv- 
eth  wages,  and  gathereth  fruit 
unto  ^life  eternal:  that  both  he 
that  soweth  and  he  that  reapeth 
may  rejoice  together. 

37  And  herein  is  that  saying 
true,  One  soweth,  and  another 
reapeth. 

38  I  sent  ''you  to  reap  that 
whereon  ye  bestowed  no  labour: 
other  men  laboured,  and  ye  are 
entered  into  their  labours. 

39  ^  And  many  of  the  Sa-mS,/- 
i-tans  of  that  city  "believed  on 
him  for  the  saying  of  the  woman, 
which  ''testified.  He  told  me  all 
that  ever  I  did. 

40  So  when  the  Sa-mar'i-tan.s 
were  come  unto  him,  they  ^be- 
sought him  that  he  would  tarry 
with  them:  and  he  abode  there 
two  days. 

41  And  many  more  "believed 
because  of  his  own  word; 

42  And  said  unto  the  woman, 
Now  we  "believe,  not  because  of 
thy  ''saying:  for  we  have  heard 
him  ourselves,   and  know  that

this  is  indeed  ^the  Christ,  the 
^Saviour  of  the  world. 

43  Tf  Now  after  two  days  he 
departed  thence,  and  went  into 
^Gal'i-lee. 

44  For  Je'sus  himself  testified, 
that  ^a  "'-"prophet  hath  no  hon- 
our in  his  own  country. 

45  Then  when  he  was  come 
into  ^"GaFi-lee,  the  G&l-i-lse'ans 
'received  him,  having  seen  all 
the  things  that  he  did  at  "Je- 
rii^sa-lem  at  the  ^feast:  for  they 
also  went  unto  the  feast. 

46  So  Je'sus  came  again  into 
*Ca'na  of  ^GaFi-lee,  where  he 
made  the  water  wine.  And  there 
was  a  certain  noljleman,  whose 
son  was  sick  at  ''Ca.-per'na-um. 

47  When  he  heard  that  Je'.sus 
was  come  out  of  *Ju-dpe'a  into 
*Gal'i-lee,  'he  "went  unto  him, 
and  "besought  him  that  he  would 
come  down,  and  heal  his  son: 
for  he  was  at  the  point  of  deadi. 

48  Then  said  Je'.sus  unto  him, 
Except  ye  see  ^'signs  and  won- 
ders, ^ye  will  not  believe. 

49  The  nobleman  ''"saith  unto 
him.  Sir,  "come  down  ere  my 
child  die. 

50  Je'.sus  saith  unto  him,  Go 
thy  way;  thy  ^son  ""Hveth.  And 
the  man  ''believed  the  word  that 
Je'sus  had  spoken  unto  him,  and 
he  went  his  way. 

51  And  as  he  was  now  going 
down,  his  servants  met  him,  and 
told  him,  saying.  Thy  son  liveth. 

52  Then  enquired  he  of  them 
the  hour  when  he  began  to 
amend.  And  they  said  unto 
him,  Yesterday  at  the  seventh 
hour  the  fever  left  him. 

53  So  the  father  knew  that  it 
was  at  the  same  hour,  in  the 
which  Je'.sus  said  unto  him.  Thy

lieved, and  his  whole  house. 

54  This  is  again   the   second 


^•"'miracle  that  Je'sus  did,  when 
he  was  come  out  of  *Ju-d8e'a 
into  ^"Gal'i-lee. 

CHAPTER  5 

The  pool  of  Bcthesda.  h  x\n  impotent  man 
healed  on  the  Sabbath.  10  The  Jews  find 
fault.  17  Jesus  answers  them,  declaring 
himself  to  be  the  Son  of  God;  32  and  prov- 
ing it  by  the  testimony  of  John,  36  by  his 
Works,  37  and  by  the  witness  of  the  Father 
in  the  Scriptures. 

AFTER  this  there  was  a  "feast 
of  the  ''Jews;  and  Je'.sus 
went  up  to  ^Je-rii'sa-lem. 

2  Now  there  is  at  "^Je-ru'sfi-lem 
by  the  '^sheep  ^market  a  '^pool, 
which  is  called  in  the  'He'brew 
''tongue  Be-th&'da,  having  five 
porches. 

3  In  these  lay  a  great  multitude 
of  ''impotent  folk,  of  ^blind,  halt, 
withered,  ^waiting  for  the  mov- 
ing of  the  water. 

4  ^For  an  'angel  went  down  at 
a  certain  season  into  the  ^pool, 
and  troubled  the  water:  whoso- 
ever then  first  after  the  troubling 
of  the  water  stepped  in  was  made 
whole  of  whatsoever  ''disease  he 
had. 

5  And  a  certain  man  was  there, 
which  had  an  *infirmity  thirty 
and  eight  years. 

6  When  Je'.sus  saw  him  lie,  and 
knew  that  he  had  been  now  a 
long  time  in  that  case,  he  *saith 
unto  him,  Wilt  thou  be  made 
whole  ? 

7  The  *impotent  man  answered 
him,  Sir,  I  have  no  man,  when 
the  water  is  troubled,  to  put  me 
into  the  ^pool:  but  while  I  am 
coming,  another  steppeth  down 
before  me. 

8  Je'sus  saith  unto  him,  Rise, 
take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

9  And  immediately  the  man 
was  made  '•'"whole,  and  took  up 
his  bed,  and  walked:  and  on  die 
same  day  was  the  "sabbath. 

10  Tf  The  *Jew.s  therefore  said 
unto  him  that  was  cured,  It  is

tlie  "sabbath  day:  it  is  not  lawful 
for  thee  to  carry  thy  bed. 

11  He  answered  them,  He  that 
made  me  ^-'"whole,  the  same  said 
unto  me,  Take  up  thy  bed,  and 
walk. 

12  Then  asked  they  him.  What 
man  is  that  which  said  unto  thee. 
Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk  ? 

13  And  he  that  was  healed  h\\si 
not  who  it  was:  for  Je'.sus  had 
conveyed  himself  away,  a  multi- 
tude beino^  in  that  place. 

14  Afterward  Je'.sus  findeth 
him  in  the  "temple,  and  said  un- 
to him.  Behold,  thou  art  made 
whole:  sin  no  more,  lest  a  worse 
^tiling  come  unto  thee. 

15  The  man  departed,  and  ^told 
the  *Jews  that  it  was  Je'sus, 
which  had  made  him  '•'"whole. 

16  And  therefore  did  the  ^Jew§ 
'■persecute  Je'sus,  "and  ^sought 
to  slay  him,  because  he  had  done 
these  things  on  the  "sabbath  day. 

17  T[  But  Je'sus  answered  them, 
]My  'Father  worketh  hitherto, 
and  "I  work. 

18  Therefore  the  ^'Jews  ^sought 
the  more  to  kill  him,  because  he 
not  only  had  broken  the  "sab- 
bath, but  said  also  that  God  was 
"'•^his  'Father,  making  himself 
^equal  with  God. 

19  T[  Then  answered  Je'sus  and 
said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  you,  The  '"'^Son  can 
do  nothing  of  himself,  but  what 
he  seeth  tlie  'Father  do:  for 
what  things  soever  he  doeth, 
these  also  doeth  the  Son  like- 
wise. 

20  For  the  'Father  ^/loveth  the 
"'•^Son,  and  sheweth  him  all 
things  that  himself  doeth:  and 
he  will  shew  him  greater  works 
than  these,  that  ye  may  marvel. 

21  For  as  the  'Father  raiseth  up 
the  dead,  and  Vpiickeneth  them; 
even  so  the  "Son  quickeneth 
whom  he  will. 

22  For  the  ^Father  judgeth  no 


man,    but   hath   committed   all 
judgment  unto  the  '^'''Son: 

23  That  all  vien  should  honour 
the  '^Son,  even  as  they  honour 
the  ^Father.  He  that  honouretli 
not  the  '^Son  honouretli  not  the 
"Father  which  hath  sent  him. 

24  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
He  that  heareth  my  ^"'word,  and 
^'''believeth  on  him  that  sent  me, 
^hath  'everlasting  life,  and  ''•  ^shall 
not  come  into  condemnation; 
but  is  'passed  from  '"death  unto 
life. 

25  Verily,  verily,  I  say  vmto  you. 
The  hour  is  coming,  and  now  is, 
when  the  dead  shall  hear  the 
voice  of  the  "Son  of  God:  and 
*they  that  hear  shall  live. 

26  For  as  the  ''Father  hath  life 
in  himself;  so  hath  he  given  to 
the  "Son  to  have  life  in  himself; 

27  And  hath  given  him  ^au- 
thority to  execute  judgment  al- 
so, because  he  is  the  ^Son  of 
man. 

28  Marvel  not  at  this:  for  the 
hour  is  coming,  in  the  which  ''all 
that  are  in  the  'graves  shall  hear 
his  voice, 

29  'And  shall  ''come forth;  ''they 
that  have  "done  good,  unto  the 
resurrection  of  'life;  and  they 
that  have  done  evil,  unto  the 
resurrection  of  ^•''"'  ^damnation. 

30  ^I  can  of  mine  own  self  do 
nothing:  as  I  hear,  I  judge:  and 
^my  judgment  is  "just;  because 
*I  seek  '^not  mine  own  will,  but 
the  ''will  of  ^the  ^Father  which 
hath  sent  me. 

31  If  I  bear  witness  of  myself, 
my  witness  is  not  true. 

32  There  is  ''another  that  bear- 
eth  witness  of  "me;  and  I  know 
that  the  witness  which  he  wit- 
nesseth  of  me  is  true.

CHAPTER  6 


Jesus  passes  over  the  Sea  of  Galilee;  5  and 
feeds  five  thousand  men  with  five  loaves 
and  two  fishes.  15  He  walks  on  the  sea. 
22  The  people  follow  him  to  Capernaum. 
26  He  reproves  their  carnal  motives;  30 
and  declares  himself  to  be  the  bread  of 
life.  66  Many  of  his  disciples  walk  no 
more  with  liim.     68  Peter  confesses  him. 

AFTER   these   things   Je'sus 
went  over  the  °sea  of  Gal'i- 
lee,  which  is  the  sea  of  ^Pi-be'ri-as. 

2  And  *a  great  multitude  fol- 
lowed him,  because  they  ^saw 
his  '^•''miracles  which  he  did  on 
them  that  were  diseased. 

3  And  Je'§us  went  up  into  a 
mountain,  and  there  he  sat  with 
his  ''disciples. 

4  And  the  'passover,  a  feast  of 
the  Jews,  was  nigh. 

5  "When  Je'sus  then  lifted  up 
his  eyes,  and  saw  a  great  com- 
pany come  unto  him,  he  saith 
unto  '^Phil'ip,  Whence  shall  we 
buy  bread,  that  these  may  eat  ? 

6  And  this  he  said  to  *prove 
him:  for  he  himself  knew  what 
he  would  do. 

7  ''Phil'Tp  answered  him,  Two 
hundred  pennyworth  of  bread 
is  not  sufficient  for  them,  that 
every  one  of  them  may  take  a 
little. 

8  One  of  his  disciples,  'An'- 
drew,  Si'mon  ^Pe'ter's  brother, 
saith  unto  him, 

9  There  is  a  lad  here,  which 
hath  five  'barley  '"loaves,  and 
two  small  ''fishes:  but  what  are 
they  among  so  many  ? 

10  And  Je'sus  said.  Make  the 
men  sit  down.  Now  there  was 
much  grass  in  the  place.  So 
tlie  men  sat  down,  in  number 
about  five  thousand. 

11  And  Je'.sus  took  the  '"loaves; 
and  when  he  had  "given  ^thanks, 
he  distributed  "to  the  ''disciples, 
and  the  disciples  to  them  that 
were  set  down;  and  likewise  of 
the  "fishes  as  much  as  they 
would. 

12  When  they  were  filled,  he 
*said  unto  his  disciples,  Gather  I

up  the  fragments  that  remain, 
that  nothing  be   lost. 

13  Therefore  they  gathered 
them  together,  and  filled  twelve 
'^baskets  with  the  fragments  of 
the  five  barley  loaves,  which  re- 
mained over  and  above  unto 
them  that  had  eaten. 

14  ^  Then  those  men,  when 
they  had  seen  the  ^•'^miracle  that 
Je'sus  did,  said.  This  is  of  a 
truth  that  *prophet  that  should 
come  into  the  world. 

15  When  Je'sus  therefore  per- 
ceived that  *they  would  come 
and  take  him  by  force,  to  make 
him  a  king,  he  departed  again 
into  a  mountain  him.self  alone. 

16  ^  And  when  even  was  noto 
come,  his  ''disciples  went  down 
imto  the  "sea, 

17  And  entered  into  a  %hip, 
and  went  over  the  sea  toward 
'Ca-per'na-iim.  And  it  was  now 
dark,  and  Je'sus  was  not  come 
to  them. 

18  And  the  sea  arose  by  reason 
of  a  great  wind  that  blew. 

19  So  when  they  had  rowed 
about  five  and  twenty  or  thirty 
"furlongs,  they  see  ''Je'.sus  walk- 
ing on  the  sea,  and  drawing  nigh 
unto  the  ship:  and  they  were 
afraid. 

20  But  he  saith  unto  them.  It  is 
I;  be  not  afraid. 

21  Then  they  willingly  received 
him  into  the  ship:  and  immedi- 
ately the  ship  was  at  the  land 
whither  they  went. 

22  \  The  day  following,  when 
the  people  which  stood  on  the 
other  side  of  the  sea  saw  that 
there  was  none  other  boat  there, 
save  ^that  one  Svhereinto  his 
''disciples  were  entered,  and  that 
Je'sus  went  nr)t  with  his  di.scif)les 
into  the  boat,  but  that  his  disci- 
ples were  gone  away  alone; 

23  (Howbeit  there  came  other 


boats  from  It-be'rT-as  nigh  unto 
the  place  where  they  did  eat 
bread,  after  that  the  Lord  had 
"given  ^thanks:) 

24  "When  the  people  therefore 
saw  that  Je'sus  was  not  there, 
neither  his  ''disciples,  they  also 
took  shipping,  and  came  to  'Ca- 
per'na-um,  seeking  for  Je'sus. 

25  And  when  they  had  found 
him  on  the  other  side  of  the  sea, 
they  said  unto  him,  "'Rab'bl, 
when  camest  thou  hither? 

26  Je'sus  answered  them  and 
said.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  ^Ye  seek  me,  ^not  because 
ye  saw  ^the  ^miracles,  but  be- 
cause ye  did  eat  of  the  loaves, 
and  were  filled. 

27  "Labour  not  for  the  meat 
which  perisheth,  but  for  that 
'"''^meat  which  endureth  unto 
'^everlasting  life,  *which  the  Son 
of  man  shall  give  unto  you: 
for  -'him  hath  God  the  "Father 
''sealed. 

28  Then  said  they  unto  him, 
What  shall  we  do,  that  we  might 
work  the  works  of  God  ? 

29  Je'§us  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  *This  is  the  work  of 
God,  that  ye  %elieve  on  him 
whom  he  hath  sent. 

30  They  ^said  therefore  unto 
liim,  What  sign  shewest  thou 
then,  that  we  niay  see,  and 
believe  thee  ?  what  dost  thou 
work  ? 

31  Our  fathers  did  eat^'^'-^man- 
na  in  the  desert;  as  it  is  writ- 
ten, "He  gave  them  ^bread  from 
heaven  to  eat. 

32  Tlien  Je'sus  said  unto  them, 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
'Md'se.s  gave  you  not  that  bread 
from  heaven;  but  my  "Father 
giveth  you  the  true  ''■''bread  from 
heaven. 

33  For  the  "-^bread  of  God  is 
he  which    cometh    down    from

the  world. 

34  Then  'said  they  unto  him, 
Lord,  evermore  give  us  this 
"' ''bread. 

35  And  Je'sus  said  unto  them, 
I  am  the  ''' "bread  of  life:  he 
that  Cometh  to  me  shall  never 
'^hunger;  and  he  that  'believetli 
on  me  shall  never  "'thirst. 

36  But  I  said  unto  you,  That 
^ye  also  have  seen  me,  and  ^be- 
lieve not. 

37  All  that  the  father  "giveth 
me  shall  come  to  me;  and 
ft.c.dj^jo^  |-j^^j.  Cometh  to  me  I  will 

in  no  wise  cast  out. 

38  For  ''I  came  down  from 
heaven,  ^not  to  do  mine  own 
will,  but  ^the  "will  of  him  that 
sent  me. 

39  And  this  is  the  ^Father's 
''will  which  hath  sent  me,  that  of 
all  which  he  hath  "given  me  I 
should  lose  nothing,  but  ^should 
*'^rai.se  it  up  again  at  the  last 
flay. 

40  And  this  is  the  will  of  him 
that  sent  me,  that  every  one 
which  seeth  the  "'Son,  and  "be- 
lieveth  on  him,  ''may  have  'ever- 
lasting "life:  and  '^I  will  'raise 
him  up  at  the  last  day. 

41  The  Jew.s  then  ^murmured 
at  him,  because  he  said,  I  am  the 
*bread  which  came  down  from 
heaven. 

42  And  they  said.  Is  not  this 
Je'.sus,  the  son  of  Jo'.seph,  whose 
father  and  mother  we  know  ? 
how  is  it  then  that  he  ''saith,  I 
came  down  from  heaven  ? 

43  Je'.sus  therefore  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  Murmur 
not  among  yourselves. 

44  No  man  can  come  to  me,  ex- 
cept the  Father  which  hath  sent 
me  draw  him;  and  ^I  will  '^rai.se 
him  up  at  the  last  day. 

45  It  is  written  in  the  'prophets, 
"And  they  shall  be  all  ''taught  of 
"'God.  Every  man  therefore  that 


hath  heard,  and  hath  ^learned  of 
the  Father,  cometh  unto  me. 

46  ^Not  that  any  man  hath  seen 
the  Father,  save  ^he  Avhich  is  ^of 
God,  °he  hath  seen  the  Father. 

47  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  He  that  ''believeth  on  me 
hath  '^everlasting  ''life. 

48  I  am  that  ^bread  of  ^ife. 

49  Your  fathers  did  eat  ''manna 
in  the  wilderness,  and  are  dead. 

50  This  is  the  '^■''bread  which 
cometh  down  from  heaven,  that 
a  man  may  eat  thereof,  and  not 
"die. 

51  T  am  the  living  '^bread  which 
came  down  from  heaven:  if  any 
man  eat  of  this  bread,  he  shall 
'^•''live  for  ever:  and  the  bread 
that  I  Avill  '■'^'give  is  my  flesh, 
which  I  will  ^■'^"give  for  the  'life 
of  the  world. 

52  The  Jews  therefore  strove 
among  themselves,  "'saying,  How 
can  this  man  give  us  his  flesh  to 
eat  ? 

53  Then  Je'.sus  said  unto  them, 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
Except  ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
Son  of  man,  and  drink  his  "blood, 
ye  have  no  ^life  in  you. 

54  Whoso  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  "blood,  "hath  '^eter- 
nal ''life;  and  ^I  will  'raise  him 
uji  at  the  last  day. 

55  For  my  flesh  is  meat  indeed, 
and  my  "blood  is  drink  indeed. 

56  He  that  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  "blood,  ''dwelleth  in 
me,  and  I  in  him. 

57  As  the  living  'Father  hath 
'sent  me,  and  I  live  by  the  Fa- 
ther: so  he  that  eateth  me,  even 
he  shall  ^-"live  by  me. 

58  This  is  that  ''bread  which 
came  down  from  heaven:  not  as 
your  fathers  did  eat  "manna,  and 
are  dead:  he  that  eateth  of  this 
bread  shall  ''live  for  ever. 

59  These  things  said  he  in  the 
"synagogue,  as  he  *"■ '''taught  in

61  ^Yhen  Je'sus  knew  in  him-

this  ^offend  you  ?

you,  they  are  spirit,  and  thei/  are

64  But  there  are  some  of  you

who  should  betray  him. 

65  And  he  said,  Therefore  said

66  ^  From  that  time  many  of

^walked  no  more  with  him. 

67  Then  said  Je'.sus  unto  the 
'twelve.  Will  ye  also  go  away  ? 

68  Then  Si'mon  "'Pe'ter  an-

not  I  chosen  you  'twelve,  and 
one  of  you  is  a  devil  ? 

71  He  spake  of  ^^'^Ju'das  Is-

it  was  that  should  'betray  him,

CHAPTER  7 

Jesus  in  Galilee  reproves  his  own  brethren: 
10  goes  up  to  the  feast  of  tabernacles; 
14  and  teaches  in  the  temple.  40  What 
the  people  think,  of  Jesus.  45  The  officers 
sent  to  take  him  return  without  him.  5o 
Nicodemus  takes  his  part. 

AFTER  these  things  Je'.sus 
walked  in  '^Gal'i-lee:  for 
he  would  not  walk  in  ''Jew'ry, 
because  the  '^Jews  ''•''sought  to 
kill  him. 

2  ^  ^Now  the  Jews'  feast  of 
"•''tabernacles  was  at  hand. 

3  *His  brethren  therefore  *said 
unto  him.  Depart  hence,  and  go 
into  *  Ju-dai'a,  that  thy  'disciples 
also  may  see  the  '"works  that 
thou  doest. 

4  For  there  is  no  man  that  doeth 
any  thing  in  secret,  and  he  him- 
self seeketh  to  be  known  openly. 
If  thou  do  these  '"things,  shew 
thyself  to  the  world. 

5  For  'hieither  did  his  brethren 
believe  in  him. 

6  Then  Je'sus  said  unto  them.

My  time  is  not  yet  come:  but 
your  time  is  alway  ready. 

7  The  world  cannot  "hate  you; 
but  me  it  hateth,  because  I  ^tes- 
tify of  it,  that  the  works  thereof 
are  evil. 

8  Go  ye  up  unto  this  "-''feast:  I 
go  not  up  yet  unto  this  feast;  for 
my  time  is  not  yet  full  come. 

9  When  he  had  said  these  words 
unto  them,  he  abode  still  in 
"Gai'i-lee. 

10  ^  But  when  his  ^Ijrethren 
were  gone  up,  then  went  he  also 
up  unto  the  "feast,  'not  openly, 
but  as  it  were  in  secret. 

11  Then  the  Jews  sought  him 
at  the  "feast,  and  said,  Where 
is  he? 

12  And  there  was  much  mur- 
muring among  the  people  con- 
cerning him:  for  some  said,  '^He 
is  a  good  man:  others  said,  Nay; 
but  %e  deceiveth  the  people. 

13  Howbeit  no  man  spake 
openly  of  him  for  fear  of  the 
"^Jews. 

14  ^  Now  about  the  midst  of 
the  "feast  Je'.sus  went  up  into  the 
*temple,  and  ''"taught. 

15  And  the  ''Jews  marvelled, 
saying.  How  "knoweth  this  man 
letters,  having  never  learned? 

16  Je'sus  answered  them,  and 
said.  My  *'Moctrine  is  not  mine, 
but  "'his  that  sent  me. 

17  If  any  man  ^'^will  do  his 
^will,  he  shall  *know  of  the 
*'Moctrine,  whether  it  be  of 
God,  or  whether  I  speak  of  my- 
self. 

18  He  that  "speaketh  of  himself 
seeketh  his  own  glory:  but  he 
that  *seeketh  his  glory  that  '^sent 
him,  the  same  is  '^true,  and  ''no 
unrighteousness  is  in  him.

eth  the  law  ?  Why  ''go  ye  about 
to  kill  me  ? 

20  The  people  answered  and 
'said,  Thou  hast  a  ^ devil:  who 
''goeth  about  to  kill  thee  ? 

21  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  I  have  done  one 
work,  and  ye  all  marvel. 

22  ^Mo^ses  therefore  gave  un- 
to you  '''circumcision;  (not  be- 
cause it  is  of  ISIo'scs,  but  of  the 
fathers;)  and  ye  on  the  'sabbath 
day  circumcise  a  man. 

23  If  a  man  on  the  'sabbath  day 
receive  ''circumcision,  that  the 
'law  of  Mo'.ses  should  not  be 
broken;  '"are  ye  "angry  at  me, 
because  I  have  made  a  man  ev- 
ery whit  "whole  on  the  sabbath 
day  ? 

24  ^- 'Judge  not  according  to 
the  appearance,  but  '-'^judge 
"righteous  judgment. 

25  Then  said  some  of  them 
of  'Je-rii'sa-lem,  Is  not  this  he, 
whom  they  ''■"seek  to  kill  ? 

2G  But,  lo,  he  speaketh  ^boldly, 
and  they  say  nothing  unto  him. 
Do  the  rulers  know  indeed  that 
this  is  the  very  Christ  ? 

27  Howbeit  we  know  this  man 
whence  he  is:  but  when  Christ 
Cometh,  no  man  knoweth  whence 
he  is. 

28  Then  cried  Je'sus  in  the 
"temple  as  he  "'taught,  saying, 
Ye  both  know  me,  and  ye  know 
whence  I  am :  and  I  am  not  come 
of  myself,  but  ^he  that  sent  me  is 
true,  whom  ye  ^know  not. 

29  But  ^I  know  him:  for  I  am 
from  him,  and  he  hath  sent  me. 

30  Then  they  "^sought  to  take 
him:  but  no  man  laid  hands  on 
him,  because  his  hour  was  not 
yet  come.

31  And  '"many  of  the  people 
'■''believed  on  him,  and  said, 
\Yhen  Christ  cometh,  will  he  do 
more  ^miracles  than  these  wliich 
this  man  hath  done? 

32  H  The  *Pliar^-see.s  heard 
that  the  people  murmured  such 
things  concerning  him;  and  the 
Phar'i-see.s  and  the  chief  ^])riests 
sent  officers  to  taive  him. 

33  Then  "said  Je'.sus  unto 
them,  Yet  a  little  while  am  I 
with  you,  and  then  ''I  go  unto 
him   that  sent  me. 

34  'Ye  shall  seek  me,  and  Ashall 
not  find  me:  and  where  I  am, 
'thither  ye  cannot  come. 

35  I'hen  ^said  the  Jews  among 
themselves.  Whither  will  he  go, 
that  we  shall  not  find  him  ?  will 
he  go  unto  the  dispersed  among 
the  ^Gen'tlle.s,  and  teacli  the 
^Gen'tlles  ? 

36  ^'What  maimer  of  saying  is 
this  that  he  said.  Ye  shall  seek 
me,  and  shall  not  find  m.e:  and 
where  I  am,  thither  ye  cannot 
come  ? 

37  T[  In  the  last  day,  that  great 
day  of  the  '"feast,  Je'.sus  stood 
and  cried,  saying.  If  any  man 
"thirst,  let  him  come  unto  "me, 
and  drink. 

38  ^-^He  that  '^believeth  on  me, 
as  the  scripture  hath  said,  out 
of  his  *bc]ly  shall  flow  'rivers  of 
living  "water. 

39  (But  this  spake  he  of  the 
"Spirit,  which  they  that  believe 
on  him  should  receive:  for  the 
"Holy  (Thost  was  not  yet  given; 
because  that  Je'sus  was  not  yet 
'"glorified.) 

40  Many  of  tlie  p(>ople  tlH>re- 
fore,  Avhen  they  heard  this  say- 
ing, said,  Of  a  truth  this  is  the 
^Prophet. 

41  Others  said,  This  is  the 
"Christ.  But  some  ^said.  Shall 
C'lirlst  come  out  of  '^Crtil'T-lce  ? 

42  Hath  not  the   *''^scrii)ture 


said.  That  ''Christ  cometh  of 
the  seed  of  ''Da'vid,  and  out  of 
the  town  of  ''Beth'le-hem,  Avhere 
Da'vid  was  ? 

43  So  there  was  a  division 
among  the  })eople  because  of 
him. 

44  And  some  of  them  would 
have  taken  him;  l)Ut  no  man  laid 
hands  on  him. 

45  ^  Then  came  the  officers  to 
the  chief  "priests  and  ''Phar'i- 
see.s;  and  they  said  unto  them, 
Why  have  ye  not  brought  him  ? 

46  The  officers  answered, 
Never  man  'spake  like  this 
man, 

47  Then  answered  them  the 
''Phar'i-see.s,  Are  ye  also  de- 
ceived ? 

48  Have  any  of  the  rulers  or 
of  the  ''Phar'i-see.s  believed  on 
him? 

49  But  this  people  who  %now- 
etli  not  the  ^'law  are  cursed. 

50  'Nic-o-de'mus  saith  unto 
them,  (he  that  came  to  ^Je'sus 
by  night,  being  one  of  them,) 

51  Doth  our  ^law  judge  aiiy 
man,  before  it  ^hear  him,  and 
know  what  he  doeth  ? 

52  They  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  Art  thou  also  of 
"Gal'ilee  ?  Search,  and  look: 
for  out  of  Gal'i-lee  ariseth  no 
prophet.

sees  brought  unto  him  a  ''woman 
taken  in  ^adultery;  and  when 
they  had  set  her  in  the  midst, 

4  They  say  unto  him,  Master, 
this  ''woman  was  taken  in  '■adul- 
tery, in  the  very  act. 

5  Now  jNIo'.se.s  in  the  %w  com- 
manded us,  that  ''^such  should  be 
'-'"stoned:  but  what  sayest  thou  ? 

6  This  they  "said,  tempting 
him,  that  they  might  have  to 
accuse  him.  But  Je'sus  stooped 
down,  and  with  his  finger  wrote 
on  the  ground,  ^as  though  he 
heard  them  not. 

7  So  "when  they  continued 
asking  him,  he  lifted  up  himself, 
and  "said  unto  them,  He  that  is 
without  ^sin  among  you,  let  him 
first  cast  a  stone  at  her. 

8  And  again  he  stooped  down, 
and  wrote  on  the  ground. 

9  And  they  which  heard  it, 
^being  ^convicted  by  their  otvn 
''conscience,  went  out  one  by 
one,  beginning  at  the  eldest,  eveyi 
unto  the  last:  and  Je^sus  was  left 
alone,  and  the  ''woman  standing 
in  the  midst. 

10  ^When  Je'sus  had  lifted  up 
himself,  and  saw  none  but  the 
woman,  he  said  unto  her.  Wo- 
man, where  are  those  thine  ac- 
cusers ?  hath  no  man  condemned 
thee  ? 

11  She  said,  No  man.  Lord. 
And  Je^sus  said  unto  her,  '''Nei- 
ther do  I  condemn  thee:  go,  and 
sin  no  more. 

12  ^  Then  spake  Je'sus  again 
unto  them,  saying,  "I  am  the 
"light  of  the  world:  "'•^he  that 
followeth  me  shall  not  walk  in 
^' ^darkness,  but  shall  have  the 
"light  of  life. 

13  *The  'Thar'i-sees  therefore 
said  unto  him,  Thou  bearest  re- 
cord of  thyself;  thy  record  is  not 
true. 

14  Je'.sus  answered  and  said  un- 
to them.  Though  I  bear  record 
of  myself,  yet  my  record  is  true: 


for  I  know  whence  I  came,  and 
whither  I  go;  but  '^ye  cannot  tell 
whence  I  come,  and  whither  I  go. 

15  '^Ye  judge  after  the  flesh;  I 
judge  no  man. 

16  And  yet  if  I  judge,  my  judg- 
ment is  true:  for  I  am  not  alone, 
but  ^I  and  the  'Father  that  ^sent 
me. 

17  It  is  also  written  in  your 
''law,  that  the  testimony  of  two 
men  is  true. 

18  I  am  one  that  bear  witness 
of  myself,  and  the  ''Father  that 
''sent  me  beareth  witness  of  '^me. 

19  Then  said  they  unto  him, 
AVhere  is  thy  Tather?  Je'sus 
answered.  Ye  ''neither  know  me, 
nor  my  Father:  if  ye  had  known 
me,  ye  should  have  known  my 
Father  also. 

20  These  words  spake  Je'.sus  in 
the  treasury,  as  he  '•''^taught  in 
the  'temple:  and  no  man  laid 
hands  on  him;  for  his  hour  was 
not  yet  come. 

21  Then  said  Je'sus  again  unto 
them,  I  go  my  way,  and  '"ye  shall 
seek  me,  and  shall  "die  in  your 
sins:  whither  I  go,  "ye  cannot 
come. 

22  "Then  said  the  ^Jewg,  Will 
he  *kill  himself?  because  he 
saith.  Whither  I  go,  "ye  cannot 
come. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye 
are  from  beneath;  I  am  from 
above:  ye  are  of  this  world;  I  am 
not  of  this  world. 

24  I  said  therefore  unto  you, 
that  ye  shall  "die  in  your  sins: 
for  if  '^ye  'believe  not  that  I  am 
he,  ye  shall  "die  in  your  sins. 

25  Then  said  they  unto  him, 
Who  art  thou  ?  And  Je'sus  saith 
unto  them.  Even  the  same  that  I 
said  unto  you  from  the  beginning. 

26  I  have  many  things  to  'say 
and  to  judge  of  you:  but  he  that 
sent  me  is  "true;  and  I  speak  to 
the  world  those  'things  which  I 
have  heard  of  him.

27  They  '^understood  not  that 
he  spake  to  them  of  the  ''Father. 

28  Then  saitl  Je'sus  unto  them, 
^^hen  ye  have  '^lifted  up  the  Son 
of  man,  then  shall  ye  know  that 
I  am  he,  and  that  I  do  nothing  of 
myself;  but  as  my  ''Father  hath 
taught  me,  I  'speak  these  things. 

29  And  he  that  "sent  me  is  with 
me:  ^the  ^Fatlier  hath  not  left 
me  alone;  for  I  "'■Mo  always 
those  things  that  please  him. 

30  As  he  spake  these  words, 
^many  ^believed  on  him. 

31  Then  said  Je'sus  to  those 
Jew.s  which  ^believed  on  him,  If 
"ye  ^continue  in  my  '^word,  then 
are  ye  my  '^disciples  indeed; 

32  And  "ya  shall  ''know  the 
"truth,  and  '^the  truth  shall  make 
you  ''free, 

33  They  ^answered  him,  We  be 
'A'bra-ham's  seed,  and  '^were 
never  in  bondage  to  any  man: 
how  sayest  thou.  Ye  shall  be 
made  free  ? 

34  Je'.sus  answered  them,  Ver- 
ily, verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Who- 
soever committeth  ^sin  is  the 
^•'"■"^servant  of  sin. 

35  And  the  ''servant  abideth 
not  in  the  house  for  ever:  hut  the 
"•^Son  abideth  ever. 

36  If  the  "Son  therefore  shall 
make  you  ''free,  ^ye  shall  be  free 
indeed. 

37  I  know  that  ye  are  ^A'bra- 
ham's  seed;  but  ye  ^•''seek  to  kill 
me,  })ecause  my  ''word  hath  ''no 
place  in  you. 

38  I  speak  that  which  I  have 
seen  with  my  'Father:  and  ye  ^do 
that  which  ye  have  seen  with 
'your  father. 

39  They  answered  and  said  un- 
to him,  ^A'bra-ham  is  our  father. 
Je'sus  saitli  unto  them.  If  ye 
were  A'bra,-lia,m's  children,  ye 
would  do  the  works  of  A'bra- 
liiim. 

40  But  now  ye  ^-'seek  to  kill 
me,  a  man  that  hath  "told  you 


the  truth,  which  ''I  have  heard  of 
God:  this  did  not  A'bra-ham. 

41  Ye  do  the  deeds  of  'your  fa- 
ther. Then  said  tiiey  to  him.  We 
be  not  born  of  fornication;  we 
have  one  "Father,  even  God. 

42  Je'sus  said  unto  them.  If 
God  were  yonr  Father,  ye  would 
"love  me:  for  "'^I  proceeded 
forth  and  came  from  God;  nei- 
ther came  I  of  myself,  but  he 
sent  me. 

43  Why  do  ye  ^not  understand 
my  ^speech  ?  even  because  ye 
^cannot  hear  my  ^word, 

44  ^Ye  are  of  your  father  the 
'^devil,  and  the  "■'"lusts  of  your 
father  ye  will  do.  He  was  a 
murderer  from  the  beginning, 
and  abode  not  in  the  ''truth,  be- 
cause there  is  no  truth  in  him. 
WTien  he  speaketh  a  ''lie,  he 
speaketh  of  his  own:  for  he  is  a 
liar,  and  the  father  of  it. 

45  And  because  I  tell  you  the 
''truth,  'ye  "believe  me  not, 

46  ''Which  of  you  convinceth 
me  of  sin  ?  And  if  I  say  the 
''truth,  why  do  ye  not  believe 
me? 

47  '^He  that  is  of  God  heareth 
God's  ^words:  ye  therefore  hear 
them  not,  because  ye  are  ''^not  of 
God. 

48  Then  answered  the  ^ Jew.s, 
and  said  unto  him,  '"Say  we  not 
well  that  thou  art  a  Sa-mS-rl-tan, 
and  hast  a  ''devil  ? 

49  Je'sus  "answered,  I  have  not 
a  "devil;  but  I  honour  my  'fa- 
ther, and  ye  do  dishonour  me. 

50  And  I  "seek  not  mine  own 
glory:  there  is  one  that  seeketh 
and  ''judgeth. 

51  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
""If  a  man  keep  my  saying,  *he 
shall  never  see  'death. 

52  Then  '"said  the  Mews  unto 
him.  Now  we  know  that  thou 
hast  a  "^devil.  "A'bra-ham  is 
dead,  and  the  "prophets;  and

is  my  ^Father  that  ''lionoureth

should  say,  I  know  him  not,  I 
shall  be  a  liar  like  unto  you: 
but  I  know  him,  and  ^keep  his 
sa^-ing.

fore A'bra-ham  was,  I  am. 

59  Then  *''took  they  up  stones

them,  and  so  passed  by. 

CHAPTER  9 

A  man  born  blind  is  healed.  13  The  Phari- 
sees are  offended,  and  cast  him  out.  3.") 
Jesus  receives  him.  39  Those  whom  Je- 
sus cams  to  enliuhien. 

AND  as  Je'sTis  passed  by,  he 
saw    a    man   which    was 
"blind  from  his  birth. 

2  And  his  ^disciples  asked  him, 
saying,  ''Master,  who  did  sin, 
this  man,  or  his  parents,^  that  he 
''was  born  "blind  ? 

3  Je'sus  answered,  Neitlier 
hath  this  man  sinned,  nor  his 
parents:  *but  that  the  works  of 
God  should  be  made  manifest  in 
him. 

4  '-T  must  ''work  the  works  of 


him  that  ^sent  me,  while  it  is 
day:  the  'night  cometh,  when  no 
man  can  work. 

5  As  long  as  I  am  in  the  world, 
T  am  the  '^'' 'light  of  the  world. 

6  ^Mien  he  had  thus  spoken,  he 
spat  on  the  ground,  and  made 
'"clay  of  tJie  spittle,  and  he 
anointed  the  eyes  of  the  "blind 
man  with  the  clay, 

7  And  said  unto  him,  Go, 
wash  in  the  "pool  of  *Si-lo'am, 
(which  is  by  interpretation, 
Sent.)  He  went  his  way  there- 
fore, and  washed,  and  came 
"seeing. 

8  •[  The  neighbours  therefore, 
and  they  which  before  had  seen 
him  that  he  was  -blind,  said.  Is 
not  this  he  that  sat  and  ^begged  ? 

9  Some  said,  Tliis  is  he:  others 
said.  He  is  like  him:  hut  he  said, 
I  am  he, 

10  Therefore  said  they  unto 
him.  How  were  thine  eyes 
opened  ? 

11  He  answered  and  said,  A 
man  tliat  is  called  Je'.sus  made 
"'clay,  and  anointed  mine  eyes, 
and  said  unto  me.  Go  to  the 
"pool  of  *Si-lo'am,  and  wash: 
and  I  went  and  washed,  and  I 
"received  sight 

12  Then  said  they  unto  him. 
Where  is  he  ?  He  said,  I  know 
not. 

13  f  They  brought  to  tlie 
'Phar'i-see.s  him  that  aforetime 
was  "blind. 

14  And  it  was  the  ''sabbath  day 
when  Je'.sus  made  tlie  '"clay,  and 
"opened  his  eyes. 

15  Then  again  the  'Phar^-see.s 
also  asked  him  how  he  had  re- 
ceived his  sight.  He  said  unto 
them.  He  put  '"clay  upon  mine 
eyes,  and  I  wa.shed,  and  "do  see. 

16  Therefore  *said  some  of  the 
^Pharl-see.s,  This  man  is  not  of 
God,  because  he  keepeth  not  the

was  a  division  among  them.         28  Then  they  reviled  him,  and 
17  They  say  unto  the  blind  ,  said.  Thou  art  his  ''disciple;  but 
man  again.  What  sayest    thou    '-^e  are  '-Mo'ges'  disciples. 


of   him,    that  he    hath   opened 
thine  eyes  ?    He  '-  "said.  He  b 
a  prophet. 
18  But  the  Jews  did  not  be- 


29  We  know  that  God  ^spake 
unto  Mo'ies :  as  for  this  *^feU(/w, 
we  ^know  not  from  whenc-e  he  is. 

30  The  man  answered  and  said 


lieve    concerning  him,  that   he   unto  them,  \Miy  herein  is  a  mar- 
had  been  "^biind,  and  received  his   vellous  thing,  that  ye  '^know  not 


sight,  until  they  called  the  par- 
ents of  him  that  had  received  his 
sight. 

19  And  they  asked  them,  say- 
ing, Is  this  your  son,  who  ye  say 
was  bom  ""blind  ?  how  then  doth 
he  now  see  ? 

20  His  parents  answered  them 
and  said,  We  know  that  this  is 
our  son,  and  that  he  was  bom 
blind: 

21  But  by  what  means  he  now 
seeth,  we  know  not;  or  who  hath 
op)ened  his  eyes,  we  know  not :  he 
is  of  age:  ask  him :  he  shall  speak 
for  himself. 

22  These  icords  sp>ake  his  par-  !  teach  us 
ents,  because  they  "^feared  the ;  out. 
'Jews:  for  the  Jews  had  agreed 
already,  that  if  any  man  did 
"confess  that  he  w;\s  Christ,  he 
should  be  ^•'^■^pui  out  of  the 
'synagogue. 

23  Therefore  said  his  parents. 
He  is  of  age;  ask  him. 

24  Then  again  called  they  the 
man  that  was  "^lind,  and  'said 
unto  him.  Give  God  the  praise: 
we  know  that  this  man  is  a  sin- 


from  whence  he  is,  and  yet  he 

hath  opened  mine  eyes. 

31  Xow  we  know  that  God 
'Tieareth  not  sinners:  but  if  any 
"man  be  a  worshipper  of  God, 
and  "doeth  his  will,  him  *he 
heareth. 

32  Since  the  world  began  was  it 
not  heard  that  any  man  opened 
the  eyes  of  one  that  was  bom 
^lini 

33  If  this  man  were  not  of  God, 
he  could  do  nothing. 

34  They  answered  and  said  un- 
to him.  Thou  wast  altogether 
bom   in    sins,   and   'dost   thou 

And  rhev  '^-  'cast  him 


ner. 

25  He  answered  and  said, 
Whether  he  be  a  sinner  or  no,  I 
know  not:  one  thing  I  know, 
that,  whereas  I  was  ^lind,  now 
I  see. 

26  Then  said  they  to  him 
again.  What  did  he  to  thee? 
how  opened  he  thine  eyes  ? 


3.5  ^  Je'sus  heard  that  th^  had 
c-ast  him  out;  and  when  he  had 
found  him,  he  said  unto  him. 
Dost  thou  beheve  on  the  'Son  of 
God? 

36  He  answered  and  said.  Who 
is  he,  Lord,  that  I  might  believe 
on  him  ? 

37  And  Je'^us  said  imto  him. 
Thou  hast  both  seen  him,  and  it 
is  he  that  talketh  with  thee. 

3S  And  he  said.  Lord,  I  *be- 
lieve.   And  he  'worshipped  him. 

39  •[  And  Je'sus  said,  'For 
judgment  I  am  come  into  this 
world,  that  they  which  'see  not 
might  see;  and  that  they  whiA 
'see  might  be  made  blind. 

40  And  some  of  the  "Phar^-sees 
which  were  with  him  heard  these 


27  He  answered  them,  I  have  '  words,  and  said  unto  him.  Are 
told  you  already,  and  ye  did  not   we  blind  also  ?

CHAPTER  10 

Jesus  is  the  door,  and  the  good  shepherd.  19 
A  division  among  the  Jews  concerning 
him.  22  His  uwrks  prove  him  to  be  the 
Son  of  God.  39  He  escapes  from  the 
Jews,  and  goes  again  beyond  Jordan; 
41   where  many  believe  on  him. 

VERILY,  verily,  I  "say  unto 
you,  ''He  that  entereth  not 
hy  the  door  into  the  sheepfold, 
but  climbeth  up  some  other  way, 
the  same  is  a  ''thief  and  a  robber. 

2  But  '^he  that  entereth  in  by 
the  door  is  the  ^shepherd  of  the 
''•  ^sheep. 

3  To  him  the  porter  openeth; 
and  the  'sheep  hear  '^■^•'^his 
voice:  and  he  calleth  his  own 
sheep  by  name,  and  4eadeth 
them  out. 

4  And  when  he  putteth  forth 
his  own  'sheep,  %e  ^goeth  be- 
fore them,  and  the  sheep  follow 
him:  for  they  ^'know  his  voice. 

5  And  a  stranger  will  they  not 
follow,  but  will  flee  from  him: 
for  they  know  not  the  voice  of 
strangers. 

6  This  'Sparable  spake  Je'sus 
unto  them:  but  they  'understood 
not  what  things  they  were  which 
he  spake  unto  them. 

7  Then  said  Je'sus  unto  them 
again.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  '"I  am  the  Moor  of  the 
'sliecp. 

8  "All  that  ever  came  before 
''nae  are  '^thieves  and  robbers: 
but  the  'sheep  did  not  hear 
them. 

9  '"I  am  the  '^door:  by  *me  if 
any  man  enter  in,  ^he  shall  be 
*saved,  and  shall  go  in  and  out, 
and  find  pasture. 

10  The  ''thief  cometh  not,  but 
for  to  steal,  and  to  kill,  and  to 
destroy:  ''I  am  come  that  they 
might  have  *life,  and  that  they 
might  have  it  ^more  abundantly. 

11  I  am  the  good  '^shepherd:

also  I  must  bring,  and  they  shall

be  one  fold,  and  one  "shepherd. 

17  Therefore  doth  my  'Tather 
'love  'me,  because  "I  *lay  down

have  '"power  to  lay  it  down,  and 
I  have  power  to  take  it  again.

and  I  know  them,  and  they  fol- 
low me: 

28  And  °\  '^give  unto  them  '^eter- 
nal  ^life;  and  '^they  shall  never 
perish,  neither  shall  any  man 
pluck  them  out  of  my  hand. 

29  jNIy  '^Father,  which  gave 
ihem  me,  is  ^greater  than  all;  and 
no  man  is  able  to  pluck  thein  out 
of  my  Father's  hand. 

30  ^I  and  viij  "^Father  are  one. 

31  H  Then  the  "Jew.s  '"took  up 
stones  again  to  stone  him. 

32  Je'.sus  answered  them.  Many 
good  '^vorks  have  I  shewed  you 
from  my  '^Father;  for  which  of 
those  works  do  ye  stone  me  ? 

33  The  '^Jew.s  answered  him, 
saying,  For  a  good  work  we  stone 
thee  not;  but  for  "blasphemy; 
and  because  that  thou,  being  a 
man,  'makest  thyself  God. 

34  Je'sus  answered  them,  Is  it 
not  written  in  your  "'^law,  *I 
said,  Ye  are  gods  ? 

35  If  he  called  them  gods,  un- 
to whom  the  ^word  of  God 
came,  and  the  scripture  cannot 
be  broken; 

3G  "Say  ye  of  him,  whom  the 
''Father  hath  sanctified,  and  sent 
into  the  world,  Tliou  blusphem- 
est;  because  I  said,  I  am  the  'Son 
of  God  ? 

37  If  I  do  not  the  works  of  my 
'^Father,  believe  me  not. 


38  But  if  I  do,  though  ye  be- 
lieve not  me,  believe  the  'vvorks: 
that  ye  may  know,  and  ^believe, 
that  the  Father  is  in  ''me,  and  I 
in  ''him. 

39  ^  Therefore  they  '"sought 
again  to  take  him:  but  he  "es- 
caped out  of  their  hand, 

40  And  went  away  again  be- 
yond 'J6r'dan  into  the  '^lace 
where  ''John  at  first  ""baptized; 
and  there  he  abode. 

41  And  ^'^many  resorted  unto 
him,  and  said,  ''John  did  no 
^miracle:  but  all  things  that 
John  spake  of  this  man  were 
true. 

42  iVnd  many  ^' ^believed  on 
him  there. 

CHAPTER  11 

The  raising  of  Lazarus  from  the  dead.  45 
Many  Jews  bclirvfi.  47  The  chief  priests 
and  Pharisees  conspire  against  Jesus.  49 
The  counsel  of  Caiaphas.  54  Jesus  re- 
tires to  the  city  of  Ephraim.  55  At  the 
passover  many  inquire  after  him. 

IVrOW  a  certa  in  man  was  "sick, 
i-^  named  *Laz'a-rus,  of  Beth'- 
a-ny,  the  town  of  "^jNIa'ry  and 
her  sister  *Mar'tha. 

2  (It  was  that  ^ISIa'ry  which 
'^anointed  the  Lord  with  oint- 
ment, and  wiped  his  feet  with 
her  hair,  whose  brother  *Laz'a- 
rus  was  ''sick.) 

3  Therefore  his  sisters  sent  unto 
him,  saying,  I^ord,  behold,  he 
whom  thou  ''lovest  is  sick. 

4  When  Je'sus  heard  that,  he 
said.  This  ^sickness  is  not  unto 
death,  but  ''for  the  "glory  of  God, 
'that  the  ''Son  of  God  might  be 
glorified  thereby. 

5  Now  Je'.sus  ''•^loved  *'^'Mar'- 
tha,  and  her  ^'%ister,  and  *Laz'- 
a-rtis. 

6  When  he  had  heard  therefore 
that  *he  was  ''sick,  he  abode  two 
days  still  in  the  same  place  where 
he  was. 

7  Then  after  that  saith  he  to  Us

Misciples,  Let  us  go  into  'Ju- 
dse'a  again. 

8  His  ^disciples  say  unto 
him,  '"Master,  the  "Jew.s  of  late 
"sought  to  stone  thee;  and  goest 
thou  thither  again  ? 

9  Je'sus  answered,  Are  there 
not  twelve  hours  in  the  May  ?  If 
any  man  walk  in  the  *day,  he 
stumbleth  not,  because  he  seeth 
the  ''light  of  this  world. 

10  But  if  a  man  walk  in  the 
'night,  he  stumbleth,  because 
there  is  'no  light  in  him. 

11  These  things  said  he:  and 
after  that  he  saith  unto  them. 
Our  "friend  *Laz'a-rus  ^'"'sleep- 
eth;  but  I  go,  that  I  may  awake 
him  out  of  sleep. 

12  Then  said  his  Misciples, 
Lord,  if  he  ^sleep,  he  'shall  do 
well. 

13  Howbeit  Je'.sus  spake  of  his 
'"death:  but  they  thought  that 
he  had  spoken  of  taking  of  rest 
in  sleep. 

14  Then  said  Je'.sus  unto  them 
plainly,  *Laz'a-rus  is  Mead. 

15  And  I  am  glad  for  your 
sakes  that  I  was  not  there,  ^to 
the  intent  ye  may  believe;  never- 
thele.ss  let  us  go  unto  him. 

16  Then  "said  ^Thom'as,  which 
is  called  Did'y-miis,  unto  his 
fellowdisciples,  ''■'^Let  us  also  go, 
that  we  may  die  with  him. 

17  Then  when  Je'.sus  came,  he 
found  that  he  had  lain  in  the 
grave  four  days  already. 

18  Now  "Beth'a-ny  was  nigh 
unto  '^Je-ni'sa-lem,  about  fifteen 
'"furlongs  off: 

19  And  many  of  the  'Jew.s 
'^'''came  to  '^Miir'tha  and  ^Ma'ry, 
to  'comfort  them  'concerning 
their  brother. 

20  Then  '^Mar'tha,  as  soon  as 


she  heard  that  Je'sus  was  com- 
ing, went  and  met  him:  but 
^Ma'ry  sat  still  in  the  house. 

21  Then  said  ''Milr'tha  unto 
Je'.sus,  Lord,  ^'if  thou  hadst  been 
here,  my  brother  had  not  died. 

22  But  I  ^know,  that  even  now, 
whatsoever  thou  wilt  ask  of  God, 
God  will  give  it  thee. 

23  Je'sus  ^ '"'saith  unto  her,  Thy 
brother  shall  rise  again. 

24  ''jMar'tha  saith  unto  him, 
I  know  that  he  shall  rise  again 
in  the  "^resurrection  at  the  last 
day. 

25  Je'sus  said  unto  her,  I 
am  the  resurrection,  and  the 
"life:  Phe  that  «'^belleveth  in 
*me,  though  he  hvere  'dead,  yet 
"shall  he  "live: 

26  And  ^whosoever  liveth  and 
''■'believeth  in  me  "shall  never 
"'die.     Believest  thou  this  ? 

27  She  saith  unto  him,  Yea, 
Lord:  ^I  ^believe  that  thou  art 
the  ^Christ,  the  ^Son  of  God, 
which  should  come  into  the 
world. 

28  And  when  she  had  so  said, 
she  went  her  Avay,  and  called 
^Ma'iy  her  sister  secretly,  say- 
ing, The  Master  is  come,  and 
calleth  for  thee. 

29  As  soon  as  she  heard  that, 
she  arose  quickly,  and  came  unto 
him. 

30  Now  Je'.sus  was  not  yet 
come  into  the  town,  but  was  in 
that  place  where  '^Mar'tha  met 
him. 

31  The  ^Jew.s  then  which  were 
with  her  in  the  house,  and 
"•''comforted  her,  when  they  saw 
^Ma'ry,  that  she  rose  up  hastily 
and  went  out,  followed  her,  say- 
ing, She  goeth  unto  the  ^-^grave 
to  ^•'^weep  there.

82  Then  wlien  ^Ma'ry  wa.s 
come  where  Je'sus  was,  and  saw 
him,  she  fell  down  at  his  feet, 
'saying  unto  him.  Lord,  if  thou 
hadst  been  here,  my  brother  had 
not  died. 

33  When  Je'sus  therefore  saw 
her  *''''wee])ing,  and  the  ''Jews 
also  ''weeping  ^vhich  came  with 
her,  ^he  groaned  in  the  spirit, 
and  was  troubled, 

34  And  said,  Where  have  ye 
laid  him  ?  They  said  unto  liim, 
Lord,  come  and  see. 

35  Je'sus  ''•"wept. 

36  Then  said  the  Jews,  Behold 
how  he  ■'•'loved  him! 

37  And  some  of  them  said, 
Could  not  this  man,  Avhich 
'"opened  the  eyes  of  the  "blind, 
have  caused  that  even  this  man 
should  not  have  died  ? 

38  Je'sus  therefore  again  groan- 
ing  in  himself  cometh  to  the 
'"'grave.  It  was  a  ^cave,  and  a 
stone  lay  upon  it. 

39  Je'.sus  said.  Take  ye  away 
the  stone.  "Mar'tha,  the  sister  of 
him  that  was  dead,  saith  unto 
him.  Lord,  by  this  time  he  stink- 
eth:  for  he  hath  been  dead  four 
days. 

40  Je'sus  saith  unto  her.  Said 
I  not  unto  thee,  that,  if  thou 
wouldest  believe,  thou  shouldest 
see  the  glory  of  God  ? 

41  Then  they  took  away  the 
stone  ^jrom.  the  place  where  the 
dead  was  laid.  And  Je'.sus  lifted 
up  his  eyes,  and  ''said,  'Father, 
I  ''thank  thee  that  thou  luist 
heard  me. 

42  And  ^I  knew  that  thou  hcar- 
est  me  always:  })ut  becaiLse  of 
the  people  wiiich  stand  by  I  said 
it,  that  they  may  believe  that 
thou  hast  sent  me. 

43  And  when  he  thus  had  spo- 
ken, he  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
*Laz'a-rus,  come  forth. 


44  And  he  that  was  Mead  '"came 
forth,  bound  hand  and  foot  with 
graveclothes:  and  his  face  was 
bound  about  with  a  najikin.  Je^- 
•sus  saith  unto  them,  I>oose  him, 
and  let  him  go. 

45  Then  many  of  the  ''Jew.s 
which  came  to  ^Ma'ry,  and  had 
seen  the  things  which  Je'.sus  did, 
'beheved  on  him. 

46  But  "some  of  them  went 
their  ways  to  the  *'Ph2,r'i-sees, 
and  told  them  what  things  Je'- 
sus  had  done. 

47  T[  "'Then  gathered  the  chief 
•'■priests  and  the  ^Ph3.r'i-sees  a 
council,  and  .said.  What  do  we  ?

48  "'It  we  let  him  thus  alone,  all 
men  will  believe  on  him:  and  the 
nio'man.s  shall  come  and  take 
away  both  our  place  and  nation. 

49  Ajid  one  of  them,  named 
^Ca'ia-ph3,s,  being  the  ^high 
priest  that  same  year,  said  unto 
them,  Ye  know  nothing  at  all, 

50  Nor  consider  that  it  is  expe- 
dient for  us,  that  one  man  should 
"die  for  the  ])eople,  and  that  the 
whole  nation  perish  not. 

51  And  this  s|)ake  *he  not  of 
himself:  but  being  high  priest 
that  year,  he  '"prophesied  that 
''Je'sus  should  "-Mie  ^-"for  that 
nation; 

52  And  not  for  that  nation  only, 
but  that  also  he  should  gather 
together  in  ''one  the  ''^children  of

53  Then  from  that  day  forth 
they  ^•'■"'took  counsel  together 
for  to  put  him  to  "death. 

54  Je'.sus  therefore  "walked  no 
more  openly  among  the  ^Jew.s; 
but  "went  thence  unto  a  country 
near  to  the  wilderness,  into  a

was  nigh  at  hand:  and  many 
went  out  of  the  country  up  to 
'Je-ri/sa-Iem  before  the  pass- 
over,   to  ^'purify  themselves. 

56  Then  sought  they  for  Je'§us, 
and  spake  among  themselves,  as 
they  stood  in  the  "temple.  What 
think  ye,  that  he  will  not  come  to 
the  *feast  ? 

57  Now  both  the  chief  "'priests 
and  the  -^Phar'i-sees  had  given  a 
commandment,  that,  if  any  man 
knew  where  he  were,  he  should 
sliew  it,  '-'"that  they  might  take 
him. 

CHAPTER  12 

The  supper  at  Bethany.  3  Mary  anoints 
the  feet  of  Jesus,  io  The  chief  priests 
consult  to  put  Lazariis  to  death.  12  Je- 
sus' public  entry  into  Jerusalem.  20 
Certain  Greeks  desire  to  see  him.  23  He 
foretells  his  own  death  and  resurrection. 
37  The  .JeiDS  are  blinded.  42  Many 
rulers  believe,  but  do  not  confess  him.  44 
The  danger  of  rejecting  him. 

°rpHEN  Je'sus  six  days  before 
-L  the  ''passover  came  to 
'^Beth'a-ny,  where  '^Laz'a-riis  was 
hvhich  had  been  dead,  whom  he 
raised  from  the  dead. 

2  There  *they  made  him  a  sup- 
per; and  ''Miir'tha  served:  but 
''Laz'a-rus  was  one  of  them  that 
sat  at  the  table  with  him. 

3  ^Then  took  *]\Ia'ry  a  pound 
of  ^ointment  of  ^spikenard,  very 
costly,  and  ''^anointed  the  feet  of 
Je'.sus,  and  wiped  his  feet  with 
her  hair:  and  the  house  was  filled 
with  the  odour  of  the  ointment. 

4  Then  'saith  one  of  his  '"dis- 
ciples, '^'''Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot,  ^Si'- 
mon's  S071,  which  should  ^betray 
him, 

5  '■•*^Vhy  was  not  this  ^ointment 
sold  for  three  hundred  pence, 


'poor 


and  given  to  the 

6  This  he  'said,  not  that  he 
cared  for  the  'poor;  but  because 
he  "was  a  "•"'thief,  and  had  the 
bag,  and  ^bare  what  was  put 
therein. 

7  Then  *^said  Je'gus,  Let  her 
alone:  against  the  day  of  my 
^' ^burying  hath  she  kept  this. 

14 


8  For  the  'poor  always  ye  have 
with  you;  but  me  ye  have  not 
always. 

9  ^  Much  people  of  the  '^Jews 
therefore  knew  that  he  was 
there:  and  they  came  not  for 
Je'sus'  sake  only,  but  ^that  they 
might  see  '^Laz'a-rus  also,  whom 
he  had  ''raised  from  the  dead. 

10  But  the  chief  ^priests  '-^con- 
sulted that  they  might  put  '^Laz'- 
a-rus  also  to  death; 

11  Because  that  by  reason  of 
him  many  of  the  ''Jews  went 
away,  and  ''■*■ 'believed  on  Je'.sus. 

12  ^  On  the  next  day  much 
people  that  were  come  to  the 
^' 'feast,  when  they  heard  that 
Je'§us  was  coming  to  '"Je-ri/- 
sa-lem, 

13  '^•"•"Took  branches  of  ^palm 
trees,  and  went  forth  to  meet  him, 
and  cried,  H6-,san'na:  ^Blessed 
is  the  ''King  of  Is'ra-el  that  Com- 
eth in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

14  And  Je'.sus,  when  he  had 
found  a  young  *ass,  sat  thereon; 
as  it  is  written, 

15  'Fear  not,  daughter  of  "Si'on : 
behold,  thy  Tving  cometh,  sit- 
ting on  an  *ass's  colt. 

16  These  things  understood  not 
his  "disciples  at  the  first:  but 
when  Je'.«us  was  '"glorified,  then 
remembered  they  that  these 
''things  were  written  of  him,  and 
that  they  had  done  these  things 
unto  him. 

17  The  people  therefore  that 
was  with  him  when  he  called 
■'^Laz'a-riis  out  of  his  ^grave,  and 
raised  him  from  the  Mead,  bare 
record. 

IS  For  this  cause  the  people 
also  met  him,  for  that  they  heard 
that  he  had  done  this  ^■''miracle. 

19  The  *Phar'i-sees  therefore 
said  among  themselves.  Perceive 
ye  how  ye  prevail  nothing  ?  be- 
hold, '^the  world  is  gone  after 
him.

''Greeks  among  them  that  came 
up  to  ^vorship  at  the  "''feast: 

21  The  same  came  therefore  to 
'Phil'ip,  which  was  of  ^Beth-sa'-

saying.  The  hour  is  come,  that 
the  Son  of  man  should  be  '^glori- 
fied. 

24  Verily,  verily,  I  "say  unto 
you.  Except  a  *corn  of  ^wheat 
fall  into  the  ground  and  ^die,  it 
abideth  alone:  but  if  it  die,  it 
bringetli  forth  much  fruit.

there  shall  also  my  servant  be:  if 
any  man  ^serve  me,  "■''him  will

27  Now  is  my  soul  "^troubled; 
and  what  shall  I  ''say  ?  Father, 
save  me  from  this  hour:  but  ''for 
this  cau.se  came  I  unto  this  hour.

Then  came  there  a  voice  from 
heaven,  .saying,  I  have  both  glor-

29  The  people  therefore,  that 
stood  by,  and  heard  it,  said  that 
it  thundered:  others  said,  An

This  voice  came  not  because  of 
me,  but  for  your  sakes, 

31  Now  is  the  judgment  of  this

33  This  he  said,  signifying 
^what  death   he  should   'die. 

34  The  people  answered  him, 
''We  have  heard  oi:t  of  the  ''law 
that  ''Christ  "abideth  for  ever: 
and  how  sayest  thou.  The  'Son 
of  man  must  be  '-'' 'lifted  uj)  ?  who 
is  this  Son  of  man  ? 

35  Then  Je'.sus  said  unto  them, 
Yet  a  little  while  is  the  "-^'■'"light 
with  you.  Walk  ^while  ye  have 
the  light,  lest  ^'^' "darkness  come 
upon  you:  for  he  that  walkcth  in 
darkness  knoweth  not  whither 
he  goeth. 

36  While  ye  have  "light,  ''•''• ''be- 
lieve in  the  light,  that  ye  may  be 
the  ^children  of  light.  These 
things  spake  Je'sus,  and  depart- 
ed, and  "did  hide  himself  from 
thein. 

37  Tf  But  though  he  had  done 
so  many  ^"''miracles  before  them, 
yet  *they  '•^'■'believed  not  on  him : 
"  38  That  the  '"saying  of  '^^.-sa'- 
ias  the  "prophet  might  be  ful- 
filled, which  he  spake.  Lord, 
'•'■''who  hath  believed  our  re- 
port ?  and  to  whom  hath  the  arm 
of  the  Lord  been  revealed  ? 

39  Therefore  they  could  '■'not 
believe,  because  that  "E-sa'ias 
said  again,

and  hardened  their  'heart;  ''that 
they  should  not  see  with  their 
eyes,  nor  understand  with  their 
heart,  and  be  converted,  and  I 
should  heal  them.

"when  he  saw  his  glory,  and 
spake  of  him.

what  I  should  speak.

CHAPTER  13 

Jesus  washes  his  disciples'  feet:  12  and  ex- 
horts them  to  Iwmility  and  brotherly  love. 
18  He  foretells  that  one  of  them  would 
betray  him.  31  The  Son  of  man  glorified. 
34  The  new  commandment  to  love  one  an- 
other.    36  Peter  forewarned  of  his  denial. 

NOW  before  the  feast  of  the 
•^passover,  when  Je'sus  *knew 
that  his  hour  was  come  that  he 
should  depart  out  of  this  world 
unto  the  '^Father,  having  '^loved 
his  own  which  were  in  the  world, 
he  loved  them  unto  the  end. 


2  And  ^supper  being  ended, 
the  "devil  having  now  put  in- 
to the  ''heart  of  ''Ju'das  Is-car'- 
i-ot,  ''Si'mon's  son,  to  'betray 
him; 

3  Je'sus  ''knowing  that  the  '^Fa- 
ther had  'given  all  things  into  his 
hands,  and  that  *he  was  'come 
from  God,  and  'went  to  God; 

4  He  riseth  from  supper,  and 
laid  aside  his  garments;  "'and 
took  a  towel,  and  girded  him- 
self. 

5  "'"After  that  he  poureth  water 
into  a  bason,  and  began  to  wash 
the  "disciples'  ''feet,  and  to  wipe 
ihcm  with  the  towel  wherewith 
he  was  girded. 

6  Then  cometh  he  to  Si'mon 
'^Pe'ter:  and  Pe'ter  saith  unto 
him,  Lord,  dost  thou  wash  my 
feet  ? 

7  Je'sus  answered  and  said  un- 
to him.  What  I  do  thou  *knowest 
not  now;  but  thou  shalt  know 
hereafter. 

8  '"Pe'ter  'saith  unto  him.  Thou 
shalt  never  wash  my  feet.  Je'sus 
answered  him.  If  I  wash  thee 
not,  thou  hast  no  ])art  with 
me. 

9  Si'mon  ''Pe'ter  saith  unto  him. 
Lord,  not  my  feet  only,  but  also 
my  hands  and  my  head. 

10  Je'.sus  saith  to  him,  He  that 
is  washed  needeth  not  save  to 
wash  his  feet,  but  is  clean  every 
whit:  and  ye  are  clean,  but  not 
all. 

11  For  he  ''■"knew  who  should 
"betray  him;  therefore  said  he. 
Ye  are  not  all  clean. 

12  '"So  after  he  had  washed 
their  feet,  and  had  taken  his  gar- 
ments, and  was  set  down  again, 
he  said  unto  them.  Know  ye  what 
I  have  done  to  you  ?

13  Ye  call  me  *AIaster  and 
"'•^Lord:  and  ye  say  well;  for 
so  I  am. 

14  If  I  then,  your  I.,ord  and 
Master,  have  washed  your  feet; 
^■^ve  also  "ought  to  wash  one 
another's  feet. 

15  For  ''I  have  given  you  an 
^example,  that  ye  should  do  as 
I  have  done  to  you. 

16  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
''The  ''servant  is  not  greater  than 
his  lord;  neither  'he  that  is  sent 
greater  than  he  that  sent  him. 

17  If  ye  know  these  things, 
-"'happy  are  ye  if  ye  do  them. 

IS  Tf  I  speak  not  of  you  all:  I 
know  whom  I  have  chosen:  but 
that  the  ^scripture  may  be  ful- 
filled, "-'He  that  eateth  bread 
with  me  hath  ^lifted  up  his  heel 
against  me. 

19  Now  ^I  tell  you  before  it 
come,  that,  when  it  is  come  to 
pass,  ye  may  believe  that  I  am  '/tc. 

20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
'"He  that  receiveth  "whomsoever 
I  send  "receiveth  me;  and  he 
that  receiveth  me  receiveth  him 
that  ^sent  me. 

21  When  Je'sus  had  thus  said, 
he  was  ^troubled  in  spirit,  and 
testified,  and  said.  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  you,  that  *one  of  you 
shall  ''betray  me. 

22  Then  the  Misciples  looked 
one  on  another,  doubting  of 
whom  he  spake. 

23  Now  there  was  ^leaning  on 
Je'gus'  bosom  'one  of  his  *disci-

spake. 

25  'He  then  ^lying  on  Je'gus' 
breast  saith  unto  him,  I^ord,  who 
is  it  ? 

26  Je'.sus  answered,  He  it  is,  to 
whom  I  shall  give  a  sop,  when  I 
have  dipped  it.  And  when  he 
had  dipped  the  sop,  he  gave  it 
to  "'Ju'das  Is-ciir'i-ot,  the  son  of 
^Si'mon. 

27  And  after  the  sop  ^Sa'tan 
entered  into  him.  Then  said 
Je'sus  unto  ""him.  That  thou 
doest,  do  quickly. 

28  Now  no  man  at  the  table 
knew  for  what  intent  he  spake 
this  unto  him. 

29  For  some  oj  them  thought, 
because  ^Ju'das  had  the  bag, 
that  Je'sus  had  said  unto  him, 
Buy  those  things  that  we  have 
need  of  against  the  ^feast;  or, 
that  he  should  give  something  to 
the  "poor. 

30  He  then  having  received  the 
sop  went  immediately  out:  and 
it  was  night. 

31  Tf  Therefore,  when  he  was 
gone  out,  Je'sus  said.  Now  is  the 
Son  of  man  glorified,  and  God  is 
o-lorified  in  him. 

32  '^If  God  be  glorified  in  him, 
God  shall  also  ^glorify  him  in 
himself,  ''and  shall  straightway 
glorify  him. 

33  i.ittle  children,  yet  a  little 
while  I  am  with  you.  Ye  shall

Jews,  Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot 
come;  so  now  I  say  to  you. 

34  A  new  commandment  I  give 
unto  you,  ''That  ye  ''■''•''love  one 
another;  ^•''as  I  have  loved  you, 
that  ye  also  love  one  another.

He  that  ''believeth  on  me,  the

20  At  that  day  ye  shall  know 
that  "I  afn  in  my  Father,  and

thou  wilt  manifest  th^'self  unto 
us,  and  not  unto  the  world  ? 

23  Je'sus  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  ^If  a  man  "love  me, 
''he  will  'keep  my  ^•'' words:  and 
my  Father  will  ''love  him,  and  we

Jesus'  discourse  continued:  He  is  the  true 
vine.  9  The  miitunl  love  of  Christ  and 
his  membCTS.  18  He  comforts  them  in 
view  of  persecution.  26  The  office  of  the 
Holy  Spirit,  and  of  the  apostles.

AIM  the  true  "'"vine,  and  my 
''Father  is  the  ''husbandman. 

2  Every  ''branch  ^in  me  that 
''■"■^beareth  not  fruit  he  '•^taketh 
away:  and  every  '^•'branch  that 
beareth  "'■  "fruit,  he  "-"-'purgeth 
it,  that  it  may  bring  forth  more 
fruit. 

3  Now  ye  are  clean  through  tlie 
Vord  which  I  have  *spoken  unto 
you. 

4  ^'^ "Abide  in  me,  and  I  in 
you.  As  the  ''branch  cannot 
bear  "'-"fruit  of  itself,  "exccj)t  it 
abide  in  the  "-"vine;  no  more 
can  ye,  except  'ye  abide  in  me. 

5  I  am  the  "-"vine,  ye  are 
the  '^branches:  He  tiiat  'abideth 
in  me,  and  I  in  him,  the  same 
bringeth  forth  much  '"■"fruit:  for 
without  me  ye  can  do  nothing. 

6  If  a  man  'abide  not  in  mc,  he 
is  '-'cast  forth  as  a  branch,  and 
is  withered;  and  men  gather 
them,  and  '■'''cast  them  into  the 
fire,  and  they  are  burned. 

7  If  ye  'abide  in  me,  and  my 
''words  abide  in  you,  "'ye  shall 
^ask  what  ye  will,  and  it  shall 
be  done  unto  you. 

8  Herein  is  my  "Father  ^glori-

10  If  ye  ■'keep  my  command- 
ments, ye  shall  ^'abide  in  my 
love;  even  as  I  have  'kept  my 
''Father's  commandments,  and 
%bide  in  his  ''love. 

11  These  things  have  I  '"'"spo- 
ken unto  you,  "that  my  ^joy 
might  remain  in  you,  and  that 
your  joy  might  be  full. 

12  This  is  my  'commandment, 
''That  ye  *'*''love  one  another,  as 
I  have  "loved  you. 

13  Greater  ''love  hath  no  man 
than  this,  that  a  man  "'^'lay  down 
his  life  "'for  his  -^friends. 

14  Ye  are  my  "^friends,  if  ye  ^' Mo 
whatsoever  I  command  you. 

15  Henceforth  I  call  you  not 
servants;  for  the  servant  know- 
eth  not  what  his  lord  doeth :  but 
I  have  called  you  ^friends;  for 
all  things  that  I  have  heard 
of  my  Father  I  have  "'-"^made 
known  unto  you. 

16  Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but 
I  have  "chosen  you,  and  or- 
dained you,  that  ye  should  go 
and  bring  forth  fruit,  and  that 
your  fruit  should  remain:  that 
whatsoever  ye  shall  *ask  of  the 
''Father  ''in  my  ''name,  he  may 
give  it  you. 

17  These  things  T  command 
you,  that  ye  ''love  one  another.

know  that  Ht  hated  me  before  it 


hated  you.

because  ye  are  ^not  of  the  world, 
but  I  have  "chosen  you  out  of

''hateth  you. 

20  Remember  the  word  that  I 
said  unto  you,  'The  servant  is 
not  greater  than  his  lord.  If  they 
have  ^persecuted  me,  they  will 
also  persecute  you;  if  they  have 
kept  my  saying,  they  will  keep

that  the  ^vord  might  be  ful-

CHAPTER  1() 

Jesus'  discourse  concluded:  He  renews  the 
promise  of  lite  Comforter;  17  removes  the 
perplexity  of  his  disciples:  23  and  assures 
litem  that  prayer  in  his  name  is  accept- 
able. 33  Peace  in  Jesus,  but  in  the  world 
tribulatiun. 


THESE  things  have  I  spoken 
unto  you,  that  ye  should 
not  be  'offended. 

2  "■^•'"They  shall  "-^piit  ^x)u  out 
of  the  ''synagogues:  yea,  the  time 
Cometh,  that  ''whosoever  'killeth 
you  will  •''* think  that  he  doeth 
God  service. 

3  x\nd  these  °' ''things  will  they 
do  unto  you,  because  they  have 
•'not  known  the  'Father,  nor  me. 

4  But  these  things  have  "I  told 
you,  that  when  the  time  shall 
come,  ye  may  remember  that  I 
told  you  of  them.  And  these 
things  I  said  not  unto  you  at  the 
beginning,  because  I  was  with 
you. 

5  But  now  "'I  go  my  way  to  him 
that  "sent  me;  and  none  of  you 
asketh  me.  Whither  goest  thou  ? 

6  But  because  I  have  said  these 
things  unto  ''you,  sorrow  hath 
filled   your   heart. 

7  Nevertheless  I  tell  you  the 
truth;  It  is  expedient  for  you  that 
I  go  away:  for  if  I  go  not  away,

while,  and  ye  shall  see  me,  ^be- 
cause I  '"go  to  the  Tather. 

17  Then  said  soine  of  his  Mis- 
ciples  among  themselves.  What 
is  this  that  he  saith  unto  us,  A 
little  while,  and  ye  shall  not  see 
me:  and  again,  a  little  while,  and 
ye  shall  see  me:  and.  Because  I 
go  to  the  'Father  ? 

18  They  said  therefore.  What 
is  this  that  he  saith,  A  little 
while  ?  we  cannot  tell  what  he 
saith. 

19  Now  Je'.sus  ^knew  that  they 
were  desirous  to  ask  him,  and 
said  unto  them.  Do  ye  encjuire 
among  j'ourselves  of  that  I  said, 
A  little  while,  and  ye  shall  not 
see  me:  and  again,  a  little  while, 
and  ye  shall  see  me  ? 

20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
That  ye  shall  weep  and  lament, 
but  the  world  shall  rejoice:  and 
ye  shall  be  sorrowful,  but  ^your 
sorrow  shall  be  turned  into  joy. 

21  A  woman  when  she  is  in 
travail  hath  sorrow,  because  her 
hour  is  come:  but  as  soon  as  she 
is  delivered  of  the  child,  she 
remembereth  no  more  the  an- 
guish, for  jo}'  that  a  man  is  born 
into  the  world. 

22  x^nd  ye  now  therefore  have 
sorrow:  but  I  will  see  you  again, 
and  ^your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and 
your  joy  no  man  taketh  from 
you. 

23  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  ask 
me  nothing.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  ''Whatsoever  ye  shall 
^ask  the  "Father  *in  my  ''name, 
'^•''he  will  ^give  it  you. 

24  Hitherto  have  ye  asked  noth- 
ing *in  my  ''name:  ''ask,  and'^-^ye 
shall  receive,  that  your  '^•^joy  may 
be  full. 

25  These  tilings  have  I  spoken 
unto  you  in  ^proverbs:  but  the 
time  Cometh,  when  I  shall  no 
more  speak  unto  you  in  ^prov- 
erbs, but  I  shall  shew  you  plainly 
of  the  '^Father. 

14 


2G  At  that  day  ye  shall  ask  in 
my  "name:  and  I  say  not  unto 
you,  that  I  will  pray  the  Father 
for  you : 

27  For  the  "Father  himself  'lov- 
eth  you,  because  ye  have  ^loved 
me,  and  have  'believed  that  "'-"I 
came  out  from  God. 

28  '«-"I  came  forth  from  the 
Father,  and  am  "come  into  the 
world:  again,  I  leave  the  world, 
and  ^go  to  the  Father. 

29  ^  His  ^disciples  said  unto 
him,  Lo,  now  speakest  thou 
plainly,  and  sj)eakest  no  ^'prov- 
erb, 

30  Now  are  we  sure  that  tliou 
''knowest  all  things,  and  needest 
not  that  any  man  should  ask  thee: 
by  this  we  'believe  that  "'"thou 
camest  forth  from  God. 

31  Je'sus  answered  them.  Do 
ye  now  believe  ? 

32  ^Behold,  the  hour  cometh, 
yea,  is  now  come,  that  ye  shall  be 
scattered,  every  man  to  his  own, 
and  shall  leave  me  alone:  and 
yet  I  am  not  alone,  because  the 
"^Father  is  "'with  me.

CHAPTER  17 

Jesus  prays  to  his  Father  to  glorify  him,  6 
to  preserve  his  apostles,  20  to  glorify 
them,  and  all  other  believers  with  him  in 
heaven. 

THESE  words  spake  Je'.sus, 
and  lifted  uj)  his  eyes  to 
heaven,  and  "said,  ^Father,  the

CHAPTER  18 

■Judas  betrays  Jesus.  10  Peter  smites  the 
high  priest's  servant.  12  Jesus  is  bound 
and  led  away,  first  to  Annas.  15  Peter's 
first  denial  19  Jesus  before  Caiaphas. 
25  Peter's  second  denial.  28  Jesus  is  de- 
livered over  to  Pilate,  38  who  seeks  to  re- 
lease him,  but  the  Jews  demand  Barabbas. 

"TXTHEN  Je'sus  had  spoken 
» *  these  words,  he  went 
forth  with  his  ^disciples  over  the 
"^brook  '^(^e'dron,  where  was  a 
'■garden,  into  the  which  he  en- 
tered,  and  his  disciples. 

2  And  ^Ju'das  also,  which  '"''be- 
trayed him,  knew  the  place:  for 
Je'.sus  ofttimes  resorted  thither 
with  his  ^disciples. 

3  ''•^Ju'das  then,  having  re- 
ceived a  band  of  ^men  and  of- 
ficers from  the  chief  'priests 
and  *Phar'i-sees,  cometh  thither 
with  lanterns  and  torches  and 
weapons. 

4  Je'sus  therefore,  'knoAving  all 
things  that  should  come  upon 
him,  went  forth,  and  said  unto 
them.  Whom  seek  ye  ? 

5  They  answered  him,  Je'sus  of 
'"Naz'a-reth.  Je'sus  saith  unto 
them,  I  am  he.  And  ''Ju'das  also, 
which  "'''betrayed  him,  stood 
with  them. 

6  As  soon  then  as  he  hatl 
said  unto  them,  I  am  he,  they 
went  backward,  and  fell  to  the 
ground. 

7  Then  asked  he  them  again, 
Whom  seek  ye  ?  And  they  said, 
Je'sus  of  '"Naz'a-rgth. 

8  Je'.sus  answered,  I  have  told 
you  that  I  am  he:  if  therefore  ye 
seek  me,  ''let  these  go  their  way: 

9  That  the  saying  might  be 
fulfilled,  which  he  spake,  Of 
them  which  thou  gavest  me  have 
I  lost  none. 

10  "Then  Si'mon  ^Pe'ter  having 
a  *sword  drew  it,  and  ''smote  the 


high  priest's  servant,  and  cut 
off  his  right  ear.  The  servant's 
name  was  *]Mal'chus. 

11  Then  said  Je'.sus  unto  ^Pe'- 
ter.  Put  up  thy  *sword  into  the 
sheath:  the  ''"cup  which  my  Fa- 
ther hath  given  me,  Miall  I  not 
drink  it  ? 

12  Then  the  band  and  the  -cap- 
tain and  officers  of  the  ""Jew.s 
^•■'^took  ^Je'sus,  and  bound  him, 

13  And  led  him  away  ^to  '"■  ^\n'- 
nas  first;  for  he  was  father  in 
law  to  '^Ca'ia-phas,  which  was  the 
''high  priest  that  same  year. 

14  Now  ''Ca'ia-phas  was  he, 
which  gave  counsel  to  the  ''Jews, 
that  it  was  expedient  that  one 
man  should  die  for  the  people. 

15  \  And  Si'mon  'Pe'ter  fol- 
lowed Je'sus,  and  so  did  "another 
disciple:  that  disciple  was  known 
unto  the  ''high  priest,  and  went 
in  with  Je'.sus  into  the  ^palace 
of  the  high  priest. 

16  But  'Pe'ter  stood  at  the  door 
without.  Then  went  out  that 
"other  disciple,  which  was  known 
unto  the  "high  priest,  and  spake 
unto  ''her  that  kept  the  door,  and 
brought  in  Pe'ter. 

17  Then  saith  the  ''dam.sel  that 
kept  the  door  unto  ''Pe'ter,  Art 
not  thou  also  one  of  this  man's 
'disciples  ?  He  '-^saith,  I  am  not. 

18  And  the  servants  and  offi- 
cers stood  there,  who  had  made 
a  fire  of  coals;  for  it  was  cold: 
and  they  warmed  themselves: 
and  ''Pe'ter  stood  with  them,  and 
warmed  himself. 

19  \  'The  high  priest  tlien 
asked  Je'sus  of  his  Misciples, 
and  of  his  ^•'"doctrine. 

20  'Je'.sus  answered  him,  I 
'"spake  openly  to  the  world;  I 
ever  "-"taught  in  the  ''.synagogue, 
and  in  the  'temple,  whither  the 
*Jew,s  always  resort;  and  in  se- 
cret have  I  said  nothing.

have   said    unto    them:    behold, 
they  know  what  I  said. 

22  And  when  he  had  thu.s 
spoken,  ''one  of  the  officers 
whieli  stood  by  *• 'struck  Je'sus 
with  the  palm  of  his  hand, 
saying,  Answerest  thou  the  high 
priest  so  ? 

23  "Je'.sus  answered  him,  If  I 
have  spoken  evil,  bear  witness  of 
the  evil:  but  if  well,  why  smitest 
thou  me  ? 

24  Now  '^'An'nas  had  sent  him 
bound  unto  "Ca'ia-phas  the 
•^high  priest. 

25  1  And  Si'mon  ^Pe'ter  stood 
and  warmed  himself.  They  said 
therefore  unto  him.  Art  not  thou 
also  one  of  his  ^disciples  ?  He 
'■'''denied  it,  and  said,  I  am  not. 

2C)  One  of  the  servants  of  the 
liigh  priest,  being  his  kinsman 
whose  ear  ^Pe'ter  cut  off,  saith. 
Did  not  I  see  thee  in  the  ^garden 
with  him  ? 

27  'Pe'ter  then  '-^denied  again: 
and  immediately  the  ^cock  crew. 

28  If  "Then  led  they  Je'.sus  from 
Ca'ia-phas  unto  the  "hall  of 
judgment:  and  it  was  early;  and 
they  them.selves  went  not  into 
the  judgment  hall,  "^lest  they 
should  be  '^defiled;  but  that  they 
might  eat  the  "pa.ssover. 

29  ""Ti'late  then  went  out  unto 
them,  and  said.  What  "accusa- 
tion bring  ye  against  this  man  ? 

30  They  answered  and  said  un- 
to him,  ''If  he  were  not  a  *male- 
factor,  we  would  not  have  de- 
livered him  up  unto  thee. 


31  "Then  said  'PVhite  unto 
them,  Take  ye  him,  and  judge 
him  according  to  your  law.  The 
Jews  therefore  said  unto  him,  It 
is  not  lawful  for  us  to  put  any 
man  to  death: 

32  That  the  'saying  of  Je'- 
sus  might  be  fulfilled,  which  he 
spake,  signifying  ^what  death  he 
should  die. 

33  "Then  -Tl'late  entered  into 
the  ^judgment  hall  again,  and 
called  Je'.sus,  and  said  unto 
him,  Art  thou  the  *'^King  of 
the  Jews  ? 

34  Je'sus  answered  him,  Sayest 
thou  this  thing  of  thyself,  or  did 
others  tell  it  thee  of  me  ? 

35  ^Pi'late  answered,  Am  I  a 
Jew  ?  Thine  own  nation  and  the 
chief  priests  have  delivered  thee 
unto  me:  what  hast  thou  done? 

36  "Je'.sus  '"answered,  My 
"kingdom  is  not  of  this  world:  if 
my  kingdom  were  of  this  world, 
then  woidd  my  servants  fight, 
that  I  should  not  be  delivered  to 
the  Jew.s:  but  now  is  my  king- 
dom not  from  hence. 

37  ''Pi'late  therefore  said  unto 
him,  Art  thou  a  'king  then  ?  Je'- 
.sus '"answered.  Thou  sayest  that 
I  am  a  king.  "To  this  end  was  I 
born,  and  for  this  cause  came  I 
into  the  world,  that  I  should  bear 
witness  unto  the  *truth.  Every 
one  that  is  of  the  truth  heareth 
my  voice. 

38  ''Pi'late  saith  unto  him, 
What  is  *truth  ?  And  when  he 
had  said  this,  he  went  out  again

that  I  release  untc  you  the  ''King

CHAPTER  19 

Jesus  is  scourged,  and  crowned  with  thorns. 
4  Pilate  seeks  again  to  rcleaso  him:  8 
again  the  third  time;  13  but  yields  and 
delivers  him  to  be  crucified.  17  The  cruci-

garments.  25  He  commends  his  motlicr 
to  John.     28  He  dies.     38  His  burial. 

=mHEN  *Pirate  therefore  took 
JL  '^ Je'sus,  and '^' ''scourged  him. 

2  'And  the  "soldiers  platted  a 
'^crown  of  ^thorns,  and  put  Ht  on 
his  head,  and  they  ''^put  on  him  a 
'purple  robe, 

3  And  i-'-^said,  Hail,  King  of 
the  Jews!  and  they  '"•'^smote  him 
with  their  hands. 

4  *Pi'late  therefore  went  forth 
again,  and  saith  unto  them,  Be- 
hold, I  bring  him  forth  to  you, 
that  ye  may  know  that  I  find  no 
^fault  in  him. 

5  Then  came  Je'sus  forth, 
wearing  the  ''crown  of  ''thorns, 
and  the  ^purple  robe.  And  *Pi'- 
late  saith  unto  them,  Behold  the 
man! 

6  Wlien  the  chief  "priests  there- 
fore and  officers  saw  him,  they 
^cried  out,  saying,  ^•'^Crucify 
him,  crucify  him.  *Pl'late  saith 
unto  them,  'Take  ye  him,  and 
crucify  him:  for  I  find  no  fault 
in  him. 

7  The  Jews  answered  him,  We 
have  a  law,  and  by  our  law  he 
ought  to  die,  because  "he  made 
himself  the  Son  of  God. 

8  1    When    Pi'late    therefore 


heard  that  ^saying,  he  was  the 
more  afraid; 

9  And  went  again  into  the 
"judgment  hall,  and  "saith  unto 
Je'sus,  Whence  art  thou?  But 
"'Je'.sus  ^gave  him  no  answer. 

10  "Then  saith  ^/pi'late  unto 
him,  Speakest  thou  not  unto  me  ? 
knowest  thou  not  that  I  have 
power  to  crucify  thee,  and  have 
power  to  release  thee  ? 

11  Je'sus  answered,  Thou 
couldest  have  no  power  at  all 
against  me,  except  it  were  given 
thee  from  ^above:  therefore  "he 
that  delivered  me  unto  thee  hath 
the  greater  sin. 

12  And  from  thenceforth  *Pl'- 
late  sought  to  release  him:  but 
the  Jews  cried  out,  saying,  ''If 
thou  let  this  man  go,  thou  art 
not  '^^se'.sar's  friend:  "whosoever 
maketh  himself  a  "king  speak- 
eth  against  (^re'sar. 

13  t  ^^'hen  "Pi'late  therefore 
heard  that  saying,  he  brought 
Je'sus  forth,  and  sat  down  in  the 
judgment  seat  in  a  place  that  is 
called  the  Pavement,  but  in  the 
He'brew,  Gab'ba-tha. 

14  And  it  was  the  'preparation 
of  the  ''passover,  and  about  the 
sixth  hour:  and  he  saith  unto  the 
Jews,  ''Behold  your  King! 

15  But  they  ^cried  out,  Away 
with  hiin,  away  with  him,  ^cru- 
cify him.  "Pi'late  saith  unto 
them.  Shall  I  crucify  ^your 
King?  The  chief  ''priests  'an- 
swered, We  have  no  king  but 
''^se'sar. 

16  '"•'^Then  "delivered  ^-^e 
him  therefore  unto  them  to  be 
crucified.  And  they  took  Je'- 
sus, and  led  him  away. 

17  'And  he  bearing  his  *cross 
went  forth  into  a  place  called  the 
place  of  a  skull,  which  is  called 
in  the  He'brew  *Gol'g6-tha:

18  Where  they  ^crucified  him, 
and  two  other  with  him,  on 
either  side  one,  and  Je'sus  in  the 
midst. 

19  Tl  And  *Pi'late  wrote  a  title, 
and  put  it  on  the  *cross.  And 
the  'writing  was,  JE'SUS  OF 
XAZ'A-RETH  THE"  KING 
OF  THE  JEWS. 

20  This  title  then  read  many  of 
the  Jew§:  for  the  place  where 
Je'sus  was  'cruciued  Avas  nigh 
to  the  "city:  and  it  was  written 
in  ^Tle'brew,  arid  ''Greek,  and 
"Lat'in. 

21  Then  said  the  chief  ^priests 
of  the  Jew§  to  Pi'late,  Write  not, 
The  King  of  the  Jews;  but 
that  he  said,  I  am  King  of  the 
Jews. 

22  Pi'late  "'answered.  What  I 
have  written  I  have  written. 

23  ^  Then  the  ^soldiers,  when 
they  had  crucified  Je'sus,  took 
his  garments,  and  made  four 
parts,  to  every  soldier  a  part;  and 
also  his  coat:  now  the  coat  was 
without  seam,  woven  from  the 
top    throughout. 

24  ^They  said  therefore  among 
themselves.  Let  us  not  rend  it, 
hut  cast  ^lots  for  it,  whose  it 
shall  be:  that  the  ^-"scripture 
might  be  fulfilled,  which  saith, 
''They  parted  my  raiment  among 
them,  and  for  my  vesture  they 
did  cast  lots.  These  things  there- 
fore the  soldiers  did. 

25  Tf  Now  there  stood  by  the 
*cross  of  Je'sus  his  ^-^mother, 
and  his  mother's  sister,  ^Ma'ry 
the  wife  of  Cle'o-phas,  and 
/:\Ia'ry   MSg-da-le'ne. 

26  When  Je'.sus  therefore  saw 
his  '^•'^mother,  and  the  "disciple 
standing  by,  whom  he  ''loved,  he 
saith  unto  his  mother.  Woman, 
behold  thy  son! 

27  Then  saith  he  to  the  ''disci- 
ple,  Behold  thy  ''mother!     And 


from  that  hour  that  disciple  *took 
''her  unto  his  own  home. 

28  ^  After  this,  Je'sus  know- 
ing that  all  things  were  now  ac- 
complished, that  the  ^'scripture 
might  be  fulfilled,  saith,  I  thirst. 

29  Now  there  was  set  a  vessel 
full  of  'vinegar:  and  they  filled  a 
'"spunge  with  vinegar,  and  put  it 
upon  "hyssop,  and  put  it  to  his 
mouth. 

30  Wlien  Je'sus  therefore  had 
I'eceived  the  'vinegar,  he  said, 
"It  is  finished:  and  he  bowed  his 
head,  and  ^gave  up  ^the  ghost. 

31  ^  The  Jews  therefore,  be- 
cause it  was  the  *])reparation, 
''that  the  bodies  should  not  re- 
main upon  the  cross  on  the  "sab- 
bath day,  (for  that  sabbath  day 
was  an  high  day,)  besought 
'Pi'late  that  their  legs  might  be 
broken,  and  that  they  migJit  be 
taken  away. 

32  Then  came  the  "soldier.?, 
and  brake  the  legs  of  the  finst, 
and  of  the  other  which  was  cru- 
cified with  him. 

33  But  when  they  came  to  Je'- 
sus, and  saw  that  he  was  dead 
already,  they  brake  not  his  legs: 

34  But  one  of  tlie  "soldiers 
with  a  *'spear  pierced  his  side, 
and  forthwith  came  there  out 
"'blood  and  water. 

35  And  "he  that  saw  it  ^bare 
^record,  and  his  record  is  true: 
and  he  knoweth  that  he  *•  ^saitli 
true,  that  ye  might  believe. 

30  F(n"  these  things  were  done, 
that  the  ^scripture  should  be 
fulfilled,  ^A  "bone  of  him  shall 
not  be  broken. 

37  x\nd  again  another  ''scrip- 
ture saith,  '^They  shall  look  on 
him  wliom  they  ])ierced. 

38  11  And  after  this  Uo'seph  of 
^Ar-i-inS,-tlue'a,  being  a  ''disci- 
ple of  Je'sus,  but  secretly  for 
'^fear  of  the  ''Jews,  besought  "Pi'-

and  took  the  body  of  Je'.sus. 

39  And  ''there  came  also  ^Nic-o- 
de'mus,  which  at  the  first  came 
to  Je'.sus  by  night,  and  brought 
a  mixture  of  'myrrh  and  ^aloes, 
about  an  hundred  pound  weight. 

40  Then  took  they  the  body  of 
Je'sus,  and  wound  it  in  linen 
clothes  with  the  'spices,  as  the 
manner  of  the  Jews  is  to  "'bury. 

41  Now  in  the  place  where  he 
was  crucified  there  was  a  "gar- 
den; and  in  the  garden  a  new 
sepulchre,  wherein  was  never 
man  yet  laid.

finds  it  empty.  3  Peter  and  John  run 
thither.  11  Jesus  appears  to  Mary  Mag-

After  eight  days  Jesus  again  appears  to 
the  disciples,  and  Thomas  believes.  .10 
The  object  for  which  John  wrote  his  gospel. 

'^rPHE  *first  daij  of  the  week 
-L  '^Cometh  **•  '']Ma'ry  M&g-da- 
le'ne  early,  when  it  was  yet  dark, 
unto  the  sepulchre,  and  seeth 
the  stone  taken  away  from  the 
sepulchre. 

2  Then  she  runneth,  and  Com- 
eth to  Si'mon  'Pe'ter,  and  to 
the  ^other  disciple,  whom  Je'.sus 
''loved,  and  saitli  unto  them, 
They  have  taken  away  the  Lord 
out  of  the  sepulchre,  and  we 
know  not  where  they  have  laid 
him. 

3  Te'ter  therefore  went  forth, 
and  that  "other  disciple,  and 
came  to  the  sepulchre. 

4  So  they  ran  both  together: 
and  the  "other  disciple  did  out- 
run Te'ter,  and  came  first  to  the 
sepulchre. 

5  And  he  stooping  down,  and 
looking  in,  saw  the  'linen  clothes 
lying;  yet  went  he  not  in. 


6  Then  cometh  Si'mon  ''Pe'ter 
following  him,  and  went  into  the 
sepulchre,  and  seeth  the  'linen 
clothes   lie, 

7  And  the  napkin,  that  was 
about  his  head,  not  lying  witli 
the  linen  clothes,  but  wrapped 
together  in  a  place  by  itself. 

8  Then  went  in  also  that  "other 
disciple,  which  came  first  to  the 
sepulchre,  and  he  saw,  and  Re- 
lieved, 

9  For  as  yet  they  '^"knew  not  the 
scripture,  that  he  must  'rise 
again  from  the  dead. 

10  Then  the  '"disciples  went 
away  again  unto  their  own  home. 

lit  But  "Ma'ry  stood  without 
at  the  sepulchre  '^•"'"weeping: 
and  as  she  wept,  she  stooped 
down,  and  looked  into  the  sep- 
ulchre, 

12  And  seeth  two  ^angels  in 
white  sitting,  the  one  at  the  head, 
and  the  other  at  the  feet,  where 
the  body  of  Je'.sus  had  lain. 

13  And  they  say  unto  her, 
Woman,  why  weepest  thou  ? 
She  saith  unto  them,  ^Because 
they  have  taken  away  my  Lord, 
and  I  know  not  where  they  have 
laid  him. 

14  And  when  ''she  had  thus 
said,  ''she  turned  herself  back, 
and  *saw  Je'sus  standing,  and 
knew  not  that  it  was  Je'.sus. 

15  Je'.sus  saith  unto  her,  Wo- 
man, why  weepest  thou  ?  whom 
seekest  thou  ?  She,  supposing 
him  to  be  the  gardener,  saith  un- 
to him.  Sir,  if  thou  have  borne 
him  hence,  tell  me  where  thou 
hast  laid  him,  and  I  will  take 
him  away. 

16  Je'sus  saith  unto  her, 
''IMa'ry.  She  turned  herself, 
and  saith  unto  him,  '•'^RS.b- 
bo'nl;  which  is  to  say,  Master. 

17  Je'sus  saith  unto  her,  Touch 
me  not;  for  I  am  not  yet  ascend-

18  '^jNIa'ry  JNIag-da-Ie'ne  came 
and  told  the  '"disciples  that  she 
had  seen  the  Lord,  and  that  lie 
had  spoken  these  things  unto 
her. 

19  T[  Then  the  same  day  at 
evening,  being  the  ^first  day  of 
the  week,  when  the  doors  were 
shut  where  the  "'disci})les  were 
assembled  for  fear  of  the  Jew.s, 
*came  Je'sus  and  stood  in  the 
midst,  and  saith  unto  them, 
^' "Peace  be  unto  you. 

20  And  when  he  had  so  said,  he 
shewed  unto  them  his  hands  and 
his  side.  Then  were  the  ^disci- 
ples glad,  when  they  saw  the 
Lord. 

21  Then  said  Je'sus  to  them 
again,  '^''^Peace  be  unto  you:  as 
7ny  '^Father  hath  "sent  me,  even 
so  'send  I  you. 

22  And  when  he  had  said  this, 
he  breathed  on  them,  and  saith 
unto  them,  Receive  ye  the  "Holy 
Ghost: 

23  ^'"^ Whose  soever  sins  ye 
'remit,  they  are  remitted  unto 
them;  and  whose  soever  sins  ye 
retain,  they  are  retained. 

24  Tf  But  ^Thom'as,  one  of  the 
^twelve,  called  Did'y-mfis,  was 
not  with  them  when  Je'sus  came. 

25  The  other  *disciples  there- 
fore said  unto  him.  We  have  seen 
the  Lord.  But  he  'said  unto 
them.  Except  I  shall  see  in  his 
hands  the  print  of  the  nails,  and 
})ut  my  finger  into  the  print  of 
the  nails,  and  thrust  ray  hand 
into  his  side,  I  will  not  believe. 

26  ^  And  after  eight  days 
again  his  ^disciples  were  Avithin, 
and  ^Thom'as  with  them:  theri 
'"came  Je'sus,  the  doors  being 
shut,  and  stood  in  the  midst, 
and  said,  "■'^Peace  be  unto  you. 

27  Then  saith  he  to  ^Thom'as, 
R«ach  hither  tliy  finger,  and  be- 


hold my  hands;  and  reach  hither 
thy  hand,  and  thrust  it  into  my 
side:  and  "'°be  not  faithless,  but 
believing. 

28  And  '^Thom'as  answered 
and  ^-'said  unto  him,  '"My  Lord 
and  my  God. 

29  Je'sus  saith  unto  him, 
''Thom'as,  because  thou  hast 
seen  me,  thou  hast  believed: 
blessed  are  they  that  have  not 
seen,   and  yet  have  believed. 

30  ^  And  many  other  'signs 
truly  did  Je'.sus  in  the  presence 
of  his  ''disciples,  which  are  not 
written  in  this  book: 

31  But  these  are  written,  that  ye 
might  'believe  that  Je'sus  is  the 
"Christ,  the  ''Son  of  God;  and 
that  '^believing  ye  might  have

cast  therefore,  and  now  they 
were  not  able  to  draw  it  for  the 
multitude  of  "fishes. 

7  Therefore  that  ^'disciple  whom 
Je'.sus  "loved  saith  unto  Te'ter, 
It  is  the  Lord.  Now  when  Sl'- 
mon  Pe'ter  heard  that  it  was  the 
Lord,  he  girt  ^his  fisher's  coat  un- 
to him,  (for  he  was  naked,)  and 
did  ^cast  himself  into  the  sea. 

8  And  the  other  disciples  came 
in  a  little  ^ship;  (for  they  were 
not  far  from  land,  but  as  it  were 
two  hundred  cubits,)  dragging 
the  'net  with  "fishes. 

9  As  soon  then  as  they  were 
come  to  land,  they  saw  a  fire  of 
coals  there,  and  "fish  laid  there- 
on, and  ^bread. 

10  Je'.sus  saith  unto  them, 
Bring  of  the  "fish  which  ye  have 
now  caught. 

11  Si'mon  *Pe'ter  went  up,  and 
drew  the  'net  to  land  full  of  great 
fishes,  an  hundred  and  fifty  and 
three:  and  for  all  there  were  so 
many, yet  was  not  the  net  broken. 

12  Je'sus  saith  unto  them. 
Come  and  dine.  And  none  of 
the  '^disciples  durst  ask  him, 
Who  art  thou  ?  knowing  that  it 
was  the  Lord. 

13  Je'.sus  then  cometh,  andtak- 
eth  ^bread,  and  giveth  them, 
and  "fish  likewise. 

14  This  is  now  the  third  time 
that  Je'.sus  ^shewed  himself  to 
his  '^disciples,  after  that  he  was 
'^risen  from  the  dead. 

15  T[  So  when  they  had  dined, 
Je'.sus  ^saith  to  Si'mon  ''Pe'ter, 
Si'mon,  son  of  'Jo'nas,  lovest 
thou  me  more  than  these  ?  He 
saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord;  thou 
knowest  that  I  ''love  thee.  He 
saith  unto  him,  "-^'Feed  my 
'^lambs. 

16  He  *saith  to  him  again  the 
second  time,  *Sl'mon,  son  of 
'  J5'nas,  lovest  thou  me  ?  He 
saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord ;  thou 

I486 


knowest  that  I  ^love  thee.  He 
saith  unto  him,  ^•'*'"Feed  my 
•^sheep. 

17  He  *saith  unto  him  the  third 
time,  ''Si'mon,  so7i  of  'Jo'nas, 
lovest  thou  me  ?  Pe'ter  was 
grieved  because  he  said  unto 
him  the  third  time,  Lovest  thou 
me  ?  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Lord,  thou  %nowest  all  things; 
thou  knowest  that  I  ^love  thee. 
Je'sus  saith  unto  him,  "-"Feed 
my  ^sheep. 

18  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
thee.  When  thou  wast  young, 
thou  girdedst  thyself,  and  walk- 
edst  whither  thou  wouldest:  but 
when  thou  shalt  be  old,  ^thou 
shalt  stretch  forth  thy  hands, 
and  another  shall  gird  thee,  and 
carry  thee  whither  thou  would- 
est not. 

19  This  spake  he,  signifying  by 
what  "death  he  should  "■'^glorify 
God.  And  when  he  had  spoken 
this,  he  saith  unto  him.  Follow 
me. 

20  Then  ''Pe'ter,  turning  about, 
seeth  the  ''disciple  whom  Je'- 
.sus 'loved  following;  which  also 
leaned  on  his  breast  at  supper, 
and  said.  Lord,  which  is  he  that 
betrayeth  thee  ? 

21  ''Pe'ter  seeing  him  saith  to 
Je'sus,  Lord,  and  what  sliall  this 
man  do  ? 

22  Je'.sus  saith  unto  him,  If  I 
will  that  he  tarry  till  I  "come, 
what  is  that  to  thee  ?  folloAv 
thou  me. 

23  Then  went  this  saying 
abroad  among  the  brethren,  that 
''that  disciple  should  not  die:  yet 
Je'sus  said  not  unto  him.  He 
shall  not  die;  but.  If  I  will  that 
he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is  that 
to  thee  ? 

24  "This  is  the  disciple  which 
'^'Hestifieth  of  these  things,  and 
wrote  these  things:  and  we  know 
that  his  testimony  is  true. 

25  And  there   are  also   many

CHAPTER  1 


Jesus  is  seen  of  his  apostles  forty  days  after 
his  resurrection.  4  His  charye  to  them. 
9  His  ascension.  10  Two  angels  foretell 
his  second  coming.  12  27ic  disciples  re- 
turn from  mount  Olivet,  and  aire  them- 
selres  to  prai/er.  15  Matthias  is  chosen 
an  apostle  in  the  place  of  Judas. 


THE  former  treatise  have  "I 
*made,  O  ^The-oph'i-liis,  of 
all  that  Je'.sus  began  both  to  do 
and  '^' ''teach, 

2  Until  the  day  in  which  he  was 
'taken  up,  after  that  he  throuo-h 
the  *Holy  Ghost  had  given  com- 
mandments unto  the  "apostles 
whom  he  had  ''chosen: 

3  ''^To  whom  also  he  ^shewed 
himself  alive  after  his  passion  by 
many  Hnfallible  proofs,  being 
seen  of  them  'forty  days,  and 
speaking  of  the  things  pertaining 
to  the  '"kingdom  of  God: 


4  And,  ^'being  assembled  to- 
gether with  them,  commanded 
them  that  they  should  not  de- 
part from  " Je-ru'sa-lem,  but  wait 
for  the  "promise  of  the  ^Father, 
which,  saith  he,  ye  have  heard 
of  me. 

5  For  *  John  truly ''baptized  with 
water;  but  *ye  shall  be  baptized 
with  the  *Holy  Ghost  not  many 
days  hence. 

6  When  they  therefore  were 
come  together,  they  asked  of 
him,  'saying,  Lord,  wilt  thou  at 
this  time  restore  again  the  king- 
dom to  Is'ra-el? 

7  And  he  said  unto  them,  It  is 
not  for  you  to  know  the  times  or 
the '^seasons,  which  the  ^■''Father 
hath  put  in  his  own  ^power. 

8  But  "ye  shall  receive  "'•  "^power

after  that  the  *Holy  Ghost  is 
come  upon  you:  and  ^ye  shall  be 
'witnesses  unto  me  both  in  ''Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  in  all  *Ju-dai'a, 
and  in  ^Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  "^unto  the 
uttermost  part  of  the  earth. 

9  And  when  he  had  spoken 
these  things,  while  they  beheld, 
he  was  ''taken  up;  and  a  cloud 
received  him  out  of  their  sight. 

10  And  while  they  looked  sted- 
fastly  toward  heaven  as  he  went 
up,  behold,  two  'men  stood  by 
them  in  white  apparel; 

11  Which  also  said,  ''Ye  men  of 
''Gal'i-lee,  why  stand  ye  gazing 
up  into  heaven  ?  this  same  Je'- 
.sus,  which  is  ''taken  up  from  you 
into  heaven,  shall  so  'come  in 
like  manner  as  ye  have  seen  him 
go  into  heaven. 

12  ^  Then  returned  they  unto 
"Je-rii'sa-lem  from  the  mount 
called  'Ol'i-vet,  which  is  from 
Je-rii'sa-lem  a  sabbath  *day's 
journey. 

13  And  when  they  were  come 
in,  they  went  up  into  an  up- 
per room,  where  abode  both  Tes- 
ter, and  "'James,  and  "John,  and 
"An'drew,  pPhil'Tp,  and  ^Tliom'- 
as,  '^Bar-thol'o-inew,  and  *]Mat-' 
thew,  Mame.s  the  son  of  Al-phaj'- 
us,  and  "Si'mon  Ze-lo'tes,  and 
"Ju'das  the  ^brother  of  James . 

14  These  all  continued  '"with 
one  accord  in  Sprayer  and  su{> 
l)lication,  with  the  ^women,  anil 
^Ma'ry  the  mother  of  Je'§us,  and 
with  his  '^brethren, 

15  ^  x\nd  in  those  days  *Pe'ter 
stood  up  in  the  midst  of  the  '^dis- 
ciples, and  said,  (the  number  of 
names  together  were  about  an 
hundred  and  twenty,) 

16  ISIen  and  brethren,  this 
'^scripture  must  needs  have  been 


'f  ulfiUed,  which  the  *Holy  Ghost 
by  the  mouth  of  'Da'vid  spake 
before  concerning  " Ju'das,  which 
was  ''■'guide  to  them  that  took 
Je'.sus. 

17  For  he  was  numbered  with 
%s,  and  had  obtained  part  of 
this  ministry. 

18  Now  ^this  man  purchased  a 
'field  with  the  reward  of  iniquity; 
and  "'falling  headlong,  he  burst 
asunder  in  the  midst,  and  all  his 
bowels  gushed  out. 

19  And  it  was  known  unto  all 
the  dwellers  at  " Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
insomuch  as  that  field  is  called 
in  their  proper  tongue,  "A-c^t^V- 
da-ma,  that  is  to  say.  The  field 
of  blood. 

20  For  it  is  written  in  the  book 
of  Psidms,  ^'^Let  his  habitation 
be  desolate,  and  let  no  man 
dwell  therein:  and  his  ^bLshop-

21  Wherefore  of  these  men 
which  liave  ^oompanied  with  us 
all  the  time  that  the  Lord  Je'.sus 
went  in  and  out  among  us, 

22  Beginning  from  the  ''bap- 
tism of  *  John,  unto  tliat  same  day 
tliat  he  was  'taken  up  from  'us, 
must  one  be  ordained  to  be  a"wit- 
ness  with  us  of  his  "resurrection. 

23  And  they  appointed  two, 
Jo'.seph  called  Bar'sa-ba,s,  who 
was  surnamed  Jiis'tus,  and  Mat- 
thl'as. 

24  And  they  "'prayed,  and  saitl, 
Thou,  Lord,  which  %nowest 
the  %earts  of  all  men,  ^shew 
whether  of  these  two  thou  hast 
'^•''chosen, 

25  That  ''he  may  take  part  of

from  which  ''Ju'das  by  trans-

30  Therefore  being  a  'prophet, 
and  knowing  that  God  had 
'"sworn  with  an  "oath  to  hiin, 
"that  ^of  the  fruit  of  his  loins, 
"according  to  the  flesh,  he  would 
raise  up  'Christ  to  sit  on  his 
''throne; 

31  'He  seeing  this  before  spake 
of  the ''resurrection  of  Christ,  that 
his  soul  was  not  left  in  ^■'^hcll, 
neither  his  flesh  did  see  "corrup- 
tion. 

32  This  Je'sus  hath  »God 
''raised  up,  whereof  'we  all  are 
"witnesses. 

33  Therefore  "being  by  the 
right  hand  of  God  "'exalted,  and 
having  received  of  the  ^-  ^Fa- 
ther the  promise  of  the  ^-^Holy 
Ghost,  ^he  hath  shed  forth  this, 
which  ye  now  see  and  hear. 

34  For  "^Da'vid  is  not  ascended 
into  the  heavens:  but  he  saith 
himself,  ''The  Lord  said  unto 
my  "^Lord,  ''Sit  thou  on  my  right 
hand, 

35  Until  I  make  thy  foes  thy 
'■footstool. 

36  Therefore  let  all  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  know  assuredly,  that 
God  hath  made  that  same  Je'- 
sus, whom  ye  have  ^crucified, 
both  "Lord  and  "Christ. 

37  Tf  Now  when  they  heard  thifi, 
they  were  ^-'pricked  in  their 
heart,  and  said  unto  ^Pe'ter  and 
to  the  rest  of  the  'apostles.  Men 
and  brethren,  what  shall  '"we  do  ? 

38  Then  *Pe'ter  said  unto 
them,  '^' "'^Repent,  and  be  "bap- 
tized every  one  of  you  in  the 
''name  of  Je'sus  Christ^for  the*rc- 
mission  of  sins,  and  'ye  shall  re- 
ceive the  gift  of  the  "Holy  Ghost. 

39  For  the  'promise  is  unto  you, 
and  to  your  "children,  and  to  all 
that  are  afar  off,  even  as  many  as 
the  Lord  our  God  shall  '"call.

^' ^murderer  to  be  granted  unto 
you ; 

15  And  killed  the  '^Prince  of  life, 
whom  ''God  hath  ''raised  from 
the  dead;  whereof  Ve  are  'wit- 
nesses. 

16  And  his  '^name  through 
'faith  in  his  name  hath  '"made 
this  man  strong,  whom  ye  see 
and  know:  yea,  the  faith  which 
is  by  him  hath  given  him  this 
perfect  soundness  in  the  pres- 
ence of  you  all. 

17  And  now,  brethren,  I  wot 
that  through  *•  "ignorance  ye  did 
it,  as  did  also  your  rulers. 

18  But  those  "'^things,  which 
'God  before  had  ''shewed  by  the 
mouth  of  all  his  prophets,  that 
^Christ  should  'suffer,  he  hath  so 
fulfilled. 

19  "•^'Repent  ye  therefore,  and 
*be  converted,  that  your  sins 
may  be  '"blotted  out,  when  the 
^times  of  refreshing  shall  come 
from  the  presence  of  the  Lord; 

20  And  he  shall  ^'send  Je'- 
sus  *ChrIst,  which  before  was 
preached  unto  you: 

21  ^Whom  the  heaven  must  re- 
ceive until  the  times  of  restitu- 
tion of  all  things,  which  God 
hath  "spoken  by  the  mouth  of 
all  his  holy  prophets  since  the 
world  began. 

22  For  "Mo'se.s  truly  <=-''said 
unto  the  fathers,  ^A  'prophet 
shall  the  Lord  your  God  raise 
up  unto  you  "of  your  brethren, 
like  unto  me;  him  shall  ye  hear 
in  all  things  whatsoever  he  shall 
say  unto  you.

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  every  soul,  which  will  not 
hear  that  ''prophet,  shall  be  ''de- 
stroyed from  among  the  people. 

24  Yea,  and  all  the  "prophets 
from  'Sam'u-el  and  those  that 
follow  after,  as  many  as  have 
spoken,  have  likew^ise  foretold  of 
these  days. 

25  Ye  are  the  children  of  the 
prophets,  and  of  the  'covenant 
which  God  made  with  our 
fathers,  saying  unto  A'bra- 
ha,m,  And  in  thy  "seed  shall 
all  the  ^kindreds  of  the  earth  be 
blessed. 

26  Unto  you  first  God,  having 
raised  up  his  -'Son  Je'.sus,  sent 
'"him  "to  bless  you,  in  "turning 
away  every  one  of  you  from  his 
iniquities.

7  And  when  'they  had  set  them

what  '"power,  or  by  what  name, 
have  ye  done  this  ? 

8  Then  ^•''Pe'ter,  ^filled  with

and  '^elders  of  I.s'ra-el, 

9  ^•''If  we  this  day  be  examined 
of  the  good  deed  done  to  the  ini-

'made  whole; 

10  ''•^Be  it  known  unto  you  all, 
and  to  all  the  people  of  Is'ra-el, 
that  by  the  "name  of  Je'sus 
Christ  of  ''Naz'a-reth,  Svhom  ye 
'crucified,  whom  *^God  ^raised 
from  the  dead,  even  by  him  doth

with  Je'.sus. 

14  And  beholding  the  man 
which  was  ^healed  standing  with 
them,  they  could  say  nothing 
against   it. 

15  But  when  they  had  com- 
manded them  to  go  aside  out 
of  the  council,  "they  conferred 
among  themselves, 

16  "Saying,  What  shall  we  do 
to  these  men  ?  for  that  indeed  a 
notable  'miracle  hath  been  done 
by  them  is  manifest  to  all  them 
that  dwell  in  ^Je-ni'sa-lem;  and 
we  cannot  deny  it. 

17  "But  that  it  spread  no  fur- 
ther among  the  jieople,  let  us 
straitly  "threaten  them,  that  the} 
speak  henceforth  to  no  man  in 
this  "name. 

18  And  they  called  them,  and 
'^-  "^commanded  them  not  to'^speak 
at  all  nor  *^-'teach  in  the  *name  of 
Je'.sus. 

19  But  "Pe'ter  and  "John  ''?•  An- 
swered and  said  unto  them, 
Whether  it  be  right  in  the  sight 
of  God  to  hearken  unto  you  more 
than  'unto  God,  judge  ye. 

20  For  '•'"we  cannot  but  '^speak 
the  things  which  we  have  seen 
and  heard. 

21  So  when  they  had  further 
"^threatened  them,  they  let  them 
go,  finding  nothing  how  they 
might  puni.sh  tliem,  because  of 
the  "|>eople:  for  all  men  ''glorified 
God  for  "that  which  was  done. 

22  For  the  man  was  above  forty 
years  old,  on  whom  this  ^miracle 
of  ^healing  wa.s  shewed.

out,  and  'buried  him. 

7  And  it  was  about  the  space 
of  three  hours  after,  when  his 
'^•^wife,  not  knowing  what  was 
done,  came  in. 

8  And  *Pe'ter  answered  unto 
her.  Tell  me  whether  ye  sold  the 
land  for  so  much  ?  And  she  said, 
"Yea,  for  so  much. 

9  Then  *Pe'ter  'said  unto  her. 
How  is  it  that  ye  have  agreed  to- 
gether to  tempt  the  ^Spirit  of  the 
Lord  ?  behold,  the  feet  of  them 
which  have  'buried  thy  husband 
are  at  the  door,  and  shall  carry 
thee  out. 

10  Then  fell  she  down  straight- 
way at  his  feet,  and  «'•'■■ 'yielded 
up  the  ghost:  and  the  young  men 
came  in,  and  found  her  dead, 
and,  carrying  her  forth,  'buried 
her  by  her  husband. 

11  And  great  fear  came  up- 
on all  the  church,  and  upon  as 
many  as  heard  these  things. 

12  Tf  And  by  the  hands  of  the 
'apostles  were  many  'signs  and 
wonders  wrought  among  the 
people;  (and  they  were  all  with 
one  accord  in  "'"Sol'o-mon's 
porch. 

13  And  of  the  rest  durst  no  man 
join  himself  to  thera:  but  the 
people  magnified  them. 


14  And  '"'^believers  were  the 
more  ^added  to  the  Lord,  multi- 
tudes both  of  men  and  women.) 

15  Insomuch  that '"they  brought 
forth  thesickinto  the  streets,  and 
laid  them  on  beds  and  couches, 
tliat  at  the  least  the  shadow  of 
^Pe'ter  passing  by  might  over- 
shadow some  of  them. 

16  There  came  also  a  multitude 
out  of  the  cities  round  al>out  un- 
to ^Je-ru'sil-lem,  bringing  sick 
folks,  and  them  which  were 
vexed  with  "unclean  spirits:  and 
they  were  *• '^healed  every  one. 

17  Tf  ''Then  the  ''high  priest  rose 
up.  and  all  they  that  were  with 
him,  (which  is  the  sect  of  the 
''Sjid'du-9ee,s,)  and  were  filled 
with  ^'"indignation, 

18  And  ''laid  their  hands  on  the 
''apostles,  and  'put  'them  in  the 
common  ^prison. 

19  But  the  'angel  of  the  Lord 
by  night  "'opened  the  prison 
doors,  and  brought  them  forth, 
and  said, 

20  Go,  "stand  and  "speak  in 
the  ^temple  to  the  people  all 
the  ^'Vords  of  this  life. 

21  And  when  they  heard  that, 
/»,«they  '-"entered  into  the  ^tem- 
ple  early  in  the  morning,  and 
"taught.  But  the  "high  priest 
came,  and  they  that  were  with 
him,  and  called  the  ""council 
together,  and  all  the  ^senate 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
sent  to  the  prison  to  have  them 
brought. 

22  But  when  the  officers  came, 
and  found  them  not  in  the  *pris- 
on,  they  returned,  and  told, 

23  Saying,  The  prison  truly 
found  we  shut  with  all  safety, 
and  the  keepers  standing  with- 
out before  the  doors:  but  when 
we  had  opened,  we  found  no  man 
within. 

24  Now  when  the  "high  priest 
and  the  captain  of  the  ^temple 
and  the  chief  priests  heard  these  I

things,    they   doubted   of   them 
whereunto   this  would  grow. 

25  Then  came  one  and  told 
them,  saying,  Behold,  the  '''^men 
whom  ye  put  in  ^'prison  are  stand- 
ing in  the  ^temple,  and  "teaching 
the  people. 

26  Then  went  the  ca{)tain  with 
the  officers,  and  brought  them 
without  violence :  for  they  feared 
the  ^people,  lest  they  should  have 
been  stoned. 

27  And  when  they  had  brought 
them,  they  set  them  before  the 
"council:  and  the  ^high  priest 
asked  them, 

28  Saying,  ^Did  we  not  straitly 
command  you  that  ye  should  not 
teach  in  this  "name  ?  and,  be- 
hold, ye  have  filled  "Je-ru'sa-lem 
with  your  ^' Moctrine,  and  intend 
to  bring  this  man's  blood  up- 
on us. 

29  Then  '^Pe'ter  and  the  other 
apostles  answered  and  ^•^•''said. 
We  ought  to  obey  ''-^God  rather 
than  men. 

30  The  God  of  our  fathers'raised 
up  Je'.sus,  *^whom  ye  'slew  and 
hanged  on  a   tree. 

31  Him  hath  God  "'exalted  with 
his  right  hand  to  be  a  ''■"Prince 
and  a  "•  ^Saviour,  for  ^to  give  ''re- 
pentance to  I.s'ra-el,  and  «'-*for- 
giveness  of  'sins. 

32  And  "•''we  are  his  ""witnesses 
of  these  things;  and  so  is  also 
the  ^Holy  Ghost,  whom  God 
hath  given  to  them  that  ''•'obey 
him. 

33  T[  When  they  heard  that, 
they  were  cut  to  the  heart,  and 
^•^'^took  counsel  to  slay  them. 

34  Then  stood  there  up  one 
in  the  "council,  a  Thar'i-see, 
named  "Ga-ma'li-el,  a  "^doctor 
of  the  law,  had  in  reputation 
among  all  the  people,  and  com- 
manded to  put  the  ^apostles 
forth  a  little  space; 

35  And  ^said  unto  them,  Ye 
men   of   Is'ra-el,   take  heed   to 


yourselves  what  ye  intend  to  do 
as  touching  these  men. 

36  For  before  these  days  rose 
up  ^TheQ'das,  ''boasting  him- 
self to  be  somebody;  to  whom  a 
number  of  men,  about  four  hun- 
dred, joined  themselves:  who 
was  *slain;  and  all,  as  many  as 
obeyed  him,  were  scattered,  and 
brought  to  nought. 

37  After  this  man  rose  up  Ju'- 
das  of  ^Gal'i-lee  in  the  days  of 
the  taxing,  and  drew  away  much 
people  after  him:  he  also  per- 
ished; and  all,  even  as  many  as 
obeyed  him,  were  dispersed. 

38  And  now  I  ^say  unto  you, 
Refrain  from  these  men,  and  let 
them  alone:  for  if  this  counsel  or 
this  work  be  of  men,  it  will  come 
to  nought: 

39  But  if  it  be  of  *God,  ye  can- 
not overthrow  it;  lest  haply  ye  be 
found  even  to  fight  against  God. 

40  And  to  him  they  agreed :  and 
when  they  had  called  the  '^apos- 
tles,  and  '•'"beaten  them,  they 
commanded  that  "they  should 
not  speak  in  the  "name  of  Je'.sus, 
and  let  them  go. 

41  And  they  departed  from  the 
presence  of  the  "council,  ^-^re- 
joicing  that  they  were  counted 
worthy  to  ''suffer  '"•'shame  for 
^his  "name. 

42  And  daily  in  the  'temple,  and 
^'"in  every  house,  they  "ceased 
not  to  "'teach  and  *^preach  Je'sus

CHAPTER  7 

Stephen's  defense.  5 1  He  accu-ff  s  the  Jews  of 
shu/irig  the  prophets  and  the  Just  One;  34 
at  ivhich  they  arc  enraged.  55  His  vision 
of  the  Son  of  man.  57  He  is  stoned  to 
death. 


THEN  .sjiid   the  "high   priest, 
Are   these  things  so  ? 

2  And  "he  "^said,  Men,  brethren, 
and  fathers,  hearken;  The  God 
of  glory  appeared  unto  our  fa- 
ther ''A'hrri-hflm,  when  he  was 
in  '']\Ies-o-p6-ta'mi-a,  before  he 
dwelt  in  ^Cliar'ran, 

3  And  said  unto  '^him,  "Get 
thee  out  of  thy  eountry,  and 
from  thy  kindred,  and  come  into 
the  *land  which  I  shall  shew 
thee. 

4  Then  Vame  '^he  out  of  the 
land  of  the  'Chal-cUe'ans,  and 
dwelt  in  'Char' ran:  and  from 
thence,  when  his  ^'father  was 
dead,  he  removed  him  into  ''this 
land,  wherein  ye  now  dwell. 

5  And  he  gave  him  none  inher- 
itance in  it,  no,  not  so  much  as  to 
set  his  foot  on:  yet  he  'promised 
that  hewould  give '"it  to  him  for  a 
possession,  and  to  his  "seed  afi'er 
him,  when  as  yet  he  had  no  child. 

6  And  God  spake  on  this  wise, 
"That  his  "'^.seed  should  sojourn 
in  a  strange  *land;  and  that  they 
should  ''bring  them  into  bond- 
age, and  entreat  them  evil  four 
hundred  years. 

7  And  "the  nation  to  whom  they 
shall  be  in  ''bondage  will  I  *judge, 
said  God:  and  after  that  shall 
they  come  forth,  and  serve  me  in 
this  place. 

8  And  he  gave  him  the  cove- 
nant of  'circumcision:  and  so 
''■  A'hra-ham  begat  "P.saac,  and 
circumcised  him  the  eighth  day; 
niid  I'sjiac  hrijdt  ^Ja'cob;  and 
Ja'cob  hrrjat  the  twelve  patri- 
archs. 

9  And  the  patriarchs,  moved 
with  '"•^envy,  sold  ^.Td'seph  into 
'E'gypt:  but  ^'"God  was  with 
him, 


10  And  ^delivered  him  out 
of  all  his  afflictions,  and  gave 
him  favour  and  'Hvisdom  in 
the  sight  of  '^Pha'raoh  '^king 
of  'E'gypt;  and  he  made  him 
governor  over  E'gyj)t  and  all 
his  house. 

11  Now  there  came  a  ''dearth 
over  all  the  land  of  Oil'gypt  and 
''Cha'naan,  and  great  affliction: 
and  our  fathers  found  no  sus- 
tenance. 

12  But  when  *Ja'cob  heard  that 
there  was  'corn  in  E'gypt,  he  sent 
out  our  fathers  first. 

13  And  at  the  second  time  '^Jo'- 
seph  was  made  known  to  his 
brethren;  and  Jo'.seph's  kindred 
was  made  known  unto  ''Pha'- 
raoh. 

14  Then  sent  '^Jo'.seph,  and 
called  his  father  'Ja'cob  to  him, 
and  all  his  kindred,  ^threescore 
and  fifteen  souls. 

15  So  '^Ja'cob  went  down  into 
'E'gypt,  and  "'died,  he,  and  our 
fathers, 

16  And  were  carried  over  into 
"Sy'chem,  and  laid  in  the  "'''se|> 
ulchre  that  *A'bra-ham  bought 
for  a  sum  of  ''money  of  the  sons 
of  *Em'm6r  the  father  of  Sy'- 
chem. 

17  But  when  the  time  of  the 
'promise  drew  nigh,  which  God 
had  sworn  to  *A'bra-ham,  the 
people  grew  and  multi])lied  in 

'E'gvpt; 

18  "Till  another  king  arose, 
which  knew  not   ^^Jo'.seph. 

19  The  same  *'dealt  subtilly 
with  our  kindred,  and  evil  en- 
treated our  fathers,  so  that  they 
'"cast  out  their  'young  children, 
to  the  end  they  might  not 
live. 

20  In  which  time  ^i\ looses  was 
born,  and  was  exceeding  fair, 
and  nourished  up  in  his  father's 
house  three  months: 

21  And  when  he  was  cast  out, 
''Pha'raoh's  daughter  took  him

own  son. 

22  And  '^Mo'ses  was  learned  in 
all  the  ''wisdom  of  the  ''E-gyp'- 
tians,  and  was  mighty  in  words 
and  in  deeds. 

23  And  when  he  was  ^full  forty 
years  old,  it  came  into  his  heart 
to  visit  his  brethren  the  children 
of  I§'ra-el. 

24  And  seeing  one  oj  them  suffer 
wrong,  "he  '^defended  liim,  and 
avenged  him  that  was  oppressed, 
and  *'^smote  the  E-gyp'tian: 

25  For  he  supposed  his  breth- 
ren would  have  understood  how 
that  "God  by  his  hand  would  de- 
liver them:  but  they  understood 
not. 

26  And  the  next  day  he  shewed 
himself  unto  them  as  they  '^strove, 
and  would  have  set  them  at  *one 
again,  saying,  Sirs,  ye  are  'breth- 
ren; why  do  ye  wrong  one  to 
another  ? 

27  But  he  that  did  his  neigh- 
bour wrong  thrust  him  away, 
saying.  Who  made  thee  a  ruler 
and  a  judge  over  us  ? 

28  Wilt  thou  kill  me,  as  thou 
diddest  the  ^-gyp'tian  yester- 
day ? 

29  Then  fled  "Mo'ses  at  this 
saying,  and  %as  a  stranger  in 
the  land  of  Ma'di-an,  where  he 
begat  two  sons. 

30  And  when  forty  years  were 
expired,  there  appeared  to  him 
in  the  wilderness  of  mount  *^Si'- 
na  an  ^angel  of  the  Lord  in  a 
flame  of  fire  in  a  ™bush. 

31  When  "■\l5'ses  saw  it,  he 
wondered  at  the  sight:  and  as  he 
drew  near  to  behold  it,  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  came  unto  him, 

32  Saying,  "I  am  the  God  of  thy 
fathers,  the  God  of  A'bra-hjim, 
and  the  God  of  I'saac,  and  the 
God  of  Ja'cob.  Then  IMo'.ses 
trembled,  and  durst  not  behold. 

33  Then  said  the  Lord  to  him, 
"•pPut  off  thy  «shoes  from  thy 


feet:  for  the  place  where  thou 
standest  is  holy  ground. 

34  ''I  have  seen,  I  have  seen  the 
^affliction  of  my  people  which  is 
in  "E'gypt,  and  'I  have  heard 
their  groaning,  and  am  come 
down  "to  deliver  them.  And  now 
"come,  I  will  send  thee  into 
E'gypt. 

35  This  Mo'ses  whom  they  re- 
fused, saying.  Who  made  thee  a 
ruler  and  a  judge  ?  the  same  did 
"God  send  to  be  a  ruler  and  a  de- 
liverer by  the  hand  of  the  'angel 
which  appeared  to  him  in  the 
'"bush. 

36  He  brought  them  out,  after 
that  he  had  shewed  "-"'wonders 
and  signs  in  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
and  in  the  ^Red  sea,  and  in  the 
wilderness  forty  years. 

37  This  is  that  Mo'ses,  which 
said  unto  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el, 
"A  ^prophet  shall  Hhe  Lord  your 
God  raise  up  unto  you  of  your 
brethren,  like  unto  ''me;  ^him 
shall  ye  hear. 

38  This  is  he,  that  was  in  the 
''church  in  the  wilderness  with 
the  '^angel  which  spake  to  him  in 
the  mount  '^Sl'na,  and  with  our 
'^fathers:  who  received  the  •'lively 
''"oracles  to  give  unto  us: 

39  To  whom  our  fathers  would 
''not  obey,  but  thrust  him  from 
them,  and  in  their  hearts  turned 
back  again  into  *E'gypt, 

40  Saying  unto  'Aar'on,  ^INIake 
us  gods  to  go  before  us:  for  as 
for  this  Mo'ses,  which  brought 
us  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  we 
^vot  not  what  is  become  of  him. 

41  And  they  made  a  'calf  in 
those  days,  and  "'offered  sacri- 
fice unto  the  idol,  and  rejoiced 
in  the  works  of  their  own  hands. 

42  Then  God  turned,  and  gave 
"them  up  to  worship  the  "host  of 
heaven;  as  it  is  written  in  the 
book  of  the  prophets.  ^O  ye 
house  of  Ls'ra-el,  have  ye  offered 
to  me  slain  beasts  and  sacrifices

by  the  sjxire  of  forty  years  in  the 
wilderness  ? 

43  Yea,  ye  took  up  the  taber- 
nacle of  *Mo'loeh,  and  the  star 
of  your  god  Reni'phan,  figures 
which  ye  made  to  worship  them: 
and  I  will  carry  you  away  be- 
yond '^Bab'y-lon. 

44  Our  fathers  had  the  *taber- 
nacle  of  witness  in  the  wilder- 
ness, as  he  had  appointed,  speak- 
ing unto  'Mo'ses,  that  he  .should 
make  it  according  to  the  "fashion 
that  he  had  seen. 

45  Which  also  our  fathers  that 
came  after  brought  in  with  "Je'- 
,sus  into  the  possession  of  the 
"'Gen'tlles,  whom  ^God  drave 
out  before  the  face  of  our  fathers, 
unto  the  days  of  ^Da'vid; 

40  ^Yho  found  ^favour  before 
God,  and  "desired  to  find  a  ^'  *tab- 
ernacle  for  the  God  of  Ja'cob. 

47  But  '"SSFo-mon  built  him  an 
^house. 

48  Howbeit  the  ''most  High 
''dwelleth  not  in  temples  made 
with  hands;  as  saith  the  ^prophet, 

49  "-''Heaven  is  ''my  ^throne, 
and  earth  is  my  'footstool:  what 
liouse  will  ye  build  me  ?  saith  the 
Lord:  or  what  is  the  place  of  my 
rest  ? 

50  ''Hath  not  my  hand  '^made 
all  these  things  ? 

51 1  'Ye'"-'^stifTneckedand«un- 
circumcised  in  heart  and  ears, 
ye  do  always  resist  the  "Holy 
Ghost:  as  your  fathers  did,  so 
do  ye. 

52  Which  of  the  ^prophets  have 
not  your  fathers  ''persecuted  ? 
and  they  have  slain  them  which 
shewed  before  of  the  coming  of 
the  "'*•'■  Just  One;  of  whom  ye 
have  been  now  the  "betrayers 
and  murderers: 

53  'Who  have  received  the  "law 
^"by  the  disposition  of  "angels, 
and  have  "'not  kept  it. 


54  ^  When  they  heard  these 
things,  they  were  cut  to  the  heart, 
and  they  -^gnashed  on  ^him  with 
their  teeth. 

55  But  "he,  being  ^'ull  of  the 
"Holy  Ghost,  looked  up  stcd- 
fastly  into  heaven,  and  *saw  the 
"^glory  of  God,  and  '' Jc'sus  stand- 
ing on  the  right  hand  of  God, 

56  And  said,  Behold,  I  see  the 
heavens  opened,  and  the  ''Son  of 
man  standing  on  the  right  hand 
of  God. 

57  Then  they  cried  out  with  a 
loud  voice,  and  stopped  their 
ears,  and  ''•''ran  upon  him  with 
one  accord, 

58  And  ^•''cast  Itim  out  of  the 
city,  and  "•''•^stoned  Jiini:  and 
the  'witnesses  laid  down  their 
clothes  at  a  ^young  man's  feet, 
whose  name  was  'Saul. 

59  And  they  "stoned  '"Ste'phen, 
''•"calling  upon  "(7o(/,  and  ''say- 
ing, *Lord  Je'sus,  receive  '^my 
spirit. 

60  And  ""he  kneeled  down,  and 
*• 'cried  with  a  loud  voice,  I^ord, 
u.v.w.x^^y  not  this  sin  to  ^'their 
charo;e.  And  when  he  had  said 
this,  he  fell  ^asleep.

phen  to  his  ^burial,  and  made 
great  lamentation  over  him. 

3  As  for  "Saul,  he  ^■''•''made 
havock  of  the  ^church,  entering 
into  every  house,  and  haling  men 
and  women  committed  them  to 
^'prison. 

4  Therefore  they  that  were 
scattered  abroad  'went  every 
where  '"preaching   the  "word. 

5  T[  Then  ^Phil'ip  went  down 
to  the  city  of  *Sa-ma'ri-a,  and 
'"preached  "Christ  unto  them. 

6  And  the  people  with  one  ac- 
cord gave  heed  unto  those  things 
which  ^Phil'ip  '"spake,  hearing 
and  seeing  the  ^miracles  which 
he   did. 

7  For  ^unclean  spirits,  crying 
with  loud  voice,  ^came  out  of 
many  that  were  possessed  tvith 
them:  and  many  taken  widi  ''pal- 
sies, and  that  were  *lame,  were 
'healed. 

8  And  there  was  great  "joy  in 
that  city. 

9  But  there  was  a  certain  man, 
called  Si'mon,  which  before- 
time  in  the  same  city  used  "sor- 
cery, and  ^'"'bewitched  the  peo- 
ple of  'Sa-ma'ri-a,  ^giving  out 
that  himself  was  some  great 
oner 

10  To  whom  they  all  gave  heed, 
from  the  least  to  the  greatest, 
saying,  This  man  is  the  great 
power  of  God. 

11  x\nd  to  him  they  had  re- 
gard, because  that  of  long  time 
he  had  ^•'"bewitched  them  with 
^'sorceries. 

12  But  when  they  Relieved 
^Phil'ip  '"preaching  ^the  things 
concerning  the  ^kingdom  of  God, 
and  the  "name  of  Je'sus  Christ, 


they  were  ^baptized,  both  men 
and  women, 

13  Then  Si'mon  himself  ^be- 
lieved also:  and  when  he  was 
''baptized,  he  continued  with 
^Phil'ip,  and  ^wondered,  behold- 
ing the '^miracles  and  signs  which 
were  done. 

14  ^  Now  when  the  ^apostles 
which  were  at  ^Je-ni'sa-lem 
heard  that  "Sa-ma'ri-a  had  re- 
ceived the^word  of  God,  they  sent 
unto  them  'Pe'ter  and  Uohn: 

15  Who,  when  they  were  come 
down,  Sprayed  for  them,  that  they 
might  receive  the  'Holy  Ghost: 

16  (For  as  yet  he  was  fallen 
upon  none  of  them:  only  they 
were  ''baptized  ^in  the  "name  of 
the  Lord  Je'sus.) 

17  Then  laid  they  their  '"hands 
on  them,  and  they  received  the 
'Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  when  Si'mon  saw  that 
through  laying  on  of  the  apos- 
tles' '"hands  the  'Holy  Ghost  was 
given,  he  offered  them  "^money, 

19  Saying,  "Give  me  also  this 
power,  that  on  whomsoever  I  lay 
hands,  he  may  receive  the  'Holy 
Ghost. 

20  But  p-«Pe'ter  'said  unto  him, 
Thy  ''money  perish  with  thee, 
because  thou  hast  thought  that 
the  'gift  of  God  may  be  pur- 
chased with   money. 

21  '^Thou  hast  neither  part 
nor  lot  in  this  matter:  for  thy 
*•'•  "heart  is  not  right  in  the  sight 
of  God. 

22  ^Repent  therefore  of  this 
thy  wickedness,  and  '"pray  God, 
if  perhaps  the  thought  of  thine 
heart  may  be   ^forgiven  thee.

2^  Then  answered  Sl'inon,  and 
said,  "Pray  ye  to  tlie  Lord  for  me, 
that  none  of  these  things  which 
ve  have  spoken  come  upon  me. 

25  And  they,  when  they  had 
''testified  and  'preached  the 
''word  of  the  Lord,  returned  to 
''Je-ni'sii-lcm,  and  preached  the 
''•/gospel  in  many  villages  of  the 
■'Sa-nijir'i-tans. 

26  t  And  the  ''angel  of  the 
Lord  spake  unto  ^Phirtp,  say- 
ing. Arise,  and  go  toward  the 
south  unto  the  way  that  goeth 
down  from  ^Je-rii'sa-lem  unto 
'Ga'za,  which   is   desert. 

27  And  he  arose  and  went: 
and,  behold,  a  man  of  ^E-thi- 
o'pi-a,  an  '^eunuch  of  great  au- 
thority under  'Can'da-9e  '"queen 
of  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans,  Avho  had 
the  charge  of  all  her  treasure, 
and  had  come  to  *Je-ru'sa-lem 
for  to   ''worship, 

28  Was  returning,  and  sitting  in 
his  "chariot  read  ^E-ga'ias  the 
'prophet. 

29  Then  the  Spirit  ''said  unto 
^Phil'ip,  *Go  near,  and  join  thy- 
self to  this  "chariot. 

30  And  ^Phll'ip  ran  thither  to 
him,  and  heard  him  read  the 
'prophet  ^E-sa'ias,  and  said, 
Understandest  thou  what  thou 
readest  ? 

31  And  he  said.  How  can  I,  ex- 
cept some  man  should  'guide 
me?  And  he  Mesired  ^Phil'ip 
that  he  would  come  up  and  sit 
with  him. 

32  The  place  of  the  scripture 
which  he  read  was  this,  "He  was 
led  as  a  sheep  to  the  slaughter; 
and  like  a  '"lamb  dumb  before 
his  shearer,  ^so  opened  he  not 
his  mouth: 

33  "In  his  humiliation  his  judg- 
ment was  taken  away:  and  who 
shall  declare  his  generation  ?  for 
his  life  is  taken  from  the  earth. 


^eunuch  answered 
said,    I  pray  thee, 


34  And  tlu 
tPhil'ip,  and 

of  whom  speaketh  the  ^prophet 
this  ?  of  himself,  or  of  some  other 
^man  ? 

35  Then  '''Piiil'ip  opened  his 
moutii,  and  began  at  the  same 
scripture,  and  '-^preached  unto 
him  Je'^us. 

36  And  as  they  went  on  their 
way,  they  came  unto  a  certain 
water:  and  the  ^eunuch  said,  See, 
here  is  water;  what  doth  hinder 
me  to  be  ^baptized  ? 

37  ^And  Phil'ip  said,  ''If  thou 
believest  with  all  thine  heart,

and  said,  I  "-'^believe  that  Je'sus

"chariot  to  stand  still:  and  they 
went  down  both  into  the  water, 
both  ^Phil'ip  and  the  ''eunuch; 
and  he  'baptized  him. 

39  And  when  they  were  come 
up  out  of  the  water,  the  "Spirit  of 
the  Lord  caught  away  ''^Phil'ip, 
that  the  ^eunuch  saw  him  no 
more:  and  he  went  on  his  way 
'rejoicing. 

40  But  ^Phil'ip  was  found  at

he  '^■preached  ^in  all  the  cities,

3  And  as  he  journeyed,  he  came 
near  *Da-mas'cus:  and  suddenly 
there  shined  round  about  him  a 
"'^Hght  from  heaven: 

4  "And  he  fell  to  the  earth, 
and  heard  a  voice  saying  unto 
him,  "Saul,  Saul,  why  ''persecut- 
est  thou  me  ? 

5  And  he  said,  Who  art  thou. 
Lord  ?  And  the  Lord  said,  I  am 
Je'sus  whom  thou  ''persecutest: 
^it  is  hard  for  thee  to  kick 
against  the  pricks. 

6  ^A  nd  he  trembling  and  aston- 
ished said,  Lord,  vrhat  wilt  thou 
have  me  to  do  ?  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  him,  Arise,  and  go  into 
the  city,  and  it  shall  be  told  thee 
what  thou  must  do, 

7  And  the  men  which  journeyed 
with  him  stood  speechless,  hear- 
ing a  voice,  but  seeing  no  man. 

8  And  "Saul  arose  from  the 
earth;  and  when  his  eyes  were 
opened,  he  saw  *'*no  man:  but 
they  led  him  by  the  hand,  and 
brought  him  into  ^Da,-mas'cus. 

9  x\nd  he  wa.s  three  days  *with- 
out  sigiit,  and  'neither  did  eat 
nor  drink. 

10  ^  And  there  was  a  certain 
Misciple  at  "^Da-mris'cus,  named 
"An-a-nl'as;  and  to  him  said  the 
Lord  in  a  *vision,  An-a-nT'as. 
And  he  said,  Behold,  I  am  here, 
Lord. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  imto  him. 
Arise,  and  go  into  the  street 
which  is  called  Straight,  and  en- 
quire in  the  house  of  Ju'das  for 


o*ie  called  Saul,  of  ^Tar'sus:  for, 
behold,  he  "prayeth, 

12  And  hath  seen  ^in  a  *vision 
a  man  named  "An-a-ni'as  com- 
ing in,  and  putting  his  hand  on 
him,  that  he  might  receive  his 
sight, 

13  Then  "An-a-ni'as  "'•^*  An- 
swered, Lord,  I  have  heard  by 
many  of  this  man,  how  much 
evil  he  hath  done  to  thy  saints 
at  Je-rii'sa-leni : 

14  And  here  he  hath  authority 
from  the  chief  priests  to  ^bind  all 
that  call  on  thy  name. 

15  But  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Go  thy  way:  for  he  is  a  "cho- 
sen vessel  unto  me,  to  bear  my 
"name  before  the  '^Gen'tlles,  and 
kings,  and  the  children  of  I.s'- 
ra-el: 

16  For  I  will  shew  him  how 
^great  things  ''he  must  ^suffer  for 
my  ^name's  sake. 

17  And  An-a-ni'as  went  his 
way,  and  entered  into  the  house ; 
and  putting  his  hands  on  him 
said.  Brother  Saul,  the  Lord, 
even  Je'gus,  that  ^appeared  unto 
thee  in  the  way  as  thou  camest, 
hath  sent  me,  that  thou  mightest 
receive  thy  sight,  and  be  filled 
with  the  "Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  immediately  there  fell 
from  his  eyes  as  it  had  been 
scales:  and  he  ''received  sight 
forthwith,  and  arose,  and  was 
'baptized.

^Saul    certain 
with   the   ^'disciples  whicli  were 
at  'Da-mas'cus. 

20  And  "'straightway  ^-'he 
"preached  "Christ  in  the  ^syna- 
gogues, tiiat  he  is  the  *Son  of 
God. 

21  But  all  that  heard  him  were 
amazed,  and  said;  Is  not  this  he 
tliat  destroyed  them  which  called 
on  this  ''name  in  ''Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  came  hither  for  that  intent, 
that  he  might  bring  them  bound 
unto  the  chief  priests  ? 

22  But  ^Saul  increased  the  more 
in  strength,  and  confounded  the 
*Jew.s  which  dwelt  at  'Da-mas'- 
cus,  proving  that  this  is  very 
"Christ. 

23  Tf  And  after  that  many  days 
were  fulfilled,  the  Jews  "^''took 
counsel   to  kill  him: 

24  But  their  ^''laying  await 
was  known  of  'Saul.  And  'they 
watched  the  gates  day  and  nigiit 
to  kill  him. 

25  Then  the  disciples  took  him 
by  night,  and  let  him  down  by 
the  wall  in  a  "basket. 

26  And  when  ^Saul  was  come  to 
'■Je-ru'sa-lem,  he  assayed  to  join 
himself  to  the  ^'disciples:  but 
they  were  all  afraid  of  him,  and 
believed  not  that  he  was  a  dis- 
ciple. 

27  But  "Biir'na-bas  took  him, 
and  brought  Itim  to  the  ""apos- 
tles, and  declared  unto  them 
how  he  had  seen  the  Lord  in  the 
way,  and  that  he  had  spoken  to 


him,  and  how  he  liad  "preached 
•''boldly  at  'Da-miis'cus  in  the 
^name  of  Je^sus. 

28  And  he  was  with  them  com- 
ing in  and  going  out  at  ''Je-ru'- 
sfdem. 

29  And  he  "-^spake  ^boldly  in 
the  "name  of  the  Lord  Je'sus, 
and  disputed  against  the  '"-"Gre'- 
9ian.s:  l)ut  they  went  about  to 
^slay  him. 

30  Which  when  the  brethren 
knew,  they  brought  ''him  down 
to  '^(^aes-a-re'a,  and  sent  him 
forth   to  ^Tar'sus. 

31  Then  had  the  'k'hurches 
rest  throughout  all  '^Ju-dae'a  and 
^Gal'i-lee  and  ^Sa-ma'ri-a,  and 
were  edified;  and  walking  in  the 
^fear  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
comfort  of  the  "Holy  Ghost, 
were  ''multiplied. 

32  Tf  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
Te'ter  passed  throughout  all 
quarters,  he  came  down  also 
to  the  saints  which  dwelt  at 
'Lyd'da. 

33  And  there  he  found  a  cer- 
tain man  named  ^E'ne-as,  which 
had  kept  his  bed  eight  years,  and 
was  sick  of  the  ^palsy. 

34  And  Te'ter  said  unto  him, 
/E'ne-as,  'Je'§us  Christ  maketh 
thee  whole:  arise,  and  make  thy 
bed.  And  "'he  "arose  immedi- 
ately. 

35  And  "all  that  dwelt  at  'Lyd'- 
da  and  ^Sa'ron  saw  him,  and 
"'^-'^ turned  to  the  Lord.

a  certain  'di.sciple  named  TS,b'- 
i-tha,  which  by  interpretation  is 
called  Dor'cas:  this  "woman 
was  full  of  ''good  "'works  and 
''•  ^' %lrasdeeds  which  she  did. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  that  she  was  sick,  and 
died:  ^'honi  when  they  had 
''washed,  they  laid  her  in  an  *up- 
per  chamber. 

38  And  forasmuch  as  '^Lyd'da 
was  nigh  to  '^Jop'pa,  and  the 
^disciples  had  heard  that  Tester 
was  there,  they  sent  unto  him 
two  men,  ^^desiring  him  that  he 
would  not  delay  to  come  to  them. 

39  Then  Te'ter  arose  and  went 
with  them.  When  he  was  come, 
they  brought  him  into  the  *up- 
per  chamber:  and  all  the  wid- 
ows stood  by  him  weeping,  and 
shewing  the  ^•'^coats  and  gar- 
ments which  Dor'cas  made,  while 
she  was  with  them. 

40  But  Te'ter  put  them  all 
forth,  and  kneeled  down,  and 
Sprayed;  and  turning  him  to  the 
body  said,  Tab'i-tha,  arise.  And 
she  'opened  her  eyes:  and  when 
she  saw  Pe'ter,  she  sat  up. 

41  And  he  gave  her  his  hand, 
and  lifted  her  up,  and  when  he 
had  called  the  saints  and  wid- 
ows, presented  her  'alive. 

42  And  it  was  known  through- 
out all  '^Jop'pa;  and  many  '-^be- 
lieved in  the  Lord. 

43  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he 
'tarried  many  days  in  ''Jop'pa 
with  one  '"Si'mon  a  "^tanner. 

CHAPTER  10 

The  vision,  of  Cornelius.  7  He  sends  for 
Peter.  9  Peter's  zJision.  19  He  goes  to 
Cornelius.  24  trho  receives  him  gladly. 
34  Peter  preaches  Christ.  44  The  Holy 
Ghost  falls  on  all  that  lieard  tlie  word;  47 
and  they  are  baptized. 

rilHERE  was  a  certain  man 
-L  in  '^^fes-a-re'a  called  Cor- 
ne'lT-us,  a  *• '^centurion  of  the 
'^band  called  the  I-tal'ian  baiid, 
2  A  devout  man,  and  one  that 
''feared  God  with  all  his  ^house, 
which  ''"gave  much  ''alms  to  the 


^people,  and  'prayed  to  God  al- 
way. 

3  He  saw  in  a  ''^vision  ^evidently 
about  the  ninth  hour  of  the  day 
an  'angel  of  God  coming  in  to 
him,  and  saying  unto  him,  Cor- 
ne'li-iis. 

4  And  when  he  looked  on  him, 
he  was  afraid,  and  said.  What  is 
it.  Lord  ?  And  he  '"said  un- 
to him,  Thy  prayers  and  thine 
'■"•''alms  are  come  up  for  a  me- 
morial before  God. 

5  And  now  send  men  to  "Jop'- 
pa,  and  ^call  for  one  Si'mon, 
whose  surname  is  "Pe'ter: 

6  He  "lodgeth  with  one  «Sf- 
mon  a  ''tanner,  whose  house  is 
by  the  sea  side:  ^he  shall  tell 
thee  what  thou  oughtest  to  do. 

7  And  when  the  'angel  which 
spake  unto  C6r-ne'li-us  was  de- 
parted, he  called  two  of  his 
household  "servants,  and  a  de- 
vout soldier  of  them  that  waited 
on  him  continually; 

8  And  when  he  had  declared 
all  these  things  unto  them,  he 
sent  them   to   "Jop'pa. 

9  ^  On  the  morrow,  as  they 
went  on  their  journey,  and  drew 
nigh  unto  the  city,  "Pe'ter  went 
up  upon  the  'housetop  to  "pray 
about  the  sixth  hour: 

10  And  he  became  very  ^hun- 
gry, and  would  have  eaten:  but 
while  they  made  ready,  he  fell 
into  a  "'trance, 

11  And  ^saw  heaven  opened, 
and  a  certain  vessel  descending 
unto  him,  as  it  had  been  a  great 
sheet  ^knit  at  the  four  corners, 
and  let  down  to  the  earth: 

12  ^Wherein  were  all  manner  of 
fourfooted  ^beasts  ^of  the  earth, 
and  wild  beasts,  and  creeping 
things,  and  fowls  of  the  air. 

13  And  there  came  a  voice  to 
him,  Rise,  "Pe'ter;  kill,  and  eat. 

14  But  Pe'ter  said,  Not  so,  Lord; 
for  I  have  never  eaten  any  thing 
that  is  common  or  unclean.

15  And  tlie  voice  spake  unto 
him  again  the  second  time,  What 
God  hath  cleansed,  that  call  not 
thou  common, 

16  This  was  done  thrice:  and 
the  vessel  was  received  up  again 
into  heaven. 

17  Now  while  "Pe'ter  Moubted 
in  himself  what  this  ^vision 
which  he  had  seen  should  mean, 
behold,  the  men  which  were  sent 
from  Cor-ne'li-tis  had  made  en- 
quiry for  "^Sl'mon's  house,  and 
stood  before  the  gate, 

18  And  called,  and  asked 
whether  Si'mon,  which  was  sur- 
named  "Pe'ter,  were  lodged 
there. 

19  ^VhiIe  Pe'ter  thought  on  the 
"vision,  the  '^Spirit  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  three  men  seek  thee. 

20  ^Arise  therefore,  and  get 
thee  down,  and  g(;  with  them, 
doubting  nothing:  for  I  have  sent 
them. 

21  Then  "Pe'ter  went  down  to 
tlie  men  ''which  were  sent  unto 
him  from  Cor-ne'li-iis;  and  said. 
Behold,  I  am  he  whom  ye  seek: 
what  is  the  cause  wherefore  ye 
are  come? 

22  And  they  said,  Cor-ne'li-iis 
the  centurion,  a  just  man,  and 
one  that  'feareth  God,  and  of 
good  report  among  all  the  nation 
of  the  Jews,  was  warned  from 
God  by  an  holy  "angel  to  send 
for  thee  into  his  house,  and  to 
hear  words  of  thee. 

23  Then  called  he  them  in,  and 
''lodged  them.  And  on  the  mor- 
row "Pe'ter  went  away  with 
them,  and  certain  brethren  from 
'Jop'pa  accompanied  him. 

24  And  the  morrow  after  they 
entered  into  ' (^'ses-a-re'a.  And 
Cor-ne'li-us  waited  for  them,  and 
had  called  together  his  kinsmen 
and  near  friends. 

25  And  as  "Pe'ter  was  cominci; 


in,  Cor-ne'li-iis  met  him,  and 
fell  down  at  his  feet,  and  *wor- 
shipped  him. 

26  ^'But  Pe'ter  took  him  up, 
saying.  Stand  up;  I  myself  also 
am  a  man. 

27  And  as  he  talked  with  him, 
he  went  in,  and  found  many  that 
were  come  together. 

28  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye 
know  how  that  it  is  an  unla^vful 
thins:  for  a  man  that  is  a  Jew  to 
keep  company,  or  come  unto  one 
of  anoLiier  nation;  but  'God  hatli 
shewed  me  that  I  should  not  call 
any  '"man  common  or  unclean. 

29  Therefore  came  I  tinto  you, 
without  gainsaying,  as  soon  as  I 
was  sent  for:  I  ask  therefore  for 
what  intent  ye  have  sent  for  me  ? 

30  And  Cor-ne'li-iis  said,  Four 
days  ago  ^I  was  "fasting  until 
this  hour;  and  at  the  ninth  hour 
I  "prayed  in  my  house,  and,  be- 
hold, a  "man  stood  before  me  in 
bright  clothing, 

31  And  "said,  C6r-ne'li-us,  thy 
'prayer  is  heard,  and  thine 
''•^•'alms  are  had  in  remembrance 
in  the  sight  of  God. 

32  Send  therefore  to  ^Jop'pa, 
and  call  hitlier  Si'mon,  whose 
surname  is  "Pe'ter;  he  is  lodged 
in  the  house  of  one  '^Si'mon  a 
tanner  by  the  sea  side:  ®who, 
when  he  cometh,  shall  speak 
unto  thee. 

33  Immediately  therefore  I  sent 
to  thee;  and  thou  hast  well  done 
that  thou  art  come.  Now  there- 
fore are  we  all  here  present  be- 
fore God,  to  hear  all  things  that 
are  commanded  thee  of  '°God, 

34  ^  Then  ''Pe'ter  opened  his 
mouth,  and  said.  Of  a  truth  I 
perceive  that  ''God  is  '"no  ^re- 
specter of  persons: 

35  But  '"in  every  ^nation  he  that 
^feareth  him,  and  worketh  right- 
eousness, is  "accepted  with  him.

^unto  witnesses  chosen  before  of

from  the  dead. 

42  And  he  ^commanded  us  "to

to  the  Gentiles  in  Antioch.  22  Barnabas 
is  sent  from  Jerusalem  to  Antioch,  25  and 
seeks  for  Saul.  26  The  disciples  are 
called  Christians  first  in  Antioch.  27  .1

send  relief  to  the  brethren  in  Judea. 

AND  the  "apostles  and  breth- 
ren that  were  in  "Ju-diie'a 
heard  that  tlie  '"Gen'tllcs  had  also 
received  the  ''word  of  God. 

2  And  when  '^Pe'ter  was  come 
up  to  Me-ru'sa-lem,  they  that 
were  of  the  "circumcision  *con- 
tended   with   him, 

3  ''Saying,  Thou  wentest  in  to 
men  uncircumcised,  and  didst 
eat  with  them. 

4  But  Te'ter  rehearsed  the  m-af-

pounded it  by  order  unto  them, 
saying, 

5  ''I  was  in  the  city  of  '  J6j)'pa

a  '"vision,  A  certain  vessel  de-

8  But  1  said,  Not  so,  Lord: 
for  nothing  common  or  unclean 
hath  at  any  time  entered  into  my 
mouth. 

9  But  the  voice  answered  me 
again  from  heaven,  Wliat  God 
hath  clean.sed,  that  call  not  thou 
common. 

10  And  this  was  done  three 
times:  and  all  were  drawn  up 
again   into   heaven. 

11  And,  behold,  immediately 
there  were  three  men  already 
come  unto  the  house  where  I 
was,  .sent  from  "Ca^s-a-re'a  unto 
me. 

12  And  the  sjiirit  "bade  me  go 
with  them,  hiothing  doubting. 
^Moreover  these  six  brethren  ac- 
companied me,  and  we  entered 
into  the  man's  house: 

13  And  he  shewed  us  how  he 
had  seen  an  ^angel  in  his  house, 
which  stood  and  said  unto  him, 
Send  men  to  ^Jop'|)a,  and  'call 
for  Si'mon,  whose  surname  is 
''Pe'ter; 

14  Who  shall  tell  thee  words, 
whereby  thou  and  all  thy  house 
shall  be  saved. 

15  And  as  I  began  to  speak,  the 
''Holy  Ghost  fell  on  them,  as  on 
us  at  the  beginniiTg. 

16  Then  remembered  I  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  how  tliat  he 
said,  John  indeed  '^baj^tized  with 
water;  but  ye  shall  be  baptized 
with  the  «Holy  Ghost. 

17  Forasmuch  then  as  God 
*gave  them  the  like  '-''"gift  as 
he  did  unto  us,  who  ''believed  on 
the  ""Lord  Je'sus  Christ;  what 
was  I,  that  1  could  withstand 
God?

came  unto  the  ^iron  "gate  that 
leadeth  unto  the  city;  which 
''opened  to  them  of  his  own  ac- 
cord: and  they  went  out,  and 
passed  on  through  one  street; 
and  forthwith  the  angel  departed 
from  him. 

11  And  when  '^Pe'ter  was  come 
to  himself,  he  said.  Now  I  know 
of  a  surety,  that  the  '^Lord  hath 
sent  his  angel,  and  hath  *deliv- 
ered  me  out  of  the  hand  of 
Her'od,  and  from  all  the  expec-

12  And  when  he  had  consid-

^house  of  "'''jNIa'ry  the  mother 
of  John,  whose  surname  was

13  And  as  Te'ter  knocked  at 
the  door  of  the  gate,  a  damsel 
came  to  hearken,  named  Rho'da. 

14  And  when  she  knew  Tes- 
ter's voice,  she  opened  not  the 
o;ate  for  ^gladness,  but  ran  in, 
and  told  how  Pc'ter  stood  be- 
fore   the   gate. 

15  And  tliey  said  unto  her, 
Thou  art  mad.  But  she  ^con- 
stantly affirmed  that  it  was  even 
so.  Then  said  they.  It  is  his 
angel. 

16  But  Te'ter  continued  knock- 
ing: and  when  they  had  opened 
the  door,  and  saw  him,  they  were 
astonished. 

17  But  he,  beckoning  unto 
them  with  the  hantl  to  hold  their 
peace,  declared  luito  them  how 
the  ''Lord  had  ''brought  him  out 
of  the  prison.  And  he  said,  Go 
shew  these  things  unto  'James, 
and  to  the  brethren.  And  he 
'"departed,  and  went  into  an- 
other place. 

18  Now  as  soon  as  it  was  day, 
there  was  no  small  stir  among 
the  "soldiers,  what  was  become 
of  "^Pe'ter. 

19  And  when  Her'od  had  sought 
for  him,  and  found  him  not,  he 
examined  the  "keepers,  and  com- 
manded that  they  should  be  ^put 
to  death.  And  he  went  down  from 
* Ju-d;e'a  to  ''^a's-a-re'a,  and  tJiere 
abode. 

20  T[  And  Hei-'od  was  highly 
displeased  with  tliem  of  *Tyre 
and  'SiMon:  but  they  came  with 
one  accord  to  hiin,  and, "'"having 
made  Blas'tus  the  king's  '"cham- 
berlain their  friend,  ^desired 
peace;  because  their  country  was 
nourished  by  the  king's  country. 

21  And  upon  a  set  day  Iler'od, 
arrayed  in  royal  apparel,  sat  up- 
on his  ^throne,  and  made  an 
"oration   unto   them. 

22  And  the  peojile  gave  a  shout, 
^saying,  It  i.s  the  voice  of  a  god, 
and  not  of  a  man. 


23  And  immediately  the  ''angel 
of  the  Lord  ''smote  him,  because 
he  '^gave  not  God  the  ''glory:  and 
he  was  eaten  of  ''worms,  and 
gave  up   the  ghost. 

24  T[  But  ^the  "-"word  of  God 
grew  and  multiplied. 

25And'Bar'na-basand  'Saul re- 
turned from  *Je-rii'sa-lem,  when 
they  had  fulfilled  ///cz'/- ministry, 
and  took  with  them  John,  whose 
surname  was   'INJark. 

CHAPTER  13 

Paul  and  Barnabas  sent  forth  to  the  Gentiles. 
4  Of  Sergius  Paulus  and  Elymas  tlie 
sorcerer  in  Cyprus.  14  Paul  preaches 
Jesus  at  Antioch  in  Pisidia.  42  Many 
believe.  45  The  Jews  opposing  and 
blaspheming,  Paul  and  Barnabas  turn  to 
the  Gentiles.  50  They  are  driven  away, 
and  go  to  Iconium. 

NOW  there  were  in  the  church 
that  was  at  ''x\n'ti-5ch  cer- 
tain ''prophets  and  ''• ''teachers;  as 
"Bar'na-bas,  and  Sim'e-on  that 
was  called  Ni'ger,  and  Lii'^ius  of 
^(^y're'ne,  and  INIan'a-en,  hvhich 
had  been  brought  up  with  "Her'od 
the  tetrarch,  and  Saul. 

2  As  they  ministered  to  the 
Lord,  and''fasted,  the 'Holy  Ghost 
said,  ^Separate  me  "Biir'na-bas 
and  Saul  for  the  work  where- 
unto  1  have  ''^called  them. 

3  And  when  they  had  ''fasted 
and  'prayed,  and  '"•"laid  their 
"hands  on  them,  they  ^sent  them 
away 

4  ^  So  they,  being  ''sent  forth  by 
the  'Holy  Ghost,  departed  unto 
Se-leu'91-a;  and  from  thence  they 
sailed  to  '(^y'prus. 

5  And  when  they  were  at  Sctl'a- 
mis,  they  ''preached  the  *word  of 
God  in  the  'synagogues  of  the 
Jews:  and  they  had  also  "J5lin 
^to  their  minister. 

6  And  when  they  had  gone 
through  the  isle  unto  Pa'phos, 
they  found  a  certain  ''sorcerer,  a 
false  prophet,  a  Jew,  whose  name 
was  Biir-io'sus:

^subtilty  and  all  ^mischief,  thou 
"child  of  the  ''devil,  ''thou  enemy 
of  all  righteousness,  Avilt  thou 
not  cease  to  pervert  the  right 
ways  of  the  Lord  ? 

11  And  now,  behold,  the  hand 
of  the  Ix)rd  is  upon  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  be  ^blind,  not  see- 
ing the  sun  for  a  season.  And 
immediately  there  ^fell  on  him 
a  mist  and  a  darkness;  and  he 
went  about  seeking  some  to  lead 
him  by  the  hand. 

12  Tlien  the  ^"deputy,  when  he 
saw  what  was  done,  ''■''believed, 
being  astonished  at  the  ^''doc- 
trine of  the  Lord. 

13  ^  Now  when  *raul  and  his 
company  loosed  fiom  Pa'phos, 
they  came  to  ^Per'ga  in  '^Pam- 
phyl'i-a:  and  'John  departing 
from  them  returned  to  "'Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. 

14  ^  But  when  they  departed 
from  ■'Per'ga,  they  came  to  ^An'- 
ti-6ch  in  "Pt-sid'i-a,  and  went 
into  tlie  "synagogue  on  the  ^'sab- 
bath day,  and  sat  dov/n. 

15  And  after  the  reading  of 
the  "law  and  the  prophets  the 
rulers  of  the  ".synagogue  sent 
unto  them,  saying,  ''Ye  men  and 
brethren,  if  ye  have  any  word 
of  exhortation  for  the  people, 
say  on, 

16  Then  *''''*Paul  stood  up, 
and  beckoning  with  his  liand 
'said,  ^len  of  Ls'ra-el,  "and  ye 
that  ^fear  God,  give  audience. 

17  The  "God  of  this  peo])lc  of 


Ls'ra-el  chose  our  ''^fathers,  and 
exalted  the  people  wiien  they 
dwelt  as  strangers  in  the  land  of 
^E'gvpt,  and  witli  an  high  ^arm 
brought  he  them  out  of  it. 

18  And  about  the  time  of  "fort}' 
years  suffered  he  their  manners 
in  the  wilderness. 

19  And  when  he  had  ''destroyed 
seven  nations  in  the  land  of  '^Cha'- 
naan,  he  ^divided  their  land  to 
them  by  ''lot. 

20  And  after  ^that  he  gave  un- 
to '^them  ''judges  about  the  s|)ace 
of  four  liundred  and  fifty  years, 
until  "Sam'u-el  the  prophet. 

21  And  afterward  ''they  desired 
a  '*king:  and  *God  gave  unto 
them  ^''\Saul  the  son  of  '(,'Ts,  a 
man  of  the  tribe  of  '"Ben'ja-min, 
by  the  space  of  forty  years, 

22  And  when  *he  had  removed 
'him,  he  raised  up  unto  them 
'■"^Da'vid  to  be  their  king;  io 
whom  also  he  gave  testimony, 
and  said,  I  have  found  Da'vid 
the  son  of  Jes'se,  "a  man  after 
mine  own  heart,  which  ''shall 
fulfil  all  my  will. 

23  *Of  this  man's  seed  hath

and  saw  ''corruption: 

37  But  he,  whom  "God  ''raised 
again,  saw  no  '^corruption. 

38  ^  Be  it  known  unto  you 
therefore,  men  and  brethren,  that 
"through  this  man  is  preached 
unto  you  the  "forgiveness  of  sins : 

39  And  by  him  all  that  ^believe 
are  'justified  from  all  things, 
from  which  ye  'could  not  be  jus- 
tified by  the  *law  of  Mo'.ses. 

40  Beware  therefore,  lest  that 
come  upon  you,  which  is  spoken 
of  in  the  prophets; 

41  'Behold,  ye  Mespisers,  and 
wonder,  and  perish :  for  I  work  a 
work  in  your  days,  a  work  which 
"ye  ""shall  iii  no  wise  believe, 
though  a  man  declare  it  unto 
you. 

42  ^  And  ^when  the  Jew.s  were 
gone  out  of  the  ^synagogue,  the 
Gen'tile.s  ^besought  that  these 
"•''words  might  be  "^preached  to 
them  the  next  ''sabbath. 

43  Now  when  the  congregation 
was  broken  up,  *inany  of  the 
Jews  and  religious  proselytes  fol- 
low^ed  *Paul  and  ''Bar'na-bas: 
who,  speaking  to  them,  "per- 
suaded them  to  ''continue  in  the 
grace  of  God. 

44  *\  And  the  next  ''sabbath  day 
''came  almost  the  whole  city  to- 
gether to  hear  the  "■''word  of 
God. 

45  But  when  the  Jew.s  saw  the 
''multitudes,  they  were  filled  with 
'•^envy,  and  ^' 'spake  against 
those  ''things  whicli  were  spoken 
by  *Paul,  contradicting  and 
"'blaspheming. 

46  Then  *Paul  and  'Bar'na-bas

heard  this,  they  were  '^glad,  and 
''glorified  the  word  of  the  Lord: 
and  as  many  as  were  ''ordained

49  And  the  ^••'word  of  the  Lord 
was  ^published  throughout  all

50  But  the  Jews  stirred  up  the 
devout  and  honourable  women, 
and  the  chief  men  of  the  city, 
and  raised  'persecution  against

expelled  them  out  of  their

made  their  minds  evil  affected 
against   the   brethren. 

3  Long  time  therefore  abode 
they  speaking  "'boldly  in  the 
Lord,  which  gave  testimony  un- 
to the  "word  of  his  grace,  and 
o-ranted  "signs  and  wonders  to  be 
done  by  their  hands. 

4  But  the  multitude  of  the  city 
was  divided:  and  part  held  with 
the  *Jews,  and  part  with  the 
^apostles. 

5  And  when  there  was  an  *as- 
sault  made  both  of  the  'Gen'- 
tile.s,  and  also  of  the  "Jevv.s  with 
their  rulers,  to  use  ^•'^them  de-

who  stedfastly  beholding  him, 
and  ])erceiving  that  he  had  ^faith 
to  be  healed, 

10  Said  with  a  loud  voice,  Stand 
upright  on  thy  feet.  And  ''he 
"leaped  and  walked. 

11  And  when  the  people  saw 
what  Taul  had  done,  they  lifted 
up  their  voices,  saying  in  the 
^speech  of  *Lyc-a-o'm-a,  The 
gods  are  come  down  to  us  in 
the  likeness  of  men. 

12  And  they  called  "Bar'na-bSs,

of  them,  should  ^o  up  to  ''Je- 
rii'sa-Iem  unto  the  ^upostles  and 
^elders  about  thLs  t|ue.stion. 

3  And  being  brought  on  their 
way  by  the  *chureh,  they  passed 
through  The-nl'9e  and  "'Sa-ma'- 
ri-a,  declaring  the  conversion  of 
the  "(ien'tilcs:  and  they  caiLsed 
great  "joy  unto  all  the  brethren. 

4  And  when  they  were  come  to 
'Me-rii'sa-lem,  they  were  receiv- 
ed of  the  ''church,  and  nf  the 
'apostles  and  4'lders,  and  they 
declared  all  things  that  God  had 
done  with  them. 

5  T[  But  there  rose  up  certain 
of  the  sect  of  the  ^Thar'i-sees 
which  Ix'lieved,  saying,  That  it 
was  needful  to  ''circumcise  them, 
and  to  command  fhem  to  keep 
the  ''law  of  :Mo',se.s. 

6  And  the  ^apostles  and  ^elders 
came  together  for  to  consider  of 
this  matter. 

7  And  when  there  had  been 
much  -disputing,  Te'ter  rose 
up,  and  said  unto  them,  ^Men 
and  brethren,  ye  know  how  that 
a  good  while  ago  God  ''inade 
choice  among  us,  that  the  "Gei/- 
tihi  ^\)y  my  mouth  should  hear 
the  word  of  the  ^gospel,  and  'be- 
lieve. 

8  And  God,  which  "knoweth 
the  ''hearts,  bare  them  witness, 
giving  "them  the  "'Holy  Giiost, 
even  as  he  did  unto  us ; 

9  And  ^put  no  difference  be- 
tween us  and  them,  *•  ^purifying 
their  hearts  })y  'faith. 

10  Now  therefore  why  tempt  ye 
God,  to  [)ut  a  ^'"yoke  upon  tlie 
neck  of  the  ^disciples,  which  nei- 
ther our  fathers  nor  we  were  able 
to  bear  ? 

11  But  we  '^believe  that  through 
the  grace  of  the  '^Lord  Je'.sus 
^Christ  we  shall  be  ^'Asaved,  even 
as  they. 

12  Tf  'ilicn  all  the  multitude 


to  «'Bar'na-bas  and  'T:iul,  de- 
claring what  'miracles  and  won- 
ders God  had  wrought  among 
the  ^Gen'trle.s  by  ^'them. 

13  1  And  after  they  had  held 
their  peace,  ^James  answered, 
saying,  ■'Men  and  bretliren 
hearken  unto  me: 

14  '"Sim'e-on  hath  dechired 
how  God  at  the  first  did  visit  the 
'Gen'tlle.s,  to  take  out  of  them  a 
people  for  his  name. 

15  And  to  this  agree  the  "M^ords 
of  the  prophets;  as  it  is  written, 

16  "After  this  I  will  return,  and 
will  build  again  the  tabernacle  of 
''Da'vid.  which  is  fallen  down; 
and  I  will  build  again  the  ruins 
thereof,  and  I  will  set  it  iij): 

17  That  the  resiilue  of  men 
might  "•'•seek  after  the  Lord,  and 
all  the  •'(ieii'tlle.s,  ^upon  whom 
my  name  is  called,  saidi  the  Lord, 
who  doetli  all  these  things. 

18  •'•'Known  unto  God  are  all 
his  works  from  the  bejyinninir  of 
the  world. 

19  Wherefore  "my  ^sentence  is, 
Uiat  we  trouble  not  them,  which 
from  among  the  ^(jcu'tlle.s  are 
turned  to  God: 

20  But  that  we  write  unto  them, 
that  they  "-"'abstain  from  pollu- 
tions of  idols,  and  jroin  ^fornica- 
tion, and  ]rom  ''things  strangled, 
and  from  ^blood. 

21  For  '^Mo'se^  of  old  time  hath 
in  every  city  them  that  preach 
him,  being  read  in  the  *syna- 
gogues  every  '^sabbath  day. 

22  Tf  Then  pleased  it  the  '^apos- 
tles and  "elders,  with  the  whole 
''church,  to  send  chosen  men  of 
their  own  comixmy  to  ^An'ti- 
och  with  'Tiuil  and  ^Biir'na-bas;

them  after  this  manner;  The 
'^apostles  and  ^elders  and  breth- 
ren send  greeting  unto  the  breth- 
ren which  are  of  the  ^'Gen'tUes  in 
''An'ti-och  and  ^Syr'i-a  and  '(^i- 
li'^ia: 

24  Forasmuch  as  we  have 
heard,  that  certain  which  went 
out  from  us  have  troubled  you 
with  '"words,  ^subverting  your 
souls,  saying,  Ye  must  be  circum- 
cised, and  keep  the  law:  to  whom 
we  gave  no  such  commandment: 

25  It  seemed  good  unto  us,  be- 
ing assembled  with  one  accord, 
to  send  chosen  men  unto  you 
with  our  "beloved  'Bar'na-bas 
and  Taul, 

26  "Men  that  have  ^hazarded 
their  lives  for  the  ^nanie  of  our 
''Lord  Je'§us  Christ. 

27  We  have  sent  therefore  *Ju'- 
das  and  *Sl'las,  whosliail  also  tell 
you  the  same  things  by  mouth. 

28  For  it  seemed  good  to  the 
'Holy  Ghost,  and  to  us,  to  lay 
upon  you  no  greater  burden  than 
these  necessary  "tilings; 

29"Thatyeabstainfrom^*'meats 
offered  to  idols,  and  from  ^blood, 
and  from  "'things  strangled,  and 
from  ^fornication:  from  which  if 
ye  keep  yourselves,  ye  shall  do 
well.     Fare  ye  well. 

30  So  when  they  were  dis- 
missed, they  came  to  "An'tT-och: 
and  when  they  had  gathered  the 
multitude  together,  they  deliv- 
ered the  epistle: 

31  Which  when  they  had  read, 
they  ''rej  oiced  for  the  consolation. 

32  And  Ju'das  and  *Si'las,  be- 
ing ^prophets  also  themselves, 
"exhorted  the  brethren  with 
many  words,  and  confirmed 
them. 

33  And  after  they  had  tarried 
there  a  space,  they  were  let  go 
in  peace  from  the  brethren  unto 

1  ^'^the  apostles. 


34  12 Notwithstanding  it  pleased 
*Si'las  to  abide  there  still. 

35  "Paul  also  and  '^Bar'na-bas 
continued  in  '^An'ti-6ch,  «teach- 
ing  and  'preaching  the  "■''word 
of  the  Lord,  with  many  others 
also. 

36  t  And  some  days  after  "Paul 
said  unto  '^Bar'na-bas,  Let  us 
o-o  awain  and  visit  our  breth- 
ren  in  every  city  where  w^e  nave 
preached  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
and  see  how  they  do. 

37  And  ''Bar'na-bas  determined 
to  take  with  them  John,  whose 
surname  was  'jMark. 

38  But  "Paul  thought  not  good 
to  take  him  with  them,  who  de- 
parted from  them  from  *Pam- 
phyl'i-a,  and  went  not  with  them 
to  the  work. 

39  And  the  ^contention  was  so 
sharp  between  them,  that  they 
departed  asunder  one  from  the 
other:  and  so  '"Bar'na-bas  took 
'Aliirk,  and  sailed  unto  '"(,'y'- 
prus; 

40  And  "Paul  chose  *Si'las,  and 
departed,  being  "recommended 
by  the  brethren  unto  the  "grace 
of  i^God. 

41  And  he  went  through  ^Syr'- 
i-a  and  «(^t-li'9ia,  confirming  the 
''churches.

at  liberty. 

THEN  came  "he  to  "Der'bc 
and  '^Lys'tra:  and,  behold, 
a  certain  '^disciple  was  there, 
named  i-^'H-md'the-us,  the  son 
of  a  certain  ''woman,  which  was 
a  Jew'ess,  and  "believed;  but

'^vision,  immediately  *'%e  "en- 
deavoured to  go  into  Ma9-e- 
do'-ni-a,  assuredly  gathering 
that  Hhe  Lord  had  called  us 
for  to  "preach  the  'gospel  unto 
them. 

11  Therefore     loo.sing     from 


''Trr/as,  we  came  with  a  straight 
course  to  Sa,m-o-thra'9ia,  and 
the  next  day  to  Ne-ai)'o-lis; 

12  And  from  thence  to  Thi- 
lip'pl,  which  is  ^the  chief  city  of 
that  part  of  ^]Ma9-e-do'ni-a,  and 
a  colony:  and  we  were  in  that 
city  abiding  certain  days. 

13  And  on  the  ^sabbath  we 
went  ^out  of  the  city  by  a  river 
side,  where  'prayer  was  wont  to 
be  maile;  and  we  sat  down,  and 
spake  unto  the  women  wdiich  re- 
sorted fhiiher. 

14  ^  And  a  certain  "'woman 
named  Ivyd'i-a,  a  seller  of  pur- 
ple, of  the  city  of  "Thy-a-t!'ra, 
which  "worshipjied  God,  heard 
us:  ^whose  'heart  the  Lord 
opened,  that  she  attended  unto 
the  things  which  were  spoken  ol 
'Paul. 

15  And  when  she  was  ''ba])- 
tized,  and  her  "household,  she 
besought  tis,  saying,  If  ye  have 
judged  me  to  be  faithful  to  the 
Lord,  '■Vome  into  my  hou.se, 
and  abide  there.  And  she  con- 
strained us. 

IG  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we 
went  to  Sprayer,  a  certain  dam- 
sel ])ossessed  with  a  spirit  of  div- 
ination met  us,  which  brought 
her  masters  much  gain  by  sooth- 
saying: 

17  The  same  followed  ''Pniil 
and  us,  and  cried,  saying,  These 
men  are  the  servants  of  the  most 
high  God,  which  "^shew  unto  us 
the  '"way  of  -^salvation. 

18  And  this  did  she  many  days.

But  *Paul,  being  grieved,  turned 
and  said  to  the  ^spirit,  1  com- 
mand thee  in  the  name  of  Je'sus 
Christ  to  come  out  of  her.  And 
he  ^came  out  the  same  hour. 

19  ^  And  when  her  masters  saw 
that  the  %ope  of  tiieir  gains  was 
gone,  they  "■''caught  ''Paul  and 
''Si'las,  and  drew  them  into  the 
marketplace  unto  the  rulers, 

20  And  brought  ''-'^them  to 
the  ^magistrates,  '■  ^saying.  These 
men,  being  Jews,  do  exceedingly 
trouble  our  city, 

21  And  ^' ''teach '^customs,  which 
are  not  lawful  for  us  to  receive, 
neither  to  observe,  being  Ro'- 
man.s. 

22  And  the  multitude  rose  up 
together  against  them:  and  the 
"magistrates  rent  off  their  clothes, 
and  commanded  to  ^'"^beat  them. 

23  x\nd  when  they  had  'laid 
many  stripes  u})on  ^them,  they 
cast  them  into  prison,  charging 
the  jailor  to  keep  them  safely: 

24  Who,  having  received  such  a 
charge,  ^thrust  ''•''them  into  the 
inner  '"prison,  and  made  their 
"feet  fast  in   the   "stocks. 

25  ^  And  at  midnight  "•''Paul 
and  '^'^Sflas  ^•''prayed,  and 
'•'•"sang  ^'praises  unto  God:  and 
the   prisoners   heard    them. 

26  And  suddenly  there  was  a 
great  "'earthquake,  so  that  the 
foundations  of  the  "'prison  were 
shaken:  and  immediately  all  the 
doors  were  opened,  and  every 
one's   bands   were   loosed. 

27  And  the  keeper  of  the  '"pris- 
on awaking  out  of  his  sleep,  and 
seeing  the  prison  doors  open,  he 


drew  out  his  sword,  and  would 
have  billed  himself,  supposing 
that  the  prisoners  had  ^been 
fled. 

28  But  "Paul  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  saying,  Do  thyself  no 
harm:  for  we  are   all  here. 

29  Then  he  called  for  a  light, 
and  sprang  in,  and  ^"came  trem- 
bling, and  fell  down  before  "^Paul 
and  ''Si'las, 

30  x\nd  brought  them  out,  and 
^■^said.  Sirs,  what  must  I  do  to 
be  saved  ? 

31  And  they  said,  "•"Believe 
on  the  "•''Lord  Je'sus  "Christ, 
and  thou  shalt  be  saved,  and 
thy  "house. 

32  And  they  '•"spake  unto  him 
the  *word  of  the  Lord,  and  to  all 
that  were  in  his  house. 

33  x\nd  he  took  them  the  same 
hour  of  the  niglit,  and  ^vashed 
their  'stripes;  and  was  ^baptized, 
he  and  all  his,  straightway. 

34  And  when  he  had  brought 
'them  into  his  house,  he  set 
meat  before  them,  and  rejoiced, 
'"believing  in  God  with  all  his 
"house. 

35  And  when  it  was  day,  the 
"magistrates  sent  the  Serjeants, 
saying,  Let  those  men  go. 

36  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
told  this  saying  to  "Paul,  The 
"magistrates  have  sent  to  let  you 
go :  now  therefore  depart,  and  go 
in  peace. 

37  But  "Paul  said  unto  them, 
They  have  '■''beaten  us  openly 
^uncondemned,  being  '^Ro'mang, 
and  have  cast  us  into  prison;  and 
now  do  they  thrust  us  out  priv-

Athens.  16  He  disputes  publicly.  22 
His  discourse  on  Mar.s'  hUl.  32  Some 
mock  and  others  believe. 

NOW  when  they  had  passed 
through  Am-phip'o-lis  and 
Ap-ol-lo'n  i-a,  they  came  to  °Thcs- 
sa-16-nl'ca,  where  was  a  ''syna- 
gogue of  the  '^Jew.s: 

2  And  'Taul,  *'as  his  manner 
was,  went  in  unto  them,  and 
tliree  'sabbath  days  "•''reasoned 
with  them  out  of  the  ^scriptures, 

3  Opening  and  alleging,  ^that 
^Christ  must  needs  have  '-"'suf- 
fered, and  "risen  again  from  the 
dead;  and  that  this  Je'.sus,  whom 
I  "preach  unto  you,  is  *ChrLst. 

4  And  some  of  them  ^' ^believ- 
ed, and  'consorted  wuth  ''Paul 
and  ''Sl'las;  and  of  the  devout 
"■'Greeks  a  great  multitude,  and 
of  the  chief  "women  not  a  few. 

5  if  But  the  Mews  ^vhich  be- 
lieved not,  "'■^moved  with  ^-^en- 
vy,  took  unto  them  certain  lewd 
fellows  of  the  baser  sort,  and 
gathered  a  *company,  and  set 
all  the  city  on  an  uproar,  and 
'^'''assaulted  the  house  of  Ja'son, 
and  sought  to  bring  them  out  to 
the  people. 

6  And  when  they  found  them 


not,  they  ''drew  Ja'son  and  cer- 
tain brethren  unto  the  rulers  of 
the  city,  crying.  These  that  have 
turned  the  world  upside  down 
are  come  hither  also; 

7  Whom  Ja'son  hath  received: 
and  "^^ ''these  all  ''do  contrary  to 
the  decrees  of  (^le'sar,  saying 
that  there  is  another  'king,  one 
Je'sus. 

S  And  they  troubled  the  peoj^le 
and  the  rulers  of  the  city,  when 
they  heard  these  things. 

9  And  when  they  had  taken 
security  of  Ja'.son,  and  of  the 
other,  they  let  them  go. 

10  II  And  the  brethren  immedi- 
ately "sent  away  ''Paul  and  *Sl'las 
by  night  unto  ^Be-re'a:  who  com- 
ing thither  went  into  the  '''syna- 
gogue of  the  Jews. 

11  These  were  more  noble  than 
those  in  'Thes-sa-l6-ni'ca,  in 
that  they  received  the  "'word 
with  all  readiness  of  mind,  and 
"searched  the  "scriptures  daily, 
whether  those  things  were  so. 

12  Therefore  many  of  them 
''believed;  also  of  honourable 
'women  which  were  ''Greeks, 
and  of  men,  not  a  few. 

13  But  when  the  *Jcw.s  of 
'Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca  had  knowledge 
that  the  "word  of  God  was 
'preached  of  ''Paul  at  'Bc-re'a, 
they  came  thither  also,  and 
"•"■'"stirred  up  the  people. 

14  And  then  immediately  the 
brethren  "-^sent  away  ''Paul  to 
go  as  it  were  to  the  sea:  but 
'Si'las  and  ^Ti-mo'the-iis  abode 
there  still. 

15  And  they  that  conducted 
''Paul  brought  him  unto  ^Ath'- 
5n.s:  and  receiving  a  command- 
ment imto  *Sl'las  and  ^It-mo'- 
the-us  for  to  com(^  to  him  with  all 
speed,  they  departed. 

16  ^  Now  while  ''Paul  waited 
for  them  at  ^\th'cn,5,  his  spirit 
was  ^stirred    in    him,  when   he

saw   the    city   wholly   given    to 
'^^ '^idolatry. 

17  Therefore  *•  disputed  he  in 
the  "synagogue  with  the  Jew§, 
and  with  the  devout  persons, 
and  in  the  market  "daily  with 
them  that  met  with  him. 

18  Then  certain  '^philosophers 
of  the  ^Ep-i-cu-re'an§,  and  of 
the  ■'■Std'icks,  encountered  him. 
And  some  %aid,  What  will  this 
babbler  say  ?  other  some,  He 
seemeth  to  be  a  setter  forth 
of  strange  gods:  because  he 
^preached  unto  them  Je'§us, 
and  the  'resurrection. 

19  And  they  took  him,  and 
brought  him  unto  Ar-e-6p'a- 
gus,  saying,  May  we  know  what 
this  new  doctrine,  whereof  thou 
speakest,  is  ? 

20  For  thou  bringest  certain 
strange  things  to  our  ears:  we 
would  know  therefore  what  these 
things  mean. 

21  (For  all  the  A-the'ni-ans 
and  strangers  which  were  there 
'"spent  their  time  in  nothing  else, 
but  either  to  tell,  or  to  hear  some 
new  thing.) 

22  K  Then  "-"Paul  stood  in  the 
midst  of  ^^lars'  hill,  and  said. 
Ye  men  of  ''Ath'ens,  I  perceive 
that  in  all  things  ye  are  ^too 
superstitious. 

23  For  as  I  passed  by,  and  ^be- 
held your  devotions,  I  found 
an  "altar  with  this  ^inscription, 
TO  THE  UNKNOWN  GOD. 
Whom  therefore  ye  ^■''ignorantiy 
worship,  him  declare  I  unto  you. 

24  God  that  'made  the  world 
and  all  things  therein,  seeing 
that  he  is  'Lord  of  heaven  and 


earth,   dwelleth  not  in  temples 
made   with  hands; 

25  Neither  is  ^worshipped  with 
men's  hands,  "as  though  he 
needed  any  thing,  seeing  he  *giv- 
eth  to  all  "life,  and  ""breath,  and 
all  things; 

26  And  hath  'made  of  one 
blood  all  nations  of  "'^men  for 
to  dwell  on  all  the  face  of  the 
earth,  and  %ath  determined  ^the 
times  before  appointed,  and  the 
bounds  of  their  habitation ; 

27  That  they  should  ^seek  "the 
Lord,  if  haply  they  might  feel 
after  him,  and  find  him,  though 
"he  be  not  far  from  every  one  of 
us: 

28  For  in  "'*him  we  live,  and 
move,  and  have  our  being;  as 
certain  also  of  your  own  ^•'^poets 
have  said,  For  we  are  also  his 
offspring. 

29  Forasmuch  then  as  we  are 
the  offspring  of  God,  Ave  ought 
not  to  think  that  the  ''Godhead 
is  like  unto  gold,  or  silver,  or 
stone,  graven  by  art  and  man's 
device. 

30  And  the  times  of  this  ^■''ig- 
norance God  ^"■"•''winked  at;  but 
now  ^'^commandeth  all  men  every 
where  to  repent: 

31  Because  he  liath  appointed  a 
*day,  in  the  which  he  will  judge 
the  world  in  'righteousness  by 
that  ""man  whom  he  hath  or- 
dained; whereof  he  hath  given 
assurance  unto  all  men,  in  that 
he  hath  "^raised  him  from  the 
dead. 

32  Tl  And  when  they  heard  of 
the  "resurrection  of  the  dead, 
some  "mocked:  and  others  said,

THE    ACTS 


We  will  hear  thee  again  of  this 
nmtter. 

33  So  ^Paul  departed  from 
among    them. 

34  Howbeit  certain  men  clave 
unto  him,  and  ^believed:  among 
the  which  was  Dl-o-nys'i-iis  the 
Ar-e-6p'a-glte,  and  a  ''woman 
named  Dam'a-ris,  and  others 
with    them. 

CHAPTER  18 

At  Corinth  Paul  labors  with  his  hands,  and 
preaches.  6  The  Jews  oppose  him.  9 
The  Lord  encourages  him  in  a  vision. 
12  He  is  brought  before  Gallio.  but  dis- 
missed. 18  He  comes  to  Ephesus  on  his 
way  to  Syria:  23  and  afterward  visits  Ga- 
latia  and  Phrygia.  24  Apollos  preaches 
at  Ephesus  and  in  Achaia. 

AFTER  these  things  "Paul  de- 
parted from  "Ath'ens,  and 
came  to  *C6r'inth; 

2  And  found  a  certain  ''Jew 
named  ^Aq'ui-la,  born  in  '^Pon'- 
tus,  lately  come  from  '"It'a-ly, 
with  his  wife  ^Pris-911'la;  (be- 
cause that  ''Clau'di-iis  had  "com- 
manded all  '^Jew.s  to  depart  from 
*R6me:)  and  came  unto  them. 

3  And  because  "he  was  of 
the  same  ^ craft,  he  %bode  with 
^them,  and  %rought:  for  by  their 


k.l 


tent- 


occupation    they    were 
makers. 

4  And  he  '"-"reasoned  in  the 
"synagogue  ^every  *sabbath,  ami 
persuaded  the  ''Jews  and  the 
''Greeks. 

5  And  when  *Si'las  and  'Ti-mo'- 
the-us  were  come  from  ''MS,9-e- 
do'ni-a,  Paul  was  ^'^' "pressed  in 
the  spirit,  and  "'•^testified  to  the 
Jews  that  Je'sus  ivas  ^Christ. 

6  And  when  they  ^opposed 
themselves,  and  blasphemed, 
he  shook  his  raiment,  and  said 
unto  them,  Your  blood  he  upon 


your  own  heads;  "I  am  clean: 
from  henceforth  I  will  go  unto 
the  "Cen'tlle.s. 

7  And  he  departed  thence,  and 
''entered  into  a  certain  man's 
house,  named  Jus'tus,  '^one  that 
''worshipped  God,  whose  house 
joined  hard  to  the  'synagogue. 

8  And  "Cris'pus,  the  chief  ruler 
of  the  'synagogue,  ''believed  on 
the  Lord  with  all  his  *house;  and 
many  of  the  C6-rinth'i-an.s  hear- 
ing ^believed,  and  were  bap- 
tized. 

9  Then  spake  the  Lord  to  *PauI 
in  the  night  by  a  'vision,  "'Be  not 
afraid,  but  "speak,  and  hold  not 
thy  peace: 

10  For  "'^'I  am  with  thee,  and 
*no  man  shall  set  on  thee  to  hurt 
thee:  for  I  have  much  people  in 
this  city. 

11  And  he  continued  there  a 
year  and  six  months,  '^teaching 
the  *word  of  God  among  them. 

12  Tf  And  when  Gal  li-o  was 
the  ^-'deputy  of  ^A-cha'ia,  the 
"Jews  "''"•^made  insurrection 
with  one  accord  against  *'^Paul, 
and  brought  him  to  the  ^judg- 
ment seat, 

13  "Saying,  This  *felloiv  per- 
suadeth  men  *to  worship  God 
contrary  to  the  "law. 

14  And  wlien  ''Paul  was  now 
about  to  o])en  Jtis  mouth,  Gal'- 
li-o  said  unto  the  Jews,  If  it  were 
a  matter  of  wrong  or  wicked 
^lewdness,  O  ye  Jews,  reason 
would  that  I  should  bear  with 
you :

16  And  he  drave  them  from  the 
^judgment  seat. 

17  Then  all  the  ^Greeks  took 
Sos'the-nes,  the  chief  ruler  of 
the  "synagogue,  and  beat  him 
before  the  ^judgment  seat.  And 
Gal'li-o  cared  for  none  of  those 
things. 

18  t  And  '^Paul  after  this  tar- 
ried there  yet  a  good  while,  and 
then  took  his  leave  of  the  breth- 
ren, and  sailed  thence  into  ''Syr'- 
i-a,  and  with  him  ^Pris-^il'la  and 
^Aq'ui-la;  having  shorn  Jtis  head 
in^(^en'chre-a:  for  he  had  a 'vow. 

19  And  he  came  to  "Eph'e- 
siis,  and  left  '^them  there:  but 
he  himself  entered  into  the  "syn- 
agogue, and  ^''reasoned  with  the 
"Mew§. 

20  When  they  desired  him  to 
tarry  longer  time  with  them,  he 
consented  not; 

21  But  ^bade  them  farewell, 
saying,  I  must  by  all  means  keep 
this  '^feast  that  cometh  in  Je-ri/- 
sa-lein:  but  I  will  return  again 
unto  you,  if  God  "will.  And  he 
sailed  from  "Eph'e-sus. 

22  And  when  ''he  had  landed  at 
^^ses-a-re'a,  and  gone  up,  and 
saluted  the  ^church,  he  went 
down  to  ''An'ti-och. 

23  And  after  he  had  spent  some 
time  the7'e,  he  departed,  and  went 
over  all  the  country  of  'Ga- 
la'tia  and  'Phrvg'i-a  in  order, 
"strengthening  all  the  "disciples. 

24  T[  And  a  certain  Jew  named 
'"A-poFlos,  born  at  ^Al-ex-3,n'- 
dri-a,  '^an  eloquent  man,  and 
mighty  in  the  ^scriptures,  came 
to  "Eph'e-siis. 

25  ""This  man  was  instructed  in 
the  ^•'^way  of  the  Lord;  and  be- 
ing  fervent    in    the   spirit,    ^he 


spake  and  "^taught  ^diligently  the 
things  of  the  Lord,  knowing  only 
the  '^baptism  of  John, 

26  And  he  began  to  speak 
''boldly  in  the  'synagogue :  whom 
when  '^Aq'ui-la  and  ^•"Pris-9il'la 
had  heard,  they  took  him  unto 
them,  and  '^expounded  unto  him 
the  ''•Hvay  of  God  more  ^per- 
fectly. 

27  And  when  he  was  disposed 
to  pass  into  ^A-cha'ia,  the  breth- 
ren ^ ''wrote,  exhorting  the  'dis- 
ciples to  receive  him:  who,  when 
he  was  come,  helped  them  much 
which  had  ^believed  through 
grace : 

28  For  he  ^hnightily  convinced 
the  Jews,  a^id  that  publickly, 
shewing  by  the  '•"'scriptures  that 
Je'sus  was  "Christ. 

CHAPTER  19 

At  Ephesus  Paul  baptizes  certain  disciples 
of  John.  9  Being  opposed  by  the  Jews  in 
the  synagogue,  he  disputes  daily  in  the 
school  of  fyrannus.  13  Certain  Jeunsh 
exorcists  are  overcome.  19  Many  of 
those  who  used  cwious  arts  burn  their 
books.  2\  Paul's  purposed  journey.  23 
Demetrius,  the  silrersrnith.  excites  a  tumult 
against  him;  35  which  is  appeased  by  the 
town  clerk. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
while  *A-p6l'los  was  at 
"Cor'inth,  *Paul  having  passed 
through  the  upper  coasts  came 
to  '^Eph'e-sus:  and  finding  cer- 
tain '^disciples, 

2  He  said  unto  them,  ^Have  ye 
received  the  *Holy  Ghost  since 
ye  'believed  ?  And  they  said  un- 
to him,  ^'"We  have  not  so  much 
as  heard  whether  there  be  any 
Holy  Ghost. 

3  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^Unto 
what  then  were  ye  baptized  ? 
And  they  said,  ^Unto  John's 
''baptism. 

4  Then  said  *Paul,  *J6hn  ver- 
ily ^baptized  with  the  baptism 
of  'repentance,  saying  unto  the

5  When  they  heard  thi";,  they 
were  *• 'baptized  ^in  the  '"name 
of  the  "Lord  Je'.sus. 

6  And  when  Taiil  had  laid  his 
"hands  upon  them,  the  ''Holy 
Ghost  came  on  them;  and  they 
''•*  '■s])ake  with  ^tongues,  and 
prophesied. 

7  And  all  the  men  Avere  al)out

8  And  he  went  into  the  'syna-

.space  of  three  months,  ''"''Mi.s- 
puting  and  persuading  the  things 
concerning  the  ^kingdom  of 
God. 

9  But  when^divers  were^-°hard- 
ened,  and  believed  not,  but 
spake  evil  of  that  *''^way  before 
the  multitude,  he  departed  from 
them,  and  separated  the  ''dis- 
ciples, "disputing  daily  in  the 
^'''school  of  one  Ty-ran'nus. 

10  And  this  continued  by  the 
space  of  two  years;  so  that  all 
they  Avhich  dwelt  in  ''A'.sia  heard 
the  ''word  of  the  ''I.,ord  ^Je'sus, 
both  Jews  and  Greeks. 

11  And  God  wrought  special 
hniracles  by  the  hands  of  ^Paul: 

12  So  that  from  his  body  were 
brought  unto  the  sick  handker- 
chiefs or  aprons,  and  the  ^'dis-

14  And  there  were  seven  sons  of 
one  S9e'va,  a  Jew,  and  chief  of 
the  'priests,  which  did  so. 

15  And  the  '"evil  spirit  an- 
swered and  said,  Je'sus  I  know, 
and  Paul  I  know;  but  who 
are  ye  ? 

16  And  the  man  in  whom  the 
'"evil  spirit  was  leaped  on  them, 
ami  overcame  them,  and  pre- 
vailed against  them,  so  that  they 
fled  out  of  that  house  naked  and 
wounded. 

17  x\ntl  this  was  known  to  all 
the  Jew.s  and  Greeks  also  dwell- 
ing at  '^Eph'e-siis;  and  fear  fell 
on  them  all,  and  *''the  ^name  of 
the  Lord  Je'.sus  was  magnified. 

18  And  *''many  that  "believed 
came,  and  ^-'"confessed,  and 
shewed   their  deeds. 

19  Many  of  them  also  which 
u.sed  curioiLS  arts  brought  their 
■''books  together,  and  ^' ^burned 
them  before  all  men:  and  they 
counted  the  price  of  them,  and 
found  it  fifty  thousand  pieces  of 
"silver. 

20  "So  mightily  grew  the  ''word 
of  ^°God  and  prevailed. 

21  T[  After  these  things  were 
ended,  ''Paul  purposed  in  the 
spirit,  Avhen  he  had  passed 
through  ''Ma9-e-do'ni-a  and  ''A- 
cha'ia,  to  go  to  ''Je-ru'sa-lem, 
saying,  After  I  have  been  there 
I  must  also  see  -^llome, 

22  So  he  sent  into  '']Ma9-e-d(y- 
ni-ii  ''two  of  them  that  ministered 
unto  him,  ^'n-mo'the-us  and 
'E-ras'tus;  but  he  himself  stayed 
in  ''A'sia  for  a  season.

23  Tf  And  the  same  time  there 
arose  no  small  stir  about  "that 
'•"'way. 

24  For  a  certain  man  named 
De-me'tri-us,  a  '^silversmith, 
which  "made  silver  shrines  for 
Di-an'a,  brought  no  ^^small  gain 
unto  the  craftsmen; 

25  Whom  he  called  together 
with  the  workmen  of  like  occu- 
pation, and  said,  Sirs,  ye  know 
that  by  this  craft  we  have  our 
wealth. 

26  Moreover  ye  see  and  hear, 
that  not  alone  at  ^Eph'e-siis,  but 
almost  throughout  all  ^A'.sia, 
this  ''Paul  "hath  persuaded  and 
turned  away  much  people,  say- 
ing that  they  be  no  gods,  which 
are  made  with  hands: 

27  So  that  not  only  this  our  craft 
is  in  danger  to  be  set  at  nought; 
but  also  that  the  ^temple  of  the 
great  goddess  Dl-an'a  should  be 
despised,  and  her  magnificence 
should  be  destroyed,  whom  all 
*A'sia  and  the  world  worship- 
peth. 

28  And  when  they  heard  these 
sayings,  they  were  full  of  wrath, 
and  cried  out,  saying.  Great  is 
Di-an'a  of  the   E-phe'sians. 

29  And  the  whole  city  was  filled 
with  confusion:  and  having 
caught  Ga'ius  and  ''Ar-is-tar'- 
chus,  men  of  ^]Ma9-e-do'nT-a, 
Paul's  companions  in  travel, 
^they  rushed  with  one  accord 
into  the   theatre. 

30  And  when  ''Paul  would 
have  entered  in  unto  the  people, 
the  'disciples  "-^suffered  him 
not. 

31  And  certain  of  the  ^^chief  of 
*A'sia,  which  were  his  friends, 
sent  unto  him,  "'Mesiring  him 
that  he  would  not  adventure  him- 
self into  the  theatre. 

32  *Some  therefore  cried  one 


thing,  and  some  another:  for  the 
assembly  was  confused;  and  the 
more  part  knew  not  wherefore 
they  were  come  together. 

33  And  they  drew  iVl-ex-an'- 
der  out  of  the  multitude,  the 
Jews  putting  him  forward.  And 
Al-ex-an'der  beckoned  with  the 
hand,  and  would  have  made  his 
"defence  unto  the  people. 

34  *But  when  they  knew  that  he 
was  a  Jew,  all  with  one  voice 
about  the  space  of  two  hours 
cried  out.  Great  is  Dl-an'a  of 
the  £-phe'sians. 

35  And  when  the  "'townclerk 
had  appeased  the  "people,  ^he 
said,  ^Ye  men  of  ^Eph'e-sus, 
what  man  is  there  that  know- 
eth  not  how  that  the  city  of  the 
E-phe'.sian.s  is  a  "worshipper  of 
the  great  goddess  Di-an'a,  and 
of  the  image  which  fell  down 
from  ^ Ju'pi-ter  ? 

36  Seeing  then  that  these  things 
cannot  be  spoken  against,  "ye 
ought  to  be  quiet,  and  to  do 
nothing  rashly. 

37  For  ye  have  brought  hither 
these  *men,  which  are  neither 
robbers  of  ^^churches,  nor  yet 
blasphemers   of  your  goddess. 

38  Wherefore  if  De-me'tri-iis, 
and  the  craftsmen  which  are 
with  him,  have  a  matter  against 
any  man,  the  '®law  is  open,  and 
there  are  '^deputies:  let  them  im- 
plead one  another. 

39  But  if  ye  enquire  any  thing 
concerning  other  matters,  ''it  shall 
be  determined  in  a  lawful  as- 
sembly. 

40  For  ''we  are  in  danger  to 
be  ^^called  in  question  for  this 
day's  uproar,  there  being  no  cause 
whereby  we  may  give  an  account 
of  this  concourse. 

41  And  when  he  had  thus  spo- 
ken, he  dismissed  the  assembly.

CHAPTER  20 

Paul  goes  from  Ephesus  through  Macedonia 
into  Greece.  4  He  returns  through  Mace- 
donia to  Troas.  7  lie  celebrates  the 
Lord's  supper;  9  and  restores  Euti/chus. 
13  His  Journey  to  Miletus.  17  He  sends 
for  the  elders  of  the  church  at  Ephesus. 
18  His  farewell  charge  to  them,  36  and 
prayer. 

AND  after  the  uproar  was 
ceased,  "Paul  called  unto 
him  the  ''disciples,  and  ^em- 
braced them,  and  departed  for 
to  go  into   '^Maf-e-do'ni-a. 

2  And  when  he  had  gone  over 
those  parts,  and  had  given  them 
much  ''exhortation,  he  came  into 
'^Gree9e, 

3  And  ^/iPre abode  three  months. 
And  when^the  Jews  ''laid  wait 
for  him,  as  he  was  about  to  sail 
into  "Syr'i-a,  he  purposed  to  re- 
turn through  '^JMji^-e-do'ni-a. 

4  And  there  accompanied  him 
into  ^'A'sia  Sop^a-ter  of  'Bc-re'a; 
and  of  the  ^Thes-sa-lo'ni-ans, 
*Ar-is-tar'chus  and  Se-ciin'dus; 
and  Ga'ius  of  'Der'be,  and  '"Ti- 
mo'the-iis;  and  of  A'sia,  *Tych'- 
i-cus  and  ^Troph'i-mus. 

5  These  going  before  tarried 
for  '^•"us  at  "Tro'as. 

6  And  °'"we  sailed  away  from 
■'^Phi-lip'pl  after  the  days  of  ''un- 
leavened bread,  and  came  unto 
them  to  "Tro'as  in  five  days; 
where  we  abode  seven  days. 

7  \  And  upon  the  *first  day 
of  the  week,  when  the  ^disciples 
came  together  ''•^to  break  'bread, 
"Paul  "preached  unto  them, 
ready  to  depart  on  the  morrow; 
and  "continued  his  speech  until 
midnight. 

8  And  there  were  many  lights  in 
the  "'upper  chamber,  where  they 
were  gathered  together. 

9  And  there  sat  in  a  ^window 
a    certain    young    man    named 


Eu'ty-chus,  being  fallen  into  a 
deep  ^sleep:  and  as  ''Paul  was 
long  "preaching,  he  sunk  down 
with  sleep,  and  fell  down  from 
the  third  '^loft,  and  was  taken 
up  ^dead. 

10  And  "Paul  went  down,  and 
fell  on  him,  and  embracing  him 
said,  Trouble  not  yourselves;  for 
his  life  is  in  him. 

1 1  When  he  therefore  was  come 
up  again,  and  had  ^broken 
•^bread,  and  eaten,  and  talked  a 
long  while,  even  till  break  of 
day,  so  he  departed. 

12  And  they  brought  thc^young 
man  alive,  and  were  not  a  little 
comforted. 

13  \  And  we  went  before  to 
''ship,  and  sailed  unto  As'sos, 
there  intending  to  take  in  "Paul: 
for  so  had  he  appointed,  minding 
himself  to  go  ^afoot. 

14  And  when  he  met  with  us 
at  As'sos,  we  took  him  in,  and 
came  to  Mit-y-le'ne. 

15  And  we  sailed  thence,  and 
came  the  next  day  over  against 
Chl'os;  and  the  next  day  we  ar- 
rived at  Sa'mos,  ''and  tarried  at 
Tro-gyl'li-uin ;  and  the  next  day 
we  came  to  '^^li-le'tus. 

16  For  "Paul  had  determined  to 
sail  by  -'Eph'e-sus,  because  he 
Avould  not  spend  the  time  in 
"A'sia:  for  he  hasted,  if  it  were 
possible  for  him,  to  be  at  ''Je- 
rii'sa-lem  the  day  of  ^Pen'tc- 
cost. 

17  \  And  from  *Ml-le'tus  he 
sent  to  ^Eph'e-sus,  and  called 
the   'elders  of  the  church. 

18  And  when  'they  were  come 
to  him,  he  said  unto  them,  Ye 
know,  from  the  first  day  that  I 
came    into    ''A'sia,    after    what

*•  ''wolves  enter  in  among  you,  not 
sparing  the  flock. 

30  Also  of  your  own  selves 
shall  men  arise,  speaking  per-

three  years  *''I  "ceased  not  to

word  of  his  grace,  '"which  is  able

he  said,  It  is  more  blessed  to 
give  than  to  receive.

spoken,  he  kneeled  down,  and

the  words  which  he  spake,  that

And  they  accompanied  him  unto

CHAPTER  21 

Paul,  snilinp  to  Si/n'a.  lands  first  at  Tyre; 
5  ami  afterward  at  Casarea.  8  where  he 
atiidcs  with  I'iiilip  the  evaiiyelist.  10 
lie  IV ill  not  be  dixsuadccl  from  going  to 
Jerusalem.  13  He  journeys  thither, 
and  is  gladly  received  by  the  brethren. 
20  Their  advice  to  him.  27  He  is  sei:ed 
in  the  tenifle  by  the. Jews:  31  bitt  is  rescued 
by  the  chief  captain,  37  and  permitted  to 
speak  to  the  people. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that  af- 
ter '^'''we  were  gotten  from 
them,  and  had  launched,  we 
came  with  a  straight  course  unto 
Co'os,  and  the  dat/  following 
unto  Rhode.s,  and  from  thence 
unto  Pat'a-ra: 

2  And  finding  a  '^ship  sailing 
over  unto  '^Phe-ni'^ia,  we  went 
aboard,  and  set  forth. 

3  Now  when  we  had  discovered 
*?y'prus,  we  left  it  on  the  left 
hand,  and  sailed  into  *Syr'i-a, 
and  landed  at  ''Tyre:  for  there 
the  ^ship  was  to  unlade  her  bur- 
den. 

4  And  finding  Misciples,  we  tar- 
ried there  seven  days:  who  said 
to  ''Paul  "through  the  ^Spirit, 
that  he  should  not  go  up  to 
'Je-rii'sa-Iem. 

5  And  when  we  had  accom- 
plished those  days,  "-^we  ^-'-'''de- 
partcd  and  went  our  way;  and 
they  all  brought  "us  on  our  way, 
with  wives  and  children,  till  we 
were  out  of  the  city:  and  we 
"kneeled  down  on  the  shore,  and 
''prayed. 

6  And  when  "•''we  had  taken 
our  leave  one  of  another,  we  took 
''ship;  and  they  returned  home 
again. 


7  And  when  "-^we  had  finished 
^our  course  from  'Tyre,  we  came 
to  Ptol-e-ma'is,  and  saluted  the 
brethren,  and  abode  with  them 
one  day. 

8  And  the  next  day  we  ^that 
were  of  Paul's  company  de- 
parted, and  came  unto  ^^ses-a- 
re'a:  and  "we  entered  into  the 
house  of  '^Phil'ip  the  'evangelist, 
which  was  one  of  the  seven;  and 
abode  with  him. 

9  And  the  same  man  had  four 
'•"daughters,  virgins,  which  did 
prophesy. 

10  And  as  we  tarried  there  many 
days,  there  came  down  from  *' Ju- 
dfe'a  a  certain  prophet,  named 
'"Ag'a-bus. 

1 1  And  when  ""he  was  come  un- 
to us,  he  took  Paul's  ^girdle,  and 
^bound  his  own  hands  and  feet, 
and  said,  ''Thus  saith  the  *Holy 
Ghost,  ^So  shall  the  Jew.s  at  ''Je- 
rii'sa-l6m  "bind  the  man  that 
owneth  this  girdle,  and  *shall 
deliver  him  into  the  hands  of  the 
'^Gen'tiles. 

12  And  when  we  heard  these 
things,  both  we,  and  they  of  that 
place,  '^besought  him  not  to  go 
up  to  ''Je-rii'sa-lem. 

13  Then  ''Paul  answered,  What 
mean  ye  to  'weep  and  to  break 
mine  heart  ?  for  "•''■^-^I  am  ready 
not  to  be  bound  only,*but  also  to 
die  at  "  Je-rii'sa-lem  for  the  name 
of  the  Lord  Je'sus. 

14  knd  when  he  "would  not  be 
persuaded,  we  ceased,  saying, 
The  Svill  of  the  Lord  be  done. 

15  And  after  those  days  ''•"^ve 
took  up  our  ^-arriages,  and  went 
up  to  '^Je-n/sa-lem. 

16  There  went  with  us  also  cer- 
tain of  the  "disciples  of  "^(^^ses-a- 
re'a,  and  brought  with  them  one 
Mna'son  of  *(,'y'prus,   an  ^old

disciple,  with  whom  we  should 
"lodge. 

17  And  when  we  were  come  to 
"Je-ni'sa-lem,  the  brethren  re- 
ceived us  gladly. 

18  And  the  day  following  ^Paul 
went  in  with  us  unto  ^ James; 
and  all  the  ^elders  were  present. 

19  And  when  he  had  saluted 
them,  he  declared  particularly 
what  things  God  had  wrought 
among  the  ''(jen'tile.s  by  his 
ministry, 

20  And  when  they  heard  it,  they 
^glorified  ^the  Lord,  and  'said 
unto  him,  Thou  seest,  "brother, 
how  many  thousands  of  Jew.g 
there  are  which  "believe;  and  they 
are  all  ""zealous  of  the  ^law: 

21  And  they  are  informed  of 
thee,  that  thou  teachest  all  the 
Jew.s  which  are  among  the  Gen'- 
tlles  ^to  forsake  Mo'.ses,  saying 
that  they  ought  not  to  ^circum- 
cise ^/ietV  children,  neither  to  walk 
after  the  customs. 

22  What  is  it  therefore  ?  ''the 
multitude  must  needs  come  to- 
gether: for  they  will  hear  that 
thou  art  come. 

23  'Do  therefore  this  that  we 
say  to  thee:  We  have  four  men 
which  have  a  ^vow  on  them; 

24  '"Them  take,  and  ''purify 
thyself  with  them,  and  be  at 
charges  with  them,  that  they 
may  shave  their  heads:  and  all 
may  know  that  those  things, 
whereof  they  w^ere  informed  con- 
cerning thee,  are  nothing;  but 
that  thou  thyself  also  walkest 
orderly,  and  keepest  the  law. 

25  As  touching  the  '^Gen'tlles 
which  '^believe,  we  ''have  written 
and  concluded  that  they  observe 
no  such  thing,  save  only  that 
they  keep  themselves  from  things 
offered  to  idols,  and  from  *blood, 
and  from  ''strangled,  and  from 
^fornication. 

26  ''■''Then  Taul  took  the  men, 
and  the  next  day  ''purifying  him- 


self with  them  entered  into  the 
'temple,  to  signify  the  accom- 
plishment of  the  days  of  purifi- 
cation, until  that  an  offering 
should  be  offered  for  every  one 
of  them. 

27  And  when  the  seven  days 
were  almost  ended,  the  Jew.s 
which  were  of  ^A'sia,  when  they 
saw  him  in  the  temple,  'stirred 
up  all  the  "'people,  and  laid  hands 
on  him, 

28  '"Crying  out,  INIen  of  T.s'rael, 
help:  "'"This  is  the  man,  that 
teacheth  all  men  every  where 
against  the  people,  and  the  ^law, 
and  this  place:  and  further 
brouo-ht  ^Greeks  also  into  the 
temple,  and  hath  polluted  this 
''holy  place. 

29  (For  they  had  seen  before 
with  him  in  the  city  Troph'i-miis 
an  £-phe'.sian,  whom  they  sup- 
posed that  Paul  had  brought 
into  the  ^temple.) 

30  And  all  the  city  was  moved, 
and  the  "'people  ran  together: 
and  they  *took  *Paul,  and  drew 
him  out  of  the  temple:  and  forth- 
with the  doors  were  shut. 

31  And  as  they  went  about  to 
kill  him,  tidings  came  unto  the 
'chief  captain  of  the  band,  that 
"'all  "Je-rii'sa-lem  was  in  an 
uproar. 

32  'Wlio  immediately  took  ''sol- 
diers and  "'centurions,  and  ran 
down  unto  them:  and  when  they 
saw  the  'chief  captain  and  the 
soldiers,  they  left  ^beating  of 
Paul. 

33  Then  the  'chief  captain  came 
near,  and  took  him,  and  com- 
manded him  to  be  bound  with 
two  ^chains;  and  demanded  who 
he  was,  and  what  he  had  done. 

34  And  some  cried  one  thing, 
some  another,  among  the  "'mul- 
titude: and  when  he  could  not 
know  the  certainty  for  the  tu- 
mult, he  commanded  him  to  be 
carried  into  the  castle.

35  And  ^\■l^cn  he  came  upon  the 
stairs,  so  it  was,  that  he  was 
borne  of  the  soldiers  for  the 
violence  of  the  '"people. 

3G  For  the  '"multitude  of  the 
people  followed  after,  crying, 
Away  with  him. 

37  And  as  'Paul  was  to  be  led 
into  the  castle,  he  said  unto  the 
'chief  captain.  May  I  speak  unto 
thee?  Who  said,  ^Canst  thou 
speak  ^Greek? 

38  Art  not  thou  that  E-gyp'- 
tian,  which  before  these  days 
^madest  an  uproar,  and  leddest 
out  into  the  Avilderness  four 
thousand  men  "that  were  mur- 
derers ? 

39  But  "Paul  said,  I  am  a  man 
which  am  a  JeAV  of  "Tiir'sus,  a 
city  in  ''(^i-lf  9ia,  a  citizen  of  no 
mean  city:  and,  I  beseech  thee, 
suffer  me  to  speak  unto  the 
people. 

40  And  when  he  had  given  him 
licence,  "Paul  stood  on  the  stairs, 
and  beckoned  with  the  hand  un- 
to the  people.  And  when  there 
was  made  a  great  silence,  he 
'^spake  unto  them  in  the  *He'- 
brcw  ''tongue,  saying, 

CHAPTER  22 

Paul  declares  to  Uie  people  the  manner  of  his 
conversion.  22  They  cry  out  against  him. 
24  The  chief  captain  commands  to  scourge 
him.  25  He  declares  himself  a  Roman, 
and  is  spared.  30  He  is  brought  before 
the  council. 

MEX,  brethren,  and  fathers, 
hear  ye  my  "defence  ivhicli 
*/  make  now  unto  you. 

2  (And  when  they  heard  that  he 
''spake  in  the  ''He'brew  ^tongue 
to  them,  they  kept  the  more  si- 
lence: and  he  .saith,) 

3  "^I  am  "verily  a  man  lohich  am 
a  Jew,  born  in  ''Tar'sus,  a  city  in 
"(^X-W^m,  yet  brought  up  in  this 
city  '^it  the  feet  of  *Ga-nia'li-el, 
and  ^''^taught  according  to  the 
^perfect  manner  of  the  'law  of 
the  fathers,  and  was  '"zealous  to- 
ward God,  as  ye  all  are  this  day. : 


4  And  I  "-"persecuted  this 
''•'way  unto  the  death,  '^binding 
and  delivering  into  prisons  both 
men  and  women. 

5  As  also  the  *high  priest  doth 
bear  me  witness,  and  all  the 
estate  of  the  elders:  from  whom 
also  I  received  'letters  unto  the 
brethren,  and  went  to  "Da-mas'- 
cus,  to  bring  ''thein  which  were 
there  bound  unto  "Je-rii'sa-lem, 
for  to  be  punished. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  I 
made  my  journey,  and  was  come 
nigh  unto  "Da-mas'cus  about 
noon,  suddenly  there  shone  from 
heaven  a  great  light  round  about 
me. 

7  And  I  fell  unto  the  ground, 
and  heard  a  '"voice  saying  unto 
me,  Saul,  Saul,  why  ^persecutest 
thou  me  ? 

8  And  I  answered.  Who  art 
thou.  Lord  ?  And  he  said  unto 
me,  I  am  Je'sus  of  Naz'a-rcth, 
whom  thou  ^persecutest. 

9  And  they  that  were  with  me 
saw  indeed  the  light,  *and  were 
afraid;  but  they  heard  not  the 
voice  of  him  that  spake  to  me. 

10  And  I  said.  What  shall  I  do. 
Lord  ?  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
me.  Arise,  and  go  into  ''Da-mas'- 
cus;  and  there  it  shall  be  told 
thee  of  all  things  which  are 
appointed  for  thee  to  do, 

11  And  when  I  could  %ot  see 
for  the  glory  of  that  light,  being 
led  by  the  hand  of  them  that 
were  with  me,  I  came  into  "Dii- 
mas'cus. 

12  And  one  ^\n-a-ni'as,  a  de- 
vout man  according  to  the  law, 
having  a  good  report  of  all  the 
Jews  which  dwelt  tliere, 

13  Came  unto  me,  and  stood, 
and  said  unto  me.  Brother  Saul, 
receive  thy  sight.  And  the  same 
hour  I  "looked  up  upon  him. 

14  And  he  said,  The  God  of  our 
fathers  hath  ^chosen  thee,  that 
thou    .shouldest   know   his   will,

and  see  ^that  ''Just  One,  and 
shouldest  hear  the  voice  of  his 
mouth. 

15  For  thou  shalt  be  his  '^•^vit- 
ness  unto  all  men  of  what  thou 
hast  seen  and  heard. 

16  And  now  why  tarriest  thou  ? 
arise,  and  be  'baptized,  and 
"wash  away  thy  sins,  calling  on 
^the  name  of  the  Lord. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  I  was  come  again  to  '*Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  even  while  I  *prayed 
in  the  'temple,  I  was  in  a 
^'trance; 

18  And  'saw  him  saying  unto 
me,  '"Make  haste,  and  get  thee 
quickly  out  of  '^Je-ru'sa-lem:  for 
they  "'"will  not  receive  thy  '*•  ^tes- 
timony concerning  me. 

19  And  I  said,  Lord,  they  know 
that  I  'imprisoned  and  *beat  in 
every  ''synagogue  them  that  *be- 
lieved  on  thee: 

20  And  when  the  blood  of  ^thy 
'martyr  "Ste'phen  was  shed,  I 
also  was  standing  by,  and  ''con- 
senting unto  his  death,  and  kept 
the  raiment  of  them  that  slew 
him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  me,  ""De- 
part: for  I  will  send  thee  far 
hence  unto  the  ^Gen'tileg. 

22  Tf  And  they  gave  him  audi- 
ence unto  this  word,  and  theji 
lifted  up  their  voices,  and  said, 
^■^■'^x\way  with  such  a  fellow 
from  the  earth:  for  it  is  not  fit 
that  he  should  live. 

23  And  as  they  cried  out,  and 
cast  off  their  clothes,  and  threw 
dust  into  the  air, 

24  The  ''•''chief  captain  com- 
manded %im  to  be  brought  in- 
to the  castle,  and  bade  that  he 
should  be  examined  by  *•  ''scourg- 


ing; 'that  he  might  know  where- 
fore they  cried  so  against  him. 

25  And  as  they  bound  him  with 
thongs,  "Paul  said  unto  the 
"•''centurion  that  stood  by,  Is  it 
lawful  for  you  to  scourge  a  man 
that  is  a  *Ro'man,  and  'uncon- 
demned  ? 

26  When  the  '^centurion  heard 
thai,  he  went  and  told  the  ''chief 
captain,  saying,  ^Take  heed  what 
thou  doest:  for  this  man  is  a 
*Ro'man. 

27  Then  the  ''chief  captain 
came,  and  said  unto  him,  Tell 
me,  art  thou  a  Ro'man  ?  He 
said,  Yea. 

28  And  the  ''chief  captain  an- 
swered, With  a  great  sum^ol)- 
tained  I  this  ^' ^freedom.  And 
"Paul  said,  But  'I  was  f7-ee 
born. 

29  Then  straightway  they  de- 
parted from  him  which  should 
have  examined  him:  and  the 
''chief  captain  also  was  afraid, 
after  he  knew  that  he  was  a  Rod- 
man, and  because  he  had  bound 
him. 

30  On  the  morrow,  because  he 
would  have  known  the  certainty 
wherefore  he  was  accused  of  the 
Jew.s,  he  loosed  him  from  his 
bands,  and  commanded  the  chief 
"'priests  and  all  their  "council  to 
appear,  and  brought  Paul  down, 
and  set  him  before  them.

2  And  'the  ''•^high  priest  \\n- 
a-nl'as  commanded  them  tliat 
stood  by  him  to  smite  him  on 
the  mouth. 

3  Then  ^-^said  Taul  unto 
him,  God  shall  smite  thee,  thou 
*^\vhited  wall:  for  sittest  thou  to 
judge  me  after  the  law,  and  com- 
mandest  me  to  be  smitten  con- 
trary to  the  law  ? 

4  And  they  that  stood  by  said, 
Revilest  thou  God's  high  priest  ? 

5  Then  said  "Paul,  I  ^vist  not, 
brethren,  that  he  Avas  the  'higli 
priest:  for  it  is  written,  ^Thou 
shalt  not  ""speak  evil  of  the  "ruler 
of  thy  people. 

6  But  when  "Paul  perceived 
that  the  one  part  were  "Sad'du- 
^ee.s,  and  the  other  ^Phar'i-see.s, 
he  'cried  out  in  the  council,  ^Men 
and  brethren,  I  am  a  Phar'i-see, 
the  son  of  a  Phar'i-see:  of  the 
''hope  and  ^resurrection  of  the 
dead  I  am  called  in  question. 

7  And  when  he  had  so  said, 
there  aro.se  a  'dissension  be- 
tween the  ^Phar'i-sees  and  the 
''Sad'du-9ees :  and  the  multitude 
was  divided. 

8  For  the  °S2.dMu-9ee.s  say  that 
there  is  no  ^resurrection,  neither 
angel,  nor  spirit:  but  the  ^Piiar'- 
i-sees  confess  both. 

9  And  there  arose  a  great  cry: 
and  the  "scribes  tJiat  were  of 
the  pPhar'i-sees'  part  arose,  and 
'strove,  saying.  We  find  no  evil 
in  this  man:  ^but  if  a  spirit  or  an 


"angel  hath  spoken  to  him,  let  us 
not  fight  against  God. 

10  And  when  there  arose  a  great 
'dissension,  the  '"chief  captain, 
fearing  lest  "Paul  should  have 
been  pulled  in  pieces  of  them, 
commanded  the  ^soldiers  to  go 
down,  and  to  take  him  by  force 
from  among  them,  and  to  bring 
him  into  the  castle. 

11  And  the  night  following  the 
Lord  ^'^stood  by  him,  and  ".said, 
Be  of  good  cheer,  *Paul:  for 
as  thou  hast  "^testified  of  me  in 
"^Je-rii'sa-lem,  so  must  thou  bear 
'^witness  also  at  *Rome. 

12  And  when  it  was  day,  ^cer- 
tain of  the  Jew.s  '-"banded  to- 
gether, and  bound  themselves 
under  a  '^curse,  saying  that  they 
would  neither  eat  nor  drink  till 
they  had  killed  "Paul. 

13  And  they  were  more  than 
forty  which  had  made  this  ''con- 
spiracy. 

14  And  they  came  to  the  chief 
priests  and  elders,  and  said.  We 
have  '-''bound  ourselves  under 
a  great  ''curse,  that  we  will  eat 
nothing  until  we  have  slain 
"Paul. 

15  Now  therefore  ye  with  the 
council  signify  to  the  chief  cap- 
tain that  he  bring  him  down  un- 
to you  to  morrow,  as  though  ye 
would  ^enquire  something  more 
perfectly  concerning  him:  and 
we,  or  ever  he  come  near,  are 
ready  to  kill  him.

went  and  entered  into  the  castle, 
and  'told  Paul. 

17  Then  "Paul  called  one  of  the 
^centurions  unto  him,  and  said, 
Bring  this  young  man  unto  the 
chief  captain:  for  he  hath  a  cer- 
tain thing  to  tell  him. 

18  So  he  took  him,  and  brought 
Am  to  the  chief  captain,  and  said, 
Paul  the  prisoner  called  me  unto 
him,  and  prayed  me  to  bring  this 
young  man  unto  thee,  who  hath 
something  to  say  unto  thee. 

19  Then  the  chief  captain  took 
him  by  the  hand,  and  went  uith 
him  aside  privately,  and  asked 
him,  What  is  that  thou  hast  to 
tell  me? 

20  And  he  said,  The  Jews 
have  agreed  to  desire  thee  that 
thou  wouldest  bring  down  Paul 
to  morrow  into  the  council,  as 
though  ^  they  would  encpiire  some- 
what of  him  more  perfectly. 

21  But  do  not  thou  yield  unto 
them:  for  there  "lie  in  wait  for 
him  of  them  more  than  forty 
men,  which  have  'bound  them- 
selves Vith  an  '''oath,  that  they 
will  neither  eat  nor  drink  till 
they  have  killed  him:  and  now 
are  they  ready,  looking  for  a 
promise  from  thee. 

22  So  the  chief  captain  then 
let  the  young  man  depart,  and 
''charged  him,  See  thou  tell  no 
man  that  thou  hast  shewed  these 
things  to  me. 

23  And  he  called  unto  him 
two  'centurions,  saying,  ]\Iake 
ready  two  hundred  'soldiers  to 
go  to  "' (^pes-a-re'a,  and  horse- 
men threescore  and  ten,  and 
spearmen  two  hundred,  at  the 
third  hour  of  the  night; 

24  And  provide  them  beasts, 
that  they  may  set  Paul  on,  and 
''bring  him  safe  unto  "Fe'lix  the 
Pgovei'uor. 

25  And  he  wrote  a  ^letter  after 
this  manner: 

26  ''ClauMi-us  Lv'si-as  unto  the 


most  excellent  governor  "Fe'lix 
sendeth  greeting. 

27  This  man  was  taken  of  the 
Jew.s,  and  ^should  have  been 
killed  of  them:  then  came  I  with 
an  army,  and  rescued  him,  hav- 
ing understood  that  he  was  a 
^•'Ro'man. 

28  And  when  I  would  have 
known  the  cause  wherefore  they 
accused  him,  I  brought  him  forth 
into  their  council: 

29  Whom  I  perceived  to  be  ac- 
cused of  questions  of  their  law, 
but  to  have  nothing  laid  to  his 
charge  worthy  of  death  or  of 
bonds. 

30  And  when  it  was  told  me 
how  that  ^the  Jews  'laid  wait  for 
the  man,  I  sent  straightway  to 
thee,  and  gave  commandment  to 
his  accusers  also  to  say  before 
thee  what  they  had  against  him. 
Farewell. 

31  Then  the  'soldiers,  as  it  was 
commanded  them,  took  Paul, 
and  brought  him  by  night  to 
An-tip'a-tris. 

32  On  the  morrow  they  left  the 
"horsemen  to  go  with  him,  and 
returned  to  the  castle: 

33  Who,  when  they  came  to 
'"(^fes-a-re'a,  and  delivered  the 
^epistle  to  the  ^governor,  pre- 
sented Paul  also  before  him. 

34  And  when  the  ''governor  had 
read  the  letter,  he  asked  of  what 
province  he  was.  And  when  he 
understood  that  he  was  of  "'^i- 
li'9ia; 

35  I  will  hear  thee,  said  he,  when 
thine  accusers  are  also  come.  And 
he  commanded  him  to  be  kept  in 
Her'od's  ^judgment  hall.

a  certain  *orator  named  Ter- 
ttil'lus,  who  '■informed  the '^■''gov- 
ernor against  ^Paul. 

2  And  when  he  was  called  forth, 
Ter-tfil'lus  began  to  accuse  him, 
saying,  "Seeing  that  by  ''thee  we 
enjoy  ^great  quietness,  and  that 
very  worthy  deeds  are  done  unto 
this  nation  by  thy  providence, 

3  ''We  accejit  it  always,  and  in 
all  places,  most  noble  *Fe'lLx, 
with  all  ^thankfulness. 

4  Notwithstanding,  that  I  be  not 
further  tedious  unto  thee,  I  pray 
thee  that  thou  wonkiest  hear  us 
of  thy  clemency  a  few  words. 

5  For  ''•'•%e  have  found  this 
man  a  pestilent  fellow,  and  a 
mover  of  ^sedition  among  all  the 
Jew.s  throughout  the  world,  and 
a  ringleader  of  the  '^sect  of  the 
Naz'a-renes : 

6  ''■'^■■'Who  also  hath  gone 
about  to  profane  the  temple: 
whom  we  took,  ^and  would  have 
judged  according  to  our  law. 

7  ■'But  the  'chief  captain  Ly'si- 
as  came  upon  us,  and  with  great 
violence  took  him  away  out  of 
our  hands, 

8  ^Commanding  his  accusers 
to  come  unto  thee:  by  examin- 
ing of  whom  thyself  mayest  take 


knowledge  of  all   these   things, 
whereof  we  accuse  him. 

9  And  the  Jew.s  alst»  assented, 
saying  that  these  things  were  so. 

10  \  Then  /Paul,  after  that  the 
'^governor  had  beckoned  unto 
him  to  speak,  "-'"answered.  For- 
asmuch as  I  know  that  thou  hast 
been  of  many  years  a  judge  unto 
this  nation,  T  do  the  more  cheer- 
fully ^'"answer  for  myself: 

11  Becau.se  that  thou  mayest 
understand,  that  there  arc  yet 
but  twelve  days  since  I  went  up 
to  "Je-ru'sa-lem  for  to  ^-'wor- 
ship. 

12  "And  they  neither  found  me 
in  the  ''temple  disputing  with  any 
man,  neither  raising  up  the  peo- 
ple, neither  in  the  'synagogues, 
nor  in  the  city: 

13  "^Neither  can  they  prove  the 
things  whereof  they  now  accuse 
me. 

14  But  this  'I  confess  unto  thee, 
that  after  the  "■  "way  which  they 
call  ^'^heresy,  so  worship  I  the

rection  ^of  the  dead,  both  of  the 
just  and  unjust. 

IG  And  herein  do  I  exercise  my- 
self, to  have  always  a  "^conscience 
''•'^•^void  of  offence  toward  God, 
and  ^'Howard  men. 

17  Now  after  many  years  I 
came  *to  bring  %lms  to  my  na- 
tion, and  offerings. 

18  ^''Whereupon  certain  Jews 
from  ^A'.sia  found  me  purified  in 
the  'temple,  neither  with  multi- 
tude, nor  with  tumult. 

19  '"Who  ought  to  have  been 
here  before  thee,  and  object,  if 
they  had  '^ought  against  me. 

20  Or  else  let  these  same  here 
say,  if  they  have  found  any  evil 
doing  in  me,  while  I  stood  before 
the  council, 

21  Except  it  be  for  this  one 
voice,  that  I  cried  standing 
among  them.  Touching  the  ''res- 
urrection of  the  dead  I  am  called 
in  question  by  you  this  day. 

22  11  12  And  when  'Te'lix  heard 
these  things,  having  more  per- 
fect knowledge  of  that  "way,  he 
deferred  them,  and  said.  When 
''Ly'si-as  the  chief  captain  shall 
come  down,  I  will  know  the  ut- 
termost of  your  matter. 

23  And  he  commanded  a  'cen- 
turion to  keep  Taul,  and  *to  let 
him  have  liberty,  and  that  he 
should  forbid  none  of  his  'ac- 
quaintance to  minister  or  come 
unto  him. 

24  And  after  certain  days,  when 
"Fe'lix  came  with  his  "wife  Drii- 
sil'la,  which  was  a  Jew'ess,  he 
sent  for  Paul,  and  heard  him 
concerning  the  ^'faith  in  "Christ. 

25  And  as  he  '"reasoned  of  ^righ  t- 
eousness,  ^temperance,and^judg- 
ment  to  come,  "Fe'lTx  ^^'^trem- 
bled,  and  answered,  ^■'^•'^Go  thy

should  have  been  given  him  of 
Paul,  i^that  he  might  loose  him: 
wherefore  he  sent  for  him  the  of- 
tener,  and  communed  with  him. 

27  But  i^after  two  years  "Por'- 
91-us  Fes'tus  came  into  "Fe'lix' 
room:  and  Fe'lix,  '^willing  to  shew 
the  ■'Jew.3  a  pleasure,  left  ^'Taul 
bound. 

CHAPTER  25 

The  Jews  inform  Festus,  in  Jerusalem, 
against  Paul.  6  Al  Casarea  he  hears  the 
apostle  and  his  accttsers.  10  Paul  ap- 
peals unto  Co'sar.  i;i  Festus  declares  the 
matter  to  king  Agrippa.  23  Paul  is 
brought  forth  before  Festus  and  Agrippa. 

NOW  when  "Fes'tus  was  come 
into  the  province,  after  three 
days  he  ascended  from  ^Qsss-d- 
re'a  to  '^Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  Then  the  4iigh  "Spriest  and  the 
chief  of  the  Jews  informed  "him 
against  Taul,  and  besought  him, 

3  And  desired  favour  against 
him,  that  he  would  send  for  him 
to  '^Je-ru'sa-lem,  ''laying  wait  in 
the  way  to  kill  him. 

4  But  ''Fes'tus  answered,  that 
Taul  should  be  kept  at  ''Qces-a- 
re'a,  and  that  he  himself  would 
depart  shortly  thither. 

5  ''Let  them  therefore,  said  he, 
which  -among  yon  are  able,  go 
down  with  me,  and  accuse  this 
man,  if  there  be  any  wickedness 
in  him. 

6  And  when  "he  had  tarried 
among  thein^more  than  ten  days, 
he  went  down  unto  ^Qses-a-re'a; 
and  the  next  day  sitting  on  the 
judgment  seat  commanded  Paul 
to  be  brought. 

7  And  when  he  was  come,  the 
Jews  which  came  down  from 
'^Je-rii'sa-lem  stood  round  about, 
and  '■■''laid  many  and  grievous 
complaints  against  Taul,  which 
they  could  not  prove.

self,  Neither  against  tlie  law  oi 
the  Jew.s,  neither  against  the 
temple,  nor  yet  against  *Qse'sar, 
have  I  offended  any  thing  at  all. 

9  Bnt  "-^Fes'tus,  ''•'willing  to 
do  the  '"Jew.s  si  pleasure,  an- 
swered ^Paul,  and  said,  "Wilt 
thou  go  up  to  '^Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
there  be  judged  of  these  things 
before  me  ? 

10  Then  said  Paul,  I  stand 
at  *CVsar's  ^'"judgment  seat, 
where  I  ought  to  be  judged:  to 
the  Jew.s  ^have  I  done  no  wrong, 
as  thou  very  well  knowest. 

11  For  if  I  ^be  an  offender, 
or  have  committed  any  thing 
worthy  of  death,  I  refuse  not  to 
die:  but  if  there  be  none  of  these 
things  whereof  these  accuse  me, 
no  man  may  deliver  me  unto 
them.  "■  '*'  'I  appeal  unto  *  (^8e'.sar. 

12  Then  "Fes'tus,  when  he  had 
conferred  with  the  council,  an- 
swered, Hast  ''•^thou  "appealed 
unto  *(,'{E'sar  ?  unto  ^ai'sar  shalt 
thou  go. 

13  T[  And  after  certain  days 
king  A-grip'pa  and  ''Ber-nl'^e 
came  unto  ^Qses-a-re'a  to  salute 
'^Ffis'tus. 

14  And  when  they  had  been 
there  many  days,  "Fes'tus  de- 
clared -Taurs  cause  unto  the 
king,  saying.  There  is  a  certain 
man  left  in  bonds  by  ■'"Fe'ttx: 

15  About  whom,  when  I  was  at 
'^Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  chief  priests 
and  the  elders  of  the  Jew.s  in- 
formed me,  desiring  to  have  judg- 
ment against  him. 

16  To  whom  I  answered,  It  is 
not  the  manner  of  the  'Ro'maas 
to  deliver  any  ''man  "to  die,  be- 
fore that  he  which  is  accused 
have  the  accusers  face  to  face, 
and  have  ^licence  to  '-"answer 
for  himself  concerning  the  crime 
laid  acainst  him. 


17  Therefore,  when  they  were 
come  hither,  without  any  delay 
on  the  morrow  1  sat  on  the  judg- 
ment seat,  and  commanded  the 
man  to  be  brought  forth. 

18  x\gainst  whom  when  the  ac- 
cusers stood  up,  they  brought 
none  "accusation  of  such  things 
as  I  supposed: 

19  But  had  certain  questions 
against  him  of  their  own  ^super- 
stition,  and  of  one  Je'.sus,  which 
was  ""dead,  whom  Paul  ^affirmed 
to  be  ^alive. 

20  And  ^because  I  doubted  of 
such  manner  of  questions,  I 
asked  him  whether  he  would  go 
to  '^Je-ni'sa-lem,  and  there  be 
judged  of  these  matters. 

21  But  when  'Paul  had  »• 'ap- 
pealed to  be  reserved  unto  the 
hearing  of  *'^''Au-gus'tus,  I  com- 
manded him  to  be  kept  till  I 
mierht  send  him  to  *Cte'sar. 

22  Then  A-grip'pa  said  unto 
'^Fes'tus,  I  would  also  hear  the 
man  myself.  To  morrow,  said 
he,   thou  shalt  hear  him. 

23  And  on  the  morrow,  when 
A-grip'pa  was  come,  and  ''Ber- 
ni'^e,  with  great  pomp,  and  was 
entered  into  the  place  of  hear- 
ing, with  the  chief  captains,  and 
principal  men  of  the  city,  at 
"Fes'tus'  commandment  '^Paul 
was  brought  forth. 

24  And  "Fes'tus  said,  King 
A-grip'pa,  and  all  men  which 
are  here  present  with  us,  ye  see 
this  man,  about  whom  all  the 
multitude  of  the  Jew.s  have  dealt 
with  me,  both  at  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  aho  here,  '^crying  that  he 
ought  not  to  live  any  longer. 

25  But  when  I  found  that  he 
had  committed  nothing  worthy 
of  death,  and  that  he  himself 
hath 'appealed  to  *'*''Au-gus'tus, 
I  have  determined  to  send  him.

thee  to  be  expert  in  all  customs 
and  questions  which  are  among 
the  Jews:  wherefore  I  beseech 
thee  to  hear  me  patiently.

youth,  which  was  at  the  first 
among  mine  own  nation  at  ^Je-

5  Which  knew  me  from  the  be- 
ginning, if  they  would  testify, 
that  after  the  ^most  straitest  sect 
of  our  religion  I  lived  a  ^Phar'i- 
see. 

6  And  now  "I  stand  and  am

were  "put  to  death,  I  gave  my 
voice  against  them. 

11  x\nd  I  ^punished  them  oft 
in  ■'every  ^synagogue,  and  com- 
pelled them  to  "'blaspheme; 
and  *'  ''being  exceedingly  ^-  %iad 
against  them,  I  ^persecuted  them, 
even  unto  strange  cities. 

12  Whereupon  as  I  went  to  ^Da- 
mas'cus  with  authority  and  com- 
mission from  the  chief  "priests, 

13  At  midday,  O  king,  ''•'^I  '^saw 
in  the  way  a  'light  from  heaven, 
above  the  brightness  of  the  sun, 
shining  round  about  me  and  them 
which  journeyed  with  me. 

14  And  when  we  were  all  fallen 
to  the  earth,  I  heard  a  'voice 
speaking  unto  me,  and  saying 
in  die  "He'brew  ^tongue,  Saul, 
Saul,  why  ^persecutest  thou  me  ? 
it  is  hard  for  thee  to  kick  against 
the  ^pricks. 

15  And  I  said.  Who  art  thou, 
Lord  ?  And  he  said,  I  am  Je'sus 
wliom  thou  '^persecutest. 

16  But  rise,  and  stand  upon  thy 
feet:  for  I  have  'appeared  unto 
thee  for  this  purpose,  'to  make 
thee  a  minister  and  a  ^witness 
both  of  these  things  which  thou 
hast  seen,  and  of  those  things 
in  the  which  I  will  appear  unto 
thee; 

17  Delivering  thee  from  the 
people,  and  frorn  the  Gen'tlles, 
unto  whom  now  I  '■'"send  "-'thee, 

18  *To  open  their  ''eyes,  and 
Ho  turn  them  from  "-darkness 
to  '' ''light,  and  from  the  power  of 
*Sa'tan  unto  God,  that  they  may

19  Whereupon,  O  king  A-grip'- 
pa,  ^I  was  ^not  disobedient  unto 
the  heavenly  "^vision: 

20  But  shewed  first  unto  them 
of  ^Da-mas'cus,  and  at  °Je-ni'- 
sa-lem,  and  throughout  all  the 
coasts  of  ^Ju-dse'a,  and  the7i 
to  the  ''Gfin'tlle.s,  that  they 
should  '^repent  and  turn  to  God, 
and  do  works  meet  for  repent- 
ance. 

21  For  these  causes  the  Jew.s 
^■*caught  me  in  the  ^temple,  and 
''went  about  to  kill  m,e. 

22  Having  therefore  obtained 
"help  of  God,  I  continue  unto 
this  day,  '^■Hvitnessing  both  to 
small  and  great,  saying  none 
other  things  than  those  which 
the  'prophets  and  *Mo'ses  did 
say  should  come: 

23  That '■'"Christ  should  '^•"suf- 
fer, and  that  he  should  be  the 
first  that  should  ^rise  from  the 
dead,  and  should  shew  'light  un- 
to the  people,  and  to  the  '^Gen'- 
tlle.s. 

24  ^  And  as  he  thus  ''spake 
for  himself,  *P'es'tus  said  with  a 
loud  voice,  'Paul,  thou  art  "be- 
side thyself;  much  learning  doth 
make  thee  inafl. 

25  But  he  said,  I  am  not  mad, 
most  ^noble  *Fes'tus;  but  speak 
forth  the  words  of  ''truth  and 
soberness, 

26  For  the  king  knoweth  of 
these  things,  before  whom  also  I 
speak  freely:  for  I  am  per- 
suaded that  none  of  these  things 
are  hidden  from  him;  for  this 
thing  was  not  done  in  a  cor- 
ner, 

27  King  A-grip'pa,  believest 
thou  the  'prophets  ?  I  know  that 
thou  believest. 

28  Then  A-grip'pa  said  unto 


Paul,  ^-"Almost  thou  persuadest 
me  to  be  a  •''Chris'tian. 

29  And  Paul  said,  ^-'l  would  to 
God,  that  '"not  only  thou,  but 
also  all  that  hear  me  this  day, 
were  both  almost,  and  altogether 
such  as  I  am,  except  these  bonds. 

30  And  when  he  had  thus  spo- 
ken, the  "king  rose  up,  and  the 
"• ''governor,  and '^■'^Ber-ni'fe,  and 
they  that  sat  with  them: 

31  And  when  they  were  gone 
aside,  they  talked  between  them- 
selves, saying.  This  man  doeth 
nothing  worthy  of  death  or  of 
bonds. 

32  Then  said  A-grip'pa  unto 
'^Fes'tus,  This  man  might  have 
been  set  at  liberty,  if  he  had  not 
^•'appealed  unto  (^se'sar.

phyl'T-a,  we  came  to  IVIy'ra,  a  city 
of  Ly'9ia. 

6  And  there  the  ^centurion 
found  a  "ship  of  *Al-ex-an'dri-a 
sailing  into  "It'a-ly;  and  he  put 
us  therein. 

7  And  when  we  had  sailed 
slowly  many  days,  and  scarce 
were  come  over  against  Cni'dus, 
the  wind  not  suffering  us,  we 
sailed  under  ^Crete,  over  against 
S&l-mo'ne; 

8  And,  ^hardly  passing  it,  came 
unto  a  place  which  is  called  The 
fair  havens;  nigh  whereunto  was 
the  city  of  La-se'a. 

9  T[  Now  when  much  time  was 
s])ent,  and  when  sailing  was  now 
dangerous,  because  the  ''■^fast 
was  now  already  past,  Paul  ad- 
monished them, 

10  And  said  unto  them,  Sirs,  I 
perceive  that  'this  voyage  will 
be  with  hurt  and  much  dam- 
age, not  only  of  the  lading  and 
"ship,  but  also  of  our  lives. 

11  Nevertheless  the  centurion 
believed  the  master  and  the 
owner  of  the  ship,  more  than 
those  things  which  were  spoken 
by  Paul. 

12  And  because  the  haven  was 
not  commodious  to  "winter  in, 
the  more  part  advised  to  depart 
thence  also,  if  by  any  means  they 
might  attain  to  ^Phe-nl'9e,  and 
there  to  winter;  which  is  an  ha- 
ven of  ^Crete,  ^and  lieth  toward 
the  south  west  and  north  west. 

13  And  when  the  ^south  wind 
blew  softly,  supposing  that  they 
had  obtained  tJieir  purpose,  loos- 
ing thence,  they  sailed  close  by 
^Crete. 

14  But  'not  long  after  there 
arose  against  it  a  ^tempestuous 
wind,  called   ^Eu-roc'ly-don. 

15  And  when  the  "ship  was 
caught,  and  could  not  bear  up 
into  the  "wind,  we  let  her  drive.

16  And  ^running  under  a  cer- 
tain island  which  is  called  Clau'- 
da,  we  had  much  work  to  come 
by  the  boat: 

17  Which  when  they  had  taken 
up,  they  used  helps,  undergird- 
ing  the  ship;  and,  'fearing  lest 
they  should  ^fall  into  the  quick- 
sands, strake  sail,  and  so  were 
driven. 

18  And  we  'being  exceedingly 
tossed  with  a  ^tempest,  the  next 
day  they  ^lightened  the  ship; 

19  And  the  third  day  we  cast 
out  with  our  own  hands  the  tack- 
ling of  the  "ship. 

20  And  'when  neither  sun  nor 
stars  in  many  days  appeared, 
and  no  small  tempest  lay  on  us, 
"'•■^all  hope  that  we  should  be 
saved  was  then  taken  away. 

21  T[  But  after  long  abstinence 
Paul  stood  forth  in  the  midst  of 
them,  and  ^said.  Sirs,  ye  should 
have  hearkened  unto  me,  and 
not  have  loosed  from  ^Crete, 
and  to  have  gained  this  harm 
and  loss. 

22  And  now  I  exhort  you  to  be 
of  good  cheer:  for  there  shall  be 
no  loss  of  any  man's  life  among 
you,  but  of  the  ship. 

28  For  Hhere  stood  by  me  this 
night  the  "angel  of  God,  "whose 
I  am,  *and  whom  I  '^serve, 

24  Saying,  Fear  not,  Paul ;  thou 
must  be  brought  before  ^se'sar: 
and,  lo,  "^God  hath  given  thee  all 
them  that  sail  with  thee. 

25  Wherefore,  sirs,  be  of  good 
cheer:  for  I  ^believe  God,  that  it 
shall  be  even  as  it  was  told  me. 

26  Howbeit  we  must  be  cast 
upon  a  certain  island. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth 
night  was  come,  as  we  were 
driven  ^''up  and  down  in  A'drT-a, 
about  midnight  the  'shipmen 
deemed  that  they  drew  near  to

saved. 

32  Then  the  soldiers  cut  off  the 
ropes  of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall 
off. 

33  And  while  the  day  was  com- 
ing on,  Paul  besought  them  all  to 
take  ^meat,  saying,  This  day  is 
the  fourteenth  day  that  ye  have 
tarried  and  continued  ^fastinir, 
having  taken  nothing. 

34  Wherefore  I  pray  you  to 
take  some  '^meat:  for  this  is  for 
your^^health :  for '"there  shall  not 
an  hair  fall  from  the  head  of 
any  of  you. 

35  And  when  he  had  thus  spo- 
ken, he  took  bread,  and  "gave 
thanks  to  God  in  presence  of 
them  all:  and  when  he  had 
broken  it,  he  began  to  eat. 

30  Then  were  they  all  of  good 
cheer,  and  they  also  took  some 
"'*meat. 

37  And  we  were  in  all  in  the 
ship  two  hundred  threescore  anfl 
sixteen  .souls. 

38  And  when  tliey  had  eaten 
enough,  they  lightened  the  ship, 
and  cast  out  the  wheat  into  the 
sea. 


39  And  when  it  was  day,  they 
knew  not  the  land:  but  they  dis- 
coveretl  a  certain  '^creek  with  a 
shore,  into  the  which  they  were 
minded,  if  it  were  possible,  to 
thrust  in  the  ship. 

40  Antl  >'when  they  had  taken 
up  the  ''anchors,  they  committed 
themselves  unto  the  sea,  and 
loosed  the  "rudder  bands,  and 
hoised  up  the  mainsail  to  the 
wind,  and  made  toward  shore. 

41  ^And  falling  into  a  place 
where  two  seas  met,  they  ran 
the  *ship  aground ;  and  the  fore- 
part stuck  fast,  and  remained 
unmoveable,  but  the  hinder  part 
was  broken  with  the  violence  of 
the  waves. 

42  x4.nd  the  'soldiers'  counsel 
was  to  kill  the  ''prisoners,  lest 
any  of  them  should  swim  out, 
and  escape. 

43  But  the  'centurion,  willing  to 
save  Paul,  kept  them  from  their 
purpose;  and  commanded  that 
they  which  could  swim  should 
cast  themselves  first  into  the  sea, 
and  get  to  land: 

44  And  the  rest,  some  on 
boards,  and  some  on  ^^hroTcen 
pieces  of  the  ship.  And  so  it 
came  to  pass,  that  they  escaped 
all  safe  to  land. 

CHAPTER  28 

Paul  is  kindly  entertained  by  the  barbarous 
people  of  Melita.  3  A  viper  fastens  on 
his  hand  ivithout  harm.  8  He  heals 
many  who  had  diseases.  11  His  journey 
to  Rome.  17  He  declares  to  the  .Jews  the 
cause  of  his  coming,  and  persuades  them 
concerning  .Jesus.  24  Some  believe.  30 
Paul  preaches  two  whole  years  in  his  own 
hired  house  at  Rome. 

AND  when  ^•"-"they  were  cs- 
cajjcd,  then 'they  knew  that 
the  island  was  called  Mel'i-ta. 

2  And  the  '^barbarous  peoj)le 
shewed  us  no  little  ♦•''kindness: 
for  they  kindled  a  "fire,  and  ^re- 
ceived us  every  one,  because  f)f  I

the  present  ''rain,  and  because  of 
the  cold. 

3  And  when  "Paul  had  gathered 
a  bundle  of  sticks,  and  laid  them, 
on  the  ^fire,  there  came  a  ''viper 
out  of  the  heat,  and  fastened  on 
his  hand. 

4  And  when  the  "^barbarians 
saw  the  venomous  beast  hang 
on  his  hand,  they  said  among 
themselves.  No  doubt  this  man 
is  a  murderer,  whom,  though  he 
hath  escaped  the  sea,  yet  ^ven- 
geance suffereth  not  to  live. 

5  And  he  shook  off  the  beast 
into  the  *fire,  and  *felt  no  harm. 

6  Howbeit  they  looked  when  he 
should  have  swollen,  or  fallen 
down  dead  suddenly:  but  after 
they  had  looked  a  great  while, 
and  saw  *no  harm  come  to  him, 
they  changed  their  minds,  and 
said  that  he  was  a  god. 

7  ^  In  the  same  quarters  were 
possessions  of  the  chief  man  of 
the  island,  whose  name  was 
Piib'li-us;  who  received  us,  and 
lodged  us  three  days  courte- 
ously. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the 
father  of  Pub'lT-us  lay  sick  of  a 
^■^fever  and  ^of  a  bloody  flux: 
to  whom  Paul  entered  in,  and 
'prayed,  and  laid  his  "'hands 
on  him,  and  '^^ "healed  him. 

9  So  when  this  was  done, 
others  also  which  had  ^diseases 
in  the  island,  came,  and  were 
*•  "healed: 

10  Who  also  honoured  us  with 
many  honours;  and  when  we  de- 
parted, tbey  "laded  us  with  such 
things  as  were  necessary. 

1 1  T[  And  after  three  months  we 
departed  in  a  ^ship  of  *x\l-ex- 


an'dri-a,  which  had  ''wintered  in 
the  isle,  whose  sign  was  *Cas't6r 
and  Pol'lux. 

12  And  landing  at  Syr'a-cuse, 
we  tarried  tfwre  three  days. 

13  And  from  thence  we  ^fetched 
a  compass,  and  came  to  Rhe'gt- 
lim:  and  after  one  day  the  *south 
wind  blew,  and  we  came  the  next 
day  to  Pu-te'o-ll: 

14  Where  we  found  'brethren, 
and  were  Mesired  to  tarry  with 
them  "seven  days:  and  so  we 
went  toward  ''Rome. 

15  And  from  thence,  when  the 
'brethren  heard  of  us,  they  "'came 
to  meet  us  as  far  as  ®Ap'pi-I 
fo'rum,  and  The  three  tav- 
erns: whom  when  Paul  saw,  he 
-'^thanked  God,  and  took  ^cour- 
age. 

16  And  when  we  came  to 
"Rome,  ^the  ^centurion  delivered 
the  prisoners  to  the  captain  of 
the  guard:  but  °'*Paul  was  suf- 
fered to  dwell  by  himself  with  a 
"^soldier  that  kept  him. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
after  three  days  "Paul  called  the 
chief  of  the  Jew.s  together:  and 
when  they  were  come  together, 
he  said  unto  them,  ^Men  and 
brethren,  though  I  have  com- 
mitted nothing  against  the  peo- 
ple, or  customs  of  our  fathers, 
yet  was  I  delivered  prisoner  from 
''Je-rii'sa-lem  into  the  hands  of 
the  Ro'mans. 

18  Who,  when  they  had  exam- 
ined me,  would  have  let  me  go, 
because  there  was  no  cause  of 
death  in  me. 

19  But  when  the  Jews  spake 
against  it,  I  was  constrained  to 
^' ^appeal  unto  ^fe'gar;  not  that

I  had  ^ought  to  accuse  my  na-

20  For  this  cause  therefore 
'"have  I  called  for  you,  to  see 
ijou,  and  to  speak  with  you: 
because  that  for  the  ''•"hope  of 
I.s'ra-el  I  am  bound  with  this 
''chain. 

21  And  they  said  unto  him,  We 
neither  received  letters  out  of 
'Ju-dieM  concernino;  thee,  nei- 
ther any  of  the  brethren  that 
came  shewed  or  spake  any  harm 
of  thee. 

22  But  we  desire  to  hear  of 
thee  what  thou  thinkest:  for  as 
concerning  this  sect,  we  know 
that  every  where  it  is  ^"spoken 
against. 

23  And  when  they  had  ap- 
pointed "him  a  day,  there  came 
many  to  him  into  his  lodging;  to 
whom  ^he  'expounded  and  "'tes- 
tified the  "^kingdom  of  God,  per- 
suading them  concerning  "Je'- 
.sus,  both  out  of  the  ^'^law  of 
Mo'se.s,  and  out  of  the  ''prophets, 
from  morning  till  evening. 

24  And  some  ^believed  the 
things  which  were  spoken,  and 
'some  "'^believed  not. 

25  And  when  they  agreed  not 
among  themselves,  they  departed, 
after  that  Paul  had  spoken  one 


word,  "'Well  ^spake  the  ^Holy 
(rliost  by  ^Jl-sa'ias  the  "prophet 
unto  our  fathers, 

26  Saying,  Go  unto  this  people, 
and  say,  Hearing  ye  shall  hear, 
and  shall  ''not  understand;  and 
seeing  ye  shall  see,  and  '^not  per- 
ceive: 

27  For  *the  ''heart  of  this  peo- 
ple is  waxed  gross,  and  their  ears 
are  *dull  of  hearing,  and  their 
eyiis  have  they  ''closed;  lest  they 
should  see  with  tJieir  eyes,  and 
hear  with  their  ears,  and  un- 
derstand with  their  heart,  and 
should  'M)e  converted,  and  I 
should    heal    them. 

28  Be  it  known  therefore  unto 
you,  that  the  ^salvation  of  God 
is  sent  unto  the  "Gen'tlle§,  and 
that  they  will  hear  it. 

29^^ And  when  he  had  said  these 
words,  the  Jew.s  departed,  and 
had gnjat  reasoning  among  them- 
selves. 

30  t  And  'Taul  dwelt  tAvo 
whole  years  in  his  own  ■'■hired

came    in    unto   him,

8  First,  I  ^thank  my  God 
"through  Je'.sus  ^Christ  for  you 
all,  that  your  '^faith  is  spoken  of 
throughout  the  whole  world. 

9  For  God  is  my  witness,  whom 
I  serve  with  my  '^spirit  in  the 
^gospel  of  his  ^Son,  that  ''without 
ceasing  I  make  mention  of  you 
always  in  my  ''prayers; 

10  ^-'Making  request,  if  by  any 
means  now  at  length  I  might  have

12  That  is,  that  I  ^may  be

and  me.

the  unwise. 

15  So,  as  much  as  in  me  is,  ^I 
am  ready  to  "*- "preach  the  *gos- 
pel  to  you  that  are  at  ^Rome  also. 

16  For  *1  am  not  ashamed  of 
the  ^gospel  *of  Christ:  for  it  is 
the  '■power  of  God  unto  ^salvation 
to  everyone  thaf^believeth;  to  the 
Jew  first,  and  also  to  the  Greek. 

17  For  therein  is  the  'righteous- 
ness of  God  revealed  from  faith 
to  faith:  as  it  is  written,  "The 
just  shall  live  by  '^faith. 

18  For  nhe  "'wrath  of  God  is 
revealed  from  -^heaven  against 
all  ungodliness  and  unrighteous- 
ness of  men,  "who  hold  the  truth 
in  unrighteousness; 

19  Because  ^'"that  which  may

them;  for  God  hath  shewed  it 
unto  them.

derstood by  the  things  that  are 
made,  even  his  ''eternal  'power 
and  Godhead;  so  that  they  are 
without  "excuse: 

21  Because  that,  *when  they 
knew  God,  *they  'glorified  him. 
not  as  God,  ^neither  were 
^thankful;  but  became  *vain  in

Jew,  and  ''restest  in  the  'law,  and 
makest  thy  boast  of  God, 

18  And  knowest  his  will,  and 
appro  vest  the  things  that  are 
more  excellent,  being  "'instructed 
out  of  the  'law;

^darkness,

ish, a  teacher  of  ''babes,  which 
hast  the  form  of  knowledge  and 
of  the  truth  in  the  '^law. 

21  ^Thou  therefore  which  teach- 
est  another,  ''teachest  thou  not 
thyself  ?  thou  that  preachest  a 
man  should  not  ^steal,  Most  thou 
steal ? 

22  '^Thou  that  sayest  a  man 
should  not  commit  ''adultery, 
Most  thou  commit  adultery  ? 
thou  that  abhorrest  'idols,  dost 
thou  ^commit  sacrilege  ? 

23  "^Thou  that  makest  thy  boast

25  For  "circumcision  verily 
profiteth,  if  thou  keep  the  ^law: 
but  if  thou  be  a  ^breaker  of  the 
law,  thy  circumcision  is  made 
uncircumcision. 

26  Therefore  if  the  uncircum-

the  letter  and  circumcision  dost 
transgress  the  law  ?

in  the  flesh:

CHAPTER  3 

Objections  answered.  9  All  men  nrc  under 
sin.  20  No  flesh  justified  bi/ tlie  law.  28 
A  man  is  justified  by  faith  without  the 
deeds  of  the  law.  31  The  law  is  not 
made  void  through  faith. 

WHAT  advantage  then  hath 
the  Jew  ?  or  what  profit  ?.v 
there  of  "circumcision  ? 

2  ]Much  every  way:  chiefly,  be- 
cause that  unto  ''•'"them  were 
committed  the  '^•^oracles  of  God. 

3  For  what  if  some  ^did  ''not  be- 
lieve? shall  their  unbelief  make 
the  "faith  of  God  without  effect? 

4  God  forbid:  yea,  let  ''God  be 
Hrue,  but  every  man  a  'liar;  as  it 
is  written,  ''^That  thou  mightest 
be  justified  in  thy  sayings,  and 
mightest  ^overcome  when  thou 
art  ^judged. 

5  But  if  our  unrighteousness 
commend  the  ''righteousness  of 
God,  what  shall  we  say  ?  Is 
God  unrighteous  who  ^taketh 
vengeance  ?   (I  speak  as  a  man) 

6  God  forbid:  for  then  how 
shall  God  ^judge  the  world  ? 

7  For  if  the  "'truth  of  God  hath 
more  abounded  through  my  lie 
unto  his  "glory;  why  yet  am  I 
also  judged  as  a  sinner  ? 

8  And  not  rather,  (as  we  be 
"•^slanderously  reported,  and  as 
some  affirm  that  we  say,)  Let  us 
do  evil,  that  good  may  come  ? 
who.se   ■'damnation  is  just. 

9  What  then  ?  arc  we  ^better 
tJian  theyt  No,  in  no  wise:  for 
we  have  before  proved  both  Jews 
and  Gen'tlle.^,  that  they  are  *all 
under  ''sin; 

10  As  it  is  A\Titten,  ''"There  is 

Depravity,  vnl-  ,  '

standeth,    'there    is    none    that 
"seeketh  after  God. 

12  They  are  all  gone  out  of  the 
way,  they  are  together  become 
unprofitable;  ^tliere  is  none  that 
doeth  good,  no,  not  one. 

13  '-^Their  throat  is  an  open 
sepulchre;  with  their  "'tongues 
they  have  u.sed  -^deceit;  ^the  ^poi- 
son of  "a.sps  is  under  their  lips: 

14  ''Whose  mouth  is  full  of  curs- 
ing and  bitterness: 

15  '^Their  feet  are  swift  to  shed 
blood: 

16  Destruction  and  misery  are 
in  their  ways: 

17  And  the  way  of  peace  have 
they  not  known: 

18  "^^  "There  is  no  ''fear  of  God 
before  their  eyes. 

19  Now  we  know  that  what 
things  soever  the  ''law  saith,  it 
saith  to  them  who  are  under  the 
law:  that  every  ''mouth  may  be 
stopped,  and  all  the  world  may 
"become  guilty  before  God. 

20  Therefore  by  the  \leeds  of 
the  ^law  there  shall  no  flesh  be 
'justified  in  his  sight:  for  by  the 
law  is  the  knowledge  of  sin. 

21  But  now  the  ''righteousness 
of  God  without  tlic  law  is  mani- 
fested, being  witnessed  by  the 
''•'law  and  the  'prophets; 

22  Even  the  ^'righteousness  of 
God  which  is  by  '"faith  of  Je'- 
sus  Christ  unto  all  and  upon  all 
them  that  believe:  for  there  is 
no  ^difference: 

23  For  *all  have  sinned,  antl 
^corae  short  of  the  glory  of  God; 

24  Being  ''justified  freely  by  his 
"grace  through  the  ^•'•''redemp- 
tion that  is  in  *■ 'Christ  Je'sns: 

25  Wliom  God  hath  set  forth

t  Sin,  forgiveness 
of,  Rom.  5  12. 


mission  of  sins  that  are  past, 
through  the  "'forbearance  of 
God; 

26  To  declare,  I  say,  at  this 
time  his  righteousness:  that  he 
might  be  "^just,  and  the  '^ustifier 
of  him  which  "' belie veth  in  Je'- 
sus. 

27  Where  ^"is *•  Coasting  then? 
It  is  excluded.  By  what  law  ?  of 
works  ?  Nay:  but  by  the  law  of 
^faith. 

28  Therefore  we  conclude  that 
a  man  is  "justified  by  ''faith  with- 
out the  deeds  of  the  '^law. 

29  Is  he  the  ''God  of  the  "Jews 
only  ?  is  '^he  not  also  of  the 
^Gen'tlles  ?  Yes,  of  the  Gen'- 
tlles  also: 

30  Seeing  it  is  ''one  God,  which 
shall  ''justify  the  ^circumcision 
by  *faith,  and  'uncircumcision 
through   faith. 

31  Do  we  then  make  void 
the  '^law  through  *faith  ?  God 
forbid:  ^^yea,  we  establish  the 
law. 

CHAPTER  4 

Abraham's  faith  urns  counted  unto  him  for 
righteousness,  10  before  he  was  circum- 
cised. 13  The  promise  to  him  was 
through  the  righteousness  of  faith.  18 
The  strength  of  his  faith.  23  His  exam- 
ple recorded  for  our  sake. 

WHAT  shall  we  say  then  that 
'^A'bra-ham  our  ^father, 
as  pertaining  to  the  flesh,  hath 
found  ? 

2  For  if  '^A'brS.-ham  were  *jus- 
tified  by  '^works,  he  hath  ivhereoj 
to  glory;  but  not  before  God. 

3  For  what  saith  the  ''scrip- 
ture? "A'bi-a-ham  "believed  God, 
and  it  was  ^counted  unto  him  for 
^righteousness. 

4  "Now  to  ''•%im  that  worketh 
is  the  ^reward  not  reckoned  of 
grace,  but  of  debt. 

5  But  to  him  that  worketh  not, 
but  "believeth  on  him  that  ''•'^jus- 
tifieth  the  ungodly,  his  *faith  is 
^counted  for  Mghteousness. 


6  Even  as  Da'vid  also  ^de- 
scribeth  the  'blessedness  of  the 
man,  unto  whom  God  imputeth 
^righteousness  without  works, 

7  Saying,  ''"'Blessed  are  they 
whose  iniquities  are  ^forgiven, 
and  whose  sins  are  covered. 

8  ^■'"Blessed  is  the  man  to 
whom  the  Lord  *will  not  *im- 
pute  sin. 

9  Cometh  this  blessedness  then 
upon  the  "circumcision  only,  or 
upon  the  "uncircumcision  also? 
for  we  say  that  "faith  was  reck- 
oned to  '^A'bra-ham  for  'right- 
eousness. 

10  How  was  it  then  reckoned  ? 
when  he  was  in  ^circumcision,  or 
in  uncircumcision  ?  Not  in  cir- 
cumcision, but  in  uncircumci- 
sion. 

11  And  he  received  the  sign 
of  ^circumcision,  a  ^seal  of  the 
righteousness  of  the  "faith  which 
he  had  yet  being  uncircumcised : 
that  he  might  be  the  father  of  all 
them  that  "believe,  though  they 
be  not  circumcised;  that  'right- 
eousness might  be  ^imputed  un- 
to them  also: 

12  And  the  father  of  ^circum- 
cision  to  them  who  are  not  of  the 
circumcision  only,  but  who  also 
walk  in  the  steps  of  that  "faith  of 
our  father  "A'brS-ham,  which  he 
had  being  yet  uncircumcised. 

13  For  the  ^promise,  that  he 
should  be  the  heir  of  the  world, 
was  not  to  "A'brS,-ham,  or  to 
his  seed,  through  the  ''law,  but 
through  the  'righteousness  of 
"faith. 

14  For  if  they  which  are  of  the 
"■law  he  heirs,  *faith  is  made  void, 
and  the  'promise  made  of  none 
effect: 

15  Because  the  Haw  worketh 
wrath :  for  'where  no  law  is,  there 
is  no  transgression. 

16  Therefore  it  is  of  *faith,  that

it  might  be  by  "''grace;  to  tlie 
end  the  'promise  might  be  sure 
to  all  the  seed;  not  to  that  only 
which  is  of  the  ''law,  but  to 
that  also  which  is  of  the  *faith 
of  °A'bra.-ham;  who  is  the  father 
of  us  all, 

17  (As  it  is  written,  I  have  made 
thee  a  father  of  many  "nations,) 
before  him  whom  he  "believed, 
eve7i  God,  who  "'(|uickeneth  the 
dead,  and  callctii  tho.se  things 
which  be  not  as  though  they 
were. 

18  Who  against  *hope  "be- 
lieved in  hope,  that  he  might 
become  the  father  of  many 
"nations,  according  to  'that 
which  was  spoken,  So  shall  thy 
"seed  be. 

19  And  being  not  weak  in 
"faith,  he  considered  not  his  own 
body  now  dead,  when  he  was 
about  an  hundred  years  old,  nei- 
ther yet  the  ^deadness  of  Sa'- 
rah's  womb: 

20  He  staggered  not  at  the 
promise  of  God  through  ^unbe- 
lief; but  was  strong  in  "faith, 
"giving  glory  to  God; 

21  And  being  fully  persuaded 
that,  what  he  had  ^promised,  he 
was  '^able  also  to  perform. 

22  And  therefore  '^it  was  ''Im- 
puted to  him  for  *righteousnes.s. 

23  Now  it  was  not  written  for 


his  sake  alone,  that  'it  was  ^im- 
puted to  him; 

24  But  for  us  also,  to  whom  ''it 
shall  be  '^imputed,  if  we  ''believe 
on  ''him  that  "raised  up  Je'.sus 
our  Lord  from  the  dead; 

25  ''Who  was  *'^' ^delivered  'for 
our  offences,  and  was  ^■''raised 
again  for  our  ^justification.

The  fruits  of  justijlcation  by  faith:  Peace

throufth  one  tres-

ment came  unto 
all  men  to  con- 
demnation: even 
Ko  througli  one 
act  of  righteous- 
ness the  free  gift 


t    Law,  01  Moses, 
Deut.  33 :2. 


"deatli  by  sin;  and  so  ^■^death 
'■passed  upon  all  men,  for  that 
all  have  sinned: 

13  (For  until  the  *law  ^sin  was 
in  the  workl:  but  sin  is  not  im- 
puted when  there  is  no  law. 

14  Nevertheless  Meath  reigned 
from  'Ad'am  to  "]Mo'.se.s,  even 
over  them  that  had  not  sinned 
after  the  similitude  of  Ad'am's 
'^-'"transgression,  who  is  the  ^fig- 
ure of  him  that  was  to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  '''offence,  so 
also  is  the  free  gift.  For  if 
through  the  ^•'"oft'ence  of  one 
many  be  dead,  much  more  the 
""grace  of  God,  and  the  ^gift  by 
grace,  which  is  by  one  ^man, 
Je'-sus  Christ,  hath  abounded 
unto  many. 

16  And  not  as  it  was  by  "one 
that  ^sinned,  so  is  the  gift:  for 
the  judgment  was  by  one  to  con- 
demnation, but  the  free  -^gift  is 
of  many  offences  unto  ^justifica- 
tion. 

17  For  if  by  one  "man's  ''^•^of- 
fence  Meath  reigned  by  one; 
much  more  they  which  receive 
abundance  of  ''grace  and  of  the 
ffift  of  ''righteousness  shall  reign 
in  ^life  ^by  one  Je'.sus  Christ.) 

18  ^Therefore  as  by  the  ''offence 
of  one  judgment  came  upon  all 
men  to  condemnation;  even  so 
^by  the  righteousness  of  one  the 
free  ''gift  came  upon  all  men  imto 
^justification  of  ^life. 

19  For  as  by  one  man's  Mis- 
obedience  many  were  made  sin- 
ners, so  by  the  obedience  of  one 
shall  many  be  made  righteous. 

20  Moreover  the  Haw  entered, 
that  the  offence  might  abound. 


But  where  ^sin  abounded,  '^graee 
did  much  more  abound: 
21  That  as  ^sin  hath  reigned  un- 
to '^death,  even  so  might  ''grace 
reign  through  righteousness  un- 
to eternal  'Yde  "•  ''by  Je'sus  Christ

Rom.  4:16 


We  may  not  live  in  sin,  2  for  tve  are  dead 
unto  it.  1 2  Believers  exhorted  to  holiness. 
23  The  ivages  of  sin  is  death. 

WHAT  shall  we  say   then? 
Shall  we  continue  in  "sin, 
that  ''grace  may  abound  ? 

2  God  forbid.  How  shall  we, 
that  are  '^■''dead  to  sin,  live  any 
longer  "therein  ? 

3  Know  ye  not,  that  so  many 
of  us  as  were  'baptized  into 
Je'sus  Christ  were  baptized  into 
his  ''death? 

4  Therefore  we  are  '^buried  with 
him  by  'baptism  into  "death:  that 
like  as  Christ  was  'raised  up  from 
the  dead  by  the  glory  of  the  T^'a- 
ther,  even  so  we  also  should  walk 
in  ^''newness  of  '"life. 

5  For  if  we  have  'been  planted 
together  in  the  likeness  of  his 
Meath,  we  shall  be  also  ^in  the 
likeness  of  his  'resurrection : 

6  Knowing  this,  that  our  '^•"old 
man  is  ^crucified  with  him,  that 
the  body  of  '^sin  might  be  de- 
stroyed, that  henceforth  we 
should    'not    .serve    sin. 

7  For  he  that  ''is  ''dead  is  *freed 
from  sin. 

8  Now  if  we  ^be  '^dead  with 
Christ,  we  believe  that  we  shall 
also  ''live  with  him:

all  people  for  all  time,  with  the  sinfulness  of  sin.  In  order  to 
produce  thl3  efTccl  the  Mosaic  law  contained  numerous  types 
of  sin.  the  deslern  of  which  was  to  teacli  th.it  sin  Is  repuijnant 
to  (Jod.  and  that  It  separates  from  God  and  from  the  rlgrlU- 
eous.  Hence,  we  fmd  many  object  lessons  about  imcleanness 
and  defilement,  blemishes,  separation  from  the  contrrecratlnn. 
atonements  and  atonlne  sacrifices,  washincrs  and  purlflc.itlons; 
all  of  which  were  deslirncd  to  typify  the  sinfulness  of  sin 
and  the  necessity,  in  order  to  please  a  holy  .Jehovah,  that  sin 
must  be  pureed,  and  the  he;irt   purified. 1

'raised  from  the  "dead  dieth  no 
more;  death  hath  no  more  do- 
minion over  him. 

10  For  in  that  he  "died,  he  died 
unto  "sin  once:  but  in  that  he 
liveth,  he  liveth  unto  God. 

11  Likewise  reckon  ye  also 
yourselves  to  be  '^■Mead  indeed 
unto  ^sin,  but  'alive  unto  God 
through  Je'.sus  Christ  our  ''Lord. 

12  Let  not  ^sin  therefore  reign 
in  your  mortal  body,  that  ye 
should  obey  it  in  the  '^lusts 
thereof. 

13  Neither  yield  ye  your  mem- 
bers as  instruments  of  unright- 
eousness unto  "sin:  but  '"yield 
yourselves  unto  God,  as  those  that 
are  '"alive  from  the  Mead,  and 
your  members  as  instruments  of 
righteousness  unto  God. 

14  For  ''sin  shall  not  have 
dominion  over  you:  for  ye  are 
not  under  the  ^law,  but  under 
^grace. 

15  What  then  ?  shall  we  sin, 
because  we  are  not  under  the 
^law,  but  under  ^grace  ?  God 
forbid. 

16  Know  ye  not,  that  to  whom 
ye  yield  yourselves  servants  to 
obey,  his  ^servants  ye  are  to 
whom  ye  obey;  whether  of  ''sin 
unto  *'Meath,  or  of  obedience 
unto  '^righteousness  ? 

17  But  God  be  ^thanked,  that 
ye  were  the  servants  of  "sin,  but 
ye  have  ^obeyed  from  the  "heart 
that  form  of  ^-''doctrine  which 
was  delivered  you. 

IS  Being  then  made  *'%ee  from 
'^sin,  ye  became  the  servants  of 
^righteousness. 

19  I  speak  after  the  manner  of 
men  because  of  the  infirmity  of 
your  flesh :  for  as  ye  have  yielded 
your  members  servants  to  un- 
cleanness  and  to  iniquity  unto 
iniquity;  even  so  now  yield  your 
members  servants  to  *righteous- 
ne.ss  unto  ''•Hioliness. 

20  For  when  ye  were  the  serv- 


ants of  "sin,  ye  were  free  from 
righteousness. 

21  What  fruit  had  ye  then  in 
those  things  whereof  ye  are  now 
ashamed  ?  for  the  end  of  those 
things  is  *' '"death. 

22  But  now  being  made  *free 
from  "sin,  and  become  servants 
to  God,  "ye  have  your  fruit  unto 
^•^' "holiness,  and  the  end  ^ever- 
lasting 'life. 

23  For  the  ''wages  of  *sin  is 
'"death;  but  the  'gift  of  God  is 
^eternal  'life  ''-"through  Je'sus 
Christ  our  '"Lord. 

CHAPTER  7 

Believers  are  dead  to  the  taw  by  the  body  of 
Christ.  7  Conviction  of  sin  is  by  the  lauj. 
12  Tfie  law  is  holy.  14  The  conflict  be- 
tween the  laiv  in  the  members  and  the  law 
of  the  mind.  24  Deliverance  through 
Jesus  Christ. 

KNOW  ye  not,  brethren,  (for  I 
speak  to  them  that  know 
the  "law,)  how  that  the  law  hath 
dominion  over  a  man  as  long  as 
he  liveth  ? 

2  For  ''the  "woman  which  hath 
an  '^husband  is  bound  by  the 
"law  to  her  husband  so  long  as 
he  liveth;  but  if  the  husband  be 
dead,  ''she  is  loosed  from  the  law 
of  her  hu.sband. 

3  So  then  if,  while  her  hus- 
band liveth,  she  be  married  to 
another  man,  she  shall  be  called 
an  'adulteress:  but  if  her  hus- 
band be  dead,  ''she  is  free  from 
tliat  "law;  so  that  she  is  no  adul- 
teress, though  she  be  ''married 
to  another  man. 

4  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  ye 
also  are  become  ''dead  to  the  law 
by  the  body  of  Christ;  that  ye 
should  be  ^married  to  another, 
even  to  him  who  is  ^raised  from 
the  dead,  that  we  should  bring 
forth  ^fruit  unto  God. 

5  For  when  we  were  in  the 
'flesh,  the  ^motions  of  sins,  which 
were  by  the  law,  did  "'work  in 
our  members  to  bring  forth  fruit 
unto  "death. 

6  But  now  we  ^are  delivered

from  the  "law,  that  being  dead 
wherein  we  were  held;  that  we 
should  "serve  in  ^newness  of 
spirit,  and  not  in  the  oldness 
of  the  letter. 

7  What  shall  we  say  then?  Is 
the  law  sin  ?  God  forbid.  Nay,  I 
had  not  known  *sin,  but  by  the 
"law:  for  I  had  not  known  ^lust, 
except  the  law  had  said,  '^Thou 
shalt  not  *covet. 

8  But  ^sin,  taking  occasion  by 
the  commandment,  Avrought  in 
me  all  manner  of  ^concupis- 
cence. For  without  the  "law 
'sin  was  dead. 

9  For  I  was  alive  without  the 
law  once:  but  when  the  "com- 
mandment came,  *sin  revived, 
and  I  "died. 

10  And  the  commandment, 
wliich  was  ordained  to  Mife,  I 
found  to  he  unto  "death. 

11  For  ^sin,  taking  occasion 
by  the  commandment,  ^deceived 
me,  and  by  it  "slew  me. 

12  Wherefore  the  "law  is  holy, 
and  the  commandment  holy,  and 
just,  and  good. 

13  Was  then  that  which  is  good 
made  "death  unto  me  ?  God  for- 
bid. But  'sin,  that  it  might  ap- 
pear ^'sin,  working  death  in  me 
by  that  which  is  good;  that  'sin 
by  the  commandment  might  be- 
come exceeding  "sinful. 

14  For  we  know  that  the  "law  is 
spiritual:  but  I  am  ''carnal,  ""sold 
under  sin. 

15  For  nhat  which  I  do  I  ^al- 
low  not:  for  what  I  ^would,  that 
do  I  not;  but  what  I  "hate,  that 
do  I. 

IG  If  then  I  do  that  which  I 
^would  not,  I  consent  unto  the 
^law  that  it  is  good. 

17  Now  tlien  it  is  no  more  I 
that  do  it,  but  "sin  that  *dwelleth 
in  me. 

18  For  '^I  know  that  in  me  (that 
is,  in  my  flesh,)  *dwelleth  no  good 
thing:  for  to  '^will  is  present  with 


me;   but   how  to   perform   that 
which  is  good  I  find  not. 

19  For  the  good  that  I  "^would 
I  do  not:  but  the  *evil  which  I 
^vould  not,   that  I  do. 

20  Now  if  I  do  that  I  would  not, 
it  is  no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  "sin 
that  ''dwelleth  in  me. 

21 1  find  then  a  law,  that,  when 
I  '^would  do  good,  "evil  is  present 
®with  me. 

22  For  I  delight  in  the  ^law  of 
God  after  the  ''inward  man: 

23  But  I  see  ^another  law  in  my 
members,  warring  against  the 
law  of  my  ''mind,  and  bringing 
me  into  ^captivity  to  the  law  of 
"sin  which  is  in  my  members. 

24  O  wretched  man  that  I  am! 
who  shall  deliver  me  from  the 
"body  of  this  Meath  ? 

25  I  ^thank  God  ^-'"through 
Je'sus  "Christ  our  I/ord.  So  then 
^vith  the  ''mind  I  myself  serve 
the  law  of  God;  but  with  the 
flesh  the  law  of  "sin. 

CHAPTER  8 

The  security  of  believers:  They  are  free  from 
condemnation.  5  They  are  not  in  the 
flesh,  but  in  tlie  Spirit.  12  They  are 
children  of  God.  18  The  glory  to  be 
revealed  in  them.  26  The  Spirit  helps 
their  infirmities.  28  All  things  work  to- 
gether for  their  good.  ,32  God  gave  his 
Son  to  save  them.  35  Nothing  can  sep- 
arate them  from  his  love. 

^IIERE  is  tlicrefore  now 
"'  ''no  condemnation  to  "them 
which  are  ''in  Christ  Je'sus,hvho

''life  in  "Christ  Je'gus  ''hath  made 
me  "-'free  from  the  law  of 'sin  and 
^' 'death. 

3  For  what  the  '"'"law  could  not 
do,  in  that  it  was  weak  through 
the  flesh,  God  sending  his  own 
"Son  ^in  the  likeness  of  sinful 
flesh,  and  ^''for  sin,  condemned

8  So  then  ''they  that  are  in  the 
'^' ''flesh  cannot  please  God. 

9  But  ^ye  are  not  in  the  "flesh, 
but  in  the  ^Spirit,  if  so  be  that 
the  ^' ^Spirit  of  "God  Mwell  in 
you.  Now  if  any  man  have  not 
the  Spirit  of  "'^Christ,  he  is  none 
of  his. 

10  And  ^'if  ^Christ  be  in  you, 
the  body  is  '"^dead  because  of  sin ; 
but  the  ^Spirit  is  'life  because  of 
righteousness. 

11  But  if  the  '-"Spirit  of  "•'"him 
that  "raised  up  "Je'.sus  from  the 
dead  ''dwell  in  you,  he  that 
raised  up  '■'^Chrlst  from  the  dead 
shall  also  "quicken  your  mortal 
bodies  by  his  Spirit  that  dwelleth 
in  you. 

12  Therefore,  brethren,  we  are 
debtors,  not  to  the  '^flesh,  to  live 
after  the  flesh. 

13  For  if  ye  live  after  the  "flesh, 
ye  ^shall  *'die:  but  if  ye  through 
the  ^Spirit  do  mortify  the  Meeds 
of  the  body,  ye  shall  ''live. 

14  For  as  many  as  are  led  by 
the  'Spirit  of  God,  *they  are  the 
sons  of  God. 

15  For  ye  have  not  received  the 
spirit  of  bondage  again  to  'fear;

but  "ye  have  received  the  ^Spirit 
of  *adoption,  whereby  we  cry, 
Ab'ba,  ^Father. 

16  The  'Spirit  ^itself  «'•  ^beareth 
witness  with  our  spirit,  that  we 
*are  the  children  of  God: 

17  And  if  *children,  then  %eirs; 
heirs  of  God,  and  ^'oint-heirs 
with  Christ;  "•''if  so  be  that  we 
■^sufl^er  with  him,  that  we  may  be 
also  '^glorified  together. 

18  For  'I  reckon  that  the  'suf- 
ferings of  this  present  time  are 
not  worthy  to  be  compared  with 
the  glory  which  shall  be  revealed 
^°in  us. 

19  For  the  earnest  expectation 
of  the  "creature  waiteth  for  the 
manifestation  of  the  sons  of  God. 

20  For  the  '^creature  was  made 
subject  to  vanity,  not  willingly, 
but  by  reason  of  him  who  hath 
subjected  the  same  in  hope, 

21  Because  the  ^^creature  itself 
also  ohall  be  delivered  from  the 
bondage  of  "corruption  into  the 
^^glorious  ''liberty  of  the  *chil- 
dren  of  God. 

22  For  we  know  that  the  whole 
creation  groaneth  and  travaileth 
in  pain  together  until  now. 

23  And  not  only  they,  but  our- 
selves also,  which  have  the  *first- 
fruits  of  the  Spirit,  even  we  our- 
selves groan  within  ourselves, 
waiting  for  the  adoption,  to  wit, 
the  redemption  of  our  body. 

24  For  we  "are  saved  by  'hope : 
but  hope  that  is  seen  is  not  hope: 
for  what  a  man  seeth,  why  doth 
he  yet  hope  for  ? 

25  But  if  we  hope  for  that  wc 
see  not,  tJien  do  we  with  *^pa- 
tience  wait  for  it. 

26  Likewise  the  'Spirit  also 
helpeth  our  infirmities:  for  we 
'"know  not  what  we  should  "pray 
for  as  we  ought:  but  the  Spirit

thy  seed  be  called. 

8  That  is,  They  which  are  the 
'children  of  the  flesh,  these  are 
not  the  "•^'children  of  God:  but 
the  "children  of  the  "'promise  are 
"counted  for  the  seed.

any  good  or  evil,  that  the  "pur-

neth,  but  of  ^God  that  sheweth 
"^mercy. 

17  For  the  'scripture  saith  unto 
Tha'raoh,  *Even  for  this  same 
''purpose  have  I  raised  thee  up, 
that  I  might  shew  my  'power  in 
thee,  and  "that  my  name  might 
be  declared  throughout  all  the 
earth. 

18  Therefore  hath  he  "mercy 
on  whom  he  will  have  mercy,  and 
whom  he  will  he  hardeneth. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then  unto  me. 
Why  doth  he  yet  find  fault  ?  For 
who  hath  resisted  ^his  ""will  ? 

20  Nay  but,  O  ^man,  who  art 
thou  that^'^repHest  against  God? 
'^' ''Shall  the  thing  formed  say 
to  him  that  formed  it,  Wliy  hast 
thou  made  me  thus  ? 

21  Hath  not  the  ''potter  ^power 
over  the  ''•^clay,  of  the  same 
lump  to  make  one  vessel  unto 
honour,  and  another  unto  dis- 
honour ? 

22  What  if  God,  willing  to  shew 
his  ^wrath,  and  to  make  his 
"power  known,  endured  with 
much  ''longsuffering  the  ^vessels 
of  wrath  'fitted  to  Mestruction: 

23  And  that  he  might  make 
known  the  ''"'riches  of  his  glory 
on  the  "vessels  of  mercy,  which 
he  had  afore  'prepared  unto 
glory, 

24  Even  us,  whom  he  hath 
"called,  not  of  the  ''Jews  only, 
but  also  of  the  'Gen'tlles  ? 

25  As  he  saith  also  in  O'see,  ''I 
will  call  them  *iny  people,  which 
were  not  my  people ;  and  her  be- 
loved, which  was  not  beloved. 

26  'And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  in  the  place  where  it  was 
said  unto  them,  Ye  are  not  my 
people;  there  shall  they  be  calletl 
''the^'^children  of  the  living  God. 

27  "]5-§a'ias  also  crieth  con- 
cerning Is'ra-el,  ^Though  the 
number  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el  be  as  the  sand  of  the  sea, 
^a  remnant  shall  be  saved:

lowed not  after  righteousness, 
have  attained  to  *■ '^righteous- 
ness, even  the  *■ '^righteousness

31  But  Is'ra-el,  ^ which  followed 
after  the  ''law  of  righteousness, 
hath  not  attained  to  the  law  of 
''■'^righteousness. 

32  Wherefore  ?  Because  they 
.nought  it  not  by  '^faith,  but  as  it 
were  ^by  the  ''works  of  the  ''law. 
For  they  "•''''stumbled  at  that 
stumblingstone; 

33  As  it  is  ^written,  '^Behold,  I 
lay  in  ^Si'on  a  "stumblingstone 
and  rock  of  offence:  and  whoso- 
ever '^believeth  on  him  '"shall  not

CHAPTER  10 

Paul's  desire  for  the  salvation  of  Israel.  2 
The  dilfcrence  between  tlw  righteousness 
of  the  law  and  that  of  faith.  11  All,  both 
Jew  and  Gentile,  who  believe  shall  be 
saved.  19  Israel  not  ignorant  of  tlicse 
things. 

BRETHREN,  '^my  heart's  de- 
sire and  ''prayer  to  God  ^for 
Is'ra-el  is,  that  they  might  be 
''saved. 

2  For  I  bear  them  record  that 
they  have  a  '*zeal  of  God,  but  not 
according  to  knowledge. 

3  For  they  being  "ignorant 
of  God's  ''"righteousness,  and 
going  abcHit  to  establish  their 
own  '^righteousness,  have  not 
submitted  tliemselves  unto  tlie 
'righteousness  of  God. 

4  For  Christ  is  the  'end  of  tlie 

3  e  Splritwil  islindness,  2  for.  4:4.  /  God,  righ>eomne.is  of,  (W.n.

5  For  Mouses  ^describeth  the 
righteousness  which  is  of  the 
"law,  That  the  man  which  "do- 
etli  those  things  shall  live  by 
them. 

6  But  the  'righteousness  which 
is  of  "'faith  speaketh  on  this  wise. 
Say  not  in  thine  heart,  ^Who 
shall  ascend  into  heaven?  (that 
is,  to  bring  Christ  down  '*from, 
above :) 

7  Or,  ^Who  shall  descend  into 
the  Meep?  (that  is,  to  bring  up 
Christ  again  from  the  dead.) 

8  But  what  saith  it?  ^'The 
^word  is  nigh  thee,  even  in  thy 
mouth,  and  in  thy  heart:  that  is, 
the  word  of  '"faith,  which  we 
preach ; 

9  That  if  thou  shalt  ''•'confess 
with  thy  mouth  "the  'Lord  ''Je'- 
sus,  and  shalt  '"believe  in  thine 
heart  that  God  hath  ^raised  him 
from  the  dead,  thou  '"shalt  be 
^saved. 

10  For  with  the  %eart  man 
"'believeth  unto  'righteousness ; 
and  with  the  mouth  'confession 
is  made  unto  ^salvation. 

11  For  the  ^scripture  saith, 
Whosoever  "believeth  on  ''him 
shall  not  be  '^ashamed. 

12  For  there  is  "no  ^difference 
between  the  Jew  and  the  Greek : 
for  the  same  ''Lord  over  all  is 
''rich  unto  ''all  that  "call  upon 
him. 

13  For  ''whosoever  shall  "call 
upon  the  name  of  the  Lord  sliall 
be  *saved. 

14  How  then  shall  they  call  on 
him  in  whom  they  have  not  be- 
lieved ?  and  how  shall  they  be- 
lieve in  him  of  wliom  tliey  have 
not  heard  ?  and  how  sliall  they 
hear  without  a  'preacher  ? 

15  And  how  shall  they  preach,

CHAPTER  11 

God  has  not  cast  off  all  Israel.  5  There  is  a 
remnant  according  to  Vie  election  of  grace, 
and  the  rest  are  Winded.  11  Through 
their  fall  salvation  is  come  unto  the  Gen- 
tiles. 12  If  the  fall  of  them  be  the  riclies 
of  the  world,  how  much  more  their  fullness. 
24  They  will  be  restored.  33  God's  judg- 
ments are  unsearchable. 

"T  SAY  then,  Hath  God  cast 
-L  away  his  people?  God  for- 
bid. For  I  also  am  an  Is'ra-el- 
Ite,  of  the  seed  of  *A'bra-ham,  of 
the  tribe  of  '^Bcn'ja-mTn. 

2  God  hath  not  cast  away  his 
people  which  he  '^foreknew. 
^Wot  ye  not  what  the  ^scripture 
saith  of  ''E-ll'as  ?  how  he  ^mak- 
eth  intercession  to  God  against 
Is'ra-el,  saying, 

3  "Lord,  they  have  '*• 'killed  thy 


^prophets,  and  digged  down 
thine  altars;  and  I  am  left  alone, 
and  they  seek  my  life.

God  unto  him  ?  ^I  have  're- 
served to  myself  seven  thousand 
men,  who  have  '"not  bowed  the 
knee  to  HJie  image  of  Ba'al. 

5  Even  so  then  at  this  pres- 
ent time  also  there  is  a  remnant 
according  to  the  *• 'election  of 
"grace. 

6  And  if  by  "grace,  then  is  it  no 
more  of  "works:  otherwise  grace 
is  no  more  grace.  ^But  if  it  be 
of  works,  then  is  it  no  more 
grace :  otherwise  work  is  no  more 
work. 

7  What  then?  ^Is^ra-el  hath 
not  obtained  that  which  he  seek- 
eth  for;  but  the  *election  hath 
obtained  it,  and  the  *rest  were 
^''"•"blinded 

8  (x\ccording  as  it  is  written, 
God  hath  given  them  the  spirit 
of  ®' 'slumber,  eyes  that  they 
should  '^not  see,  and  ears  that 
they  should  'not  hear;)  unto  this 
day. 

9  And  "Da'vid  saith,  "■"'Let 
their  table  be  made  a  snare, 
and  a  trap,  and  a  stumbling- 
block,  and  a  recompence  unto 
them : 

10  Let  their  eyes  be  ''•Mark- 
ened,  that  they  may  not  see,  and 
bow  down  their  back  alway. 

Ill  say  then.  Have  they  stum- 
bled that  they  should  fall  ?  God 
forbid:  but  ratlier  through  their 
fall  ^salvation  is  come  unto  the 
^Gcn'tlle.s,  for  to  provoke  them 
to  ^jealousy. 

12  Now  if  the  fall  of  them  be 
the  riches  of  the  world,  and  ^the 
diminishing  of  them  the  riches 
of  the  ^Gen'tiles ;  how  much  more 
their  fulness  ? 

13  For"!  speak  toyouGen'tile.s, 
inasmuch  as  I  am  the  ''•'^apostle

which  are  my  flesh,  and  might

15  For  if  the  casting  away  of

1(3  For  if  tlie  ^firstfruit  be  "holy,

19  'Thou  wilt  "'say  then.  The 
''•'branches  were  broken  ofi',  that 
I  might  be  ''graff"ed  in. 

20  Well;  because  of  "unbe- 
lief *they  were  broken  off,  and 
'thou  standest  by  ^faith.  Be  not 
'"highminded,  but  ^fear: 

21  For  if  God  spared  not  the 
natural  "-^branches,  ^Halce  heed 
lest  he  also  .spare  not  'thee. 

22  Behold  therefore  the  ''good- 
ness and  ^severity  of  God:  on 
'them  which  fell,  severity;  but 
toward  thee,  "goodness,  if  'thou 
'continue  in  //?'.s'  goodness:  other- 
wise thou  also  shalt  be  "cut  off. 

23  And  *they  also,  if  they  ^abide 
not  still  in  unbelief,  shall  be 
''grafted  in:  for  God  is  able  to 
"graff  them  in  again. 

24  For  if  'thou  wert  cut  out  of 
the  *oliye  tree  which  is  wild  by 
nature,  and  wert  ''graffed  con-

tree:  how  much  more  shall  these, 
which  be  the  natural  ''■^branches, 


be  '^grafted  into  their  own  olive 
tree? 

25  For  I  would  not,  brethren, 
that  ye  should  be  ""ignorant  of 
this  mystery,  lest  ye  should  be 
wise  in  your  own  ""conceits;  that 
"^blindness  in  part  is  happened 
to  *Is'ra-el,  until  the  fulness  of 
the  'Gen'tlles  be  come  in. 

26  And  so  all  'Is'ra-el  shall  be 
saved:  as  it  is  written,  ^^-^There 
shall  come  out  of  "Si'on  the  "De-

27  For  this  is  my  ''covenant 
unto  'them,  when  I  shall  ^take 
away  their  sins. 

28  As  concerning  the  "gospel, 
'^fhey  are  enemies  for  ''your  sakes : 
but  as  touching  the  *election, 
they  are  ^beloved  'for  the  fa- 
thers' sakes. 

29  For  the  *gifts  and  'calling  of 
'"God  are  '"without  repentance. 

30  For  as  ''ye  in  times  past  ^^have 
"not  believed  God,  yet  have  now 
obtained  "mercy  through  ''their

31  Even  so  have  these  also  now 
'^■"not  believed,  that  through 
''your  mercy  'they  also  may  ob- 
tain "mercy. 

32  For  God  hath  '"concluded 
them  %11  in  "unl)elief,  that  he 
might  have  "mercy  upon  all.

are  his  judgments,  and  his  ways

to  thee  for  good.  But  if  'thou 
do  that  which  is  evil,  be  afraid;

also  for  ^conscience  sake.

that  loveth  ^another  hath  ful-

own  master  he  standeth  or  fall- 
eth.  Yea,  he  shall  be  holden  up: 
for  God  is  able  to  make  him 
stand. 

5  One  man  esteemeth  one  day 
above  another:  another  esteem- 
eth every  day  alike.  Let  every 
man  be  fully  persuaded  in  his 
own  mind. 

6  He  that  regardeth  the  day, 
regardeth  it  unto  the  Lord;  and 
■*he  that  regardeth  not  the  day,

14  I  know,  and  am  persuaded 
by  the  *Lord  Je^sus,  that  there  is 
nothing  unclean  of  itself:  but  to 
him  that  esteemeth  any  thing 
to  be  unclean,  to  him  it  is  un-

CHAPTER  15 

The  strong  must  bear  with  the  weak:  we  may 
not  please  ourselves,  for  so  did  not  Christ. 
7  We  must  receive  one  another,  as  Christ 
rrcfirt'd  us.  both  Jews  and  Gentiles.  15 
Paul  crcuses  his  manner  of  writing,  28 
and  promises  to  see  them,  30  and  requests 
their  prayers. 


w 


then    that    are    '^strong 
^•'^ought  to '^•«'^' ''bear  the 
infirmities    of    the    ''weak,    and 
'••'•''not  to  'please  ourselves. 

2  *Let  every  one  of  us  please  his 
"'neighbour  for  ^his  good  to  "ed- 
ification. 

3  For  even  Christ  "pleased  not 
himself;  but,  as  it  is  ^written, 
*The  reproaches  of  them  that 
reproached  thee  fell  on  me. 

4  For  whatsoever  things  were 
written  aforetime  were  written 
for  our  "learning,  that  we  through 
"■patience  and  ^comfort  of  the 
''scriptures  might  have  'hoj)e.

6  That  ye  may  with  '"one  mind

7  Wherefore  ''•'^receive  ye  one

us  to  the  glory  of  God. 

8  ^Now  I  say  that  Je'.sus  Christ 
was  a  minister  of  the  ''circumci-

firm the  ''promises  made  unto  tlie 
fathers : 

9  And  that  the  ''Gen'tlles  might 
^glorify  God  for  his  ^'^'mercy;  as 
it  is  written,  ''■'For  this  cause  1 
will  confess  to  thee  among  the 
Gen'tlles,  and  sing  unto  thy 
name. 

10  And  again  he  saith,  '"-"Re- 
joice, ye  Gen'tlle.s,  with  his  peo- 
ple. 

11  And  again,  "'Traise  the 
Lord,  all  ye  Gcn'tile.s;  and  •''laud

12  And  again,  ^E-sa'ias  saith, 
'''^There  shall  be  a  'root  of  Jes'se, 
and  he  that  shall  rise  to  reign 
over  the  Gen'tlles;  in  him  shall 
the  '^Gen'tlles  "•"trust. 

13  "Now  the  God  of  "hope  fill 
you  with  all  "'""joy  and  "'•^peace 
in  ^believing,  that  ye  may 
abound  in  hope,  through  the 
power  of  the  ^Holy  Ghost. 

14  And  "I  myself  also  am  per- 
suaded of  you,  my  brethren,  that 
ye  also  are  ''full  of  goodness, 
"filled  with  all  ''knowledge,  "able 
also  to  admonish  one  another.

17  I  have  therefore  ^whereof  I 
may  glory  through  Je'.sus  ''Christ 
in  those  things  which  pertain  to 
God. 

18  For  "•''I  will  not  dare  to 
speak  of  any  ''of  those  ^'things 
which  ^Christ  hath  not  wrought 


by 


me, 


^to    make    the   "Gen'- 


tlles    obedient,     by    word    and 
deed, 

19  Through  mighty  ^signs  and 
wonders,  by  the  power  of  tlie 
^"•'Spirit  of  God;  so  that  from 
'Je-rii'sa-lem,  and  round  about 
unto  '"Il-lyr'i-cum,  ""^I  have 
fully  "preached  the  ''gospel  of 
^Christ. 

20  Yea,  "so  have  I  strived  to 
"^preach  the  ''gospel,  not  where 
^Christ  was  named,  lest  I  should 
build  upon  another  man's  foun- 
dation : 

21  But  as  it  is  "written,  P'«To 
whom  he  was  not  spoken  of, ''they 
shall  see:  and  they  that  have  not 
heard  shall  understand. 

22  For  which  cause  also  I  have 
been  much  hindered  from  com- 
ing to  you. 

23  But  now  having  no  more 


place  in  these  parts,  and  '^having 
a  great  desire  these  many  years 
to  come  unto  you; 

24  ^Yhensoeve^  I  take  my  jour- 
ney into  Spain,  I  will  come  to 
you:  for  I  trust  to  see  you  in  my 
journey,  and  to  be  brought  on 
my  way  thitherward  by  you,  if 
first  I  be  somewhat  filled  with 
your   'compani/. 

25  But  now  I  go  unto  'Jc-ru'- 
sa-lem  to  minister  unto  the 
saints. 

26  For  it  hath  pleased  them  of 
'Ma9-e-dr/ni-a  and  "A-cha'ia  to 
^'make  a  certain  ""contribution 
for  the  •'^poor  saints  which  are  at 
^Je-ru'sa-lem. 

27  It  hath  pleased  them  ver- 
ily; and  their  debtors  they  are. 
For  if  the  ^Gen'tlle.s  have  been 
made  partakers  of  their  spiritual 
things,  ^their  duty  is  also  'to 
minister  unto  them  in  carnal 
things. 

28  When  therefore  I  have  per- 
formed this,  and  have  sealed  to 
them  this  fruit,  I  will  come  by 
you  into  Spain.

sliip  of  his  ^Son  Je'.^us  Christ  our 
"Lord. 

10  Now  *I  beseech  you,  breth- 
ren, by  the  '^name  of  our  "Lord 
Je'sus  Christ,  that  ye  all  speak 
the  same  thing,  and  that  there  be 
''•*no  divisions  among  you;  but 
that  ye  be  ^perfectly  *joined  to- 
gether in  the  same  mind  and  in 
the  same  judgment. 

11  For  it  hath  been  dechired 
unto  me  of  you,  my  brethren,  by 
them  which  are  of  the  house  of 
Chlo'e,  that  there  are  '■  "conten- 
tions among  you. 

12  Now  this  ''I  say,  that  every 
one  of  *you  saith,  I  am  of  Paul; 
and  I  of  ^\-pol'los;  and  I  of 
H'e'phas;  and  I  of  Christ. 

13  ^'Is  Christ  divided  ?  was 
Paul  'crucified  for  you  ?  or  were 
ye  '"baptized  in  the  name  of 
Paul  ? 

14  I  thank  God  that  I  '"bap- 
tized none  of  you,  but  "CrTs'pus 
and  "Ga'ius; 

15  Lest  any  should  say  that 
I  had  '"baptized  in  mine  own 
name. 

16  And  I  '"baptized  also  the 
"household  of  'Ste{)h'a-nas:  be- 
sides, I  know  not  whether  I  bap- 
tized any  other. 

17  For  Christ  sent  me  not  to 
baptize,  but  to  ''-^p reach  the 
'•"gospel:  not  with  '^■'"wisdom  of 
words,  lest  the  ^-^'^cross  of 
Christ  should  be  ^made  of  none 
effect. 

18  For  the  ''preaching  of  the 
"'  ^cross  is  to  "them  that  ^perish 
foolishness;  but  unto  us  which 
are  '^•'^saved  it  is  the  ^power  of 
God.

perishing  fooUshness;  but  unto  us  which  are  being  saved 


19  For  it  is  written,  'I  will 
destroy  the  ^'wisdom  of  the 
wise,  and  %ill  bring  to  noth- 
ing the  understanding  of  the 
prudent. 

20  Where  i,s  the  ''wise  ?  where  is 
the  ''scribe  ?  where  is  the  *dis- 
puter  of  this  world  ?  hath  not 
God  made  foolish  the  "wisdom 
of  this  world  ? 

21  For  after  that  in  the  ^wisdom 
of  God  the  world  ^by  "wisdom 
*knew  not  God,  it  pleased  God 
by  the  foolishness  of  ^preaching 
to  'save  them  that  '"believe. 

22  For  the  "Jews  require  a 
"sign,  and  the  ^Greeks  seek  after 
"wisdom : 

23  But  ^we  preach  Christ 
''•'crucified,  unto  the  'Jew.s  a 
"stumblingblock,  and  unto  ''the 
'Greeks  foolishness; 

24  But  unto  them  which  are 
"called,  both  Jew.s  and  Greeks, 
Christ  the  ^power  of  God,  and 
the  'wisdom  of  God. 

25  Because  the  foolishness  of 
God  is  wiser  than  men;  and  the 
weakness  of  God  is  stronger  than 
men. 

26  For  ye  see  your  "calling, 
brethren,  how  that  not  many 
"wise  men  after  the  flesh,  not 
many  mighty,  not  many  noble, 
are  called: 

27  But  God  hatli  "'chosen  the 
foolish  things  of  the  world  '"•^to 
confound  the  wise;  and  God 
hath  chosen  the  weak  things  of 
the  world  ^to  confound  the 
things  which  are  mighty; 

28  And  base  things  of  the  world, 
and  things  which  are  despised, 
hath  God  "'chosen,  yea,  and 
things  which  are  not,  to  bring  to 
nought  things  that  are:

ND    °I,    brethren,    when    I 

came   to  you,   came    *not 

with  excellency  of  speech  or  of 

'^•''' '^wisdom,  declaring  unto  you 

the  'testimony  of  God. 

2  For  '^•"I  determined  ''-'not  to 
know  any  thing  among  you,  save 
Jc'.sus  ^Christ,  and  him  *''cru- 
cified. 

3  And  *I  was  with  you  in  weak- 
ness, and  in  fear,  and  in  much 
trembling. 

4  And  my  speech  and  my 
^preaching ^»'a5  not  with  enticing 
words  of  man's  '^•'*' wisdom,  but 
in  demonstration  of  the  '"Spirit 
and  of  power: 

5  Ihat  your  "faith  should  not 
stand  in  the  '^•'^' Visdom  of  men, 
but  in  tiie  "power  of  God. 

G  Howbeit  we  speak  ^wisdom 
among  them  that  are  perfect: 
yet  not  the '^wisdom  of  this  world, 
nor  of  the  ^princes  of  this  world, 
that  come  to  nought: 

7  But  we  speak  the  wisdom  of 
''God  in  a  '•''■^mystery,  even  the 
hidden  wisdom.,  which  (iod  ^''or- 
dained befcre  the  world  unto 
our  glory: 

8  ^Vllich  "none  of  the  princes 
of  this  world  ''knew:  for  had 
they  known  it,  they  would  not 
have  "  "'■  ^crucified  the  ^Lord  of

9  But  as  it  is  written,  •'•^Eye 
iiath  not  seen,  nor  ear  heard,  nei- 
ther have  entered  into  tlie  heart 
of  man,  the  "things  which  *God 
''hath  prepared  for  ''them  that 
'love  him. 

10  But  God  hath  revealed  tlicm 
unto  us  by  his  'Spirit:  for  the 
Spirit  searcheth  all  things,  yea, 
the  ^deep  things  of  God. 

11  For  what  man  knoweth  the 
things  of  a  man,  save  the  ''si)irit 
of  man  which  is  in  him  ?  even  so 
the  things  of  "God  knoweth  no 
man,  but  the  'Spirit  of  God. 

12  Now  Sve  have  received,  not 
the  spirit  of  the  world,  but  the 
'spirit  which  is  of  God;  that  we 
miglit  know  the  ^'things  that  are 
freely  given  to  us  of  God. 

13  Which  things  also  we  speak, 
not  in  the  words  which  man's 
'wisdom  teacheth,  but  which  the 
^■'Holy  Ghost  teacheth;  compar- 
ingspiritual  things  with  spiritual. 

14  But  the  natural  man  '"re- 
ceiveth  not  the  things  of  the 
'Spirit  of  God :  for  they  are  fool- 
ishness unto  "^him:  "neither  can 
he  know  the7n,  because  they  are 
spiritually  discerned. 

15  But  he  that  is  spiritual  judg- 
eth  all  things,  yet  he  himself  is 
judged  of  no  man. 

16  ^For  who  hath  known  the 
mind  of  the  «Lord,  that  he  may 
instruct  him  ?  But  we  have  the 
mind  of  Christ,

CHAPTER  5 

The  immoralities  in  the  Corinthian  Church. 
5  The  discipline  of  erring  members.  9 
Admonitions  against  evil  company. 

IT  is  reported  commonly  that 
there  is  "fornication  amono; 
*you,  and  such  fornication  as  is 
not  so  much  as  named  among 
the  '^Gen'tile.s,  that  '^one  should 
'^have  his  father's  wife. 

2  And  ye  are  ^puffed  up,  and 
have  not  rather  mourned,  that 
''he  that  hath  done  this  "'^deed 
might  be  "-''taken  away  from 
among   you. 

3  For  I  verily,  as  absent  in 
body,  but  present  in  spirit,  have 
judged  already,  as  though  I  were 
present,  concerning  ''him  that 
hath  so  done  this  '^'Meed, 

4  In  the  'name  of  our  Lord  Je'- 
.sus  ^Christ,  when  ye  are  gath- 
ered together,  and  my  spirit, 
with  the  power  of  our  Lord 
Je'sus  ^Christ, 

5  '-^^To  deliver  such  an  one  un- 
to 'Sa'tan  for  the  destruction  of 
the  flesh,  that  the  spirit  may  be 
'"saved  in  the  "day  of  the  "Lord 
Je'.sus. 

6  Your  ^glorying  is  not  good. 
Know  ye  not  that  a  little 
'-'■'^leaven  leaveneth  the  whole 
lumj)  ? 

7  '"'"Purge  out  therefore  the 
old  ^leaven,  that  ye  may  be  a 
new  lump,  as  ye  are  unleavened. 
For  even  Christ  our  "'•  ^passover 
is  ^sacrificed  ^for  us: 

8  Therefore  let  us  keep  the 
feast,  not  with  "old  *leaven,  nei- 
ther with  the  leaven  of  '^malice 
and    wickedness;   but  with    the 


unleavened  bread  of   *sincerity 
and  truth. 

9  I  wrote  unto  you  in  ^an  ej>is- 
tle  ''•^not  to  ''company  with  "for- 
nicators: 

10  '''''Yet  not  altogether  with 
the  ^'"fornicators  of  this  world, 
or  with  the  ''covetous,  or  'ex- 
tortioners, or  with  'idolaters;  for 
then  must  ye  needs  go  out  of 
the  world. 

11  But  now  I  have  ''written 
unto  you  '^-''^'not  to  keep  com- 
pany, if  any  man  that  is  called 
a  brother  be  a  "fornicator,  or 
''covetous,  or  an  'idolater,  or  a 
^-'railer,  or  a  "'drunkard,  or  an 
'extortioner;  with  such  an  one 
no  not  to  eat. 

12  P'or  what  have  I  to  do  to 
judge  them  also  that  are  with- 
out ?  do  not  ye  judge  them  that 
are  within  ? 

13  But  them  that  are  without 
God  "judgeth.  Therefore  "put 
away  from  among  yourselves 
that   wicked   person. 

CHAPTER  6 

Tlw  apostle  reproves  them  for  going  to  law 
with  each  other  before  unbelievers,  8  and 
for  defrauding  one  anotlier.  12  All 
things  are  not  expedient.  15  Their  bodies 
are  the  members  of  Christ,  19  and  temples 
of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

DARE  any  of  you,  having  a 
matter  against  Smother, 
"go  to  law  before  the  unjust,  and 
not  before  the  saints  ? 

2  Do  ye  not  know  that  the 
saints  shall  "judge  the  world  ? 
and  if  the  world  shall  be  judged 
by  you,  are  ye  unworthy  to  judge 
the  smallest  matters  ? 

3  Know  ye  not  that  we  shall 
judge  ''angels  ?  hov/  much  more 
tilings  that  pertain  to  this 
life? 

4  If  then  ye  have  ^judgments  of 
tilings  pertaining  to  this  life,  set

CHAPTER  7 

The  apostle  treats  of  marriage  and  its  duties. 
10  The  believing  partner  is  not  to  forsake 
tlie  unbelieinng.  17  Every  vian  must  be 
content  with  the  lot  to  which  God  has  called 
him. 

NOW  concerning  the  things 
whereof  "ye  ''wrote  Hinto 
me:  It  is  good  for  a  man  ^•'^not 
to  touch  a  woman. 

2  "Nevertheless,  to  avoid  ''for- 
nication, ''let  every  man  have  his 
own  ''wife,  and  let  every  woman 
have  her  own  ''husband. 

3  liCt  the  ^husband  render  unto 
the  ''wife  ^due  benevolence:  and 
likewise  also  the  wife  unto  the 
husband. 

4  The  "wife  hath  not  power  *of 
her  own  body,  but  the  ''husband: 
and  likewise  also  the  husband 
hath  not  power  "'of  his  own  body, 
but  the  wife. 

5  Defraud  ye  not  one  the  other, 
except  it  be  with  consent  for  a 
time,  that  ye  may  give  yourselves 
to  ^'^fasting  and  Sprayer;  and 
come  together  again,  that  '^Sa'- 
tan  'tempt  you  not  for  your  in- 
continency. 

6  But  I  speak  tliis  by  permis- 
sion, and  not  of  commandment. 

7  For  "-"l  would  that  all  men 
were  even  '"-"^as  I  myself.  But 
every  man  hath  his  ''proper  gift 
of  God,  one  after  this  manner, 
and  another  after  that. 

8  I  say  theref(ire  to  the  unmar- 
ried and  "widows,  ''It  is  good  for 
them  if  they  abide  even  '"•"^as  I. 

9  But  if  they  ^cannot  contain, 
let  them  marry:  for  it  is  better  to 
marry  than  to  burn. 

10  And   unto    the   married    I 


command,  yet  not  I,  ^but  the 
Lord,  ''Let  not  the  "wife  ^depart 
from  her  ''husband: 

11  But  and  if  "she  Mepart,  let 
her  remain  unmarried,  or  be  rec- 
onciled to  her  ''husband:  and  let 
not  tiie  husband  ^'^put  away  his 
wife. 

12  But  to  the  rest  speak  I,  not 
the  Lord :  If  any  ^brother  hath  a 
"wife  that  "believeth  not,  and  she 
be  pleased  to  dwell  with  him,  let 
him  not  "-^put  her  away. 

13  And  the  woman  which  hath 
an  ''husband  that  "believeth  not, 
and  if  he  be  pleased  to  dwell  with 
her,  let  her  not  leave  him. 

14  For  the  "unbelieving  ''hus- 
band is  ^sanctified  by  the  "wife, 
and  the  unbelieving  wife  is  sanc- 
tified by  the '"husband:  else  were 
your  chililren  unclean;  but  now 
are  "they  holy. 

15  But  if  the  "unbelieving  de- 
part, let  him  Mepart.  A  brother 
or  a  sister  is  not  under  bond- 
age in  such  cases:  but  God  hath 
called  us  "to  '"peace. 

IG  For  what  knowest  thou,  O 
"wife,  whether  thou  shalt  *save 
thy  ''husband  ?  or  how  knowest 
thou,  O  man,  whether  thou  shalt 
save  thy  wife  ? 

17  But  as  God  hath  distributed 
to  every  man,  as  the  Lord  hath 
■^called  every  one,  ^so  let  him 
walk.  And  so  ordain  I  in  all 
^churches. 

18  *Is  any  man  called  being'^cir- 
cumcised  ?  let  him  not  become 
uncirciuncised.  Is  any  called  in 
uncircumcision  ?  let  him  not  be 
circumci.sed.

19  "Circumcision  is  nothin";, 
and  iincircumcision  is  nothino;, 
hut  the  keeping  of  the  com- 
mandinents  of  God. 

20  ''Let  every  man  abide  in 
the  same  calling  wherein  he  was 
^called. 

21  Art  thou  "^called  being  a 
^-.servant  ?  ''care  not  for  it:  but 
if  ''thou  '^niayest  be  made  free, 
use  it  rather. 

22  For  he  that  is  ''called  in  the 
Lord,  being  a  '^^servant,  is  ''the 
Lord's  "freeman:  likewise  also 
he  that  is  called,  being  free,  is 
''Christ's  '^-''servant. 

23  Ye  are  ^bought  with  a  ^'price; 
"be  not  ye  the  servants  of  men. 

24  Brethren,  let  every  man, 
wherein  he  is  ''called,  ''therein 
abide  with  God. 

25  Now  concerning  ''virgins  I 
have  no  commandment  of  the 
Lord:  yet  I  give  my  judgment, 
as  one  that  hath  obtained  mercy 
of  the  'Lord  to  be  '^•'"faithful. 

26  I  '^'suppose  therefore  that 
this  is  good  for  the  present  dis- 
tress, I  say,  that  it  is  good  for  a 
man  so  to  be. 

27  Art  thou  bound  unto  a 
"wife  ?  ''seek  not  to  be  loosefl. 
Art  thou  loosed  from  a  wife  ? 
''seek  not  a  wife. 

28  But  and  if  thou  marry,  thou 
hast  not  sinned;  and  if  a  '^vir- 
gin marry,  she  hath  not  sinned. 
Nevertheless  such  shall  have 
'^trouble  in  the  flcsli:  but  I  spare 
you. 

^  29  But  this  I  say,  brethren,  "the 
time  is  '^short:  '^it  remaiiieth, 
"^that  both  they  that  have  wives 
be  as  though  they  had  none; 

30  And  they  that  ''weep,  as 
though  they  wept  not;  and  they 
that  ^rejoice,  as  though  they 
rejoiced  not;  and  they  that 
'^buy,  as  though  they  ])os.sessed 
not; 

31  And  they  that  "use  this 
world,   as   not  ^^abusiii";  it:   for 


the   fasliion   of  this  world  pass- 
eth  away. 

32  But  I  would  have  you^^vvith- 
out  'carefulness.  He  that  is  "un- 
married careth  for  the  things 
that  belong  to  the  Lord,  how  he 
may  ])lease  the  I^ord: 

33  But  he  that  is  married  *car- 
eth  for  the  things  that  are  of  the 
world,  how  ^he  may  please  his 
"wife. 

34  There  is  dilVerence  also  be- 
tween a  "wife  and  a  ^virgin. 
The  unmarried  woman  careth 
for  the  things  of  the  Lord,  that 
she  may  be  '"holy  both  in  body 
and  in  ^spirit:  but  she  that  is 
married  ^^'^careth  for  the  things 
of  the  world,  how  she  may  please 
her  ^husband. 

35  And  this  I  speak  for  your 
own  profit;  not  that  I  may  cast 
a  snare  upon  you,  but  for  that 
which  is  "comely,  and  that  ye 
may  attend  upon  the  Lord  with- 
out distraction. 

36  But  if  any  ^'man  think  that 
he  behaveth  himself  ^^uncomely 
toward  his   '"^virgin,  if  she  pass  I 
the  flower  of  her  age,  and  need  so  | 
recjuire,  let  him  do  what  he  will, 
he  sinneth  not:  let  them  ^marry. 

37  Nevertheless  ^he  that  stand- 
eth  stedfast  in  his  heart,  having- 
no  necessity,  but  hath  power 
over  his  own  will,  and  hath  ^''so 
decreed  in  his  heart  that  he  will 
keep  his  ''virgin,  doeth  well. 

38  So  then  n\c  that  giveth 
'^^■''Iier  in  ^marriage  doeth  well; 
\mt  he  that  giveth  Iter  not  in 
marria.'i'c    doeth   better. 

39  ''The  ^vife  is  boinnl  by  the 
law  as  long  as  her  '^husband  liv- 
etli;  but  if  her  husband  be  dead, 
''she  is  at  liberty  to  be  married 
to  whom  she  will;  only  in  the 
Lord. 

40  But  she  is  hapi)ier  if  she  s.) 
abide,  after  my  judgment:  and  I 
think  also  that  A  have  the  'Spirit 
of  God.

CHAPTER  8 


Concerning  tneat  offered  to  idols,  9  Their 
Christian  liberty  must  not  become  a 
stumblingbloch  to  them  that  are  weak. 


NOW  as  touching  things 
''■''offered  unto  idols,  we 
know  that  we  all  have  knowl- 
edge. TCnowledge  '^puffeth  up, 
but  ^' '^charity  edifieth. 

2  And  if  any  man  ^think  that  he 
knoweth  any  thing,  he  knoweth 
nothing  yet  as  he  ought  to  know. 

3  But  if  any  man  ''love  God, 
*the  same  is  *known  of  him. 

4  As  concerning  therefore  the 
eating  of  those  ^things  that  are 
''■'^'offered  in  sacrifice  unto  ^idols, 
we  know  that  an  idol  is  nothing 
in  the  world,  and  tliat  there  is 
none  other  '"God  but  one. 

5  For  though  tliere  be  that  are 
called  gods,  wliether  in  heaven 
or  in  earth,  (as  there  be  *gods 
many,  and  lords  many,) 

6  But  to  us  there  is  hut  '"one 
God,  the  "Father,  of  whom  are 
all  tilings,  and  we  in  him;  and 
one  "'^'Lord  Je'sus  Christ,  *by 
whom  are  all  things,  and  we  by 
him. 

7  Howbeit  there  is  not  in  every 
man  that  knowledge:  ^for  some 
with  conscience  of  the  ^idol  unto 
this  hour  eat  it  as  a  thing  ^offered 
unto  an  idol;  and  tlieir  ''con- 
science being  weak  is  defiled. 

8  But  meat  eommendeth  us  not 
to  God :  for  neither,  if  we  eat,  are 
we  the  better;  neither,  if  we  eat 
not,  are  we  the  worse. 

9  But  *''take  heed  lest  by  any 
means  this  liberty  of  your's  be- 
come a  '^  '^stumblingblock  to  them 
that  are  'weak. 

10  For  'if  any  man  see  thee 
which  hast  knowledge  sit  at 
meat  in  the  idol's  "'temple,  shall 
not  the  'conscience  of  him  which 
is   ^weak  be  emboldened  to  eat 


those  things  which  are  *^offered 
to  idols; 

1 1  And  through  thy  knowledge 
sliall  the  weak  ^brother  perish, 
^for  whom  Christ  died  ? 

12  But  when  ye  ^sin  so  against 
tlie  ^brethren,  and  wound  their 
weak  ''conscience,  ye  sin  against 
Christ. 

13  Wherefore,  *if  meat  make 
my  ^brother  to  ^offend,  '^•^•^l  will 
^eat  no  flesh  wliile  the  world 
standeth,  lest  I  make  my  brother 
to  offend. 

CHAPTER  9 

Paul  asserts  his  apostleship,  7  and  tluit  they 
who  preach  Vie  gospel  ought  to  live  by  it; 
15  yet  that  he  himself  had  not  been  charge- 
able to  them,  19  and  had  made  himself  the 
servant  of  all.  24  He  strives  for  an  in- 
corruptible crown. 

AM  "I  not  an  *apostle?  am  I 
not  free?  have  I  not  '^•''seen 
Je'sus  ^Christ  our  ^Lord?  are 
not  ye  'my  work  in  the  Lord  ? 

2  If  ''I  be  not  an  ^apostle  unto 
odiers,  yet  ^doul)tless  I  am  to 
you:  for  ^the  seal  of  mine  apos- 
tleship are  ye  in  the  Lord. 

3  ^Mine  answer  to  them  that  do 
examine  me  is  this, 

4  ''Have  we  *not  power  to  eat 
and  to  drink  ? 

5  ''Have  Hve  ^not  power  to 
^lead  about  a  sister,  a  ''wife,  as 
well  as  other  *apostles,  and  a.s' 
the  'brethren  of  the  "Lord,  and 
'"(^e'phas? 

6  Or  "I  only  and  "Biir'na-bas, 
have  ^not  we  power  to  forbear 
working  ?

8  ^Say  I  these  things  as  a  man  ? 
or  saith  not  the  *kw  the  same 
also? 

9  For  it  is  written  in  the  *hiw 
of  iMo'ses,  P''-«Thou  shalt  not 
muzzle  the  mouth  of  the  ox  that 
treadeth  out  the  corn.  Doth  God 
"take  care  for  "'oxen  ? 

10  Or  saith  he  it  altogether  for 
our  sakcs  ?  For  our  sakes,  no 
doubt,  this  is  written:  that  ^-"he 
that  ploweth  should  plow  in 
•^hope;  and  that  he  that  thresh- 
eth  ^in  hope  should  be  partaker 
of  his  hope. 

11  *If  we  have  sown  unto  you 
si)iritual  things,  is  it  a  great 
thing  if  Ave  shall  *''''"reap  your 
carnal  things  ? 

12  If  others  be  partakers  of  this 
^'^pow^er  over  you,  are  not  we 
rather  ?  Nevertheless  we  have 
not  used  this  "power;  but  ^' ^suf- 
fer all  things,  lest  we  should  hin- 
der the  "gospel  of  Christ. 

13  Do  ye  not  know  that  ''•''they 
which  minister  about  holy  things 
live  oj  the  ''things  of  the  temple  ? 
and  *'''they  which  wait  at  the  *al- 
tar  are  partakers  with  the  altar? 

14  Even  so  hath  the  Lord  or- 
dained that  ''they  wliich  ''preach 
tiie  "gos])el  should  ''■"live  of  the 
gosi)el. 

15  But  ''i  have  used  none  of 
''these  things:  neither  have  I  writ- 
ten these  things,  that  it  should 
be  so  done  unto  me:  for  Ht  were 
better  for  me  to  die,  than  that 
any  man  should  makt;  my  glory- 
ing void. 

16  For  though  1  /'^'preach  the 
"gospel,  I  have  nothing  to  glory 
of:  for  ^necessity  is  laid  upon 
me;  yea,  'woe  is  unto  me,  if  I 
preach  not  the  gospel ! 

17  For  if  I  do  this  tliinjr  '"will- 


ingly, I  have  a  "reward:  but  if 
'-against  my  will,  a  '""dispensa- 
tion of  the  (jospel  is  committed 
unto  me. 

18  What  is  my  "reward  then  ? 
Vcrihj  that,  when  I  ''preach  the 
"gos{)el,  I  may  make  the  gospel 
^^of  Christ  ''without  charge,  that 
I  abuse  not  my  ''power  in  the 
gospel. 

19  For  though  I  be  free  from 
all  7n,eii,  'yet  have  I  ^''■''•'''made 
myself  '"•''servant  unto  all,  that  I 
might  gain  the  more. 

20  And  unto  the  Jews  I  '•''•^be- 
came  as  a  Jew,  that  I  might  gain 
the  Jew.s ;  to  them  that  are  under 
the  law,  i5,i!,p,s.i3  under  the  law, 
tliat  I  might  gain  them  that  are 
under  tlie  law; 

21  To  them  that  are  without 
law,  '•'^•^as  without  law,  (being 
not  without  law  to  God,  but  un- 
der the  law  to  Christ,)  that  I 
might  gain  them  that  are  with- 
out law. 

22  To  the  'weak  ^•?'^ "became  I 
as  weak,  that  I  might  gain  the 
weak:  ^-p-'I  am  made  all  things 
to  all  vien,  that  I  might  by  all 
means  save  some. 

23  And  ^''•'this  I  do  for  the 
"gospel's  sake,  that  I  might  be 
partaker  thereof  with  you. 

24  Know  ye  not  that  "they 
which  run  in  a  ^race  run  all,  but 
one  receiveth  tlie  ''prize  ?  '^So 
•^run,  that  ye  may  '^obtain. 

25  And  every  man  that  striv- 
eth  ^^'^for  the  mastery  is  ^'tem- 
perate in  all  things.  Now  they 
do  it  to  obtain  a  corruptible 
^■"crown;  but  we  "an  incor- 
ruptible. 

20  I  therefore  so  ^run,  ''not  as 
uncertainly;  so  fight  I,  *not  as

CHAPTER  10 

Certain  miracles  in  the  Old  Testament  used 
as  types  of  our  sacraments.  5  The  pun- 
ishment a!  the  rebellious  Jews  a  warning 
to  us  to  avoid  Ihe  like  sins.  15  especially 
in  partaking  of  the  Lord's  supper.  24  In 
things  indifferent  we  must  hare  regard  to 
our  brethren  and  the  glory  of  God. 

MOREOVER,  brethren,  I 
would  not  that  ye  should 
be  ignorant,  how  that  all  our  "fa- 
thers were  under  the  *cloud,  and 
all  passed  through  the  '^sea; 

2  And  were  all  '^baptized  unto 
'Mo'.ses  in  the  ''cloud  and  in  the 
'^sea ; 

3  And  did  all  eat  the  same 
/'^spiritual  meat; 

4  And  did  all  drink  the  same 
spiritual  ''drink:  for  they  drank 
of  that  spiritual  ^•'^•'Rock  that 
followed  thein:  and  that^'^Rock 
was  Christ. 

5  But  with  many  of  Hhem  God 
was  not  well  pleased:  for  they 
were  '"overthrown  in  the  wilder- 
ness, 

6  Now  these  things  were  our  ex- 
amples, to  the  intent  we  should 
not  "'"lust  after  evil  things,  ^as 
tliey  also  lusted. 

7  'Neither  be  ye  idolaters,  as 
were  some  of  them;  as  it  is 
written,  ''The  people  sat  down 
to  eat  and  drink,  and  rose  up 
to   *play. 

8  'Neither  let  us  commit  "for- 
nication, as  some  of  them  com- 
mitted, and  ^'^fell  in  one  day 
three  and  twenty  thousand. 

9  Neither  let  us  "'tempt  2-  ^Christ,

and  were  ''destroyed  of  the  de-

11  Now  all  these  tilings  hap- 
pened unto  them  ^for  ensam- 
ples:  and  ''they  are  ^written  for 
our  ^admonition,  upon  whom  the 
ends  of  the  ''world  are  come. 

12  Wherefore  let  him  that 
''thinketh  he  standeth  ''•^•^take 
heed  lest  he  fall. 

13  *There  hath  no  temptation 
taken  you  but  such  as  ^is  com- 
mon to  man:  but  God  is  'faith- 
ful, '"'"who  will  not  suffer  you  to 
be  tempted  above  that  ye  are 
able;  but  "-"will  with  the  ^temp- 
tation also  'make  a  way  to  es- 
cape, that  ye  may  be  able  to 
bear  it. 

14  Wherefore,  my  dearly  ''be- 
loved, "flee  from  'idolatry. 

15  I  speak  as  to  "wise  men; 
judge  ye  what  I  say.

we  bless,  is  it  not  ^the  *commu-

The  "bread  which  we  l:)reak,  is  it 
not  ®the  communion  of  the  body

are  all  partakers  of  ^that  one

6  For  if  the  woman  be  not  ^cov- 
ered, let  her  also  be  shorn :  but  if 
it  be  a  shame  for  a  woman  to  be 
shorn  or  shaven,  let  her  be  ^cov- 
ered. 

7  For  a  man  indeed  ought  not 
to  ■'cover  his  head,  forasmuch  as 
^'*he  is  the  *image  and  glory  of 
God :  but  the  woman  is  the  glory 
of  the  man. 

8  For  ''the  man  is  not  of  the 
woman;  but  the  woman  of  the 
man. 

9  Neither  was  the  man  created 
for  the  woman;  but  the  woman 
for  the  man. 

10  For  this  cause  ought  the 
woman  to  have  ^power  on  her 
head  because  of  the  *angels. 

11  Nevertheless  'neither  is  the 
man  without  the  woman,  neither 
the  woman  without  the  man,  in 
the  Lord. 

12  For  as  the  woman  is  of  the 
man,  even  so  is  the  man  also  by 
the  woman;  but  all  things  of 
"God. 

13  Judge  ^in  yourselves:  ^-'"is 
it  comely  that  a  woman  "pray 
unto  God  uncovered  ? 

14  Doth  not  even  nature  itself 
teach  you,  that,  if  a  man  have 
long  hair,  it  is  a  shame  unto 
him  ? 

15  But  if  a  woman  have  long 
hair,  it  is  a  glor}'  to  her:  for  Iter 
hair  is  given  her  for  a  covering. 

16  But  if  any  man  seem  to  be 
^contentious,  we  have  no  such 
custom,  neither  the  "'churches 
of  God. 

17  ^Now  in  this  that  I  declare 
unto  you  I  praise  you  not,  that 
ye  ^come  together  not  for  the 
better,  but  for  the  worse. 

18  For  first  of  all,  when  ye  come 
together  in  the  ^church,  I  hear 
that  there  be  divisions  among 
you;  and  I  partly  believe  it. 

19  For  there  must  be  also  ^her- 


esies among  you,  that  they  which 
are  ^approved  maybe  made  man- 
ifest among  you. 

20  When  ^ye  come  together 
therefore  into  one  place,  "•''this 
is  not  to  eat  the  '"Lord's  supper. 

21  For  in  eating  every  one  tak- 
eth  before  other  his  own  supper: 
and  one  is  ''hungry,  and  another 
is  Mrunken. 

22  What?  *'^have  ''ye  not 
houses  to  eat  and  to  drink  in  ? 
or  despise  ye  the  church  of  God, 
and  ^"shame  them  that  have  not  ? 
What  shall  I  say  to  you?  shall  I 
praise  you  in  this  ?  I  praise  you 
not. 

23  For  I  have  ''received  of  the 
Lord  that  which  also  I  delivered 
unto  you,  That  the  '^Lord  Je'sus 
the  same  night  in  Avhich  he  was 
^betrayed  *^took  'bread: 

24  And  when  he  had  given 
'"■"thanks,  he  brake  Ht,  and  saitl, 
"•*^Take,  eat:  this  is  my  body, 
which  is  broken  for  you:  this  do 
in  "remembrance  of  me. 

25  After  the  same  manner  also 
^"^he  Hook  the  cup,  when  he  had 
supped,  saying.  This  ^'^cup  is 
the  ''new  testament  in  my  *blood : 
this  do  ye,  as  oft  as  ye  drink  it,  in 
"remembrance  of  me. 

26  For  as  often  as  ye  *eat  this 
'bread,  and  '"drink  this  ^-'cup, 
ye  ^^do  'shew  the  Lord's  Meath 
till  he  "come. 

27  Wherefore  whosoever  shall 
'^eat  this  'bread,  and  *drink  tJiis 
^cup  of  the  Lord,  ""unworthily, 
shall  be  guilty  of  the  body  and 
blood  of  the  *Lord. 

28  But  let  a  man  "-^examine 
himself,  and  so  let  him  *eat  of 
^^that  'bread,  and  *drink  of

CHAPTER  12 

Concerning  spiritual  gifts.  4  Diversities  of 
gifts,  but  (he  same  Spirit.  12  As  in  tlie 
natural  body  there  are  many  members, 
and  all  hare  not  the  same  office,  27  so  in 
the  church  there  are  different  gifts  and 
offices. 

NOW   concerning  *•  ^spiritual 
gifts,  brethren,  I  would  not 
have  you  ignorant. 

2  Ye  know  that  ye  were  '^Gen'- 
tlle.s,  carried  away  unto  these 
dumb  ''idols,  even  as  ye  were  led. 

3  Wherefore  I  give  you  to  un- 
derstand, that  no  man  speaking 
by  the  '^•^Spirit  of  "God  '-'calleth 
''Je'sus  accursed:  and  that  no 
man  can  ^•''say  that  Je'.sus  is 
the  '^■'Lord,  but  by  the  ''Holy 
Ghost. 

4  Now  there  are  diversities  of 
*■  ^gifts,  but  the  .same  '^Spirit. 

5  And  there  are  ^differences  of 
administrations,  but  the  same 
'Lord. 

6  And  tliere  are  diversities  of 
^operations,  but  it  is  the  same 
God  which  ^worketh   all  in  all. 

7  But  the  'manifestation  of  the 


"^Spirit  is  given  to  every  man  to 
profit  withal. 

8  For  to  one  is  *-^given  by  the 
''Spirit  the  word  of  '"wisdom;  to 
another  the  word  of  "knowledge 
by  the  same  Spirit; 

9  '■'^To  another  ''faith  by  the 
.same  '"Spirit;  to  another  the  gifts 
of  ^healing  by  the  same  Spirit; 

10  *■  ^To  another  the  working 
of  %iiracles;  to  another  ''proj)h- 
ecy;  to  another  discerning  of 
spirits;  to  another  divers  kinds 
of  ■'■•^tongues;  to  another  the  'in- 
terpretation of  tongues : 

11  But  all  these  worketh  that 
one  and  the  selfsame  ''Spirit,  di- 
viding to  every  man  severally  as 
he  will. 

12  "'"For  as  the  "body  is  one, 
and  hath  many  members,  and 
all  the  members  of  that  one  body, 
being  many,  are  one  body:  so 
also  is  Christ. 

13  For  by  one  ^Spirit  are  ^we 
all  ^baj^tized  into  "-^one  '^body, 
whetlier  ive  be  ,Tews  or  *Gen'- 
tile.s,  whether  ive  be  "bond  or 
free;  and  have  been  all  made  to 
drink  ^into  one  Spirit. 

14  For  the  ''body  is  not  one 
member,   but  many. 

15  If  the  ''foot  shall  say.  Be- 
cause I  am  not  the  ''hand,  I  am 
not  of  the  ''body;  is  it  therefore 
not  of  the  body  ? 

16  And  if  the  ''ear  shall  say, 
Because  I  am  not  the  ^cye,  I  am 
not  of  the  ''body;  is  it  therefore 
not  of  th^  body  ? 

17  If  the  whole  ''body  were  an 
^eye,  where  were  the  hearing  ? 
If  the  whole  were  hearing,  where 
tvere  the  smelling  ? 

18  But  now  hath  "God  .set  the 
members  every  one  of  them  in 
the  "body,  as  it  hath  plea.sed 
him.

19  And  if  they  were  all  one 
member,  where  were  the  "body  ? 

20  But  now  are  they  many 
members,   yet    but   one    "body. 

21  And  the  ''eye  cannot  say 
unto  the  '^hand,  I  have  no 
need  of  thee:  nor  aj^ain  the 
head  to  the  '^feet,  I  have  no  need 
of  you. 

22  Nay,  much  more  those 
members  of  the  "body,  which 
seem  to  be  more  feeble,  are 
necessary: 

23  And  those  ^members  of  the 
"body,  which  we  think  to  be  less 
honourable,  upon  these  we  be- 
stow more  abundant  honour; 
and  our  uncomely  parts  have 
more   abundant   comeliness. 

24  For  our  comely  parts  have 
no  need:  but  "God  hath  tem- 
pered the  body  together,  having 
given  more  a])undant  honour  to 
that  part  which  lacked: 

25  That  there  should  be  no 
schism  in  the  ''body;  but  tJiat  the 
members  should  have  the  same 
'••'care  one  for  another. 

2G  And  whether  one  member 
''suffer,  all  the  members  'suffer 
with  it;  or  one  member  be  hon- 
oured, all  the  members  'rejoice 
with  it. 

27  Now  '"ye  are  tiie  body  "of 
Christ,  and  ^members  in  par- 
ticular. 

28  And  God  hath  set  some 
in  the  "church,  first  ^apostles, 
^secondarily  'prophets,  thirdly 
'■•^teachers,  after  that  hiaira- 
cles,  then  *'^gifts  of  "healings, 
helps,  '^governments,  diversities 
of  ^tongues. 

29  Are  all  ^apostles?  are  all 
"prophets  ?  are  all  ''teachers  ?  are 
all  workers  of  'miracles  ? 

30  Have  all  the  *'^gifts  of  ''heal- 
ing? do  all  speak  with  nongues? 
do  all  "'interpret? 

31  But  ^covet  earnestly  the  best 
^gifts:  and  yet  shew  I  unto  you  a 
'^•^more  excellent  way. 


CHAPTER  13 

All  gifts,  however  excellent,  are  worth  noth- 
ing xvithout  love.  4  The  praises  thereof. 
13  li  rs  greater  than  hope  and  faith. 

THOUGH  I  "■  "speak  witu  the 
tongues  of  men  and  of  an- 
gels, and  have  not  ^•^■'^' ''charity, 
I  am  become  as  ''sounding  "brass, 
or  a  ^tinkling  ''cymbal. 

2  And  though  I  have  tJie  gift 
of  prophecy,  and  understand  all 
mysteries,  and  all  'knowledge; 
and  though  I  have  all  ^faith,  so 
that  I  could  remove  mountains, 
and  have  not  ^•''charity,  I  am 
nothing. 

3  And  though  I  ^' ^bestow  all 
my  goods  to  feed  the  ^poor,  and 
though  I  '"give  my  body  to  be 
"•"burned,  and  have  not  ^''char- 
ity, it  profiteth  me  nothing. 

4 1  •  "^Charity  "•  *■  "•  "suffereth  long, 
and  is  ''■  ^'  ''•  "kind ;  ^charity  'envieth 
not;  ^charity  "vaunteth  not  itself, 
is  "not  puffed  up, 

5  "Doth  not  behave  itself  un- 
seemly, ^'  ^seeketh  not  her  own, 
is  not  \^asily  ^provoked,  "think- 
eth  no  evil; 

6  "Rejoicetli  not  in  ^iniquity, 
but  rejoiceth  in  the  "truth; 

7  '^•''"''Beareth  all  things,  bcliev- 
eth  all  things,  ''hoj)eth  all  things, 
''•''•  ^'endureth  all  things. 

8  ^■''■"Charity  never  faileth: 
but  whether  there  he  prophecies, 
they  shall  ^fail;  whether  there  he 
''tongues,  they  shall  cease; 
whether  there  he  'knowledge,  it 
shall  ^vanish  away. 

9  For  we  know  in  part,  and  we 
prophesy  in  part. 

10  But  when  that  which  is  per- 
fect is  come,  then  that  which  is 
in  part  shall  be  done  away. 

11  When  I  was  a  'child,  I  spake 
as  a  child,  I  ^understood  as  a 
child,  I  thought  as  a  child:  but 
when  I  became  a  man,  I  put 
awav  childish  things.

CHAPTER  14 

T?ie  gift  of  propltecu  preferred  to  speaking 
with  tongues.  12  The  end  of  both  is  the 
edification  of  the  church.  26  Directions 
how  to  use  these  gifts.  34  Women  forbid- 
den to  speak  in  the  church. 

FOLLOW  after  ^'^charity,  and 
desire  'sjjiritual  gi/t-t,   but 
rather  that  ye  may  '^prophesy. 

2  For  he  that  speaketh  in  ^an 
unknoicn  '^tongue  speaketh  not 
unto  men,  but  unto  God:  for  no 
man  understandeth  him;  howbe- 
it  in  the  spirit  he  speaketh  mys- 
teries. 

3  But  he  that  '^prophesieth 
^speaketh  unto  men  to  edifi- 
cation, and  •"'exhortation,  and 
comfort. 

4  He  that  speaketh  in  -an  nu- 
Icnoini  ''tongue  edifietli  him.sclf; 
but  he  that  '^prophesieth  edifieth 
the  ^church. 

5  I  would  that  ye  all  spake  with 
''tongues,  but  rather  that  ye 
'^prophesied:  for  greater  is  he 
that  pr()[)liesieth  than  he  that 
speaketh  with  tongues,  except  he 
''interpret,  that  the  ''church  may 
receive  edifying. 

G  Now,  l)rethren,  if  I  come  un- 
to you  si)eaking  with  ''tongues, 
what  shall  I  profit  you,  except 
I  shall  speak  to  you  either  by 
revelation,  (jr  by  knowledge, 
or  by  prophesying,  or  by  ''doc- 
trine ? 

7  And  even  things  without  life 
giving  ^sound,  whether  ''i:)i|)e  or 
'^•Miarp,  exce))t  they  give  a  di.s- 
tinction  in  the  .sounds,  how  shall 
it  be  known  what  is  pi})ed  or 
harped  ? 

8  For  if  tlie  ^trum])et  give  an 


uncertain  ''sound,  who  shall  pre- 
pare himself  "to  the  battle  ? 

9  So  likewi.se  ye,  except  ye  utter 
by  the  tongue  '•'words  easy  to 
be  understood,  how  shall  it  be 
known  what  is  spoken  ?  for  ye 
shall  speak  into  the  air. 

10  There  are,  it  may  be,  so 
many  kinds  of  voices  in  the 
world,  and  none  of  them  is  with- 
out signification. 

11  Therefore  if  I  know  not  the 
meaning  of  the  voice,  I  shall 
be  unto  him  that  speaketh  a 
'barbarian,  and  he  that  speak- 
eth shall  he  a  barbarian  unto 
me. 

12  Even  so  ye,  forasmuch  as  ye 
are  '"zealous  of  ''spiritual  gifts, 
seek  that  ye  may  excel  to  the 
edifj'ing  of  the  ^church. 

13  Wherefore  let  him  that 
speaketh  in^an  ituknoii'ti.  ''tongue 
'^jiray   that  he  may  ''interpret. 

14  For  if  I  "jiray  in  -an  un- 
known ''tongue,  my  "sjjirit  {)ray-

21  In  the  ^law  it  is  written, 
^With  men  of  other  tongues  and 
^^other  lips  will  I  speak  unto  this 
people;  and  yet  for  all  that  ^will 
they  not  hear  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

22  Wherefore  "tongues  are  for 
a  sign,  not  to  them  that  *be-

not:  but  '^prophesying  ^^serveth 
not  for  them  that  believe  not, 
but  for  them  which  believe. 

23  If  therefore  the  whole 
^church  be  ^come  together  into 
one  place,  and  all  speak  with 
"tongues,  and  there  come  in 
those  that  are  unlearned,  or  "^un-

ye  are  mad  ? 

24  But  if  all  ''prophesy,  and 
there  come  in  one  that  '^believ-

^^convinced  of  all,  he  is  judged

25  iVnd  thus  are  the  secrets  of 
his  heart  made  manifest;  and  so 
''falling  down  on  his  face  he  will 
^vorship  God,  '*and  report  that 
God  is  in  you  of  a  truth. 

26  How  is  it  then,  brethren  ? 
when  ye  come  together,  every 
one  of  you  hath  a  psalm,  hath  a 
^doctrine,  hath  a  '^tongue,  hath  a 
revelation,  hath  an  interpreta-

unto  edifying. 

27  ''"'If  any  man  speak  in  ^an

that  ^^by  course;  and  let  one  'in-

28  But  if  there  be  no  'inter-

31  For  ye  may  all  prophesy  one 
by  one,  that  all  may  learn,  and 
all  may  be  comforted. 

32  And  the  spirits  of  the  proph- 
ets are  subject  to  the  prophets. 

33  For  God  is  not  ^Hhe  author 
of  confusion,  but  of  '^peace,  as  in 
all  churches  of  the  saints.

the  law. 

35  And  if  they  will  learn  any

for  'women  to  speak  in  the

36  What?  came  the  word  of 
God  out  from  you  ?  or  came  it 
unto  you  only  ? 

37  If  any  man  think  himself  to

'for  our  siiLS  according   to   the

4  And  that  he  was  buried,  and 
that  he  *'^rose  again  the  third 
day  according  to  the  'scriptures: 

5  And  that  he  was  'seen  of 
'"(,'e'phas,  then  of  the  "twelve: 

6  After  that,  he  was  'seen  of 
above  five  hundred  brethren  at 
once;  of  whom  the  greater  part 
remain  unto  this  present,  but 
some  are  fallen  "asleep. 

7  After  that,  he  was  'seen  of 
''James;  then  of  all  the  "^apostles. 

8  And  last  of  all  he  was  '-^seen 
of  "me  also,  as  of  one  born  out  of 
due  time. 

9  For  I  am  the  least  of  the 
"apostles,  that  am  ''not  meet  to 
be  called  an  apostle,  because  *I 
'persecuted  the  ''church  of  God. 

10  ^'^But  by  the  '"•■^grace  of 
God  I  am  what  I  am:  and  his 
"grace  which  tvas  bestowed  upon 
me  was  not  in  vain;  but  ^I  la- 
boured more  abundantly  than 
they  all:  yet  not  I,  but  the  ''grace 
of  God  which  was  with  me. 

1 1  Therefore  whether  it  were  I 
or  tliey,  so  we  "preach,  and  so 
S'e  ^believed. 

12  Now  if  Christ  be  preached 
that  he  rose  from  the  dead,  how 
say  some  among  '^you  that  there 
is  no  *resurrection  of  the  dead  ? 

13  But  if  tliere  be  no  ♦resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead,  then  is  Christ 
not  *^risen: 

14  And  if  Christ  be  not  ri.sen, 
then  is  our  "preacliing  vain,  and 
your  '^faith  is  also  vain. 

15  Yea,  and  we  are  found  false 


witnesses  of  God;  because  we 
iiave  ^testified  of  God  that  he 
♦•"raised  up  Christ:  whom  he 
raised  not  up,  if  so  be  that  the 
dead  rise  not. 

16  For  if  the  "dead  *rise  not, 
then  is  not  Christ  '^raised: 

17  And  if  Christ  be  not  *'*^raised, 
your  '^faith  is  vain;  ye  are  yet  in 
your  sins. 

18  Then  they  also  which  are 
fallen  ''asleep  in  Christ  are  per- 
ished. 

19  If  ill  tliis  life  only  we  have 
*hope  in  Christ,  we  are  of  all  men 
most  ^miserable. 

20  But  now  is  Christ  *risen 
from  the  dead,  and  become  the 
'firstfruits  of  them  that  ^"''slept. 

21  For  since  by  *man  came 
'•"'' "death,  by  "man  came  also 
the  *' "resurrection  of  the  dead. 

22  For  as  in  "Ad'Sm  all  die, 
even  so  in  Christ  shall  *all  be 
made  *alive. 

23  But  every  man  in  his  own 
order:  Christ  the  'firstfruits;  af- 
terward they  that  are  ''Christ's 
at  his  *coming. 

24  'Then  cometh  the  end,  when 
"he  shall  have  delivered  up  the 
"kingdom  to  God,  even  the  '"Fa- 
ther; when  ^he  shall  have  ])ut 
down  %11  rule  and  all  authority 
and  power. 

25  'For  ^he  must  reign,  till  he 
hath  put  all  ''enemies  under  his

27  "For  he  hath  put  all  things 
^under  ''his  feet.  But  when  he 
saith  all  things  are  put  ^under 
him,  it  is  manifest  that  he  is  e.\- 
cepted,  which  did  put  all  things 
under  him. 

28  '^And  when  all  things  shall 
be  subdued  unto  him,  then  shall 
the  "^Son  also  himself  be  subject 
unto  him  that  put  all  things  un- 
der him,  that  ^God  may  be  all  in 
all. 

29  Else  what  shall  they  do 
which  are  "baptized  for  the 
dead,  if  the  dead  *rise  not  at 
all?  why  are  they  then  baptized 
for  the  dead  ? 

30  And  why  stand  we  in  ''jeop- 
ardy every  hour  ? 

31  I  protest  by  ^your  rejoicing 
which  I  have  in  Christ  Je^sus  our 
Lord,  I  die  daily. 

32  If  after  the  manner  of  men 
I  have  *f ought  with  ■'beasts  at 
^Eph'e-sus,  what  advantageth  it 
me,  if  the  'dead  rise  not?  '"•"let 
"us  ^eat  and  drink;  for  to  mor- 
row we  die. 

33  Be  not  deceived :  'eviP''''*com- 
munications  corrujit  good  man- 
ners. 

34  Awake  to  ^righteousness, 
and  'sin  not;  for  some  "have  not 
the  knowledge  of  God:  *'I  speak 
this  to  '°your  shame. 

35  But  some  man  will  say,  How 
are  the  dead  *raised  up  ?  and 
with  what  body  do  they  come  ? 

36  Thou  "fooi,"'that  vvhich  thou 
sowest  is  not  quickened,  except 
it  die: 

37  And  '"that  which  thou  sow- 
est, thou  sowest  not  that  body 
that  shall  be,  but  ^bare  grain, 
it  may  chance  of  ^wheat,  or  of 
some  other  grain: 

38  But  ^God  giveth  it  a  body  as 
it  hath  pleased  him,  and  to  every 
seed  his  own  body. 

39  All  flesh  is  not  the  same 
flesh:  but  there  is  one  kitid  of 
^flesh  of  men,  another  ^flesh  of 


beasts,    another   of   fishes,    and 
^another  of  birds. 

40  There  are  also  ''celestial  bod- 
ies, and  bodies  terrestrial:  but 
the  glory  of  the  celestial  is  one, 
and  the  glory  of  the  terrestrial  is 
another. 

41  There  is  one  glory  of  the 
''sun,  and  another  glory  of  the 
''moon,  and  another  glory  of  the 
"stars:  for  otte  star  differeth  from 
another  star  in  glory. 

42  So  also  is  the  *resurrection 
of  the  dead.  It  is  sown  in  corrup- 
tion; ''it  is  ^raised  in  incorrup- 
tion: 

43  It  is  sown  in  di.shonour;  ''it 
is  ^raised  in  glory:  it  is  sown  in 
weakness;  ''it  is  "raised  in  power: 

44  It  is  sown  a  natural  body; 
it  is  ^raised  a  ''spiritual  body. 
^^There  is  a  natural  body,  and 
there  is  a  ''spiritual  body. 

45  And  so  it  is  written,  ^The 
first  man  "Ad'am  was  made  a 
living  soul;  the  last  ''•^A.d'am 
^^was  made  a  ^cpiickening  spirit. 

46  Howbeit  that  icas  not  first 
which  is  spiritual,  but  that  which 
is  natural;  and  afterward  that 
which  is  spiritual. 

47 The  first  ^man  is  of  the  earth, 
earthy:  the  second  'man  ?*.y  "the 
Lord  from  heaven. 

48  As  is  the  earthy,  such  are 
they  also  that  are  earthy:  and  as 
is  the  heavenly,  such  are  they 
also  that  are  heavenly. 

49  And  as  we  have  borne  the 
'"image  of  the  earthy,  "we  shall 
also  bear  the  image  of  the  heav- 
enly. 

50  Now  this  I  say,  brethren, 
that  flesh  and  blood  cannot 
inherit  the  "kingdom  of  God; 
neither  doth  corruption  inherit 
incorruption. 

51  Behold,  I  shew  you  a  mys- 
tery; We  shall  not  all  ^-^sleep, 
but  we  shall  all  be  changed, 

52  In  a  moment,  in  tlie  twin- 
kling of  an  eye,  at  the  last  trump:

^- ''•""•^trouble  which  came  to  us 
in  "A'sia,  that  we  were  pressed 
out  of  measure,  above  strength, 
iiLsomuch  that  we  despaired  even 
of  Hfe: 

9  But  we  had  the  ^sentence 
of  death  in  ourselves,  that  we 
should  not  *trust  in  ourselves, 
but  '^in  '^God  which  ^raiseth  the 
dead: 

10  Who  'delivered  us  from  so 
ofreat  a  death,  and  Moth  deliver: 
in  whom  we  '"trust  that  he  will

''prayer  for  us,  that  for  the  gift 
bestowed  upon  us  by  the  means 
of  many  persons  'thanks  may  be 
given  by  many  on  our  behalf. 

12  For  our  rejoicing  is  this,  the 
testimony  of  our  'conscience, 
that  in  ^simplicity  and  godly 
^'sincerity,  not  with  fleshly  ^vis- 
dom,  but  by  the  '"grace  of  God, 
we  ^have  had  our  conversation 
in  the  world,  and  more  abun- 
dantly to  you-\vard. 

13  For  we  write  none  other 
things  unto  you,  than  what  ye 
read    or    acknowledge;    and    "I 


trust  ye  shall  acknowledge  even 
to  the  end; 

14  As  also  ye  have  acknowl- 
edged us  in  part,  that  we  are 
your  rejoicing,  even  as  ye  also 
are  our's  in  the  day  of  the  "Lord 
Je'sus. 

15  And  in  this  confidence  "I 
was  minded  to  come  unto  you 
before,  that  ye  might  have  a  sec- 
ond benefit; 

16  And  to  pass  by  you  into 
'^Ma^-e-do'm-a,  and  to  come 
again  out  of  Ma9-e-do'ni-a  unto 
you,  and  of  you  to  be  brought  on 
my  way  toward  *Ju-dse'a. 

17  When  I  therefore  ,/as  thus 
minded,  did  "I  ^use  lightness  ? 
or  the  things  that  I  ])urposc,  do  1 
jiurpose  according  to  the  flesh, 
that  with  inc  there  should  be  yea

CHAPTER  2 

Having  sihwti  why  he  came  not  to  them,  6 
the  apostle  directs  them  to  receive  again  the 
crcomnunucdted  person.  12  His  disap- 
pointment in  not  finding  Titus  at  Troas. 
14  His  thanksgiving  to  God  for  his  success 
in  preaching  the  gospel. 

BUT  I  determined   this  with 
myself,   that  I  would  not 
come  again  to  you  'in  heaviness. 

2  For  if  I  make  you  sorry,  who 
is  he  then  that  maketh  me  glad, 
but  the  same  which  is  made  sorry 
by  me  ? 

3  And  I  wrote  this  same  unto 
you,  lest,  when  I  came,  I  should 
have  sorrow  from  them  of  whom 


I  ought  to  rejoice;  having  con- 
fidence in  you  all,  that  my  °joy 
is  the  joij  of  you  all. 

4  For  out  of  much  ^affliction 
and  anguish  of  heart  I  wrote  un- 
to you  with  many  tears;  not  that 
ye  should  be  grieved,  but  that 
ye  might  know  the  ^love  which 
I  have  more  abundantly  unto 
you. 

5  But  if  any  have  caused  ^grief, 
he  hath  not  grieved  me,  but  in 
part:  that  1  may  not  overcharge 
you  all. 

6  '^Sufficient  to  such  a  man  is 
this  punishment,  which  was  in- 
flicted ^of  many. 

7  So  that  contrariwise  '^ye  ought 
rather  to  ^forgive  him,  and  com- 
fort him,  lest  perhaps  such  a  one 
should  be  swallowed  up  with 
overmuch  sorrow. 

8  Wherefore  I  beseech  you  that 
ye  would  confirm  your  ''love  to- 
ward him. 

9  For  to  this  end  also  did  I 
write,  that  I  might  know  the  proof 
of  you,  whether  ye  be  "obedient 
in  all  things. 

10  To  whom  ''ye  'forgive  any 
thing,  I  forgive  also:  for  if  I 
forgave    any    thing,    to    whom

I  forgave  it,  for  your  sakes 
forgave  I  it  in  the  person  of 
Christ; 

11  Lest  ''-'Sa'tan  sliould  get  an 
advantage  of  us:  for  we  are  not 
ignorant  of  his  deviees. 

12  Furthermore,  when  I  came 
to  ^Tro'as  ^to  preach  Christ's 
^•'gosj)el,  and  a  "'door  was  open- 
ed unto  me  of  the  "Lord, 

13  "^I  had  no  rest  in  my  spirit, 
because  I  found  not  "Ti'tus  my 
^brother:  but  taking  my  leave  of 
them,  1  went  from  thence  into 
*^I&9-e-do'nt-a. 

14  Now  'thanks  be  unto  God, 
which  always  causeth  us  to  tri- 
umph in  Christ,  and  maketh 
manifest  the  savour  of  his  knowl- 
edge by  us  in  every  place. 

15  For  *we  are  unto  God  a 
sweet  savour  of  Christ,  in  them 
that  are  'saved,  and  in  them  that 
^•"perish: 

16  To  the  one  ^we  are  the  sa- 
vour of  ''death  unto  death;  and 
to  the  other  the  savour  of  '"life 
unto  life.  And  who  is  sufficient 
for  the.se  things  ? 

17  For  ^we  are  not  as  ^many, 
which  corrupt  the  ^word  of  God: 
but  as  of  "sincerity,  but  as  of 
God,  in  the  siglit  of  God  speak 
we  in  Christ. 

CHAPTER  3 

They  are  his  epistle  of  commendation.  6 
The  ministration  of  the  Spirit  shewn  to  be 
more  glorious  than  the  ministration  of 
condemnation.  14  The  veil  on  Israel's 
heart.  1 7  Where  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is, 
there  is  liberty. 

DO  we  begin  again  to  commend 
ourselves?  or  need  we,  'as 
some  others,  "epistles  of  com- 
mendation to  you,  or  letters  of 
commendation  from  you? 

2  ''Ye  are  our  epistle  "^written  in 
our  hearts,  known  and  read  of 
all  men: 

3  Forasmuch  as  ye  are  mani- 
festly declared  to  be  the  epistle 
of  Christ  ministered  by  us,  writ- 
ten not  with  ink,  but  with  the 


''Spirit  of  the  living  God;  not 
in  tables  of  stone,  but  in  ^fleshy 
tables  of  the  heart. 

4  And  such  trust  have  we 
through   Chrl.st  to   God-ward: 

5  *Not  that  we  are  sufficient  of 
ourselves  to  think  any  thing  as 
of  ourselves;  but  *our  ''sufficiency 
is  of  God ; 

6  Who  also  hath  made  us  ^ible 
ministers  of  the  ''■''new  testa- 
ment; not  of  the  letter,  but  of  the 
sjMrit:  for  the  letter  killeth,  but 
the  spirit  giveth  'life. 

7  But  if  the  'ministration  of 
death,  written  and  engraven  in 
stones,  ^was  glorious,  so  that  the 
children  of  I.s'ra-el  could  not 
stedfastly  behold  the  face  of 
^]\Io',se.s  for  the  glory  of  his 
'countenance;  which  glory  was 
^to  be  done  away: 

8  How  shall  not  the  ''minis- 
tration  of  the  spirit  be  rather 
glorious  ? 

9  For  if  the  'ministration  of  con- 
demnation be  glory,  much  more 
doth  the  ''ministration  of  riirht- 
eousness  exceed  in  glory. 

10  For  even  'that  wliich  was 
made  glorious  had  no  glory  in 
this  respect,  by  reason  of  the 
''glory  that  excelleth. 

11  For  if  'that  which  ®is  done 
away  was  glorious,  much  more 
''that  which  remaineth  is  ^glori- 
ous. 

12  Seeing  then  that  we  have 
such  "'hope,  we  use  great  '^plain- 
ness  of  speech : 

13  And  not  as  '"Mo'ses,  which 
put  a  "vail  over  his  face,  that 
the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  could  not 
stedfastly  look  to  the  end  of  that 
which  "is  abolished: 

14  But  their  minds  were 
'"•"blinded:  for  until  this  day  re- 
maineth the  same  "vail  untaken 
away  in  the  reading  of  the  ''old 
''testament;  which  vail  is  done 
away  in  'Christ. 

15  But   even    unto    this    day.

17  Now  the  Lord  is  '^that  'Spir-

CHAPTER  4 

The  apostle's  sincertty  and  diligence  in 
preaching  the  gospel.  7  Hoio  his  troubles 
and  persecutions  did  redound  to  the  praise 
of  God's  power.  12  to  the  benejit  of  the 
church,  16  and  to  tlie  apostle's  own  eternal 
glory. 

THEREFORE  seeing  we  have 
this  ministry,  as  we  have  re- 
ceived mercy,  "we  ''faint  not; 

2But  have'^-'^renounced  the  hid- 
den tilings  of  'dishonesty,  '^■''not 
walking  in  ^'craftiness,  '^nor  han- 
dling the  ^vord  of  God  *deceit- 
fully;  but  by  '^manifestation  of 
the  "truth  commending  ourselves 
to  every  man's  ''conscience  in  the 
sight  of  God. 

3  But  if  our  ''gospel  be  ^hid,  it 
is  ^hid  to  them  that  %re  *''lost: 

4  In  whom  the  *god  of  this 
world  hath  *blinded  the  minds 
of  'them  which  '"believe  not,  lest 
the  "light  of  the  ^glorious  gospel

CHAPTER  5 

The  apostle's  assurance  of  eternal  life,  2  and 
desire  lo  be  absent  from  the  body,  and  to  be 
present  luilh  the  Lord.  9  He  labors  to  be 
accepted  of  him.  12  The  love  of  Christ 
constrains  him  to  act.  18  Tlie  ministry 
of  reconciliation. 

FOR  "we  "know  that  if  our 
earthly  ^■''hou.se  of /// /'.s- tab- 
ernacle were  ^dissolved,  ^\ve  have 
a  "building  of  God,  an  house 
not  made  with  hands,  ''-'eternal 
in  the  'heavens. 

2  For  in  this  we  groan,  earnest- 
ly 'desiring  to  be  clothed  upon 
with  our  "house  which  is  from 
'heaven : 

3  If  so  be  that  Ix-ing  "clothed 
we  shall  not  be  found  naked. 

4  For  ^ve  that  are  in  tliis  ''tab- 
ernacle do  groan,  being  bur- 
dened: not  for  that  we  would 
l,>e  unclothed,  but  "clothed  upon, 
that  'mortality  might  be  swal- 
lowed up  of  ''•'life. 

5  Now  '"he  that  hath  wrought 
us  for  the  selfsame  *•  "thing  is 
God,  who  also  hath  given  unto 
us  the  "-''earnest  of  the  'Spirit.

6  Therefore xceare always ^-  ''con- 
fident, knowing  that,  'whilst  Sve 
are  at  home  in  the  body,  we  are 
absent  from  the  Lord: 

7  (For  we  walk  by  ''faith,  not  by 
sight:) 

8  We  are^-''confident,  I  say,  and 
'willing  rather  to  he  'al)sent  from 
the  body,  and*to  be^present  with 
the  Lord. 

9  Wherefore  ^-'we  labour,  that, 
whether  present  or  absent,  we 
may  be  'accepted  of  him. 

10  For  we  must  all  appear 
before  the  'judgment  seat  of 
"Christ;  that  every  one  may  "re- 
ceive the  things  done  in  his  body, 
"'according  to  that  he  hath  done, 
whether  it  he  good  or  bad. 

11  Knowing  therefore  the  ^-*ter- 
ror  of  the  Lord;  ^we  persuade 
men;  but  we  are  made  mani- 
fest unto  God;  and  I  trust  alscj 
are  made  manifest  in  your  ^con- 
sciences. 

12  For  we  commend  not  our- 
selves again  unto  you,  but  give 
you  occasion  to  glory  on  oar  be- 
half, that  ye  may  have  somewhat 
to  answer  them  which  glory  "in 
ajjpearance,  and  not  in  lieart. 

13  For  whether  we  be  *be- 
side  ourselves,  it  is  to  God:  or 
whether  we  ^be  sober,  it  is  ''•Hot 
your  cause. 

14  For  the  '^love  of  Christ  con- 
straineth  us;  because  we  thus 
judge,  that  if  one  '-"died  ''for  all, 
^then  were  all  dead: 

15  And  that  he  '-"died  ''for 
all,  that  they  which  live  ^should 
not  henceforth  'live  unto  them- 
selves, but  unto  him  which  died 
for  them,  and  *rose  again. 

16  Wherefore  henceforth  know 
we  no  man  after  the  flesh:  yea, 
though  we  have  known  Christ 
after  the  'flesh,  yet  now  hence- 
forth know  we  him  no  more.

you  in  Christ's  stead,  be  ye  *rec-

CHAPTER  6 

Paul  beseeches  them  not  to  receive  the  grace 
of  God  in  vain.  3  His  faithful  and  self- 
deny  tng  labors  in  the  ministry.  11  His 
strong  affection  for  them,  13  and  desire 
that  they  should  iive  as  becomes  the  gospel. 
14  Separation  from  unbelievers. 

WE  then,a5  "workers  together 
with  him,  beseech  you  also 
that  ye  receive  not  the  ''grace  of 
God  in  vain. 

2  (For  he  saith,  ^I  have  heard 
thee  in  a  time  accepted,  and  in 
the  day  of  '^salvation  have  I  ''suc- 
coured thee:  behold,  now  is  the 
accepted  time;  behold,  now  is 
the  day  of  salvation.) 

3  ^■"•''Giving  no  ^offence  in  any 
thing,  that  the  ministry  be  not 
blamed:

The  apostle  exhorts  them  to  purity  of  life, 
and  to  bear  him  like  arjection  as  he  does  to 
them.  4  He  dcc'ares  what  comfort  lie  re-

when  he  told  us  your  earnest 
desire,  your  *• ''mourning,  your

1  rejoiced  the  more. 

8  For  'though  I  made  you  sorry

though  I  did  ^repent:  for  I  per- 
ceive that  the  same  epistle  hath

were  made  sorry,  but  that  ye  I 
sorrowed  to  'repentance:  for  ye' 
were  made  sorry  after  a  godly  j 
manner,  that  ye  might  ^receive  [ 
damage  by  us  in  nothing.  i

the  world  worketh  ''■"'death.  I

grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ;  16  and

ivere  coming  to  them  in  reference  to  this

]l,rC)REOVER,«brethren,  *•  ^ve 
Jj-L  ^do  you  to  wit  of  the  ''grace 
of  God  bestowed  on  the  ^churches 
of  'Ma<?-e-do'm-a; 

2  How  that  in  ^a  great  trial 
of  "affliction  the  abundance  of 


their  *joy  and  their  deep  ^pov- 
erty Abounded  unto  the  riches 
of  their  ^liberality. 

3  For  ^to  their  power,  I  bear 
record,  yea,  and  beyond  their 
power  they  *'hvere  willing  of 
themselves; 

4  'Praying  us  with  much  in- 
treaty  ^that  we  would  receive  the 
^'gift,  and  take  upon  us  the  fel- 
lowship of  the  ministering  to  the 
saints. 

5  And  this  they  did,  not  as  we 
hoped,  but  first  '"'"gave  their  own 
selves  to  the  Lord,  and  "unto  us 
by  the  ^will  of  God. 

6  Insomuch  that  we  Mesired 
'Tl'tus,  that  as  he  had  begun, 
so  he  would  also  finish  in  you 
the  same  *grace  also. 

7  Therefore,  as  ye  abound  in 
every  thing,  in  ''faith,  and  utter- 
ance, and  ^knowledge,  and  in 
all  ^'^diligence,  and  in  your  "love 
to  us,  ^see  that  ye  abound  in  this 
grace  also. 

8  I  speak  not  by  command- 
ment, but  ^by  occasion  of  the^'for- 
wardness  of  others,  and  to  prove 
the  "sincerity  of  your  "love. 

9  For  ye  know  the  '"grace  of 
our  ^Lord  Jc'sus  Christ,  that, 
though  he  was  rich,  yet  -'for  your 
sakes  ^he  became  poor,  that  ye 
through  his  poverty  might  be 
rich. 

10  And  herein  I  give  my  ^ad-

14  R.  V.  For  we 
take  thought  for 
things  honour- 
able, not  only 


vice:  for  "this  is  expedient  for 
you,  '"who  have  begun  before, 
not  only  to  do,  but  also  to  be 
forward  a  year  ago. 

11  Now  tlierefore  "perform  the 
''doing  of  it;  that  as  tJiere  was  a 
readiness  to  will,  so  tliere  may  he 
a  performance  also  out  of  that 
which  ye  have. 

12  For  *if  there  be  first  a  willing 
mind,  it  is  accepted  according  to 
that  a  man  hath,  and  not  accord- 
ing to  that  he  hath  not. 

13  For  1  mean  not  that  other 
men  be  eased,  and  ye  burdened : 

14  But  by  an  equality,  that  now 
at  this  time  ''your  abundance 
may  he  a  supply  for  their  want, 
that  '"their  abundance  also  may 
be  a  stipply  for  your  want:  that 
there  may  be  equality: 

15  As  it  is  written,  "^He  that  had 
gathered  much  had  nothing  over; 
and  he  that  had  gathered  little 
had  no  lack. 

16  But  ''thanks  he  to  God,  which 
])ut  the  same  'earnest  care  into 
the  heart  of  "-''Ti'tus  for  ^you. 

17  For  indeed  he  accepted  the 
exhortation;  but  being  "-''''more 
forward,  of  his  own  accord  he 
went  unto  Vou. 

18  And  we  have  sent  with  him 
the  ^brother,  whose  'praise  is 
in  the  gospel  throughout  all  the 
'churches; 

19  And  not  iJiat  only,  but 
who  was  also  *• 'chosen  of  the 
churches  to  travel  with  us  ^^with 
this '"grace,  which  is  administered 
by  us  to  the  glory  of  the  same 
Lord,  and  declaration  of  your 
ready  mind: 

20  "Avoiding  this,  that  no  man

dance  which  is  administered  by 

us: 

21  "Providing  for  "honest 
things,  not  only  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  but  also  in  the  sight 
of  men. 

22  And  we  have  sent  with  them 


our  ''brother,  whom  we  have 
oftentimes  proved  '^diligent  in 
many  things,  but  now  much 
more  '^diligent,  upon  the  great 
confidence  which  /  have  in  you. 

23  Whether  any  do  enquire  of 
"Ti'ius,  he  is  my  partner  and  fel- 
lowhelper  concerning  you :  or  our 
brethren  be  enquired  of,  they  arc 
the  messengers  of  the  churches, 
and  the  glory  of  Christ. 

24  ^Wherefore  shew  ye  to  them, 
and  before  the  churches,  the  proof 
of  your  *love,  and  of  our  boast- 
ing on  your  behalf. 

CHAPTER  9 

Tlie  apostle  shews  why,  though  he  knew  their 
forwardness,  he  yet  sent  Titus  and  his 
brethren  beforehand:  6  and  exhorts  them  to 
give  bountifully.  15  God's  unspeakable 
gift. 


F 


OR  as  touching  the  '^mini.s- 
tering  to  the  ^saints,  "it  is 
su{)erfluous  for  me  to  write  to 
''you: 

2  For  I  know  Hhe  forwardness 
of  your  mind,  for  which  I  boast 
of  yovi  to  theinof''I\Ia9-e-do'ni-a, 
that  'A-cha'ia  was  ready  a  year 
ago:  and  ''your  *''zeal  hath  pro- 
voked very  many. 

3  Yet  liave  I  sent  the  brethren, 
lest  our  boasting  of  ''you  should 
be  in  vain  in  this  behalf;  that,  as 
I  said,  ye  may  be  ready: 

4  Lest  haply  if  they  of  ^Mri9-e- 
do'ni-a  come  with  me,  and  find 
you  unprepared,  we  (that  we  say 
not,  ye)  should  be  ^ashamed  in 
this  same  confident  boasting. 

5  Therefore  I  thought  it  neces- 
sary to  ^exhort  the  brethren,  that 
they  would  go  before  unto  you, 
and  make  up  beforehand  your 
''•'l:)ounty,  whereof  ye  had  notice 
before,  that  the  same  might  be 
ready,  as  a  matter  of  bounty, 
and  not  as  of  covetousness. 

6  But  this  I  say,  '^Ile  which 
'soweth  sparingly  shall  'reap  al- 
so sparingly;  and^he  which  sow- 
eth  '^bountifully  shall  reap  also 
bountifully.

them  for  stretching  themselves  beyond  their 
measure,  and  for  boasting  themselves  of 
other  men's  labors. 

NOW  I  "Paul  myself  beseech 
you    by    the    ''■'^meekness 
I  and  *gentleness  of  Christ,  who 


in  presence  am  ^■''■'^base  among 
you,  but  being  absent  am  ^"'bold 
toward  you: 

2  But  I  beseech  you,  that  I  may 
not  be  bold  when  I  am  present 
with  that  confidence,  wherewith 
I  think  to  be  bold  against  some, 
which  think  of  us  as  if  we  walked 
according  to  the  "flesh: 

3  For  though  we  walk  in  the 
"flesh,  we  do  not  war  after  the 
flesh: 

4  (For  the  ''•'weapons  of  our 
warfare  are  not  ^-"carnal,  but 
mighty  through  God  to  tlie  ]>ull- 
ing  down  of  strong  holds;) 

5  'Casting  down  ^imaginations, 
and  every  'high  thing  thut  "'ex- 
alte th  itself  against  the  "knowl- 
edge of  God,  and  bringing  into 
"captivity  every  thought  to  the 
obedience  of  ''Christ; 

6  And  having  in  a  readiness  to 
''revenge  all  disobedience,  when 
your  obedience   is  fulfilled. 

7  Do  ye  look  on  things  after  the 
outward  appearance  ?  If  any 
man  "trust  to  himself  that  he  is 
Christ's,  let  him  of  himself  think 
this  again,  that,  as  he  is  Christ's, 
even  so  are  we  Christ's. 

8  For  though  I  should  ^boast 
somewhat  more  of  our  ''author- 
ity, which  the  Lord  hath  given 
us  for  edification,  and  not  for 
your  destruction,  I  should  not  be 
ashamed: 

9  That  I  may  not  seem  as  if  I 
would  terrify  you  by  letters. 

10  For  his  letters,  say  they,  are 
weighty  and  powerful;  but  ^his 
bodily  presence  is  weak,  and  his 
speech  ^contemptible. 

11  Let  such  an  one  think  this, 
that,  such  as  we  are  in  word  by 
letters  when  we  are  absent,  such 
icill  v:e  be  also  in  deed  when  we 
are  present. 

12  For  we  ^dare  not  make  our- 
selves   of  the  number,  or  com-

according  to  the  measure  of  the

to  us,  a  measure  to  reach  even

also  in  ^preaching  the  ^gospel  of

the  regions  beyond  you,  and  not 
to  'boast  in  another  man's  line  of

CHAPTER  11 

The  apostle's  Jralnus//  over  them.  He  is 
not  behind  the  cliirfest  nf  the  apostles.  7 
His  preaching  the  onspel  freclu  to  them. 
i;t  The  false  apostles.  16  He  asks  to  be 
indnlned  in  boastino  himself  a  little:  21 
and  shews  that,  in  respect  to  birth,  he  was 
not  inferior  to  those  deceitful  workers,  23 
and,  as  to  sufferings  and  labors  for 
Christ,  far  superior. 

WOULD  to  God  "ye  could 
bear  with  *me  'a  little  in 
mij  folly:  and  indeed  bear  with 
me. 

2  For  I  am  '^jealous  over  you 
with  godly  jealousy:  for  I  have 
''espoused  *'^you  to  one  hu.sband, 
''that  I  may  present  you  as  a 
chaste  ^virgin  to  Christ. 

3  But  I  fear,  lest  by  any  means, 
as  Hhe  ^'^''serpent  beguiled 
'"•"Eve  through  his  "subtilty,  so 


your  minds  should  be  corrupted 
from  the  "simplicity  ^that  is  in 
Christ. 

4  For  if 'he  that  cometh  'preach- 
eth  "another  Je'siis,  whom  we 
have  not  preached,  or  ij  ye  re- 
ceive another  spirit,  which  yc 
have  not  received,  or  another 
gospel,  which  ye  have  not  ac- 
cepted, ye  might  well  bear  with 
//  im. 

5  For  *I  suppose  'I  was  not 
a  whit  behind  the  very  chiefest 
apostles. 

6  But  thougli  /  he  rude  in 
speech,  yet  not  in  "knowledge; 
^but  we  have  been  throughly 
made  manifest  among  you  in 
all   things. 

7  Have  I  committed  an  of- 
fence in  abasing  myself  that  ye 
might  be  exalted,  because  I  have 
'■preached  to  you  the  ''gospel  of 
God  ^freely  ? 

8  I  robbed  other  churches, 
"'taking  wages  of  them,  to  do 
you  service. 

9  And  when  I  was  present  with 
you,  and  wanted,  I  was  charge- 
able to  no  man:  for  "'that  which 
was  lacking  to  me  the  brethren 
which  came  from  ^jMa^-e-dd'- 
m-a  supplied:  and  in  all  tilings 
I  have  kept  myself  from  being 
l)urdensome  unto  you,  and  so 
will  I  keep  mi/self. 

10  As  the  truth  of  Christ  is  in 
me,  no  man  shall  stop  me  of  this 
boasting  in  the  regions  of  ^A- 
cha'ia. 

1 1  Wherefore  ?  because  I  ^love 
you  not  ?    God  "kiioweth. 

12  But  what  I  do,  that  I  will  do, 
that  I  may  cut  off  occasion  from 
them  which  desire  occasion;  that 
wherein  they  glory,  they  may  be 
found  even  as  we. 

13  For  such  are  Hiihc  apostles, 
Meceitful  workers,  ''-''transform- 
ing themselves  into  the  apostles 
of  Christ. 

14  And  no  marvel;  for  ''Sa'tan

think  me  a  ^fool;  if  otherwise, 
yet  as  a  fool  receive  me,  that  I 
ma^  boast  myself  a  little. 

17  That  which  I  speak,  I  speak 
it  not  after  the  Lord,  but  as  it 
were  foolishly,  in  this  confidence

IS  Seeing  that  many  glory  after 
the  flesh,  I  will  glory  also.

any  is  bold,  (I  speak  foolishly,) 
1  am  bold  also.

2  I  knew  a  man  in  Christ  above 
fourteen  years  ago,  C^whether 
in  the  body,  I  cannot  tell;  or 
whether  out  of  the  body,  I 
cannot  tell:  God  knoweth;)  such 
an  one  caught  up  to  the  third 
'^heaven. 

3  And  I  knew  such  a  man, 
('^whether  in  the  body,  or  out  of 
the  body,  I  cannot  tell:  God 
knowetli;) 

4  How  that  he  was  caught  up 
into  ^paradise,  and  heard  ^un- 
speakable 'words,  which,  it  is  not 
lawful  for  a  man  to  utter. 

5  Of  such  an  one  will  I  glory: 
yet  "of  myself  I  will  not  glory, 
but  in  mine  infirmities. 

6  For  though  I  would  desire  to 
glory,  I  shall  not  be  ^afool;  for 
I  will  say  the  ''truth:  but  now 
I  forbear,  ''lest  any  man  should 
think  of  me  above  that  which  he 
seeth  me  to  be,  or  that  he  heareth 
of  me. 

7  And  ^•''lest  ''I  should  be  'ex- 
alted above  measure  through  the 
abundance  of  the  *revelations, 
'there  was  given  to  me  a  ^•Hhorn 
in  the  flesh,  the  '"mes.senger  of 
"•^Sa'tan  to  buffet  me,  lest  I 
should  be  exalted  above  mea.s- 
ure. 

8  For  ^this  tiling  I  'besought 
the  Lord  thrice,  that  it  might 
depart  from  me. 

9  And  he  ''said  unto  me,  *My 


'•"grace  is  sufficient  for  thee:  for 
my  ^strength  is  made  perfect  in 
weakness.  "'•  -^Most  gladly  there- 
fore will  I  rather  glory  in  my 
infirmities,  that  the  ^power  of 
Christ  may  rest  upon  me. 

10  Therefore  ^"I  take  ^pleasure 
in  *^infirmities,  in  reproaches,  in 
necessities,  in  '^persecutions,  in 
distresses  *for  Christ's  sake:  far 
^when  I  am  weak,  then  am  I 
strong. 

Ill  am  become  *a  fool  in  glory- 
ing; ye  have  compelled  me:  for  I 
ought  to  have  been  commended 
of  you:  for  ^in  nothing  am  I  be- 
hind the  'very  chiefest  apostles, 
though  I  be  nothing. 

12  "Truly  the  signs  of  an  apos- 
tle were  wrought  among  you  in 
all  ''patience,  in  'signs,  and  won- 
ders, and  mighty  deeds. 

13  For  Avhat  is  it  wherein  'ye 
were  inferior  to  other  churches, 
except  it  be  that  *I  myself  was 
'not  burdensome  to  you  ?  forgive 
me  this  wrong. 

14  Behold,  the  third  time  °I 
am  ready  to  come  to  you;  and 
A  J  w.»will  not  be  burdensome 
to  you:  for  I  "seek  not  your's, 
but  you:  for  the  children  ought 
not  to  lay  up  for  the  ^parents, 
but  the  parents  for  the  chil- 
dren.

CHAPTER  13 

The  apostle  threatens  obstinate  offenders.  5 
Exhorts  to  self-examination,  7  and  to  a 
reformation  of  life.  11  Concludes  his 
epistle  with  a  general  exhortation,  a  salu- 
tation, and  benediction. 

THIS  is  the  third  time  °'*I 
am  coming  to  'you.  ''•^In 
the  mouth  of  two  or  three  ''wit- 
nesses shall  every  word  be  estab- 
lished. 

2  I  told  you  before,  and  foretell 
vou,  as  if  T  were  present,  tlie  sec- 


ond time;  and  being  absent  now 
I  write  to  them  which  heretofore 
have  sinned,  and  to  all  other, 
that,  if  I  come  again,  *'"!  will  not 
spare : 

3  Since  ye  seek  a  proof  of  Christ 
speaking  in  me,  which  to  you- 
ward  is  not  weak,  but  is  mighty 
in  you. 

4  For  though  he  was  ''•^cruci- 
fied  through  weakness,  yet  he 
^liveth  by  the  ^power  of  God. 
For  we  also  are  weak  in  him,  but 
we  shall  live  with  him  by  the 
power  of  God  toward  you. 

5  *''Examineyourselvcs,  wheth- 
er ye  be  in  the  '"faith;  prove  your 
own  selves.  Know  ye  not  your 
own  selves,  how  that  Je'sus 
"Christ  is  in  "you,  except  ye  be 
^reprobates  ? 

6  But  I  trust  that  yc  shall  know 
that  we  are  not  ^reprobates. 

7  Now  'I  ''pray  to  God  that  ye 
*do  no  evil;  ''"not  that  we  should 
appear  approved,  but  "that  ye 
should  do  that  which  is  4ionest, 
though  we  be  as  reproljates. 

8  For  we  can  do  nothing  against 
the  ^''truth,  but  for  the  truth. 

9  For  "we  are  glad,  when  we 
are  weak,  and  ye  are  strong:  and 
this  also  we  wish,  even  your 
^' ^perfection, 

10  Therefore  ''I  write  these 
things  being  absent,  lest  being 
present  I  should  use  sharpness, 
according  to  the  ^power  which 
the  Lord  hath  given  me  to  edi- 
fication, and  not  to  destruction. 

11  Finally,  brethren,  farewell. 
"Be  *•  ^perfect,  be  of  good  com- 
fort, be  of  ^one  mind,  "live  in 
''peace;  and  ^the  God  of  ''love 
and  ^peace  shall   be  ^vith  you.   "  feTIg-?.''"'""''

THE  EPISTLE  OF   PAUL  TO   THE 


A.D.  58 


CHAPTER  1 

The  apostle's  salutation.  6  He  marvels  that 
they  are  so  soon  turned  to  another  gospel, 
8  and  accurses  those  that  preach  any  other 
gospel  than  he  did.  1 1  He  learned  the 
gospel  not  of  men.  but  of  Cod.  13  What 
he  was  before  his  conversion,  15  and  what 
he  did  immediately  after  it. 

"^T^AUL,  an  apostle,  (not  of 
-L  men,  neither  by  man,  but 
*''^by  Je'.sus  Christ,  and  God  the 
'^Father,  who  ^raised  him  from 
tiie  dead;) 

2  And  all  the  ^brethren  which 
are  with  me,  unto  the  "churches 
of  ''Ga-la'tia: 

3  i.i,  ^^Grace  he  to  you  and*peace 
from  God  the  '^Father,  and  jrom 
our  'Lord  Je'sus  Christ, 

4  Who  '"•"gave  "himself  ^-'for 
our  sins,  that  he  might  "•''deliver 
us  from  this  present  evil  world, 
according  to  the  *will  of  God  and 
our  '^Father: 

5  To  whom  he  'glory  for  ever 
and  ever.   Amen.

there  be  ^some  that  trouble  you,

of  Christ. 

8  But  though  we,  or  an  "angel 
from  heaven,  *preach  any  other 
gospel  unto  you  than  ''that  which 
we  have  preached  unto  you,  ''let 
him  be  -■ ''accursed. 

9  As  we  said  before,  so  say  ^I 
now  again.  If  any  ^man  preach 
any  other  gospel  unto  you  than 
"^that  ye  have  received,  ''let  him 
be  ^•''accursed. 

10  ''For  do  T  now  ^persuade 
men,  or  God  ?  or  do  I  seek  to 
'please  men  ?  for  if  I  yet  pleased 
men,  I  should  not  be  the  servant 
of  Christ. 

11  But  T  certify  you,  breth- 
ren, that  the  "gospel  which  was 
^preached  of  me  is  not  after  man. 

12  For  ^'  ''I  neither  received  it  of 
man,  neither  was  I  'taught  if,  but 
^bythe  revelationof  Je'.sus  Christ.

in  mine  own  nation,  being  more 
exceedingly  ^^zealous  of  the 
'^tratlitions  of  my  fathers. 

15  But  when  it  pleased  God, 
who  separated  me  from  my 
mother's  womb,  and  *• 'called  mc 
by  his  "grace, 

16  To  reveal  his  ''Son  in  me, 
that  I  might  ''preach  him  among 
the  ^■"'heathen;  immediately  I 
conferred  not  with  flesh  and 
blood: 

17  Neither  went  I  up  to  ^Je- 
rii'sfi-lem  to  them  which  were 
apostles  before  me;  but  I  went 
into  ^A-ra'bi-a,  and  returned 
again    unto    ^Da-mas'cus. 

18  Then  after  three  years  "I 
went  up  to  *Je-rii'sa-lem  to  see 
''Pester,  and  abode  with  him  fif- 
teen days. 

19  But  other  of  the  '^apostles 
saw  I  none,  save  *Jame§  the 
Lord's   'brother. 

20  Now  the  things  which  I 
write  unto  you,  behold,  ''before 
God,  I  lie  not. 

21  Afterwards  I  came  into  the 
regions  of  ''Syr'i-a  and  ■'■(^i-li'^ia; 

22  x\nd  was  unknown  by  face 
unto  the  'cliurches  of  ^Ju-dse'a 
which  were  in  Christ: 

2.3  But  they  had  heard  only, 
That  he  which  ^persecuted  us  in 
times  past  now  'preacheth  the 
'"faith  ^which  once  he  destroyed. 

24  And  they  "glorified  God  in 
me. 

CHAPTER  2 

Tlie  apostle  shews  tvhen  and  for  what  pur- 
pose he  went  up  afjain  to  Jerusalem:  3  that 
Titus  was  not  compelled  to  be  circumcised; 
11  and  Hint  he  withstood  Peter  at  Antiocli 
for  his  dissimulation,  14  because,  throuoh 
fear  of  the  Jeivs,  he  acted  as  if  juslifjcntion 
came  by  works  of  law.  20  His  life  by  the 
faith  of  the  Son  of  God. 

THEN  fourteen  years  after  °I 
went  up  again  to  *Je-rii'- 
sa-lCm  with  ^Bar'na-bas,  and  took 
'^Ti'tus  with  me  also. 


2  And  I  went  up  by  *- 'revela- 
tion, and  communicated  unto 
them  that  ''gospel  which  I 
^preach  among  the  *Gen'tlle.s, 
but  privately  to  them  which  were 
of  reputation,  lest  by  any  means 
I  should  'run,  or  had  run,  in 
vain. 

3  But  neither  "^Tl'tus,  who  was 
with  me,  being  a  *Greek,  was 
compelled  to  be  'circumcised: 

4  And  that  because  of  '"•"false 
brethren  Hmawares  brought  in, 
who  came  in  privily  to  "spy  out 
our  ^liberty  which  we  have  in 
Christ  Je'sus,  that  they  might 
bring  us  into  bondage: 

5  To  whom  we  gave  place  l>y 
subjection,  no,  not  for  an  hour; 
that  the  truth  of  the  ^gospel 
might  continue  with  you. 

6  But  of  these  who  seemed  to 
be  somewhat,  (whatsoever  they 
were,  it  maketh  no  matter  to  me: 
'God  acce])teth  no  man's  per- 
son:) ^for  they  who  seemed  to  be 
somewhat  in  conference  added 
nothing  to  me: 

7  But  contrariwise,  when  they 
saw  that  the  gospel  of  the  uncir- 
cumcision  was  'committed  unto 
me,  as  the  gospel  of  the  circum- 
cision was  'unto  'Pe'ter; 

8  (For  he  that  wrought  ^effec- 
tually in  '■Pe'ter  to  the  apostle- 
ship  of  the  'circumcision,  the 
same  was  mighty  in  me  toward 
the  '(jen'tiles:) 

9  And  when  "James,  '"(^e'phas, 
and  ''John,  wlio  seemed  to  be 
pillars,  perceived  the  grace  that 
was  given  unto  me,  "'they  gave 
to  me  and  Bar'na-bas  the  right 
hands  of  ^fellowship;  that  we 
should  '"rjo  unto  the  ^-'heathen, 
and  they  unto  the  'circumcision. 

10  Only  ""'thcij  would  that  we 
should  ^remember  the  "poor;  the 
same  which  *!  also  was  ^forward 
to  do.

to  '^An'ti-5ch,  "I  withstood  him 
to  the  face,  because  he  "was  to 
be  blamed. 

12  For  before  that  certain 
came  from  '^Jame.s,  'lie  'did  eat 
with  the  ''Gen'tlle.s :  but  when 
they  were  come,  he  ^withdrew 
and  separated  himself,  ''fearing 
"^•'them  which  were  of  the  cir- 
cumcision. 

13  iVnd  the  other  'Jew.s  *•  ^dis- 
sembled likewise  with  him;  inso- 
much that  '"Bar'na-bas  also  was 
"carried  away  with  their  dissim- 
ulation. 

14  But  when  I  saw  that  they 
walked  not  uprightly  according 
to  the  truth  of  the  "gospel,  I 
''•'said  unto  '^Pe'ter  before  tJicm 
all.  If  diou,  being  a  Mew,  livest 
after  the  manner  of  ^Gen'tile.s, 
and  not  as  do  the  Jew.s,  why 
compellest  thou  the  Oen'tlles  to 
live  as  do  the  Jew.s  ? 

15  We  who  are  'Jew.s  by  na- 
ture, and  not  sinners  of  the 
"Gen'tile.s, 

16  Knowing  that  a  man  is  not 
''justified  by  the  *works  of  the 
'law,  but  "by  the  "faith  of  Je'sus 
"Christ,  even  we  have  believed 
in  Jc'.sus  Christ,  that  we  might 
be  justified  l)y  the  faith  of  Christ, 
and  not  by  tlie  works  of  the  law: 
for  by  the  works  of  the  law  shall 
no  flesh  be  justified. 

17  But  if,  while  we  s(>ek  to  be 
"justified  by  Christ,  we  ourselves 
also  are  found  sinners,  V.v  there- 
fore Christ  the  minister  of  sin  ? 
God  forl)id. 

18  For  if  I  build  again  the 
things  which  I  destroyed,  I  make 
myself  a  tran.sgressor. 

19  For  I  through  the  ^law  a-m 
dead  to  the  law,  that  I  might 
^'  ^live  unto  God. 

20  'I  am  "crucified  with  Christ: 
nevertheless  I  'live;  yet  not  I, 
but  Christ  liveth  in  "^me:  and  the 
life  which  I  now  live  in  the  flesh 
I  live  bv  the  ''faith  of  the  ''Son  of 


1605 


God,  who  ''loved  me,  and  "•''mive 
himself  for  me. 
21  I  do  not  frustrate  the  *grace 
of  God:  for  if  'righteousness  comi: 
by  the  ^law,  then  Christ  is  dead 
in  vain. 

CHAPTER  3 

Tlie  apostle  reproves  them  for  being  drawn 
away  from  the  simplicity  of  the  gospel:  6 
and  shews  that  those  who  believe  are  Justi- 
fied, 9  and  blessed  with  faithful  Abraham. 
24  The  law  was  our  schoolmaster.  28 
Unity  of  believers  in  Christ. 

0  FOOLISH  Ga-la'tian,s,  who 
hath  "  "bewitched  you,  Hhiit 
ye  should  not  obey  the  ''truth,  be- 
fore whose  eyes  Je'sus  Clirlst 
hath  been  evidently  ''set  forth, 
''crucified  among  you  ? 

2  This  only  would  I  learn  of 
you,  Received  ye  the  ^S[nrit  by 
the  "works  of  the  ''law,  or  by  the 
hearing  of  *faith  ? 

3  Are  ye  so  foolish  ?  having  be- 
gun i:z  the  ^Spirit,  are  ye  now- 
made  perfect  by  the  flesh  ? 

4  Have  ye  suffered  so  many 
things  in  vain  ?  if  it  be  yet  in 
vain. 

5  He  therefore  that  ^minister- 
eth  to  you  the  ^Spirit,  and  work- 
eth  'miracles  among  you,  doetit 
he  it  by  the  works  of  tlie  ''law,  or 
by  the  hearing  of  'faitli  ? 

6  Even  as  ^A'bra-hrun  'believed 
God,  and  it  was  accounted  to  him 
for  '"•"righteousne.ss. 

7  Know  ye  theix'fore  that  tliey 
which  are  of  4'aith,  the  .same  are 
the  "children  of  ''A'brri-ham. 

8  And  the  ''scrijjture,  foi-e.see- 
ing  that  (Jod  would  "justify 
the  ^  '^heathen  tli rough  ''^faitli, 
preached  ^bef(H-e  the  *gospel  un- 
to ^'A'brji-lulm,  .s-at/ing,  In  thee 
sliall  all   'nations  be  blessed. 

9  So  then  they  which  be  of  'faith 
are  ble.s.sed  with  "faithful  ^A'- 
bra-hjim. 

10  For  as  many  as  are  of  the 
''works  of  the  ''law  are  under  the 
"curse:  for  it  is  written,  ''•"'Cur.sed 
is   every    one    that   ^eontinueth

not  in  all  things  which  are  written 
in  the  book  of  the  law  to  do  them. 

11  But  that  no  man  is  "justified 
by  the  law  in  the  sight  of  God,  it 
is  evident:  for,  The  ^-"just  shall 
live  by  ^faidi. 

12  And  the  law  is  not  of  ^faith: 
l:)ut.  The  man  that  "doeth  them 
sliall  live  in  them. 

13  ''Christ  hath  ''redeemed  us 
from  the  curse  of  the  law,  ''•^be- 
ing made  a  curse  ''■''for  us:  for  it 
is  written,  ''Cursed  is  every  one 
tliat  'hangeth  on  a  tree: 

14  That  the  ^blessing  of  '•'A'bra- 
ham  might  come  on  the  ^Gen'- 
tiles  '"through  Je'gus  Christ;  that 
we  might  receive  the  promise  of 
the  '^Spirit  through  "faith. 

15  Brethren,  I  speak  after  the 
manner  of  men;  Though  it  be 
but  a  man's  ^covenant,  yet  if  if 
be  confirmed,  no  man  disannul- 
leth,  or  addeth  thereto. 

16  Now  to  ''^A'bra-h§,m  and  his 
seed  were  the  *■ ''promises  made. 
He  saith  not,  And  to  seeds,  as  of 
many;  but  as  of  one,  And  to  thy 
^seed,  which  is  Christ. 

17  And  this  1  say,  that  the  'cov- 
enant, that  was  confirmed  before 
of  God  ®in  Christ,  the  'law, 
which  was  "four  hundred  and 
thirty  years  after,  cannot  dis- 
annul, that  it  should  make  the 
promise  of  none  effect. 

18  For  if  the  ''inheritance  be  of 
tlie  law,  it  is  no  more  of  "'prom- 
ise: but  God  gave  it  to  ^A'bra- 
ham  by  ""promise. 

19  '^Wherefore  then  serveth  the 
^law  ?     It    was    added  because 

18  V  Inheritance,  Num.  27:7.     w  Grace  of  God,  Rom.  4:16. 

19  X  Law,  of  Moses,  temporary,  Deut.  33:2.      7  R.  V.  What  then 

is  the  law? 


of  ^transgressions,  till  the  *seed 
should  come  to  whom  the  prom- 
ise was  made;  and  it  was  or- 
dained by  ^angels  in  the  hand  of 
a  *• '^mediator. 

20  Now  a  *mediator  is  not 
a  mediator  of  one,  but  God  is 
''one. 

21  Is  die  ''law  then  against  the 
''promises  of  God  ?  God  forbid : 
for  if  there  had  been  a  law  given 
which  could  have  given  life,  ver- 
ily ^righteousness  should  have 
been  by  the  ''law. 

22  ^But  the  scripture  hath  con- 
cluded all  under  ''sin,  that  the 
''promise  by  'faith  of  Je'.sus 
Christ  might  be  given  to  them 
that  believe. 

23  But  before  ^' 'faith  came,  we 
were  kept  ''under  the  'law,  shut 
up  unto  the  '•  ''faith  which  should 
afterwards  be  revealed. 

24  Wherefore  the  ''law  was  our 
^"-'schoolmaster  to  bring  its  unto 
Christ,  that  we  might  be  ''justi- 
fied by  *faith. 

25  But  after  that  ^-^faith  is 
come,  we  are  no  longer  under  a 
^''''' 'schoolmaster. 

26  For  '"ye  are  all  the  "•  "chil- 
dren of  God  by  'faith  in  Christ 
Je'.sus. 

27  For  as  many  of  you  as  have 
Vjeen  ^baptized  into  Christ  have 
put  on  Christ. 

28  'There  is  ''neither  *Jew  nor 
'Greek,  there  is  neither  bond  nor 
free,  there  is  neither  male  nor 
female:  for  ye  are  all  "'•"one  in 
Christ  Je'sus. 

29  And  if  ye  be  Christ's,  then 
are  ye  "A'brS.-ham's  seed,  and

CHAPTER  4 

ire  were  under  the  law  till  Christ  came,  as 
the  heir  i.s  under  his  guardian  till  he  is  of 
age.  5  But  Christ  ireed  us  from  the  law: 
7  therefore  we  are  no  longer  servants  to  it. 
14  He  remembers  their  good  will  to  him: 
22  and  shews  that  we  a'C  Abraham's  .srcd 
accordmj  to  the  promise. 

ATOW  I  say,  That  the  "heir,  as 


i> 


long  as  he  is  a  ^child,  dif- 


feivth  nothing  from  a  ^' '^servant, 
thou>j;h  he  be  lord  of  all; 

2  But  is  under  ^■'^tutors  and 
governors  until  tlie  time  ap- 
pointed of  the  father. 

3  Even  so  we,  when  we  were 
children,  were  in  bondage  under 
the  ^elements  of  the  world: 

4  But  when  the  fulness  of  the 
time  was  come,  God  sent  forth 
'his  ^Son,  *'^made  of  a  woman, 
made  under  the  ''law, 

5  ^To  ^redeem  them  that  were 
under  the  ''■  ^law,  that  we  might 
receive  the  'adoption  of  sons. 

6  And  beca  use  ye  are  'sons, "'  God 
hath  sent  forth  the '"•"Spirit  of  his 
^''"Son  "into  ^your  hearts,  crying, 
Ab'ba,  ^Father. 

7  Wherefore  thou  art  ^no  more 
a  ^servant,  but  a  'son;  and  if 
a  son,  then  an  ''heir  of  God 
^through  Christ. 

8  Howbeit  then,  when  ye  *knew 
not  God,  ye  *''did  service  unto 
tliem  which  by  nature  are  no 
gods. 

9  But  now,  after  that  ye  have 
"known  God,  or  ratlier  are 
"•'"known  of  God,  how  ^•"•^turn 
ve  again  to  the  '^weak  and  beg- 
garly ^elements,  whereunto  ye 
desire  again  to  be  in  bondage  ? 

10  Ye  observe  days,  and 
months,   and  times,  and  years. 

Ill  am  afraid  of  ycni,  lest  T 
have  bestowed  upon  you  labour 
in  vain. 

12  ''Brctlircii,  I  l)eseech  you,  be 

'of,

\'i     b  Love,    of   man    for 


^as  I  am;  for  I  am  as  ye  are:  ye 
^have  not  injured  me  at  all. 

13  Ye  know  "^how  through  in- 
firmity of  the  flesh  I  ''preached 
the  '■gospel  unto  you  at  tlie  first. 

14  And  'hny  ''temptation  which 
was  in  my  flesh  ye  despised  not, 
nor  rejected;  but  ''received  me  as 
an  angel  of  God,  even  as  Christ 
Je'sus. 

15  Where  ^"is  then  the  blessed- 
ness ye  spake  of  ?  for  I  bear  you 
record,  that,  if  it  had  been  possi- 
ble, ^ye  would  have  plucked  out 
your  own  eyes,  and  have  given 
them  to  me. 

16  Asa  I  therefore  become  your 
enemy,  because  I  ''tell  you  the 
'truth  ? 

17  •'They  ''zealously  ^^affect  you, 
hut  not  well;  yea,  they  would  ex- 
clude you,  that  ye  might  affect 
them. 

1 8  But  it  is  good  to  be  ^zealously 
'^affected  always  in  a  good  thing, 
and  not  only  when  T  am  present 
with  you. 

19  jNIy  little  children,  of  whom 
I  travail  in  birth  again  until 
Christ  be  formed  in  you, 

20  I  desire  to  be  present  with 
you  now,  and  to  change  my 
voice;  for  I  '^stand  in  doubt  of 
you. 

21  Tell  me,  ye  that  desire  to  be 
under  the  law,  do  ye  not  hear  the 
law  ? 

22  For  it  is  written,  that  "'A'- 
bra-ham  had  two  "'"sons,  the 
^one  by  a  '•'^boiidmaid,  the  other 
by  a  ■'freewoman. 

23  But  "he  who  was  of  the 
"•Hjondwoman  was  born  after 
the  flesh;  but  "he  of  the  *free- 
woman  was  by  promise. 

24  Wliich  things  '"are  an  Alle- 
gory: for  ^'^these  are  the  two 
covenants;  the  'one  from  the 
mount  ''Si'nai,  which  gendereth 
to  bondage,  which  is  ''A'gar.

25  For  this  'A'gar  is  mount 
"Si'nai  in  A-ra'bi-a,  and  answer- 
eth  to  Je-rii'sa-lem  which  now 
is,  and  is  in  bondage  with  her 
children. 

26  But  ''Je-rii'sa-lem  which  is 
above  is  free,  which  is  ^^the 
mother  of  us  all. 

27  For  it  is  written,  '"•  ^Rejoice, 
tJiou  barren  that  bearest  not; 
break  forth  and  cry,  thou  that 
travailest  not;  for  the  desolate 
hath  many  more  children  than 
she  which  hath  an  husband. 

28  Now  we,  brethren,  as  "P- 
■saac  was,  are  the  children  of 
promise. 

29  But  as  then  "-^he  that  was 
born  after  the  flesh  ^persecuted 
"him  that  was  horn  after  the 
Spirit,  even  so  it  is  now. 

30  Nevertheless  what  saith  the 
scripture  ?  ^Cast  out  tlie  "bond- 
woman and  her  ''son:  for  the  son 
of  the  bondwoman  shall  not  be 
''heir  with  tlie  "son  of  the  '^free- 
woman. 

31  So  then,  brethren,  we  are  not 
children  of  the  bondwoman,  but 
of  the  >«'^free. 


CHAPTER  5 

The  apostle  urges  them  to  stand  fast  in  their 
liberty,  3  and  not  to  observe  circumcision: 
13  but  by  lore  to  serve  one  another.  19 
He  reckons  up  the  icorks  of  the  fiesh,  22 
and  the  fruits  of  the  Spirit,  25  and  exhorts 
'o  walk  in  the  Spirit. 


a,  b 


STAND  '^•'^fast  tlierefore  in 
the  ^liberty  wherewitli 
'Christ  hath  made  us  free,  and 
be  not  entangled  again  with  the 
''yoke  of  bontlage. 

2  Behold,  I  '^Paul  say  unto 
you,  that  if  ye  be  ^-'circum- 
cised,  Christ  shall  profit  you 
nothing. 

3  For  I  testify  again  to  every 
man  that  is  circumcised,  that  he 
is  a  debtor  to  do  the  whole  *law. 

4  'Christ  is  become  of  no  ef- 
fect unto  you,  whosoever  of  you 
are  ^justified  by  the  '''law;  ye  are 
'"fallen  from  grace.

5  For  we  through  the  "Spirit 
wait  for  the  "hope  of  ^righteous- 
ness by  ^faith. 

6  For  in  Je'sus  Christ  nei- 
ther ^'^circuiiicision  availeth  any 
thing,  nor  uncircumcision;  but 
'faith  %hich  worketh  by  ''love. 

7  Ye  did  *run  well;  Hvho  did 
"•^hinder  you  that  ye  should 
'"not  obey  the  ^truth  ? 

8  This  persuasion  cometh  not  of 
him  that  ^calleth  you. 

9  A  little  ^■"•''leaven  leaveneth 
the  whole  lump. 

10  I  have  confidence  in  you 
through  the  Lord,  that  ye  will  be 
none  otherwise  minded :  but  '^-''he 
that  troubleth  you  shall  bear  his 
judgment,  whosoever  he  be. 

11  And  I,  brethren,  if  I  yet 
*])reach  -'circumcision,  why  do  I 
yet  suffer  ^persecution  ?  then  ^is 
the  ''offence  of  the'^-^cross  ceased. 

12  I  would  *they  were  even 
''cut  off  which  trouble  you. 

13  For,  brethren,  ye  have  been 
called  unto  ^-'liberty;  only  use 
not  ^liberty  for  an  occasion  to 
the  flesh,  but  by  '"love  "serve  one 
another. 

14  For  all  the  "law  is  fulfilled  in 
one  word,  even  in  this;  ^-'Thou 
shalt  ''love  thy  ^neighbour  as  thy- 
self. 

15  But  if  ye  'bite  and  devour 
one  another,  ta;ke  heed  that  ye  be 
not  consumed  one  of  another. 

16  This  I  say  then,  "Walk  in 
the  ^'Spirit,  and  ye  shall  "'not  ful- 
fil the  ^lust  of  the  flesh. 

17  For  the  ^/flesh  ^lusteth 
against  the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit 
against  the  flesh:  and  tliese  are 
contrary  the  one  to  the  other:  so 
that  ye  cannot  do  the  things  that 
ye  would.

CHAPTER  2 

Their  former  state.  4  God's  great  mercy  in 
their  deliverance.  10  They  are  created  in 
Christ  Jesus  unto  good  works.  11  Where- 
fore he  reminds  them  of  their  former  alien- 
ation, 13  and  exhorts  them,  being  now 
made  nigh  by  the  blood  of  Christ,  19  to  live 
not  as  aliens,  but  as  fellow  citizens  with 
the  saints. 

AND  you  'hath  he  "■^■'■"quick- 
ened, who  were  ^''dead  in 
trespasses  and  ''sins; 

2  Wherein  in  time  past  ye  walk- 
ed according  to  the  course  of 
this  world,  according  to  the 
''prince  of  the  power  of  the  air, 
the  spirit  that  now  worketh  in 
the  ^children  of  disobedience: 

3  Among  whom  also  we  all  ^had 
our  conversation  in  times  past 
in  the  *lusts  of  our  flesh,  fulfill- 
ing the  desires  of  the  flesh  and  of 
the  -mind;  and  were  by  ''^nature 
the  ''children  of  wrath,  even  as 
others. 

4  But  God,  who  is  rich  in 
'mercy,  for  his  great  '"love  where- 
with he  loved  us, 

5  Even  when  we  were  ^-'dead 
^in  ''sins,  hath  *• ''•'^quickened  us 
together  with  Christ,  (by  "grace 
■*ye  are  "saved;) 

6  And  hath  raised  us  up  to- 
gether, and  made  tis  sit  ''to- 
gether in  heavenly  places  ''in 
Christ  Je'.sus: 

7  ''That  in  the  ages  to  come  he 
might  shew  the  exceeding  riches 
of  his  'grace  in  his  ^kindness  to- 
ward us  through  Christ  Je'.sus. 

8  For  by  "grace  *are  ye  "saved 
through  'faith;  and  that  not  of 
yourselves:  it  is  the  "gift  of  God: 

9  Not  of  "works,  ^lest  any  man 
should  ""boast. 

10  For  we  are  %is  workman- 
ship, created  in  Christ  Je'sus 
unto  good  ^works,  which  God 
®hath  before  ^' ^ordained  that  we 
should  walk  in  them.

"Uncircumcision  by  that  which 
is  called  the  ''Circumcision  in 
the  flesh  made  by  hands; 

12  That  at  that  time  ye  were 
'"without  Christ,  being  '^aliens 
from  the  commonwealth  of  !§'- 
ra-el,  and  '^strangers  from  the 
''covenants  of  promise,  "^having 
no  *hope,  and  '^without  God  in 
the  world: 

13  But  now  ^in  Christ  Je'sus  ye 
%ho  sometimes  were  far  off  are 
made  nigh  "by  the  ''■'^blood  of 
Christ. 

14  For  he  is  our  'peace,  who 
hath  *made  both  '^'one,  and  hath 
broken  down  the  middle  wall  of 
partition  hetween  us; 

15  'Having  abolished  in  his 
flesh  the  enmity,  eiien  the  'law  of 
commandments  contained  in  or- 
dinances; for  to  make  in  him.self 
of  twain  '^one  new  man,  so  mak- 
ing '-'"peace; 

16  And  that  he  might  "reconcile 
both  unto  God  in  one  body  by 
the  "'"cross,  having  slain  the  en- 
mity thereby: 

17  And  came  and  ^preached 
'peace  to  you  which  were  afar 
off,  and  to  them  that  were  nigh. 

18  For  "through  'him  we  both 
have  ''aceess  by  one  ^-^Spirit  un- 
to the  *• 'Father. 

19  Now  therefore  ye  are  no 
more  strangers  and  ^foreign- 
ers,  but  "fellowcitizens  with  the 
saints,  and  "of  the  ""household  of 
God; 

20  And  are  built  upon  the 
^foundation  of  the  Apostles  and

being  the  chief  ^corner  stone-,

3  The  salvation  of  the  Gentiles  revealed  to 
him  and  to  the  other  apostles.  8  His  spe-

Gentiles.  13  Wherefore  he  desires  them 
not  to  faint  at  his  Iribulalions,  and  prays 
thai  they  may  be  able  to  comprehend  the 
great  love  of  Christ  toiuard  them. 

FOR  this  cause  I  "Paul,  the

3  How  that  by  "•''revelation  he 
made  known  unto  me  the  hnys- 
tery;  (as  I  wrote  afore  in  few 
words, 

4  Whereby,  when  ye  read,  ye 
may  understand  my  knowledge 
in  the  'mystery  of  Christ) 

5  Which  in  other  ages  was  not 
made  known  unto  the  sons  of 
men,  as  it  is  now  ''revealed  unto 
his  holy  'apostles  and  ^prophets 
by  the  'Spirit; 

6  That  the  Gen'tile.s  should  be 
'"•■'fcllowheirs,  and^of  the  "same

i.se  in  Christ  by  the  ''gospel: 

7  Whereof  "I  was  ''made  a  min- 
ister, according  to  the  gift  of  the 
'grace  of  God  given  unto  me 
l)y  the  effectual  working  of  his 
*power. 

8  Unto  me,  who  am  Mess  than 
the  least  of  all  saints,  is  this  grace 
given,  that  '^I  should  "-^preach

Tlie  apostle  exhorts  to  unity;  7  sliews  thai 
God  has  given  divers  gifts  to  men  for  tlic 
perfecting  of  the  saints:  17  and,  tlwrefore, 
urges  them  to  put  off  the  old  man  which  is 
corrupt.  24  and  to  put  on  the  new  man 
which  after  God  is  created  in  righteousness 
and  true  holiness. 


I 


THEREFORE,  the  «•  ^pris- 
oner of   the  Lord,  beseech 
you    that   ye    Svalk   worthy   of 
the  ^•''vocation  wherewith  ye  are 
called, 

2  With  all  ^'^lowliness  and 
'■•''meekness,  with  ^•''longsuffer- 
ing,  ^forbearing  one  another  in 
^■^love; 

3  Endeavouring  to  keep  the 
^vinity  of  the  'S])jnt  in  the  bond 
of  '"peace. 

4  There  is  '^one  body,  and  one 
'S]iirit,  even  as  ye  are  '^called  in 
one  "hope  of  your  calling; 

5  One  ^Lord,  one  'faith,  one 
Hjaptism, 

6  *One  God  and  'Father  of  all, 
"wlio  is  above  all,  and  through 
all,  and  in  you  all. 

7  But  unto  every  one  of  us  is 
o-iven  ^o;race  accordins;  to  the 
measure  of  the  "gift  of  Christ. 

8  Wherefore  he  saith,  ^'  "When 
he  ^ascended  up  on  high,  he  led 
captivity  captive,  and  gave  "gifts 
unto  men. 

9  (Now  that  he  ^ascended,  what 
is  it  but  that  he  also  descended 
first  into  the  lower  parts  of  the 
earth  ? 

10  He  that  descended  is  the 
same  also  that  ^ascended  up  far 
above  all  heavens,  that  he  might 
"fill  all  things.) 

11  And  he  ^-'gave  some,  ^apos- 
tles; and  some,  prophets;  and 
some,  evangelists;  and  some,

12  For  the  ''perfecting  of  the 
saints,  ^for  the  work  of  the  min- 
istry, for  the  edifying  of  the 'body 
of  'Christ: 

13  Till  we  all  come  in  the  *unity 
of  the  'faith,  and  of  the  '"knowl- 
edge of  the  "Son  of  God,  unto  a 
^•"perfect  man,  unto  the  measure 
of  the  stature  of  the  fulness  of 
Christ: 

14  That  we  henceforth  ^be  no 
more  children,  'tossed  to  and  fro, 
and  'carried  about  with  every 
wind  of  doctrine,  by  the  sleight 
of  ''men,  ^and  cunning  craftiness, 
whereby  they  lie  in  wait  to  de- 
ceive ; 

15  But  speaking  the  'truth  in 
'love,  may  "grow  up  into  him  in 
all  things,  which  is  the  'head, 
even  Christ: 

16  From  whom  '^the  whole 
body  fitly  ^joined  together  and 
compacted  by  that  which  every 
joint  supplieth,  according  to  the 
effectual  working  in  the  measure 
of  every  part,  maketh  increase  of 
the  body  unto  the  edifying  of  it- 
self in  'love. 

17  This  I  say  therefore,  and 
testify  in  the  Lord,  that  ye  hence- 
forth walk  not  as  other  '"Gen'- 
tlle.s  walk,  in  the  vanity  of  their 
mind, 

18  ^Having  the  understand- 
ing darkened,  being  ^' '^alienated 
from  the  life  of  God  through  the 
''ignorance  that  is  in  them,  be- 
cause of  the  ^blindness  of  their 
'^heart: 

19  ''Who  ''being  ^past  feeling 
have  given  themselves  over  unto 
"lasciviousness,  to  work  all  un- 
cleanness  with  greediness. 

20  But  ye  *have  not  so  learned 
Christ; 

21  If  so  be  that  ye  have  heard 
him,  and  have  been  ''taught  by 
him,  as  the  'truth  is  in  Je'sus:

in  the  Lord,  waxing  confident

"'in  nothing  I  shall  be  ashamed, 
but  that  with  all  *boldness,  as 
always,  so  now  also  ^Christ 
shall  be  magnified  in  my  body, 
whether  it  be  by  life,  or  by 
^death. 

21  For  ^to  me  to  live  is  Christ, 
and  to  Mle  is  gain. 

22  But  if  I  live  in  the  flesh, 
'^this  is  the  fruit  of  my  labour: 
yet  what  I  shall  choose  I  wot 
not. 

23  For  I  am  in  a  strait  betwixt 
two,  having  a  desire  ^to  depart, 
and  ^'^to  be  with  Christ;  which 
is  far  better: 

24  Nevertheless  to  "abide  in  the

I  know  that  I  shall  abide  "and 
continue  with  you  all  ''for  your 
furtherance  and  joy  of  faith; 

26  That  your  rejoicing  may  be 
more  abundant  in  Je'.sus  Christ

27  Only  *let  your  *^conversa- 
tion  be  as  it  becometh  the  "^gosiicl 
of  Christ:  that  whether  I  come 
and  see  you,  or  else  be  absent,  I 
may  hear  of  your  '^alfairs,  that 
ye  ''•'^stand  ''fast  in  ^one  spirit, 
with  ''one  mind  striving  together 
for  the  "faith  of  the  gospel; 

28  And  ''-'in  nothing  '^terrified 
by  your  adversaries:  which  is  to 
them  an  evident  token  of  perdi- 
tion, but  to  you  of  salvation,  and 
that  of  God. 

29  For  unto  you  it  is  given  in

CHAPTER  2 

The  apostle  exhorts  them  to  be  of  one  mind, 
3  to  be  humble  after  the  example  of 
Christ,  12  and  to  work  out  their  salvation 
with  fear  and  trembling.  17  His  willing- 
ness to  suffer  for  them.  19  He  hopes  to 
send  Timothti  to  them,  whom  he  com- 
mends. 25  He  sends  to  them  Epaphro- 
ditus.  his  faithful  companion  and  fellow 
soldier. 

IF  tliere  he  therefore  any  conso- 
lation in  Christ,  if  any  com- 
fort of  "love,  if  any  ''fellowship  of 
the  ^Spirit,  if  any  ^•''bowels  and 
mercies, 

2  ^Fulfil  ye  my  joy,  that  ye  be 
likeminded,  Slaving  the  same 
"love,  heiruj  of  ^one  accord,  of 
''one  mind. 

3  ^Let  nothing  be  done  through 
^strife  or  'vainglory ;  but  ''in  *low- 
liness  of  mind  let  '•'"each  '^' "es- 
teem other  better  than  them- 
selves. 

4  Tjook  not  every  man  ^on  his 
own  things,  but  '■'"■^every  man 
also  on  the  things  of  others. 

5  Let  this  mind  be  in  you, 
which  was  also  in  Christ  ''Je'sus : 

6  Who,  ^being  in  the  *form  of 
God,  thought  it  not  robbery  to 
be  *-^equal  with  God: 

7  But  ^made  him.self  of  no  rep- 
utation, and  took  upon  him  the 
"form  of  a  .servant,  and  was 
"made  in  tlie  likeness  of  men: 

8  And  being  found  in  fashion  as 
a  "man,  he  humbled  himself,  and 
'"•  ^became  ^obedient  unto  death, 
even  the  death  of  the  ^cross. 

9  Wherefore  God  also  hath 
highly  "exalted  him,  and  given 
him  a  *nanie  which  is  above 
every   name: 

10  That  ^at  the  ''name  of  Je'- 
.sus   ''every    knee   .should    '^bow.

12  Wherefore,  my  beloved,  as 
ye  have  always  obeyed,  not  as  in 
my  presence  only,  but  now  much 
more  in  my  absence,  work  out 
your  own  ^salvation  with  'fear 
and  trembling. 

13  For  it  is  God  which  '^work- 
eth  in  you  both  to  will  and  to  do 
^of  ^his  good  pleasure. 

14  '"•"Do  all  things  without 
"murmurings  and   ^disputings: 

15  *Thatye  may  *be  ''■*• 'blame- 
less and  harmless,  the  ''■''sons  of 
God,  ''•*^'withoLit  rebuke,  in  the 
midst  of  a  "•"'crooked  and  per- 
verse nation,  among  whom  ye 
^.shine  as  ^' ^lights  in  the  world; 

16  ^Holding  forth  the  "-"word 
of  life;  that  I  may  rejoice  in  the 
''day  of  Christ,  that  ''I  have  not 
"run  in  vain,  '^neither  laboured 
in  vain. 

17  Yea,  and  if  I  be  offered  upon 
the  sacrifice  and  service  of  your 
faith,  I  joy,  and  rejoice  with  you 
all. 

18  For  the  same  cause  also  do 
ye  joy,  and  rejoice  with  me. 

19  But  I  trust  in  the  'Lord 
Je'.sus  to  send  "•'^Ti-mo'the-iis 
.shortly  unto  you,  *that  I  also 
may  be  of  good  comfort,  when 
I  know  your  state. 

20  For  I  have  no  man  like- 
minded,  *who  will  naturally  care 
for  your  state. 

21  For  all  'seek  their  own,  not  the 
thino\s  which  are  Je'sus  Christ's.

22  But  }e  know  the  ^proof  of 
''him,  that,  'as  a  son  with  the 
father,  ''he  hath  served  with  me 
in  ^the  "•''gospel. 

23  ^Him  therefore  I  hope  to 
send  presently,  so  soon  as  I  shall 
see  how  it  will  go  with  me. 

24  But  I  trust  in  the  Lord  that  I 
also  myself  shall  come  shortly. 

25  Yet  I  supposed  it  neces- 
sary to  send  to  you  '£l-paph-ro- 
dl'tus,  'my  brother,  and  com- 
panion in  labour,  and  fellow- 
soldier,  but  your  messenger,  and 
he  that  ''^ministered  to  my 
wants. 

26  For  'he  'longed  after  you  all, 
and  was  ^full  of  heaviness,  be- 
cause that  ye  had  heard  that  he 
had  been  '"sick. 

27  For  indeed  4ie  was  '"sick 
nigh  unto  "death:  but  "God  had 
mercy  on  him;  and  not  on  him 
only,  but  on  me  also,  lest  I  should 
have  sorrow  upon  sorrow. 

28  I  sent  'him  dierefore  the 
more  ^carefully,  that,  when  ye 
see  him  again,  ye  may  rejoice, 
and  that  I  may  be  the  less  sor- 
rowful. 

29  ''Receive  him  therefore  in 
the  Lord  with  all  gladness;  and 
hold  su(;h  in  reputation: 

30  Because  ^for  the  work  of 
Christ  he  was  ''nigh  unto  death, 
'•'not  regarding  his  life,  to  suj)- 
l)ly  your  lack  of  service  toward 
me. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  apostle  warns  them  against  false  teach- 
ers, 4  shewing  that  he  has  (jrcatcr  reason 
than  tlicy  to  trust  in  the  ;tesh.  7  but  that  Iw 
counts  all  things  loss  for  Christ.  12  Ac- 
knowledging his  own  imperfection,  he 
presses  onward,  15  and  exhorts  tliem  to 
imitate  his  example. 

FINALLY,  my  brethren,  "re- 
joice in  the  Lord.   To  write 
the  same  things  to  you,  to  me 


indeed  is-  not  'grievous,  but  for 
yo\i   it   is  safe. 

2  *• ''Beware  of  ''•''dogs,  beware 
of  evil  workers,  beware  of  the 
^concision. 

3  For  we  are  the  circumcision, 
which  "•"worship  ^God  in  the 
's))irit,  and  ^rejoice  in  ^Christ 
Je'sus,  and  "have  no  confidence 
in  the  flesh. 

4  Though  I  might  also  have 
confidence  in  the  flesh.  If  any 
other  man  thinketh  that  he  hath 
whereof  he  might  trust  in  the 
flesh,  I  more: 

5  ^Circumcised  the  eighth  day, 
of  the  stock  of  'Is'ra-el,  0/  the 
'"tribe  of  Ben'ja-mm,  an  "Ile'- 
brew  of  tlie  He'brews;  as  touch- 
ing the  "law,  a  ''Phar'i-see; 

6  Concerning  *zeal,  '"persecut- 
ing the  ^church;  touching  the 
righteousness  which  is  in  the 
"law,  lilameless. 

7  But  what  things  were  'gain  to 
me,  "those  I  counted  '-^loss  "'for 
Christ. 

8  Yea  doubtless,  and  '"I  count 
all  things  hut  loss  for  tlie  ex- 
cellency t)f  the  -^knowledge  of 
'Christ  Je'sus  my  ^^Lord:  for 
whom  I  have  "•^suffered  the  loss 
of  all  things,  and  do  count  them 
hut  dung,  that '"I  may  win  Christ, 

9  And  "be  found  in  him,  not 
having  mine  *own  righteousness, 
wliich  is  of  the  '^law,  but  that 
which  is  through  the  ''faith  of 
Christ,  the  ''righteousness  which 
is  of  God  by  faith: 

10  That  1  may  know  him,  and 
the  power  of  liis  ''resurrection, 
and  the  fellowship  of  his  "suf- 
ferings, being  made  conformable 
unto  his  "death;

be  ^perfect,  be  thus  minded:  and

'this  unto  you. 

16  Nevertheless,  whereto  we 
have  already  attained,  *Iet  us

things  are  "pure,  whatsoever 
things  are  lovely,  whatsoever

tlicrc  be  any  virtue,  and  if  there 
be  any  praise,  "'think  on  these 
things. 

9  Those  things,  which  ye  have 
both  learned,  and  received,  anti 
heard,  and  seen  ^in  me,  do:  and 
*the  God  of  ''peace  shall  be  with 
you. 

10  But  I  rejoiced  in  the  Lord

^•^care  of  me  hath  flourished 
again;  wherein  ye  were  also  care- 
ful, but  ye  lacked  o])portunity. 

11  Not  that  I  speak  in  respect 
of  want:  for  I  have  learned,  in 
whatsoever  state  I  am,  Hhere- 
u'ith  to  be  "•''content. 

12  "'*I  know  both  how  to  be 
^abased,  and  I  know  how  to

full  and  to  be  '^himgry,  both  to 
abound  and  to  suffer  need. 

13  ^I  can  do  all  things  ^through 
Christ  which  ''strengtheneth  me. 

14  Notwithstanding  ye  have 
well  done,  that  ye  Mid  ''com- 
municate with   my  affliction. 

15  Now  ye  ''Phi-lip'pi-an.s  know 


also,  that  in  the  beginning  of  the 
gospel,  when  I  departed  from 
'Ma^-e-dd'ni-a,  no  church  "'com- 
municated with  me  as  concern- 
ing giving  and  receiving,  but  ye 
only. 

16  For  even  in  *Thes-sa-l6-ni'- 
ca  ye  '■  *^sent  once  and  again  unto 
my  necessity. 

17  ^Not  because  I  desire  a  gift: 
but  I  d(\sire  fruit  that  may 
abound    to   your   account. 

18  But  I  have  all,  and  abound : 
I  am  full,  having  received  of 
'"E-paph-ro-dl'tus  the  ^things 
which  tvcre  '^sent  from  you,  an 
odour  of  a  sweet  smell,  a  sacri- 
fice acceptable,  wellpleasing  to 
God. 

19  But  "my  God  shall  "supply 
all  your  need  according  to  his 
riches  in  ^glory  by  Christ  Je'sus. 

20  Now  unto  God  and  our  ^Fa-

CHAPTER  2 

The  manner  in  which  the  gospel  was  first 
preached  to  tfiem.  7  Hotv  the  apostle  had 
behaved  himself  among  them.  13  Their 
reception  of  the  gospel,  and  suffering  for 
its  sake.  17  His  desire  to  see  them,  and 
the  reason  of  his  absence. 

FOR    yourselves,    brethren, 
know  ''our  entrance  in  unto 
you,  that  it  was  not  in  vain: 

2  But  even  after  that  we 
had  "suffered  before,  and  were 
'shamefully  entreated,  as  ye 
know,  at  ''Phi-lip'pl,  "we  were 
'•"bold  in  our  God  to  '^speak  un- 
to you  the  gospel  of  God  with 
much  contention. 

3  For  our  exhortation ';/'rt.?''*not 
of  'deceit,  nor  of  uncleanness, 
nor   in  guile: 

4  But  as  'we  ^were  allowed  of 
God  to  be  "'put  in  trust  with  the 
'gos])el,  even  so  we  sj)eak;  "not 
as  pleasing  men,  but  God,  which 
trieth  our  hearts. 

5  For  neither  at  any  time  used 
we  flattering  words,  as  ye  know, 
nor  a  cloke  of  "covetousness; 
God  is  witness:

6  Nor  of  men  sought  we  glory, 
neither  of  you,  nor  yet  of  oth- 
ers, when  we  might  have  been 
^burdensome,  as  the  Apostles 
of  Christ. 

7  But  we  were  ''•*• 'gentle  among 
you,  even  as  a  nurse  cherisheth 
her  children: 

8  So  being  *• 'affectionately  de- 
sirous of  you,  'we  were  willing  to 
have  imparted  unto  you,  not  the 
^gospel  of  God  only,  but  also  our 
own  souls,  because  *-'ye  were 
dear  unto  us. 

9  For  ye  remember,  brethren, 
'our  labour  and  travail:  for  ''•"la- 
bouring night  and  day,  because 
we  ""■  ^would  not  be  chargeable 
unto  any  of  you,  we  ''preached 
unto  you  the  'gospel  of  God. 

10  Ye  are  witnesses,  and  God 
also,  'how  ^holily  and  justly 
and  unblameably  we  behaved 
ourselves  among  you  that  ^be- 
lieve : 

11  As  ye  know  how  '^•*we 
^exhorted  and  ^comforted  and 
charged  every  one  of  you,  ''as  a 
father  doth  his  children, 

12  That  ye  would  walk  ''worthy 
of  God,  who  hath  '^called  you  un- 
to his  'kingdom  and  glory. 

13  For  this  cause  also  ^thank 
we  God  without  ceasing,  because, 
when  ye  received  *the  ''word  of 
God  which  ye  heard  of  us,  ye  re- 
ceived it  not  as  the  word  of  men, 
but  as  it  is  in  truth,  the  word  of 
God,  which  effectually  worketh 
also  in  you  that  'believe. 

14  For  ye,  brethren,  became 
^followers  of  the  churches  of  God 
which  in  Ju-dj^'a  are  'in  Christ 
Je'sus:  for  ye  also  have  ''-'suffer- 
ed like  things  of  your  own  coun- 
trymen, even  as  they  Jtave  of  the 
'"Jew.s: 

15  "Who  both  "killed  the  ^Lord 
Je'sus,  and  their  own  ^prophets, 
and  "have  '•'■persecuted  us;  and

they  please  not  God,   and  are 
contrary  to  all  men: 

16  Forbidding  us  to  speak  to 
the  *Gen'tiles  that  they  might  be 
'saved,  to  fill  up  their  sins  alway : 
for  the  ""wrath  is  come  upon 
"'them  to  the  uttermost. 

17  But  we,  brethren,  being 
taken  from  you  for  a  short  time 
in  presence,  ^not  in  heart,  en- 
deavoured the  more  abundantly 
to  see  your  face  with  great  de- 
sire. 

18  Wherefore  we  would  have 
come  unto  you,  even  I  "Paul, 
once  and  again;  but  ^Sa'tan  hin- 
dered us. 

19  For  ^what  is  our  hope,  or 
joy,  or  crown  of  ^rejoicing  ? 
^Are  not  even  ye  ^in  the  presence 
of  our  "Lonl  Je'.sus  Christ  at  his 
^coming  ? 

20  For  ye  are  our  glory  and  joy. 

CHAPTER  3 

Why  the  apostle  had  sent  Timothy  to  them. 
6  The  comfort  he  took  in  his  report  con- 
cerning them.  10  His  desire  to  see  them, 
12  and  that  they  may  abound  in  love  one 
toward  another. 

WHEREFORE  when  we 
could  no  longer  forbear, 
we  thought  it  good  to  be  left 
at  "Ath'eng  alone; 

2  And  sent  ^'^Ti-mo'the-us,  our 
''brother,  and  'minister  of  God, 
and  our  fellowlabourer  in  the 
''gospel  of  Christ,  to  "establish 
you,  and  to  ''comfort  you  con- 
cerning your  'faith: 

3  That  %o  man  should  be 
moved  by  these  afflictions:  for 
yourselves  know  that  we  are  ap- 
pointed thereunto. 

4  For  verily,  when  we  were  with 
you,  we  told  you  before  that  we 
should  ''suffer  tribulation;  even 
as  it  came  to  pass,  and  ye  know. 

5  For  this  cause,  ^vhen  I  could 
no  longer  forbear,  I  sent  to  know 
your  '"'faith,  lest  by  some  means 
the  ^•'tempter  have  tempted  you, 
and  our  labour  be  in  vain.

came  from  you  unto  us,  antl 
brought  us  good  tidings  of  your 
^•^faith  and  -•'"charity,  and  that 
ye  have  good  remembrance  of  us 
always,  '"desiring  greatly  to  see 
us,  as  we  also  to  sec  you: 

7  Therefore,  brethren,  we  were 
"comforted  over  you  in  all  our 
affliction  and  distress  by  your 
/•%ith: 

8  For  now  we  live,  if  ye  '"stand 
fast  Hn  the  "Lord. 

9  For  what  ''thanks  can  we  ren- 
der to  God  again  for  you,  for  all 
the  *joy  wherewith  we  joy  for 
your  sakes  before  our  God; 

10  'Night  and  day  praying 
exceedingly  that  we  might  see 
your  face,  and  might  perfect  that 
which  is  lacking  in  your  ''faith  ? 

11  Now  God  himself  and  our 
"Father,  and  our  'Lord  Je'sus 
^Christ,  "'"'direct  our  Avay  imto 
you. 

12  And  ^the  Lord  make  you  tr) 
^- ^increase  and  al)ound  in  "love 
one  toward  another,  and  toward 
all  men,  even  as  we  do  toward 
you:^^ 

13  To  the  end  he  may  stablish 
your  hearts  ''unblameable  in 
'^holiness  before  God,  even  our 
''Father,  at  the  ''coming;  of  our 
^Lord  Je'.sus  ^Christ  with  all  his 
saints. 

CHAPTER  4 

They  are  exhorted  to  increase  in  godliness. 
3  to  abstain  from  fornication  and  fraud, 
9  to  love  one  another,  1 1  and  quietly  to  fol- 
low their  own  busine.^s.  13  He  comforts 
them  in  relation  to  those  wlio  had  fallen 
asleep  in  Jesus.  16  Tlie  Lord's  second 
coming. 

FURTHERMORE  then  «we 
beseech  you,  brethren,  and 
exhort  yon.  by  the  ^T^ord  Je'.sus, 
that  as  ye  have  received  of  us  how 
ye  ouofht  to  walk  and  to  please 
(rod,  \io  ye  would  ''abound  more 
and  more. 

2  For  ye  know  what  ^command- 
ments ''we  gave  you  by  the  ''Lord 
Je'.sus. 

3  For  this  is  the  'will  of  God, 


even  your  '■^sanctiHcation,  ''that 
ye  should  ^abstain  from  'fornica- 
tion : 

4  That  every  one  of  you  should 
know  how  to  possess  ^his  vessel 
in  ''■'sanctification  and  honour; 

5  ^Not  in  the  Must  of  concu- 
piscence, even  as  the  'Gen'tlles 
which  '"know  not  God: 

6  That  no  man  ^go  beyond  and 
"defraud  his  brother  in  anij  mat- 
ter: "because  that  the  Lord  is-  the 
avenger  of  all  such,  as  we  also 
have  forewarned  vou  and  testi- 
fied. 

7  For  God  hath  not  ''called  us 
unto  uncleanne.ss,  but  unto  ^holi- 
ness. 

8  He  therefore  that  ®despiseth, 
•'despiseth  not  man,  but  God, 
who  hath  also  given  unto  us  his 
%oly  SjMrit. 

9  But  as  touching  ''•^brotherly 
'love  ye  need  not  that  I  write  un- 
to you:  for  ye  yourselves  are 
"taught  of  God  to  'love  one  an- 
other. 

10  And  indeed  ye  'do  it  toward 
all  tlie  ''brethren  which  are  in  all 
"'Ma9-e-do'ni-a :  but  we  beseech 
you,  brethren,  that  ye  ^increase 
more  and  more; 

11  And  ''that  ye  ^study  to  be 
(juiet,  and  to  do  your  own  busi- 
ness, and  to  "■''work  with  your 
own  hands,  as  we  ^commanded 
you; 

12  That  ye  may  ''■'^walk  ''hon- 
estly toward  them  that  are  with- 
out, and  that  ye  may  have  lack 
of  notiiing. 

13  But  I  would  not  have  you  to 
be  ignorant,  brethren,  concern- 
ing them  which  are  ''•^asleep,  that 
ye  'Asorrow  not,  even  as  others 
which  have  no  hope.

UT  of  the  times  and  the  "sea- 


need  that  ''I  write  unto  you. 

2  For  yourselves  know  perfectly 
that  the  "day  of  the  ''Lord  so 
Cometh  as  a  thief  in  the  night. 

3  For  when  they  shall  ''•^''say, 
Peace  and  safety;  then  sudden 
''destruction  cometh  u])on  them, 
as  travail  upon  a  woman  with 
child ;  and  they  '^shall  not  escape. 

4  But  ^ye,  brethren,  are  *not  in 
'-'"darkness,  that  that  day  should 
overtake  you  as  a  thief. 

5  Ye  are  all  the  "^children  of 
"•"•^'light,  and  the  children  of  the 
day:  %e  are  not  of  the  'night, 
nor  of  '-'"darkness. 

6  Therefore  ''-^let  us  not  sleep, 
as  do  others;  but  let  us  'watch 
and  be  "sober.

CHAPTER  2 

The  coming  of  the  Lord  not  immediately  at 
hand.  3  .4  great  apostasy  to  precede  it. 
15  Tliey  are  exiiorted  to  stand  fast  in  the 
truth. 

NOW  we  beseech  you,  breth- 
ren, by  the  "coming  of  our 
*Ijord  Je'sus  Christ,  and  by  our 
gathering  together  unto  him, 

2  '^That  ye  be  not  soon  shaken 
in  mind,  or  be  troubled,  neither 
by  spirit,  nor  by  word,  nor  by 
letter  as  from  us,  as  that  the  day 
of  ^Christ  is  at  hand. 

3  ''Let  no  *man  deceive  you  by 
any  means:  for  Hhat  day  shall 
not  come,  except  there  come  a 
''falling  away  first,  and  that  ''man 
of  sin  be  revealed,  the  son  of  per- 
dition; 

4^Wlio  oppose th  and'''%xalteth 
himself  above  all  that  is  called 
God,  or  that  is  worshipped;  so 
that  he  as  God  sitteth  in  the  ^tem- 
ple of  God,  shewing  himself  that 
he  is  God. 

5  Remember  ye  not,  that,  when 
I  was  yet  with  you,  I  told  you 
these  things  ? 

6  And    now    ye    know    ^what

withholdeth   that  he   might   be 
revealed  in  his  time. 

7  For  the  mystery  of  '^iniquity 
doth  already  work:  only  he  who 
now  letteth  will  let,  until  he  be 
taken  out  of  the  way. 

8  And  then  shall  ^that  ^Vicked 
be  revealed,  whom  the  *Lord 
shall  ^'consume  with  the  spirit  of 
his  mouth,  and  shall  destroy  with 
the  brightness  of  his  "coming: 

9  Even  ^him,  whose  coming  is 
after  the  working  of  'Sa'tan  with 
all  power  and  signs  and  lying 
wonders, 

10  And  with  all  ^-'"deceivable- 
ness  of  unrighteousness  in  them 
that  perish;  because  "they  "re- 
ceived not  the  love  of  the  ^'*truth, 
that  iiiey  might  be  ''saved. 

11  And  for  this  cause  God 
^shall  send  them  strong  *'*delu- 
sion.  that  they  should  believe  a 
'lie:' 

12  That  ''they  all  might  be 
^damned  who  '^believed  not  the 
^' 'truth,  but  '^had  pleasure  in

with  ^labour  and  travail  night 
and  day,  "'that  we  might  not  be 
chargeable  to  any  of  you : 

9  Not  because  we  have  not 
"power,  but  to  make  ourselves 
an  '■■^ensample  unto  you  to 
^follow  us. 

10  For  even  Avhen  we  were  with 
you,  this  we  ^'  ^commanded  you, 
that  if  any  would  ^not  work,  nei- 
ther should  he  eat. 

11  For  we  hear  that  there  are 
some  which  w^alk  among  you  dis- 
orderly, working  ^not  at  all,  but 
are  *'"busybodies. 

12  Now  them  that  are  such  ''we 
command  and  exhort  by  our 
''Lord  Je'gus  Christ,  that  ''with 
(juietness  they  ''work,  and  eat 
their  own  bread. 

13  But  ye,  brethren,  ''•^•"be  not 
weary  in  well  doing. 

14  And  if  any  man  obey  not 
our  word  by  this  epistle,  note 
that  man,  and  ^'■''have  no  com- 
pany with  him,  that  he  may  be 
ashamed. 

15  Yet  '■count  him  not  as  an 
enemy,  but  ^'admonish  Jam  ^as 
a  brother. 

16  Now  '"the  Lord  of  "peace 
himself  give  you  peace  always 
by  all  means.  The  Lord  be  \\itii 
you  all. 

17  The  "salutation  of 'Taul  with 
mine  own  hand, .which  is  the 
token  in  every  epistle:  so  I  write. 

IS  'The  grace  of  our  "Lord  Je'-

The  apostle's  salutation.  3  The  reason 
why  lie  left  him  at  Ephcsus.  5  The  use 
and  end  of  the  law.  12  Paul's  gratitude 
to  Christ  for  being  put  into  the  ministry. 
18  This  charge  he  commits  to  Timothy. 
20  Hymenceus  and  Alexander  delivered  to

"T)AUL,  an  apostle  of  Je'.sus 
-L  Christ  by  the  ^command- 
ment  of  God  our  '^Saviour,  and 
^Lord  Je'.sus  Christ,  which  is  our 
"^hope ; 

2  Unto  ^Tim'o-thJ^,  my  own  son 
in  the  ''faith:  ''•'^Grace,  '*mercy, 
and  'peace,  from  God  our  ^'Fa- 
ther and  Me'sus  Christ  our 
'"Ivord. 

3  As  I  besought  thee  to  abide 
still  at  '^Eph'e-siis,  when  I  went 
into  ''Ma9-e-d6'ni-a,  that  thou 
mightest  ^'charge  ^some  that  they 
^teach  no  other  doctrine, 

4  ^' ''Neither  give  heed  to  *fa- 
bles  and  endless  ^genealogies, 
which  minister  ^(lucstions,  rather 
than  godly  edifying  which  is  in 
faith:  so  do. 

5  Now  the  end  of  the  ^-^com- 
mandment  is  'charity  out  of  a 
"'^''"'pure  heart,  and  of  a  ^good 
conscience,  and  of  ^faith  un- 
feigned : 

6  From  which  ^some  having 
swerved  have  turned  aside  unto 
vain  ^'angling; 

7  Desiring  to  be  teachers  of 
the  "law;  ^understanding  neither

what  they  say,  nor  whereof  they 
affirm. 

8  But  we  know  that  the  "law  is 
good,  if  a  man  use  it  lawfully; 

9  Knowing  this,  that  the  '^law 
is  not  made  for  a  righteous  man, 
but  for  the  '^lawless  and  Mis- 
obedient,  for  the  '^ungodly  and 
for  sinners,  for  '^unholy  and  pro- 
fane, for  ^murderers  of  fathers 
and  murderers  of  mothers,  for

10  For  ^'^vhoremongers,  for 
them  that  ''defile  themselves  with 
mankind,  for  ^menstealers,  for 
'liars,  for  ^-'perjured  persons, 
and  if  there  be  any  other  thing 
tliat  is  contrary  to  sound  *doc- 
trine; 

11  According  to  the  ^glorious 
*^gospel  of  the  blessed  God,  which 
was  committed  to  'my  '"trust. 

12  And  I  '^- "thank  Christ  Je'- 
.sus our  ''Lord,  who  hath  enabled 
me,  for  that  he  counted  me 
'faithful,  ^■'■putting  me  into  the 
ministry; 

13  Who  was  before  a  *blas- 
phemer,  and  a  'persecutor,  and 
injurious:  but  I  obtained  "•''mer- 
cy, because  I  "'did  it  ^ignorantly 
in  unbelief. 

14  And  the  grace  of  our  Lord 
was  exceeding  abundant  with 
^faith  and  ^love  which  is  in 
Christ  Je'.sus. 

15  This  is  a  faithful  saying,  and

6  Who  ^•'■gave  himself  a  'ran-

7  Whereunto  I  am  'ordained  a

CHAPTER  3 


The  qualifications  of  a  bishop,  8  and  of  dea- 
cons. 14  Why  he  writes  these  things  to 
Timothy.      16   The  mystery  of  godliness. 

THIS  is  a   true   saying,    If  a 
man  "desire  the  office  of  a 
■•■bishop,  he  desireth  a  good  work. 

2  "A  ■''bishop  then  must  be 
1- '^blameless,  the  ''husband  of 
"one  wife,  '^•^^igilant,  ''•''•  ^sober, 
of  good  behaviour,  "^given  to 
''hospitahty,  ''apt  to  Heach; 

3  ^■^-'^Not  given  to  wine,  no 
^'striker,  not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre; 
but  patient,  not  a  brawler,  not 
'"'covetous ; 

4  "•''■'One  that  '"ruleth  well  his 
own  house,  having  his  "children 
in  subjection  with  all  gravity; 

5  (For  '"if  a  man  know  not  how  to 
'"rule  his  own  house,  how  shall  he 
"take  care  of  the  ^church  of  God  ?) 

6  "'"Not  a  novice,  lest  being 
lifted  up  with  «'pride  he  fall  into 
the  condemnation  of  the  ''devil. 

7  Moreover  ''■"he  must  have  ^a 
good  report  of  them  which  are 
without; lest  he  fall  into  reproach 
and  the  snare  of  the  ''devil. 

8  ^Likewise  must  the  ^deacons 
be  grave,  not  doubletongued, 
'not  given  to  much  wine,  "not 
^'greedy  of  filthy  lucre; 

9  Holding  the  ^my.stery  of  the 
"'faith  in  a  ^-^pure  conscience. 

10  x\nd  *let  these  also  first  be 
proved;  then  let  them  use  the 
office  of  a  ^deacon,  being  found 
blameless. 

11  ''■^Even  so  must  their  wives 
be  grave,  not  "^slanderers,  "sober, 
""faithful  in  all  things. 

12  Let  the  ^deacons  be  the  hus-

]  3  For  they  that  have  used  the 
office  of  a  ^deacon  well  purchase 
to  themselves  a  good  degree,  and 
great  boldness  in  the  ^faith  which 
is  in  Christ  Je'sus. 

14  These  things  write  I  unto 
thee,  ho])ing  to  come  unto  thee 
shortly : 

15  But  if  I  tarry  long,  that 
thou  mayest  know  how  "■''thou 
oughtest  to  behave  thyself  in 
the  ''house  of  God,  which  is  the 
church  of  the  living  God,  'the 
pillar  and  ground  of  the  ^trutli. 

16  i\.nd  without  controversy 
great  is  the  '^-'mystery  of  godli- 
ness: 'God  was  '"manifest  in  the 
flesh,  justified  in  the  Spirit,  seen 
of  ''angels,  "preached  ^unto  the 
^Gen'tlle.s,  ^believed  on  in  the 
world,  ''received  up  into  glory. 

CHAPTER  4 

The  Spirit  speaks  of  a  departure  from  the 
faith  in  the  latter  times.  6  Timothy  is  to 
put  the  brethren  in  remembrance  of  these 
things.  8  Godliness  is  profitable.  12 
He  is  to  be  an  example  of  the  believers.

Rules  to  be  observed  in  reproving.  3  O' 
widows,  n  Of  elders.  2Z  A  precept  for 
Timotnii's  health.  24  Some  men's  sins 
go  before  them  unto  judgment,  and  some 
men's  sins  follmo  after. 

REBUKE  not  an  elder, 
but  intreat  liim  as  a 
father;  and  the  younger  men  as 
brethren; 

2  The  elder  ''women  as  moth- 
ers; the  younger  as  sisters,  with 
all  '^"'purity. 

3  Honour  "widows  that  are 
widows   indeed. 

4  But  if  any  "widow  have  ''chil- 
dren or  ^nephews,  let  them  learn 
first  to  shew  piety  at  home,  and 
to  requite  their  parents:  for  that 
is  good  and  acceptable  before 
God. 

5  Now  she  that  is  a  "widow  in- 
deed, and  desolate,  Hrusteth  in 
God,  and  continueth  in  suppli- 
cations and  *prayers  night  and 
day. 

6  But  she  that  liveth  in  ^pleas- 
ure is  dead  while  she  liveth. 

7  And  ^thcse  things  give  in 
charge,  that  they  may  be  'blame- 
less.

9  Let  not  a  *'Hvidow  be  taken 
into  the  number  under  three- 
score years  old,  having  been  the 
wife  of  one  man, 

10  "Well  reported  of  for  ^•"'good 
works;  if  she  have  brought  up 
children,  if  she  have  ^'  ^lodged 
strangers,  if  she  have  washed 
the  saints'  feet,  if  she  have  re- 
lieved the  ^afflicted,  if  she  have 
diligently  followed  every  good 
work. 

11  But  the  younger  "widows  re- 
fuse: for  when  they  have  begun 
to  wax  wanton  against  Christ, 
they  ^will  marry; 

12  Having  ^damnation,  because 
t'ley  have  cast  off  their  first  faith. 

13  And  withal  they  learn  to 
be  ''idle,  wandering  about  from 
house  to  house;  and  not  only  idle, 
but  ''■'^tattlers  also  and  '^busybod- 
ies,  speaking  things  which  they 
ought  not. 

14  I    will    therefore    that    the 


younger   ■^women   'marry. 


bea

none  occasion  to  the  adversary 
to  speak  reproachfully. 

15  For  some  are  already  ''turn- 
ed aside  after  ''-^Sa'tan. 

16  If  any  ^man  or  woman  that 
'believeth  have  "•''^widows,  ^let

Je'sus  Clirist,  who  hath  abol-

■^' ^hfo  and  ^iinniortahty  to  hght 
through  the  "gospel: 

1 1  Whereunto  ^I  am  "appointed 
a  ^preacher,  and  an  apostle,  and 
a  '"teacher  ^of  the  '^Gen'tlles. 

12  For  the  which  cau.se  I  also 
'•^■"sufl'er  these  things:  neverthe- 
less ''I  am  not  ashamed:  for  I 
'know  Svhom  I  have  'believed, 
and  am  persuaded  that  ^'he  is 
able  to  keep  that  which  I  have 
committed  unto  him  against  that 
'•'"■"day. 

13  "-^Hold  fast  the  form  of 
'sound  words,  which  thou  hast 
heard  of  me,  in  'faith  and  ''love 
which  is  in  Christ  Je'sus. 

14  That  good  thing  which  was 
committed  unto  thee^'^eep  by 
the  *Holy  Ghost  which  dwelleth 
in  us. 

15  This  thou  knowest,  that  all 
they  which  are  in  'A'sia  be  turn- 
ed away  from  me;  of  whom  are 
Phv-ji'el'his  and  Iler-mog'e-nes. 

16  "The  Lord  give  ''mercy  unto 
the  house  of  "'On-e-sTph'o-riis; 
for  *he  oft  ^refreshed  ^me,  and 
was  not  ashamed  of  my  chain: 

17  But,  when  "'he  was  in  Rome, 
^he  sought  me  out  very  diligent- 
ly, and  found  me. 

18  "The  Lord  grant  unto  liim 
that  he  may  find  '^mercy  of  the 
Lord  in  that  day:  and  in  how 
many  things  he  ministered  unto 
me  at  *Epli'e-sus,  thou  knowest 
very  well. 

CHAPTER  2 

Timothy  is  again  exhorted  to  faithfulness  in 
preaching  the  gospel.  10  and  to  shun  pro- 
fane and  vain  balMings.  19  The  foun- 
dation of  the  Lord  is  sure.  22  What 
Timothy  is  to  avoid,  and  what  to  follow. 
24  The  servant  of  the  Lord  must  not  strive. 

THOU  therefore,  my  son,  "be 
^strong  in  the  grace  that  is 
in  Christ  Je'.sus. 
2   And   "the   things   that   thou 

to  ministers,  vs.  3,  14-16,  22,  23;  Deut.  8:2. 
and  qualifications  of,  Rom.  15:16. 


hast  heard  of  me  among  many 
witnesses,  the  same  commit  thou 
to  ^faithful  men,  who  shall  be 
able  to  '^' ''teach  others  also. 

3  ^'"•''Thou  therefore  ^'^endure 
^hardness,  as  a  good  '^-^soldier  of 
Je'sus  Christ. 

4  ^•'•■^No  ''man  tiiat  warreth  en- 
tangleth  himself  with  the  affairs 
of  this  life;  that  he  may  please 
him  who  ^hath  chosen  him  to  be 
a  soldier. 

5  And  'if  a  man  also  '^strive  for 
masteries,  yet  is  he  not  '"crowned, 
except  he  strive  lawfully. 

6  The  "husbandman  that  la- 
boureth  must  be  first  partaker 
of  tlie  fruits. 

7  Consider  what  I  say;  ^and  the 
Lord  give  thee  "'"understanding 
in  all  things. 

8  Remember  that  Je'sus  Christ 
of  the  seed  of  Da'vid  was  ^raised 
from  the  dead  according  to  my 
gospel : 

"  9  Wherein  "•  «I  ^suffer  ^-  trouble, 
as  an  evil  doer,  even  unto  bonds; 
but  the  'word  of  God  is  not 
bound. 

10  Therefore  I  ^endure  all 
things  "for  the  ^elect's  sakes, 
that  they  may  also  obtain  the 
'"salvation  which  is  in  ^Christ 
Je'sus  with    ^eternal  glory. 

l\  It  is  a  faitliful  saying:  For  if 
we  "be  Mead  with  liim,  "we  shall 
also  ''live  witli    Jiiiii: 

12  If  we  '^suffer,  "•'^we  shall  also 
''reign  with  him:  if  we  ^deny  1dm, 
he  also  will   "deny  us: 

13  If  we  ^believe  not,  yet  he 
abidetli  "faithful:  he  cannot  deny 
himself. 

14  Of  these  things  put  them,  'n

CHAPTER  3 

Titus  is  furtlier  directed  to  teach  men  to 
obey  magistrates,  and  to  be  gentle  to  all. 

8  Believers  are  to  maintain  good  ivories. 

9  He  is  to  avoid  foolish  questions;  10  and 
to  reject  obstinate  heretics.  12  Where  he 
is  to  meet  the  apostle. 

PUT  them  in  mind  to  ^•'^•''be 
^subject  to  principalities 
and    powers,    to    ^obey    magis- 


trates,   to   be    "ready   to   every 
*good   work, 

2  To  *• 'speak  evil  of  no  man. 
Ho  be  no  ^brawlers,  but  '•'"gen- 
tle, shewing  all  '""^meekness  unto 
all  men. 

3  "For  we  ourselves  also  were 
^sometimes  foolish,  '^disobedient, 
deceived,  serving  divers  ^lusts 
and  '■pleasures,  living  in  *malice 
and  'envy,  hateful,  a7id  "hating 
one  another. 

4  But  after  that  the  "kindness 
and  "love  of  God  our  ^Saviour 
toward  man  appeared, 

5  Not  by  ^works  of  righteous- 
ness which  we  have  done,  but  ac- 
cording to  his^mercy  he  -^-"saved 
us,  by  the ''■'"■''washing  of  *regen- 
eration,  and  renewing  of  the 
^Holy  Ghost; 

G  Which  he  shed  on  us  abun- 
dantly through  Je'sus  Christ  ovu' 
''Saviour; 

7  That  being  "•''justified  by  his 
'grace,  we  should  be  made  heirs 
according  to  the  'hope  of  '■'•'eter- 
nal '"life. 

8  This  is  a  faithful  saying,  and 
these  things  I  will  that  thou 
"affirm  ^constantly,  that  they 
which  have  "believed  in  God 
might  be  careful  to  maintain 
''•^good  works.  Th^se  things 
are  good  and  profitable  unto 
men. 

9  But  ''avoid  foolish  questions, 
and  ^genealogies,  and  'conten- 
tions, and  strivings  about  tlie 
law;  for  they  are  unprofitable 
and    vain.

angels  doth  he 
give  help,  but  he 
giveth  help  to 
the  seed 


honour,  and  didst  "set  him  over 
the  works  of  thy  hands: 

8  ^Thou  hast  put  all  things  *in 
subjection  under  his  feet.  For  in 
that  he  put  all  in  subjection  un- 
der him,  he  left  nothing  that  is 
not  put  under  him.  But  now  we 
see  not  yet  all  things  put  under 
him. 

9  But  we  ^see  Je'.sus,  who  was 
'made  a  little  lower  than  the  "an- 
gels for  the  suffering  of  death, 
"crowned  with  glory  and  hon- 
our; '^that  he  by  the  grace  of  God 
should  "''  ^taste  death  ^for  every 
man. 

10  For  it  became  ^liim,  for 
whom  are  all  things,  and  by 
whom  are  all  things,  in  "bringing 
many  *sons  unto  glory,  to  make 
the  ^captain  of  their  '^salvation 
"^perfect  through  "sufferings. 

11  For  both  he  that  ^sanctifi- 
eth  and  they  who  are  ''sanctified 
are  all  ''of  one:  for  which  cause 
lie  is  *not  ashamed  to  call  them 
brethren, 

12  Saying,  ■'•^I  will  declare  thy 
name  vmto  my  brethren,  in  the 
midst  of  the  ^''church  will  I  sing 
'"praise  unto  thee. 

13  And  again,  I  will  put  my 
trust  in  him.  And  again,  "Be- 
hold ''I  and  the  children  which 
God  hath  given  me. 

14  Forasmuch  then  as  the  chil- 
dren are  partakers  of  flesh  and 
blood,  he  also  himself  likewise 
"took  part  of  the  same;  that 
^through  *death  he  ''miffht  de- 
stroy  him  that  had  the  power  of 
death,  that  is,  the  *devil; 

15  And  deliver  them  who 
through  fear  of  'death  were  all 
their  lifetime  subject  to  bondage. 

16  For  verily  ^he  took  not  on 
him  the  nature  of  "angels;  but 
he  "took  on  him  the  seed  of 
*'A'bra-ham. 

17  Wherefore  in  all  things  it 
behoved  him  to  be  made  like 
unto  his  brethren,  that  he  might 


be  a  merciful  and  ""faithful  high 
•Spriest  in  things  pertaining  to 
God,  to  make  ^  ^'^reconciliation 
for  the  sins  of  the  people. 

18  For  in  that  he  himself  hath 
"suffered  being  ^tempted,  he  is 
•^able  to  succour  them  that  are 
'^tempted. 

CHAPTER  3 

Christ  is  more  worthy  than  Moses:  7  there- 
fore if  we  believe  not  in  him,  we  shall  be 
more  worthy  of  punishment  than  unbe- 
lieving Israel. 

WHEREFORE,  holy  breth- 
ren, "partakers  of  the 
heavenly  ^calling,  "^consider  the 
Apostle  and  High  ''Priest  of  our 
^profession,  Christ  Je'§us; 

2  Who  was  ''•^faithful  to  him  that 
appointed  him,  as  also  "Mouses 
was  ^•''faithful  in  all  his  house. 

3  For  "this  man  was  counted 
wortliy  of  more  glory  than  ''Mo'- 
ses,  inasmuch  as  he  who  hath 
builded  the  house  hath  more  hon-

12  'Take  heed,  brethren,  lest 
there  be  in  any  of  you  an  "evil 
heart  of  *unbelief,  in  departing 
from  the  living  God. 

13  But  exhort  one  another

lest  any  of  you  be  hardened

you  should  seem  to  come  short 
of  it. 

2  For  Hmto  us  was  the  ''gospel 
'preached,  as  well  as  unto  them : 
but  the  'word  preached  did  not 
profit  them,  not  being  mixed 
with  "faitli  in  them  that  heard  it. 

3  For  we  which  have  "believed 
do  enter  into  ''■'rest,  as  he  said, 
'As  I  have  ^-'sworn  in  my  '"wrath, 
^if  they  shall  enter  into  my 
"•"rest:  although  the  ^works 
were  finished  from  the  foun- 
dation  of   the   world. 

4  For  he  spake  in  a  certain 
place  of  the  ^seventh  day  on  this 
wise,  ''And  (rod  did  'rest  the  sev- 
enth day  from  all  his  ^works. 

5  And  in  this  place  again,  ^If 
they  shall  enter  into  my  "■"rest. 

6  Seeing  tlierefore  it  remaineth 
that  some  must  enter  therein, 
and  they  to  whom  ^it  was  first 
preached  entered  not  in  because 
of  unbelief: 

7  Again,  he  limiteth  a  certain 
day,  saying  in  DaVid,  To  day, 
after  so  long  a  time;  as  it  is  said, 
To  day  if  ye  will  hear  his  voice, 
^•'•"harden  not  your  hearts. 

8  For  if  ^'"Je'sus  had  given 
them  rest,  then  would  he  not 
afterward  have  spoken  of  an- 
other day. 

9  '"There  remaineth  therefore  a 
^•^rest  to  the  ])eople  of  God. 

10  For  he  that  is  entered  into 
his  ^rest,  he  also  hath  ceased 
from  his  own  ^works,  as  God 
did  from   his.

12  For  the  '^word  of  God  is

piercing  even  to  the  dividing

ture that  is  not  manifest  in  his 
sight:  but  all  things  are  naked 
and  opened  unto  the  eyes  of  him 
with  whom  we  have  to  do. 

14  ''Seeing  then  that  we  have  a 
great  high  '^priest,  that  is  ^passed 
into  the  heavens,  Je'.sus  the  *Son 
of  God,  let  us  hold  fast  our  ^''pro-

15  For  '-'"we  have  not  an  high 
'priest  which  "cannot  be  touched 
with  the  feeling  of  our  infirm- 
ities; but  was  in  all  points 
"tempted  like  as  we  are,  yet 
''without   sin. 

16  *Let  us  therefore  ''•'come 
'boldly  unto  the  throne  of  "grace, 
that  we  may  obtain  *'mercy,  and

CHAPTER  5 

Of  the  high  priests  from  among  men;  5 
Christ's  priesthood  compared  with  theirs. 
11  Tlie  want  of  knowledge  respecting  the 
doctrines  of  the  gospel  reproved. 

FOR  every  "high  priest  taken 
from  among  men  is  ordained 
for  men    in    things    'pertaining \ 


to  God,  that  he  may  *otfer  both 
gifts  and  '^■'^sacrifices  for  sins: 

2  "Who  can  4iave  ''compassion 
on  the  "■'^ignorant,  and  on  them 
that  are  '^out  of  the  way;  for  that 
he  himself  also  is  compassed  with 
infirmity. 

3  And  by  reason  hereof  he 
ought,  as  for  the  people,  so  also 
for  himself,  to  *offer  for  sins. 

4  And  no  man  taketh  this  hon- 
our unto  himself,  but  he  that  is 
'■^called  of  God,  as  was  '^'Aar'on. 

5  So  also  Christ  glorified  not 
himself  to  be  made  an  high 
priest;  but  he  that  said  unto 
him,  '"'"Thou  art  my  "•■"Son,  to 
day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

6  As  he  saith  also  in  another 
place,  "''^Thou  art  a  Spriest  for 
ever  after  the  order  of  '■•*Mel-

7  Who  in  the  days  of  his  'flesh,

was  ^able  to  save  him  from

he  feared; 

8  Though  he  were  a  "Son,  yet 
^learned  he  *' '^obedience  by  the

The  guilt  and  danger  of  apostasv.  11  tie 
exhorts  them  to  be  steadfast  and  diligenl,

THEREFORE  leaving  the 
'principles  of  the  °'*doc- 
trine  of  Christ,  ''■'^let  us  *go  on 
unto  *perfection;  not  laying 
again  the  foundation  of  ''repent-

3  And  this  will  we  do,  if  God 
'"permit. 

4  For  it  is  impossible  for  those 
who  were  once  "^' "enlightened, 
and  have  tasted  of  the  heavenly 
gift,  and  were  made  "partakers 
of  the  "Holy  Ghost, 

5  And  have  tasted  the  good

of  the  ^world  to  come, 

6  If  they  shall  '•''•^fall  away,  to 
renew  them  again  unto  ^repent- 
ance ;  seeing  they  'crucify  to  them- 
selves the  "Son  of  God  afresh, 
and  put  him  to  an  open  shame. 

7  For  the  earth  which  drinketh 
in  the  rain  that  cometh  oft  upon 
it,  and  bringeth  forth  herbs  meet 
for  ■'them  by  whom  it  is  dressed, 
rcceiveth  ^'blessing  from  God: 

8  But  that  which  beareth  thorns 
and  briers  is  "'rejected,  and  is 
nigh  unto  ^cursing;  whose  end  is 
to  be  "'burned. 

9  But,  ^'  "beloved,  we  are  per- 
suaded better  things  of  you,  and 
things  that  accompany  ^salva- 
tion, though  we  thus  speak. 

10  For  '^God  is  not  unrighteous 
to  forget  your  ''•Svork  and  la- 
bour of  ''love,  which  ye  have 
shewed  toward  his  name,  in  that 
ye  have  '^•^•^ministered  to  the 
saints,  and  do  minister. 

11  And  "we  desire  that  every

12  That  ye  be  not  "slothful,  but 
followers  of  ^'thein  who  througli 
^faith  and  ^patience  inherit  the 
"'promises. 

13  For  when  God  made  "prom- 
ise to  "A'bra-ham,  because  he 
could  swear  by  no  greater,  he 
^sware  by  himself, 

14  Saying,  ^Surely  blessing  I 
will  bless  thee,  and  multiplying  I 
will  multiply  thee. 

15  And  so,  after  he  had  pa- 
tiently ''endured,  he  obtained 
the   '"promise. 

16  For  men  verily  *swear  by  the 
greater:  and  an  oath  for  confir- 
mation is  to  them  an  end  of  all 
strife. 

17  Wherein  God,  'willing  more 
abundantly  to  shew  unto  the 
heirs  of  promise  the  "immutabil- 
ity of  his  counsel,  ^confirmed  it 
by  an  ^oath: 

18  That  by  tAvo  immutable 
things,  in  which  it  was  ''impossi- 
ble for  God  to  lie,  we  might  have 
a  strong  ^consolation,  who  have 
fled  for  ""refuge  to  lay  hold  upon 
the  %ope  set  before  us: 

19  Which  ^hope  we  have  as  an 
anchor  of  the  soul,  both  sure  and 
stedfast,  and  which  entereth  into 
that  within  the  ^veil; 

20  Whither  the  forerunner  is 
for  us  entered,  even  Je'sus,  made 
an  high  Spriest  for  ever  after  the

Melchisedcc;  11  and  so,  far  more  excellent 
than  tlie  priests  of  Aaron's  order. 

FOR  this  "•''Mel-chi.s'e-dec, 
kingof  Sa'lem,  ^priestof  ^the 
'^mosthigli  God,  who  met  ^A'bra- 
ham  returning  from  the  slaughter 
of  the  kings,  and  blessed  him; 

2  To  whom  also  ^A'bra-ham 
gave  a  ''tenth  part  of  all;  first  be- 
ing by  interpretation  King  of 
rigliteousness,  and  after  that  also 
King  of  Sa'lem,  which  is,  King 
of  peace; 


3  Without  father,  without 
mother,  without  ^•''descent,  hav- 
ing neither  beginning  of  days, 
nor  end  of  life;  but  made  like 
unto  the  ''Son  of  God;  abideth 
a  priest  continually. 

4  Now  consider  how  great  this 
"man  was,  unto  whom  even  the 
patriarch  '^A'bra-ham  gave  the 
''tenth  of  the  ^spoils. 

5  And  verily  they  that  are  of  the 
sons  of  Le'vl,  who  receive  the 
office  of  the  priesthood,  have  a 
commandment  to  take  ''■'tithes 
of  the  people  according  to  the 
^iaw,  that  is,  of  their  brethren, 
tliough  they  come  out  of  the  loins 
of  ''A'bra-ham: 

6  But  "■''he  whose  -■^descent 
is  not  counted  from  tliem  re- 
ceived ''■'tithes  of  '^A'bra-ham, 
and  ^blessed  him  that  had  the 
'promises. 

7  And  without  all  contradiction 
the  less  is  bles.sed  of  the  better. 

8  And  here  men  that  die  receive 
''■'tithes;  but  there  ''he  receiveth 
them,  of  whom  it  is  witnessed 
that  he  liveth. 

9  And  as  I  may  so  say,  '"Le'vl 
also,  who  receiveth  ''■'tithes, 
payed  tithes  in  ''A'bra-ham. 

10  For  he  was  yet  in  the  loins  of 
his  father,  when  "Mel-chis'e-dec 
met  him. 

11  If  therefore  perfection  were 
by  the  Le-vit'i-cal  priesthood, 
(for  under  it  the  people  received 
the  'law,)  what  further  need  was 
there  that  another  "priest  should 
rise  after  the  order  of  "■*Mel- 
chis'e-dec,  and  not  be  called 
after  the  order  of  "Aar'on  ? 

12  For  the  priesthood  being 
changed,  there  is  made  of  neces- 
sity a  change  also  of  the  'laAV. 

13  For  he  of  whom  these  things 
are  spoken  pertaineth  to  another 
tribe,  of  which  no  man  gave  at- 
tendance at  the  ^altar. 

14  Lor  it  is  evident  that  our 
Lord  ^sprang  out  of  '"JiVda;  of

15  And  ^it  is  yet  far  more  evi- 
dent: for  that  after  the  similitutle 
of  "•'']Mel-chi.s'e-dgc  there  arise th 
another  "priest, 

16  Who  is  made,  not  after  the 
law  of  a  carnal  commandment, 
but  after  the  power  of  an  endless 
life 

17  For  he  testifieth,  "-'-"Thou 
art  a  priest  for  ever  after  the  or- 
der of  "•"Mel-chis'e-dec. 

18  For  there  is  verily  a  disan- 
nulling of  the  ''commandment 
gt)ing  before  for  the  weakness 
and  unprofitableness  thereof. 

19  For  the  ^law  made  notii- 
ing  perfect,  but  the  bringing  in 
of  a  better  ^•Hi.opedld;  ^by  the 
which  we  ^draw  nigh  unto  God. 

20  And  inasmucli  ^as  not  with- 
out an  oath  ]ie  ivas  made  prwst: 

21  (For  those  priests  were 
"•*made  without  an  oath;  but 
this  with  an  ''oath  by  him  that 
said  unto  him,  '^•*The  Lord 
sware  and  will  not  repent,  Thou 
art  a  Spriest  for  ever  ^after  the 
order  of  ''Mel-chts'e-dec:) 

22  By  so  much  was  'Me'sus 
made  a  surety  of  a  better  ^•'■'tes- 
tament. 

23  And  they  truly  were  many 
^■priests,  because  they  were  not 
suffered  to  continue  by  reason  of 
death: 

24  But  this  man,  becau.se  he 
'continueth  ever,  hath  an  un- 
changeable ''priesthood. 

25  Wherefore  '"he  is  "able  also 
to  "-''save  them  to  the  uttermost 
that  ''"''come  unto  God  ^'^by  him,

CHAPTER  8 

Christ  the  minister  of  the  heavenly  sanctuari/. 

6  The  Levitical  priesthood  abolished  by  tlie 
more  excellent  ministry  of  Christ,  tlie  me- 
diator of  a  better  covenant. 

IVrOW  of  the  things  which  we 
^y  have  spoken  th  is  is  the  sum : 
We  have  such  an  high  ''priest, 
who  is  ''•''set  on  the  right  hand  of 
the  ''throne  of  the  ''Majesty  in  the 
''heavens; 

2  A  minister  of  the  ''•''sanctu- 
ary, and  of  the  true  Habernacle, 
which  the  Lord  pitched,  and  not 
man. 

3  For  every  high  priest  is  or- 
dained to  ^offer  gifts  and  sacri- 
fices: wherefore  it  is  of  necessity 
that  this  hnan  have  somewhat 
also  to  offer. 

4  For  if  he  were  on  earth,  he 
should  not  be  a  priest,  seeing 
that  there  are  priests  that  offer 
gifts  according  to  the  ^law: 

5  Who  serve  ^unto  the  example 
and  shadow  of  heavenly  things, 
as  'Mo'se.s  was  admonished  of 
God  when  he  was  about  to  make 
the  tabernacle:  for,  '"See,  saith 
he,  that  thou  make  all  things  ac- 
cording to  the  "'"pattern  shewed 
to  thee  in  the  ^mount. 

G  But  now  hath  he  obtained  a 
more  excellent  ministry,  by  how 
much  also  he  is  the  'mediator  of 
a  better  ''•'covenant,  which  was 
established  upon  better  prom- 
ises.

had  been  faultless,  then  should 
no  place  have  been  sought  for 
the  second. 

S  For  finding  fault  with  them, 
he  saith,  "-""Behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  when  I 
will  make  a  *new  covenant  with 
the  house  of  ^Is'ra-el  and  with 
the  house  of   ^Ju'dah: 

9  Not  according  to  the  ^-  "cove- 
nant that  I  made  with  their  ^fa- 
thers in  the  day  when  I  took 
them  by  the  hand  to  lead  them 
out  of  the  land  of  ^E'gypt;  be- 
cause they  "continued  not  in  my 
covenant,  and  I  regarded  them 
not,  saitli  the  Lord. 

10  For  this  is  the  ^covenant  that 
I  will  make  with  the  house  of 
'"Is'ra-el  after  those  days,  saith 
the  Lord;  I  will  put  my  ''laws 
into  their  mind,  and  write  them 
in  their  hearts:  and  I  will  be  to 
them  a  God,  and  they  shall  be  to 
me  a  people: 

11  And  they  shall  not  teach 
every  man  his  ^neighbour,  and 
every  man  his  brother,  saying, 
Know  the  Lord:  for  ''all  shall 
know  me,  from  the  least  to  the 
greatest. 

12  For  I  will  be  ''merciful  to 
their  unrighteousness,  and  their 
sins  and  their  iniquities  "will  I 
remember  no  more. 

13  In  that  he  saith,  A  *new  cov- 
enant, he  hath  made  the  ''•'first 
old.  Now  that  which  decayeth 
and  waxeth  old  is  ready  to  van- 
ish away. 

CHAPTER  9 

The  description  of  the  rites  and  bloody  sacri- 
fices of  the  law,  11  tchich  are  far  inferior 
to  Die  dignity  and  perfection  of  tiie  blood 
and  sacrifice  of  Christ. 

THEN  verily  the  first  ''•^cove- 
nanth^d  also  ordinances  of 
divine  service,  and  *a  worldly 
''•''sanctuary. 


2  For  there  was  a  '"tabernacle 
made;  the  first,  wherein  was  the 
^candlestick,  and  the  "table,  and 
the  shewbread;  which  is  called 
the  ^•''•^sanctuary. 

3  And  after  the  •'second  veil,  the 
^tabernacle  which  is  called  the 
3- ^Holiest  of  all; 

4  Which  had  the  golden  'censer, 
and  the  '"ark  of  the  covenant 
overlaid  round  about  with  "gold, 
wherein  ivas  the  golden  pot  that 
had  "manna,  and  Aar'on's  ^rod 
that  budded,  and  the  "tables  of 
the  covenant; 

5  And  over  it  the  ''cherubims  of 
glory  shadowing  the  *mercyseat; 
of  which  we  cannot  now  speak 
particularly. 

6  Now  when  these  things  were 
thus  ordained,  the  priests  went 
always  into  the  *first  tabernacle, 
^accomplishing  the  service  0/ 
God. 

7  But  into  the  ^second  went  the 
"high  priest  alone  ^once  every 
year,  not  without  "'blood,  which 
he  offered  for  himself,  and  jar 
the  errors  of  the  people: 

S  The  ^Holy  Ghost  this  signify- 
ing, that  the  ^way  into  the  holi- 
est of  all  was  not  yet  made  mani- 
fest, while  as  the  first  tabernacle 
was  yet  standing: 

9  Which  was  a  *figure  for  the 
time  then  present,  in  which  were 
offered  both  gifts  and  ^sacrifices, 
that  "could  not  make  him  that 
did  the  service  perfect,  as  per- 
taining to  the  ^conscience; 

10  Which  stood  only  in  meats 
and  drinks,  and  divers  "^^ '^wash- 
ings, and  carnal  ''ordinances,  im- 
posed on  them  until  the  time  of 
reformation.

12  Neither  by  the  "blood  of 
goats  and  calves,  but  by  his  own 
''blood  he  entered  in  once  into 
the  holy  ])lace,  ^''having  obtained 
eternal  ^'redemption  ^for  ?/.?. 

13  For  if  the  blood  of  'bulls  and 
of  goats,  and  the  '"ashes  of  an 
"heifer  "sprinkling  the  unclean, 
sanctifieth  to  the  '^purifying  of 
the  flesh: 

14  How  much  more  shall  the 
''blood  of  ^Christ,  wlio  through 
the  eternal  ^''Spirit  offered  him- 
self '■*  'without  "spot  to  ^God, 
t',!«,  ipyj.gg  your  conscience  from 
dead  ^works  to  ^serve  the  living 
God  ? 

15  And  for  this  cause  he  is  the 
"mediator  of  the  *new  ^testa- 
ment, that  by  means  of  Meath, 
for  the  '^redemption  of  the  trans- 
gressions that  were  under  the 
first  ^testament,  they  which  are 
^called  might  receive  the  'prom- 
ise of  "  ''eternal  '^■•'inheritance. 

16  For  where  a  ^testament  is, 
there  must  also  of  necessity  be 
the  death  of  the  testator. 


17  For  a  'testament  is  of  force 
after  men  are  dead:  otherwise  it 
is  of  no  strength  at  all  while  the 
testator  liveth. 

IS^Whereupon  neither  the  ^first 
testament  was  dedicated  without 
^blood. 

19  For  when  'Mouses  had  spo- 
ken every  precept  to  all  the  peo- 
ple according  to  the  *^law,  he 
took  tlie  M)lood  of  '"calves  and 
of  goats,  with  water,  and  '^scarlet 
wool,  and  "hyssop,  and  ^sprin- 
kled both  the  book,  and  all  the 
peojile, 

20  Saying,  ^This  is  the  blood  of 
the  ^■''testament  which  God  hath 
enjoined  unto  you. 

21  INIoreover  he  ^sprinkled 
with  ■''blood  both  the  'tabernacle, 
and  all  the  vessels  of  the  minis- 
try. 

22  And  ^almost  all  things  are  by 
the  ^'law  'purged  with  ■'■•"blood; 
and  without  'shedding  of  blood 
is  no  ^'remission. 

23  It  was  therefore  necessary 
that  the  "'■^patterns  of  things  in 
the  heavens  should  be  purified 
with  these;  but  the  heavenly 
things  themselves  with  better  sac- 
rifices than  these. 

24  For  Christ  is  not  entered  in- 
to the  holy  places  made  with 
hands,  which  are  the  *•  ^figures 
of  the  true;  but  ^into  heaven  it-

25  Nor  yet  that  he  should  offer 
himself  often,  as  the  ''high  priest 
entereth  into  the  ''holy  place  ^ev- 
ery year  with''"''^blood  of  others; 

26  For  then  must  he  often  have 
suffered  since  the  foundation  of 
the  world:  but  now  once  in  the 
end  of  the  ^''world  hath  he  ap- 
peared *to  put  away  'sin  by  the 
''^ ''sacrifice  of  himself. 

27  And  as  it  is  appointed  untt) 
'men  once  to  Mie,  but  after  this 
the  '''judgment: 

28  So  Christ  was  once  ^offered 
''to  ''bear  the  sins  of  many;  and 
unto  ^them  that  '"look  for  him 
shall  he  appear  the  "second  time 
without  "sin  unto  ^salvation. 

CHAPTER  10 

The  treakness  of  the  law  sacrifices.  10  The 
sacrifice  of  Christ's  body,  once  offered,  14 
for  ever  has  taken  away  sins.  19  An 
exhortation  to  hold  fast  the  faith,  with  pa- 
tience and  thanksgiving.  38  The  Just 
shall  live  by  faith. 

FOR  the  "law  having  a  *shadow 
of  ''•''good  things  to  come, 
and  not  the  very  image  of  the 
things,  can  never  with  those 
''•''sacrifices  which  they  offered 
year  by  year  continually  make 
the  comers   thereunto  perfect. 

2  For  then  would  tiiey  not 
have  ceased  to  be  offered  ?  be- 
cause that  the  worshippers  once 
'purged  should  have  had  no 
more   ^conscience  of  sins. 

3  But  in  those  sacrifices  there  is 
a  remembrance  again  viacle  of 
sins  ^every  year. 

4  For  it  is  not  possible  that  the 
'blood  of  bulls  and  of  goats 
should  take  away  sins. 

5  Wherefore  when  he  cometh 
into  the  world,  he  saith,  ^'Sacri-

thou  wouldest  not,  neither  hadst

taketh  away  the  ^first,  that  he 
may  establish  the  ^second. 

10  By  the  which  ''•''will  we  are

of  the  body  of  Je'sus  Christ  once 
for  all. 

11  And  every  priest  standeth 
daily  'ministering  and  offering 
oftentimes  the  same  '"sacrifices, 
which  can  never  '"take  away

hath  ^perfected  for  ever  them 
that  are  ''sanctified.

liest by  the  "•■'blood  of  Je'sus, 

20  By  a  new  and  living  *way, 
which  he  hath  consecrated  for 
us,  through  the  veil,  that  is  to 
say,  his  'flesh; 

21  And  having  ®an  *high '"priest 
over  the  "house  of  God; 

22  Jjet  us  draw  near  with  a  true 
heart  in^full  ^assurance  of  "faith, 
having  our  ^hearts  ^•'■•*s])rinkled 
from  an  evil  ^conscience,  and  our 
bodies  washed  with  pure  water. 

23  "'"Let  us  "hold  fast  the  ^pro- 
fession of  our  faith  without  wav- 
ering; (for  he  is  ^faithful  that 
''j)romised;) 

24  And  let  us  consider  one  an- 
other to  ^Drovoke  unto  "love  and 
to  *good  works: 

25  Not  forsaking  the  '^assem- 
bling of  ourselves  together,  as 
the  manner  of  some  is;  but  ex- 
horting one  anotJier:  and  so  much 
the  more,  as  ye  see  the  day  ap- 
proaching. 

20  For  if  we  ''•'^sin  wilfully  af- 
ter that  we  have  ''received  the 
^knov\-ledge  of  the  ''truth,  there 
remaineth  no  more  \sacrifice  for 
sins, 

27  But  a  certain  'fearful  looking 
for  of  ^judgment  and  ^fiery  in- 
dignation, which  .shall  'devour

CHAPTER  11 

What  faith  is.  2  Its  efficacy  and  poiver 
iUuslraled  Ijy  the  example  of  many  saints 
mentioned  in  the  Scriptures. 

NOW  "faith  is  'the  substance 
of  things  ''hoped   for,  the 
evidence  of  things  not  seen. 

2  For  ^by  it  the  '^elders  obtained 
a  good  report. 

3  Through  "faith  we  under- 
stand that  the  worlds  were 
''framed  by  the  word  of  *God,  so 
that  things  which  are  seen  were 
not  made  of  things  which  do 
a])|)ear. 

4  By  "faith  ^A'bel  offered  unto 
God  a  more  excellent  "sacrifice 
than ''Cain,  by  which  he  obtained 
witness  that  he  was  '^righteous, 
God  testifying  of  his  gifts:  and  by 
it  he  being  dead  ^yet  speaketh. 

5  By  "faith  ''E'noch  was  *trans- 
lated  that  he  should  'not  see 
™death;  and  was  not  found,  be- 
cause God  had  translated  him: 
for  before  his  translation  he  had 
this  testimony,  that  he  pleased 
God. 

6  But  "without  "faith  it  is  im- 
possible to  please  him:  for  he 
that  "•''cometh  to  God  must  "be- 
lieve that  he  is,  and  that  'he  is 
a  ''rewarder  of  *tliem  that  dili- 
gently seek   him. 

7  By  "faith  'No'ah,  being 
"warned  of  God  of  "things  not 
seen  as  yet,  moved  with  ^-'"fear,

•'prepared  an  ^ark  to  the  saving 
of  his  house;  by  the  which  he 
condemned  the  world,  and  be- 
came %eir  of  the  righteousness 
which  is  by  faith. 

8  By  "faith  M'bra-ham,  when 
he  was  '^called  to  go  out  into  a 
''place  which  he  should  after  re- 
ceive for  an  inheritance,  ^obeyed; 
and  he  went  out,  not  knowing 
whither  he  went. 

9  By  "faith  he  sojourned  in  the 
''land  of  ''promise,  as  in  a  strange 
country,  dwelling  in  ^taberna- 
cles  with  "F-saac  and  ''Ja'cob, 
the  heirs  with  him  of  the  same 
promise: 

10  For  he  "looked  for  a  ^-^'-^city 
which  hath  foundations,  whose 
builder  and  maker  is  God. 

11  Through  "faith  also  'Sa'ra 
herself  received  strength  to  '"con- 
ceive seed,  and  was  delivered  of 
a  child  when  she  was  past  age, 
because  she  judged  him  "'faithful 
who  had  promised. 

12  Therefore  sprang  there  even 
of  ''one,  and  him  as  good  as  dead, 
so  ^many  as  the  stars  of  the  sky 
in  multitude,  and  as  the  sand 
which  is  by  the  sea  shore  in- 
numerable. 

13  These  all  Mied  in  "faith,  not 
having  received  the  promises, 
but  having  seen  thern  ^afar  off, 
and  were  'persuaded  of  them, 
and  embraced  them,  and  con- 
fessed that  they  were  strangers 
and  pilgrims  On  the  earth. 

14  For  they  that  say  such  things 
''declare  plainly  that  ''they  seek  a 
country. 

15  And  truly,  if  they  had  been 
mindful  of  that  country  from 
whence  they  came  out,  tliey 
might  have  had  opportunity  to 
*have  returned. 

16  But  now  they  desire  a  better 
country,  that  is,  an  'heavenly: 
wherefore  God  is  'not  ashamed

CHAPTER  12 

An  exhortation  to  constant  faith,  patience, 
and  godliness.  22  A  commendation  of 
the  new  covenant  above  the  old. 

WHEREFORE  seeing  we  al- 
so are  compassed  about 
with  so  great  a  cloud  of  *wit- 
ncsses,  "let  us  "•'^lay  aside  every 
weight,  and  the  '^sin  which  doth 
so  easily  beset  us,  and  let  us  ^run 
with  ^patience  the  ^race  that  is 
set  Ijefore  us, 

2  Ivooking  unto  ''Je'sus  the  au- 
thor and  'finisher  of  our  *faith; 
who  for  the  joy  that  was  set  be- 
fore him  ^endured  the  *cross, 
'despising  the  shame,  and  is  set 
down  ™-"at  the  riglit  hand  of  the 
"throne  of  God. 

3  For  ^consider  'Hiim  that 
endured  such  '''contradiction  of 
sinners  against  ^himself,  '^lest  ye 
be  wearied  and  *faint  in  your 
^  minds. 

4  Ye  have  not  yet  resisted  unto 
blood,  striving  against  sin. 

5  And  ye  have  forgotten  the  ex- 
hortation which  speaketh  unto 
you  as  unto  children,  'My  son, 
despi.se  not  thou  the  ''chastening 
of  the  Lord,  nor  faint  when  thou 
art  rebuked  of  him: 

6  ^For  whom  the  Lord  ^loveth 
he  "chasteneth,  and  scourgeth 
every  "'son  whom  he  receiveth. 

7  ^If  ye  endure  "chastening, 
"God  dealeth  with  you  as  with 
'"sons;  for  -^what  son  is  he  Avhom 
the  '^father  chasteneth  not  ? 

8  But  if  ye  be  without  "chas- 
tisement, whereof  all  are  par- 
takers, then  are  ye  ^bastards, 
and  not  sons. 

9  Furthermore   we   have   had 


A.D.  64 

See  footnote,  Time, 
Rev.  10:6. 


^fathers  of  our  flesh  which  ^cor- 
rected us,  and  we  gave  them  rev- 
erence: shall  we  not  much  rather 
be  in  subjection  unto  the  ''Father 
of  spirits,  and  live  ? 

10  For  ''they  verily  for  a  few 
days  "^chastened  us  ^after  their 
own  pleasure;  but  °he  ''for  our 
profit,  '"that  ice  might  be  ^par- 
takers of  his  ^holiness. 

11  Now  no  ''chastening  for  the 
present  seemeth  to  be  joyous, 
but  grievous :  nevertheless  ^after- 
ward it  yieldeth  the  peaceable 
fruit  of  righteousness  unto  them 
which  are  exercised  thereby. 

12  *  Wherefore  ^'^lift  up  the 
hands  which  hang  down,  and 
the  ^feeble  knees; 

13  And  *make  straight  i)aths 
for  your  feet,  lest  that  which  is 
lame  be  turned  out  of  the  'way; 
but  let  it  rather  be  healed. 

14  '"Follow  "peace  with  all  weu, 
and  ''■"holiness,  ^without  which 
no  man  shall  see  the  Lord: 

15  ''•'^Looking  ''■Miligently  'lest 
any  man  fail  of  the  "grace  of 
God;  lest  any  ''■"'root  of  bitter- 
ness springing  up  trouble  you, 
and  thereby  many  be  defiled; 

16  '^■''Lest  there  he  any  ^-^for- 
nicator, or  profane  person,  as 
^•"E'sau,  who  ''for  one  ^morsel 
of  meat  sold  his  '^birthright. 

17  For  ye  know  how  that  after- 
ward, when  he  would  have  in- 
herited the  blessing,  he  was  re- 
jected: for  he  found  no  place  ^"of 
repentance,  though  he  sought  it 
^carefully  with  tears. 

18  For  ye  are  not  come  unto  the 
''mount  that  might  be  touched, 
and  that  burned  with  fire,  nor

Divers  admonitions  as  to  love  and  fwspitul-

clusion. 

"T  ET    ''brotherly    '^love    con-

2  ^•''Be  not  forgetful  to  en- 
tertain strangers:  for  thereby 
some  have  '^entertained  'angels 
unawares. 

3  '•''■'^ Remember  them  that  are 
in  'bond.s,  as  bound  with  them; 
and  them  ^which  suffer  adver- 
sity, as  being  yourselves  also  in 
the  body. 

4  ^' ^Marriage  is  honourable 
in  all,  and  the  bed  undefiled: 
but  whoremongers  and  'adulter- 
ers God  will  '"judge. 

5  *''^'°Let  your  conversation  he 
without  covctousness;  and  ^bc 
content  with  such  things  as  ye 
have:  for  he  hath  said,  «■>'■•«• 'I 
will  never  leave  thee,  nor  for-

''■"The  ''Lord  is  my  ^helper,  anrl 
I  will  not  fear  what  man  shall  do

CHAPTER  1 


Tlie  apostle's  snlutalion.  2  He  exhorts  his 
brethren  to  rejoiee  under  trials,  5  to  ask 
ivisdoni  of  Gnd,  1,3  and  not  to  impute  to 
him  their  temptations  to  sin.  16  TIic 
source  and  requirements  of  true  religion. 


"■  TAMES,  a  servant  of  God  and 
^      of  the  *Lord  Je'sus  Christ, 
to   the  twelve  tribes  which  are 
^' '^scattered  abroad,  greeting. 

2  jNIy  brethren,  '^count  it  all  *joy 
when  ye  fall  into  ^divers  ^'"temp- 
tations; 

3  Knowing  this,  that  the  ''trying 
of  your  faith  "worketh  ^patience. 

4  But  let  'patience  have  her  per- 
fect work,  that  ye  may  be  ^perfect 
and  entire,  wanting  nothing. 

5  If  any  of  you  *lack  Svisdom, 
let  him  ask  of  God,  that  "'giveth 
to  all  men.  liberally,  and  upbraid- 
eth  not;  and  "•"•^it  shall  be  given 
him. 

6  But  let  him  ask  in  ^faith, 
nothing  ^•''''wavering.  For  he 
that  *''wavereth  is  like  a  wave 
of  the  sea  driven  with  the  wind 
and  tossed. 

7  For  let  not  that  man  '"•"think 
that  he  shall  receive  any  thing  of 
the  Lord. 

8  A  ""double  minded  man  is 
*• 'unstable  in  all  his  ways. 

9  Let  the  brother  of  ^'  ^low  de- 
gree ^rejoice  in  that  he  is  exalted: 

10  But  the  ^rich,  in  that  he  is 
made  low :  because  '^as  the  flower 
of  the  *grass  he  shall  '^pass  away.

Y  brethren,  "■''have   not  the 
faith  of  our  "Lord  Je'sus 


Christ,  the  Lord  of  glory,  with 
''respect  of  persons. 

2  For  if  there  come  unto  your 
^'"assembly  a  ''man  with  a  gold 
ring,  in  goodly  apparel,  and 
there  come  in  also  a  "poor  man 
in  vile  raiment; 

3  And  ye  have  '^respect  to  him 
that  weareth  the  gay  clothing, 
and  say  unto  him,  Sit  thou  here 
in  a  good  place;  and  say  to  the 
"j)oor.  Stand  thou  there,  or  sit 
here  under  my  footstool: 

4  "Are  ye  not  then  ^partial 
in  yourselves,  and  are  become 
judges  of  evil  thoughts  ? 

5  Hearken,  my ''-'beloved  breth- 
ren. Hath  not  God  chosen  the 
■'poor  of  this  world  rich  in  faith, 
and  '4ieirs  of  the 'kingdom  which 
he  hath  '"promised  to  them  that 
"love  him  ? 

6  But  ye  have  ^despised  the 
poor.  Do  not  "rich  nicn  ^op- 
press you,  and  draw  you  before 
the  ^judgment  seats  ? 

7  Do  not  they  '^blaspheme  that 
worthy  'name  by  the  which  ye 
are  called  ? 

8  If  ye  fulfil  the  *royal  law  ac- 
cording to  the  scripture,  'Thou 
shalt  '''^love  thy  "neighbour  as 
thy.self,  ye  do  well: 

9  But  if  ye  have  '"respect  to  per- 
sons, ye  commit  ^sin,  %nd  are 
convinced  of  the  law  as  trans- 
gressors. 

10  For  whosoever  shall  ^keep 
the  whole  law,  and  yet  ^-  ^offend 
in  one  point,  he  is  guilty  of  all. 

11  For  he  that  said,  ^Do  not 
commit  "adultery,  said  also,  *Do 
not  ''kill.  Now  if  thou  commit  no 
adultery,  yet  if  thou  kill,  thou  art 
become  a  "transgressor  of  the 
law. 

12  So  speak  ye,  and  so  do,  as 
they  that  shall  be  "judged  by  the 
''law  of  liberty.

13  For  "'"he  shuU  have  ''judg- 
nient  without  ''mere}',  '^that  hath 
sliewed  no  mercy;  and  mercy 
rejoiceth  against  judgment. 

14  What  doth  it  profit,  my 
brethren,  though  a  man  ^say 
he  hath  ^faith,  and  have  not 
'■'"works?  can  '^faith  save  him? 

15  If  a  brotlier  or  sister  be 
"naked,  and  destitute  of  daily 
food, 

16  And  one  of  you  say  unto 
them,  Depart  in  peace,  be  i/e 
warmed  and  fiUed ;  notwithstand- 
ing ye  "'^give  them  not  those 
things  which  are  needful  to  the 
body;  what  dntli  it  profit? 

17  Even  so  ''faith,  if  it  hath  not 
^vorks,  is  dead,  ^being  alone. 

18  Yea,  a  man  may  say,  Thou 
hast  ^faith,  and  I  have  'works: 
shew  me  thy  faith  without  thy 
works,  and  I  will  shew  tliee  my 
faith  by  my  works. 

19  Thou  ^believest  that  there  is 
*one  God;  thou  doest  well:  the 
''devils  also  believe,  and  ^'^trein- 
ble. 

20  But  wilt  thou  know,  O  vain 
man,  that  faith  "without  'works 
is  dead  ? 

21  Was  not  ^\'ln'a-liam  our  fa- 
ther justified  by  'works,  when  he 
had  "offered  ^I'saac  his  son  upon 
the  altar  ? 

22  Seest  thou  how  ^faith 
wrought  with  his  'works,  and  by 
works  was  faith  made  perfect  ? 

23  And  the  scripture  was  ful- 
filled which  saith,  'A'bni-ham 
"'believed  God,  and  it  was  im- 
puted unto  him  for  ^-  ^righteous- 
ness: and  he  was  called  the 
Friend  of  God. 

24  Ye  see  then  how  that  by 
'works  a  man  is  justified,  and 
not  l)V  "faith  only. 

2.5  Likewise  also  was  not  ''Ra'- 
hab  the  harlot  justified  by 
''works,  when  she  had  received 


the  ''messengers,   and   had  sent 
them  out  another  way  ? 

2G  For  as  the  body  without  the 
'"spirit  is  dead,  so  "faith  without 
'^works  is  dead  also. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  apostle  dissuades  his  brethren  from 
being  too  forward  in  assiiiiinn;  llic  o/Jice  of 
teacher:  5  and  exhorts  them  to  hrullc  the 
tongue.  13  The  irisdoni  <if  the  u-iir!d  con- 
trasted with  that  whicli  is  from  above. 

MY  brethren,  be  not  many 
'masters,  knowing  that 
we  shall  receive  "the  greater 
condemnation. 

2  For  in  many  things  we  ^offend 
all.  If  any  man  '^offend  not  in 
''word,  the  same  is  a  '^perfect 
man,  and  able  also  to  britlle  the 
whole  body. 

3  Behold,  we  put  ''bits  in  the 
"^horses'  mouths,  that  they  may 
obey  us;  and  we  turn  about  their 
whole  body. 

4  Behold  also  the  ''ships,  which 
though  they  be  so  great,  and  are 
driven  of  ''fierce  winds,  yet  are 
they  turned  about  with  a  very 
small  ''helm,  whithersoever  the 
governor    listeth. 

5  Even  so  the  *tongue  is  a  lit- 
tle member,  and  ''boastetli  great 
things.  Behold,  how  "Vreat  a 
matter  a  little  'fire  kindleth! 

6  And  the  *tongue  r.v  a  fire,  a 
world  of  iniquity:  so  is  the  tongue 
among  our  members,  that  it  de- 
fileth  the  whole  body,  and  set- 
teth  on  fire  the  Vourse  of  na- 
ture; and  it  is  set  on  fire  of 
hell. 

7  For  every  kind  of  ^beasts,  and 
of  *^birds,  and  of  ''serpents,  and 
of  things  in  the  sea,  is  'tamed, 
and  liath  l)(>en  tamed  of  man- 
kind: 

8  But  the  *tongue  can  no  man 
tame;  it  is  an  unruly  evil,  full  of 
deadly  poison. 

9  Therewith  bless  we  *'God, 
even  the  '"Father;  and  therewith

The  apostle  shews  the  evils  that  come  from 
the  lusts  of  men:  7  and  exhorts  tliem  to 
humble  themselves  before  God,  11  not  to 
speak  evil  one  of  another.  13  and  to  keep 
in  mind  their  dependence  on  God  in  the 
arrangement  of  their  affairs.

7  '^•'That  the  trial  of  your^ith,

receive  a  'crown  of  glory  that

yourselves  unto  the  elder.  Yea, 
all  of  you  ^''"be  subject  one  to

them  in  view  of  his  own  death.  16  The

exceeding  great  and  precious 
^promises:  that  by  these  ye 
might  be  ^'partakers  of  the  divine

cease to  have  these  things  always

we  ''■'^made  known  unto  you  the 
'^power  and  ^'coming  of  our  Lord

20  Knowing  this  first,  that  no

''any  private  interpretation.

not  in  old  time  by  the  will  of

and  *the  'earth  standing  out  of 
the  water  and  in  the  water: 

6  Whereby  the  "world  that  then 
was,  being  ''•"'overflowed  with 
water,    perished :

''earth,  which  are  now,  by  the 
same  word  are  kept  in  store,  re- 
served unto  fire  against  the  day 
of  *judginent  and  ^* ^perdition  of 
ungodly  men. 

8  But,  "^beloved,  be  not  ignorant 
of  this  one  thing,  that  one  ''day 
is  with  the  ''Lord  as  a  thousand 
'^years,  and  a  thousand  years  as

count  slackness;  but  is  'longsuf-

CHAPTER  1 

The  apostle's  object  in  declaring  what  he  had 
seen  and  known  of  the  Word  of  life.  5 
His  message  concerning  God.  and  fellow- 
ship with  him.  7  The  blood  of  Christ 
cleanses  from  all  sin. 

THAT  which  was  "from  the 
beginning,  *which  we  have 
heartl,  Avhich  we  have  seen  with 
our  eyes,  which  we  have  looketl 
upon,  and  our  hands  have  han- 
dled, of  the  <^Word  of   life; 

2  (For  the  life  was  ^manifested, 
and  we  have  seen  it,  and  '^bear 
''witness,  and  shew  unto  you  that 
''eternal  life,  ''which  was  with  the 
''Father,  and  was  manifested  un- 
to us;) 

3  Tiiat  which  we  have  seen  and 
heard  ''declare  we  unto  you,  that 
ye  also  may  have  ^fellowship  with 
us:  and  truly  our  ■'fellowship  is- 
with  the  ''Father,  and  *with  his 
'Son  Je'.sus  Christ. 

4  And  ''-^•^these  things  ''•"write 
we  unto  you,  that  ^your '"joy  may 
be  full. 

5  This  then  is  the  message 
which  we  have  heard  of  him,  and 
''•''declare  unto  you,  that  God  is 
"•"light,  and  in  him  is  "no  Mark- 
ness  at  all. 

G  If  we  'say  that  we  have  'fel- 
lowship with  him,  and  ''walk  in 
''•Markness,  we  lie,  and  do  not 
the    truth: 

7  But  if  we  walk  in  the  "light,  as 
he  is  in  the  light, we  have  ^fellow- 
ship  one  witii  another,  and  the 
'blood  of  Je'.sus  ^Clirlst  his  'Son 
"•*'•"'•  ^clcanseth  us  from  all  sin. 

8  "If  we  say  that  we  have  ^no 
sin,  we  ''deceive  ourselves,  and 
the  truth   is  not  in  us.

is  ^faithful  and  ''just  to  'forgive 
us  our  sins,  and  to  k'leanse  us 
from  all  unrighteousness. 

10  If  we  say  that  we  have  ''not 
sinned,  we  make  him  a  liar,  and 
his  word  is  not  in  us. 

CHAPTER  2 

Christ  our  advocate  and  the  propitiation  for 
our  sins.  3  The  evidence  of  love  to  God 
is  obedience  to  his  commands.  18  A 
caution  to  beware  of  seducers.  22  Who 
antichrist  is.  24  The  safety  of  the  godly 
is  in  their  abiding  in  the  faith. 

MY  little  children,  these  things 
write  I  unto  you,  that  ye 
"'''sin  not.  And  if  any  man  '^sin, 
we  have  an  ''advocate  wnth  the 
'Father,  Je'.sus  Christ  the  ^right- 
eous : 

2  And  he  is  the  "-''propitiation 
'for  our  sins:  and  not  for  our's 
only,  but  also  for  the  sins  of  the 
whole  world. 

3  And  hereby  we  do  know  that 
we  know  him,  if  we  '-^keep  his 
'commandments. 

4  He  that  '"-"saith,  I  know  him, 
and  "keepeth  not  his  command- 
ments, is  a  ''liar,  and  the  truth  is 
not  in  him. 

5  But  whoso  'keepeth  his  word, 
in  him  verily  is  the  ''love  of  (rod 
*|)erfected:  hereby  'know  we  that 
we  are  "in  him. 

6  He  that  saith  he  "-"abideth  in 
hiin  ought  himself  also  so  to 
walk,   even  '"as  he  walked. 

7  Brethren,  I  write  no  new 
commandment  unto  you,  but 
an  old  commandment  which  ye 
had  from  the  beginning.  The 
old  commandment  is  the  ^word

8  Again,  a  new  ^commandment 
I  write  unto  you,  which  thing  is 
true  in  him  and  in  you:  because 
the  ^darkness  is  past,  and  the 
true  °' ''light  now  shineth. 

9  He  that  saith  he  is  in  the 
''hght,  and  ''•'^hateth  his  brother, 
is  in  ^darkness  even  until  now. 

10  He  that  ■^•"loveth  his  brjther 
''abideth  in  the  light,  and  there  is 
none  occasion  of  stumbling  in 
him. 

11  But  he  that  liateth  his 
brother  is  in  '^darkness,  and 
walketh  in  darkness,  and  know- 
eth  not  whither  he  goeth,  be- 
cause that  darkness  hath  H^linded 
his  eyes. 

12  I  w^'ite  unto  you,  little  chil- 
dren, because  your  sins  are  'for- 
given you  for  his  ^name's  sake. 

13  I  write  unto  you,  fathers,  be- 
cause ye  ^have  Hcnowm  him  that 
is  '"from  the  beginning.  1  write 
unto  you,  "young  men,  because 
ye  have  "overcome  the  ^wicked 
one.  I  write  vmto  you,  little  chil- 
dren, because  ye  -have  known 
the  "Father. 

14  I  have  written  unto  you,  fa- 
thers, because  ye  ^have  'known 
him  that  is  '"from  the  beginning. 
I  have  written  unto  you,  "young 
men,  because  ye  are  ''strong,  and 
the  *word  of  God  abideth  in 
you,  and  ye  have  "overcome  the 
''wicked  one. 

15  ^Love  not  the  world,  neither 
the  things  that  are  in  the  world. 
If  any  man  *love  the  world,  the 
"love  of  the  ^Father  is  not  in 
him. 

16  For  "all  that  is  in  the  world, 


the  "'•^lust  of  the  flesh,  and  the 
'"lust  of  the  eyes,  and  the  ^-  ^pride 
0/  life,  is  not  of  the  ^Father,  but 
is  *of  the  world. 

17  And  the  world  passeth  away, 
and  the  ""lust  thereof:  but  %e 
that  doeth  the  °wdll  of  God 
''abideth  ''■''for  ever. 

18  Little  children,  it  is  the  last 
^time:  and  as  ye  have  heard  that 
'^'^antichrist  shall  come,  even 
now  are  there  many  antichrists; 
whereby  we  know  that  it  is  the 
last  ^time. 

19  ''•■^They  went  out  from  us, 
but  they  were  not  of  us;  for  if 
they  had  been  of  us;  they  would 
no  doubt  have  continued  with  us: 
but  they  went  out,  that  they  might 
be  made  manifest  that  they  were 
not  all  of  us. 

20  But  ye  have  an  ''•^unction 
from  the  ''Holy  One,  and  ye 
'know  all  things. 

21  1  have  not  written  unto  you 
because  ye  know  not  the  Hruth, 
but  because  ye  'know  it,  and 
that  no  ''lie  is  of  the  truth. 

22  \Yho  is  a  liar  but  he  that 
'•'"denicth  that  Je'sus  is  the 
"Christ  ?  He  is  ^-"antichrist,  that 
denieth  the  ^Father  and  the 
^Son. 

23  Wliosoever  '-'"denieth  the 
*Son,  the  same  hath  not  the 
^Father:  [hut]  he  that  ^achiowl- 
edgeth  the  Son  hath  the  Father 
also. 

24  Let  ^'"'^that  therefore  abide 
in  you,  which  ye  have  heard  from 
the  beginning.  If  that  which  ye 
have  heard  from  the  beginning 
shall  remain  in  you,  ye  also  shall 
'continue  in  the  Son,  and  'in  the 
^Father.

sin  is  the  transgression  of  the

5  And  ye  know  that  he  wa.s 
manifested  ^to  ''take  away  our 
sins;  and  in  him  is   *no  sin. 

6  Whosoever  'abideth  in  him 
^'"sinneth  not:  whosoever  "sin- 
neth  hath  ''not  seen  him,  neither 
^known  him. 

7  Little  children,  let  no  man 
^deceive  you:  he  that  "doeth 
"'righteousness  is  righteous,  even 
^'%s  he  is  ^'"righteous. 

8  *He  that  committeth  '^sin  is  of 
the  ''devil;  for  the  devil  sinneth 
from  the  beginning.  For  this

They  are  not  to  believe  every  spirit.  2  How 
they  may  know  tlie  spirit  that  is  of  God. 
7  An  exiiortation  to  lore  one  another. 
15  God  dwells  in  those  who  coiifess  thai 
Jesus  is  his  Son. 

BELOVED,  "believe  not  ev- 
ery spirit,  but  try  the  spir- 
its whether  they  are  of  God:  be- 
cause many  *■  "false  prophets  are 
gone  out  into  the  world. 

2  Hereby  know  ye  the  "^Spirit  of 
God:  Every  spirit  that  "''con- 
fesseth  that  Je'.sus  Christ  is  ^come 
in  the  flesh  is  of  God: 

3  And  every  ''spirit  Hhat  ''con- 
fesseth  not  that  Je'.sus  Christ  is 
''come  in  the  flesh  is  not  of  God : 
and  this  is  that  spirit  of  Anti- 
christ, whereof  ye  have  heard 
that  it  should  come;  and  even 
now  already  is  it  in  the  world. 

4  Ye  are  *of  God,  little  chil- 
dren, and  have  ^-"'overcome 
Hhem:  because  greater  is  "he 
that  is  "in  you,  than  %e  that 
is  in  the  world. 

5  They  are  'of  the  world:  there- 
fore speak  they  of  the  world,  and 
the  world  heareth  them. 

6  We  are  *of  God:  he  that 
''knoweth  God  heareth  us;  he 
that  is  'not  of  God  heareth  not 
us.  Hereby  know  we  the  'spirit 
of  truth,  and  the  ''spirit  of  "''error. 

7  Beloved,  let  us  ^love  one  an- 
other: for  love  is  of  God;  and 
every  one  that  loveth  is  ^'^'^born 
of  God,  and  '^knoweth  God. 

8  He  that  ^loveth  not  'knoweth 
not  God;  for  God  is  "love. 

9  ^In  this  was  manifested  the

hath  to  us.  God  is  love;  and  he 
tliat  dwelleth  in  ^love  'dwelleth 
in  God,  and  God  ^in  him. 

17  Herein  is  cur    ■'^love  made 


''perfect,  that  we  may  have  *bold- 
ness  in  the  day  of  'judgment:  be- 
cause "as  he  is,  "so  are  we  in  this 
world. 

18  There  is  no  fear  in  -^love; 
but  perfect  love  casteth  out  fear: 
because  fear  hath  ''torment.  He 
that  feareth  is  not  made  ''perfect 
in  love. 

19  We  Hove  ^him,  because  he 
first  '^lovcd  us. 

20  If  a  man  "say,  I  ^love  God, 
and  ^hateth  his  brother,  he  is 
a  ^liar:  for  he  that  ^loveth  not 
his  brother  whom  he  hath  seen, 
®how  can  he  love  God  ^whom  he 
hath  not  seen  ? 

21  And  this  commandment 
have  we  from  him.  That  he  who 
^loveth  God  ''"love  his  brother 
also. 

CHAPTER  5 

He  that  is  born  of  God  believes  that  Jesus  is 
the  Christ,  loves  the  children  nf  Cod,  4  and 
overcomes  the  world.  10  The  behever  has 
eternal  life  through  Christ.  14  His  con- 
fidence in  him.  17  All  unrighteousness 
is  sin. 

WHOSOEVER  ''believeth 
that  Je'sus  is  the  ^Christ 
is  ^•'^•'^born  of  God:  and  every 
one  that  *loveth  him  that  begat 
'■''loveth  him  also  that  is  begot- 
ten of  him. 
2  By  this  we  know  that  we  Hove

3  For  this  is  the  *love  of  God, 
that  we  ''keep  his  Vommand- 
ments:  and  his  commandments 
are   not   grievous. 

4  For  whatsoever  is  ^-'^■'^born  of 
God  ^overcometh  the  workl :  and 
this  is  the  victory  that  overcom- 
eth  the  workl,  even  our  "faith. 

5  Who  is  he  that  'overcometh 
the  workl,  but  he  that  "believeth 
that  Je'sus  is  tlie  *Son  of  God  ? 

6  This  is  he  that  came  by 
'water  and  '"'"blood,  even  Je'sus 
''Christ;  not  by  water  only,  but 
by  w^ater  and  blood.  And  it  is 
the  "Spirit  that  beareth  witness, 
because  the  SjMrit  is  truth. 

7  ^For  there  are  three  that  bear 
record  in  heaven,  the  Father,  the 
Word,  and  the  Holy  Ghost:  and 
these  three  are  one. 

8  And  there  are  three  that  bear 
witness  ''in  earth,  the  "spirit,  and 
the  ^vater,  and  the  "'•'^blood:  and 
these  three  agree  in  one. 

9  If  we  receive  the  witness  of 
men,  the  ^witness  of  God  is 
o-reater:    for  this  is  the  witness 

o 

of  God  which  he  hath  testified 
of  his  ^Son. 

10  He  that  "believeth  on  the 
'^Son  of  God  hath  the  witness  in 
himself:  he  that  ^believeth  not 
God  hath  made  him  a  liar;  be- 
cause he  believeth  not  the  ''rec- 
ord that  God  gave  of  his  Son. 

11  And  this  is  the  ^record,  that 
God  hath  given  to  us  ''•^eternal 
life,  and  this  life  is  in  his  ^'Son. 

12  He  that  '-"hath  the  ^Son

the  Son  of  God  hath  not  life.

"will,  *''"he  heareth  us: 

15  And  if  we  ''know  that  he

and  there  is  a  sin  not  unto  death.

and  ^peace,  from  God  the  ^Fa- 
ther, and  from  ^the  Lord  Je'sus 
'Christ,  the  ^Son  of  the  Father, 
in   truth  and  love. 

4  I  rejoiced  greatly  that  I  found 
of  thy  children  talking  in 
''truth,  as  we  have  received  a  com- 
mandment from  the  ''Father. 

5  And  'now  I  beseech  thee, 
*lady,  not  as  though  I  wrote  a 
new  commandment  unto  thee, 
but  that  which  we  had  from  the 
beginning,  that  we  '"-"love  one 
another. 

6  And  this  is  "love,  that  we 
^walk  after  his  commandments. 
This  is  the  commandment,  That, 
as  ye  have  heard  from  the  begin- 
ning, ye  should  walk  in  it. 

7  For  many  ^deceivers  are  en- 


tered into  the  world,  who  'con- 
fess not  that  Je^sus  'Christ  ^i.s 
come  *in  the  flesh!  This  is  a  de- 
ceiver and  an  *antichrist. 

8  ^'^Look  to  yourselves,  that 
*we  ''lose  not  those  things  which 
we  have  wrought,  but  tliat  %e 
receive  a  full  "'reward. 

9  Whosoever  ^transgressetli.and 
"•^abideth  not  in  the  "-^doctrine 
of  Christ,  hath  not  God.  He 
that  'abideth  in  the  Moctrine 
of  Christ,  he  '^•*hath  both  the 
''Father  and  the  ''Son. 

10  ''If  there  come  any  unto  you, 
and  bring  not  this  ^'Moctrine, 
^•''' '-^receive  him  not  into  your 
house,  ^neither  bid  him  God 
speed : 

11  For  he  that  biddeth  him

evil  deeds. 

12  Having  many  things  to  write 
unto  you,  I  would  not  wriic  with

The  apostle  commends  Gaius  for  his  piety, 
5  and  hospitality,  tvhich  had  become 
known  to  all  the  churches.  9  The  conduct 
of  Diotrephes  rebuked.  11  Gaius  exhort- 
ed to  follow  that  which  is  good.  12  The 
character  of  Demetrius.  14  He  hopes  to 
see  Gaius,  and  sends  his  salutation  to 
him. 

THE  '='elder  unto  the  wellbe- 
loved  Ga'ius,  whom  I  "love 
in  the  truth, 

2  Beloved,  I  %ish  above  all 
things  that  thou  mayest  '^prosper 
and  be  in  health,  even  as  thy 
soul  prospereth. 

3  For  I  rejoiced  greatly,  when 
the  brethren  came  and  testified 
of  the  ''truth  that  is  in  thee, 
even  as  thou  walkest  in  the 
'truth. 

4  ^l  have  no  greater  "joy  than 
to  hear  that  my  children  walk 
in  ''truth. 

5  ''Beloved,  thou  doest  ^•''faith- 
fully whatsoever  thou  ''doest  to 
the  brethren,  and  to  strangers; 

6  Which  have  borne  witness 
of  thy  ^' ''•'^charity  before  the 
*church :  whom  if  thou  bring  for- 
ward on  their  journey  ''after  a 
godly  sort,  thou  shalt  do  well: 

7  Because  that  for  ^his  ^name's 
sake  tliey  went  forth,  ^-'taking 
nothing  of   the  '"Gen'tTles. 

8  We  therefore  ought  to  "re- 


ceive  such,  that  we  might   be 
fellowhelpers  to  the  ''truth. 

9  1  wrote  unto  the  ^church: 
but  "Di-ot're-phe-s,  who  ^loveth 
to  have  the  preeminence  among 
them,  receiveth  us  not. 

10  Wherefore,  if  I  come,  I  will 
remember  his  deeds  which  he 
doeth,  ^prating  against  us  with 
''malicious  words:  and  not  con- 
tent therewith,  neither  doth  he 
liimself  receive  the  brethren,  and 
*forbiddeth  them  thatwould,  and 
casteth  them  out  of  the  church. 

11  'Beloved,  «•''•  ^follow  not  that 
which  is  evil,  but  that  which  is 
good.  He  that  '"'Moeth  g-ood  is 
^of  God:  but  he  that  doeth  evil 
hath  ^not  seen  God. 

12  De-me'tri-vis  hath  '^good  re- 
port of  all  men,  and  of  the  truth

ord; and  ye  know  that  our  record 
is  true.

but  I  will  not  with  ink  and  ''pen

14  But  I  trust  I  shall  shortly

unto  ^the  Son  of  man,  clothed

with  a  golden  girdle. 

14  His  head  and  hi.'i  hairs  were 
'white  like  wool,  as  white  as 
snow;  and  his  eyes  tvei'e  as  a 
flame  of  fire;

"brass,  as  if  they  burned  in  a  fur-

*seven  ^stars:  and  out  of  his 
mouth  went  a  sharp  twoedged

as  the  "sun  shineth  in  his  strength.

at  his  feet  as  dead.  And  he  laid 
his  right  hand  upon  me,  saying 
unto  me,  Fear  not;  I  am  the  ''first 
and  the  last:

tlie  '^churches. 

CHAPTER  4 

John's  vision  of  the  throne  of  God  in  heaven, 
4  ani  of  the  four  awi  twenty  elders  around 
it.  10  Tlw  elders  worship  him  that  siis 
on  the  throne. 

AFTER  this  I  looked,  and, 
"behold,  a  door '^ra.v  opened 
in  heaven:  and  the  first  voice 
which  I  heard  was  as  it  were  of  a 
trumpet  talking  with  me;  which 
said,  Come  up  hither,  and  I  will 
shew  thee  things  which  must  be 
hereafter. 

2  And  immediately  I  was  in  the 
^spirit:  and,  "behold,  a  '"throne 
was  set  in  heaven,  and  one  sat  on 
the  throne. 

3  And  he  that  sat  was  to  look 
upon  like  a  ''jasper  and  a  *sar- 
(line  stone:  and  there  was  a  -'rain- 
bow round  about  the  '^throne,  in 
sight  like  unto  an  *emerald, 

4  And  round  about  the  '^throne 
were  four  and  twenty  'seats:  and 
upon  the  'seats  I  .saw  four  and 
twenty  ''elders  sitting,  clothed  in 
''white  raiment;  and  they  had  on 
their  heads  ^crowns  of  gold. 

5  And  out  of  the  '"throne  pro- 
ceeded lightnings  and  thunder- 
ings  and  voices:  and  tJiere  were 
'seven  ''lamps  of  fire  burning  be- 
fore the  throne,  which  are  the 
seven  Spirits  of  God. 

6  And  before  the  "^throne  there 
was  a  sea  of  glass  like  unto  'crys- 
tal: and  in  the  midst  of  the 
tiirone,  and  round  about  the 
throne,  were  four  ^-"'beasts  full 
of  eyes  before  and  behind. 

7  And  the  first  ^-""beast  was  like 
a  "lion,  and  the  .second  •''beast 
like  a  "calf,  and  the  third  ^beast 
had  a  face  as  a  man,  and  the 
fourth  ^beast  was  like  a  flying 
^eagle. 

S  And  the  four  ^beasts  had  each 


of  them  six  wings  about  him; 
and  they  icere  full  of  eyes  within: 
and  they  rest  not  day  and  night, 
^saying,  '^•^Holy,  holy,  holy. 
Lord  God 'Almighty,  "which  was, 
and  is,  and  is  to  come. 

9  And  when  those  ^beasts  give 
glory  and  honour  and  "thanks  to 
him  that  sat  on  the  '"throne,  who 
"liveth  for  ever  and  ever, 

10  The  four  and  twenty  "eld- 
ers fall  down  before  him  that 
sat  on  the  throne,  and  "'worship 
him  that  liveth  for  ever  and  ever, 
and  cast  their  Vrowns  before  the 
'"throne,  saying, 

11  ^Thou  art  worUiy,  ^O  Lord, 
to  receive  ^glory  and  honour  and 
power:  for  thou  hast  ^created  all 
things,  and  for  thy  pleasure  they 
are  and  were  created. 

CHAPTER  5 

The  book   sealed  with  seven  seals.     3   No 
man  is  able  to  open  it.     5  The  Lamb  that 

was  slain  takes  the  hook:  8  trhereupon  the 
elders  and  (nuiels  a  round  the  throne  join 
in  ihanksgiviufj  and  praise  to  him. 

AND  I  "saw  in  the  right  hand 
of  him  that  sat  on  the 
''throne  a  'book  written  within 
and  on  the  backside,  ''sealed  with 
''.seven  seals. 

2  And  I  "saw  a  strong  'angel 
proclaiming  with  a  loud  voice. 
Who  is  worthy  to  open  the  book, 
and  to  loose  the  seals  thereof  ? 

3  And  no  man  in  heaven,  nor  in 
earth,  neither  under  the  earth, 
was  able  to  open  the  book,  nei- 
ther to  look  thereon. 

4  And  "•''I  wept  much,  because 
no  man  was  found  worthy  to 
open  'and  to  read  the  book,  nei- 
ther to  look  thereon. 

5  And  one  of  the  Elders  saith 
unto  me,  Weep  not:  behold,  the 
'•^'Lion  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'da,  tlie 
Root  of  Da'vid,  hath  prevailed 
to  open  the  "book,  and  to  loose 
the  *seven  ''seals  thereof.

midst  of  the  ^throne  and  of  the 
four  ^-'beasts,  and  in  the  midst 
of  the  ^elders,  stood  a '"-"Lamb  as 
it  had  been  slain,  having  *seven 
"horns  and  *seven  eyes,  whicli 
are  the  ^seven  Spirits  of  God 
sent  forth  into  all  the  earth. 

7  And  he  came  and  took  the 
'^book  out  of  the  right  hand  of 
him  that  sat  upon  the  ''throne. 

8  And  when  he  had  taken  the 
''book,  the  four  ^-'beasts  and  four 
and  twenty  'elders  ^fell  down  be- 
fore the  '"''^Lamb,  having  every 
one  of  them  sharps,  and  golden 
^vials  full  of  ''odours,  which  are 
the  Sprayers  of  saints. 

9  And  they  sung  a  new  'song, 
saying,  "Thou  art  worthy  to  take 
the  ''book,  and  to  open  the  ''seals 
thereof:  for  thou  wast  ^slain,  and 
''hast  ^' ^' ^redeemed  us  to  God 
by  thy  ^blood  out  of  every  kin- 
dred, and  tongue,  and  people, 
and  nation; 

10  And  ^hast  made  us  unto  our 
God  kings  and  ''priests:  and  we 
shall  reign  on  the  earth. 

11  And  I  ^beheld,  and  I  heard 
the  voice  of  many  ''angels  round 
about  the  '^throne  and  the 
^'"beasts  and  the  ''elders:  and  the 
number  of  them  was  ten  thou- 
sand times  ten  thousand,  and 
thousands  of  thousands; 

12  ^Saying  with  a  loud  voice, 
Worthy  is  the  ''Lamb  that  was 
*slain  to  receive  power,  and  riches, 
and  wisdom,  and  strength,  and 
honour,  and  glory,  and  blessing. 

13  And  every  creature  which  is 
in  heaven,  and  on  the  earth,  and 
under  the  earth,  and  such  as  are 
in  the  sea,  and  all  that  are  in 
them,  heard  I  'saying,  Blessing, 
and  honour,  and  glory,  and 
^power,  be  unto  him  that  sitteth 
upon  the  '^throne,  and  unto  the 
''Lamb  for  '•'"ever  and  ever. 

14  And  the  four  ^' ^beasts  said, 
Amen.  And  the  ^'four  aiid 
twenty    ''elders    fell    down    and 


''worshipped  him  that  liveth  for 
ever  and  ever, 

CHAPTER  6 

What  the  apostle  saw  when  the  Lamb 
opened  the  first  seal,  3  the  second  seal. 
5  the  thiid  seal,  7  the  fourth  seal,  9  the 
fifth  seal,  12  and  the  sixth  seal. 

AND  I  "saw  when  the  ''■"Lamb 
opened  one  of  the  ''seals,  and 
I  heard,  as  it  were  the  noise  of 
thunder,  one  of  the  four  ^beasts 
saying.  Come  and  see. 

2  And  I  saw,  and  behold  a 
''white  %orse:  and  he  that  sat  on 
him  had  a  "bow;  and  a  ''crown 
was  given  unto  him:  and  'he 
went  forth  conquering,  and  to 
conquer. 

3  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
second  ''seal,  I  heard  the  second 
^beast  say.  Come  and  see. 

4  And  there  went  out  another 
%orse  that  was  *'red:  and  power 
was  given  to  him  that  sat  thereon 
to  take  'peace  from  the  earth, 
and  that  they  should  *kill  one 
another:  and  there  was  given 
unto  him  a  great  sword. 

5  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
third  ''seal,  I  heard  the  third 
^beast  say.  Come  %nd  see.  And 
I  beheld,  and  lo  a  ^black  ''horse ; 
and  he  that  sat  on  him  had  a 
^pair  of  'balances  in  his  hand. 

6  And  I  heard  a  voice  in  the 
midst  of  the  four  ^beasts  say,  A 
measure  of  '"wheat  for  a  "penny, 
and  three  measures  of  "barley  for 
a  penny;  and  see  thou  hurt  not 
the  ^oil  and  the  *wine. 

7  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
fourth  ''seal,  I  heard  the  voice  of 
the  fourth  ^beast  say,  Come  ^and 
see. 

8  And  I  looked,  and  behold  a 
pale  %orse:  and  his  name  that 
sat  on  him  was  Death,  and  *Hell 
followed  with  him.  And  power 
was  given  unto  them  over  the 
fourth  part  of  the  earth,  ''to  %ill 
with  sword,  and  with  *hunger, 
and  with  death,  and  with  the 
^•'beasts  of  the  earth.

for  the  ^testimony  which  they

thou  not  judge  and  avenge  our

11  And  ^white  '^•'^robes  were

tree  casteth  her  ^untimely  figs, 
when  she  is  shaken  of  a  mighty 
wind. 

14  And  the  heaven  departed 
as  a  scroll  when  it  is  rolled  to- 
gether; and  every  mountain  and 
island  were  moved  out  of  their 
places. 

15  'And  the  kings  of  the  earth, 
and  the  great  men,  and  the  rich 
men,  and  the  chief  captains, 
and  the  mighty  men,  and  every 
bondman,  and  every  free  man, 
'"•"•"hid  them.selves  in  the  dens 
and  in  the  rocks  of  the  moun-

hide  us  from  the  face  of  ^him 
that  sitteth  on  the  throne,  and 
from  the  wrath  of  the  ^■''Lamb: 

17  For  the  gre.'it  day  of  **his 
'wrath  is  come;  and  "''"who  shall 
be  able  to  stand  ? 


CHAPTER  7 

An  angel  seals  the  servants  of  God  in  their 
foreheads.  4  The  nutnber  that  were 
sealed.  9  A  countless  multitude  of  the 
redeemed  in  heaven  ascribe  salvation  to 
God  and  the  Lamb.  13  The  glory  and 
ltai>iyinrss  of  those  who  came  out  of  great 
tribulation. 

AND  after  these  things  I  saw 
four  angels  standing  on 
the  four  corners  of  the  earth, 
holding  the  four  winds  of  the 
earth,  that  the  wind  should  not 
blow  on  the  earth,  nor  on  the  sea, 
nor  on  any  tree. 

2  And  I  saw  another  angel  as- 
cending from  the  ^east,  having 
the  seal  of  the  living  God :  and 
he  cried  with  a  loud  voice  to 
the  four  angels,  to  whom  it  was 
given  to  hurt  the  earth  and  the 
sea, 

3  Saying,  Hurt  not  the  earth, 
neither  the  sea,  nor  the  trees,  till 
we  have  sealed  the  servants  of 
our  God  in  their  foreheads. 

4  And  I  heard  the  number  of 
them  which  were  sealed:  and 
there  irere  sealed  an  hundred 
and  forty  and  four  thousand  of 
all  the  tribes  of  the  children  of 
"Is'ra-el. 

5  Of  the  ^tribe  of  Jfi'da  ivrir 
sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of  the

9  After  this  I  beheld,  and,  lo, 
a  great  multitude,  which  no 
man  could  number,  of  all  na- 
tions, and  kindreds,  and  people, 
and  tongues,  stood  before  the 
"throne,  and  before  the  ^-^Lamb, 
clothed  with  ""white  '-'robes,  and 
palms  in  their  hands; 

10  And  ''cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
saying,  ^Salvation  to  our  God 
which  sitteth  upon  the  "throne, 
and  '"unto  tlie  P'«Lamb. 

11  And  all  the  angels  stood 
round  about  the  "throne,  and 
about  the  elders  and  the  four 
-beasts,  and  fell  before  the 
throne  on  their  faces,  and  Svor- 
shipped  God, 

12  Saying,  Amen:  Blessing,  and 
glory,  and  wisdom,  and  ^thanks- 
giving, and  honour,  and  power, 
and  might,  be  unto  our  God  for 
^ever  and  ever.   Amen. 

13  And  one  of  the  elders  an- 
swered, saying  unto  me.  What 
are  these  which  are  arrayed  in 
''white  *' 'robes  ?  and  whence 
came  they  ? 

14  And  I  said  unto  him,  ^Sir, 
thou  knowest.  And  he  said  to 
me.  These  are  they  which  came 
out  of  great  "tribulation,  and 
have  ''■'^■'^washed  their  ^'^robes, 
and  made  them  "white  in  the 
''blood  of  the  'Lamb. 

15  ^Therefore  are  they  before 
the  ^'throne  of  God,  and  serve 
him  day  and  night  in  his  temple: 
and  he  that  sitteth  on  the  throne 
shall  ^dwell  among  them. 

16  They  shall  hunger  no  more, 
neither  thirst  any  more;  neither 
shall  the  sun  light  on  them,  nor 
any  heat. 

17  For  the  'Lamb  which  is  in 
the  midst  of  the  throne  shall 
^feed  them,  and  shall  lead  them 
unto  ^living 'fountains  of  waters: 
and  God  shall  wipe  away  all 
tears  from   their  eyes. 


CHAPTER  8 


Ttie  seventh,  seal  opened.  2  To  seven  angels 
seven  trumpets  are  given.  3  Another 
angel  offers  incense  with  the  prayers  of 
the  saints.  6  Four  angels  sound  their 
trumpets,  and  great  plagues  follow. 


AND  when  he  had  opened 
the  seventh  seal,  there  was 
silence  in  heaven  about  the 
space  of  half  an  hour. 

2  And  I  saw  the  "seven  angels 
which  stood  before  God;  and  to 
them  were  given  seven  trumpets. 

3  And  another  angel  came 
and  stood  at  the  altar,  having  a 
golden  censer;  and  there  was 
given  unto  him  much  incense, 
that  he  should  offer  it  with  the 
Sprayers  of  all  saints  upon  the 
golden  altar  which  was  before 
the  throne. 

4  And  the  smoke  of  the  incense, 
which  came  with  the  Sprayers  of 
the  saints,  ascended  up  before 
God  out  of  the  angel's  hand. 

5  And  the  angel  took  the  cen- 
ser, and  filled  it  with  fire  of  the 
altar,  and  cast  it  into  the  earth: 
and  there  were  voices,  and  thun- 
derings,  and  lightnings,  and  an 
earthquake. 

6  And  the  "seven  angels  which 
had  the  seven  trumpets  prepared 
themselves  to  sound. 

7  Tlie  first  angel  sounded,  and 
there  followed  hail  and  fire  min- 
gled with  blood,  and  they  were 
cast  upon  the  earth:  ^and  the 
third  part  of  trees  was  burnt  up, 
and  all  green  grass  was  burnt  up. 

8  And  the  second  angel  sounded, 
and  as  it  were  a  great  mountain 
burning  with  fire  was  cast  into 
the  sea :  and  the  third  part  of  the 
sea  became  blood; 

9  And  the  third  part  of  the 
creatures  which  were  in  the  sea, 
and  had  life,  died;  and  the  third 
part  of  the  ships  were  destroyed. 

10  And  the  third  angel  sounded, 
and  there  fell  a  great  star  from 
heaven,  burning  as  ^it  were  a 
lamp,  and  it  fell  upon  the  third

fountains  of  waters; 

11  And  the  name  of  the  star  is 
called  Wormwood:  and  the  third 
part  of  the  waters  became  worm- 
wood; and  many  men  died  of  the 
waters,  because  they  were  made 
bitter. 

12  And  the  fourth  angel  sounded, 
and  the  third  part  of  the  sun 
was  smitten,  and  the  third  part 
of  the  moon,  and  the  third  part 
of  the  stars;  so  as  the  third  part 
of  them  was  Markened,  and  the 
day  shone  not  for  a  third  part  of 
it,  and  the  night  likewise. 

13  And  I  beheld,  and  heard  an 
^angel  flying  through  the  midst 
of  heaven,  saying  with  a  loud 
voice,  Woe,  woe,  woe,  to  the  in- 
habiters  of  tlie  earth  by  reason 
of  the  other  voices  of  the  trumpet 
of  the  three  angels,  which  are  yet 
to  sound  I 

CHAPTER  9 

The  fifth  angel  sounds,  and  the  bottomless 
pit  is  opened,  and  smoke  and  locusts  issue 
from  it.  7  These  locusts  described.  12 
The  first  woe  is  past.  13  The  sixth  angel 
sounds,  and  four  angels  are  let  loose  for 
the  work  of  destruction. 

AND  the  fifth  angel  sounded, 
and  I  saw  a  star  fall  from 
heaven  unto  the  earth:  and  to 
him  was  given  the  key  of  the 
^bottomless  pit. 

2  And  he  opened  the  bottom- 
less pit;  and  there  arose  a  smoke 
out  of  the  pit,  as  tlie  smoke  of  a 
great  furnace;  and  tlie  sun  and 
the  air  were  darkened  by  reason 
of  the  smoke  of  the  pit. 

3  And  there  came  out  of  the 
smoke  locusts  upon  the  earth: 
and  unto  them  was  given  power, 
as  the  scorpions  of  the  eartli 
have  power. 

4  And  it  was  commanded  tiicm 
that  they  should  not  hurt  the 
grass  of  the  earth,  neither  any 
green  thing,  neither  any  tree;  but 
only  those  "men  which  have  not 
the  seal  of  God  in  their  fore- 
heads. 


5  And  to  tlicm  it  was  given  that 
they  should  not  kill  them,  but 
that  they  should  be  "tormented 
five  months:  and  their  torment 
was  as  tlie  torment  of  a  scorpion, 
when  he  strikcth  a  man. 

6  And  in  those  days  shall  men 
*seek  death,  and  shall  not  find 
it;  and  shall  desire  to  die,  and 
death  shall  flee  from  them. 

7  And  the  shapes  of  the  locusts 
were  like  unto  horses  prepared 
unto  battle;  and  on  their  heads 
were  as  it  were  crowns  like  gold, 
and  their  faces  were  as  the  faces 
of  men. 

8  And  they  had  hair  as  the  hair 
of  women,  and  their  teeth  were 
as  the  teeth  of  lions. 

9  And  they  had  breastplates,  as 
it  were  breastplates  of  iron;  and 
the  sound  of  their  wings  was  as 
the  sound  of  chariots  of  many 
horses  ^running  to  battle. 

10  And  they  ■''had  tails  like  unto 
scorpions,  and  there  were  stings 
in  their  tails:  and  their  power 
was  to  hurt  men   five   months. 

11  *And  they  had  a  king  over 
them,  which  is  the  angel  of  the 
bottomless  pit,  whose  name  in 
the  He'brew  tongue  is  A-bad'- 
don,  but  in  the  Greek  tongue 
hath  his  name  A-pol'ly-on. 

12  ^One  woe  is  past;  and,  be- 
hold, there  come  two  woes  more 
hereafter. 

13  And  the  sixth  angel  sounded, 
and  I  heard  a  voice  from  the  four 
horns  of  the  golden  altar  which 
is  before  God, 

14  Saying  to  the  sixth  angel 
which  had  the  trumpet.  Loose 
the  four  angels  which  are  bound 
^'in  the  great  river  P^u-})lira'tes. 

15  And  tlie  four  angels  were 
loosed,  which  were  prepared  for 
an  liour,and  a'^day,  and  a  month, 
and  a  year,  for  to  ''slay  the  third 
})art  of  men.

thousand  tliousand:  ami  I  heard 
the  number  of  them. 

17  And  thus  I  saw  the  horses  in 
the  vision,  and  them  that  sat  on 
them,  having  breastplates  of  fire, 
and  of  ^jacinth,  and  brimstone: 
and  the  heads  of  the  horses  were 
as  the  heads  of  lions;  and  out 
of  their  mouths  issued  fire  and 
smoke  and  brimstone. 

18  By  these  three  ^was  the  third 
part  of  men  killed,  by  the  fire, 
and  by  the  smoke,  and  by  the 
brimstone,  which  issued  out  of 
their  mouths. 

19  For  ^"^ their  power  is  in  their 
mouth,  and  in  their  tails:  for  their 
tails  were  like  unto  serpents,  and 
had  heads,  and  with  them  they 
do  hurt. 

20  And  the  rest  of  the  men 
which  were  not  killed  by  these 
'^plagues  yet  '^•''repented  not  of 
the  works  of  their  hands,  that 
they  should  not  worship  ^devils, 
and  *idols  of  gold,  and  silver, 
and  brass,  and  stone,  and  of 
wood:  ^which  neither  can  see, 
nor  hear,  nor  walk: 

21  ^''^Neither  repented  they  of 
their  ^murders,  nor  of  their  *sor- 
ceries,  nor  of  their  'fornication, 
nor  of  their  '"thefts. 

CHAPTER  10 

A  mighty  angel  appears  ivilh  an  open  book 
6  and  swears  by  him  that  lives  for  ever, 
that  time  shall  be  no  longer.  8  John  is 
commanded  to  take  and  eat  the  book. 

AND  I  saw  another  mighty 
angel  come  down  from 
heaven,  clothed  with  a  cloud: 
and  a  rainbow  was  upon  his 
head,  and  his  face  was  as  it  were 


the  sun,  and  his  feet  as  pillars  of 
fire : 

2  And  he  had  in  his  hand  a  little 
"book  open:  and  he  set  his  right 
foot  upon  the  *sea,  and  his  left 
foot  on  the  earth, 

3  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
as  when  a  lion  roareth:  and  when 
he  had  cried,  "^seven  thunders 
uttered   their  voices. 

4  And  when  the  ''seven  thun- 
ders had  uttered  their  voices,  I 
was  about  to  write:  and  I  heard 
a  voice  from  heaven  saying  unto 
me.  Seal  up  those  things  which 
the  seven  thunders  uttered,  and 
write  them  not. 

5  And  the  angel  which  I  saw 
stand  upon  the  *sea  and  upon 
the  earth  lifted  up  his  hand  to 
heaven, 

6  And  '^sware  by  him  that  liveth 
^for  ever  and  ever,  who  ^created 
"heaven,  and  the  things  that 
tlierein  are,  and  the  ''earth,  and 
the  things  that  therein  are,  and 
the  sea,  and  the  things  which  are 
therein,  that  there  should  be 
*time  no  longer: 

7  But  in  the  days  of  the  voice  of 
the  '^seventh  angel,  when  he 
^shall  begin  to  sound,  the  ^' ^mys- 
tery of  God  should  be  finished, 
as  he  liath  ^'declared  to  his  serv- 
ants the  prophets. 

8  And  the  voice  which  I  heard 
from  heaven  spake  unto  me 
again,  and  said.  Go  and  take  the 
little  "book  which  is  open  in  the 
hand  of  the  angel  which  stand- 
eth  upon  the  ''sea  and  upon  the 
earth.

Biblical  Chronologj .  The  student  will  obsei-ve  that 
an  Interrog'ation  mark  follows  the  dates  carried  in  the  columns 
In  the  Old  Testament.  It  is  placed  there  to  indicate  that  the 
date  Is  of  doubtful  accuracy.  The  chronological  system  of 
the  O.  T.  was  originated  by  Archbishop  Usher  in  the  17th 


century,  and  has  been  adopted  by  publishers  of  the  Bible 
generally.  Late  discoveries  discredit  the  accuracy  of  this 
system  of  dates;  but  no  modification  of  it  has  yet  been 
agreed  upon  by  antiquarians.  We  have  therefore  adopted 
it,  but  express  the  common  doubt  as  to  its  accuracy  by  intro- 
ducing an  interrogation  sign. 

We  are  Indebted  to  I'rofcssor  vSamuel  G.  Ayres  of  Gar- 
rett Biblical  Institute  for  the  following  note.  Professor 
Ayres  is  recognized  In  America  and  In  England  as  an  author- 
ity In  the  field  of  investigation  to  which  this  subject  belongs. 

Note. — The  only  proper  attitude  of  mind  In  respect  of 
Old  Testament  chronologj'  is  that  of  suspended  judgment. 
The  elaborate  chronological  scheme  of  Archbishop  TTsher  can 
no  longer  be  held  in  its  entirety,  nor  can  any  other  scheme 
be  accepted  as  entirely  displacing  it.     It  still  has  a  certain

it  up;  and  it  was  in  my  mouth 
sweet  as  honey:  and  as  soon  as  I 
had  eaten  it,  my  belly  was  bitter.

and  there  is  rejoicing  in  heaven. 

AND  there  was  given  me  a 
"reed  like  unto  a  rod:  and 
Hhe  angel  stood,  saying,  Rise, 
and  measure  the  ''temple  of  God, 
and  the  altar,  and  them  that 
"^worship  therein. 

2  But  the  eourt  which  is  with- 
out the  temple  leave  out,  and 
measure  it  not;  for  it  is  given 
unto  the^Gen'tile.s:  and  the  holy 
city  shall  they  tread  under  foot 
forty  and  two  '^months. 

3  And  I  will  give   ^j^otver  un- 


to my  two  witnesses,  and  they 
shall  prophesy  a  thousand  two 
hundred  and  threescore  Mays, 
clothed    in    sackcloth.

and  the  two  candlesticks  stand-

5  And  if  any  man  ^will  hurt 
them,  fire  proceedeth  out  of  their 
mouth,  and  devoureth  their  en- 
emies :  and  if  any  man  ^will  hurt 
them,  he  must  in  this  manner  be 
killed. 

6  These  have  power  to  shut 
heaven,  that  it  rain  not  in  the 
days  of  their  prophecy:  and  have 
power  over  waters  to  turn  them 
to  blood,  and  to  smite  the  earth

will.

usefulness  as  supplying  a  convenient  and  orderly  arrange- 
ment of  the  facts  of  history,  if  only  we  keep  in  mind  that 
most  of  Its  figures  are  certainly  wrong.  Usher's  d.ilcs  give 
us  an  order  of  events,  they  do  not  give  us  an  absolutely  cor- 
rect statement  of  their  position  in  time. 

The  difficulties  of  Old  Testament  chronology,  it  Is  well  to 
remember,  are  not  peculiar  to  the  Scriptures.  The  same 
difficulties  confront  us  in  the  study  of  the  tilstory  of  the 
Egyptians,  the  Babylonians  and  the  Assyrians.  From  year 
to  year  as  new  Inscriptions  are  found,  deciphered  and  their 
contents  appraised,  we  get  light  upon  chronology.  In 
some  cases  astronomy,  by  the  determination  of  eclipses  or 
of  the  dates  of  the  rising  of  fi.xed  stars,  gives  a  welcome 
lixlty  to  figures  which  formerly  wen:  uncertain  or  wavering. 
Our  only  safe  course  Is  to  use  the  Usher  chronology  as  a  means 
of  ordering  events.  In  so  f.ir  as  facts  do  not  prove  it  wrong. 
When  that  happens  It  should  be  supplanted  by  abetter 
date.  This  method  naturally  prortures  a  scheme  of  chronol- 
ogy which  Is  inconsistent  In  many  points.  There  are  certain 
minds  which  cannot  endure  a  temporary  uncertainty  plus 
an  obvious  Inconsistency.  They  may  safely  be  advised  to 
eschew  all  chronological  study.  As  an  assistance  to  serious 
students,  who  desire  to  possess  what  light  there  Is,  we  here 
append  a  tabic  of  dates  verified  by  the  latest  researches  in 
ancient  Oriental  Inscriptions.  T'lese  are  not  to  be  regarded 
as  final,  but  only  as  tentative  efforts  after  the  truth.  They 
would  find  a  pretty  general  acceptance  among  modern 
scholars  as  approximations  to  exactness.  They  may  be 
used  to  supplement  and  to  correct  TTsher's  system  until  a 
later  and  more  exact  linowledge  supplants  them.

not  suffer  their  dead  bodies  to  be 
put  in  graves. 

10  And  they  that  dwell  upon 
the  earth  shall  rejoice  over  them, 
and  make  merry,  and  shall  send 
gifts  one  to  another;  because  these 
two  prophets  tormented  them  that 
dwelt  on  the  earth. 

11  And  after  three  days  and 
an  half  the  ^Spirit  of  life  from 
God  entered  into  them,  and  they 
stood  upon  their  feet;  and  great 
fear  fell  upon  them  which  saw 
them. 

12  And  they  heard  a  great  voice 
from  heaven  saying  unto  them, 
Come  up  hither.  And  they  as- 
cended up  to  heaven  in  a  cload; 
and  their  enemies  beheld  them. 

13  And  the  same  hour  was 
there  a  great  earthquake,  and 
the  tenth  part  of  the  city  fell, 
and  in  the  earthquake  were  slain 
of  men  seven  thousand:  and  the 
remnant  were  affrighted,  and 
gave  glory  to  the  God  of  heaven. 

14  The  second  woe  is  past;  and, 
behold,  the  third  woe  cometh 
quickly. 

15  And  the  seventh  angel 
sounded;  and  there  were  great 
voices  in  heaven,  saying,  '-^-'The 
kingdoms  of  this  world  are  be- 
come the  kingdoms  of  our  Lord, 
and  of  his  Christ;  and  '"he  shall 
reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

IG  And  the  four  and  twenty  eld- 
ers, which  sat  before  God  on 
their  seats,  fell  upon  their  faces, 
and  "worshipped  God, 

17  "Saying,  We  give  thee 
thanks,  O  Lord  God  Almighty, 
''which  art,  and  wast,  ^and  art  to 
come;  because  thou  hast  taken 
to  thee  thy  great  ^power,  and 
liast  reigned. 

18  And  the  nations  were  an- 
gry, and  thy  wrath  is  come,  and 
the  ''time  of  the  dead,  that  they 
should  be  'judged,  and  that  thou 
shouldest  give  reward  unto  thy 
servants    the   prophets,   and    to 


the  saints,  and  them  that  'fear 
thy  name,  small  and  great;  and 
shouldest  ^destroy  them  which 
destroy  the  earth. 

19  And  the  temple  of  God  was 
opened  in  heaven,  and  there  was 
seen  in  his  temple  the  ark  of 
his  ^"testament:  and  there  were 
lightnings,  and  voices,  and  thun- 
derings,  and  an  earthquake,  and 
great  hail. 

CHAPTER  12 

A  woman  clothed  uith  the  sun  travails.  3 
A  great  dragon  stands  remit/  to  devour  her 
child.  5  Being  delivered,  and  the  child 
caught  up  unto  God,  the  woman  flees  into 
the  wilderness.  7  Michael  and  tiis  angels 
overcome  the  dragon.  13  The  dragon, 
cast  down  into  the  earth,  persecutes  the 
woman. 

AND  there  appeared  a  great 
wonder  in  heaven;  a  woman 
clothed  with  the  sun,  and  the 
moon  under  her  feet,  and  upon 
her  head  a  crown  of  twelve 
stars : 

2  And  she  being  with  child  cried, 
travailing  in  birth,  and  pained 
to  be  delivered. 

3  And  there  appeared  another 
wonder  in  heaven;  and  behold  a 
great  red  dragon,  having  seven 
heads  and  ten  horns,  and  seven 
crowns  upon  his  heads. 

4  And  his  tail  drew  the  third 
]>art  of  the  stars  of  heaven,  and 
did  cast  them  to  the  earth:  and 
the  dragon  stood  before  the 
woman  which  was  ready  to  be 
delivered,  for  to  devour  her  child 
as  soon  as  it  was  born. 

5  And  she  brought  forth  a  man 
child,  who  was  to  rule  all  nations 
with  a  rod  of  iron:  and  her  child 
was  caught  up  unto  God,  and  to 
his  throne. 

6  And  the  woman  fled  into  the 
wilderness,  where  she  hath  a 
place  prepared  of  God,  that  they 
should  feed  her  there  a  thou-

against    the    dragon;    and    the 
dragon  fought  and  his  angels, 

8  And  prevailed  not;  neither 
was  their  place  found  any  more 
in  heaven. 

9  And  the  great  dragon  was 
cast  out,  that  old  serpent,  called 
the  Dev'il,  and  *Sa'tan,  which 
deceiveth  the  whole  world:  he 
was  cast  out  into  the  earth,  and 
his  '^angels  were  cast  out  with 
him. 

10  And  I  heard  a  loud  voice 
saying  in  heaven,  '^•''Now  is  come 
salvation,  and  strength,  and  the 
kingdom  of  our  God,  and  the 
^power  of  his  Christ:  for  the  ''ac- 
cuser of  our  bretiiren  is  cast 
down,  which  accused  them  be- 
fore our  God  day  and  night. 

11  And  they  overcame  him  by 
the  '•''blood  of  the  *Lamb,  and 
by  the  word  of  their  '•■'testimony; 
and  ''^they  loved  not  their  lives 
unto  the  'death. 

12  Therefore  rejoice,  ye  heav- 
ens, and  ye  that  dwell  in  them. 
Woe  ^to  the  inhabiters  of  the 
earth  and  of  the  seal  for  the  devil 
is  come  down  unto  you.  having 
great  wrath,  because  he  knoweth 
that  he  hath  but  a  short  time. 

13  And  wluMi  the  dragon  saw 
that  he  was  cast  unto  the  earth, 
he  j)ersecuted  the  woman  which 
brought  forth  the  man  child. 

1-4  And  to  the  woman  were 
given  two  wings  of  a  great  '"eagle, 
that  she  might  fly  into  the  wilder- 
ness, into  her  place,  where  she  is 
nourished  for  a  time,  and  times, 
and  half  a  time,  from  the  face  of 
the  serpent. 

15  And  the  serpent  cast  out  of 
his  mouth  water  as  a  flood  after 
the  woman,  that  he  might  cau.se 
her  to  be  carried  away  of  the  flood. 

16  And  the  earth  helped  the 
woman,  and  the  earth  opened 
her  mouth,  and  .swallowed  u})  the 
flood  which  the  dragon  cast  out 
of  his  mouth. 


17  And  the  dragon  was  wroth 
with  the  woman,  and  went  to 
make  war  with  the  remnant  of 
her  seed,  which  "keep  the  com- 
mandments of  God,  and  have 
the  testimony  of  Je'.sus  •^Christ. 

CHAPTER   13 

A  beast  rises  out  of  the  sea  with  seven  heads 
and  ten  horns,  to  whom  the  dragon  gives 
his  power.  11  Another  beast  comes  up 
out  of  tlie  earth:  and  causes  men  to  worship 
the  first  beast,  1(1  and  to  receive  his  mark. 

AND  ^'"I  stood  upon  the  sand 
of  the  sea,  and  saw  a  *beast 
rise  up  out  of  the  sea,  having 
"^seveu  heads  and  ten  horns,  and 
upon  his  horns  ten  crowns,  and 
upon  his  heads  the  name  of 
'^'blasphemy. 

2  Antl  the  beast  which  I  saw 
was  like  unto  a  leopard,  and  his 
feet  were  as  the  feet  of  a  bear, 
and  his  mouth  as  the  mouth  of  a 
lion:  and  the  dragon  gave  him 
his  power,  and  his  seat,  and  great 
authority. 

3  And  I  saw  one  of  his  heads  as 
it  were  wounded  to  death;  and 
his  deadly  wound  was  healed: 
and  all  the  world  wondered  after 
the  beast. 

4  And  they  Svorshipped  the 
dragon  "which  gave  po^\'er  unto 
tiie  beast:  and  they  worshipped 
the  beast,  saying,  Who  is  like 
unto  the  beast  ?  who  is  able  to 
make  war  with  him  ? 

5  And  there  was  given  unto  him 
a  mouth  speaking  great  things

10  ^He  that  leadeth  into  cap-

that  killeth  with  the  sword  'must 
be  killed  with  the  sword.  Here  is 
the  '"•"patience  and  the  faith  of 
the  saints. 

11  And  I  beheld  another  beast 
coming  up  out  of  the  earth;  and 
he  had  two  horns  like  a  lamb, 
and  he  spake  as  a  dragon. 

12  And  he  exerciseth  all  the 
^power  of  the  first  beast  before 
him,  and  causeth  the  earth  and 
them  which  dwell  therein  to  wor- 
ship the  first  beast,  whose  deadly 
wound  was  healed. 

13  And  he  doeth  great  wonders, 
so  that  he  maketh  fire  come 
down  from  heaven  on  the  earth 
in  the  sight  of  men, 

14  And  deceiveth  them  that 
dwell  on  the  earth  by  the  means 
of  those  ^miracles  which  he  had 
power  to  do  in  the  sight  of  the 
beast;  saying  to  them  that  dwell 
on  the  eartli,  that  they  should 
make  an  image  to  the  beast, 
which  had  the  wound  by  a 
sword,  and  did  live. 

15  And  •'he  had  power  to  give 
life  unto  the  image  of  the  beast, 
that  the  image  of  the  beast 
should  both  speak,  and  cause 
that  us  many  as  would  not  wor- 
ship the  image  of  the  beast 
should  be  killed. 

16  And  he  causeth  all,  both 
small  and  great,  rich  and  poor, 
free  and  bond,  to  receive  a  mark 
in  their  right  hand,  or  in  their 
foreheads : 

17  And  that  no  man  might  buy 
or  sell,  save  he  that  had  the 
mark,  or  the  name  of  the  beast, 
or  the  number  of  his  name. 


18  Here  is  wisdom.  Let  him 
that  hath  understanding  count 
the  number  of  the  beast:  for  it  is 
the  number  of  a  man;  and  his 
number  is  Six  hundred  three- 
score and  six. 

CHAPTER  14 

Tlie  Lamb  on  mount  Zion  with  his  company. 
6  The  triumph  of  the  gospel.  8  The  fall 
of  Babylon.  9  The  worshiper  of  the 
beast  and  his  image  threatened.  13  The 
reward  of  the  faithful.  15  The  harvest 
of  the  world. 

AND  I  looked,  and,  lo,  a 
"^Lamb  stood  on  the  mount 
Si'on,  and  with  him  *an  hun- 
dred forty  a7id  four  thousand, 
having  4iis  ''Father's  name  writ- 
ten in  their  foreheads. 

2  And  I  heard  a  voice  from 
''heaven,  as  the  voice  of  many 
waters,  and  as  the  voice  of  a 
great  thunder:  and  ^I  heard  the 
e./.Pyoice  of  harpers  harping  with 
their  '^harps: 

3  And  they  '-"sung  as  it  were  a 
new  ^song  before  the  *throne, 
and  before  the  four  ^-^beasts, 
and  the  elders:  and  no  man 
could  learn  that  song  but  the 
"hundred  and  forty  and  four 
thousand,  which  were  *re- 
deemed  from  the  earth. 

4  ''These  are  they  which  were 
'not  defiled  with  women;  for 
they  are  virgins.  These  are  they 
which  follow  the  ''Lamb  whith- 
ersoever he  goeth.  These  were 
^redeemed  from  among  men, 
being  the  firstfruits  unto  God  and 
to  the  Lamb. 

5  And  ''•'"in  their  mouth  was 
found  no  *•'*•  "guile:  for  they  are 
^without  fault  before  the  throne 
of  God.

fly  in  the  midst  of  heaven,

^him  that  made  ^heaven,  and

8  And  Hhere  followetl  another 
angel,  saying,  '^■''■'^Bal/y-lon  is 
fallen,  is  fallen,  that  great  city, 
because  she  made  all  nations 
drink  of  the  ''wine  of  the  wrath 
of  her  fornication. 

9  And  the  third  angel  followed 
them,  saying  with  a  loud  voice, 
If  any  man  ^'worship  the  beast 
and  his  image,  and  receive  hi'? 
mark  in  his  forehead,  or  in  his 
hand, 

10  'The  same  shall  drink  of  the 
''wine  of  the  "wrath  of  God, 
which  is  poured  out  witliout

in  the  presence  of  the  holy  ^an- 
gels, and  in  the  presence  of  the 
Tvamb: 

11  And  'the  smoke  of  their  'tor- 
ment ascendetli  up  for  ever  and 
ever:  and  they  have  no  rest  day 
nor  night,  who  ^worship  the  beast 
and  his  Image,  and  whosoever 
receiveth  the  mark  of  liis  name. 

12  Here  is  the  '"-"patience  of  the 
saints:  here  are  they  that  "keep 
the  commandments  of  God,  and 
the  Pfaith  of  Je'sus. 

13  And  I  heard  a  voice  from 
heaven  ^saying  unto  me.  Write, 
''Blessed  are  the  dead  which  *die 
in  the  I^ord  from  henceforth: 
Yea,  saith  the  'Spirit,  that  tliey 
may  rest  from  their  labours;  and 
their  "works  do  follow  them. 

14  And  I  looked,  and  n)ehol(l  a 
white  cloud,  and  upon  the  cloud 
one  sat  like  unto  ^•'^the  Son  of 
man,  ^having  on  his  head  a 
golden  ^crown,  and  in  his  hand 
a  sliarp  ^sickle. 

15  And  another  angel  came  out 
of  the  '^temple,  crying  with  a 
loud  voice  to  him  that  sat  f)n 


the  cloud,  Thrust  in  thy  ^sickle, 
and  reap:  for  the  time  is  come 
for  thee  to  reap;  for  the  ''harvest 
of  the  earth  is  **ripe. 

16  And  he  that  sat  on  the  cloud 
thrust  in  his  ''sickle  on  the  eartli; 
and  the  earth  was  reaped. 

17  And  another  angel  came  out 
of  the  temple  which  is  in  heaven, 
lie  also  having  a  sharp  ''sickle. 

18  And  another  angel  came  out 
from  the  altar,  which  had  power 
over  fire;  and  cried  with  a  loud 
cry  to  him  that  had  the  sharp 
''sickle,  saying.  Thrust  in  thy 
sharp  sickle,  and  gather  the  clus- 
ters of  the  vine  of  the  earth;  for 
her  ''grapes  are  fully  ripe. 

19  And  the  angel  thrust  in  his 
sickle  into  the  earth,  and  gath- 
ered the  vine  of  the  earth,  and 
cast  it  into  the  great  ^winepress 
of  the  'wrath  of  God. 

20  And  the  ^winepress  was  trod- 
den without  the  city,  and  blood 
came  out  of  the  winepress,  even 
unto  the  hor.se  bridles,  by  the

5  And  after  that  I  looked,  and, 
behold,  tlie  'temple  of  the  taber-

was  opened: 

6  And  tlie  "seven  angels  came 
out  of  the  temple,  having  tlie 
seven  *plagues,  ^clothed  in  pure 
and  white  linen,  and  having  their 
breasts  girded  with  golden  gir-

7  And  one  of  the  four  ^•''beasts 
gave  unto  the  "seven  angels  seven 
golden  vials  full  of  the  ^wrath  of 
God,  who  liveth  "for  ever  and

8  And  the  'temple  was  filled 
with  smoke  from  the  ^glory  of

no  man  was  able  to  enter  into  the 
temple,  till  the  "seven  ^plagues  of 
the  seven  angels  were  fulfilled. 

CHAPTER  16 

The  seven  angels  in  succession  pour  out 
their  vials  of  wrath  upon  the  earth,  and 
great  plagues  follow  thereupon. 

AND  I  heard  a  great  voice  out 
of  the  "temple  saying  to  the 
*seven  angels,  Go  ^your  ways,  and 
pour  out  the  vials  of  the  ''•'^wrath 
of  God  upon  the  earth, 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured 
out  his  ^vial  upon  the  earth; 
and  ^there  fell  a  noisome  and 
grievous  sore  upon  the  men 
which  had  the  mark  of  the  beast, 
and  upon  them  which  worship- 
ped his  image. 

3  And  the  second  angel  poured 
out  his  Mai  upon  the  sea;  and  it 
became  as  the  blood  of  a  dead 
man:  and  every  living  soul  died 
in  the  sea. 

4  And  the  third  angel  poured 
out  his  ^vial  upon  the  rivers  and 


fountains  of  waters;  and  *they 
became  blood. 

5  And  I  heard  the  angel  of  the 
waters  ^say.  Thou  art  '^righteous, 
O  Lord,  "which  art,  and  wast, 
and  shalt  be,  because  thou  hast 
judged  thus. 

6  For  they  have  ''shed  the  *''blood 
of  saints  and  *^prophets,  and  thou 
hast '^^ 'given  them  blood  to  drink; 
for  they  are  worthy. 

7  And  I  heard  ^another  out  of 
the  altar  say,  Even  so,  "'Lord  God 
Almighty,  true  and  -'righteous  are 
thy  '^judgments. 

8  And  the  fourth  ^angel  poured 
out  his  vial  upon  the  sun;  and 
power  was  given  unto  him  to 
scorch  men  with  fire. 

9  And  ^•'^men  were  scorched 
with  great  heat,  and  "-^blas- 
pliemed  the  name  of  God,  which 
hath  power  over  these  plagues: 
and  they  'repented  not  to  give 
him  gloiy. 

10  And  the  fifth  %ngel  poured 
out  his  vial  upon  the  seat  of  the 
beast;  and  his  kingdom  was  'full 
of  'darkness;  and  they  gnawed 
their  tongues  for  *pain, 

1 1  And  "blasphemed  the  God  of 
heaven  "because  of  their  'pains 
and  their  sores,  and  'repented 
not  of  their  deeds. 

12  And  the  sixth  angel  poured 
out  his  ^vial  upon  the  great  river 
'Eu-phra'te.s ;  and  the  water 
thereof  was  dried  up,  that  the 
way  *of  the  kings  of  the  east 
might  be  prepared. 

13  x\nd  I  saw  three  unclean 
spirits  like  frogs  come  out  of  the 
mouth  of  the  dragon,  and  out  of 
the  moutli  of  the  beast,  and  out 
of  the  mouth  of  the  false  propliet. 

14  For  they  are  the  spirits  of 
devils,  working  ^''miracles,  which 
go  forth  unto  the  kings  of  the 
earth  and  of  the  whole  world,  to 
gather  them  to  the  battle  of  that 
great  day  of  '"God  Almighty. 

15  T[  Behold,  I  come  as  a  thief.

17  And  the  seventh  angel 
poured  out  his  ^vial  into  the 
air;  and  there  came  a  great  voice 
out  of  the  temple  of  heaven, 
from  the  throne,  saying.  It  is 
done. 

18  And  there  were  voices,  and 
thunders,  and  lightnings;  and 
there  was  a  great  earthquake, 
such  as  was  not  since  men  were 
upon  the  earth,  so  mighty  an 
earthquake,  and  so  great. 

19  And  the  great  city  was  di- 
vided into  three  parts,  and  the 
cities  of  the  nations  fell:  and 
great  ^Bab'y-lon  came  in  re- 
naembrance  before  God,  to  give 
unto  her  the  ^cup  of  the  "wine  of 
the  fierceness  of  his  *wrath. 

20  And  every  island  fled  away, 
and  the  mountains  were  not 
found. 

21  And  there  '^fell  upon  men  a 
great  hail  out  of  heaven,  every 
stone  about  the  weight  of  a  tal- 
ent: and  men  '^^ ''blasphemed  God 
because  of  the  plague  of  the  hail; 
for  the  plague  thereof  was  ex- 
ceeding great. 

CHAPTER  17 

A  woman  arrayed  in  purple  and  scarlet, 
with  a  golden  cup  in  her  hand,  sits  upon 
the  beast.  5  Her  name.  7  The  mystery 
of  the  woman  explained. 

AND  tliere  came  one  of  tlie 
"seven  angels  which  had  the 
seven  ^vials,  and  talked  with  me, 
saying  unto  mc.  Come  hither;   1 


will  .sliew  unto  thee  the  judgment 
of  the  great  '•''whore  that  sitteth 
upon  many  waters: 

2  With  whom  the  kings  of  the 
earth  have  committed  fornica- 
tion, and  the  inhabitants  of  the 
earth  have  been  made  drunk 
with  the  wine  of  her  fornication. 

3  So  he  carried  me  away  in  the 
spirit  into  the  wilderness:  and 
I  saw  a  *woman  sit  upon  a  '^scar- 
let coloured  l)east,  full  of  names 
of  '^blasphemy,  having  "seven 
heads  and  ten  horns. 

4  And  the  *woman  was  arrayed 
in  '^purple  and  '"scarlet  colour, 
and  decked  with  gold  and  pre- 
cious stones  and  *pearls,  having 
a  golden  cup  in  her  hand  full  of 
abominations  and  filthiness  of 
her  fornication: 

5  And  u})on  her  forehead  %vas 
a  name  written,  ISIYSTERY, 
''BAB'Y-LON  THE  GREAT, 
THE  MOTHER  OF  HAR- 
LOTS AND  ABOMINA- 
TIONS   OF    THE    EARTH. 

6  And  I  saw  the  *  woman 
drunken  with  the  blood  of  the 
saints,  and  with  the  blood  of  the 
^•^martyrs  of  Je'sus:  and  w^hen  I 
saw  her,  I  wondered  with  great 
^admiration. 

7  And  the  angel  said  unto  me, 
Wherefore  didst  thou  ^marvel? 
I  will  tell  thee  the  mystery  of  the 
woman,  and  of  the  beast  thatcar- 
rieth  her,  which  hath  the  seven 
heads  and  ten  horns. 

8  The  beast  that  thou  sawest 
was,  and  is  not;  and  *shall  as- 
cend out  of  the  bottomless  pit, 
and  go  into  perdition:  and  they 
that  dwell  on  the  earth  shall 
wonder,  whose  names  were  not 
written  in  the  "book  of  life  from

the  foundation  of  the  world,  when 
they  behold  the  beast  ^that  was, 
and  is  not,  and  yet  is. 

9  And  here  is  the  mind  which 
hath  wisdom.  The  "seven  heads 
are  seven  mountains,  on  which 
the  ''woman  sitteth. 

10  And  there  are  ''.seven  kings: 
five  are  fallen,  and  one  is,  and 
the  other  is  not  yet  come;  and 
when  he  cometh,  he  must  con- 
tinue a  short  space. 

11  And  the  beast  that  was,  and 
is  not,  even  he  is  the  eighth,  and 
is  of  the  "seven,  and  goeth  into 
perdition. 

12  And  the  ten  horns  which 
thou  sawest  are  ten  kings,  which 
have  received  no  kingdom  as  yet; 
but  receive  "power  as  kings  one 
hour  with  the  beast. 

13  These  have  one  mind,  and 
shall  give  their  power  and 
"strength  unto  the  beast. 

14  These  shall  make  war  witli 
the  ''Lamb,  and  'the  Lamb  shall 
overcome  them:  for  he  is  ^Lord 
of  lords,  and  *^King  of  kings:  and 
'tliey  '^that  are  with  him  are 
"'called,  and  chosen,  and  faith- 
ful. 

15  And  he  saith  unto  me.  The 
"waters  which  thou  sawest, 
wliere  the  ^' ''whore  sitteth,  are 
peoples,  and  multitudes,  and 
nations,    and    tongues. 

16  And  the  ten  horns  which 
thou  sawest  upon  the  beast,  these 
shall  hate  the  ^' "whore,  and  shall 
make  her  desolate  and  naked, 
and  shall  eat  her  flesh,  and  burn 
her  with  fire. 

17  For  "God  hath  put  in 
their  hearts  to  fulfil  his  will, 
and  to  agree,  and  give  their 
kingdom  unto  the  beast,  until 
the  ^words  of  God  shall  be  ful- 
filled. 

18  And  the  ''woman  which  thou 
sawest  is  that  great  city,  which 
reigneth  over  the  kings  of  the 
earth.

CHAPTER  18 

The  fall  of  Babylon.  4  The  people  of  God 
commanded  to  come  out  of  her.  9  The 
lamentation  of  kings,  11  of  merchants,  17 
and  of  seamen,  over  her  fall.  20  The 
saints  are  bidden  to  rejoice.  21  Babylon 
shall  be  found  no  more. 

AND  after  these  things  I  saw 
another  angel  come  down 
from  heaven,  having  great  ^pow- 
er; and  the  earth  was  lightened 
with  his  glory. 

2  x\nd  he  cried  mightily  with  a 
strong  voice,  saying,  "Bab'y-lon 
the  great  is  fallen,  is  fallen,  and 
is  become  the  habitation  of  dev- 
ils, and  the  hold  of  every  foul 
spirit,  and  a  cage  of  every  un- 
clean and  hateful  bird. 

3  For  all  nations  have  drunk  of 
the  ''wine  of  the  wrath  of  her 
fornication,  and  the  kings  of  the 
earth  have  committed  fornica- 
tion with  her,  and  the  merchants 
of  the  earth  are  waxed  rich 
^through  the  abundance  of  her 
delicacies. 

4  And  I  heard  another  voice 
from  heaven,  saying,  '^■'^Come  out 
of  her,  my  people,  that  ye  ''be  not 
partakers  of  her  sins,  and  that 
ye  receive  not  of  her  plagues. 

5  For  her  sins  have  reached  vm- 
to  heaven,  and  God  hath  remem- 
bered her  iniquities. 

6  ^'^Reward  her  even  as  she 
rewarded  you,  and  double  unto 
her  double  according  to  her 
works :  in  the  cup  which  she  hath 
filled  fill  to  her  double. 

7  How  much  she  hath  glorified 
herself,  and  ^lived  deliciously,  so 
much  torment  and  sorrow  give 
her:  for  she  ''•'^saith  in  her  heart, 
I  sit  a  queen,  and  am  no  widow, 
and  shall  see  no  sorrow. 

8  Therefore  shall  her  'plagues 
come  in  one  day,  death,  and 
mourning,  and  famine;  and  she 
shall  be  utterly  burned  with  fire : 
for  strong  is  the  Lord  God  who 
^judgeth  her. 

9  And  the  kings  of  the  earth, 
who  have  committed  fornication

^unto    the 


honour,  and  power, 
Lord   our   God: 

2  For  true  and  righteous  are  his 
"judgments:  for  he  hath  ^judged 
the  great  ^whore,  which  did  cor- 
rupt the  earth  with  her  fornica- 
tion, and  hath  avenged  the  blood 
of  his  servants  at  her  hand^ 

3  And  again  they  said,  Al-le- 
lu'ia.  And  her  smoke  rose  up  for 
ever  and  ever. 

4  And  the  four  and  twenty 
elders  and  the  four  ^beasts  fell 
down  and  ''worshipped  God  that 
sat  on  the  ^throne, saying.  Amen; 
Al-le-lu'ia. 

5  And  a  voice  came  out  of  the 
throne,  saying,  "Piaise  our  God, 
all  ye  his  servants,  and  ye  that 
/fear  him,  both  small  and  great. 

6  And  I  heard  as  it  were  the 
voice  of  a  great  multitude,  and 
as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and 
as  the  voice  of  mighty  thunder- 
ings,  saying,  "Al-le-lu'ia:  for  the 

'reiffn- 


Ivord   God  ''omnipotent  " 
eth. 

7  Let  us  be  glad  and  rejoice, 
and  give  honour  to  him:  for  the 
'■'marriage  of  the  ^Lamb  is  come, 
and  his  '•'"wife  hath  made  her- 
,self  ready. 

8  And  ■'to  "her  was  granted 
that  she  should  be  arrayed  in 
fine  linen,  "-^clean  and  white: 
for  the  «fine  linen  is  the  ^right- 
eousness  of  saints. 

9  And  he  saith  unto  me,  Write, 
^Blessed  are  they  which  are  'called 
unto  the  hnarriage  "supper  of  the 
*Lamb.  And  he  saith  unto  me, 
These  are  the  true  sayings  of  God. 

10  And  I  *'fell  at  his  feet  to  wor- 
ship him.  And  he  said  unto  me, 
See  thmi  do  it  not:  I  am  thy  fel- 
lowservant,  and  of  thy  brethren 
that  have  the  testimony  of  Je'- 
.sus:  "'•  ^worship  God:  for  the 
testimony  of  Je'sus  is  the  spirit 
of  prophecy. 

11  And  I  saw  heaven  opened, 
and  behold  a  white  %orse;  and 


he  that  sat  upon  him  was  called 
T^aithful  and  ^True,  and  in  right- 
eousness he  doth  "judge  and  make 

war. 

12  His  eyes  tvere  as  a  flame  of 
fire,  and  on  his  head  were  many 
"crowns;  and  he  had  a  name 
written,  that  no  man  knew,  but 
he  himself. 

13  And  '^he  was  clothed  with  a 
vesture  dipped  in  blood:  and  his 
name  is  called  The  ''■^Word  of 
God. 

14  And  the  armies  which  were 
in  heaven  followed  him  upon 
white  'horses,  clothed  in  fine 
"linen,  ''white  and  clean.  | 

15  And  out  of  his  mouth  goeth  a 
sharp  sword,  that  with  itheshould 
'smite  the  nations:  and  he  shall 
'rule  them  with  a  ^rod  of  iron:  and 
he  treadeth  the  'winepress  of  the 
fierceness  and  "'wrath  of  Almighty 

God. 

16  And  he  hath  on  his  vesture 
and  on  his  thigh  a  name  written, 
"•"KING  OF  KINGS,  AND 
LORD   OF   LORDS. 

17  And  I  saw  an  angel  standing 
in  the  sun;  and  he  cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  saying  to  all  the  fowls 
that  fly  in  the  midst  of  heaven. 
Come  and  gather  yourselves  to- 
gether unto  the  supper  of  the 
great  God; 

18  That  ye  may  eat  the  flesh  of 
kings,  and  the  fle.sh  of  captains, 
and  the  flesh  of  mighty  men,  and 
the  flesh  of  horses,  and  of  them 
that  sit  on  them,  and  the  flesh  of 
all  men,  both  free  and  bond,  both 
small  and  great. 

19  And  I  saw  the  ^beast,  and  the 
kings  of  the  earth,  and  their  ar- 
mies, gathered  together  to  make 
war  against  him  that  sat  on  the 
horse,  and  against  his  army. 

20  And  the  ''beast  was  taken, 
and  with  him  the  false  prophet 
that  wrought  ^miracles  before 
him,  wnth  which  he  deceived 
them  that  had  received  the  mark

The  second  death. 

AND  I  saw  an  angel  come  down 
from  heaven,  having  the 
"key  of  tlie  ^bottomless  *pit  and  a 
great  "chain  in  his  hand. 

2  And  he  laid  hold  on  the  drag- 
on, that  old  serpent,  which  is  the 
Dev'il,  and  ''Sa'tan,  and  bound 
him  a  thousantl  '"years, 

3  And  cast  him  into  the  ^bot- 
tomless "pit,  and  shut  him  up, 
and  set  a  seal  upon  him,  that  he 
sJKMild  deceive  the  nations  no 
m(jre,  till  the  thousand  ''years 
should  be  fulfilled:  and  after  that 
he  must  be  loosed  a  little  season. 

-4  And  ^"I  saw  thrones,  and 
they  sat  U])on  them,  and  judg- 
ment was  given  unto  them:  and 
/  saw  the  souls  of  them  that  were 
''•^''beheaded  for  the  '-'witness  of 
Je'.sus,  and  for  the  'word  of  (rod, 
and  which  had  n(H  worshipped 
the'" beast,  neither  his  image,  nei- 
ther had  received  his  mark  u])()n 
tlieir  foreheads,  or  in  their  hands; 
and  they  "lived  and  *reigued  with 
"Christ  a  thousand  years. 

5  But  the  rest  of  the  dead  lived 
not  again  until  the  thousand 
years  were  finished.  This  is  the 
first  ''resurrection. 

6  Blessed  and  holy  is  he  that 
hath  part  in  the  first  ''resurrec- 


tion: on  such  the  ^second  death 
hath  no  power,  but  they  shall  be 
'priests  of  God  and  of  Christ, 
and  shall  reign  with  him  a  thou- 
sand years. 

7  And  when  the  thousand  years 
are  expired,  ''Sa'tan  shall  be 
loosed  out  of  his  prison, 

8  And  sliall  go  out  to  deceive 
the  nations  wiiicli  are  in  the  four 
({uarters  of  the  earth,  '^Gog  and 
*Ma'g6g,  to  gather  them  together 
to  battle:  the  number  of  whom  is 
as  the  sand  of  the  sea. 

9  And  they  went  up  on  the 
breadth  of  the  earth,  and  com- 
passed the  camp  of  the  saints 
about,  and  the  beloved  city:  and 
'fire  came  down  "^from  God  out 
of  heaven,  and  tlevoured  them. 

10  And  the  devil  that  deceived 
them  was  cast  into  the  "-^lake  of 
fire  and  brimstone,  where  the 
beast  and  the  false  prophet  are, 
and  shall  be  "'tormented  day  and 
night  ^for  ever  and  ever. 

11  And  I  saw  a  great  ''white 
^throne,  and  "him  that  sat  on  it, 
from  whose  face  the  *earth  and 
the  4ieaven  fled  away;  and  there 
was  found  no  place  for  them. 

12  And  I  saw  the  dead,  small 
and  great,  stand  before  ^God; 
and  the  books  were  opened:  and 
another ''book  was  opened,  which 
is  the  hook  of  life:  and  the  ''dead 
were  ''judged  out  of  tliose  things 
which  were  written  in  the  books, 
according  to  their  works. 

13  And  ^tlie  sea  gave  up  the 
dead  which  were  in  it;  and  death 
and  ''hell  delivered  up  the  dead 
which  were  in  them:  and  they 
were  ^judged  every  man  accord- 
ing to  their  works. 

14  And  ''death  and  ^hell  were 
cast  into  the  *lake  of  fire.  This  is

ND  I  saw  a  *new  heaven 
and  a  new  "earth:  for  the 
first  ^heaven  and  the  first  '^earth 
were  passed  away;  and  there 
was  no  more  sea, 

2  And  I  ^John  saw  the  ''holy 
city,  ''new  Je-ni'sa-lem,  coming 
down  from  God  out  of  heaven, 
prepared  as  a  '^bride  adorned 
for  her  husliand. 

3  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out 
of  ^heaven  saying.  Behold,  the 
"•''tabernacle  of  God  is  with  men, 
and  '-^e  will  dwell  with  them, 
and  ^-'they  shall  be  his  people, 
and  God  himself  shall  be  with 
them,  and  be  their  God. 

4  And  ^''"God  shall  wipe  away 
all  "tears  from  their  eyes;  and 
there  sliall  be  no  more  "death, 
neither  sorrow,  nor  crying,  nei- 
ther shall  there  be  any  more 
''pain:  for  the  former  things  are 
passed  away. 

5  And  he  that  sat  upon  the 
^throne  said,  Behold,  I  make  all 
things  new.  And  he  said  unto 
me.  Write:  for  these  words  are 
true  and  faithful. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me,  *It  is 
done.  I  am  ''Al'pha  and  ''O- 
me'-ga,  the  beginning  and  the 
end.  I  will  give  unto  him  that 
is  ^''•■"athirst  of  the  ''■"'fountain 
of  the  ^water  of  life  freely. 

7  ^'^He  that  '^•''overcometh 
"shall  ''inherit  all  things;  and  I 
will  be  his  God,  and  he  shall  be

their  part  in  the  "lake  which 
burneth  with  "fire  and  ^brim- 
stone: which  is  the  ^'second 
death. 

9  And  there  came  unto  me 
one  of  the  seven  angels  which 
had  the  seven  vials  full  of  the 
seven  last  plagues,  and  talked 
with  me,  ''saying.  Come  hither,  I 
will  shew  thee  the  *bride,  the 
'Lamb's  'Vife. 

10  And  he  carried  me  away  in 
the  "'"'spirit  to  a  great  and  high 
mountain,  and  shewed  me  that 
great  city,  the  holy  Je-rii'sfi-lem, 
descending  out  of  heaven  from 
God, 

11  Having  the  ^glory  of  God: 
and  her  light  ivas  like  unto  a 
stone  most  precious,  even  like  a 
^jasper  stone,  clear  as  ^crystal; 

12  And  had  a  ^wall  great  and 
high,  and  had  twelve  'Agates,  and 
at  the  gates  twelve  angels,  and 
names  written  thereon,  which 
jire  the  names  of  the  twelve  tribes 
of  the  children  of  "Is'ra-el: 

13  On  the  east  three  'Agates;  on 
the  north  three  gates;  on  the 
south  three  gates;  and  on  the 
west  three  gates. 

14  And  the  ''wall  of  the  city  had 
twelve  foundations,  and  in  them 
the  names  of  the  twelve  ''apos- 
tles of  the  ''Lamb. 

15  And  he  that  talked  with  me 
had  a  golden  ^reed  to  measure 
the  city,  and  the  gates  thereof, 
and  the  wall  thereof. 

16  And  the  city  lieth  four- 
square, and  the  length  is  as  large 
as  the  breadth:  and  he  measured 
the  city  with  the  ''reed,  twelve 
thousand  ^furlongs.  The  length 
and  the  breadth  and  the  height 
of  it  are  equal. 

17  And  he  measui-ed  the  "wall

angel. 

18  And  the  building  of  the  wall 
of  it  was  of  ^jasper:  and  the  city 
^cas  pure  'gold,  like  unto  clear 
^glass. 

19  And  the  foundations  of  the 
Vail  of  the  city  were  garnished 
with  all  manner  of  ^precious 
stones.  The  first  foundation  was 
■^jasper;  the  second,  '^sapphire; 
the  third,  a  chalcedony;  the 
fourth,  an  'emerald; 

20 The  fifth,  sardonyx;  the  sixth,

21  And  the  twelve  "gates  were 
twelve  ^pearls;  every  several  gate 
was  of  one  pearl:  and  the  street 
of  the  city  was  pure  gold,  as  it 
were  transparent  glass. 

22  And  I  saw  no  ''temple  there- 
in: for  the  *Lord  God  Almighty 
and  the  ^''Lamb  are  the  temple 
of  it. 

23  And  the  city  had  no  need  of 
the  "sun,  neither  of  the  ^moon, 
to  shine  in  it:  for  the  glory  of 
God  did  lighten  it,  and  the 
*''Lamb  is  the  ^■"'light  thereof. 

24  And  the  nations  ®of  them 
which  are  saved  shall  ^walk  in 
the  light  of  it:  and  the  kings  of 
tiie  earth  do  bring  their  glory 
and  honour  into  it. 

25  And  the  "gates  of  it  shall  not 
be  shut  at  all  by  day:  for  there 
.shall  l)e  no  ^night  there. 

26  And  they  shall  bring  the 
glory  and  honour  of  the  nations 
into  ^it. 

27  And  there  shall  in  no  wise 
enter  into  ^it  any  tiling  that  dc- 
fileth,  neither  whatsoever  work-

CHAPTER  22 

The  river  and  tree  of  life.  3  The  blessedness 
of  God's  servants.  6  The  conclusion: 
sundry  directions,  promises,  and  exhorta- 
tions. 18  Nothing  may  be  added  to  or 
taken  from  the  words  of  this  book. 

AND  he  shewed  me  a  'pure 
"river  of  water  of  life,  clear 
as  ^crystal,  proceeding  out  of  the 
'^throne  of  God  and  of  the'^Lamb. 

2  In  the  midst  of  the  street  of  it, 
and  on  either  side  of  the  river, 
was  there  the  "^tree  of  life,  which 
bare  twelve  manner  of  fruits,  and 
yielded  her  fruit  every  month: 
and  the  ^leaves  of  the  tree  were 
for  the  healing  of  the  nations. 

3  And  there  shall  be  no  more 
curse:  but  the  '^throne  of  God 
and  of  the  "^Lamb  shall  be  in  it; 
and  his  servants  shall  serve  him: 

4  And  ''■■''they  shall  see  his  face; 
and  his  name  sJiall  be  in  their 
foreheads. 

5  And  Hhere  shall  be  no  ^"night 
there;  and  they  need  no  ^candle, 
neither  light  of  the  sun;  for  the 
Lord  God  giveth  them  light:  and 
"■''they  shall  reign  for  *''ever  and 
ever. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me,  These 
'"sayings  are  faithful  and  true: 
and  the  Lord  ^God  of  the  holy 
prophets  sent  his  angel  '*to  shew 
unto  his  servants  the  things 
which  must  shortly  be  done. 

7  Beiiold,  I  "come  quickly: 
"blessed  is-  he  that  "-"keepeth  the 
sayings  of  the  ])rophecy  of  this 
l)ook. 

8  And  I  John  saw  these  things, 
and  heard  tJtem.  And  when  I 
had  heard  and  seen,  I  *fell  down 
to  worship  before  the  feet  of  the 
angel  which  shewed  me  these 
things. 

9  Then  saith  he  unto  me,  'See 
than  do  it  not:  for  I  am  Hliy  fel-
